Despite hearing its obviously humble words, Ning Jing remained unmoved.

From the probing just now, she realized that Fuqiang clearly didn't want her to die.

Or perhaps, at least half of what it told itself before was true.

However, it has always concealed its ultimate purpose.

If it weren't for the words Tan Dingguo and Fu Hongxing said that aroused her suspicion, and her probing questioning of its strong reaction, she wouldn't have been so certain.

Seeing that Ning Jing was so unyielding, Fu Qiang lowered its head in a moment of helplessness.

Damn it, I've messed up again!

(I'm returning your previous memories to you. Don't worry, I haven't erased them; I've just made you forget them.)

Fuqiang finally surrendered, he said helplessly.

“State your purpose. If you try to fool me again, you will never get a partner, but an adversary.”

Ning Jing's face remained calm and expressionless, but her words made Fu Qiang secretly stomp his feet, wishing he could materialize and punch his host twice.

"I know you're probably so angry you want to punch me. Do you think you're the only one with that thought?"

As if she could hear what Fuqiang was thinking, Ning Jing rolled her eyes at the air and said disdainfully.

After listening, Fuqiang remained silent for a long time, so long that if it weren't for the faint hissing sound of electricity reaching Ningjing's ears, she would have thought it was playing dead again!

When two sides stand in confrontation, the one who is fearless will prevail.

Fu Qiang asked weakly.

(What do you want to know?)

Ning Jing pursed her lips and asked, "I want to know what your purpose is?"

(Go back, I want to go back.)

Fu Qiang's slightly resentful voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, Ning Jing's heart stirred slightly.

"Why do you want to go back? Aren't you already bound to me? Isn't our bond permanent?"

Fuqiang paused for a moment after hearing this.

(If I hadn't been punished, do you think I would have tied myself to you?)

It paused for a moment at this point.

Such a sophisticated system has been thrown into such a godforsaken place; it must be incredibly frustrating.

However, this is the only way for it to go back.

Upon hearing these words, Ning Jing felt a strange, indescribable feeling welling up inside her.

She frowned and asked in a low voice, "So, what you said about being able to trade between different planes once you reach level 6, were you lying to me?"

Or perhaps your ultimate goal is simply to get me to upgrade the system's level?

Upon hearing Ning Jing's words, Fu Qiang was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. Of course, he would have to have a heart first.

Suppressing her surprise and disbelief, she replied somewhat angrily, "Of course not, everything I said is true."

Of course, the desire to upgrade is genuine.

It is in a dilemma. On the one hand, it wants Tranquility to upgrade as soon as possible, but on the other hand, it does not want Tranquility to upgrade, so that other systems can see its current miserable state.

Before today, it planned to let the host earn as many gold coins as possible, and then upgrade all at once when the host reached that level.

In that case, it has at least a 70% chance of finding a way back to headquarters.

Hearing Fuqiang say this, Ning Jing didn't completely believe him.

However, its answer was probably not false.

As long as she reaches level 6 and can engage in interdimensional trading, thus eliminating the bullet in Fu Hongxing's mind, the existence of this system won't have a significant impact on her.

At least so far, the system's existence has only made things a little more convenient for her.
