Chapter 84 The Charlatan Imperial Advisor Was Captured by the Dark-Faced Tyrant (42)
Yu Sheng slowly woke up, and the first thing she did was drag 888 out of the dark room where he was leisurely reading a novel and drinking tea.
888 smiled at him, "Sheng Sheng, don't be so angry. I was just adding a little spice to your relationship, so you can't yell at me, okay?"
Yu Sheng smiled kindly, "I won't be mean to you..."
But I'll beat you half to death!
Just as 888 was about to relax, it felt a renewed sense of unease. The more Yu Sheng smiled, the more uneasy it felt.
Having spent this much time together, 888 has already gotten to know Yu Sheng's personality well enough.
Seeing Yu Sheng's expression, it decided to slip away first.
But Yu Sheng seemed to be waiting for it to make a move, pinching 888's stick figure head, causing 888 to keep flapping its little short legs.
"Yu Sheng, what are you doing?!"
"What are you doing? What do you think?" Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes dangerously, then rolled and flattened it, even twisting its head off.
888 screamed, "Ah—the leader's head—!"
"Yu Sheng, you can't follow Xie Hanzhou's example. Give me back my head..."
"Waaaaah, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay...?"
888's severed head cried incessantly, tears streaming down its face like a fountain, which disgusted Yu Sheng.
Seeing its pitiful appearance, I finally softened and put the head back on.
888 feels like something's not right.
Upon closer reflection, it became clear that Yu Sheng seemed to have put his head upside down.
"Sheng Sheng, you've put my head upside down."
Yu Sheng stared at it with some surprise. "Aren't you the same front and back? Where did you put it up backwards?"
It couldn't help but protest, "It's different!"
"What's different?"
To be honest, Yu Sheng really couldn't see the difference.
"It's just different, isn't it? I know my own body best; you've just gone wrong with your prescription!"
"So you want to experience that feeling of my head being twisted off again?"
888 clutched its head in terror and decided to do it itself.
Yu Sheng watched as it struggled to put its head back on while crying.
There's something Yu Sheng has always wanted to ask: "Are all your systems stick figures like you?"
"Of course not. At the beginning, we were all stick figures, but later, as we accumulated more points, we could exchange them for all sorts of bodies."
At this point, 888 became visibly excited.
"But the system's body is very expensive in the system store, and the price is different for different races. Even within the same race, a good-looking body will be more expensive."
"The most expensive thing is the human body. Under normal circumstances, not many systems can afford to buy it unless they complete a lot of tasks to earn points to buy it."
Yu Sheng astutely grasped the words "points" and "tasks".
"So why don't I know any of this? Also, since you get points for completing tasks, I should have points too, right?"
888 felt guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Oops, I let it slip.
Yu Sheng was amused by its reaction. "So you did have it? But you kept it? Bye-bye, you're getting bolder and bolder."
"You said you spent a fortune to buy me a big red wedding dress, but I guess you used my points to buy it, didn't you?"
In the last sentence, 888 could clearly hear the gritted teeth in his voice.
"Oh dear, Sheng Sheng, don't be angry~"
Yu Sheng wasn't angry that it had swallowed his points—those points were useless to him anyway—but rather that 888 had used his things to give him gifts, causing him to be targeted by Xie Hanzhou in various ways...
"Then why don't you get a nicer body? Stick figures are so ugly."
888 felt very wronged, "They didn't have many points to begin with, and they had to use their points wisely."
"Ha, the blade you're referring to is just CEO romance novels and all sorts of snacks?"
"Well, that's not wrong. You can suffer anything but your stomach."
888 is perfectly justified.
How many points do you have left?
"Eight...eighty thousand?"
"Hmm? So..."
"Okay, eight hundred thousand."
Yu Sheng: "..." Very good, these points are quite a lot!
"Don't you have enough points to eat?"
888 said aggrievedly, "You don't understand. I need to accumulate more points, otherwise I won't feel secure."
Actually, it didn't even have 80,000 originally. It was inexplicably given extra before it was bound to Yu Sheng. Later, it guessed that the main god had given it extra money through back channels.
These points disappear as soon as you spend them, so you have to be careful with them.
Yu Sheng was speechless.
"However, if you don't like it, Sheng Sheng, I can reluctantly change to a more pleasing body."
As he spoke, 888 opened the system store.
"Sheng Sheng, what kind of small animals do you like?"
The small animal's body is already the result of enduring pain.
Yu Sheng pointed to the golden hamster set meal, thinking that 888 was just like a little hamster who liked to hoard things.
888 reluctantly spent 80,000 points to get a new skin, which was then held in Yu Sheng's hand and played with continuously.
Yu Sheng even took it out of the mental sea and lay on the bed, poking its head with her fingers intermittently.
"Sheng Sheng, stop poking me, you're hurting me."
Yu Sheng ignored it and continued poking.
888 closed its eyes resignedly, looking utterly hopeless.
Until Xie Hanzhou came in looking all respectable.
He spotted the 888 next to Yu Sheng with his sharp eyes, glanced at it coldly, and then sat down as if nothing had happened.
888 screamed and flailed its body to pull at its own calf.
It was so angry it wanted to curse.
Are you blind? Didn't you see this huge mouse? You almost sat on me and killed me!
After pulling its leg back, 888 nestled on top of Yu Sheng's head, rummaging through Yu Sheng's hair and watching Xie Hanzhou warily.
Xie Hanzhou's face turned completely dark.
888: No! I won't!
"Don't make me say it a second time!"
888 obediently climbed down from Yu Sheng's head, its head drooping, and was then picked up by Xie Hanzhou's two fingers.
It was in pain and it squeaked and cried out.
"Sheng Sheng, this is... a mouse? Contact with mice can easily make you sick, so I'll have someone feed it to the cat right away."
The entire mouse was stunned. Ignoring whether Xie Hanzhou would discover it could talk, it yelled at Yu Sheng, "Sheng Sheng, help! I don't want to be eaten!"
Xie Hanzhou pinched its mouth shut. "It's nothing, that was just a sound coming from outside."
"Alright, let it go now. If you keep playing with it, you'll kill it."
"This is my little pet, don't kill it."
Since his wife had spoken, Xie Hanzhou had no choice but to reluctantly put down the 888.
"Sheng Sheng, isn't it enough that you've raised me? What can this little thing do? I can do everything it can do, and I can do things it can't do!"
Yu Sheng: Oh my god, the familiar recipe, the familiar taste.
