"So, the timeline is that when I was five, they erased my memories and gave me the name 'Chu Shangli' at my funeral. After that, I obtained the system, discovered the truth, and voluntarily erased my memories, returning to the age of five. They exploited their trust in you to have you store everything you saw in a database that can only be unlocked when your favorability reaches 90 or above?"
"That's about it—" the system laughed. "But—you're being really bold. You're entrusting everything to me—completely disregarding the fact that I have a terrible character and a twisted personality. This is the first time I've been entrusted with such a heavy mission—in fact, I've been trying to decide when to return you to 15, and even considered whether I should return you to the year you were 5.
My original plan was to have you return to your 15th birthday on the day Wei Shengfan was killed and you were imprisoned. However, I discovered one thing—if you weren't locked in the birdcage, your desire for revenge against Miss Chu Moyin might have grown unnecessarily, and that wouldn't be resolved by Miss Chu Moyin proposing cooperation. If you were to return to your 5th birthday, it would mean that Miss Chu Moyin's favorability towards you wasn't high enough—so I had to let you spend enough time in the birdcage to successfully kill Miss Chu Moyin in your previous life. This way, your hatred value would decrease, and the possibility of cooperation would become possible—"
The system paused and sighed, "Well, I have to admit that your stubbornness can be quite troublesome. I never imagined you would need to cultivate your feelings again, going back and forth dozens of times, before you would agree to cooperate with her."
In other words, I have returned to the age of 15 and repeated this cycle dozens of times.
However, I didn't feel any real feeling at all——
"In other words, you can now modify my memory at will?"
"Originally, it wasn't allowed, but you gave me the power—perhaps because you've been with me for a long time, your trust in me has already exceeded the limit. At the beginning, it was still a gamble, but now it's no longer the case—"
“…”
Chu Shangli whispered, "Then, can you return my lost memories?"
"Well, of course you can—but our favorability level isn't even 90 yet. Once it reaches 90, I'll naturally return it to you." The system said quietly—
A gentle and quiet voice lingers in my ears.
That is to say, when the favorability reaches 90, you will get something and you will lose your memory?
"But, if your memories come back, you'll feel a little regretful, right?" the system whispered.
"regret?"
"Well—even if you can recall your memories, some times can no longer be replicated." The system said quietly, "I know. Although you might want to accumulate points to retrieve those precious memories when you lose them—but when you actually find them, it might just be a punishment game."
The system displayed the number "3" in front of him.
Chu Shangli originally wanted to ask who the three points were - but she quickly realized that the "3" did not refer to the favorability between her and anyone, but the number of times she recalled the memory.
So, since I recalled it three times, it means I forgot it three times.
The first time was out of compulsion, the second time was to gather intelligence—
What about the third time?
Was the third time a struggle because he couldn't bear it anymore?
If I had no memories and had to travel back and forth between familiar people...
