Chapter 009 Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Shen Baili did not answer the system's question, but asked: "Why did you suddenly go offline again?"

It always goes offline suddenly, is totally unreliable, and is stuck on critical issues.

Shen Baili was not at all reassured.

System: "I am severely damaged, but after the repairs are completed, I will not be forced offline suddenly, so don't worry, host."

Shen Baili was skeptical, but apart from believing it, she had no other choice for the time being.

She remained calm and continued to ask, "What extra chapter did you unlock?"

She remembered clearly what was said before the system went offline, and she had a feeling that the extra chapter had something to do with her.

System: "One third of the extra chapter unlocked this time is about the host~"

"At the end of the story, Shen Wan has an incurable cancer and you have no money to pay for her medical treatment... You raise the money and get hit by a car and die on your way back to the hospital."

Shen Baili's nails dug into her palms. The sharp pain calmed her down and she got to the point: "Who did I borrow the money from?"

System: "Heroine Sang Ya."

Shen Baili felt that the name sounded familiar: "Big brother's fiancée?"

System: "Yes, the heroine Sang Ya is Xie Zhiyu's fiancée."

Shen Baili was shocked: "So my elder brother is the male lead?"

She quickly denied it again: "The original novel describes the Xie family as a family of beautiful, strong and tragic people... Could it be a healing plot?"

System: "No, Xie Zhiyu is a villain. Sang Ya feels guilty towards the Xie family, and because you look pitiful, she lent you money..."

Shen Baili grasped the key point again: "Why does she feel guilty towards the Xie family? What did she do?"

System: "I have skipped the extra chapter. If you want to know, you will need more energy to unlock the chapter."

After saying that, the system couldn't help but say playfully: "Host, I'm really awesome, right? I can get to your ending right away~"

Shen Baili: "...You are really amazing, keep it up."

System: “Okay.”

The extra chapter provides a lot of information. Shen Baili asked: "So, if you have enough energy to deal with the original plot, we can survive? Will my mother still get cancer?"

"Yes, as long as the system maintains its energy, the host will not be affected by the plot."

"Once the energy is replenished to 100%, the host can completely get rid of the plot, and we can all be free." The system said honestly, and the tone couldn't help but be full of yearning.

Shen Baili pinched her palm: "I understand."

She kept giving herself psychological hints: Shen Baili, you can, you can change your destiny.

You have been doing a great job.

Shen Baili didn't waste time: "Then can you see the two lit obsessions?"

Since she wanted to replenish her energy by realizing her obsession, she had to understand her obsession clearly.

System: "No, this system can only see the progress."

Shen Baili had a deeper understanding of the extent of the system's damage: "...Then how many obsessions do I have in total?"

She had always assumed that she had only one obsession, but the reality was not like that.

Is the mind system some kind of living Buddha? Infinitely fulfilling her wishes?

System: "I also find it strange, but you are an exception."

"The more obsessions there are, the more dispersed the energy becomes, and it is impossible to awaken the true self."

"I speculate that it is because you pushed two ideas at the same time that the energy of this system can rise rapidly."

Shen Baili: "So you mean I have two obsessions that need to be fulfilled?"

System: "If nothing unexpected happens, yes."

Shen Baili: "After you updated, did you fix any useful functions? For example, the mall? For example, the reward function?"

System: "This system does not have these functions. After the update, it is guaranteed that you will not be disconnected suddenly when chatting with the host."

Shen Baili: “…”

"Strange?" The system was puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Shen Baili asked nervously, "What new function did you discover?"

System: "I think there's a bug I haven't fixed yet, but I can't find it."

Shen Baili: “…”

I actually think the system is full of bugs, not just one.

…

"Squad leader? Shen Baili?"

Shen Baili came back to her senses and looked at her head teacher Deng Qin: "Teacher, I'm here."

Deng Qin said, "Bai Li, you and the study committee member should call a few male students to go to the Academic Affairs Office to get the books."

Shen Baili: "Okay."

The morning passed by getting to know classmates, familiarizing myself with the school, and receiving books. School ended early at 3pm.

"Where do you live?" Zhu Zhitao looked at Qiao Yi and Shen Baili and asked, "Maybe we can go back together."

Joey gave an address: "It takes me ten minutes to walk there."

Her home is very close to the school.

"It's not going your way." Zhu Zhitao: "We can't go home together."

Joey took the initiative and said, "You can come to my house and play together next time. You can all come home with me."

Zhu Zhitao: "Okay, okay."

Then the two looked at Shen Baili expectantly: "Bai Li, where do you live?"

Maybe it's closer to her home?

Shen Baili hesitated for a moment and said the name of a community not far from Xie's house.

“My family will come and pick me up.”

Qiao Yi and Zhu Zhitao didn't know anything about the mansion. Only Sang Fang paused while packing his schoolbag.

"Is it far from school?" Joey had a vague impression of this place.

Shen Baili: "It's not too far. My family will come to pick me up."

As they were talking, they walked towards the school gate. Shen Baili saw Shen Wan and ran towards her mother happily. After she ran far away, she realized that she had forgotten to say goodbye to her friends.

She turned around and waved to her new friends: "Bye, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After Shen Baili got in the car, Zhu Zhitao said in a daze: "Bai Li's mother is so beautiful, like a lady in an ancient scroll painting, gentle, dignified, generous and beautiful."

Sang Fang: “…”

Joey nodded heavily: "Yes!"

"Both Baili and her mother smell good."

Zhu Zhitao and Sang Fang looked at her at the same time: "How did you know?!"

Joey was sure: "Because beautiful women always smell good."

Zhu Zhitao and Sang Fang: "..."

***

Shen Baili happily shared with Shen Wan her daily school life, the friends she made, her campaign for class monitor, the food in the school cafeteria, the canteen, etc.

She and her mother always have endless things to talk about. Shen Wan is very interested and listens carefully, giving feedback and asking questions from time to time.

They laughed and talked all the way and returned to Xie's house. When they got home, they found that there were guests visiting the house and housekeeper Lin was entertaining them.

Shen Baili met her eldest brother's fiancée, the legendary heroine.

Sang Ya has almond-shaped eyes, a curled nose, moist and rosy lips, and a pure and lovely appearance. She wears a pink Chanel-style suit, with her long curly hair obediently draped behind her head. She wears a sparkling diamond necklace around her slender white neck, exuding the exquisite temperament of a white, rich and beautiful woman.

When they met, both sides were stunned.

Shen Wan was the first to react and recognized the other person from the information she had seen.

Sang Ya didn't know her, but seeing Shen Wan's dress, she guessed that she was Xie Zhiyu's stepmother, and for a moment she didn't know how to address her.

Shen Wan could see through her discomfort: "You are Sang Ya, right? I am Shen Wan, you can just call me Aunt Shen like Zhiyu did."

Sang Ya nodded and said politely, "Aunt Shen, I'm sorry for coming to visit you in such a presumptuous way. My grandfather has prepared the medicinal wine. Let me bring it over for everyone to taste."

She chose the time on purpose, but she still ran into someone.

Shen Wan smiled and said, "That's thoughtful. Old Xie is just greedy for this and has been thinking about it. Please thank your grandfather for us."

"My family bought a lot of sea cucumbers from abroad. You can take some back."

Sang Ya did not refuse: "Thank you, Aunt Shen."

"I..." She wanted to find an excuse to leave home.

Shen Wan thought the girl was shy, so she took the initiative to speak: "Zhiyu is still in the company? He should be back soon by now, so stay for dinner and let Zhiyu go back."

Sang Ya quickly refused: "No... no need, I just stopped by and my friend is waiting for me."

As if she felt that this was too hasty to distance herself from the matter, she added: "I made an appointment a long time ago to go buy a violin with a friend."

"Is that so? Okay then." Shen Wan didn't force it.

Sang Ya heaved a sigh of relief, picked up the sea cucumber he was going to take away and left, maintaining a distant attitude throughout the whole process.

Shen Baili narrowed her eyes: "She's a little weird."

Sang Ya subconsciously resisted contact with Xie Zhiyu, but took the initiative to come to Xie's house?
