Yan Xi ran home panting, and just as he entered the door, the system prompt sounded.
"Ding! Friendly reminder: The countdown is about to begin. Please select your strategy criteria as soon as possible, otherwise the main system will randomly select a match."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xi froze in place, "What the hell? Are you really going to be so deceiving? Five hours have already passed in just a moment?"
System 5555: "What do you mean by a while? The wolf's den is so far away, it would take four hours to go there and back. Besides, doesn't it take you time to dig a hole? Anyway, I reminded you several times, but you just dug a hole and ran away without saying a word. I thought you knew."
"Ding! Countdown begins, 5..."
System 5555: "Hurry up! Tell me which standard you want to choose! Otherwise, it will be too late."
“4…”
Yan Xi spoke decisively: "Second, get the heroine's approval."
“3…”
System 5555: "Think about it again. You are no match for the hero."
“2…”
Yan Xi: "Don't think about it, this is it."
System 5555: "No, don't..." Before I could finish choosing two random words, the prompt sounded again.
"1... Ding! The countdown has ended. The host has detected that they intend to select the second criterion. The host has approved it. The system has officially confirmed the second criterion. Please complete the task as soon as possible."
Yan Xi: "OK, no problem."
"..." System 5555 went crazy for a moment, then laughed with a hopeless look on his face. "Host, I wish you good luck."
Yan Xi heard the mockery and helplessness, frowned, and asked in confusion: "System, what are you doing? Don't you still trust my ability?"
It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I can't trust you at all.
Of course, System 5555 didn't say this.
"Anyway, I've never seen you complete a task using the second standard."
Yan Xi: "No, isn't that what I am like in the second world?"
System 5555 rolled its eyes speechlessly. "Think carefully, how did the system make the final decision? Wasn't it the third criterion?"
Yan Xi: "But that's because the heroine turned into a boy. It's none of my business."
Upon hearing this, System 5555 went berserk. "What do you mean it's none of your business? Lan Yin became a male mermaid because he loves you. Do you know how painful it is to transform prematurely? Few mermaids can endure this. He did this for you, and now you're telling me it's none of your business. How is that even possible? No one with a conscience would say that!"
Seeing him so angry, Yan Xi was shocked. "System, didn't you say that we can't fall in love with people in the mission world, and we can't invest too much emotion? Am I wrong to think so?"
"I..." System 5555 choked and said angrily, "How can it be right? No matter what, you can't say such a thing. Besides, do you think I'm a fool? Do you think I don't know that you and those male protagonists... you..."
He suddenly paused, and Yan Xi asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong with me?"
"Nothing." System 5555 said irritably, "You should think carefully about how to complete the task. I'm tired and need to rest."
As soon as the voice fell, the main system prompted that it had been offline.
When Yan Xi saw this situation, he pinched his rabbit ears helplessly.
Is he going too far?
But no one gave him an answer.
In a blink of an eye, the day for the Rabbit Tribe to pay tribute to the Gray Wolf Tribe and the Golden Tiger Tribe is approaching.
Every household took out their share of tribute and handed it over to the patriarch.
Yanxi's parents handed over all the animal skins and food they had saved this year.
All of a sudden, the family became penniless.
Yan Xi looked at his father, mother, eighteen sisters and sixteen brothers, all with sad faces, and dared not utter a word.
Because the ordinary tribute has been handed over, a rabbit must be handed over tonight for the Gray Wolf Tribe and the Golden Tiger Tribe to enjoy.
The palms and backs of their hands are all flesh, and they simply cannot let go.
In addition to their family, the other rabbits were in the same situation. Therefore, on this day, the atmosphere in the rabbit tribe became particularly depressing and no longer as lively as before.
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Xi's father suddenly stood up, clenching his fists, as if he had made up his mind, "I'll go talk to the clan leader. I'll take care of our family."
Hearing this, everyone stood up and said, "No, Dad, you are the pillar of the family. What will we do without you?"
"Yes, Mo, as their father, the children rely on you. Who will take care of them when you are gone? I think it is better for me to go. I am old and not as mobile as before. I would be a burden at home. I am the most suitable person to go." Yan Xi's mother pulled him and said with red eyes.
"No! Mom, we don't allow you to do this. If anyone has to go, I'll go. As the eldest brother, I'm the most suitable person."
"What are you talking about? The Gray Wolf Tribe and the Golden Tiger Tribe said that the rabbits they offer must be young and plump. You are old and the meat is not good. The tribe leader will definitely not agree. I'd better go."
"Qi, don't argue with me. I'll handle whatever is said today. I'm the eldest brother."
"No, I'll go."
"Stop talking, I'm going."
"I usually eat the most. I'll go."
"I'm the fattest, I'll go."
“…”
Everyone was talking at once, and the whole cave was noisy. At this moment, a sudden gurgling sound made them all stop and look at Yan Xi in the corner.
