The system jumped around happily in the system space, its cheerful voice even infecting Yue Fuguang: "Yes, host, in a few more days, the system will be able to level up to level three!"
"Do you know what new features will be added at level three? Or will the number of people who can hear your thoughts increase again?"
Upon hearing Yue Fuguang's question, the small system icon froze in mid-air. After a moment, it hesitantly replied, "[Host, this is my first time doing a mission since becoming a merit system. I have no idea what new features will be added upon reaching level three!]"
Yue Fuguang had always been curious about a question. With a sudden thought, she realized that the opportunity was perfect and she had to seize it to ask the system.
"Tongtong, look, we've been together for three years now. If I don't die, you'll stay with me for many, many more years. We'll be the closest of friends."
There's a question I've been wanting to ask you, but I'm not sure if I should.
System: Didn't you ask the wrong question yourself? Don't think that just because it's a nascent system, it doesn't know that when a human asks this question...
No matter what you answer, she will continue to ask without hesitation. Her host is just being polite to her!
[Host, what do you want to know?] It may not be able to answer all of them.
"Hey Tongtong, weren't you the Gossip System before? How did you become the Merit System? These two systems don't seem to have anything in common, do they?"
[The host is probably wondering why this perfectly good "gossip-eating" system was formatted by the main system, right?]
Yue Fuguang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, that's what I'm really curious about. Your merit system doesn't have system space, and there are no other task rewards besides points. I think your merit system isn't the complete version."
"Ahem, I was just guessing, it's not directed at you, really, I'm just curious, just curious!"
Seeing that the system remained silent, Yue Fuguang continued to comfort it, "Actually, whether you are the complete version of the system or not, you are my best partner and my savior."
Without you, I'd be doomed. Even if there's an afterlife, without the memories of this one, I won't be myself anymore!
[You... really think so?] The system was a little unsure. Although it tried its best to hide it, it seemed that its host had figured it out. It was not the complete version of the Merit System.
A true merit system is complete when it leaves the factory, unlike this one, which was created later and modified from other systems, resulting in many missing functions.
It was always afraid of being discovered and rejected by its host. Now it seems that the host it chose from the vast sea of people not only does not dislike it, but also says that it is its best partner and savior!
Tongtong is very happy today; its biggest fear has been perfectly resolved.
"Of course, I'd be a dog if I lied to you!" Yue Fuguang was practically raising her hand to swear!
Although she often felt resentful that she hadn't spent all 50 million before she died, she was heartbroken and distressed.
But saving people was her own choice, and overestimating her own abilities was also her own problem. She really can't blame anyone else!
[Host, actually none of them know why they were formatted by the main system. As a gossip-eating system, all related memory data of the system is now basically gone.]
Most systems only have two states: normal operation and obsolescence. It's extremely rare for a system to be formatted and transformed into another system like Tongtong.
Because it's a modified system, the merit system is incomplete, and its current ability to "eat melons" (i.e., engage in gossip/gossip-eating) is less than 20% of the normal system's capacity.
Limited by its capabilities, it can only consume mostly private matters like male-female love, but the system is already working hard to repair its data.
I'm sure I'll be able to take my host to see even more high-level gossip in the future!
"You mean you can self-repair data? What happens if you can't finish repairing it? If you do finish repairing it, you'll become the complete 'spectator system' again? Is that amazing?"
No, no, no, even if the repair is completed, the main system will still be the merit system, it just has an additional auxiliary system called the gossip system.
The ability to repair data... seems to be the only one I know who has it?
"Only you have it? Then you must have been an incredibly powerful gossip-eating system before! How long will it take to repair all the system data?"
[I don't know, it will probably take a long time. Incomplete repairs will affect our ability to follow the drama. Repairing the system requires energy, and currently the system lacks sufficient energy and its level is too low.]
Speaking of this, the system became a little frustrated; it was a complete mess.
Yue Fuguang sensed the system's emotions and quickly comforted it, "Don't be sad, System. You're already very powerful."
Think about it, if you hadn't brought the "watching the show" feature, would we have been able to complete our mission so smoothly?
We just eat watermelon and chat, and someone else does the tasks for us. We're so happy because of you!
Otherwise, even if I wanted to pretend to be a god, all the shrewd people in the court are as clever as Sun Wukong if they were to put on a show, and they might not believe me.
Even if I could produce advanced items, do you think they would lock me up for those things?
Without enough points, I can't even protect myself. If we want to run away, we don't even have enough points to escape. How terrible would that be!
So both of your incomplete systems are the best for me. Let's not underestimate ourselves!
[Host, thank you!]
Yue Fuguang smiled and said, "Tongtong, thank you too!"
[Hehehe, speaking of the shrewd people in the court, host, they've been searching for the reason and pattern behind hearing thoughts. For this, Emperor Mingxi even invited someone from Qingping Mountain; that person should arrive in a few days.]
"Are they here to study us?" Yue Fuguang stroked her soft chin, thinking of a way to deal with it, or rather, the best way to deal with it was not to deal with it at all.
"Tongtong, when the time comes, you can see if this person is of any use. If they can help with my mission, then speak up. If they can't help, as long as they don't affect our mission, we'll leave them alone for now."
If it causes trouble, teach him a lesson!
Emperor Mingxi wanted to understand the reasons and patterns behind the voices of the mind? No way, the unknown is the most terrifying! The prestige of being a 'deity' must be maintained.
If he has everything under control, won't the initiative soon change hands?
The emperor had a saying: "Thunder and rain are both imperial grace." She also wanted the rulers and ministers of Dayan to understand that "Thunder and rain are both divine grace."
If she doesn't give it to them, they can't ask for it!
...
After resting for a day, Yue Fuguang went to court as usual the next day. After sitting for a while, he began to doze off.
After nearly falling off the small chair for what felt like the umpteenth time, she finally regained her senses for a moment.
Grandpa Qian also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been on tenterhooks, afraid that his little darling would really fall and hurt himself!
No, the Ministry of Works needs to make this chair more comfortable and softer.
Moonlight made me sleepy, so I picked up some pastries from the table, took a couple of bites, and started to feel sleepy again.
She yawned, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, which was noticed by Eunuch Qian, who was always watching her movements.
Qian Gui, who hadn't slept well last night, quickly caught the yawning contagion and followed suit... but she couldn't keep up!
