Chapter 17 The White Lotus Character
The residence, now converted into the Prince Yong's mansion, was initially met with joy at the imperial decree, but this joy was short-lived. Their master remained unconscious, and the servants were on edge, not daring to relax for a moment.
At this moment, the two chief eunuchs, Su Peisheng and Gao Wuyong, no longer cared about their infighting. They joined forces to keep a close watch on Yinzhen, even personally overseeing the preparation of his daily medicine, leaving no stone unturned in preventing any potential danger.
Other curious princes and ministers couldn't very well visit at this time, so they turned to bother the Eighth Prince, Yinzhi, next door. After all, although he hadn't been granted a title, he had received many rewards from Kangxi, and everyone knew his role in the matter.
Yinzhi was constantly busy, carefully dealing with the probing from all sides, experiencing both pain and pleasure. Although it was difficult, he did come into contact with many people he had never had access to before.
【Huh, did I encounter a bug?】After dealing with the silly and sweet fanfiction creation system in Yinzhen's mind 555 and getting tired of the character role-playing system 556, he unconsciously glanced at his system interface and was surprised to find that his character score had actually increased.
No, it doesn't have a host now, so where did its character points come from? And why did they suddenly increase so much? Could there have been a problem when it was forcibly tied up?
The little pink dumpling suddenly bristled, and 556, thinking it was about to collapse, startled the chattering little cat next to it, making it jump three meters away.
【What...what's wrong with you?】555 tentatively stretched out a little foot, looking at the thick, low aura suddenly emanating from the pink dumpling, and was a little scared.
【555, I think I'm in trouble. Am I going to collapse? I heard that other systems disappeared like this...】 Looking at the little system that kept nagging in its ear, 556 was actually a little reluctant to part with it.
"What?!" The white kitten rushed over, circling the pink ball of fur, looking it over carefully, but finding nothing wrong. "You're not kidding, are you? Is the wild system really that fragile?"
[I'm not kidding, there's clearly no host anymore. But my character score on the board is still rising, rising faster than I can escape. What else could this be but a problem?] 556 lamented. If it were before, seeing its character score rise like this would have made it very happy.
But it doesn't have a host right now, isn't that a sign of impending death? If one thing goes wrong, maybe many unseen places will too, waaaaah, it's definitely going to die... It hasn't even become the big brother of 555 yet...
Seeing the little pink dumpling on the verge of tears, the kitten stomped its feet anxiously. "You...you don't cry, there's definitely a way...wait, weren't you bound to my host? How come you don't have a host?"
【Waaaaah... You don't understand... I'm not like you...】 The thought that even a naive and innocent system like 555 had a proper host agreement, while it had a subordinate agreement before it died, made 556 more and more upset, and it cried even louder.
[How come it's different? Aren't we from the same host?]
[Waaaaah...]
The little dumpling paused for a moment, then cried even louder, causing the clueless kitten beside her to jump around anxiously. Fortunately, Yinzhen appeared just in time.
"What's wrong?"
At this moment, the host's voice was like heavenly music. Upon hearing it, 555 felt as if she had found a savior and rushed towards Yinzhen's spiritual body, jumping into his arms and being held firmly by Yinzhen.
Yinzhen looked at the tearful little dumpling with some curiosity. He had been leisurely watching the play outside when he received the decree to be named "Prince Yong" and was wondering when it would be appropriate to wake up when he heard the noise in his mind.
"Master...Master, I'm going to die..." The little pink dumpling looked at the cold, wicked, and unfathomable man in front of her and felt inexplicably aggrieved.
[Host, please take a look at Xiao Liu quickly.] 555 was also anxious.
Yinzhen raised an eyebrow. It seemed the two little ones got along well. He stroked the cat's soft fur and asked curiously, "What's going on?"
My... my character score suddenly went up... even though I unbound it... there must be a bug, if there's a bug I'm going to die...
Hearing 556's broken, tearful reply, Yinzhen's eyes lit up as he caught a key point and pressed on, "Your character score is rising? When did it start?"
[I didn't notice before... Anyway, it's only been a short while, but it's been rising really fast when I checked just now... I've been linked to Rouze for three months and haven't seen this much, what else could it be but a bug...]
The more the little dumpling talked, the sadder she became, but Yinzhen found it more and more interesting. He had a vague guess in his mind, and with a thought, he activated the mental power bound to 556, and the character role-playing system page was displayed in front of him without reservation.
As expected… having confirmed the truth, Yinzhen smiled and said to 556, “Perhaps you can take a closer look at the character design page…”
"What are you looking at?" The little dumpling choked up, but the power of the Great Demon King was still there. It involuntarily listened to Yinzhen's words, carefully checked its own page again, and then stared in disbelief.
[This...this...how did you become my host again?]
"Smack!"
The kitten, having jumped off its host's arms, gave the pink ball of fluff a slap in annoyance. [What nonsense are you spouting? Isn't the host your host? Have you been infected with a virus? Are wild systems really this weak?]
【No…】556 hesitated for a while and didn’t say anything in the end, but it really didn’t expect that even though it signed a subordinate contract, how come the host of this world has become Yinzhen? So there must be a bug.
However, this is much smaller than the bug where character points increase out of nowhere. It's just that... according to the operating rules of the character role-playing system, only one character will be triggered in a world...
The little dumpling's face contorted in confusion as she stammered, "It's just...it's just that this character is supposed to be a 'pure, innocent' persona! Master, what did you do?"
How could the Great Demon King's cold face and intimidating personality possibly be related to a "white lotus" character? This is completely outrageous!
"A white lotus flower?" Yinzhen stroked his chin, pondering the meaning of the little world he had learned from 555.
Although he orchestrated the whole affair, outsiders were unaware of this and only saw him as unlucky and pitiful, thus gaining sympathy from many, including Emperor Kangxi. Does this fit the "pure and innocent" persona?
"Interesting, very interesting," Yinzhen smiled and said to the two systems, "From today onwards, Fourth Prince Yinzhen is the purest white lotus flower - come on, Sixth Prince, let me see what these points can be exchanged for?"
Although as the owner of the persona-playing system, Yinzhen could easily have used the in-game store for free, he chose not to. He wanted to pretend to be a simple host and redeem items using points.
Having seen through Yinzhen's twisted sense of humor and realizing she wouldn't die and would continue working under the Great Demon King, 556 obediently opened the shop. 【Okay, Master, do you want me to recommend something? What do you like? I'll find it for you.】
[Lackey...] 555 muttered angrily from the side. The cunning wild system pushed aside the fawning pink dumpling with its butt. The kitten lay on Yinzhen's feet, its fluffy little tail brushing against his trouser leg, its voice sweet enough to be sickening (Host is really amazing, I trust host the most...).
[Naive and innocent...] 556 rolled its eyes. This guy thinks he can be the boss? He'll be pushed down sooner or later. [Master, Master, do you like this halo? I can do a lot more...]
