The cat sighed, "Since it's already planted, there's no way to take back the Tree of Life."
The facts are already set in stone, and there's no point in getting angry.
Let's think about how to minimize the harm.
“I can let bygones be bygones, and I can tell you the reason why,” Blue Cat stared at Kaofu with his big eyes, “but you have to promise me one thing.”
Looking at his serious-looking boss, the reliable system was a little scared and even stuttered a bit when speaking.
"What, what is it, boss?"
Blue Cat: "You can't let your host feed the Tree of Life with fairy power."
"Why?"
Kaopu was puzzled by this request. It was hoping to use Xu Ling's magic to help the sapling grow so that it could start the next task as soon as possible.
Thinking it was reliable, he said it aloud.
As expected, Blue Cat dealt a direct blow to this reliable system that was trying to take shortcuts.
Looking at his body, which had been torn to shreds by his boss, Kaopu couldn't help but cry.
"You shouldn't hit someone in the face, why do you keep hitting me?"
The white cloud, now even smaller than before, huddled around its remaining body, trembling.
It was just expressing its thoughts; was it really necessary to lecture it like that?
If you disagree, then you disagree!
What do you think?
Blue Cat is really disappointed in him. Why hasn't he learned his lesson yet?
The previous male protagonist almost died because of it.
If it weren't for the fact that the reliable person was too eager for quick success, either finding bugs to fix the prices in the shop for the male lead or prematurely consuming the opportunities the male lead hadn't yet obtained, thus forcing things to grow too fast, the mission wouldn't have failed in the end.
Now, somehow, this host has been taken advantage of.
As long as you're reliable and work diligently with your host to complete the mission, there's absolutely no pressure.
However, it resorted to the old tricks again. If Bluecat hadn't discovered it quickly and fixed it as soon as possible, the system that wouldn't listen to advice would probably have been destroyed long ago!
Blue Cat didn't want to waste any more words with the reliable system, so he could only warn it: "Just listen to what I'm saying. If you keep doing this, I can destroy you on the spot!"
To make a lasting impression, the blue cat raised its right paw, its gleaming claws flashing.
"You know what? Do as I say, and I'll tell you why; otherwise—"
Blue Cat didn't say the rest, but his right paw swiped out of thin air, and several cracks appeared in space instantly.
The consequences are self-evident. After all, the reliable person has already experienced it twice. Although the body is an illusion, the pain is real.
Those who understand the times are wise, and the reliable one nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, sir. Yes, sir."
Their fawning manner was simply unbearable to watch.
Seeing that it had given in, the blue cat didn't ask for anything else and directly told it the reason. After explaining, it tried to send it away.
"Alright, now you know why. Get out of here! You'd better remember what I said, or next time it won't be as simple as just getting some punishment!"
"Then I'll be going, boss."
Having learned the truth from his boss, the reliable man didn't want to stay any longer and quickly slipped away.
Completely unaware, the blue cat was muttering behind it.
"If it weren't for its small size, I would have made sure it learned the consequences of its actions!"
"Ah~ What to do about this bug fix? Looks like we'll have to stick to the old method."
"You wretched kid, my points! Meow!~"
The reliable one has no idea how much its boss has sacrificed to clean up its messes.
At this moment, it was proudly showing off its abilities to Xu Ling.
Xu Ling didn't say anything, but in her heart she was thinking, "Reliability is actually quite good!"
Now that the matter of the Tree of Life has been resolved, it's time to think about serious matters.
Her house, her smart toilet!
All of these require system points.
Thinking about this, Xu Ling felt a little worried. How exactly could she earn system points?
"That works! Tell me, what's a good way for me to earn points right now?"
"Let's do a mission!"
"What about the mission?" Xu Ling shot a death stare at Kaopu. "What about my mission?"
If she could, she would want to work on it right now.
The reliable creature was quite unhappy with Xu Ling looking at it like that, and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I not going to give you a task?"
It also wants to complete the task as soon as possible, okay?
"Look at yourself, what can you do now? You want to farm? Look at this land."
Kaopu stretched out his little hand and scooped up a handful of soil to show Xu Ling.
Unlike when it first arrived, which felt like sand and crumbled after being rubbed between the fingers, it's only slightly better than before, feeling a bit damp from being wet by rain.
Do you think it can survive?
Seeing the hand almost reaching her eyes, Xu Ling leaned back and casually slapped it, causing the dirt to scatter from Kaopu's hand.
"Okay, okay, but when will we have to wait?" Xu Ling asked, somewhat dejected. "We can't just do nothing and wait, can we?"
In the past, Xu Ling could find some amusement on her own, such as teasing those sentient beasts. In her previous life, she quite liked some of the little beasts; they could roll around and act cute, which was a good way to pass the time.
Here, Xu Ling felt even more melancholy. Apart from the reliable system, there wasn't a single living creature in sight. She wanted to pass the time, but there was nothing to do with it!
"Actually, there is still a mission."
Kaopu was somewhat hesitant and stammering; if it weren't for Xu Ling's listless appearance, it wouldn't have wanted to speak at all.
What is it?
Xu Ling's eyes lit up as she looked at Kaopu expectantly, her gaze urging it to speak quickly.
"Um, that..."
"What?"
Do you remember your other divine position?
Instead of stating the facts directly, he brought up other things.
Xu Ling was puzzled and didn't understand the meaning. She guessed, "The Goddess of Fertility?"
Previously, the conversation had focused on planting, and the reliable system had only mentioned the Earth Goddess, so she assumed that the Goddess of Fertility was useless in this world.
It requires devout prayer and is not a foolproof ability. In addition, the lesson she learned back then told her that the West does not believe in this kind of thing. Therefore, she thought that in this world, this ability was useless, neither worth keeping nor worth keeping.
However, now that "reliable" is mentioned, does that mean this divine position also needs to be created?
Kaopu nodded, confirming Xu Ling's guess.
"Do you still remember the overall mission? To build a harmonious society and promote positive social progress."
Seeing that Kaopu brought this up again, Xu Ling pouted. She remembered that Kaopu had said it was all empty talk and grandstanding.
"Why are you bringing this up?" She sensed something was off about the reliable person. "Didn't you say there was a mission? Why are you bringing up other things?"
Kaopu frankly admitted, "It's definitely related to the mission that I'm talking about this!"
