At this moment, Xu Ling truly felt that she had been tricked by this seemingly foolish, but actually even more foolish, system.
Xu Ling struggled to suppress her anger, her voice filled with restraint: "Speak like a human being."
The reliable one said, looking aggrieved, "I'm speaking like a normal person. Just by looking at you, I can tell you haven't learned proper moral character!"
It speaks in a completely natural language; which word is incomprehensible to anyone?!
Seriously! They can't even learn it themselves, and they expect the system to take the blame.
Seeing that Xu Ling was about to glare at it again, it quickly revised the text to make it easier to understand.
"Wait a minute, I'll translate for you!"
[To jointly build a harmonious society and promote a positive social environment means fulfilling the responsibilities of the host's two divine positions.]
Xu Ling was still completely confused. What did that mean?
She remembered that her shrines were dedicated to the Goddess of Fertility and the Earth Goddess.
Upon further reflection, she understood what it meant.
Xu Ling couldn't help but widen her eyes.
So, she's come to this godforsaken place and has to act as a goddess of fertility and a local deity?!
Isn't that going too far?
This is all a magical world, what does it have to do with some Eastern goddess? Is she crazy?
If looks could kill, the reliable system would probably be torn to pieces by now.
The reliable one, hearing her inner question, ignored her resentment and admitted without hesitation: "Host, it's just as you think, fulfilling the duties of both the Goddess Songzi and the Earth Goddess. Simply put, one grants children, and the other cultivates the land!"
Xu Ling retorted, "Then what did you say about 'building a harmonious society and promoting a positive social atmosphere'? It's all just empty talk?"
Lacking confidence, he muttered under his breath, "Isn't this just official rhetoric?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Ling was furious and vigorously rubbed Baiyun's skin. No, she was going to be so angry!
"Oh dear, aren't you all like this? I'm a system, still a baby, I learned it all from you guys!"
"God, he learned that from them!" Xu Ling was even angrier. "They don't learn the good things, they only learn the bad ones." She hit them even harder.
Even though the white cloud was crumpled into a dry rag, it remained defiant, still trying to show off: "Host, what are you afraid of? Don't worry, I'm here! I'm super powerful!"
Xu Ling let go of his hand and glanced sideways at the reliable, all-powerful former male lead system: "All-powerful male lead system? It has everything?"
The unspoken meaning in his eyes: Do you have it?
"No, there isn't..."
"Aren't you the omnipotent male protagonist system?"
The reliable guy whispered, "But you're not the male lead either!"
Xu Ling: ······
Xu Ling was speechless. At this moment, reliability defeated her.
Holding her forehead, she began to accept reality: "Then what can you do?"
Baiyun replied cheerfully, "I can use the in-game store and the Happy Farm system!"
"Isn't this just farming?!" Xu Ling's hands trembled with anger, her voice rising. Nothing but farming! No, she still couldn't accept reality!
The white cloud fell silent, feeling that if it said another word, it might face destruction.
The atmosphere became tense, and only Xu Ling's heavy breathing could be heard.
Xu Ling exhaled, telling herself to calm down.
Calm down, calm down. She is a god, so don't be afraid.
Bai Yun secretly observed Xu Ling's face until it changed from ashen to slightly pale.
After a while, it cautiously spoke up: "Host, shall we begin now?"
After all, time is money, and we can't keep wasting money here.
Seemingly convincing herself at the last moment, Xu Ling accepted reality and asked the reliable system expressionlessly, "Where do I begin?"
Although Xu Ling didn't show any expression, the reliable system immediately cheered when it saw that she was still willing to talk to it, and its voice was full of energy.
"We are now in the barren lands of the entire continent."
Xu Ling turned to look at the desolate surroundings and nodded: "It is indeed quite barren."
The reliable person continued to offer advice: "Based on my analysis, the soil here is too poor, and nutrients are being lost in severe ways. If we plant rashly, the harvest will definitely be poor! They say that if you want to get rich, plant trees first, so our first priority is to choose a tree to plant!"
Xu Ling's lips twitched uncontrollably as she listened. She felt that the reliable system had said a lot, but none of it was useful.
If the land is bad, what's the point of planting trees?
However, at this moment, the reliable system opened Happy Farm.
Looking at the familiar interface before her, Xu Ling asked a thought-provoking question: "Isn't this just [name of a certain farm]?"
This interface and layout—isn't this the farm game she used to play for fun?!
"Yes!" the reliable system shamelessly admitted, "That's the one!"
"Isn't this plagiarism?"
Xu Ling watched coldly without saying a word, waiting to see how it would fabricate its story.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can it be plagiarism? It's borrowing!" The reliable system quickly changed the subject. "You wouldn't understand even if I explained! Let me see what I'm planting first!"
With that, it dismissed Xu Ling and ignored her, continuing to operate on its own.
Xu Ling was speechless. In this unfamiliar world, she still needed the help of a reliable system, so she stopped clinging to this idea.
The data flowed past the reliable system like a never-ending stream, and after a while, the data flow began to slow down and eventually stopped.
Xu Ling stared at Bai Yun for a few more seconds, as if deciding which tree to plant. Then, she happily floated to Bai Yun's side, went into the data screen to analyze the data for Xu Ling, and pointed to a section of data: "Host, look, plant this one. If you're going to plant something, plant the best one!"
Following the delicate white hand that appeared from the changing clouds, information about the best tree came into Xu Ling's view.
Name: Tree of Life
Rank: SS
Function: Legend has it that it can give birth to the elf race and is a sacred object of the elf race.
[Requires 5 million Faith Points or 50 million System Points]
In just a few simple lines, the best tree has been introduced.
Xu Ling pointed at the explanation from the functional department, her head full of question marks: "What does this function mean? How can this improve the soil quality?"
The reliable system leaned over to look at the place Xu Ling pointed out, and said dismissively, "SS-level beings are all like this. If their abilities are too powerful, they won't be able to explain things clearly."
It enthusiastically promoted it: "Anyway, I've calculated it, planting a Tree of Life is definitely the most cost-effective! Plus, it immediately improves the soil quality, and there are many more benefits afterward~"
Xu Ling remained unmoved, looking at the introduction without being tempted at all.
Her gaze moved downwards, and she saw the price listed below, gasping, "Do you think I can afford it?"
Looking at the price, he was even less concerned: "All SS-grade ones are like this, this price is really not expensive, it's great value for money!"
From its perspective, this price is practically free.
"I have no money!"
Where did she get 5 million faith points or 50 million system points? She's penniless right now and can only grow things that don't cost money!
Those three words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly silencing the reliable system.
Only then did it realize that the host had just been bound and hadn't done any tasks or accumulated any points, so it had nothing! Not a single penny!
What should we do? Suddenly, the reliable system was completely baffled.
