"You have a total of 129,000 points. I recommend you deposit them in a bank run by a senior expert; the interest rate is quite good."
"How much kickback did you take?"
The system's light cluster turned red, and some people tried to argue that what they meant by "taking kickbacks" was clearly just an exchange of personal connections and resources.
This was met with a crisp laugh from the host.
"As for the props, there are fertility pills, bloodline potions, love charms, love potions, love potion wine... oh well, whatever, there are quite a lot of miscellaneous stuff."
As the system spoke, its voice grew louder and louder, as if it wanted to roll on the ground to express its excitement.
As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and the more outrageous the moves, the greater the damage dealt!
Ling Xiao crossed her legs and said arrogantly:
"Little system, follow me and you'll get your share of the profits, understand?"
Thinking to myself, the system has been blinded by sweet words and tricks. Everyone is in cahoots, so what's there to be afraid of reporting?
Take out the jade ball and apply gentle force; with a snap, the jade ball cracked open with several fissures.
A warm light drifted out.
Wandering wildly, from top to bottom, it cried out, "I'm out! I've finally been released by the monster... host!"
She lunged into Ling Xiao's arms, a far cry from her earlier fierce demeanor as she threatened to report her. She lowered her head meekly and said:
"Host, regardless of whether you were once a messenger of the Abyss God or a corpse collector on the Demon Battlefield, I will acknowledge you as my host from now on."
His words were full of bravado, but the ball of light was suddenly gripped tightly by a pair of slender hands, and a deep voice came from behind:
"What evil god? What corpse collector? What are you thinking?"
Ling Xiao thought that at most, her former company went bankrupt, and she was just concealing her work experience to find new employment.
She felt wronged; she was already protecting her, yet the system was still bullying her.
"Host, once people in other places develop feelings for you, even to the point of being 'conquered,' then we'll leave, shall we?"
The system was somewhat moved; it too had weathered many storms, but it had never experienced a world so thrilling.
I feel a little reluctant to part with it.
"Of course not," Ling Xiao retorted crisply.
She leaned leisurely against the soft pillows lined with the finest silk, stroking her seemingly thin fingernails as she coldly said:
"Don't you know human nature?"
A mocking and cold voice rang out: "Ungrateful, shallow and ignorant, easily forgetful, fond of conspiracies, a thoroughly cold-blooded creature."
Seeing that the system was stunned, Ling Xiao continued:
"So even though I've done so much now, the gratitude and faith I receive later will evaporate faster than the thin snow under the scorching sun."
"Then... what should we do?" the system asked blankly.
"Unfortunately, I'm currently... unable to accomplish anything significant."
Ling Xiao stroked his fingernails, which had once contained endless toxins, and sighed. He knew that faith in God had reached its peak during the Black Death.
"Then only by giving them something indelible, unforgettable, and even rooted in history can we guarantee that they will continue to earn points even after I leave this world."
The girl's words revealed an immense arrogance and ambition.
Almost no new host ever sets their sights on the distant future after achieving great success in their first mission.
They even shamelessly declared that they would continue to fleece the world after they leave it.
The system was utterly shocked and, faced with its host's ambitions, completely transformed into Ling Xiao's appearance.
What benefits would achieve this effect?
"Bingo" Ling Xiao snapped his fingers, "That mysterious Shennong bloodline is right there, and the Druid's Tear we spent so many points to buy, haven't you guessed it yet?"
"Is it grain?"
"That's right, I've said it before, food is the most important thing for the people. At this time, the people believe most strongly that whoever provides the milk is their mother. I, the goddess, have given them such great benefits, so at least they should be worshipped generation after generation, forever."
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes, hugged the system orb, and said in an intimate yet eerie tone.
The system thought to itself, "If the people of this world fail to do this, the host might hold a grudge and come back to make them suffer a pain they'll never forget once they have the ability!"
Before Ling Xiao could start causing trouble, someone else approached her first.
The emperor sent someone to invite the goddess to meet him.
The Grand Eunuch Yan Pei cautiously began, "Only when the Princess of Chu came to lodge a complaint did His Majesty learn of the serious trouble that has befallen the Shennong bloodline."
"What's the big deal?" Ling Xiao asked curiously, wondering how they could find the connection to her.
"Alas, it is quite shameful to say, but His Majesty is very uneasy," Yan Pei said, slightly raising his eyes to observe the goddess's expression.
Sensing some impatience, I'll cut to the chase: "The Taoists and Buddhists entered the capital, and somehow the two groups started fighting."
Nonsense. Yan Pei certainly knows why they need to fight. Two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female.
Buddhism and Taoism are natural enemies, constantly fighting each other. Your Majesty used the goddess to ward them off, but how easy is it for you to grasp people's hearts?
Not to mention that both sects have very deep foundations, and the reasons for today's events are still uncertain.
Sure enough, a major incident occurred, and His Majesty had no choice but to send the goddess to intervene.
"The eldest princess of Chu happened to drag that person along to join the fun, and as they talked, the two families started fighting. In the chaos, the man of Shennong's bloodline was injured by falling debris."
"If you're injured, go see the imperial physician. Why do you have to bother me with every Tom, Dick, and Harry?"
The goddess snorted coldly, then her expression suddenly changed, her gaze shooting towards Yan Pei like lightning, her tone chilling:
"How dare they touch the person I need to undergo tribulation?"
The system was utterly impressed by the host's ability to write a script on the fly, depending on the situation.
With that kind of talent and ability, she'd be a screenwriter and her shows would be a ratings smash hit!
