Chapter 103
November 1st 00:02.
After realizing that she was back, Song Yue immediately got out of bed and gently knocked on her parents' door.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Immediately, the sounds of someone getting up and putting on slippers could be heard from the inner room: "Hey, Xiaoyue is back!~"
Song Yue's throat felt a little dry: "Don't get out of bed, both of you. Go to sleep quickly."
Just as she finished speaking, she saw the door hurriedly opened, and Lin Xiaojuan and Song Tianyuan, both wrapped in outer clothes, stood in front of her, the joy on their faces was self-evident.
“It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back~”
Lin Xiaojuan took her hand and squeezed it hard, making sure that she was really fine. Only then did she feel relieved and went back to the house.
The next morning, Song Yue yawned as she walked out of the bedroom. Just as she was about to go to the bathroom to wash up, she caught a glimpse of 099 sitting on the sofa in her living room!
Seeing her disheveled appearance, 099 still greeted her with a smile!
Song Yue blinked and rushed forward: "Why are you here?!"
099 groaned, sounding rather aggrieved: "Shouldn't I be here?"
Just then, Lin Xiaojuan came out of the bathroom and saw Song Yue with her hands on her hips, scolding 099. She glared at her and pushed Song Yue away: "Look at how you talk! Why can't Xiaojiu come to our house anymore?"
Song Yue:?
Come again?
Out of consideration for Lin Xiaojuan, Song Yue couldn't get angry, so she had to put on a smile and said "yes, yes, yes" repeatedly.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaojuan went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Song Yue immediately turned around and glared at 099 fiercely: "Little White Flower, if you keep pretending, I won't be polite to you."
Out of Lin Xiaojuan's sight, 099 raised his chin: "You can't touch me, Xiaoyue~"
Yo, look at this tone, I can give you~
Song Yue raised his eyebrows and suddenly chopped down with a knife!
Her move was so unexpected that 099 definitely couldn't react.
Song Yue was guessing in her heart, but the next second, the person on the sofa stood up and held her wrist with his slender hand.
The person holding her looked at her proudly, showing his eight big white teeth: "Hey, I said you can't hit me~"
Maybe it was because 099 was a system and his body temperature was not high, but Song Yue could clearly feel that there was a chill in the palm of his hand holding hers.
However, this coolness was not biting, nor was it uncomfortable. Instead, it felt like being wrapped in a piece of fine jade, warm and solid.
She pulled her hand back and curled her lips deliberately: "Good reaction."
Generally speaking, when 099 hears praise, he is usually so happy that he wags the invisible tail behind his butt. Surprisingly, he didn't react at all this time.
099 just stood in front of her, his brows lowered, his tone suddenly becoming a little strange: "I am a system. My numerical values in all aspects are not comparable to those of ordinary humans. Xiaoyue, you are already very powerful. If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to handle that move just now. So you have to believe in yourself. You will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future."
It was clearly a compliment to her, but Song Yue didn't feel it was right.
It's like... a parting instruction?
She raised her head and looked at 099: "Did something happen over there?"
That side, of course, refers to the main system.
099 blinked, and his tone instantly returned to a cheerful tone: "Something happened? What could happen to me? As long as you are fine, nothing will happen to me~"
Song Yue looked at him suspiciously for a few more times, then temporarily put her suspicions behind her.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." She glanced at Lin Xiaojuan who was busy in the kitchen, then at Song Tianyuan who had just come out of the bedroom, and finally her eyes fell on him solemnly, "Have you forgotten, in the last promotion copy, I told you that I would fulfill your wish to live?"
Today, 099 is more than just a system in her mind.
He has flesh and blood, and emotions.
He would cry, laugh, and even break into the dungeon to stay by my side because he was worried about me.
After going through so many copies, Song Yue realized that 099 had unknowingly integrated into his own world.
She didn't want anything to happen to him, she wanted him to live according to his own will.
Listening to her words and looking at her face, this was the second time 099 felt something plop inside the empty shell.
He froze in place, his expression a little dazed, but he quickly regained his composure, grinning broadly and saying, "Don't worry, Xiaoyue, I know you remembered my wish. I'm so touched!"
Seeing his playful smile, Song Yue felt relieved: "Please find some TV shows to watch. I'll go to the space."
099 looked towards the refrigerator in the kitchen. "Isn't there enough breakfast? It's okay. I don't need to eat."
Song Yue raised her eyebrows: "If you say you don't want to eat, will my mother agree?"
Her mother is really fond of 099 now~
099 let out an "ah" and felt very embarrassed.
Seeing 099 was serious, Song Yue smiled and joked, "Oh, there's still some in the refrigerator. I was just teasing you. I went to get the coffee, the one that sells the best in M City."
"Oh~~ Sopek coffee!" 099 suddenly realized and remembered that she had gone to the wholesale market to buy 10 boxes.
Song Yue: "Yes, that's it."
Lin Xiaojuan finished making breakfast, and Song Tianyuan just finished folding the quilt and left the bedroom.
Seeing four cups of coffee brewing on the table, they both exclaimed, "You're still stockpiling this?"
Song Yue: "Yes, I drank it in the last dungeon. I thought it tasted good, so I bought 10 boxes."
10 boxes was definitely a wasteful number for Lin Xiaojuan and Song Tianyuan in the past.
But now, knowing that supplies will be in short supply due to natural disasters, it is easier to stock up more than less of anything.
Therefore, the two of them did not have any special reaction to the 10 boxes mentioned by Song Yue. They just nodded and said "OK".
Looking at the brewed coffee and smelling the aroma wafting from the cup, 099 couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that the milky flavor is still the best. I really can't drink American coffee at all."
Song Yue was peeling an egg for him when she heard the sound and her fingers suddenly stopped. "What did you say you couldn't drink it?"
099 blinked, confused: "...I, I just said...American..."
Seeing her staring at him for a long time without any response, he was full of suspicion: "...What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Song Yue shook her head: "You haven't even had American coffee, how do you know your preference?"
099 blinked and stood there in a daze.
That’s right, he has never had American coffee in real life, so why does he feel he can’t drink it?
Oh, no, let alone American coffee, he has never tried other flavors of coffee.
He is a system and exists in the mind of the tasker most of the time. And in situations like today when he ran away, he is sure that he will only appear when Xiaoyue is there.
So here comes the question.
Today was the first time Xiaoyue made coffee for him. How did he come to the conclusion just now?
An indescribable feeling of horror suddenly ran through my body!
Song Yue and 099 were both absent-minded during breakfast.
After helping Lin Xiaojuan quickly clean up the mess, Song Yue pulled 099 into the bedroom.
Bang, the door closed, and she stared at him seriously: "Think about it carefully. Before me, did the last tasker you were bound to make you come out to eat in a shell like I did?"
099 immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No! I swear, absolutely not!"
"My tasker only went through the novice dungeon once, and then his mentality collapsed and he was eliminated. I definitely remember this correctly!"
"Xiao Yue, you know what the novice dungeon is like. Both me and the tasker are still in the running-in stage. I will never rashly appear in front of her."
"And, and..."
At this point, 099's voice suddenly weakened.
"It takes a lot of my energy to exchange for a human shell. She...is not worth it."
Although it is unprofessional for a system to say such biased words, this is his truest feeling and it is not false at all.
Unexpectedly, Song Yue grasped another key point after listening: "You didn't seem to tell me that exchanging shells will consume energy?"
099 instantly felt guilty, his eyes darting around. "Oh, oh, that's not important... I'll collect the energy and other things quickly... Seriously, I wasn't kidding! Xiaoyue, every time you pass a dungeon, I get some energy rewards. I've already collected them all, so don't worry~"
Oh!
Don't worry about a damn thing!
Song Yue was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but when she realized that this wasn't the point of the question, she took a deep breath and summarized the facts 099 had just stated: "In other words, you've never had American coffee, but you clearly know that you don't like it."
099 nodded vigorously: "That's right!"
Song Yue's eyes flickered, and suddenly, she turned around, picked up a pen, and wrote a sentence on a blank piece of paper.
——"I suspect your memory has been modified."
After thinking for a while, he added another line of words under 099's extremely shocked look.
——"Or maybe you once had other memories, but someone deliberately erased them."
