Chapter 553 The Grand Finale
Time flies by, into the void.
Jiang Zhiyi is resting with her eyes closed.
【Owner! 】
Tuan Tuan's voice suddenly came out.
Jiang Zhiyi had only recently left the small world and hadn't quite recovered when she was startled by its commotion.
"What are you doing? You scared me! Pay up!"
She confidently extended her hand, ready to make a reasonable claim.
Tuantuan's soft voice carried a hint of grievance, mixed with obvious scheming.
[Master, I have no money. If you insist, then I can only compensate you with myself... From now on, I'll eat with you, wear your clothes, and live with you...]
"Stop—" Jiang Zhiyi interrupted it, stopping it from trying to cling to her.
She doesn't want it, it's too lazy...
Don't make your desire to take advantage too obvious.
Several times after the mission ended, it took a nice vacation, leaving her to fend for herself in the little world.
She'll never forget that grudge!
"All you do is slack off. I'm working so hard all by myself and you don't even care."
Jiang Zhiyi wasn't the type to keep her grievances to herself, so she immediately complained to it about how difficult things were for her.
Tuantuan could only shamelessly try to act cute towards her.
Master, I really care about you too. I always make sure you're alright before I leave. Heaven and earth can attest to my sincerity.
"You're talking nonsense!" Jiang Zhiyi's eyes widened.
She didn't believe his nonsense.
It's true, I'm not lying to you! And even if I'm not here, there's still...
Tuantuan realized she might have let something slip and immediately fell silent.
"what else?"
【nothing! 】
Jiang Zhiyi sensed something was wrong and knew that it was definitely hiding something from her.
"Fine, not only did you abandon me, but now you're keeping secrets from me. I'm never talking to you again..."
【Owner……】
Tuantuan felt somewhat helpless, hesitating whether or not to tell her the truth—that there had always been a vengeful spirit secretly protecting her, the villainous supporting character…
Just as it hesitated, a familiar mechanical sound rang out all around it.
It was sent by the superior system of the Transcendent Book Bureau.
"Detected that the core mission of this small world... has been completed, and the side missions... have been completed simultaneously. Overall score: 99 points, rating: excellent..."
These were all standard summary phrases, which Jiang Zhiyi had heard countless times. She yawned as she listened.
To be honest, sometimes she felt that wearing a bookstore to do pyramid schemes would be quite suitable for her.
The mechanical sound paused for a moment.
"Start the next small world quest?"
The virtual screen slowly unfolded, displaying a dense array of task options: ancient, modern, interstellar, fantasy, beast world...
The options for different mini-worlds are displayed on the screen.
Jiang Zhiyi blinked and yawned.
The constant travel to so many small worlds had left her somewhat exhausted.
She doesn't want to make a decision so soon.
"Let me rest for a while, and think about where to go next in the next few days..."
To be honest, she's gotten a little tired of it after so many times.
Moreover, she needs some time to process her memories and prepare for the next mission.
The light on the virtual screen gradually dimmed, tacitly acknowledging her words.
Jiang Zhiyi lay on the sofa in the room, closed her eyes, and prepared to take another nap.
Tuantuan didn't disturb her and quietly slipped away to the system repair area.
Jiang Zhiyi was half asleep, and many images of men floated through her mind, overlapping in one place...
They are clearly different people, but they seem to have something in common.
Of course, there's one more thing they have in common—bullying her!
snort.
Jiang Zhiyi was already quite delicate, and thinking about these things made her unhappy even in her dreams, and she suddenly felt like throwing a tantrum.
She frowned, wanting to reach out and slap away these disturbing memories.
A hand with distinct knuckles covered the back of her hand.
Soon, a gentle force came from her waist, stabilizing her slightly tilted body.
Jiang Zhiyi's eyelashes trembled, but she didn't wake up.
The man sat down beside her and carefully held the sleeping person in his arms.
He looked down at her, his eyes filled with unbelievable tenderness.
"Why is he not well-behaved even in his dreams?" the man muttered.
His hair fell across his forehead, his nose was high and straight, his lips were clearly defined, and his jawline was taut in a smooth arc.
If Jiang Zhiyi were awake at this moment, she would find his face very familiar, with the shadows of many people.
Whether she heard his words or was still dreaming, she muttered fiercely, "Don't bully me..."
The man chuckled softly, touched her face, and carefully adjusted her body into a more comfortable position, gently patting her back with his other hand.
"I'll stay by your side, go to sleep."
Before her consciousness completely sank into darkness, Jiang Zhiyi seemed to feel someone lean down and place a loving kiss on her forehead, then call her something, as if it were "baby".
Jiang Zhiyi hummed a few times.
I thought to myself: Of course, she is my precious darling!
I suddenly felt much happier and slept much better.
In the system's virtual space, the man quietly watched over her.
The hands of the clock on the wall kept turning, as if quietly counting down the days for this guardian that spans several small worlds.
[The End]
