Chapter 12
The system is inherently rational.
The system is inherently calm.
It has no emotions.
It's very sensible.
03The light of the body floating in the air flickered, like a hypnotic symphony.
"I'm a senior commander. Senior commanders face problems bravely and cannot send error reports casually." 03 said in its cold mechanical voice.
The main system said everything was ok.
This is just the work pressure it will face after upgrading to an advanced system. If the task fails because it is not familiar with the task mode of the advanced system, it will only be a failure that leaves a strong mark in its long and perfect working career.
Mission failed.
Failed the assessment.
Well, failure, that's all.
“…”
03The mountain that I had stared at in a daze in the past seemed to be pressing down on its small body, with four matchsticks hanging down from its body. If there was wind to blow, they would be floating in the wind at this moment.
The light in its body gradually faded away, and the dark circles on its face shrank to the smallest size.
Ah, I want to be black.
"Bang."
The tightly closed door in front of him opened from the inside. Feng Jue put down his hand, looking at 03 with a bit of disgust, "What are you doing outside talking to yourself in the dark and bright? Are you angry with me because I locked you out?"
03 said calmly: "No, I won't lose my temper like the host, I don't-"
"That kind of feeling." Feng Jue continued impatiently, "So what do you want? It's too dark outside, so you want to hang yourself on the wall as a candlestick?"
“…”
Human language is profound and extensive. 03, who always communicates politely with his hosts, paused for a long moment before saying, "If the host needs it."
This time, it was Feng Jue's turn to remain silent.
She glanced at the ball of light outside the door in surprise, then changed her posture. She crossed her legs, supported her chin with one hand on the table, and made a pinky promise to 03 with the other hand.
03 slowly floats over.
"If I didn't know you a little bit, I would have thought you were sulking and answering like this on purpose." Feng Jue raised an eyebrow and tapped the table with his bare fingers.
03 floated to the place where her fingers tapped and nestled there.
Sulking?
No, it's not angry, 03 thought.
"Tell me, what's wrong?" Feng Jue asked.
03 then told Feng Jue about the inability to generate tasks, "Without tasks, there are no rewards. Without rewards, 03 cannot help the host improve his strength."
How to talk to the protagonist
How to fight back?
If this continues, then—
Mission failed.
A big circle appeared on Yintuan's face where his mouth was, like a human's mouth opened wide in shock.
Feng Jue burst out laughing, and even when 03 saw it, he didn't stop laughing. He said lazily, "You don't seem to really understand me yet. I am the princess of Lanyang Palace and the master of Lanyang City. I have countless treasures in my hands. Even without your reward, I am still the most outstanding cultivator of my generation."
The confidence in her narrowed eyes burned like fire, with a pride that looked down upon the world.
"Why do you need to give me a so-called reward?"
03Open the mall.
"Where's the ultimate infant transformation pill?"
Feng Jue paused in his proud smile, raised his chin, and said proudly, "The ingredients for the top-grade Infant Transformation Pill are hard to find, but with the financial resources of Lanyang Palace, we can certainly find them all. We can just hire an alchemist to refine it at a high price!"
03 Continue to flip: "What about the Chaos Sword Intent? It can comprehend the sword intent of the Ascended Sword Immortal."
The smile on Feng Jue's face faded a little, "I don't need a sword."
03: "Clone Puppet: You can summon three puppets with the same level of cultivation as you. They can die in your place in times of crisis. Each one can withstand a fatal blow from a powerful being one level higher than you."⑤
Feng Jue's smile disappeared.
"Ancient artifact fragments? After fusion, ordinary magic tools can be upgraded to top-grade ones. The Lingshan Cave is a cave that is a small world in itself, rich in spiritual energy. As the bound person's cultivation level increases, the cave will also be upgraded-"
Feng Jue suddenly raised his hand and covered the ball of light on the table.
"Level." 03 said, feeling that there was no need to continue.
Sure enough, Feng Jue said, "Shut up."
Feng Jue, who was holding Tong's hand, closed his eyes and took several deep breaths before saying, not knowing whether to tell her or Tong, "These things sound exciting, but getting them is definitely not as easy as you think."
"Yes." 03 affirmed that it really takes effort, just like it worked hard to accumulate so many points and reach the advanced level.
Feng Jue exhaled, retracted his hand, and snorted, "You are indeed here to help me."
"Help me to develop my inner demons."
03, who encountered a crisis at work and a crisis of trust, strongly rejected Feng Jue's evaluation.
"So, you are upset because of... this little thing?" Feng Jue asked with difficulty in a calm tone.
What do you mean by this? This is its job!
03: "I'm not lost."
You said no, but they all turned into fireflies.
Feng Jue held up her cheek and looked down at it, her beautiful face was
The laugh was her usual sneer tinged with sarcasm.
03It tries its best to express its ideas in human terms.
"03 Feeling..."
What does it feel like? 03The light on the body flickered, and after a moment, it said, "Nothing."
The flat tone makes it impossible to tell whether it is an affirmation or a question.
If it can't help the host complete the mission, then what is the purpose of it coming here? Without a mission, what should it do?
The life of a system is a framework. It acts in an orderly manner within the set framework. If it is suddenly thrown out of the framework, 03 will be at a loss.
"It's like going back to when I was born," said 03.
The first systems that were born had no goals and no direction. They floated silently in the colorful universe without talking to each other, like a speck of dust among the stars.
But at that time it did not have the sense of nothingness it has now, because there were other systems floating quietly with it.
Until you are pulled into the new world built by the main system, and accept the main system's orders to complete tasks in different worlds and different stories.
From then on, mission completion was etched into 03's code.
Its only job is to help the host change its destiny.
is the goal of the system.
It’s how the system survives.
Feng Jue held his chin with his index finger on his lips. After listening to what 03 said, he suddenly understood.
"I see."
03 Raised his head, he looked at Feng Jue expectantly.
Feng Jue raised his chin and said disdainfully, "You're too idle."
“?” A question mark appeared above 03’s head.
"Is it true that the only life for you leaders is work? Even cultivators have to travel around the world to gain experience in addition to cultivation. It's the same for mortals. Their lifespan is short, but there is always endless work to do. Let me ask you, what do you do in your spare time?" Feng Jue said.
03 said seriously: "I don't do anything except work."
Feng Jue was silent.
03 A light bulb lit up above his head, he clapped his hands and said, "I recently met a friend named Tong, and we'll chat if we meet again."
Friends also invite it to go shopping.
If that's all you have - then do nothing and wait to move on to the next mission.
The main system stipulates that one must rest for a month after each mission. 03 doesn't understand, but accepts it.
Phoenix Technique: "..."
She raised her hand and pointed out the window, ordering, "In that case, go to the side hall and keep an eye on Lingshi and the new maid."
"I had Siyi arrange for the woman with the same surname Xue who is next to Xue Bufan to go to Qihuang Peak to look after the Fire Rock Dragon. She used to be devoted to Xue Bufan, but now that she's in my Lanyang Palace, I wonder if she has second thoughts. You go and keep an eye on her."
"The side hall is quite close to me. There is nothing important happening in the palace these days, so I will go into the quiet room to practice. Apart from the man and the dragon in the side hall, you must also keep a close eye on any outsiders coming to Qihuang Peak!" Feng Jue instructed.
03The eye sockets that had shrunk into dots suddenly returned to their original size and floated up. "Okay, I understand."
"What about the mission?"
It also has the mission of changing the fate of the host.
Feng Jue said: "Keeping a close eye on them is part of the mission. If we find that woman is still connected to Xue Bufan, we can naturally deal with Xue Bufan."
I see.
03's dim light lit up again, and his IQ returned.
It opened the character panel and showed Feng Jue the information of one of them.
"Xue Mengtao, the new maid's name."
03 After diligently reminding Feng Jue of that woman's name, he flew towards the side hall like a meteor.
It came and went, and there was no movement in the hall, not even the wind disturbed it.
Feng Jue was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "What? You're obviously so happy."
"But," she said, a hint of regret slipping from her eyes. "If there were no rules and restrictions, and she had a physical form, and given her loyalty and the skills she possessed, if I could properly train her and use her, wouldn't she be a powerful sword capable of striking anything I pointed at her?... It's a shame that nothing in this world can be determined by the will of the heart, tsk."
Feng Jue lowered his eyes and cursed softly.
"Thief God."
The author has something to say
Work Log
The main system suggested that we actively communicate with the host during the meeting. I seem to understand.
Although the upgraded tasks are difficult and the sound codes are expensive, I still respect you, Master System.
Now I am going to do the task assigned by the host.
As for the tasks issued by the main system...
Let’s talk about it later.
