Chapter 4
Phoenix Technique: "..."
"You mean, in order to avoid Xue Bufan, I have to find someone to marry?" Feng Jue felt that the topic was starting to get ridiculous.
"In terms of purpose, this is the case." 03's mechanical voice was very calm.
"Get married and have children before the male protagonist goes on a killing spree. In my experience, in previous Long Aotian stories, no supporting character has ever gotten married and had children within a year of breaking off their engagement with Long Aotian."
03 analyzed that this method seems to be very economical, and it doesn’t even require too many cheat codes. All you need to do is find a suitable object!
If we just do this, it would be a pity that the mission will end so quickly.
03Looking at Feng Jue's charming and beautiful face, silver light flashed around her.
But after it made the proposal, the host remained silent, and a question mark appeared above 03's head.
Is this suggestion not okay too?
Feng Jue flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, disappearing in a streak of light.
? ?
03 He wandered around the deserted hilltop in a daze, flew out before the warning popped up, and finally found Feng Jue walking quickly in the corridor of a palace.
It chased after him and followed behind Feng Jue.
"Do you have any questions?" 03 humbly asked the host for advice.
Feng Jue sneered.
The sky darkened unnoticed, and the palace lanterns on both sides of the corridor lit up, moving through the hall like a long dragon. The light of the pearl fell on Feng Jue, and the phoenix pattern on his sleeves seemed to come alive as he walked. His phoenix eyes were sharp, just like Feng Jue's anger at that moment.
03 followed Feng Jue all the way into the palace. This seemed to be Feng Jue's bedroom, even more luxurious than the main hall outside, with exquisite details and a dazzling array of treasures. However, there was no servant in sight. Feng Jue lay on the couch, holding up his head and glaring at 03 coldly.
What's wrong?
03 is spinning in circles, and judging from the vase next to it that reflects a person's reflection, it is still the same 03, and the color has not changed.
"03, let me ask you." Feng Jue hooked his finger.
03 floated over and landed on Feng Jue’s fingertips.
Feng Jue, who originally just wanted it to come closer, paused, raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much, holding this ball of light that had no temperature, no weight, and even no substance.
She asked: "Since you said that this world is a book, and Xue Bufan and I are both characters in the book, and you also said the so-called Long Aotian plot wants me to change my fate, then why don't you tell me the original plot of this world, and how I love-"
Feng Jue's face darkened a little when he said this, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "How did I fall in love with Xue Bufan?"
If you know this, there's no need to worry about it. Just make a choice that goes against the plot.
03A flat, mechanical voice explained: "It's my fault."
"The higher the system level, the more vague and general the information provided at the beginning of the mission. After the recent upgrade, I am now the highest-level system with the most authority under the main system, and the mission information is even less. But please rest assured, host, as long as you cooperate, I will collect relevant plot information during the mission and provide you with the best mission plan based on past experience."
03 said: "The host's choice is 03's choice, the host's mission is 03's mission, 03 will wholeheartedly help the host!"
After it explained, Feng Jue's brows were still furrowed. She would not easily trust such a strange guy with unknown origins.
"What are the benefits of doing this?" Feng Jue asked.
Of course there are many benefits. The arrival of the system changes the fate of the characters and generates huge energy. This energy is the fuel for the operation of the system world. Each system that completes the task will gain points. Points are the currency of the system world and the energy for the system to upgrade.
03-level high tasks are more difficult, but correspondingly, the points earned after completing the tasks are also the highest!
After its explanation, Feng Jue understood. If 03 said that there was no benefit in concentrating on her, Feng Jue would never believe it. But if there was a benefit or interest driving 03's words, Feng Jue would be more convinced.
"I see." Feng Jue nodded and continued to ask with interest, "Then who is the main system?"
03 answered her questions very patiently. In its opinion, this behavior can deepen the trust between each other.
"The main system is the most respected system of all systems. It is the one that builds the rules, and all systems work under the rules. It is a very outstanding, perfect, and powerful system!" Bubbles appeared above 03's head, and a golden thumbs-up lit up in the bubbles.
Phoenix Technique: "..."
What is this?
After a pause, she continued, "It seems you hold it in high regard. Yes, I admire loyal people."
Feng Jue finished speaking slowly and smiled at 03.
The thumbs-up in the bubble immediately turned into ^.^
Feng Jue's smile changed, and the topic suddenly changed. "So you like the main system, you love it?"
03The expression on the top of the head disappeared instantly.
It was stunned and said, "Why does 03 love the main system?"
"Why don't you like it? In your mind, isn't the system you mentioned very powerful, perfect and strong?" Feng Jue said.
“All systems respect the master system.
"It's a system, but it's not what humans call love or liking. We don't have those kinds of emotions." 03 said, then paused. Something in its data stream rippled, then vanished in an instant, impossible to find.
03 said: "The system is made up of data. We can only understand human emotions, but we cannot express them. The host can imagine the system and humans as numbers and words. Words can express joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, but numbers will always be numbers."
Because there are no numbers in this world, 03 specially displayed ten numbers above his head one by one to show Feng Jue.
"0, 3, 03, this is my code name, which is equivalent to the name you call me." said 03.
"So that's how it is." Feng Jue said slowly, with a light in her eyes. She learned the numbers from 03 with interest. She was born smart and memorized them all in one go. She stood up, holding 03 and walked to the study, grinding ink and picking up a pen.
"It's customary to reciprocate and adapt to local customs. Since you've taught me the numbers from your world, why don't I give you a name using the characters from this world?" Feng Jue asked. Naming is something that happens between relatives and teachers, and between masters and servants. She did this to test 03's reaction.
"Okay, host, do whatever you want." 03 said without any hesitation.
Feng Jue was stunned for a moment, and when she saw 03 agreed immediately, she became serious. She thought for a moment and then put her calligraphy on the paper.
"All things have spirits. You are so intelligent, so you should be called Ling. And 3..." Feng Jue hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "You move the mist and walk slowly, and the sound of your feet brushing against the steps is like a rustling sound. So, let's discard 3 and choose Shan. Your name will be Lingshan."
It is said that handwriting reflects the writer's character. The two characters written on the rice paper with a flowing brush have a sharp edge that is inconsistent with the glowing circle.
03 Pull out the file of the mission world, pinch its image and fill it into the photo, then scan the name written by Feng Jue himself and put it in the name.
Lingshan.
03Looking at the name in the information, bubbles above my head rose and disappeared.
"Lingshan, 03. Although the pronunciation of shan is slightly different from 3, the word shan, which means coral, implies precious things and is also suitable for women—" Feng Jue suddenly paused and asked hesitantly, "Speaking of which, are you a woman?"
The mechanical sound of 03 sounds a bit "complicated" and the gender cannot be discerned at all.
The silver system floating above the rice paper said seriously, "I will be that person from now on."
Feng Jue raised her eyebrows. Although she still had doubts about 03, she was very satisfied with its attitude of believing whatever it said. No matter what its purpose was, she was very pleased with its obedience and understanding. Moreover, she now had the intention of naming 03.
"Then I will call you Lingshan from now on." Feng Jue called out, "Weren't you a woman before?"
03 Answer honestly: "I don't have a gender, just like words. Humans don't define gender for words."
Phoenix Technique: "..."
She rolled her eyes, dropped the brush, and carried 03 back to the couch. She said naturally, "Now that you have a human name, a human gender, and can also try human emotions, why not try to like the main system?"
The topic returned to the previous one.
03 asked in shock and confusion: "Why does the host insist on making me like the main system?"
Feng Jue smiled coldly and said, "Is it not possible?"
"Don't you want me to find someone to fall in love with quickly, marry him, and have children?"
03 spun around in Feng Jue's palm, then stood still and said, "Is making me like the main system the same as making the host like other people?"
The system does not have an emotional system, but humans are born with rich emotions, and the concept of love at first sight exists in the human dictionary.
Feng Jue looked at 03 and deliberately asked in a questioning tone, "You clearly don't like me and have no extra feelings for me, but you still want me to marry and have children with a stranger. What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person who just does things casually?"
03No heart.
In a physical sense.
Tong stopped at Feng Jue's palm without a heart, thinking that the host wanted to express this meaning. Human language skills are profound and require Tong to continue learning.
Feng Jue looked a little proud, and the corners of his naturally upturned eyes became even more arched.
Beside the couch stood a lampstand in the shape of a phoenix, with gemstones, agates, jade, and cat's eyes inlaid on the phoenix. The phoenix held a pearl in its mouth, casting a brilliant light that made the phoenix's body radiant and colorful. The light was reflected on the person in the couch, making her eyes shine brighter than gemstones, as if reflected by the rosy clouds and jade, and her eyes looked around with a spirit.
Among the colorful and mottled ones, it is hard to tell which one is more breathtaking.
Feng Jue stared at 03 with a half-smile, seemingly admiring 03's speechlessness, even though his mouth could not be seen in the ball of light.
She asked, "How, do you know you are wrong?"
03's heart, in a non-physical sense, popped up a warning. Telling a system that there was an error was like the sky falling down in the human world! His body shimmered with silver light. Under Feng Jue's surprised gaze, 03 calmly said, "The host said he would not marry or have children with strangers."
Feng Jue nodded.
03 Pull out the panel and create a painting with a "swish".
In the picture, Feng Jue and Siyi are sitting opposite each other in Wangshan Pavilion. Feng Jue has an expression of disgust, and a bubble next to him reads "I have seen both sides of Xue Bufan, so what kind of feelings can there be?"
Phoenix Technique: "..."
I suddenly remembered that she did say that. I didn't expect that 03 had remembered it.
03 held the words in his hand and spoke slowly in a flat, mechanical voice, "The host and Xue Bufan have only met twice and have no feelings for each other, yet they still got engaged. If Xue Bufan's spiritual roots hadn't been destroyed, would the host and he have been able to get married smoothly?"
The four words "no emotion" were deliberately emphasized by Tong, and they sounded particularly harsh in Feng Jue's ears.
Phoenix Secret: “…………”
She sat up suddenly and said unyieldingly, "This is the order of our elders, not my wish!"
03I understand.
It humbly seeks advice.
"Host, if you still have any elders alive, why not ask them to come out again? After all, you've failed once before, so you'll definitely succeed this time!" 03 said, his head lighting up with colorful lights. Tong encouraged him, "I'm rooting for you, Host!"
The lights were so colorful, but they made Feng Jue's face look particularly dark. The host, who had just met him, raised his hand and threw 03 out of the window.
"Get out of here!"
The author has something to say
End of work log
The host gave me a name. Although I don't understand the significance of this, I accept anything that helps the work proceed.
But the host wants to kick me out.
The first time, it was a bit novel.

(Holding the megaphone) (Very loud) Guys! Let me see your paws! (Ooooh!)
① I walk slowly through the mist, the sound of my feet brushing against the steps.
