"Hiss—" Gu Qingqiu felt as if her soul was being torn apart, and the pain was unbearable until she heard the familiar system voice.
Male Protagonist System: [Welcome back, Host.]
Hearing the system's voice felt like stepping into another world for Gu Qingqiu, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
Gu Qingqiu: [Wa ...
Male protagonist system: [Host, it really is me. You are now back at the standby space station. Don't be afraid, everything is over.]
Gu Qingqiu: [...I'm still a little disoriented, you know, System? Death really is just a matter of a moment. I thought I could still say a word to Chu Yunhan, but really... the instant that dagger was pulled from my body, I... I died!]
Male Protagonist System: [Host's emotions are fluctuating too much. Would you like to use a Forget-Me-Not Grass?]
Gu Qingqiu: [Use it! Use it now! ...Wait! Where did I get this Forget-Me-Not herb? Are you going to deduct my gold coins and force me to buy it?]
Male Protagonist System: [No, host, we are civilized systems, we would never force anyone to buy or sell.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Where did this forget-me-not come from?]
Male Protagonist System: [The Main God System will give each host returning from a punishment world a Forget-Me-Not Herb to prevent emotional and mental problems from affecting their missions in the next world.]
Gu Qingqiu: [...Should I praise the Main God System for being so considerate?]
A cool sensation swept over Gu Qingqiu's body, calming her racing heartbeat.
Male Protagonist System: [Actually, this wasn't originally intended as a gift, but the probability of hosts returning from punishment worlds going insane was simply too high, so the Main God System had no choice but to implement this rule.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Now that you mention it, I'm actually a little curious.]
Male Protagonist System: [Being curious about everything will only harm the host! For example... a host who ate the corpses of two dead teammates to survive after being sent to a post-apocalyptic instance; a host who was forced to mate with a cockroach-like insectoid race in an interstellar world; and another example...]
Gu Qingqiu: [Stop, stop, stop! Don't say anymore! I feel like throwing up!]
Male Protagonist System: [As is customary, I'd like to inform the host of the settlement results for the punishment world. World Difficulty: x (Punishment world currently has no rating), Settlement Gold: 0, Settlement Life Points: 0 days. Please confirm.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Thanks, I feel humiliated. By the way, what's my experience bar progress?]
Male Protagonist System: [Host, I didn't expect you to have filled your experience bar in the punishment world.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Huh? You actually maxed it out? Aren't there any rewards?]
Male Protagonist System: [After all, it's a punishment world... But I've already submitted a reward application for the host, let's see if the God System will approve it.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Thank you. My current feeling is that slacking off is shameful! I've never loved my work this much before! I swear! In the next world, I will definitely correct my work attitude, actively cooperate with the organization's arrangements, obey the organization's commands, and prioritize getting close to the male lead above all else.]
Male protagonist system: [...It seems this trip to the punishment world wasn't a waste of time; it's good that the host realizes that.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Phew—how much longer can I stay on the standby space station?]
Male Protagonist System: [Twenty-seven minutes left. Would you like to check the system shop, Host?]
Gu Qingqiu: [Didn't I look at it before? The main problem is I don't know what I need to buy... I can't afford anything too expensive...]
Male Protagonist System: [During the punishment world, the Main God System has upgraded and adjusted the system shop. You can now purchase items during missions.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Really? Does that mean I can buy painkillers and poison now?]
Male Protagonist System: [Yes, and also the sleeping pills, anesthetics, and disposable trackers I mentioned before. To ensure a smooth purchasing process when needed, the host can check what's in the store first.]
Gu Qingqiu studied the system shop for a long time with great anticipation, then declared firmly, "System, don't worry! I will definitely live up to your expectations and complete the mission in the next world."
Set off--!
