Leng Yue originally intended to use this time to spend with Ling and cultivate diligently. However, she wondered if Ling had been cooped up all the time, as Leng Yue felt that Ling's talkativeness had become even more severe.
Every ten minutes, Zero would come over and say, "Yueyue, I have something to tell you..." and then go on and on for ten minutes.
In other words, during this period, Zero basically never stopped talking.
"Ling, why do you have so much to say?" Leng Yue was about to collapse.
It's said that women speak 5,000 words a day, and men speak 3,000 words, only after saying all that will they feel like talking to themselves. But why doesn't anyone research how many words a system needs to say before it stops talking to itself?
Leng Yue thought that Ling might have been a person in his past life, and a celebrity at that. Not just any celebrity, but Tang Sanzang from "A Chinese Odyssey." It's likely that God couldn't stand it anymore and so He reincarnated him as a system.
But God didn't expect that even if Tang Sanzang became a system, he would be a talking system and could return to his peak of being a chatterbox!
"Yueyue, are you annoyed?" Ling suddenly felt wronged. "I haven't talked to you in a long time, I just want to have a proper talk with you, don't you think?"
"Uh... I was wrong, please continue." Leng Yue was helpless. Even if her system was a bit talkative, she still had to pamper it!
"You..." Zero was about to say something when a notification popped up in the notification bar. Zero opened it and saw, "The final result of the mission is here."
Leng Yue and Ling looked at it together and saw that it said:
The mission participant Chu Yu (U-level) became the regent, eliminated internal traitors, supported the right monarch, and achieved the mission of revitalizing the Great Qi. The reward directly entered the third tier, S-level.
The mission taker, Baili (U-level), became the Imperial Uncle but failed to complete the mission to become Emperor, thus his grand ambitions were thwarted. As a result of the mission failure, he was punished by being placed on probation.
The mission participant Wan'er (Level V) becomes Empress Dowager Feng, indirectly completing the mission of murdering the young emperor. The mission is approved, and the reward is upgraded to Level U.
The mission participant, Liu Fang (W-level), became a Qing Luan, but died before achieving his goal, resulting in mission failure and the punishment of being held back for observation.
Special mission participant Leng Yue (rank Y) became Zhao Dai. She persevered to the end of the mission and deserves to be commended as an important NPC. She is rewarded with an opportunity to take on an exceptional challenge. Please pay attention to the notification and choose to accept or decline.
"That's it?" Leng Yue stared wide-eyed, her eyes darting back and forth. "This is the so-called reward?"
Zero was also stunned, "Is it really okay for headquarters to be so stingy?"
"I thought there would be some high-end props?" Leng Yue looked at Ling with disappointment.
Zero nodded. "I thought you'd advance directly."
"We've been looking forward to this for so long, and it turns out it was just a challenge!" Leng Yue and Ling said in unison.
"Did your teacher mention anything like this?" Leng Yue asked after thinking for a moment. "Is this really a good thing? Isn't it just playing with people?"
Zero shook his head. "When did the teacher mention such details? Besides, it concerns headquarters. I guess it won't be taught in our school's updated textbooks."
Zero thought for a moment and added, "I guess even if I teach them, it won't be of much use. They might change their tactics again later."
Leng Yue nodded, "Very likely, but who knows if it's some kind of silly challenge mission?"
As soon as Leng Yue finished speaking, the taskbar lit up. "They're here already? Headquarters' been quick this time!"
As Leng Yue spoke, she brought up the mission: one person, one system, and the more she looked at it, the more alarmed she became.
"It's kind of scary, maybe we shouldn't participate?" Zero only glanced at the title and already didn't want to participate.
"But look, if I can pass this, I can directly enter the third level! Look, out of all the participants, my level was the lowest!" They say wealth can move people, and Leng Yue, seeing such a high reward, couldn't resist trying. "Besides, they also say there's a mystery gift pack if you do well. I want to try!"
Ling glanced at Leng Yue, "What if we can't pass?"
"It's okay if you don't pass. Just consider it another experience. Look, there's no mention of any punishment for failing here," Leng Yue said, showing the terms to Ling.
Ling still didn't want Leng Yue to go, "But... there's no such thing as a free lunch, Yueyue, what if there's a trap ahead?"
"How can you say that? I worked so hard to get this opportunity, how can you call it a trap? Zero, aren't you overthinking it? Don't worry, what do I have that they would want to fool me for!" Leng Yue was incredibly straightforward. "If I can do it, I'll do it; if I can't, I'll admit defeat and back out early. Don't worry!"
Ling was about to say something when Leng Yue glanced at the time on the screen. "Oh no, oh no, we have to agree quickly, there are only two seconds left!"
As Leng Yue spoke, she clicked the 'Accept' button. Ling couldn't stop her at all, "Yueyue, you..."
As soon as the 'Accept' button was clicked, a new, large, red countdown appeared above: 10, 9, 8... 1, 0...
As Leng Yue watched the number above turn to 0, she was still wondering why it was red, feeling like a ticking time bomb. Before this thought could even fade, Leng Yue vanished from the space.
Zero tried to track Leng Yue, but found that he couldn't track her at all.
"Oh no, oh no, this is going to break! What should I do? What should I do?" Zero flew around anxiously, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally connected with Xiao Mei.
The other party answered quickly, and a cute little girl appeared on the screen, saying, "Hello, Zero."
"Xiao Mei, you've changed your look again, you're so cute!" Ling looked at Xiao Mei with a smile, instantly forgetting the purpose of finding Xiao Mei.
"Yes, yes, isn't it beautiful?" Xiao Mei happily spun around in front of the screen after hearing Ling's praise. Xiao Mei was wearing a pink dress and had a three-headed figure, looking like a cute little butterfly.
"You look beautiful, you look beautiful no matter what!" Zero's eyes were practically sparkling.
"My master chose it, and he said it looks good." Xiao Mei looked shy when she mentioned her host.
Zero nodded in agreement, and upon hearing Xiaomei mention her master, she suddenly thought of Leng Yue. "By the way, Xiaomei, you know..."
Ling recounted Leng Yue's acceptance of the challenge to Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei listened attentively, but finally looked troubled. "Ling, I'm sorry, I don't know anything about this situation. How about this, I'll go ask Master! Master is in the study, I'll be right back..."
"..." Before Zero could speak, Xiao Mei took small, quick steps and ran off to find her host.
When Xiaomei arrived, she wasn't alone. She was being held by a very tall man; anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was his daughter.
The man was very handsome, with white hair and a black suit, and his delicate features made him just the right amount of good-looking.
Zero was stunned; it was the first time it had ever seen someone so good-looking.
"You're Meimei's friend? You're so ugly!" The man's first words shattered Zero's heart into pieces.
"Um..." Zero wanted to say something.
"Your master is truly courting death. Any challenge to the world is a recipe for disaster. You'll be an orphan system!" The man hung up after saying that. In the instant the screen went black, Zero seemed to see Xiao Mei's apologetic eyes.
However, none of that mattered anymore. Zero's mind was already completely consumed by the words "Orphan System"...
