"My taskbar is full. The programmer set a limit of ten tasks. Only after completing a task and leaving the small world can one task be freed up." The system sobbed, as if it were really wiping away tears.
Seeing that Hua Cai didn't react, the white dumpling flinched nervously: "I used to be so bored that I read a lot of novels, and in a moment of impulsiveness, I took on a ton of missions, only to be kicked out to do more. You know, I'm a product of the technological age, and I like those ancient worlds, so, so—"
Hua Caimo... Well, this is indeed a question that I can empathize with.
"Don't lie to me," Hua Cai sneered, making the system feel uneasy.
"It's just the age of technology, from now on I'll definitely ask for your opinion before accepting any missions." The system, which was teetering on the brink of obsolescence, was on the verge of collapse and decisively abandoned its dignity and integrity as a system master.
The crashing system felt like it was hallucinating; it seemed to be seeing mission recordings from other systems in the programmers' space station.
Each host obeyed their system without question. They dared not voice any objections to any task the system assigned, and worked tirelessly to complete it. Then, they used the meager merit points they received to exchange for cheap goods. Each system made a fortune and would frequently visit the programmers to upgrade and obtain more advanced software.
Why is it that things are completely different when it comes to me?
"How can you expect me to trust you?" A cold voice came through, instantly pulling the system back to harsh reality.
"Seriously, if I don't take you to the technological world after the next mission, you can just scrap me."
The system made various oaths and vows to escape from Hua Cai's clutches.
"Since that's the case, then wait two more worlds. When it's time to scrap you, don't blame me for being ruthless." Hua Cai clapped her hands, and her clear voice made the system's heart tremble again.
"Alright, my lovely Baozi, tell me your thoughts on this mission." The system hadn't even recovered when Hua Cai looked at him with a smile and asked.
The system felt a moment of disorientation. Looking at the smiling eyes in front of it, it began to wonder if it had just been hallucinating.
"Relax, as long as it's not a matter of principle, I'm very easy to talk to. You've been in Qingqiu for so many years, you must know what kind of person I am." Hua Cai flicked the system orb in a good mood: "I am the beautiful and kind future empress of Qingqiu."
The system, which had been flicked, dared not move. Hearing Hua Cai's words, it shuddered again and felt even more heartbroken.
He did know her, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to make a move on her the moment they met, trying to abduct her and make her his host. But what happened just now? It was completely the opposite of what he had heard.
She was even more terrifying than her former host's father, Lang Zheng, the chieftain of the wolf clan.
"What are your plans, host?" the system asked cautiously.
Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger.
"I'm thinking about it. Also, please don't call me 'Host,' it makes me feel like I'm like Lang Xiaoxiao." Hua Cai corrected seriously, "You can call me Xiao Cai. After all, you're a 300-year-old system, and I'm just a 299-year-old girl."
The system is criticizing it, but how bad is it really?
You have the bigger fist, so you get to call the shots. Xiao Cai is Xiao Cai.
"Since we're so familiar with each other, is there anything that can directly complete the task?" Hua Cai started to daydream again.
She felt that getting Zhao Qiang to give up on Zhao Min was more difficult than getting the Heavenly Emperor, that dim-witted fool, to stop proposing marriage to her.
"No." The system looked exasperated.
Even if you were there, you still couldn't afford it.
Of course, he wouldn't dare say the second half of that sentence even if he had ten times the courage.
"Sigh." Hua Cai sighed, then suddenly lay down and pulled the blanket over herself: "I'll take a nap first, and think about it after I've had a good sleep."
The system says "Go ahead and do as you please. As long as you don't slack off, everything is negotiable."
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Hua Cai got up full of energy and went straight to the kitchen to get Zhao Qiang's breakfast.
This display of fighting spirit left the system completely bewildered. What... has the sun risen in the west?
Hua Cai wouldn't tell the system that this was simply the biological clock that this body had developed over the years; she would wake up reflexively at the appointed time.
As the highest-ranking maid in the Prince's mansion, she didn't need to cook herself; she only needed to bring the breakfast prepared in the kitchen to Zhao Qiang.
Normally there's not much to do. Her job is to add ink, fan, make the bed, and fold the blankets, but Zhao Qiang isn't the kind of person who's pampered and spoiled. He usually does these things himself and rarely asks the servants for help, so Wen Xiang is always by his side.
As a result, many servants speculated that Wenxiang was actually a concubine specially chosen by the prince for Zhao Qiang, and even Wenxiang herself sometimes thought so.
She knew in her heart that there was such a rumor, which might create an obstacle in Zhao Qiang's pursuit of Zhao Min. She couldn't understand why Zhao Qiang, who cared so much about Zhao Min, hadn't driven her away.
However, Zhao Qiang did not show that intention, so she obediently became his servant.
With the memory of the scent still lingering, Hana quickly found the kitchen.
The servants in the kitchen all looked indifferent when they saw the aroma.
Everyone here is a servant, and the special treatment of smelling fragrance is naturally unpleasant. It's good enough that these people didn't secretly sabotage us.
It's common knowledge throughout the entire Jin Dynasty that Zhao Qiang loves Zhao Min so much. Even if she were to become Zhao Qiang's woman after smelling the fragrance, things wouldn't be much better than they are now, and naturally, no one would rush to curry favor with her.
"Here it is, take it with you. Be careful, this breakfast is worth a year's worth of your monthly salary," the head cook said sarcastically, followed by a chorus of agreement.
The original owner would be subjected to a few sarcastic remarks every day, but fortunately she was easygoing and these people only said a few words that were neither painful nor hurtful, so she was too lazy to take it to heart.
"These scoundrels, teach them a lesson." Before Hua Cai had even done anything, the system was already filled with righteous indignation.
"We have important business to attend to today; we can talk about these trivial matters later." Hua Cai, who had suddenly changed her expression yesterday, was now back to being the gentle and lovely little princess of Qingqiu.
The gentle voice flattered the system, which quickly echoed obsequiously, "That's right, that's right, we can't let these people ruin important matters."
Hua Cai ignored these people and went straight to get the breakfast. When she got close to the stove, she suddenly stumbled, barely regained her balance, picked up the breakfast, and left.
Behind him came the sarcastic voices of a group of servants.
"Oh, what a pampered young lady! She can't even walk on the kitchen floor properly."
Hua Cai decisively ignored them and walked straight out with her breakfast.
