She was almost thinking she was dreaming or going crazy because of what she was just silently repeating, and that there was no such thing as a system.
"System, what's going on? Didn't you tell me to bind to you before?"
Why did you disappear without a trace after I bound myself to you?
The system paused for about fifteen minutes.
(This system has a number; you may refer to this system as Fuqiang.)
Binding to a new host requires a restart.
The previous lack of response was due to a system restart...
When Ning Jing heard the system called Fuqiang, she couldn't help but grimace.
This family is so poor, yet it still has the audacity to name itself "Fuqiang" (meaning "prosperous and strong").
Where is the wealth? Where is the strength?
(Host, please don't mutter about my name!)
Upon hearing the system's words, Ning Jing raised an eyebrow slightly and then said, "You're spying on my thoughts?"
(Please do not insult the professional ethics of this system. Unless the host is thinking about something unrelated to this system, this system will not be able to know the thoughts in the host's mind.)
The mechanical voice rarely spoke for so long, and there was a hint of grievance in its tone.
Hearing the system say that, Ning Jing's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, immediately relaxed.
If the thoughts in your mind are being spied on by someone—no, by a system—anytime, anywhere.
Even if this system is incredibly powerful, she would never dare to take it.
"Alright, don't feel wronged. I just didn't know."
If you don't explain things clearly, how am I supposed to know about your professional ethics, right?
Also, what exactly is my current situation?
Where is this place?
Looking at Sister Guihua, the children, and the family's abject poverty, Ning Jing had a vague suspicion.
However, she didn't want her guess to be true.
(This is a small village called Xishan Village in Z Province, China, in a parallel universe during the 1960s.)
The host's current name is Ning Jing, and your husband's name is Fu Hongxing... (zzzz... sizzle... sacrifice... requires... mission... to... zzzz... activate... business... zzzz... zz...)
After a burst of electronic interference, the mechanical sound also disappeared into the quiet of my mind.
Ning Jing was dumbfounded. Could such a bizarre and outrageous move really exist?
However, at least from the system's stammering words, called Fuqiang, she gleaned a few key points.
This is not any era from the previous timeline, but the 1960s in a parallel universe.
Judging from the family's living conditions and the children's and his own clothing, it shouldn't be too different from the 1960s in his own time.
The original owner's husband was named Fu Hongxing, but he has already sacrificed himself!
Thinking of Guihua's words of comfort, it seems that they are most likely true.
Also, the system keeps shutting down halfway through, so she probably needs to complete a task to restart it, right?
And the last character, "商" (shāng), could it mean "shopping mall"? "marketplace"? "store"?
The thought of this possibility filled Ning Jing's heart with excitement.
If the system can open up malls, shopping centers, or stores, even in the 1960s, what would she be afraid of?
At least we'll have enough to eat and drink, that's definitely not a problem.
Ning Jing thought about it a lot, and finally calmed down.
But I was dumbfounded.
The system said it needed to perform a task, but it didn't explain what the task was before shutting down.
This is like having a mountain of treasures but being unable to enter it!
When Ning Jing thought about the wonderful life she had just imagined, she couldn't help but feel so conflicted that her guts were practically tied in knots.
