[It is detected that the host's current strategy task has not yet been executed. If the stagnation time is too long, the task bar will enter a frozen state, and at the same time, the countdown for judging the strategy task failure will start! Therefore, please execute it as soon as possible! ]

These days, the system is like an alarm clock, appearing in Sheng Yuan's mind at a fixed time and place, repeating the sentence "Please execute as soon as possible."

She turned a blind eye to it all.

Therefore, the system issued a warning prompt.

"If you don't complete the new strategy mission, you will be considered a failure?"

This is the first time Sheng Yuan has given a system response in so many days.

[Yes! So please proceed with the task as soon as possible! ]

Sheng Yuan: “Not going ahead.”

The system thought it had heard wrongly: [What? ]

Sheng Yuan repeated in a light voice, "I won't do this mission."

[Host, please do not forget that once the mission is judged to have failed, you will be punished and fall into a permanent sleep! ] The mechanical voice of the system, word by word, was clear and indifferent, almost inhumanely reminding.

Sheng Yuan remained calm, "Oh, I didn't forget."

[…Aren’t you afraid? ]

Sheng Yuan replied: "Of course I would be afraid."

"It's just that..." The next second, the girl changed her tone, "Why should I believe you?"

"From the moment I opened my eyes in the hospital until now, all my actions have been supported by following the system. The system issues tasks, I complete them, and then accumulate strategy points. Everything goes on step by step."

The system is confused: [Is there any problem? ]

Sheng Yuan curled her lips: "Of course there is no problem, how could there be a problem? In my understanding, your words always represent the right direction. I firmly believe in every sentence and every word you say to me, and I have never doubted its authenticity."

System: [Host, we should trust each other. ]

Sheng Yuan added, "That was before."

The system is puzzled: […What does that mean? ]

Sheng Yuan spoke each word slowly, "What I mean is, now I don't believe it."

"You said that if I complete the mission, I can get any wish. Does that mean it will come true? You said that if I fail the mission, I will fall into a permanent sleep. Does that mean I will definitely fall into a sleep?"

"The reason why I trust you is because you came to me, and I was trapped in my preconceived thinking and could only believe you instinctively."

"You are actually more certain about this than I am." He was certain that she would never have the slightest doubt about it, certain that she would always be obedient, believe in it unconditionally, and follow it.

“…”

In my mind, I could clearly feel the system being silent for a moment, and then it said: [Host, I don't know why you suddenly have this idea. I can tell you clearly that every word I said and all the data are true and correct. If the mission fails, you will really be punished.]

The system believes that the level of its warning is serious enough, and its tone is even more serious and earnest.

[The task progress bar is close to success, do you really want to give up the task? ]

The next second, Sheng Yuan answered it directly with action.

The girl pulled open her sleeves, revealing her slender, white wrists, and her fingers touched the thin watch-like diamond bracelet on her wrist.

That is the intermediary between Sheng Yuan and the system. Once it is taken off, the two sides will lose contact, and Sheng Yuan will no longer be able to sense the existence of the system or hear any sound from the system.

The system suddenly had a bad premonition, and the originally cold mechanical voice now sounded in panic.

[Removing the intermediary will have no effect. Once you and I are bound, the strategy mission will be triggered immediately. Unless you complete it, you will never be able to unbind! If you do this, the mission will still exist, and the judgment system will continue to exist and will not fail! ]

[You will really fall into a deep sleep in the end——]

"It doesn't matter."

The system's noisy voice of stopping suddenly stopped. It was Sheng Yuan who raised her hand, and the bracelet splashed several layers of beautiful water. Even though it was worth a lot of money, it was still thrown into the depths of the lake by the owner without mercy. -On the day when the ancestor worship ceremony ended, the main house was empty in an instant.

The chef for today's dinner couldn't help but feel happy because Miss Sheng Yuan liked her cooking so much that she ordered extra rice twice and seemed to have a good appetite.

“…”

The night before returning to Beijing, Sheng Qi found Sheng Yuan.

In the quiet tea room.

Sheng Qi made a pot of tea gracefully, poured a small cup for Sheng Yuan, and then slowly took out a brocade box from under the table.

"When Uncle San and his friends left in the afternoon, Uncle San asked me to give it to you."

"Third uncle?"

Sheng Qi nodded, took a sip of hot tea from the cup, and said casually: "Well, a small gift."

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Is it popular to give small gifts to Uncle San's family? Now, whenever she hears the word "small gift", she has a conditioned reflex. The bet that her cousin Sheng Yi won and gave her is still in her room, like a hot potato, and she doesn't know how to deal with it.

Sheng Yuan lowered her eyes and stared at the box in front of her, not moving for a long time.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?" Sheng Qi raised his eyebrows curiously and looked over. He seemed to understand the girl's hesitation and suddenly said with a smile, "Third Uncle and his friends are just ordinary businessmen doing jewelry business abroad."

Sheng Yuan: "..." Can she say that she doesn't want to believe it?

Sheng Qi simply put down the cup and raised his hand to open the box.

Inside the dark grey plush brocade box, there lies a bracelet quietly. It is a women’s bracelet, and one that is suitable for young girls. Each thin joint is inlaid with tiny diamonds, and the pendant in the center is a translucent, slightly pink diamond cut into a princess square shape, which is extremely beautiful.

For some reason, Sheng Yuan felt a strange feeling when looking at the bracelet, remembering the bracelet she threw into the lake in the morning. As soon as she threw it, a new bracelet was placed in front of her. She had a feeling that her throwing of the bracelet had been known.

But no one, Sheng Qi or anyone else, came to ask Sheng Yuan about it, as if she had just thrown it away, as if it was not an expensive diamond bracelet, with a casual attitude.

"Stretch out your hand."

Sheng Qi put the bracelet on Sheng Yuan naturally and delicately, looked at her wrist for two seconds, and commented with satisfaction, "It looks better than when it's empty."

"There's one more thing."

Sheng Qi placed an invitation letter in front of Sheng Yuan. Meeting Sheng Yuan's puzzled look, he said, "The Xu family that just returned to Beijing from France has a descendant named Xu Lizhi. Do you have any impression of him? I think you two have filmed a movie together before?"

"This weekend, their family is hosting a reception and has invited the aristocratic families in Beijing. Almost everyone in the aristocratic family circle will be there. Do you want to go?"

The word "solemn reception banquet" appeared casually in Sheng Qi's mouth, which was very strange. Logically, Sheng Qi knew that Sheng Yuan was not very interested in such occasions, but he still asked Sheng Yuan.

Sheng Yuan answered, "Go."

But it’s not to play, it’s to please people.

Sheng Qi curled his lips and poured himself another cup of tea comfortably. (End of this chapter)
