"Wait, stop!"
Luo Chen was exasperated and stopped the system from continuing.
If he keeps talking, then he'll become...
"By the way, your update seems to have made it more human-like."
Luo Chen found it strange. The previous system didn't have this problem. Although it was talkative at times, it never argued or joked like it does now.
[The host has successfully completed a story mission.]
[Having gained upgrade privileges, things will naturally be somewhat different from before.]
"Tell me quickly, what changes have you undergone?"
[The host can first open the system panel to view.]
panel?
Luo Chen opened the system panel as instructed, though puzzled.
Instantly, a blue light screen appeared, and the system panel appeared before his eyes.
Luo Chen examined it suspiciously.
System: Villain [Has one chance to name the system.]
Host: Luo Chen [Information changes with the world; currently in the "Return of the Dragon King" world, identity: eldest son of the Luo family of Ningcheng, president of the Luo Group.]

[...]
Luo Chen was somewhat stunned as he looked at the changes on the system panel.
This panel seems much simpler now, with the attribute points reduced from four to two.
After that, it became much easier to diss others.
Moreover, they can even give the system a name! What direction are they planning to take?!
In addition, the talent I obtained before was just an ordinary talent. Could it be that I will have an even better talent later?
What could that be?
Intermediate, advanced, or god-level?
Most importantly, he clearly remembered that Iron Shirt and Golden Bell Shield had not yet reached perfection, but now they had actually reached perfection.
The Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill has also gained three more levels.
"System, what's going on with this panel? I don't understand it."
[Host, due to the system upgrade, the diss reward you receive has been doubled.]
[I was previously updating the game, and the host complained about the delayed rewards; they have now all been distributed.]
Luo Chen nodded; he understood.
I thought that since the system was updated, I wouldn't get a reward for complaining in my mind, but I didn't expect there would be one.
Moreover, due to the system upgrade, the number of criticisms doubled.
This aspect pleased Luo Chen.
"So, was the matter of naming you also something that came about after the upgrade?"
Luo Chen pointed to the panel, which showed the area where he could name the system.
[nature.]
"So what do you want to be called? Meow, or Doggy?" Luo Chen asked with a mischievous grin.
[...]
The system was speechless for the first time.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen was somewhat bewildered.
After this upgrade, the system seems to have become more human-like.
"By the way, you won't be upgraded to a human in the future, will you?" Luo Chen asked uncertainly.
I don't know.
[All I know is that as long as the host successfully completes the mission and fulfills the storyline reward.]
[I will then gain upgrade privileges; as for what happens after that, I currently do not know.]
"I see..."
Luo Chen stroked his chin and thought for a moment.
"Now that you've changed a bit, I'll give you a normal name."
"As for your surname, I won't give you one. Since you're mine anyway, you can just take my surname."
"As for the name... let's call him Qi."
What do you think?
Luo Chen recalled that in his original world, he had a particular fondness for a female anime character when he was a child, and her name contained the character "Qi".
I've also fantasized about how I would treat a girl like that.
Now we finally have the chance to name the system.
The regrets of the past have now been made up for.
Luo Chen immediately thought of this name.
[Host has successfully chosen a name.]
[From now on, I will be called Qi.]
The system didn't even offer any feedback.
The system panel changed immediately.
Qi's name appeared prominently above, signifying success.
[...]
Let's get down to business.
Luo Chen asked the system.
"Everything that needed to be done has been done. Now, it's your turn to resolve my doubts."
[What does the host want to know?]
"I want to know why Fang Xue has changed so much. She wasn't like that before. Now she's almost turned evil. What went wrong?"
Speaking of Fang Xue, Luo Chen felt a headache coming on.
Instead of remaining a perfect ice queen, she's starting to resemble a yandere.
Luo Chen really couldn't adapt to this change.
Fang Xue should also know that he only approached her for the sake of the plot.
Later, when I stopped following the storyline, I became too lazy to practice anymore.
It was explained so clearly that night.
He also believed that Fang Xue would understand.
How did it come to this?
What exactly went wrong?
Luo Chen didn't understand.
[On this point, we must first ask you, the host.]
"I?"
Luo Chen pointed at himself in surprise.
[Yes.]
[If you hadn't deceived her using your thoughts, she wouldn't have become like this.]
[Do you remember what you said to her back then, host?]
Luo Chen was confused.
At that time, Fang Xue was in danger and took a bullet for him, and it seemed that she would not survive.
The wish, which hadn't even been warmed up yet, was already used.
At that time, Fang Xue was quite determined to find out whether Luo Chen liked her or not.
In order to avoid revealing the existence of the system and to prevent Fang Xue from being unable to hold on and thus unable to use her wishes, Luo Chen lied.
Since this was his first time receiving such a wish, Luo Chen wasn't sure if it would actually work.
But after thinking it over, it shouldn't have caused Fang Xue to change so much.
[It seems the host still hasn't figured it out.]
"I really don't understand. Don't play games with me, just tell me directly."
[The host has successfully completed filming and has received their reward wish.]
[The existence of wishes is to fulfill what you desire, host. Am I right?]
Luo Chen nodded. The wish was indeed what he wanted, after all, it was a ticket to return to reality.
Although in his heart, he was no longer as attached to reality as before.
But after all, it's in a book, in someone else's world.
Even if life is good, there will always be some constraints.
Luo Chen had actually thought that when he had a wish, he would bring the important people in his life back to reality with him.
Even if everything here is lost, Luo Chen is confident that he will be able to take it all back soon.
But when I saw the image of Fang Xue being shot and falling to the ground...
Luo Chen did not hesitate.
My first thought was to save Fang Xue.
Although I feel a little disappointed.
At least I can live with my conscience.
As for the system, Luo Chen still didn't understand it.
Since it's about helping him fulfill his wish.
Naturally, it was to help Fang Xue come back to life.
But how come even her personality has changed?
"I still don't understand, what's the connection between these two things?"
[Host, to put it simply, a wish is to infinitely amplify one's desires, turning them from nothingness into reality.]
