When Yan Muhuai woke up, it was already evening. The sun shone through the window, turning the whole room into a warm yellow. He took a look at his mobile phone, but there was still no signal. It seemed that the repair of the road down the mountain was not going smoothly, and he would have to wait until tomorrow morning to go down the mountain.
He fumbled to get up, but the result was similar to before. The sleep did not restore his strength, but made him weaker.
Fortunately, Rong Jin didn't wait by his bedside for him to wake up, otherwise he would have been worried seeing him like this.
After resting for a while on the headboard, Yan Muhuai called out the number thirty-five in his mind.
"I'm here. What do you want me to do, host?" Thirty-five's tone was so earnest that it sent a chill down one's spine.
Yan Muhuai frowned, "What evil ideas are you planning?"
Hearing Thirty-Five's words, Yan Muhuai did not immediately state his request, but asked a question in return.
"No, no." Thirty-five quickly denied it, then stammered, "I just have an unwelcome request."
"If you know it's an unreasonable request, don't say it out loud. Exchange it for another 10,000 merit points of life for me." He is too weak now, which is not conducive to the development of his relationship with his apprentice.
Thirty-Five didn't dare disobey, so he did as he was told and continued, "Master Host, you still have over 10,000 merit points left. In other words... could you lend me some?"
After using 10,000 merit points, Yan Muhuai added another 100 days to his lifespan. Together with the merit points that he had not used up before, he could live for almost half a year. He immediately felt his breathing smoother and he felt much better.
Then he stood up and walked two steps beside the bed without feeling dizzy.
As he left the room, he asked Thirty-Five, "You want to use my merit points? You can still use them? How do you plan to use them?"
Thirty-five didn't hear the sarcasm in Yan Muhuai's tone and thought he was agreeing by talking to her. He happily stated his plan, "I want to exchange for the Soul Gathering Pills from the mall. I don't want too many. I'll try exchanging one first. If it works, I'll continue to borrow from you, my host."
"One Spirit Gathering Pill in your mall requires a thousand merit points, which is equivalent to ten days of my lifespan. System number, since you are already online, you should really learn more Chinese when you have time. This is not an unreasonable request, it's simply a fantasy, do you understand?" Yan Muhuai's tone was very cold and ruthless.
After hearing this, Thirty-Five began to cry and beg, "Master Host, please have mercy on me. I really don't want much. Consider it a loan from you. As long as I'm alive, I will definitely find a way to return it to you. I just want to see if after taking the Spirit Gathering Pill and gaining spiritual power, I can get my body back."
"You are a system, sent from the main god space to help your former host conquer the male protagonist of this world and stabilize the system of this world. Why is your body a broken sword? That is Ming Fei's body." Although Yan Muhuai said this, he clearly felt the thirty-five pairs of broken swords' obsession.
Didn't Thirty-Five know that merit points were his life? Yet, even though they weren't close, it still made such an outrageous request, suggesting it was truly deranged in its desire for spiritual power.
"It's mine. Can't you see the sword in the gap at the last grid of my mall? It looks the same as the broken sword that Ming Fei took away." Thirty-five was still trying his best to persuade.
Yan Muhuai had to tell it, "I've seen that crack. There's only darkness inside, nothing."
Thirty-five cried even louder this time, "How is this possible? I can see it all. Master Host, are you kidding me?"
Yan Muhuai didn't waste any more time talking to it and left the room.
There was no one in the room, only the sunset, quiet and warm.
At this time, Rong Jin walked in from the warm light. His shadow was lengthened by the light and happened to be next to Yan Muhuai who was standing at the door of the room.
Yan Muhuai smiled and took two steps forward so that they could really touch each other instead of just seeing their shadows.
Thirty-Five took the opportunity to plead, "Master Host, please lend me some merit points. Once I'm out of your mind, you won't have to worry about me being a third wheel when you're being intimate with Rong Jin. Otherwise, wouldn't it be awkward for me to be watching you cuddle with him every time?"
"I'll lock you up." Yan Muhuai replied thirty-five, then asked Rong Jin beside him, "Where are the others?"
Rong Jin looked at Yan Muhuai seriously and said, "Everyone is in Hou Yu's courtyard preparing to have dinner. I came to call you over, Master. You look much better."
He was afraid that others would disturb Yan Muhuai's rest, so he cleared up all the noises around the room.
"Well, I'm hungry too, let's go over there." Yan Muhuai pulled Rong Jin's hand, but quickly let go.
Although many people in the program crew tacitly acknowledged their relationship, most people still didn't know about it. In order to avoid being photographed by someone with ulterior motives and then posted about it, they still couldn't be too presumptuous.
Rong Jin knew Yan Muhuai's concerns and did not force him. He put his hands in his pockets and walked shoulder to shoulder with him.
It took a few minutes to walk from the house at the entrance of the village to the yard where they had dinner. The two walked slowly without saying a word, enjoying this wonderful time tacitly.
It was just that Sanshiwu had no tacit understanding with them and kept crying and begging Yan Muhuai the whole time.
Yan Muhuai locked the system into his sea of consciousness halfway through, and released it less than a minute later. The stupid system was still crying and had no idea that it was locked in a small dark room.
He suspected that as long as he didn't agree, Sanshiwu would keep crying like this.
After entering the courtyard and sitting down with Rong Jin, Yan Muhuai finally lost his patience and relented, "Even if I lend you the merit points to buy the Soul Gathering Pill, and you have spiritual power, how are you going to come across Ming Fei's broken sword? Look, she holds it while eating. Do you want me to steal it for you?"
"Is it okay?" Thirty-five asked in a crying voice.
Yan Muhuai asked back, "Do you think it's okay?"
"Uh... that's not necessary, Master Host. I can handle this myself. I think everything will be different once I have spiritual power." Thirty-Five was still worried that Yan Muhuai would think it was trying to trick him into giving the Spirit Gathering Pill, so he told him everything he had thought. "Before I saw the Broken Sword, I always thought I was a useless system. I had no interest in the things in the mall. But the moment you touched the Broken Sword, I felt very weak and extremely thirsty for spiritual energy."
"So what?" Yan Muhuai didn't understand what this little thing wanted to express?
"So as long as you give me a Spirit Gathering Pill, I can move the earth!" Thirty-five said in a loud voice.
Yan Muhuai didn't even bother to mock it. "Okay, I'll give it to you. If you take the Soul Gathering Pill and nothing happens, I'll treat it as feeding the dog. But don't even think about getting any benefits from me in the future."
After all, Thirty-Five is already a dead system with a time bomb tied to it.
"Master Host, please don't be so hurtful. I trust my intuition. This Spirit Gathering Pill will definitely be a turning point in my life."
