Chapter 20 The Cutest
Jiang Jia asked for a total of one month.
On the first day, the disciples' voices were hoarse and their legs were shaking. On the second day, they lost their voices and their legs were numb. On the third day, they took elixirs to prolong their lives and survived for another day. On the fourth day, they were completely paralyzed...
However, Pei Ci did not react at all during this time, being perfunctory to the extreme.
Only in the cave, a small stone would be thrown out from time to time, indicating that he was still alive and told them to keep working hard - on the first day, the small stone would be thrown at the ground, and on the next few days, it would be thrown at them. If they were hit, half their lives would be taken away.
There's another strange thing.
For some reason, the towering tree at the entrance to the cafeteria seemed to have changed. Every time the brothers climbed up to ambush someone, five or six branches would suddenly break, causing them to fall to the ground and be seriously injured.
Everyone was in great pain. They suspected that this was Pei Ciyi's work, but under the watchful eyes of the crowd and the strict security, everyone knew that he really did not leave the cave.
Chu Qingkong: "It's my system!"
Within the vast area of the system space, small changes can be made wherever scanning is possible.
On the fifth day, the disciples refused to do it.
"Senior Sister Jiang, why don't we just forget it?" One of them said cautiously, covering his accidentally hit arm. "I think this kid is just playing coward. He's already... realized his mistake."
Another man leaned on a crutch, supporting his broken leg. "We're still in the sect after all. If we force someone to death, the Sect Master might get angry... Uh, and implicating Senior Sister Jiang would be terrible."
Jiang Jia sneered and ignored him.
Another disciple said earnestly, "Senior Sister Jiang, I have a plan! The sect competition is about to begin, and every disciple must fight. Let's let him go now, and then defeat him harshly in the sect competition. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Jiang Jia paused, his expression becoming thoughtful as he took these words in.
"That makes sense." She clapped her hands, "During the sect competition, you guys should teach him a lesson."
The disciples nodded in agreement, tears of excitement streaming down their faces.
Finally freed ahhhhhhh!
Finally I don't have to wait for people anymore!
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Jiang! During the sect competition, we'll definitely let this kid see how powerful we are!"
…
"In the sect competition, we must let them see how powerful A Pei is!"
The cave, though ordinary on the outside, held a world of its own. A luxurious, thick-pile carpet covered the white jade floor, and shark silk veils draped the surface. The tables were filled with the lingering scent of incense, the smoke curling up, unable to mask the fragrance of talisman paper and ink.
Chu Qingkong began flipping through his Long Aotian book again, and suddenly closed it: "A Pei, Pei Liang will also participate in the sect competition. I think this is a good opportunity for you to complete tasks and earn points!"
"—Then you'll say, 'If no one offends me, I won't offend anyone; if someone offends me, I'll wipe them out completely! I've sworn that I will repay the Pei family's suffering a hundredfold, a thousandfold!'"
His KPI!!
Pei Ciyi: "..."
"Well, what Chuchu said makes sense."
The young man smiled and nodded, turned the page and started writing the next talisman.
Before Chu Qingkong could even utter a word "Come on" he suddenly received a new message on the system work panel from the Lord God.
The Lord God: "Xiaochu, how's your work been lately? You've been working hard lately^^."
There is a separate dialogue window between the main god and the system, allowing one-on-one communication.
Chu Qingkong paused.
What was going on? My boss had never come to see me before, so why did he suddenly send me a message of concern and condolence?
Did he get caught secretly making his own "worker" memes? Or was he caught modifying the main system code when submitting his last work report? None of these, but was he caught adding an hour to his last ten-minute speech and asking for a billion yuan in triple overtime pay?
Chu Qingkong: “…”
"A Pei," he said to the host with tears in his eyes, "I may not be able to be your system anymore..."
Pei Ci smiled beautifully and whispered softly, "What's wrong?"
Beneath the smile that seemed to be bathed in a layer of clear water, there was a sinister danger.
Chu Qingkong did not answer in time.
He was busy searching the system space for "How to respond to leaders' concerns with high emotional intelligence" and then tremblingly sent a message: "Lord God, you're welcome. It's a blessing to be able to work. I will continue to work hard."
What the hell.
The Lord God: "Oh, so that's it! That's great! It's worthy of being the strongest system in the system world!"
It appears, the leader's flattery! It must be no good!
The Lord God said: "I have a new task for you. Starting today, you must submit a host observation report in Excel format, marking the time, host's physical condition and task progress. No less than 2,000 words per day."
Chu Qingkong: “…”
Chu Qingkong: "rnm, get out!" ("!" message failed to send.)
There was a big red exclamation mark "!" behind his message.
The Lord God had already foreseen that he would be scolded, so he made preparations in advance. After arranging the new work, he ran away and... blocked him.
Chu Qingkong: “…”
I really don’t want to do this anymore.jpg!!
He looked at Pei Ciyi, who was smiling softly, and felt that his host seemed to have a good temper.
After a moment of silence, a sudden inspiration came to my mind.
Chu Qingkong started to play the victim with tears in his eyes:
"Actually, nothing big happened just now. I just suddenly got a new job... From now on, I have to submit host observation reports. If I can't complete them, I have to go back to the factory for repairs. Wow wow wow wow wow wow."
Pei Ci's expression softened, and his smile was very clear and genuine: "Thank you for your hard work, Chuchu."
Chu Qingkong thought to herself, "Do you know, A Pei? There's a new restaurant next to the sect. They have crispy eight-treasure duck. It's super authentic!"
Pei Ciyi: "Hmm?"
Chu Qingkong said hesitantly, "If you have time at noon..."
Pei Ci sighed softly, secretly hating himself for being so ignorant of romance.
This was his and Chuchu's fifth day in the sect, and they had been confined to their cave the entire time. No matter how nice the cave was, it was still a bit boring, and they should go out for more walks.
Go out together, play together, eat together...
Does Chuchu want to invite him to dinner?
Pei Ci's eyes moved slightly, the gorgeous wine-red color shone brightly, and there was a hint of yearning and happiness in his eyes.
"Help me write the host observation report at noon. I'm going to go eat some crispy eight-treasure duck." Chu Qingkong spoke quickly and smoothly. "The new restaurant is crowded. There's no time to queue."
Pei Ci stopped suddenly.
He smiled stiffly, as if squeezing out a word from between his teeth, and gritted his teeth to agree.
…
Half an hour later, Chu Qingkong sneaked down the mountain with satisfaction - he found that his host seemed to be worried that he would quit, so he was willing to agree to such an excessive request.
He was queuing in front of the Crispy Eight Treasure Duck shop, thinking to himself whether to buy an extra one and bring it back to his host...
Oh, no, should I buy three? One for each of his three hosts! Anything I can't take with me will be stored in the system space to keep it fresh. Whatever you put in will remain the same when you take it out. Even the best refrigerator is like that.
He is the master of keeping balance!
It’s decided!
During the long queue, a normal system would have been to browse the forum to kill time. However, the elderly people nearby were chatting and talking about their daily lives, and Chu Qingkong's attention was quickly drawn to them.
I listened to the old men and women chatting with great interest.
——Naturally, I missed the new posts on the forum inadvertently.
The host forum is also very turbulent today.
As we all know, there are three big demons in the ordinary forum, forming a three-legged tripod and each dominating one side.
They are "Kiss the System Baby" in the infinite flow world, "Listen to the System's Nagging" in the fantasy world, and "Want to Raise the System Baby" in the cultivation world.
Although the IDs sound a bit strange, the common point is that every boss is very awesome. Just post a strategy guide and you will get hundreds of pages of responses.
No one expected it.
The initial trigger for today's battle came solely from a new post by a big shot in the fantasy world.
Listen to the system muttering: "[Flood][Not a strategy] My system is so cute, it's the cutest system in the world!! How can it be so cute? I like my system more and more!!"
First floor: "Front row, watching the boss, sofa."
Second floor: "Boss is awesome! Bench!"
As soon as the big boss posted, other hosts rushed to grab a spot without thinking twice. Sofas, benches, sodas and watermelons were all packed up. The stalls were already set up before they saw the title of the post.
Other hosts: "..."
Meow?
Is this showing off?
