Chapter 3



How should a ball perform talents?

If possible, Fang Wei just wanted to switch out his original form and greet the face of this unlearned and pleasure-loving son of luck a few times. However, unfortunately he couldn't. His original form was still trapped in the dark underground prison, and he still needed the son of luck to help him escape from the abyss. So not only could he not do anything for him, he also had to try his best to please the other party.

Only in this way can he stand out from many systems, successfully gain Hua Shi's trust, and become his binding system.

So no matter what, I have to deal with it first and make this guy in front of me interested in me.

Fang Wei was silent for a moment and began to think about how he should showcase his talent next.

This is not a simple question for Fang Wei now. What kind of talent should a ball perform to impress the Son of Fortune?

Did he have to perform the trick of growing bigger or smaller, changing color or shape?

Hua Shi couldn't tell any changes in Fang Wei's expression, but when he saw that the light ball didn't respond for a long time, it seemed to understand his hesitation. He fiddled with the light ball in a funny way, his expression casual to the point of flirting, and smiled with the corners of his eyes slightly raised: "I'm just talking casually, you're not really going to perform, are you?"

Fang Wei: “…”

He half wanted to turn around and leave.

This guy is so naughty. If I really follow him as a system in the future, I will have to endure it many times every day.

But before Fang Wei could say anything, Hua Shi smiled at him in a friendly manner: "Actually, I've already thought about it."

Fang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the fifth young master of the Hua family stand up from his chair, then walk to the door, cup his hands into a trumpet shape and shout to the group of system light balls in the courtyard outside: "I have already chosen the system, and I am not going to continue the interview. You all go back!"

After shouting this, he didn't wait to hear what the group of systems outside said. He immediately closed the door and looked back at Fang Wei again, his eyes full of expectant smile.

"Alright, alright. I've asked the other systems to leave. Let's sign the contract."

Fang Wei: "…conclude a contract?"

Hua Shi nodded, and said naturally: "It's like that. When your system selects a host, shouldn't there be a more powerful ceremony? For example, tell me the rules of your system, and how do I need to cooperate? How exactly does this 'out-of-this-world master' system help me upgrade and become stronger? Do I need to do something to accumulate points? Or do I need to complete the main storyline? How many points can be exchanged for props and cultivation secrets? Or how many chapters of the main storyline can I get the task rewards?"

“…”

Fang Wei fell silent.

Hua Shi blinked his eyes: "Why don't you speak?"

Fang Wei didn't want to talk.

He spent a moment to make up the function of this system in his mind, and then finally said: "Host, please close your eyes."

Hua Shi didn't seem to have any doubts and sat obediently at the table with his eyes closed.

Fang Wei's spiritual light ball then floated in front of Hua Shi and looked at him for a moment. It must be said that this son of destiny has a very likable face. To put it in an inappropriate way, this is a face that people will entrust their children to when they walk on the street. It is natural that people can't help but feel close to him.

Of course, this does not include Fang Wei.

While the other party closed his eyes and carefully observed Hua Shi's appearance, Fang Wei controlled the ball of spiritual light to float in the direction of Hua Shi.

The ball of light slowly fell on Hua Shi's brows. The golden light seemed to become brighter the moment it touched Hua Shi's brows. However, in a flash, it dimmed again and disappeared between Hua Shi's eyebrows.

Hua Shi must have sensed something. At the moment when the light ball disappeared, he opened his eyes blankly, raised his right hand and gently touched his forehead. The area was now smooth and there was no trace of anything. Hua Shi lowered his head for a long while and murmured, "System? Are you still there?"

At this time, Fang Wei had already merged his consciousness into Hua Shi's soul. This was some kind of secret technique from his former sect. After the soul merged with the soul of another person, the two could talk to each other through their souls and no longer needed verbal communication. At the same time, the soul powers of the two would be connected to each other. Of course, such a connection was one-sided. For example, if Hua Shi's soul was in danger, the damage would inevitably pass through Fang Wei first, and then cause damage to Hua Shi.

However, ordinary souls would not have any effect on Fang Wei. Fang Wei did this just to ensure that Hua Shi would not be accidentally attacked by others before helping him leave the prison.

Fang Wei was still a little uncomfortable with the first soul fusion with someone, so she didn't say anything at first. When she heard Hua Shi's nervous question, Fang Wei finally said slowly, "I'm here."

Hearing Fang Wei's voice, Hua Shi asked in surprise: "You are talking in my mind? You entered my body?"

Fang Wei was about to explain, but Hua Shi's words stopped him. After a moment, he said, "I am communicating with you through my soul. I have only merged into your soul, not... into your body."

Hua Shi didn't notice the unnatural tone in Fang Wei's voice. After hearing this, he quickly asked, "You are talking in my head, so can you hear what I am thinking?"

"No." Fang Wei said calmly, "Communication between us through souls is the same as talking. I can only hear your voice when you want to communicate with me actively. At other times, I can't know what you are thinking." At this point, Fang Wei felt that his tone was not like that of a system, so he added at the end: "Please rest assured, host."

Hua Shi put down his hand, as if he was unfamiliar with this mode of contact, but he couldn't help but feel interesting at the same time. He rubbed his eyebrows and tried to communicate with Fang Wei through his soul. He closed his mouth tightly, his eyes were shining, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips, as if he was thinking about something interesting. Fang Wei didn't know what he was doing. After a while, he heard his voice transmitted through his soul: "Qiuqiu."

Fang Wei: “…”

Hua Shi then said through his soul: "Little Fatty?"

Fang Wei didn't want to pay much attention to him.

Hua Shi seemed to feel that his thoughts were not loud enough, so he began to bombard Fang Wei with junk messages: "Brother Ball? Fat Ball? Master System? Master?"

He tried this for a long time but still didn't get a response from Fang Wei. He paused and asked, "Does it really work? Why haven't I heard your answer after trying for a long time?"

Fang Wei said coldly: "If you change to a better name, I might want to answer you."

Fang Wei was not the type to please others. Now that Hua Shi had summoned all the other systems away and he had already signed a "contract" with Hua Shi, he no longer had to spend so much effort serving this host, so his tone naturally returned to normal.

Hua Shi seemed not to notice Fang Wei's change of attitude. He was only focused on his new system. He said again in his mind: "What should I call you in the future? There must be a name. The hermit master system is too long."

Fang Wei said: "System."

"System." Hua Shi immediately changed his words, sounding rather dissatisfied with this simple title. However, he soon stopped caring about it and began to care about his new system: "Where is your system panel? What functions does it have? Should I have some cheat codes or something? Or do something to accumulate points in exchange for skills?"

This guy sounds like he understands the system better than anyone else.

Fang Wei couldn't help but ask, "Who told you that?"

Hua Shi said as a matter of course: "It's written in the book."

All right.

Previously, I tried my best to please the Son of Fortune. Now that we are bound together, it is your turn to fulfill my request.

As Fang Wei thought about this, his mood instantly improved. He casually used up his spiritual power to create a system panel. Although he had spent too long in this ancient world after traveling through time, fortunately he had not completely forgotten things like operating systems. He quickly imitated the program system he had come into contact with in his previous life and made a roughly similar panel in Hua Shi's mind.

"System loading completed." Fang Wei changed his voice to a flat tone without any emotion, and began to pretend to be the system voice, "Congratulations to the host for binding the hermit master system. The host will obtain task points by investigating the secrets of Xuanqing Continent and completing the main storyline. Task points can be exchanged for martial arts secrets and various elixirs. Please work hard to complete the tasks and upgrade."

After hearing what Fang Wei said, Hua Shi did not immediately check the system panel that Fang Wei had created. Instead, he asked with great concern, "Will the main mission be difficult? Will it be dangerous? What kind of secrets are needed to investigate secrets? Does entertainment gossip count?"

Fang Wei: “…”

Although he really didn't want to say anything, in order to prevent Hua Shi from refusing to go out and complete the task for him, Fang Wei still said, "There is no danger, host, please rest assured."

Hua Shi felt much more relieved, and then began to check the system panel. The panel still appeared directly in Hua Shi's mind through the power of the soul. Only Hua Shi and Fang Wei, who were connected by soul, could see it. At this time, Hua Shi was watching it with great interest. The system panel was very complete, and the interface was very beautiful. It had everything on it, even showing the time calendar, main quests, side quests, martial arts interface and version number of the Xuanqing Continent.

Fang Wei quietly waited for Hua Shi to check, and after a while asked: "Does the host have any other questions?"

Hua Shi blinked and said, "Yes." After a pause, he continued, "Why does this system panel look so much like a game interface?"

Fang Wei was silent.

Fortunately, Hua Shi did not ask any more questions. He seemed very satisfied with the game interface and even had a sense of familiarity with it. After checking the pile of incomprehensible secrets on the points exchange interface and the dark icons on the martial arts interface, Hua Shi continued to mutter to himself: "What is the main quest... Huh? Understand the distribution of forces in Xuanqing Continent within three days, and investigate the evil master Fang Wei."

Hua Shi stared at the name for a while, then asked thoughtfully, "Fang Wei?"
