Chapter 136
System world entrance.
"The host has finally died." System 1009 started complaining the moment it passed through the entrance. "I'm so unlucky to have met such a stupid host with a mind full of bitterness!"
1009 just wanted to vent after holding it in for so long, but he didn't expect someone else to interrupt him right after he finished complaining: "What's wrong with your host?"
1009 looked back and said, "188? You're back too?"
188 nodded: [Yes, what happened to your host? ]
It would be fine if he didn't mention it, but once he mentioned the host, 1009 had a lot of grievances to pour out.
You don't know, my host is ordinary and confident. He thought that after binding with me, he would get a promotion, a raise, and marry a beautiful, wealthy woman. I asked him to be more realistic, but he refused and kept asking me to tease him about beautiful women.
[Eating melons is fine, because eating melons is the job of the melon-eating system. But do you know what kind of melons it eats? It eats about beautiful women's dark histories, whether they wear black stockings, whether they like lace, and whether they have any sexual fetishes...]
"My moral compass is so high! Eating one or two of these melons occasionally is fine, but how can I eat them every day? And most hosts just enjoy themselves after eating the melons. But do you know what my host did? He went after the person who ate the melons and used this information to threaten them, threatening to expose the information unless they paid him."
[Fuck! Idiot! If it weren't for the system rules that forbid doing anything harmful to the host, I really want to kill him and quickly replace him with a more normal host!]
188: [……]
Its expression now is as if it has eaten a pile of shit.
As soon as 1009 saw its expression, he felt a sense of sadness like his fellow Zhongtong. He thought that 188 had also encountered a stupid host. He thought that since he had been complaining for so long, he should let 188 vent for a while. It was only fair that there was give and take.
How is your host?
Hey, now that you mention this, I'm not sleepy anymore.
188 grinned, his face full of happiness as he spoke, "My host, I call her Sister Huan. When I met Sister Huan, she was only thirteen years old. You know how difficult life was for a girl in ancient times..."
She broke away from the stereotype of a lady from an ancient family, known for her ability to play the game of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, to support her husband and raise her children. She helped other women in need, never asking for anything in return...
[Her excellence made everyone who knew her cherish her talent. To allow her to serve in the court in an open and honest manner, a special examination for women was held...]
She studied the Four Books and Five Classics and took the imperial examination, defeating countless men and achieving top marks in all three categories, becoming the first female top scholar in Dasheng...
This popular science lecture astonished 1009, who exclaimed in sincere admiration: "Your host is amazing!"
"Of course not?" 188's little tail was raised high with pride. "Other hosts bind to the system and secretly eat melons. My host handed me over and used the eating melon system as an intelligence system and a system to enrich the country and strengthen the military. You can't imagine that, right?"
She built roads, bridges, dams, and water conservancy projects in Dasheng, engaging in a frenzied infrastructure development...
[She bred high-quality seeds, produced fertilizers, manufactured pesticides, and introduced countless foreign-origin pharmaceuticals and cash crops...]
She vigorously promoted basic education and brought modern medical and chemical knowledge to Dasheng...
My host was childless throughout her life, dedicating everything to Dasheng and the people. She contributed so much to that world that while she was still alive, countless people built a shrine for her and offered incense to her. She was the most popular prime minister in thousands of years!
As soon as 1009 came back, he was pulled by 188 to chat for three hours at the entrance of the system world, and they just talked nonsense the whole time.
At first, 1009 was very surprised and listened with great interest. Later, he felt that 188 talked too much and could never finish. Later, he began to dislike 188 for not knowing how to speak.
Just flatter me if you want, after all, the host of 188 is indeed different from the hosts of other systems, so it is worth flattering me, right?
However, this guy is trying to pull people down!
188: [When I first linked up with Sister Huan, I thought that since she was a girl, she probably wouldn't be interested in eating melons. Who knew she could use the eating melon system as an intelligence system?]
[1009, compared to your host, isn't my Sister Huan more powerful?]
1009: […Hmm.]
188: [Compared to your host who eats the melons of beautiful women every day and threatens them for personal gain, doesn't my sister Huan have higher ambitions and nobler character?]
1009: […Hmm.]
188: [Compare to your host...]
After a few words, 1009's expression could no longer be maintained: "188, I have to submit this mission report to the main system. I'll chat with you next time when I have time."
It ran as fast as if there was a vicious dog chasing it.
188 smacked his lips, still not satisfied.
1009 ran for a long distance and looked back to find that 188 had caught the next unlucky guy and started blowing its sister Huan again.
What's going on with this guy?
How come your personality changed so much after just one trip out?
He used to be a naive kid, but now he has turned into a little fool.
1009 shook its head and waited until it submitted its mission report and came back dejectedly with the lowest mission rating of E-, then listened to the others gathered together chatting.
[188 went to the entrance to wait for another system.]
[How long has it been blowing? It hasn't said it's tired, but I'm tired of listening to it.]
[Who made this fool so lucky to be bound to such a promising host? ]
"Yeah, it's good enough for us to have B and C mission ratings, but this little idiot's mission rating is S+!"
"What? How can it be so high? I only have a B!"
[You know what's the most outrageous thing? ]
【What? 】
Its host, realizing his time was running out, summoned his entire court to gather melons from across the continent, saving a billion yuan for 188!
[Hiss——] 1009 and other systems took a deep breath.
That’s ten billion!
As long as you don’t mess around with the 188, you’ll never be able to spend it all in your lifetime!
All the systems are jealous. They are all systems, so why don’t they have as good luck as 188?
A few days later, 188, who was still squatting at the entrance of the system world, received a summons from the main system.
188 happily rushed over: [Master System, what's going on?]
The general system said expressionlessly: [188, I've received 9,999, oh, now 10,000, complaint letters these days.]
188 was stunned: [Complaint letter? Complaint against me?]
General System: [Your Versailles behavior has caused serious impacts on other systems. I hereby warn you.]
188 was stunned: [Versailles? I don’t have it.]
Xiao Shatong felt extremely aggrieved: [What I said was all true, how could I be so rude?]
The Master System looked at 188's genuine grievances and didn't know what to say for a moment. His tone softened a bit: "Facts are facts. You've been bragging about your host every time you catch one. You've been doing this for six months. Isn't that a bit excessive?"
188 felt even more aggrieved: [My host is so good, shouldn't everyone know about it? ]
General System: [...Now they all know, and they've all come to complain about my unfairness, saying that I assigned you a special host and reduced the difficulty of your mission.]
If you hadn't met Chu Huan and been led by her and the entire court, you definitely wouldn't have been rated S+.
188 didn't understand the true meaning of this at all, and smiled happily: [Isn't it?]
"I think the greatest luck I've ever had in my life was meeting Sister Huan! If it weren't for her, how could I have such a good life? That's a billion yuan in private savings! Sister Huan is so good to me!"
Overall system: [……]
If it didn't know 188's naive nature, it would have reason to suspect that 188 was deliberately mocking it.
Who told it, even as the master system, that it didn't have a billion in private savings? Damn it! It was envious too!
As she spoke, 188 began to feel sad. Her baby voice gradually softened and turned into tears: [How could my wonderful sister Huan die of illness?]
[The best imperial physician in Dasheng checked her pulse, the best imperial guards and secret guards guarded her. Even childbirth, the most dangerous hurdle for women, was too much for them to allow her to conceive. How could she die of illness at such a young age? Woohoo...]
The general system said something fair: [In ancient times, living to 63 years old was not considered young, right?]
188 burst into tears: "But the old Grand Tutor and Grand Preceptor have all lived to be over eighty! My sister Huan is so good, practicing martial arts and boxing every day, yet she's still not as good as some frail scholars!"
I checked the system when Sister Huan was ill. She was injured when she fell into the lake in the middle of winter as a child. After that, she worked day and night for Dasheng and the people, exhausting herself and spending all her energy. She's so exhausted.
[She did so many good things and accumulated so much merit, yet her life was so short. It’s so unfair…]
The system was so upset by her crying: [Don't cry, there is a chance for you to see her again, but there is a condition.]
188 stopped crying: [I promise!]
The main system was stunned: [I haven't said it yet.]
188: [As long as I can see Sister Huan again, I will agree to any condition.]
The main system smiled and stated the conditions: [One billion melon energy.]
188 seconds answer: [OK! ]
General System: [Would you like to reconsider this?]
188 gave me a shy smile. "These ten billion melons were probably collected by Sister Huan because she was worried I wouldn't have enough melons on my way back, so she mobilized the court and the people to help me collect them. This is a parting gift from her and the people to me."
If I can't see her again, this is what I rely on when I miss her. If I could see her again, I would be willing to give her, not just one billion, but even ten billion. To me, nothing is more precious than the mere act of seeing her again.
Overall system: [……]
The 188 that just left the factory is a confused child. It knows nothing and has to learn everything. After the training, it is still dumber than other systems, which makes it very worried - it always feels that it may be gone if it lets go.
Unexpectedly, 188 grew up after meeting Chu Huan.
The general system is very pleased: [As you wish, have a safe journey. ]
