Chapter 83: Upgrade and Return
The sky suddenly turned overcast and a heavy downpour began to fall. People on the street scrambled to take shelter, waving their sleeves and looking up at the sky, muttering in dissatisfaction.
"Why is it suddenly raining so hard... and right when I was about to go out? What a horrible weather."
The rain washed away the remaining blood on the street.
The rain poured down for several hours.
Xin Hongying came out of Tianxia Diyilou, holding a green oil-paper umbrella. His clothes were not wet at all. With a gloomy face, he lifted the curtain and got back into the car, saying:
"Go back to the yard."
The driver put on a straw raincoat, cracked the whip, and the carriage rolled forward in the rain.
Xin Hongying has already understood the whole story. An assassin appeared in the city and tried to kill the lord of Yunzhou City. In order to catch the assassin, martial law was imposed.
The owner of the No. 1 Building in the World was used to a comfortable life, and his work was rough and inefficient, and he was also addicted to alcohol and sex.
Such a big thing happened in Yunzhou City, but not even a little news was reported. Xin Hongying was furious and replaced the person on the spot.
There was a slanting wind and drizzle outside the carriage, and Shen Tingyu had a bad feeling: "Is it really just that simple?"
"Of course it's not that simple. A branch building run by a good-for-nothing must be hiding hidden schemes of various forces. It's like a plug."
"I suspect that the letter I sent to my senior brother was intercepted by someone, and the person who assassinated the Lord of Yunzhou City is the same person who was behind the assassination of me." A gleam of light flashed in Xin Hongying's eyes.
“I don’t know what they want to do yet.”
"But Yunzhou City has begun to become unsafe."
Fine drops of rain fell on the curtain of the carriage. The sound of rain gradually became rapid and dangerous, like a knock on the heart.
Shen Tingyu felt a little regretful. He finally got a clue and asked, "Are we leaving Yunzhou City?"
"Of course not." Xin Hongying's eyes were stern. "The cure is most important. As long as the poison is not cured, I will be constrained by others."
The pain of being controlled by the poisonous insect, losing all reason and knowing only killing as if his body was taken over, only reminded him of his mother's betrayal again and again, and his heart was broken.
"But right now we need to fight quickly and we can't delay any longer. We must get the Golden Flame Resurrection Grass as soon as possible."
"Also, we must find a way to contact Brother. Otherwise, if there is danger, the First Floor alone cannot protect you and me."
Shen Tingyu: "I have a way to deliver the letter to General Luo safely."
For their safety, Shen Tingyu was willing to spend more points to ensure that the letter could be delivered.
The two returned to their yard, the air was very humid, and Xin Hongying placed a brazier in the room to dispel the cold for Shen Tingyu.
Because Da Que'er was far away in the palace and the distance to and fro was too long, it was not chosen to deliver the message.
Shen Tingyu searched through the screen full of mounts in the system mall, bit by bit, trying to find a mount like Da Que'er that was easy to use and required few points.
But there are very few such mounts, and most of the points are high. Shen Tingyu's eyes hurt this time, and his heart hurt even more.
He gave up, picked a white carrier pigeon at random, and used the beast-controlling talisman.
【8 points will be deducted! 】
Shen Tingyu fell to the ground in pain. With the points of this white dove flower, she could contract the big sparrow eight times.
In the rain, a white dove flew from a distance, and the black spot gradually enlarged.
Xin Hongying stuffed the letter she wrote by hand into a small bamboo tube.
Looking at the figure of the white dove flying away, Shen Tingyu suddenly began to miss the system. She didn't know how Xiaoqi was upgrading now. Did she miss her as much as she did?
When will Xiaoqi come back?
When the system was by her side, she was still a little uncomfortable with the voices coming out of her head. Now that the system was not by her side and her mind was quiet, she was even more uncomfortable!
Habit is a terrible thing.
[Ding! The system is online, loading, and checking tasks...]
[7788 system at your service!] A familiar and cheerful childish voice rang out.
She must have heard it right, after listening for a while, Shen Tingyu's eyes lit up, it was Xiaoqi's voice.
Xiao Qi's voice was very recognizable, and she instantly felt like she was about to burst into tears, sob...
Her good system and good Xiaoqi finally upgraded successfully and returned!
[Hahahahahaha... Host, I'm Xiaoqi from the Mingjun Cultivation System. I'm back. Did you miss me?]
"Yes!" Shen Tingyu said excitedly, "I miss you so much."
[Host, Xiaoqi missed you too. I was thinking about you the entire time I was leveling up, and I almost failed... Luckily, Xiaoqi persevered and the leveling was successful.]
Shen Tingyu’s expression choked, it was indeed Xiao Qi, only it was so stupid that it almost failed to upgrade.
Shen Tingyu suddenly remembered the abnormality report that Xiao Qi mentioned when they first met, "Xiao Qi, have I received compensation for the abnormality that I found in the voodoo doll?"
[Gah! Abnormal... compensation?!]
Xiao Qi's cheerful voice was stuck for a second, and then it sounded again. Shen Tingyu suddenly became unhappy. Could it be that the system had forgotten it?
Because of an error in their system, she had to perform the mission while wearing the skin of a voodoo doll, which directly increased the difficulty of the mission several times.
It is only natural to compensate myself, why did it take so long? Shen Tingyu's eyes became a little sharper, "Xiao Qi, you didn't forget it."
(▼へ▼メ)
Xiao Qi (sweating profusely): Host, please wait a moment. Xiao Qi will check.
[Host, Xiaoqi has checked. The abnormality report Xiaoqi filed is still under review by the main system...]
The system's voice faded away, and Shen Tingyu crossed his arms, very dissatisfied.
"What a delay! If I remember correctly, Xiaoqi, you have already submitted the report since the first day I came into this world."
"Isn't your main system high-tech? Why is the review process slower than a snail? When will the review be completed?"
She was so tired that she almost forgot about it. Damn it.
[Host, don't be angry. Hmm, Xiao Qi will go and urge them now, but Xiao Qi can't guarantee when the main system will issue compensation...]
[Sorry, host, it’s all Xiaoqi’s fault for forgetting]
Otherwise, when Xiao Qi returns to the main divine space to upgrade this time, he can directly urge the main system. Perhaps... the compensation reward can be issued immediately.
Shen Tingyu took a deep breath, feeling a little exhausted, and waved his hand: “Forget it.”
"At this point, compensation is just a drop in the bucket. Could anything be more unfortunate than this?"
"Xiao Qi, tell me, have you become more powerful after the upgrade?"
Rather than the illusory abnormal compensation, she was more curious about the new function that she could know now.
[Hehe... Of course, host, Xiaoqi can now hold more energy and looks even better.]
“No more…?”
Shen Tingyu's fist hardened. Is that what she asked? "I'm asking if there are any new features after you upgrade."
"Can you help me change my body now?"
