The atmosphere became awkward and a stalemate ensued.
The system's voice remained cold and emotionless, echoing in this dark world, each word reverberating and stimulating Lin Yang's eardrums.
"Host, are you planning to abandon the mission?"
He is not human, but a system, devoid of any emotions.
Advanced technology uses a complex set of code to create a system that operates solely based on the user's command lines.
How could I possibly stand in her shoes and empathize with her thoughts?
"No, I didn't intend to abandon the mission, I just... I just..." Lin Yang quickly explained, after all, abandoning the mission was equivalent to mission failure, and she knew best what the outcome would be.
But later on, she couldn't explain it clearly.
But what is it?
After so many days, it turns out that Xu Chengzhi isn't as bad as the system said, and hasn't even done anything wrong, right?
But, is it just that you can't bear to part with it?
No, she didn't dare say that to the system's face.
In this case, the system will inevitably determine that the task has been abandoned.
"Let me think about it some more, please?" In the end, she changed her tune and tried to negotiate with the system.
"Su..." The system was about to refuse in a businesslike manner, but stopped abruptly.
After a half-minute silence, he spoke again, his voice lower and more approachable, "Alright, host, let's set a one-week limit. If there's still no answer after a week, then I'll automatically consider you to have abandoned the mission."
A week is enough time for her to weigh the pros and cons and then come to the system on her own initiative.
"Okay, how should I contact you then?" Lin Yang was silent for a moment before agreeing to the system's request.
"When you..." the system thought for a moment, "I will naturally appear when you have murderous intent."
Killing intent...
How could she possibly have murderous intent towards Xu Chengzhi?
The system didn't wait for her reply. The darkness slowly faded, and light enveloped Lin Yang's eyes once more.
The system is sending her to the real world.
After Lin Yang's consciousness completely disappeared into that dark world, another consciousness that had been hidden in this space of thought quietly emerged from a corner.
"Master." The system's cold, mechanical voice sounded again, no longer devoid of emotion, but subtly conveying a sense of respect.
"Hmm," the consciousness controlling the system behind the scenes responded faintly.
"Master, I don't understand. Why did you give the host a week to consider? She's just one of our test subjects, isn't she? Just like me, I'm also a test subject." The system, composed of a bunch of digital code, had quietly developed its own consciousness, and it could be curious and have doubts.
"Don't compare yourself to her, you're not worthy." Even though it was a system that she had painstakingly researched and developed, that consciousness wouldn't allow the system to describe her in such a way.
"I'm sorry, Master, I overstepped my bounds. Uh..."
A ray of light slowly rose from the darkness; it was that consciousness that was operating, suspending the original form of the system in mid-air.
A bright light illuminated a complex array of code updating and replacing itself in mid-air, suggesting that the system was running non-stop.
Another set of conflicting code is attacking the system, causing it to whine in pain.
This is the punishment that consciousness inflicts on the system for its slip of the tongue; the pain will last for half an hour.
Conflicting and disordered code can cause great problems for the system.
This was the first time that consciousness had punished the system it had created itself.
"Anyway, it'll be over soon." The consciousness left these words and then disappeared from that thought space.
All that remained was a code screen in the air, a scene of chaos.
"Warning, warning, system malfunction..."
