Chapter 20 Chapter 20 The Third Wish
[Beep—The interface entrance has been opened, and the current status is normal.]
[Channel D232 has been closed. Vulnerability detection results are normal.]
…
【Welcome back, Wish System 05. 】
System 05 returned to the familiar space and walked towards the core area on the white light spot. The main system was still the same as before, and the stacked screens showed a silver-haired boy in a white uniform.
[Wish System 05, congratulations on completing the task.]
System 05 looked back and uttered a suspicious "hmm".
Main System: [Is there any problem? ]
System 05: [Are the vulnerability detection results really okay? You should check again to avoid any strange things sneaking in.]
The main system actually checked again: [Everything is normal.]
It then said: [Please upload data and begin mission report.]
[Mission World: No. D232]
[Mission Target: Li Shanyue]
[Goal Wish: To gain the love of character ※Jinglin※]
[Task Analysis: Prioritize improving the host's overall attributes, then create a large number of random events to gradually make the character ※Jinglin※ develop a favorable impression on the host, completing the mission. Random events include but are not limited to - rainy nights, injuries, dreams, etc.]
Main System: [Your mission was completed very well. We will then assign scores and distribute rewards based on your completion and the host's status. Please allow Wish System 05 to rest for a moment.]
System 05 returned to the empty room. It lay there for a while, silently estimating the mission's income and expenditure. It should have made a small profit. If it weren't for Chen Mu, it would have completed the mission even earlier. Wait...Where was Chen Mu? There was no way he could really catch up.
[Beep—Wish System 05 scoring completed.]
System 05 immediately returned to the core area.
Mission World: D232 Difficulty Level: D
[Mission Target: Li Shanyue Difficulty Level: C]
[Goal Wish: Obtain the Love of Jinglin ※Difficulty Level: C]
[Target completion degree: S]
What was displayed on the main system's screen at this time was exactly what happened next.
Li Shanyue and Jinglin were admitted to their dream universities. Jinglin started his own business while still in college, and upon graduation, he had already established a strong presence in the market. Jinglin's parents initially tried to discourage him, but as his career progressed, they came to accept his ideas and offered their support. After all, a son who could start a new business was undoubtedly a better choice than one who could only maintain the status quo.
Li Shanyue and Jing Lin have had some quarrels and disagreements, but they are able to get along with each other. Managing a relationship is a skill, and they are both willing to work hard for each other. The longer they get along, the more they understand each other, and the deeper their feelings become.
In addition, Gong Yuan's health gradually recovered, and he was finally able to go out freely like an ordinary person, running and jumping. With the protection of his family, he had no worries about food and clothing throughout his life. So he began to devote himself to studying folk customs, traveled to various places for archaeological excavations, and lived a pure life.
[Task Rating: A Reward Points: 10,000 points]
[Reward Skill Card: Face the Soul (Rank A)]
[Face the Soul: Explore the Target's True Thoughts]
[However, people deceive themselves most often, and then others.]
[Points required to use: 100 points]
Because the difficulty was so low, the overall score wasn't high, but the rewards were far greater than expected, and he even got a new skill card. Each skill card he got was related to the world and the quest itself, and [Facing the Soul]... wasn't bad for an A-rank card.
System 05 lightly tapped and accepted the skill card. It thought of Chen Mu again. The S20 world was one of the few cultivation worlds. If it completed the mission, if the score was high enough, it could obtain many skill cards unique to the cultivation world and a huge amount of points. But all of this was gone because of Chen Mu!
System 05: [Main System, I encountered obstacles from hosts in other worlds while completing this mission. Please investigate Chen Mu, the host of World S20.]
The main system query speed was very fast: [Chen Mu has died, no relevant information. ]
System 05: [He followed me to the new world!]
[The main system did not find any abnormal data. Please provide more detailed clues.]
System 05: [Character ※ Gong Yuan ※]
After a while, the main system said: [No relevant information.]
"Are you capable of this?" System 05 said anxiously, "He jumped right in my face! I think he has bad intentions towards me. As the main system, you should at least ensure the personal safety of your employees!"
[Of course, the main system will protect the safety of the wish system.]
System 05 stared at the pile of screens. White lights flickered calmly on the screens, and there was no other response.
This kind of boss is totally unreliable.
When maintenance system SE7 came to find system 05, he saw it lying on the ground again, with its limbs spread out, staring at the ceiling expressionlessly.
"I'm here to perform routine maintenance on you." The blue cube floated upwards, extending a transparent tentacle, soothing System 05's body. "...You seem to be in a good mood."
"I'm still savoring the joy of completing the mission."
"Then why are you lying here?"
"The main system only lets me work, but doesn't provide me with insurance." System 05 turned to look at the blue square, thought for a moment, and said, "It can't even find a wandering soul. Is the main system failing? It needs to be optimized. Replacing the main system is not a bad idea. I nominate myself..."
"The main system can hear it."
"That's for it to hear."
Maintenance System SE7 smiled, and the blue cube floated in front of the silver-haired boy. He said softly, "Since it's just a wandering spirit, why not just kill it? It won't affect the mission."
System 05 was slightly startled, sat up, and adjusted his cuffs.
SE7: "Where are you going?"
"To the next world," System 05 said. "I want to see if he can still come with me."
core area.
Countless screens lit up in front of System 05. It decided to choose a world with a higher difficulty level. Soon, it selected world number A47.
Main System: [Are you sure you want to select world number A47?]
System 05: [Confirmed.]
The other screens disappeared, leaving only the world number A47 enlarged in front of it.
[Beep—The interface exit has been opened, and the current status is normal.]
[Channel A47 has been opened, and the vulnerability detection result is normal.]
System 05 wondered, is this really normal? It always had a bad feeling.
[Wish System 05 is being launched——]
The space vibrated slightly once again. This familiar scene immediately alerted System 05, who shouted, "He's sneaked in again! Check it out!"
Main System: [Wish System 05 Launching——]
System 05: [Wait!]
The channel opened, and System 05 fell towards the new world. It raised its hand to grab a handful, but could only watch as the main system moved further and further away from it.
【Wish System 05 launched successfully.】
I wish you all the best.
This was not a smooth start. System 05 confirmed that Chen Mu had caught up, but the channel had been closed. The next moment, it had arrived at world number A47.
…
【Come... come... I want...】
[Death...Demon...The Past...]
It's looking at me!
【Everyone is here, everyone is here! 】
System 05 moved uncomfortably. As soon as it came to this world, it heard many whispering voices, mixed with fear and anger. These strong curses were like a huge chain that tightly grasped it.
Even in the cruel world of cultivation, System 05 had never felt so many extremely negative intentions. The surging malice was like a jungle of swords, it walked on the blades, pulled by various intentions.
[Come down...] System 05 heard the strongest wish and floated over.
[The insect nest has matured... Your loyal believers pray here... Come...]
He was a thin middle-aged man who was praying at the moment.
[Strong desire detected, wish system binding, system connection in progress——]
[Hello host, System 05 is at your service.]
After System 05 finished speaking, the middle-aged man shuddered violently, his entire body trembling violently. He looked ahead and cried out, "God... has descended... The Worm Mother... My Worm Mother..."
【I am Wish System 05.】
The middle-aged man ignored its words, repeating only words like "The Worm Mother's Arrival." System 05 looked around. The middle-aged man was now in a study, surrounded by tall bookshelves and lit only by dim candlelight. Various books were scattered on the floor, and before him was a magic circle. Perhaps due to the psychological trauma left by Chen Mu, System 05 felt a little uncomfortable seeing such things. However, the style of this magic circle was slightly different. In the center was a crude stone relief, depicting simple yet strange images and mysterious text.
A world where magic exists? But other magical worlds don't seem so crazy.
The middle-aged man suddenly jumped up, gesticulating excitedly, "I knew it! I saw it! I knew it!"
Oops, this person has mental issues.
System 05 repeated: [I can grant you one wish.]
The middle-aged man who had been acting crazy suddenly calmed down. He stared at the stone relief and said devoutly, "My wish is to save the holy city."
"For this I will give everything: my body, my soul, my will, my..."
Before System 05 could state its conditions, the middle-aged man suddenly picked up a knife and resolutely stabbed his own heart.
"Mother Worm."
His eyes widened as consciousness faded.
[I've already mentioned this, I'm not a worm mother.] System 05 looked down at the middle-aged man's corpse. It submitted a request to the main interface and checked. This situation didn't count as a mission failure; it could still use the middle-aged man's body to fulfill his wish.
And in this case, there is no need to consider the host's status after the mission is completed. After all, there is nothing worse than death.
