Within that mysterious space of consciousness, the system was in a state of inexplicable tension. The host's call struck its "heart" like a heavy hammer. The yellow-skinned, mouse-like system began to pace erratically in place, resembling a runaway little ball of fluff.
It kept muttering to itself, "What should I do? How foolish! I shouldn't have made that boast." At this moment, it was filled with anxiety about its current predicament. Copying a complete soul fragment was an almost impossible task for it. Even if it managed to do it with all its might, it would mean consuming most of its energy reserves. For the system, this was like exchanging a precious gem for an ordinary stone—a terrible deal.
A thought flashed through its mind: to ask "it" for help. But this idea was ruthlessly suppressed as soon as it surfaced. Memories flooded back, and "it's" disdainful look and dissatisfied words were like sharp thorns piercing the system's "heart." Every delay in a task, every slowdown in progress, became a reason for "it" to criticize.
Moreover, so much time has passed, and the task of reactivating the Five Elemental Orbs is still not even half complete—it's an absolutely terrible report card. The system can almost imagine...
If he were to ask "it" for help, what kind of ridicule and harsh rejection would he be met? So, despite his current difficult situation, the system reluctantly abandoned the idea and continued to wander in its own anxiety.
The system was frowning and racking its brains for a perfect excuse to fob off Zina when that guy's voice came through like a cannonball again, this time with an even more hostile tone, full of threat: "System, if you keep hiding like a coward, I'll just pretend there was no mission in the future."
"Hmph, this world isn't so bad. I can go back to earning my little bit of money. I can live just fine without you."
Upon hearing this, the system felt a jolt, as if a boulder had been thrown into a calm lake. Its familiar mechanical voice carried a hint of annoyance and helplessness.
A buzzing sound filled Qi Na's mind: "Host, what exactly do you want? Don't do anything reckless. This is a cooperative relationship. You can't just quit like that. If you do this, it's like pushing me off a cliff. I'll fall and be smashed to pieces."
"Hmph, System, you still have the nerve to ask me? Shouldn't I be asking you what you want? You promised me back then that you would give Fei Ling eternal life and make her a true fairy."
Back then, you were like an omnipotent god, giving me endless hope. And now? Are you trying to back out? If so, your credibility with me is completely gone. From now on, whatever tasks you issue, I'll ignore them completely, as if they never happened. Don't expect me to listen to you again.
"I'd give anything for Feiling, but you're going to shatter my hopes. I will never let this go." Zina's face was serious, her delicate features filled with determination. She crossed her arms.
Standing in the consciousness space (if such a space exists), she was like a warrior defending her rights, her words carrying an undeniable resolve, leaving no room for negotiation. Her eyes burned with a furious fire that seemed poised to devour the system.
After hearing Qi Na's words, the system was so angry that it bounced around in the invisible "mind space" like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Its small body trembled slightly with rage.
If it had a physical form, its face would probably be red with anger right now. It thought bitterly, "That despicable host, he's really pushing his luck! If I weren't desperately in need of energy right now, I would have already used those 'special methods' taught by my predecessors to deal with this disobedient host who keeps threatening me."
Find an opportunity to secretly eliminate her. I am the most beloved little commander of the advanced civilization's main system, always pampered and spoiled. When have I ever suffered such humiliation? Now I'm being manipulated like this; it's truly unfair.
It felt like a high and mighty king suddenly being ridden on by a tiny ant; the humiliation made me want to get rid of her immediately. But there was nothing I could do; the situation was beyond my control. The system reluctantly compromised, saying, "Host, I can fulfill our previous agreement, but you must complete the mission first and obtain the power of the Spiritual Rhinoceros."
As you know, performing such advanced operations as copying soul fragments consumes a lot of my energy. My current energy reserves are like a small pond that is about to dry up, and I can't withstand such a drain.
The most powerful spiritual force in the world, like a timely rain, perfectly replenishes the power I lost during the replication process; it's the only way right now. I'm trading my dignity and future with her; I hope she won't let me down.
Upon hearing the system's words, Qi Na was completely stunned, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. The power of spiritual resonance! That was a legendary, powerful force, like Wang Mo's super cheat ability—how could it be obtained so easily? Her brows furrowed tightly, her eyes filled with worry and helplessness.
She thought, "This power of spiritual resonance is like a star hanging in the sky, seemingly close at hand, yet actually unattainable. How can I obtain it? If I can't get it, Fei Ling won't be able to become a true fairy, and I can't let her down." However, her clever little mind quickly began to work at lightning speed. She carefully recalled the plot of the original anime, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She remembered that after Wang Mo obtained the power of spiritual resonance, she seemed to have generously shared some of it.
