5 Can I ever eat human food? (1/2)
The system was worried. It was designed for humans, but he failed his first task. It didn't want to be deleted or disappear with Huang Qiuyan. In its desperate moment, it kept the host's heart beating. It let the Fae magic from the arrow and the venom from the vampire along with the strange celestial energy to keep the host alive. As a result, the host turned into a vampire. A strange one.
Dr Jane Doe had already abandoned the system after its first failure. But the system refused to be deleted. It had its own consciousness and thoughts. When the host took the candy, she managed to deliver the new energy to the nearly dead system in the psychic plane. It activated and installed itself properly this time. The system carefully changed its configuration to become compatible with the vampire's body. There was no way to remove the system from her mind since the system was deeply embedded in her psychic pool. Even Dr Jane Doe couldn't delete it or take it away from her now. If she turned into an immortal, didn't it mean that system was immortal too?
Dr Jane Doe had no idea what she created. This system was one of its kind. Since it was the apocalypse assistance system, it had a strong survival instinct. It could evolve itself and changed its own configuration to meet the user demands and needs. In Dr Jane Doe's world, the system designers and systems were quite popular and in demand. The more advanced and conscious a system was, the more it was wanted by the people. In a world where systems were not rare and constantly improved to meet user demands, Dr Jane Doe wanted to reach a different level. When one of the systems predicted the end in a distant future, she started working on an apocalypse assistance system. But there was no way to test the system realistically in her world. Dr Jane Doe wanted perfection. So, she sent the system to the psychic plane to find a similar world where the apocalypse was arriving. In the psychic plane, time ran differently than in the human world. The system was able to find Huang Qiuyan's world and informed Dr Jane Doe. After much consideration, she chose Huang Qiuyan because she seemed like an average human. She wanted to see how long the system could keep the candidate alive.
Dr Jane Doe didn't expect that humans from this world were slow and dimwitted compared to the humans from her world. The system needed more time and mental energy to install herself. Still, she didn't ask the system to return. The system failed to install itself in time and Huang Qiuyan died. After seeing that, she abandoned the system and started working on another one.
[System: Dear Host, please don't take this girl with you. If you cannot kill her because of your human morals, please don't adopt her as your pet.]
[Host: System, mind your own business.]
[System: Dear Host, my business is your well being.]
”You have a family, Aunty?” Fu Mian asked doubtfully. ”Usually, the converts live alone.”
”My family doesn't know that I am a convert.” Huang Qiuyan shrugged her shoulders non-nonchalantly. She reached for Fu Mian's hand.
”Come, we will run to the car. Those humans are heading this way. We should leave before they reach here.”
Fu Mian avoided her hand deftly and scorned at her.
”Aunty, your clothes are dirty and torn. There is a hole in the middle of your dress. You are not thinking of going to your family like this. You should clean up and change your clothes.”
[System: Dear Host, you should change clothes and wear something that covers you well. Your cultivation is low. You have no tolerance for the sun.]
[Host: Can I ever eat human food?]
[System: Dear Host, you can eat any food if you reach the first immortal rank. At that rank, you will surpass an ancient pure-blooded vampire.]
Huang Qiuyan finally saw hope. To be able to eat her favourite meal, she would certainly work hard.
[System: Dear Host, eat the candies. You will be able to reach rank two if you eat all the candies that this item is keeping in her pockets.]
