Chapter 350 : Green Plum Meets Wine 1 (1/2)

Shi Sheng lived to about 60 in that world. Ling Yue departed before her.

After returning to the System Space, Shi Sheng drew her sword and began hacking at the screen.

It was pretty much the only thing there to hack anyway, seeing as how the Space was devoid of anything else.

Once Shi Sheng was done hacking away, she sat on the ground and stared off into the distance.

System was scared into silence for a long while.

‘Host’s temper is getting more unpredictable…’

[Host…]

Shi Sheng turned to look at the screen that was back in perfect condition. “I want to see your Master.”

‘For fuck’s sake! What’s the point of hiding behind this system? Roll out here and face me(lz) like a man, if ya got the balls!’

[……] ‘Host, such unexpected changes in topic really catch me(bxt) off guard…’

System remained silent for a long time.

[I’m sorry Host… You can’t meet my Master yet.] This was the answer System gave in the end.

“Reason?”

‘Not seeing me(bbb)? Are they scared? Or is it something else entirely?’

[……] ‘Master said not to say too much. Don’t say too much, don’t say too much…’

Shi Sheng tapped the screen with her sword. “You broke? The hell? This broken-down piece of trash should’ve been sent to the recycling centre long ago.”

[……] ‘I’m not broken! Master said I’m not allowed to say too much to you! Otherwise I’ll reveal stuff!’

System swiftly displayed her stats.

‘Fuck! You took another 4k morality points from me(lz)! What’d I(lz) do this time?’

[After your death, the Jun Clan fell into disarray and vanished into the annals of history soon after.]

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘So this is my fault too? I(bbb) protest! Don’t think that you can spout bullshit just because you’re the system!

I could protect the Jun Clan for a time, but there’s no way I could protect them forever! Their fates rely on their own hard work!’

[…And it caused the ripple effect that destabilised the world.]

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘How the hell does that have anything to do with me(bbb)?’

System fell silent for a while before speaking. […You didn’t leave behind an heir for the Jun Clan.]

Shi Sheng frowned. She hadn’t deliberately taken measures to prevent pregnancy, but she also hadn’t borne any children in the worlds so far. It wasn’t her fault that she didn’t have any kids!

‘What’s the meaning of putting all the blame on me, eh?!’

[Anyway, it’s all your fault.] System began being unreasonable.

[Do you wish to enter the next mission?]

[Initialising transfer…]

‘Fuck your grandpa, can’t you at least wait a moment?!’

Once it had sent Shi Sheng off, System could finally let out a (figurative) sigh of relief. That had been really taxing on its non-existent nerves.

The screen suddenly flickered several times, before a blurred human figure appeared on it.

[Master…]

“There’s been some issues with Feng Ci’s memories. Go deal with them.”

[Yes.]

“In future, no matter what she asks, don’t answer her. Got it?”

[Master…] System hesitated. [You…seem very afraid of her?]

The other party fell silent for a while. “You’ll understand what kind of person she is in the future. Then you’ll know what kind of power she holds. It’s pointless to tell you now.”
