Chapter 656 - 656: The System Was Really Quite Miserable

Otherwise, Jiang Xun might not be able to eat her fill.

After eating her fill, Jiang Xun had the strength to take a bath.

She handed the food boxes to Mufeng for him to clean up.

Soaking in the bathtub, Jiang Xun let out a comfortable sigh. The muscles on her body slowly relaxed.

She recalled the system’s words and her expression turned cold.

“System, come out.”

The system was speechless.

It really wanted to play dead now.

However, the system could not escape. It could only appear carefully.

Its voice was full of flattery. “Host, you’re looking for me?”

When Jiang Xun heard the system’s voice, her expression turned even colder. “I still have something to say.”

“Yes, what do you want to say?”

Hearing the system’s careful voice, Jiang Xun’s heart was calm. She only said, “Earlier, you said that I couldn’t tell anyone about the system. If I wanted to say something, other than receiving punishment and warning, the system could also make me unable to speak or write. I couldn’t tell anyone about the existence of the system in any form.”

“Yes.”

The system didn’t understand. Had this matter angered Jiang Xun? Why did Jiang Xun want to tell Mufeng about its existence so badly?

“So the system can actually control me at will?”

Even though Jiang Xun had only voiced her thoughts silently in her mind, the system could still sense the displeasure in her attitude.

The system finally understood why Jiang Xun was unhappy.

“Can the system control my actions at will? If you want me to be unable to speak, then I won’t be able to speak. If you want me to be unable to write, then

I won’t be able to write.”

“If that’s the case, then wouldn’t I become the system’s puppet instead? Originally, due to the system, I had to constantly do missions. However, in order to survive and stabilize my soul, I will accept the missions and complete them. These are not a problem.”

“But the system can actually control me directly. It can make me do whatever it wants me to do. It can make me unable to move if it doesn’t want me to do anything. If that’s the case, then wouldn’t I be the system’s puppet? If I can’t even control my own body, I’d rather fail the mission and die on the spot.” The system was speechless.

The system did not dare to say that as long as Mufeng was around, how could Jiang Xun bear to die?

Jiang Xun was no longer alone when she first arrived here.

If Jiang Xun had said those words at that time, the system would have really been afraid.

But now, Jiang Xun had Mufeng, family, and friends.

She already had too many ties, so she couldn’t bear to die just like that.

But even so, the system still did not dare to provoke Jiang Xun.

It did not know why.

Jiang Xun’s death threat was obviously nothing, but it was still afraid of Jiang Xun.

This was probably because Jiang Xun had given it too much pressure for a long time, so it had become afraid.

The system quickly explained, “Host, you don’t have to worry. The system doesn’t have such authority.”

“Then you said that you would control my body and not let me say it out loud?”

The system replied, “This is only a passive function that is automatically triggered. It is not something that the system can actively implement.”

The system said, “Our system doesn’t have much authority. We need to apply for everything. The system mission and mission rewards were set by the mainframe in advance. Similarly, the punishment that is automatically triggered for violating the system rules was also automatically set by the mainframe. It is not a punishment that the system could voluntarily give. Moreover, even the mainframe could not take the initiative to carry out punishments. These programs were set up in the mainframe and were input into the system by the mainframe. They were not written by the mainframe, so even the mainframe can’t do this.”

“It’s all set in advance, right?”

“Yes, that is correct,” the system replied.

“Then, you applied for some of the conditions I raised previously and got them approved for me. Who did you apply to?”

The system replied, “The system will upload the host’s request to the mainframe. The mainframe has a set of programs to calculate and judge whether the host’s request has met the approval criteria. The mainframe has its own algorithm. The system is only responsible for conveying and implementing the results.”

Jiang Xun: “I understand. You’re just a small fry. Nothing you say counts. You’re only responsible for being a liaison between the host and the mainframe. You can’t even be considered a middleman.”

Because the system couldn’t even earn the difference.

‘I’mnK1ng about It tms way, It was really quite nuseraD1e.

“And the other function is to answer the host’s questions. These are the only two functions. As for power, you have none. Is that so?” The system was speechless.

The system replied, “Although it hurts, you’re right.”

The system replied, “As for the warnings and punishments that are triggered passively for violating the rules, they are also programs written in the mainframe. Neither the mainframe nor our system can interfere with the decision. The mainframe and the system will not be able to interfere with any of the host’s actions.”

Jiang Xun said, “Alright, I’ll trust you for the time being.”

The system said, “It’s true. We systems have been programmed to not lie. I have to answer the host’s questions truthfully. Therefore, every time you ask me a question, whether it’s good news or bad news, I never hide anything. Including the warning this time, if I didn’t say it, the host wouldn’t know either. But as long as the host asks, I will definitely answer truthfully.”

“If I don’t ask, you won’t tell me?” Jiang Xun asked.

The system replied, “Our system also has rules. We can’t reveal this on our own accord. It’s only because you’re smart that you asked me. When the host asks, the system can answer. This way, you would not be at a disadvantage because you do not understand the system rules. So far, you are the most thoughtful one among all the hosts.”

Jiang Xun thought to herself that the system seemed to have become cunning. It actually knew how to suck up to her, even though the traces of flattery were a little suspicious.

Jiang Xun said, “Understood. The system can answer, but it won’t take the initiative to say it. The system replied, “You’re so smart.”

Jiang Xun was speechless.

The system was really too frightened by Jiang Xun’s displeasure just now.

Now that Jiang Xun’s attitude had finally returned to normal, wouldn’t the system hurry up and flatter her?

If Jiang Xun was happy, its days would be better!

Yuexi left the Jiang family and returned to the place where she and Xiaoze lived together.

Xiaoze didn’t go to work today and waited for her good news at home.

Therefore, Yuexi didn’t dare to delay.

She strolled around outside and tried her best to stall for time, but she still had to come back to face Xiaoze.

As soon as Yuexi entered, Xiaoze grabbed her arm and urged her, “How is it? Where were the documents? You got them, right?”

As he spoke, Xiaoze snatched Yuexi’s bag..
