The first three system notifications looked perfectly normal. It was the last one that shocked Fang Cheng.
[System Upgrade in Progress]
He had been in this world for so long, yet this was the first time he'd learned the system could be upgraded.
But this thing was more like an auxiliary cheat than a system. It had no intelligence, didn't issue quests, and only provided a few functions.
He wondered if it might get a little smarter after the upgrade. At the very least, it could learn how much one plus one was.
As Fang Cheng stared at the system upgrade, he suddenly noticed that his number of lives was dropping.
He'd had 94 plus 12, for a total of 106 lives. But as the system upgraded, the number gradually decreased, falling from 106 to 104, then to 102.
"Shit, so upgrading deducts my lives?"
Fang Cheng stared at it nervously, afraid that the hundred-plus lives he'd worked so hard to get would be drained away. He was also worried that a hundred-plus lives wouldn't be enough.
Soon, the number of lives dropped to 100 and stopped. The system upgrade progress also stalled at 13.99%, without moving at all.
Fang Cheng: ...
You couldn't do this to him. Either finish the upgrade in one go or don't upgrade at all. What was the point of stopping halfway?

This was the best outcome. At least it wouldn't drain all his lives in one go.
Fang Cheng was now looking forward to the
