Lan Ruoyue: ...
"Is there something wrong with her brain? I spelled it out so clearly, and she's still asking what it has to do with me?"
The system said, "Maybe her brain really doesn't work very well, and she genuinely can't understand you? Just be more direct. You're shamelessly snatching it anyway, so there's no need to be polite."
Lan Ruoyue glared fiercely at the system and briefly traded barbs with it.
What did it mean, shamelessly snatching it? She was giving Jiang Shuyue a chance to shine. Ordinary people couldn't get an opportunity like this even if they wanted one.
Jiang Liuli keenly caught the tiny changes in Lan Ruoyue's expression.
Jiang Shuyue: [Huahua, look at her cheeks twitching, like she's got vitiligo. I bet she's communicating with her system.]
Huahua: [I'll bet one copper coin they're arguing. They probably even cursed each other out. I really don't know why that little system bonded with Lan Ruoyue. She's arrogant, won't listen to advice, and, most importantly, her brain doesn't work. Isn't bonding with her just asking for trouble?]
Jiang Shuyue thought it over calmly and felt she had found one unique possibility.
[I think her system might be a self-harm system. Instead of enjoying a perfectly good life, it insists on tackling difficult challenges to satisfy its own sense of glory.]
Huahua pondered this and felt she had a very good point.
There were countless systems, and quite a few had developed independent system personalities. Since their personalities were initially modeled on human traits, and there were masochists among humans, perhaps there were some among systems too.
Huahua couldn't help shuddering and drifted farther away, wrapped in a ball of light.
Huahua: [Uh~~ Host, I've heard stupidity is contagious. We'd better keep our distance from her!]
Jiang Shuyue:
