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 a.s.sistance 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 a.s.sistance 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.]
Huang Qiuyan ignored the restless host. She smiled kindly at Fu Mian and said, "I have to visit my family first. We can leave for your home later.
"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 surpa.s.s 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.]
"Aunty, what are you waiting for?" Fu Mian asked.
"Nothing..." Huang Qiuyan felt odd to ask for the candies. She decided to change her clothes first.
"Little Doll, what kind of person is your father?" Huang Qiuyan couldn"t help but ask when they were walking toward the clothing section.
"He is the world"s best father." Fu Mian smiled. "I am sure that he is looking for me right now. He will find me soon."
Huang Qiuyan couldn"t help but feel weird. Her adopted father was the one who kidnapped her for his own gain. He was a freaking pure-blooded vampire. But she didn"t trust the system"s information. She decided that it was better to meet her father and confirm it first.
She wasn"t happy about meeting vampires anyway. Pure-blooded or fake-blooded, they were freaking bloodsuckers. She forgot that she was one too.
She found gloves for Fu Mian, but she didn"t take them. She was avoiding Huang Qiuyan"s touch. Huang Qiuyan couldn"t help but feel awkward. Was she that dirty? She took some new clothes from the racks and went to find a changing room. When she opened the door of the changing room, she saw that a woman squatting on the floor.
"h.e.l.lo?"
The woman looked up at her. Her s.h.i.+rt was bloodied. Her skin was paler than Huang Qiuyan"s skin.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Huang Qiuyan screamed on the top of her lungs. She immediately tried closed the door. But the vampire was faster. She attacked Huang Qiuyan with her claw.
[System: Dear Host, this is a Rank 1 Vampire Zombie. Your chances of winning are low. Kindly run away. A Rank 1 Vampire Zombie is five times stronger than a red level Rank 1 Convert.]
Huang Qiuyan cursed her bad luck and the system in her mind. Her neck was bleeding. The vampire zombie thing slowly walked toward her prey.
[Host: Why is it attacking me for G.o.d sake? I am a vampire too, aren"t I?]
[System: Dear Host, these vampire zombies are a new breed of vampires. They can drink from any creature with blood running through its vein. The vampire zombie virus inside you is mutated by me. That"s why you are a special type of vampire and only one of your kind at the moment. In future, these vampire zombies might-]
[Host: Argh! I don"t need a lecture.]
The vampire zombie stopped in the midway. It sniffed the air and scrunched her nose. It immediately turned to the right and dashed away. Huang Qiuyan ran behind the vampire zombie. She saw her stop abruptly in front of Fu Mian. Fu Mian screamed when she saw the vampire.
"Ugly Aunty, save me." She cried with tears in her eyes.
