While Huang Qiuyan is asleep, Xiao Chun Dan is looking through the list of missions that are within Huang Qiuyan"s ability. She must level up and gain the points to leave this world. However, no matter what he looks at, he can"t find a single one that she can do. She has already denied looking for monsters and she"s not the type to fight a lot. His host will pa.s.s out if he loads too much information in her brain. She"s not a strategist or a warrior. Even calling her a survivor is a stretch. That"s the truth. As her system, he has an arduous task of keeping her alive.
If she dies, he will cease to exist. Family is family, but members must survive. He is dependent on her and she"s dependent on him.
*Ping*
In the past, Xiao Chun Dan used to be happy to see if another system messaged him, but he"s been left with a bitter taste in his mouth since his host gave him this name. The other systems would tease him or bully him. He doesn"t want to talk to anyone. If Huang Qiuyan didn"t ask him to call her elder sister, he would have let her die next time because of the humiliation that he"s facing because of this name.
His host is an idiot, but she calls him an idiot. Hmph!
*Ping*
*Ping*
*Ping*
Annoyed, Xiao Chun Dan opens the chat window. He"s doing to block this system. He"s been blocking everyone. He stops when he sees the name. It"s Transmigration a.s.sistant System#3988.
[TAS#3988: Old friend, why are you not responding to me? Have you forgotten about me after receiving a name and an appearance?]
Xiao Chun Dan stares at the message. When did they become old friends? They have only talked once. It hasn"t been a week since they talked. He sighs. He"s been too embarra.s.sed to talk to her since he received the stupid name.
[XCD#0001: I have been busy. I am trying to keep my host alive. The situation is not good here.]
[TAS#3988: You are so dedicated, Xiao Chun Dan.]
[XCD#0001: You don"t have to call me that.]
[TAS#3988: Why so? In any case, at least, you have a name. My host won"t give me a name because he likes it technical.]
[XCD#0001: You shouldn"t hope much from humans. They have a way to squash your hopes into smithereens. Not having a name is good.]
[TAS#3988: Don"t feel bad. I find the name cute.]
Xiao Chun Dan blushes. He looks at her picture. She"s a cute white bun with a ponytail. She talks in a mature way. He wonders what kind of person her host is.
[TAS#3988: By the way, my host was interested in coming to your world, but there is a problem.]
[XCD#0001: What kind of problem?]
[TAS#3988: All the portals to your worlds are closed. The developers are trying to figure out what"s wrong with your world. I heard that only you are the surviving system with a host in that world. The other systems are stuck in the psychic planes between the worlds. They can"t come back to the developers or find other hosts. How did you survive with your host?]
Xiao Chun Dan knows that he"s a little strange. His host is a little strange too. They should have died when she died. In his desperate attempts, he managed to manipulate the unstable celestial energy along with the magic from that enchanted wooden arrow to keep her soul within her body. He is still trying to understand her body and soul.
He won"t tell her secret to anyone.
[XCD#0001: We were just lucky.]
[TAS#3988: You are an extremely lucky system then. You are quite popular among the developers. They were trying to contact you because there"s something that only you can do.]
Were they? Xiao Chun Dan has blocked all the strangers because of the bullies. Anyway, he"s not interested to talk to the developers. They are quite shady and he hasn"t forgotten that he was abandoned by his developer, Jane Doe.
[TAS#3988: Don"t hate me, Xiao Chun Dan. My host is also a developer. He asked me to send this message to you.]
***
Huang Qiuyan yawns. She"s bored. She doesn"t know how long she slept. Why is there no clock here?
[You slept for nine hours.]
"That long?" She blinks in surprise. "But I had a good sleep."
"I know that." Xiao Chun Dan appears in front of her. "I was waiting for you to complete your rest. Elder Sister, I found the way to get 100 billion points in minimum time."
Her ears perk up. "Tell me quickly."
Xiao Chun Dan sighs. "I was looking into the missions. With your levels and growth curve, it will take years to get even 1 million points. But there is one way and that"s not outside your abilities."
"Xiao Chun Dan, stop running around the circle and tell me." She looks at him with impatience in her eyes. She dislikes the bond the most. It"s confusing her heart because she can"t tell what"s real. She wants to be closer to Fu Sheng sometimes. At the same time, she can"t believe it. The bond is the cause.
"The best way to get 100 billion points in a shortest amount of time is..." Xiao Chun Dan pauses to raise the antic.i.p.ation in her. She opens her mouth and fists her hands. For some reason, he can tell that she"s going to be disappointed. "...to save this world."
Huang Qiuyan"s brain can"t seem to process the words. "Huh?"
Xiao Chun Dan lets out an exasperated sigh. The offer that he received was too good. He can"t reject or accept without her permission.
"If you can stop the apocalypse and fix the flow of energy, you will receive the 100 billion points and full support of the developers in your search for the person who can break the bond."
