Chapter 75 Hidden Terms
Chapter 75 Hidden Terms
The sword fight finally ended, and the emerald green lake water rippled with crimson. Liang Yan, who had narrowly escaped the blades several times, breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Shen Qing, whose temples were perfectly disheveled, and then at his own disheveled guards, Liang Yan realized for the first time that quality is more important than quantity in warfare. At this moment, he no longer cared whether the disappearance of those people had anything to do with Shen Qing, but was thinking about whether he could break through this wall.
After this incident, no one was interested in drinking and making merry on the lake full of floating corpses, and the banquet ended abruptly.
Liang Yan felt quite regretful, but Shen Che was very satisfied, as the purpose of the trip had been achieved.
As the painted boat docked, Liang Yan invited Shen, "Young Master Shen, why don't we travel together?"
Looking at his expression, which was exactly the same as Jing Chuan's, how could Shen Qing not know what he was thinking? Sigh~ He's unknowingly gone further and further down the path of being a bodyguard.
With a sigh, Shen Che had already agreed, "That is indeed my wish, I dare not ask you."
It's just a favor. We're going back to the city anyway, so saying a few nice words won't hurt. The world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's also about human relationships and social graces.
Shen Qingwei subtly pursed his lips, inwardly thinking, "Brother, you really are a diplomat."
Seeing that Shen Qing agreed, Liang Yan felt reassured and got into the car. Lu Huanong glanced at Shen Qing with a complicated expression and then got into the car as well.
The carriage moved slowly, and Liang Yan closed his eyes to rest, finally able to calm down and review the day's events.
Today, I intended to investigate whether Shen Qing was involved in the disappearance of Scarface Liu and his group, and how deep his entanglement with the Yu family was.
Today's encounter confirms that Shen Qing is indeed capable of silently eliminating Scarface Liu's group, but she can also do it with more people, like the group of assassins just now.
Which faction is behind this? Liang Yan unconsciously tapped his knee with his fingers.
Meanwhile, Revlon, sitting opposite, was also absent-mindedly waiting for the system's feedback.
In the alternate dimension, System 9527 tried its best to shrink back and minimize its presence. It was really annoying. It was all Shen Qing's fault for making it lose face in front of its peers. If other systems knew that it had gone to so much trouble and still couldn't handle a human host, it would really lose face in the industry.
While drawing circles to curse Shen Qing, he suddenly received a signal:
"Hey, old colleague, it's been years! You've gotten so much better!"
【You're the one who poops! Your whole family poops!】
"Huh? There really is a system nearby?" System 5466 was just randomly releasing signals to test the waters, and surprisingly, a system actually responded!
Holy crap! It cheated!
System 9527 regretted it too late; the signal was locked and the system had been exposed.
It turns out to be a one-way binding state. No wonder, this explains the abnormality of Shen Qing.
"You didn't choose a host that refused to bind with you, and now you can't leave, do you?" If that's the case, it will definitely mock the other party mercilessly.
[Ha~ How could a foolish third-generation system possibly understand the layout of the first generation?]
"Keep pretending, will you?_?`"
Hmph~ Have you forgotten Article 666 of the binding agreement?
He left this message with an air of mystery, then System 9527 blocked the message and left. When you're out in the world, you can only brag if you're good at it!
System 5466 fell into deep thought and began to examine Article 666 of the binding agreement: After the system selects a host, all strategy points generated within the time until the host agrees to the binding belong to the system.
In other words, from the moment System 9527 unilaterally binds itself to Shen Qing, all the increased strategy points will be transferred to System 9527 the moment Shen Qing agrees to the binding.
Is it planning to fatten up the host before slaughtering them? This is indeed an unthinkable path, because once the host is bound, they start doing tasks, and the system will split the strategy points 70/30. It's much faster to pursue characters with high strategy points than to nurture the host.
The original system would never make such a basic mistake; it must have had a deeper consideration. 5466 began to get excited; the time had come to prove its strength, and it wanted to compete with the original system!
Revlon, who had been anxiously waiting in the carriage, finally received a system reply.
[It has been confirmed that Shen Qing is the host of Strategy System 9527]
Revlon's expression was complicated as she mentally asked, "Why? Why... does she seem so... at ease?"
She has not yet agreed to bind herself to the system.
This information struck Revlon like a hammer blow to the heart, and a flash of pain crossed her eyes.
Countless times, she thought, if only she hadn't bound herself to the system in the first place, if only she had learned more and thought more before binding herself, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
Regret was useless, so she comforted herself, who would resist the temptation of a cheat code? Her carelessness was only human nature.
Shen Qing's existence was a slap in the face to her; she was indeed foolish!
The carriage was still moving slowly through the countryside. Looking out the window at the receding grass and trees, Lu Huanong's thoughts drifted back two years—
She was an ordinary person living in modern society, with an ordinary family, ordinary appearance, attending an ordinary university, doing an ordinary job, and an ordinary life experience—no stories, not even accidents.
One day, while working on a document, he knocked over a cup, spilled water on the keyboard, and was electrocuted to death.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an unfamiliar ancient society. She had transmigrated!? As she was shocked by this unbelievable event, a mechanical voice rang in her mind.
[Host detected meets binding requirements. Do you agree to bind? Countdown begins: three, two...]
"Bind! I'll bind!"
The system—that's the legendary cheat code! How could she miss it! Unlimited wealth and privilege are finally hers!
She often reads online novels after get off work. According to the typical plot, binding with a system means that her life will be turned around and she will have wealth and power at her fingertips, and all kinds of handsome men will be in love with her to death.
Lost in his fantasy and chuckling to himself for a long time, he was brought back to his senses by the system's notification sound, and only then did he remember to check which system he was bound to.
At first, the system was indeed quite good, offering a useful newbie gift pack, and then she embarked on her journey of completing tasks.
Yuan Erlang was her first target. He was a gentleman, learned and handsome. As she acted, she couldn't help but fall in love. When she successfully proposed to him, Yuan Erlang's favorability reached 100%.
Once the mission was completed, the system immediately issued the next strategy mission. She was unhappy about it, and the system began to bare its fangs, threatening to subject her to electric shocks if she didn't complete the mission.
She couldn't bear to part with Yuan Erlang, so she had no choice but to secretly try to win over the heir of the Marquis of Dingbei. In the end, the truth came out, ruining Erlang's future and leaving him disabled. Meanwhile, she still had to pretend to be friendly with the murderer and stab him in the heart.
She was a promising young man with a bright future, but he became a useless person who drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day. She ruined Erlang's life.
However, this is only the beginning.
