For a brief moment, Hongyu felt unsure. The Young Madam seemed to be different from before. Her attitude seemed a bit distant.
In the bedroom, Xie Shang waited until everyone had left the room before opening her eyes and asking the System, "It is too easy to earn these points. Wouldn't I be able to resurrect myself soon?"
The System laughed dryly, "Keep it up, Host. You must make persistent efforts."
As soon as it finished speaking, Xie Shang thought of something and asked the System, "How many points do I have to save before I can go back?"
The System was startled, and it took a long time for it to stammer out. "This, actually, you don't have to save that many points, and according to your accumulation method, you should be able to go back soon."
Xie Shang listened to the System's stammering voice, and her expression changed subconsciously. She could make it out from the System's tone that something was wrong.
"You're not lying to me, are you? There's no such thing as accumulating points to revive yourself, is there?" She asked in a deep voice.
The more Xie Shang considered this possibility, the more likely it seemed. Her face became indescribably cold. She closed her eyes to keep her emotions in check, and then abruptly opened her eyes. Without waiting for the System to reply, she said fiercely,
"You'd better not lie to me, because if you do, I won't care for a moment before putting an end to this farce, and both of us will perish and die together."
The System shuddered. As an intelligent System, it also wanted to live.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I didn't lie to you. As a decent System, how could I lie to others? I'm a good comrade, I..."
Xie Shang was irritated by the dog's system stammering and asked in a deep voice. "Tell me, how many points do I need to save to return to the modern age and resurrect myself?"
"Actually, you don't need to save too many points, just one..." the System said cautiously, its voice almost a whisper.
Before the System finished speaking, Xie Shang frowned and interrupted, "One hundred thousand? This is still acceptable."
Xie Shang smiled after thinking about it. According to her method, she should be able to go back soon.
It's just that right after she finished speaking, the System stuttered and said, "My Dear, it's not one hundred thousand, it's one..."
"Is it a million?" asked Xie Shang, her face darkening as she tried to contain her anger.
When will she have one million points, according to her method of accumulation?
The System was in tears. It's not easy to be a good System these days. Is it easy to cater to the Host's demands?
"Dear Host, it's not one hundred thousand, it's not one million, it's one hundred million," the System's now frightened voice sounded dejectedly, as if it had just broken its wrist.
For a brief moment, Xie Shang was stunned, then her face became hideous, and she gritted her teeth and said, "One hundred million! Why don't you go earn it yourself?"
Does she really need to save 100 million points to resurrect herself? Then when will she even be able to go back?
The more Xie Shang thought about it, the worse she felt, but the System quickly reassured her, "Dear Host, it's actually pretty easy to rack up points. You think, in just a short while, Host has already saved a lot of points, so 100 million is not too much. What's the big problem? Let's first set a small goal, then step by step save 100 million points."
The System made fun of Xie Shang. How many small goals would she need to set to save 100 million points? Is it so easy? Since it's so easy, why doesn't the System earn it itself? Humph.
However, she had no choice but to work hard to earn the required number of points. Xie Shang looked at the points displayed on the side while thinking about it. As of now, there are over 380 points, which is indeed a quick increase.
Xie Shang was thinking about it when the System's voice sounded again, "We can work harder and anger more people every day. Won't we save it?"
Xie Shang wanted to die, but there was no way out since she had already been bound to this dog system.
"You better pray that I can go back without a hitch, otherwise..."
Although Xie Shang refrained from continuing her sentence, the System could be sure that whatever she was going to say would definitely not be something good. Woo-hoo! This good System feels so wronged and sad, but what can it say!
