Chapter 633: Release The Supreme Commander From His Post, I’ll Do It (X)
The clamor of a mechanical sound within her mind disturbed Jiang Pengi.
“Jiang Pengji, you b*stard, don’t pretend to be dead by keeping quiet. I know you are awake. Since you had the guts to turn me off, you should be able to reply! Reply! If you continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, I will bother you all night! I’ll only stop if you pay attention to me.”
The system nagged and nagged, stringing an endless tirade of complaints together. It would be difficult for Jiang Pengji to ignore it. She really wanted to squish the system to death.
“What kind of trouble do you want to make now?” Jiang Pengji asked coldly in her heart. She rose carefully, not wanting to alarm anyone.
She climbed up the town wall. The soldiers there were still patrolling on their night watch. When they saw the red and white military attire of Jiang Pengji, they pulled themselves together and saluted.
She waved her hand and said quietly, “I just came out for a walk since I can’t sleep tonight. Continue your duties, don’t worry about me.”
The patrolling soldiers nodded and turned sideways to avoid Jiang Pengji.
She looked for an empty, quiet corner. The chilly night breeze blew against her face, chasing away some of her sleepiness.
“System, you better give me a good reason why you suddenly jumped out to disturb me in the middle of the night. Do you want to die?”
The system replied, “Why don’t you kill one for me to see?”
Oh. It had no fear because it thought she could not do anything to it!
Jiang Pengji narrowed her eyes dangerously.
The reason why she chose to imprison the system instead of destroying it was that she was afraid that the main system would become aware of what she was doing, inadvertently alerting the main system to her intentions.
Instead, it had become the resource for the subsystem to create trouble. She laughed involuntarily.
She didn’t know how the main system itself was doing, but this subsystem’s IQ was really low.
Things had changed. Did it think that she would always restrain herself for fear of the consequences?
Jiang Pengji exhaled a breath of steam and said inwardly, “I still want to sleep, and I don’t want to talk nonsense with you. If there is something you want to say, do it fast. If you want to continue making things difficult for me so you can feel a sense of superiority, try it. See if I give you even one second of my time no matter how you torment me. That’s the world of my brain. You better get that through your head.”
The system had been imprisoned by Jiang Pengji for almost two years. During that time, it had developed a fear of her.
There was no way it could not fear her. Jiang Pengji was cunning and shrewd. She only provided the popularity points that were the base requirements of the system every day. The system was pinned exactly where she wanted it.
As for the system, the popularity score was the energy it needed to survive and grow, similar to the food that humans need.
Whether it was a person or a system, to be imprisoned for two years in a lonely, silent world, with only enough food to keep from starving to death, was torture… A person would go crazy, and a system could not bear it either. This time around, it was kicking up a huge fuss for a real reason.
The system hemmed and hawed.
“That, that… Can I discuss something with you?”
The system had been arrogant before, but it was so cowardly now that Jiang Pengji did not know whether to laugh or cry.
System, could you be more of a loser?
“We can discuss reasonable things. If it’s about letting you go and giving you your freedom, just give up on that.”
The system hurriedly said, “No, no, no… it’s not about that. I mean… Can you exercise some restraint for the time being? If you can, it would be better to lock me down even tighter… There is something special happening soon. I’m afraid of cross-dimensional merchants patrolling everywhere….. ”
Cross dimensional merchants patrolling everywhere?
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows. Her expression became grave. “What do you mean?”
The system said, “There’s no hidden meaning… You don’t have to guard against me to this extent, okay? I’m serious now! Neither you nor I can be caught by a cross-dimensional merchant with a patrol warrant. Otherwise, it will be the end for us… Right now we are grasshoppers hanging onto the same rope. If I’m finished, there’s nothing good for you either. If it wasn’t for Liu Xi’s body, you would have been rejected and banished by the rules and regulations here…”
Jiang Pengji scoffed lightly. “I don’t care.”
There was not one federal soldier who was afraid of death.
The system was silent for a long time.
“You are so annoying! How can I make you agree with me?”
The system’s coquettish way of feigning anger made Jiang Pengji frown deeply.
“What is a cross-dimensional merchant with a patrol warrant? Based on your words, you seem to be very scared of it.”
The system said unpleasantly, “Nonsense. Is there any trafficker of illegal migrants who is not afraid of the police?”
Jiang Pengji didn’t answer.
The system said, “I am the multidimensional court intrigue livestreaming system. Opening a live channel will temporarily establish contact between the channels of two dimensions that have nothing to do with one another, causing the balance between several dimensions to be disrupted. Hence, there are people who are ‘reborn’ or have ‘crossed into another dimension.’ Regardless of which type of cross-dimensional travel they fall into, all of them are illegal aliens without any proper paperwork. As for the cross-dimensional merchants with patrol warrants, they are people with the proper certification to travel between dimensions.”
Jiang Pengji became interested. A little bit of malice was born in her heart.
“What would happen if you were caught?”
The system sneered, seeing through Jiang Pengji’s plan.
“Jiang Pengji, I advise you not to come up with any ideas for our mutual destruction. Do you know how much energy it takes to establish contact through the barriers of two dimensions? I belong to the same rank as that cross-dimensional merchant! If he catches me, I’ll at most be thrown into jail for a few years. They can’t really do anything about me. But you are different, you don’t belong to this world. You are an odd factor that affects the original development of this dimension. To put it in an ugly way, you are a pathogen. When the time comes, you will die miserably! You could still live for many years. Would it be that bad to stay alive? Do you always have to think about getting rid of me?”
Jiang Pengji did not show an ounce of fear when faced with the seemingly fierce but cowardly system.
She laughed contemptuously and did not bother to conceal the disdain in her words.
“Is that so? If you’re powerful, why are you imprisoned in my mental realm right now?”
If the system had expressions, its face would be dark as the soot at the bottom of a pot.
If it had not lowered its guard to Jiang Pengi, would it have been captured due to its carelessness?
The system had lived for so long. This was the first time that it had ever been made into a laughingstock by its host.
Therefore, it hated this type of host the most, the type who was clever but did not take instruction well.
A sweet and naive young thing, or someone innocent and stupid, or a smart*ss… What was wrong with wanting hosts like those?
Although the host had to pay some “small remuneration,” at least the host was a proper winner in life while they were alive.
They could live their lives again, but with the aura of a protagonist. The collective IQ of the supporting characters would decline, and the host would easily walk towards the pinnacle of their lives.
Did you get excited thinking about it?
It was just the system’s luck to meet a freak like Jiang Pengji!
The system felt so aggrieved that it wanted to cry.
Jiang Pengji said, “You are full of lies, and your rap sheet is too long. I can believe at most 30% of your words, but I remain skeptical of the other 70%. Your complaints have just inspired me. You asked ‘is there any trafficker of illegal migrants who is not afraid of the police?’ So, that means the cross-dimensional merchant is the police, and you are a trafficker. You also said that you are on the same rank as the merchant, but you’re imprisoned by me right now… Tsk, the amount of information you’ve given me is huge… I seem to know something already…”
The system was faintly flustered.
“What amount of information is huge?”
With a natural expression, Jiang Pengji answered the question with a question of her own. “Why should I tell you anything?”
The system was speechless.
Jiang Pengji asked the system, “What does a cross-dimensional patrol merchant look like? It is cunning and vicious like you?”
The system was almost choked on itself, still speechless.
What did she mean by “cunning and vicious like you?”
That’s called a fair trade!
