Chapter 127 System Upgrade

So you're basically making me pay for your services, and then you use them? I don't get anything in return?! 凸(艹皿艹 )

Lin Xiyue immediately put away the crystal bag in her hand, not giving the system any time to covet it.

[Cough cough cough, no, no! (?_?)]

The system was so saddened to see that all the crystals it coveted had been taken away that it almost cried.

"So tell me, what else can you do?"

Moros suddenly interrupted Lin Xiyue's conversation with the system, while fiddling with a pure black crystal.

[I want it! I want it! Give it to me! There's so much you can do! For example, let you have oo and then oo. If you want, I can also provide you with oo, giving you a perfect oo experience. *\(?? ? ??)]

Upon hearing this question, the system excitedly uttered a series of completely censored words. The sheer number of censored words and the intensity of the language made one wonder if it had downloaded the entire file package of a certain flower market during its upgrade.

!! !! ? ?

What did you say? So many words were censored! Huh?!

Lin Xiyue was shocked. The system was able to say all these things in one go. It was terrifying.

Oh? I'm very interested. Let me see!

Meros, on the contrary, became very interested and asked the system for details, wanting to see it.

Hey! No way!!! And don't discuss this garbage in my head!!

Lin Xiyue excitedly shouted in the chat, and angrily threw a pillow from the bed at Molos, who was standing at the door.

[(⊙o⊙)…But Boss Mo seems really interested…]

The system said somewhat hesitantly.

[Alright, tell me what else you updated. If it's really useful, this black crystal is yours.]

Moros saw that Lin Xiyue was truly annoyed; the blush spread from her flushed face all the way down to her collar. He went over and hugged Lin Xiyue, kissing her earlobe, then told the system to quickly change the subject.

[Oh, okay then. I really don't understand you humans. You clearly like them all, I detected it...]

The system muttered something under its breath, but Lin Xiyue still heard it. So, under Lin Xiyue's murderous glare, it decisively stopped muttering and revealed its update.

[Ahem, this update mainly focused on updating some systems related to energy.]

[The box I asked you to buy last time contained a massive, extremely pure energy source. Most importantly, it contained a small amount of time-related energy. I recognized it immediately! That's the main reason I was able to level up.]

The system spoke with a hint of pride about the box it had bought last time, practically saying, "Come praise me, I have excellent taste!"

So you can see right through the box, but you just won't tell me what's inside what I bought?

Lin Xiyue immediately grasped the point that she was most concerned about.

Clearly, she couldn't forget the fact that she bought herself a blind box containing only one white crystal, which was worth only one yuan.

[Uh, cough cough. Let's skip this topic.]

The system awkwardly changed the subject; it would never admit that it just wanted to see its host get embarrassed, and it even recorded it! Hehehe.

[Let me continue.]

[I've updated the energy absorption system. The host can use the energy I absorb to create energy coins, which can be used to open the shop system. Of course, to maintain system stability, I will charge a 20% transaction fee.]

The system said smugly.

"So, you weren't originally planning to open a shop for me and then freeload off my energy? (*′?皿`)"

Lin Xiyue even spoke out angrily, but luckily there were only the two of them in the room, well, the system doesn't count as a person.

[Ahem, I don't really know how. I just know how to use language skillfully. ┐('～`；)┌]

The system was still quite embarrassed. It coughed a few times, pretended that nothing had happened, and continued speaking.

[Because it's essentially a gacha system, we'll refresh the inventory with five random items every week. You can decide whether or not to buy them.]

[Secondly, we can allow you to purchase the items you've already drawn using Energy Coins, although the price will be increased.]

[Finally, we've provided a separate channel system! This way, our conversations will only be between the two of us! Hehehe.]

The system finished explaining the entire system update with great pride, so much so that it didn't notice the strange looks in Lin Xiyue's and Mo Luo's eyes.

Then show me the shop right now! Also, you're not allowed to randomly create a three-person channel anymore! (｀皿′)

After listening to the system's introduction, Lin Xiyue decisively threatened it in her mind.

[Ahem, I already turned on the one-way channel when I said the last one. You can trust me to handle things! ?(? ? ??)]

The system gave me a knowing look, as if to say, "I knew what you were thinking."

That's good. I'll check out the store.

As Lin Xiyue spoke, she opened the shop, thus missing the strange expression on Moros's face.

Upon opening the store, Lin Xiyue's first sight was a red banner with a countdown timer that read: "Limited-Time Mega Sale! Only six days, twenty-three hours, and thirty minutes left! Hurry up and buy now, it's a steal!"

And so, there was a little villain below, waving a flag and shouting encouragement.

It's fair to say that while the system may not have learned much else, it has certainly mastered marketing techniques quite well.

It's hard to learn good things, but you can easily learn bad ones!

After silently cursing the system in her heart, Lin Xiyue carefully looked at the limited-time shop.

There are a total of five items. The first two are randomly generated life cards, which are not very useful, but this is normal for Lin Xiyue, who is unlucky.

The third is a rather useful hypnosis card, but Lin Xiyue already has one.

The fourth item is a prop card, but it has a big question mark on it, indicating that it's unknown. You'll probably only find out what it is after you buy it.

Lin Xiyue considered her luck and decisively gave up on the card.

Finally, Lin Xiyue's gaze fell on the last prop.

What's displayed above is an Ability Card.

Lin Xiyue thought for a moment, took out a bag of crystals, and confirmed the recharge under the anxious gaze of the system.

[Beep—Recharge successful. Remaining balance: 7861]

The system quickly absorbed all the crystals, and the bag that was originally full of crystals shrank almost instantly, leaving only an empty cloth bag.

[Hehehe, okay, what do you want to buy~ my dear host~☆￣(＞.☆)]

The system's voice was so obsequious that it was hard to believe it wasn't actually human.
