[TCFO] Arc 3 – Chapter 148

The Vicious Princess Wants to Reverse Fate (42)

"Master, you are actually... the first person I have ever made a contract with," these words took aback Zhou Min, but she did not interrupt.

"In the vast universe, I have been wandering through these three thousand worlds ever since I gained consciousness. Over a thousand years, I gradually understood what kind of existence I am. Although there are countless systems, I was always ostracised and disdained. So, I told myself, one day, I will make those systems that once despised me look up to me and acknowledge my existence!"

The tone of this statement was filled with anger and sorrow derived from being abandoned and belittled, which left Zhou Min surprised!

She had never thought that this unreliable system would have this side.

"So, you found me?!" Zhou Min asked.

"Not really, it's not like I found you..." The voice became more careful as it replied.

"You didn't snatch me from the hands of those impressive systems, did you? You didn't cut in, did you?!" Zhou Min blurted out. If this were true, she would cry. It was like having a job with a million-dollar salary that didn't tire you out right in front of you, but suddenly, you were thrown into an exhausting job that exploited your labour. Anyone would be upset!

"Master, don't falsely accuse me! You were the leftovers!" The words that came out left Zhou Min stunned! Σ(o?д?o?)

"What did you just say? Leftovers (O_O)?" Zhou Min's disbelief caused a moment of silence.

"Master, when I came to you, many systems had already passed by you. But it seemed like... um... you were rejected ╮(╯▽╰)╭!

(#‵′) Damn! Rejected (+﹏+)~ Fainting

Zhou Min could not describe her expression upon hearing these words, but her rage was inevitable.

Zhou Min asked gloomily, "You didn't say that just to avoid being detected after cutting in, did you?"

"I swear by my system's life, everything I said is true!" It was angry. Though it sometimes only tells half the truth, its words are always true!

If Zhou Min hadn't understood it before, she would have had reservations about its oath. But knowing how much it wanted to be recognized by other systems and become the top system, seeing it swearing like this, she believed most of it, but her anger surged.

Furious slam...

"Damn, those systems with eyes on top of their heads, how dare they disdain me! I never disdained them..." Zhou Min was about to explode.

"Master, calm down! You can't blame them for disdaining you. Your obsession and mental strength are weak compared to others..." Zhou Min's increasingly hostile aura forced it into silence as it continued.

"As a system, you knew to resist after receiving such unfair treatment. As a young girl, how can I be less spirited than you, a system? One day, I will make those systems that look down on people go blind!"

Zhou Min was really angry. She couldn't believe that she was disdained by a group of systems collectively disdained.

"However, when did you, a system, become so enlightened!" It even wanted to be the top system. But its current status didn't seem so promising!

"What's wrong with a system? Systems have aspirations, too. A system that doesn't want to be the top is not good..." It immediately retorted. But after saying everything, it felt like its relationship with its master had gotten closer.

"But what kind of people do other systems contract the hosts?" Zhou Min was curious.

"I don't know, but when I reach the passing line, we will be able to open that door, and you will see those amazing people who have contracts with other systems." It responded instinctively, but it felt awkward when it realised what it had said. It seemed to have revealed something it shouldn't have.

"Holy crap, what did I just hear, the passing line? You're a product with no three certificates!" Zhou Min was shocked. She guessed her status might be low but hadn't even reached the passing line. She felt a headache and wanted someone to support her.

"Well... Master, although I am a product without three certificates now, you must believe I can upgrade..." Seeing Zhou Min's face of despair, it instantly tried to appease her.

"You're a girl?!" Zhou Min was surprised. She thought systems were genderless.

"Yes! Don't you think we can become best friends who can talk about anything..." It said with a lewd smile.

"Go away... I need some quiet..." The sudden shift in tone was too much for her to accept. She needed some time to adjust.

"Little Min, let's work hard together! You have to complete your tasks if you want to go home, and as long as I become the top system, I can get the easiest but highest-scoring tasks. Your chances of going home will be faster. I think our cooperation is simply the most intimate and unshakeable!" It continued to persuade her. Now that everything was out in the open, they would only rely on each other and move forward if they had common interests. After all, their emotional bond was too short.

"But, you keep mentioning that door?! What exactly is it?" Zhou Min asked, taking in its words and feeling nothing was wrong with it.

"Little Min, I found you finally asked the right question. All people chosen by the system have a world independent of each other as their base. Just like you have your world, the people chosen by the system also have their world. For us task performers who travel through three thousand worlds to clear obsessions, that's the world." Seeing Zhou Min asking this, it knew that Zhou Min had agreed with its thinking.
