Chapter 3: Bound by the System?
't a special situation. You just got discharged from the hospital and came to eat hot pot And spicy hot pot at that!""Oh my, oh my, I'm all better now. Oh right, I should thank you. It was you who hel..."Welcome host, to my system space!"
A golden, fluffy ball flew over from afar, hovering above Ruan's soft face as it spoke and swayed.
Ruan softened by this sudden thing, was startled and sat up from the ground. He instinctively reached out to grab it.
"What are you"
The golden fluff was shaking its body, dodging Ruan Soft's hand that was reaching towards it. Its face edged closer to Ruan Soft as it spoke.
"I'm not a thing! Wait, I am a thing Oh dear me, I'm your beloved System 1008!"
"System You mean the kind of system that appears in novels" Ruan Soft finally saw the talking thing in front of her, and instead of being scared because this ball of fur could talk, she calmly asked.
"Yes, yes, my dear host, please bind with me quickly!"
The ball of fluff stopped before Ruan's soft face, its voice cheerful and lively. But if you listened closely, there seemed to be a hint of anxiety and urgency in its words.
"What are the benefits of binding you" Ruan Rou, despite her inner strength, accepted the small creature before her and asked again.
"I'm the God-Tier System! All I need to do is complete missions, and I'll have a wealth beyond measure!" The golden furball puffed up with pride when describing its nature. It was, after all, the most popular system of them all!
"Well, what if I refuse" Ruan Rou looked at the thing in front of her, whose tone was a bit smug, and deliberately acted mischievously.
"You actually want to refuse this system!!! This system, I'm so useful! How can you bear to refuse me" Maoqiu couldn't stand it at all. Hearing Ruan Soft's words, he immediately became flustered.
"Just bind with me! As long as you bind with me, I'll, I'll, give you some things!"
When Ruan Ran heard this, her eyes flashed slightly. In the novels she read, the system would always kill you if it wasn't bound. How come here, it was actually giving out gifts There must be something fishy going on.
"Why would you choose me What could you give me"
"Because... because... because I think you're beautiful! Um... um... I'm giving you a koi carp attribute, so that you'll be incredibly lucky afterward, with super strong charisma. And I'm also giving you a gift mystery box, what do you think" Meow Ball said as it spun around in circles.
The carp's properties sound pretty good, but Ruan Rou didn't say why she didn't choose it. That answer obviously wasn't true.
After pondering for a moment, he continued to ask, "What kind of tasks would I need to do What happens if they aren't completed"
Maoqiu, hearing that Ruanruan seemed to be softening her stance, became even happier and seriously started explaining things to Ruanruan.
"It's just some paid tasks, and then there are a few other simple tasks that don't matter if you don't complete them. Our Divine Rich System doesn't have any penalties! It's just that you won't get rewards if you can't complete them."
"Then, then if you complete the task, there are points, points can be exchanged for skill learning time, and some things in the mall, and you can also use points to exchange for the opportunity to draw blind box gifts."
When Ruan Ruǎn heard this, she didn't hesitate any longer. After all, she was really short of money right now, "Then how do we bind it"
“Here here, just sign your name on this agreement!” Maoqiu hurriedly took out the agreement and pointed to the blank space at the bottom right, his voice brimming with joy.
Ruan softened picked up a pen and directly signed his name at that location. A blinding light emitted from the agreement, and when it extinguished, the agreement had already been generated.
Congratulations, host! The contract has been successfully signed!
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the permanent Koi attribute." The announcements came one after another.
"Host, do you want to draw a blind box now" The golden kitten floated in the air and asked.
"Why don't we just open it now" Ruan Rou was still quite curious about this blind box.
As soon as the words left her lips, a massive, translucent virtual screen materialized in midair. Ruan Rou extended her hand and tapped the button to start the lottery draw. In an instant, the screen began to scroll.
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a Level 1 Portable Space Key."
"Wow, host you're so amazing! A spatial key! You won the jackpot!" The golden little furball patted its horse beside it.
"A space key What's this used for" Ruan softened her face in confusion.
"This is like a bag of holding, you can put anything you want inside, but it's only level one right now, about half the size of a basketball court. You just make do with it for now, it will get bigger when it levels up."
Mao Qiu's nonchalant explanation, unbeknownst to him, caused a tremendous stir in Ruan Soft's heart.
"Right, I remember being hit by a car. What's the situation now How can I get out"
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, Host, you were injured pretty badly. But good news, Host, now you have the Golden Carp Physique. You'll be able to overcome any hardship. I'll send you out later."
Ruan nodded softly, picking up the golden furball with her hand. She suddenly said,
"How about I give you a name then! It can't go on forever being called 'System 1008'."
"Alright, alright! Now you have to give me a good-sounding name, host!"
"Looking at your shiny gold, how about we call you Little Gold" Ruan Ru said jokingly.
"Host..." The golden furball instantly wilted, its voice tinged with grievance.
"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. What about Yuanbao It suits your domineering nature! How is it" Ruan Soft reached out and rubbed the furball, her voice laced with amusement.
"Yay! Yay! I have a name!" Yuanbao shook his fluffy fur, a little shyly.
For a moment, the system space was filled with laughter.
Outside the ward, Mo Yichen looked at the girl on the bed through the glass. Her face was pale, her features were delicate and youthful, and her wrists outside the blanket were so slender that they seemed to break with a snap.
Mo Yi Chen's expression was rather complex. Was she the turning point Could she really do it
Standing outside silently for a long time, he turned and walked towards Cheng Yu's office.
And just as he turned, Ruan Ruan, who was lying on the bed, moved her hand that was placed on the blanket slightly.
Ruan Rou, whose soul had been sent back to her body by the Spirit Gem, never expected that as soon as she returned, she wouldn't even have the strength to open her eyes because of her severe injuries.
After struggling for a bit, he only managed to wiggle his fingers slightly. He realized he couldn't move at all and began to complain in his mind to Yuanbao.
"Gold coins, gold coins! I'm afraid I won't become a vegetable!"
"Don't worry, host. You've just been away from your body for too long, and your body is indeed quite injured. It's temporarily unable to control your body. It will be fine in a few days."
"That's good, if I become a vegetable, that's it. I might as well just die."
Though she complains, she wouldn't actually want to die. After all, she still has a lot of things she wants to do.complicated manner again."You better investigate this immediately, it could affect the future of our country!"Liu Weiguo had never seen his teacher so angry before, and he had to believe it. He immedi...
