Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 173 The Real World: A Confrontation with the System (Chapter 2)

A raging fire ignited in Su Jinyue's heart. This unknown enemy was going against Fu Cinian, which meant going against her!

She had already traveled through three worlds and saved Fu Cinian in each of them, so the enemy was not invincible.

Su Jinyue decided that if she ever traveled to another world again, she would find Fu Cinian as soon as possible, protect him, and see how that enemy could take Fu Cinian's things away!

Su Jinyue was full of ambition, and in her mind, she had already defeated the enemy so badly that her brain was completely fried.

Once she calmed down a bit, and thinking about how the system had protected Fu Cinian, she suddenly realized that it wasn't a coincidence that the quick transmigration system she had contracted with had come to her.

"System, why are you being so nice to Fu Cinian? Aren't you my system? Why are all the tasks you issue favoring Fu Cinian?"

【! ! ! 】

[Host, I can detect your emotions and past experiences. Aren't you in love with Fu Cinian? Then isn't asking you to protect Fu Cinian in other worlds also for your own good? ...]

"Really?" Su Jinyue smiled faintly, not quite believing the reason.

Judging from the system's series of actions, Su Jinyue felt that the system was only using her as a tool, and that it was actually doing everything for Fu Cinian's benefit.

Su Jinyue also wanted to know the real reason, but judging from the system's attitude, even if she asked, it would just say something like, "Your strength is too weak, it's not appropriate for you to know now."

Anyway, as things stand, they have the same goal, and that's fine.

"System, do you have a name? Am I supposed to call you 'System' from now on?"

Seeing that Su Jinyue was no longer dwelling on the previous question, the system breathed a sigh of relief, because it also didn't know how to make up a new one.

"...I have no name..."

The system originally wanted to say that its original name was Time-Space Mirror, but the name Time-Space Mirror was also named because its main body is a mirror that can travel through time and space.

Following this logic, both the spacetime mirror and the system can only be considered appellations, not names.

"But aren't you a system? Even if you don't have a name, shouldn't you have some kind of number or something?"

"Oh, right," Su Jinyue suddenly asked excitedly, as if she had remembered something, "Aren't you a quick transmigration system? Shouldn't there be a newbie gift pack or something when you initially signed the contract? Why didn't I get one? Did you swallow it while you were asleep?"

【…】

[Host, I am indeed a quick transmigration system! But when you first signed the contract, did you forget what you wished for?]

Su Jinyue subconsciously recalled the time when she first made a contract with the system, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

You promised to resurrect Fu Cinian before you agreed to the contract, so I used all my energy to bring you back to ten years ago.

I've already exhausted my energy to the point of automatically going into hibernation because of your wish, and now you still want me to give you a newbie gift pack?!

Besides, because of this wish of yours, you owe me a lot, okay? Now, just complete the task properly; that's how you repay your debt. Don't think about anything else!

When Su Jinyue thought about this, she realized that she was indeed in the wrong, and she kindly advised her.

"System, please don't be angry. It's my fault. Please forgive me this time."

"Then I forgive you." The system was somewhat pleased by her coaxing, and besides, it wasn't really angry, so it decided not to be angry with her anymore.

Su Jinyue asked curiously, "System, if there's no newbie gift pack, is there a system shop? Ruan Bingyu's bound system has a system shop, but I haven't even seen what it looks like yet, and you've already taken it."

[Host, I am a wild system. I have no central processing unit, and I don't have a system shop function.]

The system had no choice; its true form was a mirror capable of traversing time and space. Disguising itself as a system was a last resort. Where could it find a system store for Su Jinyue?

Su Jinyue was a little disappointed to hear that there was no system shop. She clicked her tongue, feeling like she had a fake cheat code, with no other functions besides time travel and issuing tasks.

However, something is better than nothing. If she can't rely on the system, Su Jinyue can still rely on herself!

It's better to rely on yourself than on heaven or earth. Besides, I've traveled through three worlds and have acquired a lot on my own without the system's help.

Su Jinyue felt she should be satisfied; what more could she ask for?

"System, since you don't have a name, can I give you one?"

【Okay.】The system doesn't care, it's just a name. Its former owner was the Time Mirror, and the Time Mirror called itself.

Su Jinyue muttered to herself, "You're a system that can travel through time and space. Should I call you Shishi? No, that's the same as my brother's name. How about I call you Kongkong?"

【OK. 】

"Kongkong, will there be any patterns when we travel through time in the future? Or will we be notified suddenly like before?"

[No. Previously, I was in hibernation and could only passively scan nearby spacetime anchors. Now I've awakened and can actively seek out spacetime anchors. The host is ready and can travel at any time.]

"So each time travel event still lasts five minutes?"

[I can control this myself now, but the return time needs to be after the time travel event occurs.]

Su Jinyue understood Kongkong's meaning: even if the two actions of time travel and returning to reality occurred at the same second, time travel should have come first, followed by the return.

Waking up is still useful; not only can it travel through time at any time, but it can also control the time when it returns to reality.

However, having just returned last night, Su Jinyue doesn't want to embark on another time travel so soon.

Although she was with Fu Cinian while traveling through different worlds, she had actually lived a whole life together, and the memories of growing old were still vivid in her mind. Su Jinyue needed time to process and reflect.

Fortunately, after being reborn ten years ago, she got together with Fu Cinian much earlier. Every time she returned to reality and was with Fu Cinian, she was able to quickly detach herself from the memory of losing him.

Then, cherish the beautiful memories of growing old together in your heart.

"Kongkong, can being reborn make a person make different decisions than before? Fu Cinian was supposed to be with me three years later in my previous life, but why is it earlier now?"

Logically speaking, since a person doesn't have memories of two lifetimes, their decisions under the same circumstances shouldn't change. Only encountering different people and experiencing changes would affect their decisions.

Fu Cinian has no memories of his previous life. The only variable for him this time is that he met you earlier, and it is because of you that his future is being affected.

Su Jinyue was secretly delighted: "So, you mean Fu Cinian and I are destined for each other? No matter when we meet, Fu Cinian will fall in love with me?"
