Chapter 354 – Your family’s plum blossom is lost again (31)
At this moment, Yan Luo continued to tremble, and it was unknown how much she had actually heard.
Little Pink paused speechlessly, then floated out of Yan Luo’s forehead. The small pink orb brushed against her cheek, [Alright, alright, Dear Host, it’s fine now. It’s gone back into Wang Shi’s body, you can’t see it anymore.]
Seeing its pitiful host curled up into a ball, Little Pink instinctively softened its voice.
There was no helping it. Its host wasn’t afraid of anything except ghosts…
As it thought this, Little Pink patted its nonexistent conscience. Tsk. Alright, fine—aside from being a little quick-witted, its host was actually scared of everything. The heavens, the earth, ghosts… you name it. Just look at her, trembling so pitifully.
Little Pink let out a tiny sigh, only to hear Yan Luo’s weak voice. “It said something about seizing luck or whatever… Oh, right, won’t you showing up like this attract its attention?”
[Of course not,] Little Pink replied. [Its level is way too low—not even worth mentioning. Even if I stood right in front of it, it wouldn’t notice me.]
These ‘pseudo-systems’ were like parasites within the dimensions, existing by leeching energy from various normal dimensions. They always loved to bind themselves to scheming, unscrupulous individuals to use as their pawns.
To the average person, they were indeed formidable entities, completely untouchable. But to real systems like Little Pink, these pseudo-systems were the lowest of the low.
[However, if you want to know his exact mission and status, I’d have to hack into its database. It’s easy for me, but doing so would increase the risk of exposure. Dear Host, what do you want to do?]
“My legs are weak. I don’t wanna do anything QAQ.”
That earlier scare had really shaken Yan Luo up. Plus, the original ownerhad already been mentally fragile and easily startled, so right now, Yan Luo barely lifted her head, revealing two wide, fear-filled eyes. Her little face was as pale as if she were gravely ill.
Little Pink : …
But, knowing full well that the pseudo-system was definitely targeting her, Yan Luo pitifully flopped onto the desk in defeat.
—It should be just a school-life dimension! Who did I offend to deserve this kind of horror?!
“How do you get rid of these pseudo-systems? Can’t you just wipe them out directly?”
[We systems aren’t allowed to interfere directly with a dimension’s development. But eliminating a pseudo-system is actually simple, just make sure all the tasks it issues fail. Once it runs out of energy to assign missions, it will eventually dissipate.]
As Little Pink rambled in her ear, Yan Luo shifted her position, still sprawled across the desk.
She heard what Little Pink said, but she was still too shaken to care about any of that right now.
Yan Luo curled up into an even smaller ball.
At that moment, a number of students who had gone out to check their grades returned to the classroom. A few girls who had been getting along well with Wang Shi over the past few days gathered around her.
“Shishi, your grades are amazing!”
Wang Shi smiled modestly, exuding confidence as she spoke in a warm, encouraging tone. “If you all work a little harder, you can achieve the same.”
“No way. With my brain? Forget ranking second in the grade, I wouldn’t even make the top twenty.”
The others chimed in agreement.
Wang Shi’s expression stiffened slightly. She licked her lips, her smile becoming faintly strained. “…Ranking second?”
