First Volume_Chapter 297 You Are My System (7)

Jiang Zhi had no time to be happy, she issued him a side quest.

【Trigger side quest, discovered a C-rank monster, please host go kill it. Quest reward unknown.】

Xie Xunze: "C-rank?"

Jiang Zhi checked the quest list and indicated there was no error.

"It's C-rank, I know where it is, come with me."

Jiang Zhi, who had taken human form, pointed at a spot and said.

Xie Xunze looked at her for a few seconds and asked: "What ability did you gain from leveling up?"

Jiang Zhi raised her chin: "Look for yourself."

Xie Xunze took out the Character Card.

【Upgrade N→R-rank Character Card: Jiang Zhi

Level: 1

Skill: Peerless beauty can confuse the opponent/chat?

Whether to activate the Character Card's physical function? Yes/No (after activation, others can also see the Character Card.)

Jiang Zhi flicked her long hair, sexy and gorgeous, "See, I told you, my appearance is peerless."

Xie Xunze fell silent.

After a while he asked: "What's the use of it?"

He didn't activate the physical function, but instead put the Character Card back in his pocket.

Jiang Zhi raised her delicate porcelain-white finger, lifted his chin, and said with a smiling squint: "You're still young, you don't understand now, but you will when you grow up."

Xie Xunze calmly dodged her finger, said emotionlessly: "Lead the way."

Jiang Zhi resignedly led the way.

The beauty system has now fallen to being a navigation app.

After walking for ten-odd minutes, before they could get there, they heard gunshots.

Xie Xunze furrowed his brows.

The gunfire was from military-issue assault rifles, specially modified, with enough power to pierce the shell of a D-rank monster.

He arrived beside a large square and saw a squad of hunters outside dealing with the C-rank monster from the quest.

The front-line melee member Meng Qi was covered in wounds, panting heavily, unable to stand steadily, warily staring at the huge monster not far away.

The communicator crackled with the captain's voice: "It's about to evolve from C-rank to B-rank, you guys retreat quickly."

Aside from the ranged gunners, the squad also had a melee fighter with maxed-out defense points and a scout with maxed-out agility.

Besides that, the squad must also have a mascot with maxed-out luck.

Meng Qi was a defense-type melee fighter, with a shield and a sharp grappling hook on his strong arms; exhausted, he stepped back a few steps trying to dodge the C-rank monster's attack, his thick front shield shattered, and the monster directly flung him to the ground.

Without the defense melee, the ranged gunner beside him could only retreat.

The already berserk C-rank monster's stats surged dramatically, and it charged at extreme speed toward the group of ranged gunners.

Just as it was about to tear them apart, the offense-defense team captain Mu Tianyi rushed over at top speed, entangling the monster's movements.

Jiang Zhi, standing in the corner watching the spectacle, asked: "Aren't you going over?"

Xie Xunze had no intention of going up to help, his gaze fell on the center of the square, his attitude indifferent.

"It's about to evolve."

Although the monster looks only C-rank, its strength is far greater; it's only one step away from evolving into B-rank.

The gap between B-rank and C-rank is a long watershed, with a huge difference in strength; none of them are a match for it.

Including himself, Xie Xunze is very self-aware.

Jiang Zhi said: "If we keep delaying, it'll be dawn."

By then, the monsters will all disappear, and the side quest will be judged a failure outright.

Xie Xunze wasn't anxious, he said casually: "There's still time."

Jiang Zhi knew he had many tricks, she shifted her gaze to the nearby male lead Mu Tianyi tangled with the monster.

The male lead is here, so the female lead must be nearby as well.

Here there is a plot: the monster suddenly evolves to B-rank, the male lead is in mortal danger, the female lead spends all her points to exchange for an item that transfers hatred.

She transfers all the monster's hatred onto the villain, and brings the male lead to escape from here.

Thus, because of this, the villain was seriously injured, then ate the corpse of the C-rank monster.

The professor at the base laboratory had studied the monster's flesh; ordinary people who eat it will undergo mutation and become monsters.

But the villain, being a villain, after eating the monster's flesh not only did not become a monster, but also gained an ability.

There is still a downside: the villain's body underwent mutation, often unable to control the thought of frenzied slaughter, and his temperament became even more erratic, violent and ruthless.

Jiang Zhi certainly didn't want him to become a truly emotionless monster.

So she will do her best to stop him from eating monster meat.

Ahead, just as the male lead was about to subdue the monster, a powerful and familiar pressure swept over the entire square; the monster's body swelled, and after letting out a sharp long howl, its strength broke through.

Mu Tianyi, who was nearest to him, hadn't even reacted before the monster slammed him hard onto the floor.

"Boom—"

The ground shook violently, a terrifying pressure bore down, making it hard to breathe.

The team members helplessly watched this scene, sitting on the ground as if awaiting death.

Xie Xunze suddenly moved, drew his steel blade, his silhouette darting through the night at astonishing speed.

Jiang Zhi couldn't keep up with him, could only walk step by step, sat down beside the square's bench, cupped her hands like a megaphone and shouted: "Be careful~"

In the entire square, aside from Xie Xunze, no one could hear her voice.

Xie Xunze's expression was cold, a hint of killing intent appearing in his eyes.

The newly evolved monster's abilities fell short of a true B-rank monster, far inferior to the B-rank monster encountered yesterday in the rift.

He still had a chance.

But he didn't know that the female lead, Wen Qian, used a hatred-transfer item, shifting everyone's hatred onto him alone.

Wen Qian didn't see the person clearly, and silently apologized in her heart.

They are the male and female leads, so only by staying alive can they save the world.

She will remember him; once the world returns to peace, she will surely recall his deeds.

Watching the male and female leads leave and disappear from sight, Jiang Zhi stretched.

It was time for her to appear.

Although her Character Card wasn't much use, even after upgrading it, it still had a slight effect.

After noticing the abnormality, Xie Xunze swiftly dodged the monster's attacks.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Zhi said, "Someone used an item on you, causing the monster's hatred toward you to go off the charts."

Xie Xunze's face turned cold.

He had already guessed who was behind it.

With no way out now, he bit his tongue, forced himself to stay calm, fixed his gaze on the monster rushing at him, raised his steel blade, executed a sliding tackle, instantly appearing behind the monster, intending to thrust the blade into its eyes on its back.

The monster reacted swiftly, dodging his blade and raising its claw to swipe at him.

Xie Xunze's pupils contracted; in that brief moment, he felt the card in his pocket grow hot.

"Call out my name~"

Her gentle, soft voice echoed in his ears, like a summer breeze brushing his forehead.

Xie Xunze, his voice hoarse, called out:

"Jiang Zhi."

The girl who had taken human form suddenly appeared before him, countless specks of light flickering and enveloping her; her lovely, beautiful face, as fair as sin, shimmered in the light, becoming dreamlike and illusory.

The monster's speed suddenly dropped, its eyes locked onto the girl floating in the air.

Xie Xunze's dark eyes reflected the flickering lights and the girl standing before him.

He admitted.

She was truly very beautiful.
