Chapter 302: Volume 1 Chapter 302 You Are My System (12)

After coming out of the abandoned factory, Jiang Zhi issued him a task.

【Today's task issuance is temporarily paused】

【Side quest issued: Go to Xintangshi to deal with an A-rank monster, reward unlocks the mysterious shop.】

【Main quest activated: Eliminate all monsters in the world, quest reward: One wish (any wish except destroying the world)】

Before issuing the task, Jiang Zhi didn't even know what kind of task it was; after looking at the task bar that appeared before her eyes, she froze for a moment, staring at that main quest for a long time.

"Make a wish? Axun, what's your wish?" she asked curiously.

Xie Xunze didn't answer her question, but instead asked: "After the main quest is completed, will you leave?"

He gazed deeply at her.

Jiang Zhi had never seen such a serious look in his eyes; she checked, then shook her head and said: "I don't know either."

Having said that, she instinctively asked: "If I leave after the quest ends, are you planning to wish for me to stay?"

Xie Xunze glanced at her nervous expression, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly: "Then I'll have to think about it again."

Jiang Zhi wasn't disappointed either, raising her eyebrows as she said: "I knew it, you definitely wish I'd leave sooner!"

Xie Xunze's brows furrowed slightly, his eye color darkened, and deep within, a viscous dark light surged.

"No." He lowered the emotion in his eyes, speaking lightly with drooped brows.

Jiang Zhi's thoughts jumped, quickly shifting from the wish matter to the side quest.

In the bounty mission hall, A-rank missions are all about eliminating B-rank monsters; over these six years, aside from encountering a few A-rank monsters during outdoor missions, they have had no further contact.

Even if they did encounter one, Xie Xunze would avoid it; if he couldn't avoid it, he would flee.

He would not confront an A-rank monster head-on.

Mainly because A-rank monsters are too strong; without a level of at least a hundred, facing them head-on is suicide.

Moreover, A-rank monsters possess human-like intelligence; they are cunning and suspicious, not so easy to kill.

According to the map, the monster's location is in Xintangshi; that urban area was the first place seized by monsters, designated a danger zone by the base government, and several elite troops sent there never returned, making it extremely perilous.

As one of the world's three highest-difficulty dungeons, in the story the male protagonist Mu Tianyi also only dared to go there after reaching level 150 and making full preparations, his life hanging by a thread, and he only escaped thanks to the female protagonist's Golden Finger.

And Xie Xunze's side quest this time is to go to Xintangshi; Jiang Zhi hesitated for a long time, then said haltingly: "The side quest has no time limit, do you want to grind your level some more..."

Xie Xunze, hearing that, gave a half-smile and asked: "Are you worried about me?"

Jiang Zhi's eyes flickered, and she answered firmly: "Yeah, Dad, I've watched you grow up, I don't want to see you throw your life away."

Xie Xunze gave a meaningful 'oh': "You really want to be my dad, huh?"

Jiang Zhi was about to reply 'yeah'.

Who knew Xie Xunze would narrow his eyes and say: "But you're younger than me; why not be my wife instead?"

Jiang Zhi: "?"

She bristled, held it in for a while, then blurted: "You're dreaming!"

Xie Xunze stretched his waist, continued walking forward, and said fearlessly: "I don't want such a fierce wife."

Jiang Zhi had no physical form; the fist she swung passed right through him, and she could only stomp her feet in anger behind him.

How did a normally quiet and taciturn boy become like this?

Huabeijidi is far from Xintangshi; previously one could take a plane or train, but now only driving works.

Xie Xunze finished the task he had taken from the bounty hall, intending to spend all his points.

Jiang Zhi glanced at the information on his tablet: total, units, tens… hundred thousands, millions, tens of millions.

Sixty million!

Because he had always accepted missions anonymously, his panel information was also hidden; on Huabeijidi's bounty hall leaderboard, the first place had been an unknown account since sometime ago, and aside from internal staff, no one knew that the top rank was him.

Over the course of six years, his 30-square-meter personal space expanded to five thousand square meters, about the size of a modern large supermarket.

It can hold far too many things.

He had long ago planned to periodically purchase large quantities of supplies anonymously, so as not to draw attention or alert the higher-ups.

Now his personal space already contains many items; counting vehicles alone, there are over ten cars, let alone the mountains of gasoline piled up.

Even so, he still has sixty million points left.

Xie Xunze didn't buy any more supplies; instead, he asked the girl beside him: "Where do you want to go play?"

In the post-apocalyptic base, there are still many places for entertainment, especially the bustling streets in the city center, the casino built by the base government, and the luxurious hotel that reaches into the clouds and opens only at night.

Without any restrictions, the entire city is immersed in decadence, satisfying every hunter's desires.

They have never been to those places.

Jiang Zhi, taking advantage of the pre-dawn darkness, pointed to the highest spot and exclaimed excitedly: "I want to go there!"

She has no interest in the lively streets or the casino; she only wants to go to the highest presidential suite to look around the base.

Seeing this, Xie Xunze felt a sudden surge of heat in his chest; upon meeting her gaze, he abruptly turned his eyes elsewhere.

"Okay."

Jiang Zhi didn't notice his oddity, clinging to him and saying: "I want a body~ hurry up and activate it~"

In the silent night, the girl's voice was like heavenly music, clear and moving, easily stirring the deepest desires in people's hearts.

Xie Xunze looked through the darkness at her shimmering beautiful eyes; the pathological possessive desire filling his chest was almost uncontrollable.

He never activates his physical form when others are present.

He claims it's to avoid frightening others by letting her out, but in truth he's hiding his own aversion to being seen.

In this world, only he can see her, hear her voice, touch her soft, silk-like delicate skin, feel her body's warmth, and smell her unique bewitching fragrance.

"Okay." Tonight he wants to fulfill her wish.

But.

Xie Xunze wrapped her body tightly, even covering her whole face with a light gauze scarf, leaving only a pair of lively, clear eyes visible.

"Is it okay? Ah Xun~" she blinked, her long, dense crow-black lashes fluttering like butterfly wings.

Xie Xunze said satisfied: "It's okay."

Having said that, he didn't give her a chance to refuse, seized the fingers hidden in her sleeve, and led her onto the base's sightseeing car to the city center.

Consumption in the city center is extremely high, prices are quite steep; even wanting a cup of milk tea would cost 600 points.

They usually only need 20 points for a meal.

Jiang Zhi took two sips, didn't find it tasty, wanted to toss it, but the boy beside her caught it.

"Waste." Xie Xunze said so, but his tone carried no hint of blame.

The Stupid System loves to eat but is picky, taking only two bites of any food before the rest goes into its stomach.
