The system asked me to chase his wife

Since Xia Mang had exposed it anyway, he simply stopped installing the system.

The voice in her head was more human, and closer to the person in Xia Mang's memory.

'Yes and no.'

Xia Mang: "Speak human language."

System: '. Transforming into a shoemaker is just a temporary solution, just to select a host.'

Xia Mang was a little shocked: "Then what on earth are you?"

The system issued a warning: "Please do not make personal attacks! This machine has already left the carbon-based biological sequence and enjoys the protection of the "System Law"! "

Xia Mang was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he asked: "So you were a human before?"

The accidentally exposed system was silent for a moment and said, "No comment!"

'Then why did you choose to cheat me?'

The system was unhappy: "How can this be called a trap?"

Xia Mang was too lazy to argue with it, so he waved his hand and said, "Then what is your purpose in looking for me? What is the purpose of the mission you issued?"

It was understandable that the first mission asked her to stay in the Duke's Mansion. She traveled to ancient times and was unfamiliar with the place, so the most important thing was to find a place to gain a foothold.

This second task requires her to stay in the yard for half an hour?

Xia Mang felt quite confused.

Where is this going?
In response to Xia Mang's question, the system remained silent for a longer time this time.

Xia Mang sensed something else from the silence and made some bizarre guesses.

"I say, you don't even know your own purpose, do you?"

system:'.'

Feeling that he seemed to be right, Xia Mang twitched his lips and said speechlessly: "Don't tell me this is your first time as a system?"

This time the system did not give Xia Mang the chance to continue talking.

Suddenly, a busy electronic "beep" sounded in my mind. After the beep, the system returned to its serious mechanical sound.

A series of messages rang in Xia Mang's mind.

'The host has violated Article 21 of the System Law and is hereby given an initial warning!'

'The host has violated Article 99 of the System Law and is hereby given another warning!'

'Due to the system's own omissions, the above two warnings are invalid! '

'System vulnerability repairing'

'Bug fix completed!'

'In view of the bad experience brought to the host by the system bug, we hereby give points as a reward! '

'Ding! Points have been received, please check!'

Xia Mang felt like her brain was hurt by all the information. She was a little confused as she digested the news she had just heard, and then subconsciously clicked on the points page.

'1050 points!'

Wow, he gave me a thousand points directly!

Can you get so many rewards just for checking a bug?
Xia Mang's eyes were bright, as if he had found a quick way to get rich.

The system seemed to sense Xia Mang's thoughts and immediately replied: "It was just an accident. Please do not try it lightly, otherwise it will be..."

Xia Mang interrupted: "Eliminated?"

System: '.Not really, just points were deducted.'

Xia Mang immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking an unconventional approach to earn points, and the system also keenly sensed Xia Mang's "vital point" at this moment.

Therefore, the system tried to add some sweeteners in the second negotiation with Xia Mang.

'The system task has been released. Please complete it as soon as possible. The host will receive additional points based on the completion of the task.'

'Does this mean there is a commission?'

Xia Mang's whole body stood up straight.

The system did not intend to answer this question, but just mechanically repeated, "Host, please complete the task as soon as possible."

Xia Mang was so annoyed that she had no choice but to take on the task.

When working, it is normal to encounter some clients making inexplicable requests!
As long as you can get points, you can do anything.

Calling up the system interface, Xia Mang checked the time and prepared to complete the task.

She was surprised to find that after the system had fixed the vulnerability, it even adjusted the time display on the interface to the ancient time system.

The time displayed on the interface at this time is four quarters past the hour, which is exactly within the time range required by the task.

Xia Mang walked out of the servants' courtyard, came to the corner door and looked out.

In the spacious main courtyard, one or two maids were walking around, either reporting matters or tending to the flowers and trees, all of them were quiet and silent.

Xia Mang didn't waste any time. She turned out of the corner door and walked to the corridor with her head down. In order not to attract too much attention from others, she walked close to the wall.

The servants who were walking around in the yard saw a little girl appear, just glanced at her and then went about their own business.

Xia Mang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that nothing happened.

But the mission required her to stay in the yard for half an hour, which was equivalent to an hour.

Even if she tried her best to be invisible, it would still seem abnormal, right? Just as she was thinking about it, the door to the main room was opened.

A maidservant wearing a pink dress and a silk flower of the same color on her head came out first.

Xia Mang recognized her at a glance. She had seen her when she passed by the main hall door today. Ji Tong had teased her about her love of beauty at that time.

The maid in the pink shirt lifted the door stop, and Ji Tong came out from behind, supporting an old lady.

There is no need to guess, you know this must be the lady in the Duke's Mansion.

The lady was wearing a wide-sleeved shirt with ochre and brown as patches, and her robe was embroidered with dark gold floral patterns of good fortune and longevity. She had a warm jade headband with a black background and gold threads tied around her forehead.

Ji Tong and another slim maid supported the lady on both sides out of the house and walked slowly along the corridor into the yard.

When Xia Mang saw a group of people coming out of the main house, the system in his mind suddenly made a strange "beep" sound.

Xia Mang subconsciously wanted to return to the servants' courtyard, but the beeping sound stopped abruptly, and then a mechanical voice sounded: "Host, please stay for half an hour!"

After being reminded like this, she had no choice but to turn around and stay where she was.

The old lady was supported by her maids and began to stroll in the yard. The yard of the main house was very spacious, and it took the old lady a quarter of an hour to walk around it.

At this time, she was walking around the yard in circles.

The maids in the yard were still busy with their own work, and every time the lady passed by, they would stop what they were doing and bow their heads.

Xia Mang stood in a corner of the yard and could only bow his head in greeting.

It's just that everyone has something to do, so it's kind of awkward for her to just stand there stupidly.
The lady had the habit of going out for a walk after her nap every day. If there was nothing special, she would usually just walk two or three laps in the yard.

Today, the lady found a strange girl while taking a walk.

The little girl stood at the edge of the yard, doing strange but rhythmic movements, stretching her arms, twisting her waist and shaking her head, or kicking and jumping.

After walking two circles, the lady finally couldn't bear it anymore. She turned around and asked Ji Tong who the little girl was.

Ji Tong naturally noticed Xia Mang, and when the old lady asked about it, he directly asked Xia Mang to come over and talk.

Xia Mang originally just wanted to make herself less bored, so she subconsciously started doing gymnastics, but she didn't expect that she was noticed by the lady.

She walked up to the old lady and lowered her head and eyes like the maids. The old lady asked her name and where she served.

Xia Mang answered one by one, and the lady knew that this person had been sent to the yard to serve today. She became curious about Xia Mang's actions just now.

"What were you doing earlier?" The lady laughed happily when she said this: "Even though I couldn't dance, it was still interesting."

Xia Mang blushed for a moment and answered honestly: "Madam, this is a gymnastics exercise, not dancing."

"Gymnastics? Sports?" The old lady was quite unfamiliar with the term, but the old lady's mind was very flexible. After a brief thought, she asked, "Do you mean physical training?"

Xia Mang pondered for a moment and said, "That's about right. Practicing more can help you stay healthy."

The old lady was somewhat tempted, but Ji Tong beside her frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense in front of the old lady. What do you, a country girl, know?"

The lady waved her hand and said to Ji Tong, "This is your ignorance. You don't know that those country folks work hard all year round and have the strongest bodies. It is common for them to know some tricks to strengthen their bodies."

Then he turned to ask Xia Mang: "Where are you from?"

Xia Mang was stunned. How could she know where this body's home was? But Zuo was just from a poor family, so she could only make up a story.

"I was sold by my family a long time ago, and I have long forgotten where I live."

Hearing her say this, the lady's tone was filled with pity: "Poor fellow, raise your head and speak."

Xia Mang got the answer and looked up at the lady.

The first thing you see is an old lady with a kind face. Her hair is all white and her eyes are full of the vicissitudes of life.

When he got closer, Xia Mang realized the old age of the lady. Even though she looked rich and noble, she could not withstand the wear and tear of time.

When Xia Mang was looking at the lady, the lady was also looking at Xia Mang. After taking a few glances, she praised him, "He is a pretty child with clever eyes."

After saying this, the lady had nothing else to say.

However, Ji Tong, who was accompanying her, saw that Xia Mangmumu didn't respond, so he taught her one more sentence: "The lady appreciates you, so you must work hard in the future and don't let her down!"

Xia Mang was a little confused after receiving the praise for nothing, but after hearing Ji Tong's reminder, he nodded repeatedly to show his loyalty.

After walking around for two rounds, the lady felt tired and went back to the house.

Xia Mang kept track of the time and stayed in the yard for a full hour before returning to the servants' quarters. Then the reminder sounded in his mind.

'Ding, mission completed, 50 points earned.'

'According to the system's evaluation, the task completion is excellent, and you will receive 50 bonus points.'

'The points have been received, please check it carefully.'

Xia Mang twitched his lips, rolled his eyes and complained: "When can the system fix this stingy bug?"

system:'.'

Xia Mang asked again: "Excuse me, system, how many points do I need to return to my original world?"

The system gave a despairing number: '100000.'

After counting the string of zeros at the end, Xia Mang couldn't hold it in any longer: "Why didn't you tell me from the beginning that I couldn't expect to go back in this lifetime!"

The system mechanically said: "The more tasks the host completes, the greater the chance of returning." "You don't care about your dignity, right? You want to exploit capital, right? Why don't you just go and rob?"

System: 'Please do not make personal attacks on the host. The system is protected by the System Law. If the host insists on doing so, points will be deducted! '

Xia Mang was speechless, and silently added in his heart: Capital is the root of all evil!
