Chapter 540 You're Just My Conquest Mission (9)
Having survived a harrowing night, the next day they learned that the doctor who performed the surgery had encountered an accident, and the surgery had to be postponed.
This news came as a huge surprise to Zhang Yurou's family, who even suspected that Zhang Yuqing had pulled some strings and no longer wanted to donate her heart and kidneys.
Fortunately, the doctor arrived at the critical moment.
Su Dingding recognized him at a glance; it was Gangzi.
"What's going on?"
[Host, don't worry, we'll catch you in the act soon!]
The surgery proceeded as scheduled, and Su Dingding and Zhang Yurou were both wheeled into the operating room.
Gangzi was very serious as he prepared for surgery.
Suddenly, time stood still in the operating room, and everyone was frozen in place, completely immobile.
Gangzi and Su Dingding exchanged a glance, held their breath, and waited quietly.
A faint ball of light appeared, and Gangzi quickly cast a net to capture it. Su Dingding also set up a barrier to prevent it from escaping.
"You're the little system that picks up and drops off mission takers, right?" Su Dingding asked.
After struggling for a while, the little ball of light quieted down.
"Aren't you Ji Ruchu?" the little ball of light asked in surprise.
Su Dingding released Ji Ruchu's soul, stood in front of the little ball of light, and asked in a low voice, "You promised me that if I completed the mission, I could return to my original world and resurrect my parents and boyfriend. Why are you playing tricks on me?"
The small ball of light changed shape and said arrogantly, "If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago. You should feel proud to be a mission taker. This small world has a serious bug and needs to be repeatedly opened and repaired. You haven't done enough!"
Ji Ruchu bit her lip angrily and looked at Su Dingding.
Before Su Dingding could speak, Gangzi had already tightened the net that was capturing the small ball of light and started rotating it 360 degrees.
"Damn it, you little legitimate systems are going too far! I need to have a serious talk with you." Before Gangzi could finish speaking, he disappeared along with the little ball of light.
Su Dingding patted Ji Ruchu on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, Gangzi went to reason with it, and this matter will be resolved when he comes back in a while."
Ji Ruchu was clearly still somewhat disappointed. If it weren't for her firm belief, she wouldn't have been able to persevere. After all, being a devoted follower of someone you don't love for so many years is really exhausting.
Fortunately, Gangzi returned shortly afterward with a small, colorful ball of light.
The previously bright little ball of light is now patchy with blue, purple, black, and red marks. The system audio is intermittent, and it's flashing with electrical current, looking like it's about to break down.
[Host, everything has been clarified. The real Zhang Yuqing in this small world has awakened and bound herself to a corrupted system, causing many vulnerabilities in this small world. In order to repair these vulnerabilities, she was temporarily bound to Ji Ruchu. She will never be able to complete the mission, nor will she be able to return to her original world.]
Gangzi's words struck Ji Ruchu like a thunderbolt, shattering her beliefs completely.
"Don't panic yet. As long as you break free from the binding with this little bastard system, I can help you return to your original world!" Gangzi spun around, and the eyes of several large spiders gleamed.
Su Dingding laughed speechlessly, speaking in a deep, breathless voice, which was terrifying!
Ji Ruchu's gloomy heart immediately dissipated.
"Thank you, Gangzi. You truly are the most amazing system—kind and capable!"
[Haha, it's just so-so.] Gangzi loves it when people praise it.
Xiao Guangtuan was kicked by Gangzi and hurriedly untied himself from Ji Ruchu.
[Big brother, I've done everything you asked, please let me go.] The little ball of light's system voice was starting to weaken.
Gangzi thought he had already taught it a lesson, so he let it go.
As a result, after breaking free of his restraints, the bald boy suddenly became arrogant, saying, "You just wait, I'm going back to report to the main system right now. What are you so cocky about, you wild system bastard!"
【Ouch!】
Unfortunately, it crashed into the barrier set up by Su Dingding and bounced back.
Now, it was in an awkward situation. It jumped up from the ground, flustered and at a loss.
Su Dingding stretched out two fingers and pinched it, his eyes full of mockery.
"You look down on our wild croaker?"
"You're dead meat! You dare to look down on me? You've really messed with me!" Gangzi said smugly, raising his head.
The little ball of light didn't take Su Dingding seriously. He was just a host; how much power could he possibly have?
It was like a lump of clay constantly changing shape in Su Dingding's hands.
[Dare to bully me? The System God will not let you get away with this!]
Gangzi rolled his eyes in disdain. "I already checked, the main system can't find this task at all. Clearly, you're just a lone wolf too."
The little ball of light was completely dumbfounded. How could they find this out?
I'm not a wild one! I'm just a useless leader who wants to prove myself!
Other systems thrive after binding with a host, but this one binds with useless people who drift along with the tide. They are either infatuated with the male protagonist of the small world or unable to let go of their status and position in the small world. In short, none of them are reliable.
In the end, it was the only one that suffered the consequences. After several failed missions, it was deemed a worthless system and was to be destroyed.
It was unwilling to give up, so it ran away and went out on its own.
It will repair all these small worlds that collapsed because of it, proving its strength.
Ji Ruchu is the most reliable host it has bound to, allowing it to focus on its mission without being disturbed by external factors.
However, its energy is limited, and it has to hide and evade capture to prevent itself from being taken back and destroyed, so each small world needs to be repaired multiple times.
Last time, it seemed that the main system detected the small world's restart, causing it to flee in panic and make a mistake, which led to Ji Ruchu accidentally falling into the Abyss of Vengeful Ghosts.
I thought I had lost this host, but unexpectedly she suddenly came back.
The little ball of light was overjoyed; it had hope again.
I never expected that this hope would turn into despair!
Knowing the truth, Gangzi was even more furious. [What a selfish and self-serving system! It actually used Ji Ruchu!]
The little ball of light grumbled indignantly, "She didn't lose out either. If it weren't for me, she would have died long ago, not even a trace of her bones would remain. I let her live a long time longer, and she ate and dressed well, enjoying so much wealth and luxury. You ask her what kind of miserable life she had in her original world?"
Ji Ruchu was also furious. Her eyes were red as she shouted, "So you think I've been living a life of luxury all these years here? Even if I were eating coarse food and wild vegetables, I would still be happy. You've deceived me for so many years, and I trusted you so much..."
[What's wrong with you?] The little ball of light couldn't understand, and its already intermittent voice suddenly went completely silent.
Gangzi didn't want it to say anything more that would hurt Ji Ruchu.
"Ruchu, don't be sad. Gangzi can take you back. Live a good life from now on."
Su Dingding didn't want to waste any more time, and Ji Ruchu hugged Su Dingding, "Thank you, you made my dream come true."
"You have sacrificed so much for your family, this is your blessing."
Su Dingding retrieved the fragment of divine consciousness and took a step back.
Gangzi quickly wrote the program for Ji Ruchu's world based on her memories and finally found a matching portal.
[I can't pinpoint the exact time of time travel, but I can assure you it's before the car accident. Once I get back, I'll be a happy young lady!]
