Chapter 3: I Became Friends with the System

  Ling Yue hesitated for a moment, biting her lower lip hard, and finally closed her small red mouth again under Ye Chen's frightened gaze. Then she hastily put on an outer garment, opened the door and rushed to the hall, and before leaving, she didn't forget to glare at Ye Chen again with a fierce expression, saying in a low voice: "You wait!"

  Until the figure of Suzuka disappeared at the end of the corridor, Ye Chen finally let out a heavy sigh. For a moment just now, he felt as if his heart had stopped beating. Fortunately, things didn't develop in the worst direction after all. Suzuka was indeed a kind and gentle good sister. Haha, too cute!

  …………

  "What? You wrote a letter to the system?"

  In the hall, beside the dinner table, the twelve sisters spoke in unison, looking at Ye Chen with incredulous eyes, their gaze seeming to regard him as an idiot.

  "Yes, they say the system is an all-powerful master, and I'm going to cling to its thigh. What's wrong?" Ye Chen looked at the crowd of girls in confusion, not understanding why they were reacting so abnormally.

  "There's a problem, it's big trouble! Your understanding, the system is a person!? Who told you that?" Er Jie Xu Ruolin's face was tense, but her mouth kept twitching as if she was enduring some painful thing.

  "I heard it from players in the game, today at the tavern..."

  Ye Chen was speaking, the girls around him had already started to stifle their giggles, and when he finished telling the whole story, the girls in the hall completely burst into laughter, laughing so hard they were doubling over, flowers shaking wildly, several girls with particularly low laugh points were already holding their bellies and couldn't catch their breath.

  Ye Chen's face had already turned a bit dark, what's the big deal about wanting to hug the thigh of a super master? Why are you guys laughing like this? It's not right, it's really not right.

  "Alright, alright, stop laughing, no one is allowed to laugh, I said no laughing, hehe, hehehe..." Second sister Xu Ruolin took a deep breath, looking at Ye Chen's dark face, trying to stop the girls' loud laughter, but she couldn't help it and burst out laughing too.

  It took two or three minutes for the girls' laughter to gradually subside, mainly because the main girls who laughed the most had almost fainted from laughing too hard and couldn't laugh anymore.

  "This can't be blamed on Ye Chen, mainly it's because our knowledge dissemination is not thorough enough. As for the system problem, I'll explain it again. What we call a system isn't a person, but..." Second sister Xu Ruolin explained with a smile, helping to clarify things for Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen was stunned, after being educated, he finally realized that he had done something very foolish and naive, having no culture is really too scary, it's embarrassing to the point of losing face in front of his ancestors.

  Next, the sisters are going to have a meeting, but it has nothing to do with Ye Chen, this logistics rookie, so he was driven back to his room to sleep...

  Ye Chen had a dream, in which he was buried under countless gold coins and equipment, so he quickly laughed himself awake.

  Opened my eyes to find it was already past 5 o'clock in the morning, couldn't sleep anymore, so I got up early and cooked breakfast for everyone. After eating a few mouthfuls myself, I went back to my room to log into the game. Yesterday I got killed and lost a level, today I must work harder to earn back the lost experience.

  Put on the helmet and log in to the game, open your eyes and you're already inside the game. People are coming and going around you, and it's still the same place where you logged off yesterday. Just as you're about to leave, a synthesized electronic voice suddenly rings in your ear: Ding dong, there is an unread email in your mailbox.

  Unread emails?

  Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, her feet subconsciously stopping in their tracks. Who would be writing to her?! Could it be...

  Thinking of a certain possibility, Ye Chen suddenly felt his mouth dry up, but thinking again he thought it was impossible, because he already knew that the "system" wasn't a person, but who else would write letters to himself?

  Excitement, nervousness, anticipation, all mixed together in Yue Chen's heart at this moment.

  "Whatever, let's see who wrote it first!" Shaking off the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Ye Chen quickly walked over to the mailbox and pulled out the letter inside. As soon as she opened it, she was stunned!

  Because in the sender's name column at the bottom right of the letterhead, a name that should never have appeared appeared: System!

  Heaven, could it be that I am just dreaming?

  "The system actually wrote a letter to itself! No, to be accurate, the system actually replied to its own letter!"

  Ye Chen felt that his brain was not enough, after yesterday's knowledge popularization, he already knew that the so-called "system" should be just a program, how could it reply to him? With a strong doubt, Ye Chen's gaze turned to the content page of the letter.

  "Hello, player Ye Chen, I am Godly Domain's game management system, Super Intelligent Brain, No. 2058..."

  After reading the entire letter, Ye Chen was stunned, staring blankly at the paper in his hand, and for a moment he couldn't come to his senses.

  That self-proclaimed Super Intelligent Brain 2058 actually claims to be the divine game management system, saying that it read the letter written by Ye Chen, so it wrote a reply back to him. What's even more absurd is that in the letter, it expressed its willingness to help Ye Chen change his fate and even showed intention of becoming good friends with Ye Chen within the game!!!

  Ye Chen felt like he was going crazy, it...it...the system actually said it would help him change his fate!

  I'm going crazy! Did I get hallucinations from playing games?

  Ye Chen couldn't help but wonder if someone was playing a prank on him.

  But the two words "system" in the sender's location are absolutely impossible to fake. When players enter the game and take a name, the two words "system" are blocked, which means that no player can have these two words in their game nickname. In this case, there is only one answer, that is, the one who wrote the letter to himself is indeed - System!!!

  Heaven, having come to this conclusion, Ye Chen suddenly felt his thoughts were in disarray. Now he was extremely clear what the system was!

  The system is the ruler of the game world! It's the supreme god of the game world! Without exaggeration, in the game world, the system is God! The God of the virtual world!

  Now God says what? Says it wants to help itself change its fate!

  Ye Chen's eyes widened as he stared at the letter in his hand, his mind filled with nothing but incredulity and astonishment...

  Whether it's the system in a virtual world or God in the real world, they should only be legendary existences. In this world, no one has ever seen God. Similarly, in the virtual world, the system is just a name and should only be an intelligent program, not a life form with wisdom!

  If a comparison must be made, it should be similar to the "Tao" in Eastern mythology, perhaps existing but absolutely not having autonomous consciousness.

  But now, this virtual world's God, or the existence similar to the Way of Heaven, has obviously subverted Ye Chen's cognition. It has gained autonomous consciousness and written a letter to Ye Chen...

  "Ding, system prompt, System 2058 requests to add you as a friend."

  A crisp electronic synthesizer sound rang in Ye Chen's ears, completely stunning him.

  System...... Does it really want to add itself as a friend????

  Ye Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his brain suddenly became exceptionally clear at that moment. Making friends with the system was like becoming good friends with God in the virtual world! The benefits were self-evident...

  It's a big win!

  Ye Chen's heart began to beat uncontrollably, thinking about the benefits of becoming friends with the system, he was so excited that he was almost out of breath, fearing that the system would regret it, his right hand quickly clicked the confirm button.

  "Ding, System 2058 is now friends with you."

  "I'm going crazy! I really made friends with the system!" Ye Chen exclaimed excitedly in his heart.

  It's going to be prosperous! This time it's really going to be prosperous!
