CH 9
I couldn’t figure out how to put an end to all this embarrassment, so I shoved Ye Tan back into the room, probably because my mind was too muddled.
But before closing the door, I saw that the Shadow Guard’s eyes were bright, so I assumed it wasn’t a bad thing.
In order to save the fragile beds of the doctor’s place, I lay down again in the middle of the courtyard and continued to get caught up in my misgivings. It wasn’t until the sun moved westward and stars covered the curtain of night that I fell into a deep sleep.
I didn’t realize when, unable to make heads or tails of it, I had somehow clipped into the modifier interface again.
Coming directly from the land of dreams, I didn’t immediately realize what had happened, but as I was contemplating, I saw the projection from the real-time monitor.
At this time, the sky was already gradually getting brighter, and Ye Tan was leaning over and half-kneeling beside my sleeping body, his hair hanging down and covering my face.
..Isn’t he really kissing me?!!
I didn’t guess wrong!! Launching the program was really the result of Ye Tan kissing me?!
This is alarming. What was I thinking when I set this activating condition?! What happened during the 75 years of preparation?! Was there something wrong with my brain???
Though I was shocked, I also diligently tried to figure it out: it was the same action during the day, but it had failed to activate the panel successfully. Could the difference be that I took the initiative during the day? Maybe it’s that Ye Tan has to take the initiative, while I can’t know it myself, so I have to be kissed secretly..??
With this conclusion, I felt more and more that I was really toxic.
On the other side, Ye Tan was already satisfied, standing up. He was holding a square plate in his hand, along with a few sets of bowls and chopsticks. It seemed that he had just gone to get breakfast and returned. I composed myself and hurriedly went to change the data.
In the cultivation box, there were no less than 7 extra zeroes, making the number 50000000. It seemed that I had been truly very startled at the time..
I deleted a few zeroes shamefully, but I didn’t know what number would be the standard. Was there anything I could use as a reference?
The data of the people I had met recently happened to show up on the side. Ye Tan’s martial arts were completely gone, and all the values ??were so extremely low that they were useless as a reference. The other statistics were of ordinary people, which were also all very low, so I searched some more..Ah. Here it was — Ze Que.
His stats were truly very impressive, and copying it wouldn’t have been excessive, but there was something strange that caught my attention.
The column indicating his life energy HP unexpectedly showed:
HP: 40/3000
What happened? The upper limit of 3000 is natural for a good warrior, but now only 40 points were left. Didn’t this mean that he was on the verge of dying?
I was a bit curious, but I couldn’t turn on real-time monitoring on his side. The option was grayed out, requiring me to first obtain administrator rights.
I had to give up, so I went to change other things first. I copied Ze Que’s data almost exactly, but added 500 more for each item. This way, even if I had to fight him in the future, I could at least easily protect Ye Tan and retreat.
After saving my ability stats, I felt much more relieved. Next was what excited me the most, though..money!
How much should I change it to? I need at least enough to pay the inn.. Pah, I can’t be that poor. I want to buy ten big mansions, hire a hundred chefs, open up gourmet restaurants, and collect many, many beds. I never want to sleep on limestone again in my life, truly!
Hmph, let’s make it one hundred million taels first. If it’s not enough, I’ll add more!
I smugly entered a series of 0s, cheerfully hitting Enter.
A prompt popped up: [By default, excess gold coins are placed in the main character’s surroundings. Confirm?]
Confirm.
A golden light flashed, and swoosh swoosh swoosh, there was an enormous amount of gold in the yard, piled layer after layer even higher than the ceilings. The entire courtyard was bursting full of gold in an instant, and not being able to fit inside, it could only continue to spread out, persistently manifesting on the streets outside. The gold bars made branches bend and made ceilings collapse, flowing everywhere like a mountainous flash flood.
For a moment, the medical hall was bright and bejeweled, dazzling inside and out.
Ye Tan was scared into shock by this magnificent scene, and his hands trembled, making the porcelain plates he was holding shatter all over the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the interface suddenly turned red, and with a beep, I was forced to exit the modifier.
When I opened my eyes, Ye Tan was looking back at me. The plates in his hands were steady, and the porcelain dishes and bowls were properly placed inside.
The surroundings contained only a cool breeze blowing gently, without a trace of gold.
..This beep, I’m familiar with.
This is.
System.
Fucking.
Retraction.
Just then, as the modifier encountered an error and I was kicked out, it was accompanied by a few lines: [Error Prompt: Previous operation triggered the suspicion of too many people in this world. System has retracted the file.]
[Remaining system retractions: 1/3]
[If the number of retractions exceeds the limit, this world will shut down permanently.]
..I’ve played too much.
