Chapter 8 The real purpose of the system

In the end, Chen Li didn't push Su Ziying too far, lest she suffer any mental problems.

"Forget it, here you go."

Chen Li handed the hair dryer to Su Ziying and continued:
  "Remember to be realistic and less vain in the future."

Su Ziying took the hair dryer and said coldly: "That's my original appearance."

Her "psychic power" allows her to change her body shape, but now she doesn't have the ability to maintain it.

"Oh."

Chen Li was noncommittal and didn't say anything else. He just sat and watched her blow drying her hair.

After blowing his hair, Chen Li took the hair dryer and put it back in its place.

At the same time, she handed Su Ziying a set of pajamas.

"This is the only thing here, just make do with your clothes first."

Su Ziying took it silently.

Chen Li still looked at her, and neither of them moved.

It wasn't until she saw her face turning red again that Su Ziying said angrily:

"When do you want to see it?!"

Seeing Su Ziying's angry look, Chen Li smiled and said: "Sorry, sorry, you are so good-looking, I accidentally looked at you for a while, so I turned around."

When I recover, I will make sure you look good!
  Seeing that the other party was teasing her and still smiling, Su Ziying felt that her self-esteem as a new human being was being trampled on.

But she really can't do anything to him now.

Su Ziying struggled to put on her clothes under the quilt, being careful throughout the process, for fear that Chen Li would suddenly turn his head.

But the truth is that she was overthinking.

Although Chen Li doesn't like her, he won't take advantage of her at will.

This is the bottom line issue.

After a while, Chen Li noticed that there was no movement behind him and asked, "Are you dressed?"

"Humph!"

What responded to him was Su Ziying's dissatisfied cold snort.

It seems to be dressed.

Chen Li turned around and saw Su Ziying sitting on the bed in her pajamas, staring at him coldly.

Chen Li ignored her look, came to the bed and pulled up a chair to sit down.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

It was impossible for Chen Li not to be curious about why Su Ziying fell into her current situation.

He could also see that Su Ziying now had trouble even blowing her own hair, let alone using powers, and her body was extremely weak.

What made her like this?

Thinking of Su Ziying's power to instantly kill wolves during the day, and the power of the new humans that can truly destroy the world, Chen Li believed that if it were just wild animals such as wolves, even if all the animals on the planet came together, I'm afraid not even a single hair on her head could be harmed.

Perhaps what hurt her was the unknown dangers in this world described by the system.

This information is very important to him.

He had only encountered a pack of wolves before, and no other dangerous things had happened. He subconsciously thought that the danger here was not very great and relaxed his vigilance.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Even Su Ziying has become like this. If he encounters her, the only outcome will be death.

Understanding what the potential unknown danger is will determine whether he can successfully complete this survival mission.

"It's useless if you know."

Su Ziying didn't want to answer, closed her eyes, leaned on the back of the bed and replied in a cold voice.

"Are you really not going to tell me?"

Su Ziying turned away and did not answer.

"Then don't blame me for being rude..."

The next second, Chen Li's voice suddenly became very close. Su Ziying immediately opened her eyes and found that he had knelt on the bed and was close to her.

"you!!!"

She was shocked and angry, and punched him subconsciously.

In the past, even the punch could shatter the building, but now it was like cotton, and Chen Li easily caught it. Su Ziying's expression froze.

Chen Li let go of her palm, letting her little fist escape, and joked: "You don't seem to have the right to refuse me now, do you?"

Su Ziying said with a sullen face: "You are treating me like this now, aren't you afraid that I will kill you after I recover?"

"Why are you afraid?"

Chen Li sat on the edge of the bed, a little further away from her, and said with a smile: "Have I done anything to you so far? You suddenly appeared here, and I gave you a place to rest. Not only did I let you put your hair I blew you dry and put some clothes on you.”

"I'm helping you every step of the way."

"Now I just want to know what happened to you."

Hearing this, Su Ziying felt for a moment that he was right.

But soon, she reacted.

What he said was indeed true, but the process made her suffer humiliation, which she could not accept.

"I won't say it. I've said it before, and it's useless even if you know it."

You are just an old human being.

Su Ziying added in her heart.

She was a little afraid of Chen Li. If she said this, he might tease her in some way.

Chen Li continued: "How do you know it's useless if I know it? Just because I'm an old human?"

Su Ziying thought for a while and said, "You... are too weak."

This……

Chen Li couldn't refute for a while.

In terms of strength, he is indeed weak.

But that didn't stop him from wanting to know the facts.

"Anyway, don't worry about whether it will be useful if I know it. Just say it."

Oh?
  Seeing Chen Li's serious expression, as if he really wanted to know what she had encountered, Su Ziying's mood suddenly improved.

With all her strength gone, she finally had the leverage to negotiate with Chen Li!
  So, Su Ziying said: "Since you want to know so much, it doesn't hurt if I tell you."

"only……"

"Just what?"

Su Ziying thought for a while, looked into Chen Li's eyes and said, "As a condition, you need to help me regain my strength."

"Help you regain your strength?"

Chen Li refused without even thinking: "No, the conditions are not equal."

"The best I can do is help you get through your current period of weakness. I can take care of you for a while before you return to normal mobility."

and many more……

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Li suddenly thought of something.

Why did the system choose her as its companion?
  If you just want to prevent yourself from being alone, then just anyone can come.

But the system chose Su Ziying, a new human with powerful power, as its companion...

Plus now that she's in this situation again...so that I can negotiate terms with her...

Chen Li finally felt that he understood the system's intention.

Yes!

Since he has chosen her as his companion, does that mean that he needs to use her power for this mission?

Her role is not just to solve loneliness through companionship.

At this moment, Chen Li felt like he was playing a game.

He is the player and Su Ziying is the NPC.

He wants to negotiate with the NPC to become a companion, let her be used by him, and achieve the hidden requirements of the system.

Only in this way can the task be completed, which is also the real purpose of the system!

Thinking of this, Chen Li changed his tone and said again: "But..."

"Seeing as you helped me during the day, if you agree to some conditions, I can't help you regain your strength."

Although he didn't know exactly how to recover, but no matter what, he had to say it first and achieve his goal.
