Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 105

Shu Manli suppressed her displeasure and asked, "You didn't come home the whole day yesterday. What on earth did you do?"

Yun Ximo did not respond and touched her hungry stomach.

Shu Manli's voice became even colder: "I'm asking you a question. Ignoring your elders is rude and uneducated."

Yun Ximo finally raised her eyes, her eyes calm, and she slowly said, "You are such a good actor, are you tired?" This sentence was like a thunderclap out of the blue, making Shu Manli stunned for a moment. She almost thought she had misheard, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily. "What are you talking about?"

The butler who followed closely behind him held his breath, sweating profusely, and kept wiping his forehead with his sleeve.

The news that the Yun family had brought back a young lady on their way was no secret in high society, known throughout the entire circle. She had always carefully played the role of a loving elder, but now that disguise had been ruthlessly torn apart, Shu Manli felt as if every layer of protective shield she had carefully woven had been completely stripped away. A chill ran through her bones, and her limbs were icy cold.

After a moment, Shu Manli quickly adjusted her mood. Although her face was unhappy, she ordered in an unquestionable tone: "How can you be so unbecoming now? What kind of socialite would stay out all night?"

The girl's casual sitting posture further infuriated Shu Manli. "Did all the etiquette lessons you took go to waste? Look at you now. Where's the demeanor of a lady from a noble family?"

Yun Ximo's face was calm. She stretched out her long legs casually and placed them directly on the coffee table. Her behavior seemed more casual and natural.

Her expression revealed an indomitable spirit that was even more striking, and she calmly replied, "I've had this habit since I was a child."

Shu Manli's brows were furrowed, and her tone revealed obvious displeasure: "Ximo, you really need to curb your willfulness. If you continue like this, if you accidentally offend someone in a high position of power one day, how can I, as your aunt, protect you? And you let the Yun family..."

The girl went upstairs without waiting for her to finish her words.

Shu Manli's face was gloomy. She slammed the table, and the teacup made a heavy sound that shook everyone's heart. The housekeeper lowered his head and dared not breathe.

"Look at her attitude, and listen to what she said!" Shu Manli was furious, mixed with grievance. "I tried my best to play the role of an elder. Who can understand the hardships involved?"

"Madam, please calm down." After some consideration, the housekeeper advised, "The eldest lady did not grow up in a wealthy family. She is used to a free and unrestrained life, so it is inevitable that she acts a little casually."

"Casual?" Shu Manli laughed in anger, her anger growing even stronger. "When I first met her when she came back with the old man, I thought she was a docile child. Who would have thought she would do something as horrific as pushing her own aunt into the lake?"

"In the final analysis, it's my fault for not teaching Ximo well." Shu Manli's face showed a look of self-blame. "I was too impatient, and it aroused her rebellious psychology."

"Madam has done well!" The housekeeper said with disgust. "She has received Madam's motherly guidance. What else could she not be satisfied with?"

Shu Manli sighed: "Ximo has suffered too much, unlike Xiaotong?"

"How can she compare to the Second Young Miss?" The housekeeper sneered. "Wasn't the Second Young Miss at the top of her grade in that exam? Unlike the First Young Miss, she skipped school, got into fights, and spent all day hanging out with a bunch of hooligans. It's truly shameful."

Shu Manli frowned and said, "Don't say that... Ximo's grades are pretty good."

The housekeeper sneered: "You are far from the second young lady. I'm afraid she can't even get into a third-tier university." Suddenly, his neck hurt, and he recalled the scene just now and felt a chill.

The housekeeper quickly reminded her, "Madam, it seems you haven't called the Second Miss back yet... Oh, I was so angry that I forgot about Xiaotong."

Shu Manli pressed her temples, picked up her cell phone and quickly dialed the number.

After Yun Ximo entered the room, she quickly closed the door, put down her backpack, took out a notebook from the bag, walked straight to the desk and opened it.

The desktop interface was simple and clear, displaying only two chat apps and a web browser. Yun Ximo tapped the keyboard a few times, and the screen instantly transformed, revealing a different scene. After completing this series of operations, she closed the computer and went to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, she used her mobile phone to browse the content of interest. Suddenly, a WeChat notification flashed at the top of the screen. It was a message from a friend of her original body.

She switched back to the WeChat interface.

The dog friend's message was straightforward: [What's going on with your fiancé?]

Immediately afterwards, a screenshot was sent.

Yun Ximo clicked on the picture, and it expanded to reveal Yun Yimeng's WeChat Moments post, with a playful caption: [It was a misunderstanding before!]

The accompanying picture shows her and her noble fiancé Shi Heshen embracing each other. As the young master of the Shi family in Dongcheng, Shi Heshen naturally attracts attention.

Under the photo, comments and likes poured in like a tide, all revealing Yun Yimeng's extensive network of contacts and good popularity.

Who in Dongcheng doesn’t know the profoundness of the times?
——Oh my God, Master Shi finally fell in love with a worldly desire!
——Goddess Yun, it’s back to you!
——Congratulations to Goddess Yun!

——Where is Yun Ximo?

——Let’s not mention the third party who destroyed the relationship between our goddess Yun and Shi Shao!
——Yes, yes, yes, let’s not mention it. She is not even worthy of carrying shoes for Goddess Yun.

These comments are all below the screenshot.

The dog friend was indignant and continued to send messages to Yun Yimeng: "I'm so angry, she obviously did it on purpose, and now this matter has spread everywhere, what's going on?"

If this picture had not been sent by a dog friend, Yun Ximo would not have known about it, after all, the original body did not have Yun Yimeng's WeChat.

Yun Yimeng's reply seemed quite indifferent: [As you can see, so be it.]

The dog friend was obviously dissatisfied with this answer and directly responded: [Are you stupid? That's your fiancé! ]

Yun Ximo simply replied with an "Oh" and nothing else.

Yun Ximo thought of the love-development game she played on Silver Moon Star.

Since she has come to Earth and this game was developed by Earthlings, she will definitely be able to log into the game smoothly.

She took action immediately after thinking of it. Su Bai slid her fingertips and found the mall in the mobile phone app.

Enter text to search for the game and start the download process. It only took a dozen minutes for the game to be downloaded.

However, since it is a large mobile game, in addition to the main game, you also need to download the installation package and update package, which usually takes half an hour to an hour.

While Yun Ximo was waiting to download the update package, she first went to the web version to take a look.

——6D love development game: the development of handsome guys.

The interface design of this APP is extremely sophisticated and exquisite. The handsome men depicted on it are all lifelike 6D images, wearing white shirts and straight suit pants, showing impeccable golden ratio figures.

The moment the APP is launched, a series of delicate animations appear before your eyes. As the pictures flow, they are accompanied by rhythmic music and footsteps, as if every sound accurately strikes Yun Ximo's heartstrings.

In the animation, the perspective of the game characters switches flexibly, leading the viewer to immerse in this double feast of vision and hearing.

Then, the scene in the game switched, and a shirtless handsome man was seen walking into the bathroom.

The water from the shower wet his hair, making his face clearer. Yun Ximo's eyes couldn't help but fall on his chest muscles that looked full of strength.

She reached out and poked his chest with her finger on the screen.

The action elicited a reaction from the in-game character, who let out a gasping sound.

"Wow, that panting sound... sounds like..."

She just wants to tease handsome guys, even in games.

——Somewhere.

At this moment in the bathroom, the man frowned, and he felt as if a pair of soft hands were gently poking his chest.

However, he looked around and found that there was no one else in the bathroom except himself.

At this moment, Yun Ximo's mobile phone screen interface displays several handsome male characters in the game.

[Game Tips: The number one male protagonist is in an abnormal state—he does not exist]

Then, [System Notice: Exited the game environment]

Yun Ximo couldn't help but tap the screen in frustration, stunned. "How could this happen? One of the five male protagonists disappeared, and even bizarrely left the game framework?"

It’s as if the male protagonist can escape from the virtual world directly. It’s ridiculous!
Yun Ximo reached out and lightly touched the handsome man number two on the screen, flicking and kneading his cheeks with her fingertips.

At the same time, on the other side.

The man had just walked out of the bathroom and was sitting leisurely on the sofa when he suddenly felt his cheek being gently touched by an invisible hand. He looked around but found no one there and didn't even notice the slightest breeze.

He could only smile bitterly, blaming it on the fatigue from days of work that had created an illusion in his brain.

However, the illusory touch was extremely real, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in this inexplicable feeling, and felt an inexplicable sense of intoxication.

Yun Ximo: “???” What’s going on?
She noticed that the scenes with the second male lead were intermittent and the character's state was extremely unstable, as if it could be disconnected at any time.

This made her feel very puzzled. After all, she was already on Earth, and the game should run smoothly, and this kind of problem should not occur.

Yun Ximo turned on the computer and entered her account to log in to the game. "Ahhh... why is my number one handsome guy character gone?" There must be a bug in the game.

"How is this possible? How can a game character leave the game world? This is ridiculous!" She became more and more irritated.

Yun Ximo put on the headset, held her chin with one hand, with a hint of laziness in her eyes, like an elegant cat, staring at the screen with her phoenix eyes.

Suddenly, the screen went black and the game began to initialize. Then, a furry little white dog appeared on the screen. At the same time, a mechanized voice rang out in her headset: [Player information detection completed... Traveler from Silver Moon Star...]

Yun Ximo was stunned. She took off her headset. Was she wearing it the wrong way? After a few seconds of hesitation, she put it back on.

The mechanized voice rang out again: [The game system partner is...upgrading. Estimated completion in five minutes.]

Yun Ximo: “???” When did she get a system partner? How come she didn’t know?
After the mechanical voice faded, a childish voice rang out: "I'm the system partner in 'Handsome Guy's Development Diary', your exclusive partner. My name is Luo Luo."

"Is that you, the furry little white dog?" Yun Ximo asked.

"Yes, am I cute? From now on, I will be your system partner." The baby voice in the headset answered.

Yun Ximo nodded: "So... so cute."

[System partner is matching, player binding successful.] The childish voice disappeared, replaced by a robotic voice that continued.

Yun Ximo: “???” I’m fucking bound?

At this moment, the little white dog on the game interface was lying on the ground, sticking out its tongue and grinning foolishly. Next to it appeared the information about the system's partner, Lolo.

Yun Ximo moved the mouse and the arrow pointed at the little white dog. The little white dog rolled over and happily revealed its little belly.

"So cute!" Yun Ximo was almost on the verge of screaming crazily.

"Momo, I'm itchy." The baby voice in the headset said coquettishly.

Yun Ximo was speechless: "..." Can electronic pets also be ticklish?
"The System Partner Newbie Gift Pack is here!" the baby voice in the headset shouted excitedly, "Momo, hurry up, order it! I want the gift pack!"

Yun Ximo: “???” The system itself has a gift package for beginners?

Watching the little white dog rolling happily, a red gift package icon popped up on the game interface.

Yun Ximo clicked with the mouse to receive it.

[Congratulations to the player for receiving the Newbie Gift Pack for their System Partner, unlocking the System Partner Disconnect function.] A mechanical reminder sounded.

Yun Ximo: “???” What’s going on?
"Shouldn't system partners only exist in the game world? How can they be separated from the game?"

Immediately afterwards, the game interface showed that the "Lolo" partner was in a loading state, indicating that it would be withdrawn from the game.

Not long after, a furry little figure crawled out of the screen... oh no, to be more precise, it crawled out of the game world.

Yun Ximo: “???” What?

"This...it's the middle of the night, and they're acting out a Kayako plot?"

However, since Yun Ximo was born in a galaxy with advanced civilization, she was able to remain relatively calm in the face of the extraordinary scene before her.

"This game was clearly developed by Earthlings, and Earth is a relatively young civilization in the Milky Way, with relatively backward technology. How could it possibly have developed something that advanced civilizations have researched?"

Just as Yun Ximo was wandering in thought, a baby voice brought her back to reality.

The little white dog's virtual form floated slowly to Yun Ximo's side and shouted happily, "Momo, here I come!"

Yun Ximo was stunned for two seconds: "It's even cuter in 3D than what I see on the screen!"

She couldn't help but reach out to touch the little white dog, but her hand paused in mid-air, suddenly realizing that this was just its virtual form.
