Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand, which had been resting on her cheek, moved slightly to the side and downwards.

Then the force increased, as if it were wiping something dirty.

Elvis was puzzled, but he still didn't make any move, just quietly watching Jian Chi.

At this moment, Jian Chi finally spoke again.

"I don't like the marks of other insects on your mouth."

"...Is it not finished yet?"

Was that all an act just now?

Elvis was bewildered.

Then, Jian Chi's face loomed closer and magnified in his eyes. The icy touch made his pupils shrink, and he froze.

Although the encounter was brief, it was enough to capture his entire heart and soul.

Elvis felt his mind go completely blank.

Even Jian Chi's later words, "Want to go back to the army? Dream on!", couldn't bring him back to his senses.

"Elvis, you can only belong to me. From now on, no insect is allowed to touch you, understand?"

Elvis stared blankly at Jian Chi.

He opened his mouth, as if to ask if the role of Xiong was finished.

But he didn't want to ask, nor did he dare to ask.

"I remember, my lord," he whispered, his voice low, almost a murmur. "I will always belong to you."

Jian Chi nodded in satisfaction.

"Go back and rest, Elvis."

Elvis closed his eyes.

For some reason, he didn't want to leave; he even wished time could stand still at this moment.

But he still obediently got up and left.

As he reached the door, he stopped and whispered a reminder to Jian Chi:

"My lord, remember to eat the honey cake."

"I see."

After watching Elvis leave and close the door, Jian Chi turned on the light in the room.

He picked up the honey cake that was on the ground, took one, and started eating.

【Host……】

While eating cake, Jianchi returned to the system.

I know what you're trying to say, but I'll only ask you three questions.

What's the problem?

First, did I actually say that sentence?

【……have.】

Second, was he on the verge of death?

After a moment's hesitation, the system replied: 【Does acting count too?】

Regardless of whether it's acting or not, just tell me if it happened.

【……have.】

Third, will what I'm doing affect the main storyline?

【……No.】

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Jian Chi's eyes. He placed the tray on the table next to him and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash up.

That settles it then. You made me create these hundred scenarios to prevent the main storyline from collapsing.

The main storyline remains unaffected, and I've completed the scenario—isn't that a happy ending?

The system hesitated for a moment.

Right?

Don't doubt it, you're the system. Just check if I've completed the scenario and you'll know.

It's done...

Jian Chi lay down on the bed, turned off the light, and closed his eyes.

[That's all done. Okay, I'm tired too. Time to sleep. Goodnight, baby.]

The system was completely bewildered by the deception.

He really didn't expect that Jian Chi could complete it like this, and yet it was actually considered a success!

It wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin, so it ended the conversation in silence.

In the darkness, Jian Chi's lips curled into a smile.

He began to test us from the very first day he came into this world.

He wasn't completely sure until just now.

The one hundred scenarios that must be completed were not issued by the system.

The system acts more as a supervisor, monitoring whether the scenario has actually been completed.

He had never been bound to a system, but he had occasionally read a few novels of this kind before.

The system inside changes its missions according to the plot development; as a technological product of a higher-dimensional world, it is extremely intelligent.

Unlike the system he's bound to, it's not so unintelligent.

No, it has intelligence.

But its intelligence is not reflected in its functionality, but rather in its anthropomorphic aspects?

Moreover, this system seems to be overly attached to the original plot and main storyline; it panics at the slightest deviation.

Most importantly, when the system was bound to him, it did not specify what kind of system it was or its model.

It only said it was a system.

Very strange.

But what if the system isn't a system?

Realizing this, Jian Chi developed an unprecedented interest.

If it's not a system, then what is it? Where does it come from? What is its purpose?

Of course, these are just his guesses.

The only certainty is that this system is only responsible for supervision and has limited authority.

He eagerly awaited the moment when the true nature of the system would be revealed.

I had a good night's sleep.

Jian Chi woke up early the next day, hungry, since he hadn't eaten dinner the night before, only a few small cakes.

Originally a male insect, he was pampered and would get hungry if he missed a meal.

Upon opening his eyes, he first greeted the system in his mind with a "good morning."

Good morning, baby.

【…】

What's wrong?

[It's nothing, good morning, host.]

After washing up, Jian Chi went downstairs.

Little La continued cleaning happily, shouting, "Trash should stay in the trash can!"

Elvis had just finished making breakfast.

Seeing him come down so early surprised her, then her cheeks flushed slightly and she pursed her lips, as if she had thought of something.

Good morning, Your Majesty.

Jian Chi smiled, as if he had completely forgotten about what happened last night.

Good morning, Elvis.

Elvis was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't show it.

This morning, he made all of Jian Chi's favorite foods for breakfast.

I also tried making two new dishes.

"My lord, please try the new dish I've learned to cook."

Jian Chi took two bites and found that both dishes had a sweet and sour flavor.

He had previously told Elvis that scrambled eggs with tomatoes had a sweet and sour taste, so when Elvis learned new dishes, he tended to prefer sweet and sour flavors.

"Not bad," Jian Chi praised.

A slight smile played on Elvis's lips: "If the Lord is pleased."

At this moment, the smart bracelet showed that someone had sent a message to Jian Chi.

Jian Chi opened it and glanced at it; there were two unread messages.

The first message came from the owner of the custom clothing store I bought online, saying that the clothes were all ready and I would receive them in an hour.

The second message came from Reed, reminding him not to forget to bring Elvis to tomorrow's banquet.

After replying to each of them, Jian Chi said to Elvis:

"By the way, I'm going to Reed's party tomorrow, why don't you come with me?"

Iveston paused for a moment, then responded.

"it is good."

After Jian Chi went upstairs, Elvis looked away and turned on his smart bracelet.

His female father sent him a message: Have you thought it through yet? If you wait any longer, you won't be able to prepare in advance. Reply quickly.

His adjutant and other soldiers from the army also sent messages asking if he needed any help.

Time flies by.

During this time, neither Jian Chi nor Elvis mentioned what happened that night again.

Those words, and that gentle touch that seemed to have never happened, were as if they had never occurred.

Soon the day arrived for Reed's banquet.
