Absolutely serious Xingtie, I awakened the other world system?

　Woo, so sweet!

　Bai Qiong thought of the Alps lollipop he had eaten in his previous life...

　"Mmm...mmmm...yeah, it's so itchy!"

　Clara let out a small moan, a hint of sensitivity and discomfort in her voice.

　"Ding!"

　[The target character Clara's corruption value increased by 2%]

　[Current corruption value: 2%]

　【Trigger keywords: sensitive points】

　[Host, please keep up the good work. Have you ever considered that Clara sprains her ankle when she wears shoes because her feet are too sensitive? If you keep licking, you will get unexpected rewards...]

　Bai Qiong's heart trembled and he quickly raised his head. He found that Clara's face was even paler, but the wound on her arm seemed to have really changed. The purple-blue skin began to slowly fade, and the blood around the wound began to coagulate.

　"Is this...really useful?"

　Bai Qiong was a little surprised, but then he was surrounded by an indescribable sense of guilt.

　Just then, San Yueqi came back with a basin of water. She saw Bai Qiong squatting at Clara's feet, and there seemed to be some water stains on Clara's feet. She was stunned.

　"Bai Qiong, what are you doing?"

　There was a hint of astonishment and confusion in San Yueqi's voice.

　This was somewhat beyond Bai Qiong's expectations. He obviously didn't expect March 7 to come back so soon.

　Bai Qiong stood up quickly and explained in a panic: "I... I was treating Clara's injuries. I just licked her feet, and her wounds seemed to be healing. This is my new blessing of abundance!"

　"Lick...feet?! Blessing of abundance?!"

　San Yueqi widened his eyes and looked at Bai Qiong in disbelief. "Hey, hey! Although I am usually a bit stupid, can you make up a better excuse? Your explanation is... too weird! Can Fengrao be so frivolous?"

　"I...I don't know either. Maybe you were blessed by Aha. Anyway, if you do this, her wound will really get better."

　Bai Qiong hesitated and said that he couldn't say it was because of the task issued by the system.

　"I do not believe!"

　San Yue Qi shook his head, with a hint of anger in his tone, "You must be talking nonsense, you must be trying to take advantage of Clara!"

　"I don't!"

　Bai Qiong quickly retorted, "I really just want to save Clara, I swear!"

　"Then why did you lick her feet? What kind of treatment is so outrageous?" March 7 asked aggressively.

　"me……"

　Bai Qiong was speechless for a moment, he didn't know how to explain.

Chapter 16: Taking advantage of Swarlow's absence, harming Clara

　Just then, Clara opened her eyes blearily.

　She looked at Bai Qiong and San Yue Qi and said weakly, "Brother Bai Qiong, Sister San Yue Qi, what are you guys arguing about?"

　"No, we didn't have a fight! Clara, you misunderstood!"

　Bai Qiong hurried to explain.

　When San Yueqi heard Clara talking, he quickly put down the basin, walked to Clara and carefully checked her wound.

　She found that the wound on Clara's thigh was indeed better than before. The purple skin had faded a lot and the wound had begun to scab over.

　"This...how is this possible?!"

　March Seven murmured to herself. She looked at Bai Qiong in disbelief, then looked at Clara's wound.

　"See, I didn't lie to you."

　Bai Qiong breathed a sigh of relief. He walked to Clara and squatted down again. "Clara, how do you feel? Does the wound still hurt?"

　Clara shook her head and said weakly, “It doesn’t hurt anymore, it’s just…itchy.”

　"That's because the wound is healing."

　Bai Qiong said this, lowered his head again, and gently licked Clara's instep.

　“Hmm… woo!”

　Clara let out another slight gasp, her voice carrying a hint of sensitivity and discomfort, but she did not stop Bai Qiong's actions.

　"Ding!"

　[The target character Clara's corruption value increased by 2%]

　Looking at Clara's ever-increasing corruption value, Bai Qiong felt a little terrified.

　Why do I feel like I'm taking advantage of the absence of the patriarch, Swarovski, to harm someone else's daughter?

　……

　at the same time……

　The wind and snow howled between the rock walls. Topa stood in front of the towering cliff, looking up at the rock wall covered with ice and snow, a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes.

　Swarovski's mechanical body stood quietly beside her, its red mechanical eyes flashing coldly in the dim light.

　"right here."

　Swarlow's voice was low and calm, as if he was stating a very ordinary fact.

　Topa raised an eyebrow, a smile forming on his lips.

　"Oh... I didn't expect it to be right here."

　She looked around, her eyes sweeping across the solid rocks, and her tone was a little teasing, "But I don't see any mechas or weapons? There are solid rocks all around, could it be that..."

　"Yes."

　Swarlow's mechanical eyes moved slightly, and his voice was full of confidence, "Those weapons are hidden in the towering rock walls."

　Topa's smile grew wider, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

　"No wonder! No wonder we can't find the so-called 'Arsenal' anywhere——"

　Her voice suddenly paused, as if she had thought of something, and her tone was full of surprise, "—Wait, you just said that those weapons have been hidden here all along? In other words... when the city builders of Yalilo-VI fought against the legion, they didn't use these weapons at all?"

　Swarlow's mechanical body vibrated slightly, making a low humming sound.

　"These machines have never left here since they were built. After the company evacuated this planet more than 700 years ago, no one knew how to activate these weapons anymore."

　His voice was filled with the heaviness of history. "Based on the design blueprints left by the company, the City Builders built the first batch of replica mechas. But in the resistance army led by Alisa Rand, the main force is still flesh and blood humans."

　A complex emotion flashed across Topa's eyes, and he murmured in a low voice: "Oh, I see. The legends about this world are becoming more and more fascinating..."

　The wind and snow whistled between the two of them. Topa's eyes fell on Swarovski again, and there was a hint of tentativeness in his tone: "I want to ask you a question, Topa."

　Topa chuckled and waved his hand, "Hmm? Don't act so reserved for such a big robot~ Just ask."

　There was a flash of red light in Swarlow's mechanical eyes, and his voice was low and slow: "'Without the intervention of the company, the world will come to an end' - do you firmly believe in this conclusion?"

　Topa's smile froze slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

　"I believe……"

　She was silent for a moment, and finally whispered, "Before coming here, I read through countless cases and came to a consistent conclusion: No world that has been invaded by the 'Star Core' can escape the fate of extinction in the end."

　Topa's voice was filled with helplessness and heaviness. "Even with the help of the Star Train, even if things seem to be improving on the surface... these are just temporary respite windows."

　She raised her head and looked directly into Swarlow's mechanical eyes. "'Long-term crises usually lurk beneath the surface of prosperity, and ordinary people have no way of noticing it.'"

　Swarovski was silent for a moment, and red light flickered slightly in his mechanical eyes.

　"learn."

　After hearing this, Topa was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "'Understand'? That's it? Aren't you going to express your opinion?"

　Swarlow's voice remained calm. "Emotional readings indicate that your answers are sincere and accurate. That's all I want to confirm."

　He paused and continued, "I hold a different opinion from you regarding the future of this planet. But my opinion is not important. I tried to resist you but was easily defeated. What qualifications do I have to express my opinion?"

　Topa's smile was a little playful, and he shook his head slightly.

　"Heh, interesting guy. I wish all my colleagues were as self-aware as you~"

　She turned around and patted the piggy bank that had been following her - "Zhuangzhuang", and said softly, "Come on, Zhuangzhuang, let's go down and make a careful assessment."

　Topa walked forward, heading deeper into the rock wall. Her fingers lightly traced the cold rock wall, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

　She took out the data chip that was flashing blue light from her arms and murmured softly, "It's time."

　She inserted the chip into a hidden interface on the rock wall. In an instant, the entire rock wall began to vibrate, and ice and snow fell from high above.

　The rock wall slowly cracked open, revealing the huge mechanical structure inside.

　Countless sleeping mechas woke up in the darkness, and their red mechanical eyes lit up one by one, as if a sea of stars were twinkling in the darkness.

　Topa raised a triumphant smile and whispered, "It's time to move the creations attached to the company's underlying code. With you and the company's employees, no one in Beloberg can stop me even without the stone."

　Swarlow's mechanical eyes flashed red, and his voice was low and complicated: "Are you...really determined to do this?"

　Topa didn't look back, but just said softly: "This is the only choice, Swarovski. For the future of this planet, I have to do this. I have already informed the Great Guardian girl of the specific solution through a letter. She may be overwhelmed now."

　"But no matter what choice she makes, it doesn't matter. Unlike that guy Shajin, I don't have the mentality of a gambler. What I want is... no room for error!"

　In the wind and snow, Topa's figure seemed particularly lonely, yet extremely determined.

　Topa's fingers slid quickly across the control panel, and the mechas lined up neatly, waiting for her instructions.

　Swarlow's mechanical body vibrated slightly.

　Finally, he whispered, "I hope your choice... is the right one."

Chapter 17 If you keep licking me, I will...!

　Inside Klippe Castle, a heavy atmosphere enveloped the entire hall.

　The ministers sat around a long table, and fierce arguments broke out one after another, as if to blow the roof off.

　"We must accept the company's conditions! This is the only chance!"

　A minister slammed the table, his voice filled with anxiety.

　"Ridiculous! This is basically a contract of sale! We can't leave Beloberg's future to them!"

　The other minister refused to give in and his tone was filled with anger.

　"enough!"

　Bronya's voice suddenly sounded, like a thunder, instantly overwhelming all the arguments.

　The hall suddenly became quiet and everyone's eyes were on her.

　Bronya stood at one end of the long table, her hands resting on the tabletop, her eyes firm and cold.

　"Stop it all!"

　There was unquestionable authority in her voice. "I know what to do..."

　At this moment, the door of the hall was gently pushed open, and a red-haired woman wearing a black windbreaker and a white long skirt walked in.

　Her steps were slow and graceful, as if out of tune with the tense atmosphere around her.

　"Please wait, I have something to say, respected Great Guardian."

　The woman's voice was gentle but powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

　Bronya looked up with a puzzled look in her eyes.

　"You are……?"

　"Let me introduce myself, my name is Himeko."

　The woman smiled slightly, and her every move and behavior revealed elegance and composure.

　Bronya's eyes lit up instantly, and her tone was filled with undisguised surprise, "Are you Ms. Himeko from the Star Train? Nice to meet you. In that previous... battle, thanks to your assistance, we were able to win.

　"If we had known about your coming in advance, the city builders would have certainly welcomed you with courtesy. But the current situation is special..."
