145: Chapter 145 Alice's Doll Tea Party (Transitional Chapter 3)

The slacker system clearly had no intention of letting her revive, yet now it was actually blaming her?!

The slacker system sounded very innocent: "Host, please do not project your own delusions into reality. The system has never manipulated anything behind the scenes. Every game you have won was achieved by your own efforts, and it has nothing to do with the system."

Luo Yuejian sneered, "You think I'm an idiot, right?"

After so many games, if she still hadn't realized that her heaven-defying luck was being manipulated by the system behind the scenes, she might as well just smash her head against a block of tofu and die.

Otherwise, based on her skill level, how could she have possibly survived until now?

Seeing that Luo Yuejian clearly didn't believe it, the slacker system sighed, seemingly feeling dejected that its host didn't trust it.

The next second: "Alright, Host, I believe you are ready to accept the punishment for failing the previous game's mission."

Luo Yuejian: ... 666, you're not even going to pretend anymore, are you?

A cold, mechanical voice sounded in Luo Yuejian's mind: "Congratulations to the Host for obtaining — Tang Dao Mastery."

The Tang Dao does not refer to a single weapon, but rather includes four types of military blades: the Yi Dao, Zhang Dao, Heng Dao, and Mo Dao. Among them, the Heng Dao, due to its narrow straight blade, small guard, and long handle (which can be held with both hands), has become the representative of what is modernly called the "Tang Dao." The Tang Dao achieved extremely high standards in both technology and art, representing the pinnacle of cold weapon history.

Upon hearing the skill for this system punishment, Luo Yuejian was stunned at first, then couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

Because this skill's professional capabilities were too strong.

As everyone knows, the more specific and detailed a skill's range is, the lower its practical usability will be.

For example, with this Tang Dao Mastery skill, at least up until now, Luo Yuejian had never seen a Tang Dao in any game instance.

In other words, even if Luo Yuejian had this skill, it would have almost no impact on her future missions.

Holy crap, is the system actually being this conscientious this time?

The slacker system sighed: "Although you, Host, always doubt this system, I am indeed wholeheartedly striving for your revival. Every time the Host fails a mission, it pains this system's heart!"

"Every time the Host fails a mission, due to the system's underlying programming, I am forced to give the Host a punishment skill. However, I always provide the skill that has the least impact on the game instance within my own capabilities!"

Its tone carried a hint of dejection: "I don't know why the Host always doubts me, but I don't mind. After all, I am just a system serving the Host wholeheartedly!"

This righteous speech from the slacker system completely stunned Luo Yuejian.

She even began to genuinely wonder if she had been wrong about the slacker system all along, since this punishment skill was indeed very useless.

And in fact, recalling the punishment skills the slacker system gave her after every previous game, except for Agility Instinct from the very first game, those skills really did seem useless...

For example, Pain Immunity and Underwater Breathing barely had any impact on her game missions, and Pain Immunity had even helped her once.

As for Guidance and ten-minute minor strength boost, for the former, Luo Yuejian still hadn't figured out what use that skill had even now.

As for the latter, through the last game, Luo Yuejian had managed to test it out and realized that it could be exhausted through artificial means.

After all, this skill only lasted ten minutes. Luo Yuejian just needed to do some physical labor to burn through those ten minutes, and the skill would be of no use.

Thinking of this, Luo Yuejian couldn't help but hiss, could it be that she really had wronged the slacker system?

No, no, what about her heaven-defying luck?

The slacker system said slowly: "Host, have you forgotten? We discussed this issue before. Your luck in the game being so good is very likely because Miracle Company is messing with things behind the scenes."

Indeed, Luo Yuejian had been fooled by the slacker system before, thinking that her bizarre luck in the game was due to Miracle Escape Live Stream Game meddling.

But later, when she thought about it carefully, Miracle Escape Live Stream Game had no reason to do that, right? What did it matter to Miracle Company whether she lived or died? With so many players, why pick on her specifically?

So in the end, Luo Yuejian still cast her suspicious gaze back onto the slacker system.

The slacker system sounded somewhat helpless, "But this really wasn't the system's doing." Its tone was very sincere: "How could the system have such great ability to manipulate game instances created by Miracle Company?"

Hearing this, Luo Yuejian fell into deep thought. What the slacker system said seemed to make some sense, but this guy's ability to swindle people was also top-notch, so Luo Yuejian didn't dare to fully believe the system's words.

A moment later, she waved her hand, forget it, why think about those things? Would she be able to revive just by figuring out an answer?

Regardless of whether the person messing with her behind the scenes was the system or some other thing, her current goal was still to prioritize completing the slacker system's missions.

There was no need to dwell on it so much. Luo Yuejian wasn't a very clever person; thinking too much wasted brain cells. Luo Yuejian simply decided to put this issue to the back of her mind, and then walked towards the door standing in the starry sky.

The slacker system was somewhat surprised to see Luo Yuejian's actions, "Host, didn't you say you would rather die than leave the Star Sea Space? What made you change your mind?"

Luo Yuejian coughed awkwardly. After the previous game ended, she had gone to the Game City to test her skill — 10-Minute Minor Strength Boost.

That time, Luo Yuejian had been on tenterhooks the entire process, terrified that other players would see her eccentric behavior. That would have been too socially mortifying.

So after returning to the Star Sea Space, Luo Yuejian immediately decided never to set foot in the Game City again. Honestly, for her, it didn't seem to make any difference whether she went to the Game City or not.

Who would have thought that just after she said she would never go to the Game City again in the last game, she would slap her own face in the next game.

The reason she decided to go out this time was very simple.

Because just a moment ago, she saw that behind the new message in her black bracelet notifying her that her livestream room had been upgraded, there was another message that had been sent a long time ago.

She just didn't know why there hadn't been a system notification for this message at the time.

Luo Yuejian originally thought this was just a normal message, so she clicked on it casually. But after seeing the content of the message clearly, Luo Yuejian's eyes widened involuntarily.
