Chapter 25: Binding With the System

No! Su Jiyai had a bad feeling in her heart.

Su Jiyai only had one thought.

Run.

And so she did.

Su Jiyai hurriedly ran towards her left.

Alas! Her luck was truly bad because the next second, a few more beasts rushed from the left side.

She complained in her heart,

"If you want to kill me, then just kill me! Why are you going me the hope of survival and then dashing it?"

Unfortunately, she couldn't continue to complain further because the beast had already reached her.

From the looks of it, they were either the family members of the beast she had killed or the clan members.

Were they here to take revenge?

How unfair is this?

Your son was the first per...beast to attack me! I just defended myself!

Su Jiyai had such thoughts and she turned in another direction.

The beast followed behind her and soon caught up with her.

One of the beasts used its massive hand to swipe at Su Jiyai. She only felt a strong force hit her back, sending her flying several meters through the air.

She landed hard, skidding across the dry, cracked ground. Her vision blurred, pain radiating through her body.

With the previous injuries and new injuries added, Su Jiyai could hardly breathe.

Exhausted, injured, hungry and weak.

Everything was going worse for her!

Su Jiyai gritted her teeth. No! That system said that as long as she survived for 2 hours, she would be able to return.

Once she returned, she could meet Qin Feng!

The beasts were closing in, their eyes filled with a savage hunger. Su Jiyai knew she couldn't outrun them in her current state. She had to fight.

Su Jiyai tried to stand up, but maybe her body was truly at its limit because even after giving herself constant reminders to stand up, Su Jiyai couldn't.

Thump.

One of the beasts that had reached Su Jiyai lifted its leg, to crush Su Jiyai.

Su Jiyai's eyes widened in horror.

A few beautiful moments flashed past Su Jiyai's eyes and her eyes turned a bit blurry.

Those beautiful memories she had spent with Han Weilin and Qin Feng flashed before her eyes.

They would be sad if she didn't return, right?

Su Jiyai gritted her teeth and hurriedly rolled to her side.

She narrowly avoided the crushing blow, feeling the ground shake violently from the impact. 

The beasts roared in frustration, their eyes locking onto her with renewed intensity.

Su Jiyai wished that a portal could appear if the time was over.

Without Su Jiyai's realizing, her eyes colored changed into the color of a galaxy and the beast retreated in fear.

The next second a sound came -

Whoosh.

Suddenly a galaxy-colored portal appeared just a few distance away.

Su Jiyai's eyes brightened!

Before the beast could charge at her again, Su Jiya simply rolled in the direction of the portal.

Since it wasn't far, Su Jiyai was smoothly able to enter the portal.

The moment she entered the portal, Su Jiyai's eyes turned blurry. The last scene she saw was a beast trying to enter the portal.

They won't enter the portal, right?

Su Jiyai thought so and closed her eyes.

The portal threw Su Jiyai out at the exact location where she had activated the gem. The surroundings looked eerily familiar, but the level 4 zombies were no longer there. 

Su Jiyai was in an unconscious state when she heard, the system's voice.

"65% loaded"

"80% loaded." 

So fast?

Why was the loading so fast?

What Su Jiyai didn't know was...the system was loading at its own pace. She was the one who was becoming conscious and unconscious time and time again.

"99% loaded."

"100% loaded!"

[Congratulations Host for activating the Multiplier System. Would you like to bind with the system?]

[Host would you like to bind with the system?]

[Host would you like to bind with the system?]

[Host would you like to bind with the system?]

Su Jiyai who was half-conscious, gritted her teeth and said,

"Yes."

[Congratulations on binding with the system.]

[Congratulations to the host for acquiring a newbie package. You will get a double-room house x 1, White Rice x 5 kg, a Powered Milk bottle x 10, Dried fruit packet x 10, Spices packet x 10, Jerky beef packets x 10...]

The system listed a few more items, but Su Jiyai wasn't able to listen to its words.

[Host's condition is in danger! Emergency measures have been implemented. Host, please extend your hand!]

[Warning! Host, you are about to die! Please extend your hand!]

Su Jiyai didn't feel she could move. Slowly she felt as if she was losing control of her body.

[Host your life is in danger, please extend your hand and register your biometrics!]

The system constantly bugged Su Jiyai. 

[Host please think about your family and friends! They would be extremely sad if you die]

Su Jiyai begged her body to respond and tried her best to take control.

Finally, with difficulty, Su Jiyai lifted her hand and placed it on the activating gem.

As soon as her fingers made contact, the gem emitted a bright light, scanning her biometrics. The mechanical voice buzzed again.

[Host biometrics registered. Initiating emergency healing protocol.]

Su Jiyai didn't know what happened after that.

She only knew one thing. She slept for a long time.

The sleep was so relaxing that Su Jiyai didn't want to wake up at all.

After a long while, when Su Jiyai opened her eyes, she realized that she was in a room.

What made her surprised was the bed under her.

She touched the bed in surprise and muttered,

"My god! How could such a soft thing could exist?"

However, her thoughts were soon diverted.

"Huh? I am alive?"

The moment she thought about it, Su Jiyai was filled with delight.

The delight soon faded. Su Jiyai was worried about Qin Feng and Han Weilin.

Did they try to find her?

Were they sad?

Do they think that she is dead?

Many thoughts appeared in her mind.

[Host you are awake?]

Su Jiyai was stunned by the sudden voice and placed her hand on her heart.

[Host don't be scared. It's me, your system]

"My system? What are you and what do you mean by my system?"

[Host a system is a tool that is designed to assist their host. The system will give some tasks and if you fulfill them you will get the reward. At the same time, if you fail to fulfill them, you will be punished. Also, you will earn points after completing the mission. You can exchange those points for some item, from the system mall.]

Su Jiyai was stunned and asked,

"Wait! This...how did I acquire you?"

[I can't answer.]

Su Jiyai frowned,

"That...why would you help me?"

[I am not helping you host. You finish the task assigned by the system and you will get the reward. It is a win-win]

Su Jiyai nodded and finally asked,

"Oh, right! How long have I been sleeping?"

Su Jiyai was truly satisfied by the sleep she had and was wondering for many days she had fallen asleep.

[A year host.]

"What?" Su Jiyai felt as if her ears were ringing. "What did you say? A year? You are kidding right?"

How could she fall asleep for a year?

"Yes, host."

"You..." However before Su Jiyai could say anything, she felt hungry.

The hunger was so intense that Su Jiyai forgot her question and asked,

"Is there something to eat?"

[Yes, Host! You can open your newbie package, there is food in it.]

"Really?" Su Jiyai was suspicious. How could someone be so nice?

Su Jiyai tried to analyse the situation but hunger overpowered her logical thinking.

"Okay. So please give me the food."

[Host I have a suggestion.]

"Say."

[If you give 20 points, I can deliver a cooked meal to you.]

"Ah? What points? I don't have any points." Su Jiyai said with sadness. 

Just the mere thought of a cooked meal, made Su Jiyai feel overwhelmed.

How tasty is a cooked meal? How could Su Jiyai not know? 

[Host don't worry, you have been gifted with a newbie package. Through the newbie package, you have acquired 100,000 points.]

100,000 points?

Su Jiyai was delighted and commented,

"Your newbie package is truly generous."

[Thank you, Host. So do you want a cooked meal?]

"Yes!"

[20 points deducted. Remaining points: 99980. Your cooked meal will be delivered in 10 minutes.]

Su Jiyai nodded.

She wasn't expecting much.

As long as she can have a decent meal, it would be enough.

After 10 minutes, a mechanical voice sounded.

[Host, the meal is prepared and has been served on the dining table.]

Su Jiyai subconsciously walked up to the door, opened it, and exited the room.
