After Rong Hua came with the news Ling Li was slightly cheered up, but there was still a gloomy depression between his eyebrows. When he was a little free, he would sit still in a daze, it was unknown what he was thinking.

Su Jingyang slept with Ling Li every night, but he would still return to his room in the five-day period. Even though he knew that the system wouldn't let Ling Li discover that he suddenly disappeared into the night, it still made him feel very awkward to come back and continue lying next to Ling Li after the matter was over.

During this period, the system no. 1 finally appeared for a short time, answering some of the doubts Su Jingyang had accumulated.

Su Jingyang's first problem was that the guy in the dream was self-conscious from time to time, otherwise, why would he get angry or awkward. Also, the first few times he always tried to trace and remember his facial features with his hands, although he was prevented in the end.

System no. 1 told him that this was absolutely impossible.

"He doesn't have any sense of autonomy, he's still under complete control and doing things only according to instructions, but his willpower's very strong, so he'll have some instinctive personality reactions and actions. But you can rest assured that even if he does perceive your outline at the time, he wouldn't be able to remember it once he wakes up."

Su Jingyang was very depressed, "That is to say... even if he realizes that this five-day dream is wrong and wants to refuse, he'll only be forced to obey the system's instructions, right?"

"Correct."

Su Jingyang's eyes were stagnant and his chest was tight. "I've been resisting him so far but maybe he's the one sickened of me after waking up. After all, he would've never been involved if it wasn't for me."

System no. 1: "I'm sorry."

"Excuse me?" Su Jingyang flinched, "If you return me to my world before saying sorry, I can forgive you a thousand, no- a million times."

System no. 1 was stupefied for a while and said anxiously: "Our original intention was to help those in need, listen to their wishes, and solve their problems for them, we never thought that we would turn into a harmful weapon against others. What makes me uneasy is that it's not just overcorrection to extremeness, but pure venting. By the way... you'd better be a little calmer when talking to it in the future, otherwise, it'll take the opportunity to absorb your negative energy and become stronger. At that time, things will be more difficult."

"..." I'm going to fucking calm down!

System no. 1 smiled bitterly, "I know you're aggrieved, but just do as I say, otherwise, the energy you collect would never catch up to the speed at which it can absorb grievances, it'll only be more difficult to counteract it."

Su Jingyang gritted his teeth, the suffocation he felt in his heart and was about to explode.

Su Jingyang often gave little beggars unfinished meals from the restaurant and collected some energy every day. Most of the energy still came from Ling Li, especially during the period when the Lin Ji pavilion had just started, Ling Li's gratitude was almost like a constant stream and Su Jingyang almost thought that the progress bar could be half-filled, but the number displayed on the progress bar seemed to be laughing at him.

System no. 1 was silent for a moment and sighed heavily, "I'm severely restrained, to be totally honest I suspect I'll never be able to get free, however..."

Su Jingyang listened to its struggling tone, his chest heaved up and down for a while without answering.

Before system no. 1 disappeared, it softly prompted him. It asked him to do good deeds, not to always stick to trivial things, but focus on a larger spiritual level, such as helping fulfil the biggest wish in one's life, such as helping create a beautiful marriage, or helping untie a knot in one's heart that had fermented for many years, or help reunite relatives who have been separated.
