You said you hated men, why are your eyes now full of love?

The system was stunned.

[Full moon night? Plot point?]

It repeated the words silently, then belatedly widened its eyes.

Oh no! Something's happening!

It hastily tried to free itself from the grasp of the World's Consciousness.

[Let go, I must support the host!]

Seeing its urgent attempt to leave, Fan Lei remained calm.

[If you want the mission progress to suffer delays, then go ahead.]

Her calm words made the system's struggle in her embrace slow down.

[What do you mean?]

Fan Lei didn't answer right away. Instead, she asked a seemingly unrelated question. [Xiao Qi, have you ever heard of demihumans?]

[Are you talking about those half-human, half-demon creatures who look human but have animal features?]

[Mhm~]

Still playing coy, she smiled. The system couldn't take it any longer.

[Mhm, my foot! What does that have to do with what we were talking about?! Don't tell me you're implying that Ruan Qingqing is a demi…]

No. Wait a minute!

Noticing Fan Lei's lack of denial, the system's face stiffened. It suddenly realized that the absurd joke it had just made was no joke at all.

Its electronic brain began to operate at high speed. Details that had once been overlooked came rushing back.

Why did the female protagonist have such a special constitution that allowed her to heal quickly without leaving scars, no matter how severe her injuries? Why, in the original story, did she always seem perfectly fine the day after any passionate encounter, no matter how intense?

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

Why did she have that strange, alluring scent that made the male protagonists go wild with desire just by smelling it?

All of these details made sense when considering her identity as a demihuman.

After a long silence, it asked in a low voice, [So, tonight is the night that Ruan Qingqing will undergo her transformation, right?]

Fan Lei didn't hide anything and answered cheerfully, [Yes, that's right~]

The system took a deep breath. A cold expression appeared on its youthful face.

[Tell me the reason why you waited until now to say this.]

Moreover, when watching the scenes of the female protagonist's revenge in her previous life, why didn't she use any techniques related to being a demihuman?

There were too many suspicious points; it made no sense!

Perhaps the questions it was pondering were too obvious, as Fan Lei couldn't help but laugh.

[Don't think about it, Xiao Qi. The revenge scenes you saw were all altered by me, so of course you wouldn't notice anything unusual.]

[You—!]

[Don't be angry. I had no choice but to do it.]

Fan Lei patted the system's head and gently explained.

[If you had known Ruan Qingqing's true identity too early, your attitude towards her would have been completely different. It's hard to say if it would have affected the mission.]

[After all the missions you've done across different worlds, you should understand the butterfly effect even better than I do.]

Upon hearing this, the system's expression became hesitant.

Before it could say anything, Fan Lei confidently continued. [Your mission progress has been stuck for a while, hasn't it?]

The system's mouth hung half open in astonishment.

[This...]

Seeing that this approach was effective, Fan Li further intensified her... clarification.

[Because Ruan Qingqing has not yet shown her true self to your host. And now this is the crucial moment for their friendship to advance to the final step.]

Only if Ji Mu can fully accept the transformed version of her can the emotional bottleneck be broken and their bond deepened.

Understanding the implications of the World's Consciousness, the system's face lit up with realization, as if a fog had lifted, clearing its previously blocked thoughts.

So that was it.

No wonder the favorable hadn't increased. The emotional problem was there.

He looked at Fan Lei with bright eyes.

[You mean... tonight's transformation is the most important opportunity for the host and the fool to level up their friendship!]

[That's right~]

Fan Lei's lips curled into a smile of approval.

[A person's first reaction is the most sincere. Whether the story progresses smoothly now depends entirely on your host. This is a trial only he can face. Xiao Qi, you cannot interfere. You're not allowed to.]

[I understand!]

The system patted its chest after finally understanding all the subtleties.

It's just like the tropes in cultivation novels; once you get over the hardship, the road ahead will be smooth and prosperous.

It thought of the young man who remained calm and composed no matter what, and clenched its small fist tightly.

Go ahead, host!

I believe in your strength; you can definitely handle the transformed version of the silly goose.

The ultimate friendship is within your grasp, just waiting for you to seize it.

The good days are still ahead of us!

...

Resting her chin lightly on the system's shoulders, Fan Lei silently laughed to herself.

So easy to fool, Xiao Qi~

Maybe only these silly little systems still believe in things like friendship.

Well… that was partly thanks to her behind-the-scenes guidance.

Still, she hadn't expected both host and system to get so swept up in it. It was so smooth, so fun, and so amusing.

Rubbing the system's chubby baby cheeks, Fan Lei half-closed her eyes in satisfaction.

Xiao Qi, actually... I tweaked your memory of how to use the Prajna Instrument, too.

After all, this was her home.

How could she miss an opportunity to interfere?

Besides, the Spacetime Management Bureau had sent reminder messages that she had mercifully not intercepted.

Xiao Qi foolishly chose not to believe them all on its own. That wasn't her fault.

From an angle the system couldn't detect, a sly, mischievous smile appeared on Fan Lei's face, shrouded in white mist.

Her gaze shifted, easily piercing through numerous obstacles to land on the Prajna Instrument within the system space.

Seeing that the girl's fondness for a certain person had reached an almost absurd level, the smile in her eyes became even more pronounced.

She had gone through no small effort to fully awaken the memories buried in Ruan Qingqing's soul. The highest level of hidden corruption, a maxed-out affection score in this life, and a full moon night where transformation only occurred if she skipped her blood pack.

Each of those conditions had to align perfectly.

Only then would this magnificent symphony finally begin its prelude.

His gaze fell on the young man next to the wonton stall.

Fan Lei clicked her tongue.

Ji Mu, oh Ji Mu.

I've been watching you since the last cycle.

In this broken and muddy world, you, with your unopened heart, are the only green leaf growing in a barren land.

You… are also qualified to carry the weight of her soul.

So please, don't disappoint me~

Only by pulling the girl out of her past and present suffering can it be called true salvation.

…

Meanwhile, the subsystem busily records the mission's action report.

With graduation approaching, it had to take its internship seriously to secure a future job.

[That damn main system… once I move up and become a leader, I'll definitely make its life miserable!]

It muttered resentfully as the room suddenly experienced a massive tremor.

The rumbling grew stronger and stronger.

After about ten minutes of continuous shaking, it gradually calmed down.

Shaking its dizzy electronic head, the subsystem that had been paying attention to the unusual movements looked in the direction of the source.

[It seems... it came from the Prajna Instrument?]

Curious, it went over and immediately noticed the change on the screen.

[Huh? The hidden darkness value has disappeared?]

Is there really such good news?

The joy and excitement didn't last long. As its gaze moved up a notch, the smile on its face instantly froze.

Its expression gradually changed to one of horror.

Good news: The hidden darkness value had disappeared.

Bad news: The white text showing negative favorability was slowly turning black.
