After being repeatedly questioned, the customer service finally confessed.
The system did have a function that could track other time - travelers in the same dimension. However, due to immature technology, it was not fully available yet. Only a small number of people who had mastered the system could use this function.
As for Yun Que'er and Ji Chengxuan, they clearly hadn't reached that level.
But it wasn't a dead end. They could accumulate favorability points by completing tasks. Once they reached a certain threshold, they could unlock the tracking function.
When Yun Que'er first heard about this, she was extremely resistant.
The last time she was so angry that she wanted to return to the modern era, she had been forced to sign a "predatory clause" and completed a lot of inhumane tasks. If she agreed this time, she didn't know what kind of torture awaited her.
"Ah, forget it. I knew your heart - less developers were up to no good," Yun Que'er said impatiently.
One couldn't stumble twice over the same stone. There was no way she would agree.
【Dear host, why have you become so timid? Just now, seeing you looking so fearless, I thought you were going to fight against the evil forces!】
When did this annoying system become so talkative?
Yun Que'er was so angry that she really wanted to destroy the system along with herself.
Looking back, she saw Ji Chengxuan laughing away.
Yun Que'er was so angry that her hair seemed to stand on end. She channeled her anger into strength and punched Ji Chengxuan hard.
"Is it funny?"
Ji Chengxuan covered his stomach. It was hard to tell if he was in pain from the punch or still laughing.
After a while of giggling, Ji Chengxuan finally stopped laughing under Yun Que'er's angry glare.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."
Ji Chengxuan turned serious and looked at the light - blue screen in front of Yun Que'er.
"Then tell us first what tasks we need to do."
The page on the screen changed, and a video started playing automatically.
It turned out that this time, instead of doing all those strange good - deed projects like before, they needed to collect valuable items.
For example, a fragment of a rare wood species could be exchanged for 100 points, and then, at a ratio of 1:10, converted into 1000 favorability points.
The rules were not very strict. The accumulated favorability points could be used for lucky draws or saved for unlocking new functions or upgrading the system, just like depositing money in a bank. It was quite convenient.
Yun Que'er and Ji Chengxuan discussed it and thought it was feasible, so they asked,
"How many favorability points do we need to unlock this function?"
【My dear host, please don't be impatient. Man proposes, God disposes.】
This damned system...
Yun Que'er finally couldn't bear it anymore and clenched her fists. Ji Chengxuan heard a creaking sound and quickly comforted her,
"Calm down. Don't lose your temper."
Yun Que'er glared hatefully at the fluctuating sound waves on the screen.
"Speak human language."
The system seemed to sense that the host's anger was soaring and quickly became serious, returning to its original cold, emotionless voice.
【Please check the task progress bar.】
Yun Que'er took a closer look. There were countless zeros after the number 1.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten - thousands...
It actually required 100 million points! Even robbing a bank couldn't get that much!
Yun Que'er looked at Ji Chengxuan, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
This heartless developer and this damned world...
"It seems we'll need a long time to achieve this goal," Ji Chengxuan said.
Yun Que'er slumped to the ground helplessly. "All this talk is like it's for nothing!"
Both of them sighed.
Ji Chengxuan thought for a while and suddenly changed his mind.
"Or we can give it a try. After all, this way we can also accumulate favorability points for future use. Moreover, what if we're just lucky enough to come across something valuable? Then things will just fall into place."
Yun Que'er thought it over and found it a feasible solution.
"Alright. We've got nothing better to do anyway."
The system timely urged, 【Have the two hosts made up your minds?】
Yun Que'er was startled by the sudden voice of the system. "Damn it! Can you stop scaring me like this? And how can you hear what he's saying? Even if the system shares a core now, we should still have some privacy. This is just chaos!"
The system suddenly let out two malicious laughs.
【He's a person of destiny.】
Yun Que'er was even more confused. This was the second time she had heard this term tonight. What did it mean?
Ji Chengxuan's expression became even more strange, and he quickly interrupted,
"Well, we've decided. We want to start this task."
【Okay. The new task has been activated. Please check.】
A new section appeared on the screen, which was the progress bar for the new task.
Yun Que'er hadn't even recovered from her previous confusion when Ji Chengxuan tugged at her arm.
"Since we've made our choice, let's go and give it a try. Let's just find something at random and see if it's really as amazing as it claims."
"Okay," Yun Que'er replied. Distracted by Ji Chengxuan, she quickly forgot about her previous confusion.
Who would have thought that as soon as they stepped out of the alley, they ran straight into Yun Jianzhou.
All three of them stared at each other with wide eyes. At that moment, they all had the same thought in mind - they were scared out of their wits.
After a long while, Yun Jianzhou stammered,
"What were you two whispering about just now? It's really creepy..."
Oh no!
They had been discovered...
If they could still keep it a secret before, now it was like solid evidence!
Seeing Yun Que'er and Ji Chengxuan looking at each other, Yun Jianzhou felt even more creeped out.
His voice trembled as he said, "You... you don't have a ghost following you, do you?"
The more Yun Jianzhou thought about it, the more panicked he became.
Just now, he had seen the two kids chatting animatedly with thin air as if there was a real person standing in front of them.
It was said that kids were more likely to attract some unholy things. Yun Jianzhou was increasingly convinced of his speculation.
"Say something!" Yun Jianzhou got anxious.
Why did these two kids seem like they had lost their minds?
No! They couldn't let their souls be taken away!
"Big brother! Uncle Ji!"
Yun Jianzhou turned around and rushed towards his yard in a hurry. "Come and take a look! These two kids seem to have gone crazy!"
Yun Que'er: ...
Ji Chengxuan: ...
Originally, they could have found a way to fool Yun Jianzhou, but who would have thought that Yun Jianzhou could come up with such wild ideas!
Yun Que'er got anxious and immediately winked at Ji Chengxuan: Quick! Think of a way to knock him out!
If he shouted it out and everyone found out, it would be even harder to explain!
