Chapter 377 The System Arrives
Ultimately, the little girl was bought by a man wearing a pig-head mask for 55.
The pig-headed man, panting excitedly, strode onto the stage, intending to pounce on the girl. The girl, terrified, stumbled backward and fell onto the stage. Just as the pig-headed man's filthy hand was about to touch her, the two women in suits who had been there earlier suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
The pig-headed man roared in fury, "What are you doing? I've already bought this toy!"
“Yes, Mr. Pig, but you haven’t paid yet, so he is still the property of our auction house,” Juxiang explained calmly.
"Can't I inspect the goods first?"
"No, the inspection must be done by our Baixiangyuan staff. You can look at it, but until you pay, it's our product, and you can't touch it with your dirty...your hands."
"Damn it!" The pig-headed man wanted to pay directly like Di Xing, but he was afraid the toy might be defective. After much deliberation, he could only walk off the stage dejectedly.
The little girl was so terrified by the pig-headed man's insane actions that she collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face. The thought of spending her entire life as a plaything of such a person caused her to faint instantly.
"Take her away. We can't let the auction items be damaged," Juxiang coldly ordered her subordinates, her words devoid of any emotion.
"The next item is also a heavyweight: Charlotte Ravensoff, the eldest daughter of the Ravensoff family!"
These words immediately caused another stir in the room.
"Ravenshoff? Is that the Ravenshoff family, the noble family that dealt in furs? I heard they just went bankrupt last month."
"I never imagined that just last month we went bankrupt, and this month our young lady has been sold to Baixiang Pavilion!"
"Hahaha, this is great! I've never tasted a noblewoman before!"
Amidst the commotion inside, a stunningly beautiful girl dressed in a gorgeous princess gown, with a full bosom and long, golden hair almost reaching her ankles, was pulled out. Her azure eyes were filled with tears.
"Sixteen years old, blonde hair, blue eyes, pure-blooded noblewoman, exuding the fragrance of roses, a virgin," Juxiang's introduction made the beasts below the stage's blood boil.
"Distinguished customers, this is a genuine noble lady, an extremely rare and precious item. The starting bid is 100 million yuan! Bidding rules: 258, with no upper limit!"
A bunch of bastards in the audience started frantically raising signs around the booth, like a swarm of flies discovering fresh food and buzzing around.
These people were driven by a twisted desire to manipulate the nobility at will; even though the price had exceeded 500 million, they continued to frantically raise their paddles.
Ultimately, the girl sold for an astonishing 2200 million!
The elephant man who took the picture of the girl excitedly ripped off the trunk of his mask.
"2200 million for a nobleman's plaything, it's worth it!"
The elephant-man let out a lewd laugh, excitedly approaching the stage to examine his prize up close. "I hope you can last a while, and not get ruined so quickly."
"Mr. Elephant, I think you should change your perverted ways of playing a little," Juxiang chuckled, covering her mouth.
"My motto is, if you're going to seek thrills, you have to see it through to the end," the elephant-man lewdly grinned. His nose, hidden beneath the gap in his mask, was covered in festering mold, making him look like he had contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
Upon seeing this, Xia Lu's tears welled up uncontrollably, but her noble composure prevented her from collapsing.
So, dragged by the staff, she staggered backstage.
"That girl was amazing. It's a shame the system wasn't working properly, otherwise I would have definitely done my duty and killed everyone here, then taken that girl for myself... to save her from this misery."
"Trashy host, could you please stop thinking with your lower body?"
The man wearing the tortoise shell mask was talking to the system in his head.
"Damn it, you still call me trash? Other people's systems can make their hosts instantly kill everything, from chickens to dogs to their entire families, after completing a simple task. And you? You can't even come up with a decent reward!"
"Last time you tricked me into fighting pigs in the pigpen all day, and then rewarded me with a [Cursed Dragon] card. Turns out it was a fake! I was so angry that someone actually sent a Cursed Dragon to attack and almost burned me to death. You're useless, you're useless!"
"It's all because you moved around recklessly during the transmigration, causing us to transmigrate to the wrong world. This world is incredibly strange; even the most basic cards harbor life within them. Cards I produce are classified as fake cards in this world."
"Then why don't you have those powerful cards in your system shop?"
The system sighed.
"Host, in essence, you and I are both viruses. Other worlds are like computers, and entering them is like implanting a virus."
"Once I hack into this computer, I can steal some of its resources and use them to provide you with the power or treasures of this world. Then I'll give you missions to interfere with and disrupt the operation of this world's programs. After that, I can steal even more resources, reward you, and then give you new missions. This cycle continues until we completely destroy this world."
"I don't understand, please switch to human assistance."
"Please, I'm a system, not some human. Hey, host Tang Si, it's my fault, I forgot you only finished third grade. Anyway, our methods won't work in this world."
Why?
"This world—Endera—is very strange. Even the most basic cards contain life, and even the stones called 'Elf Jade' contain life energy. Simply put, they are all programs on the same level as me, and I cannot interfere with them."
"And this Enderella is filled with a massive amount of these programs. In terms that you, the host, can understand, Enderella is like a hard drive, but it's not powered on. All the programs running inside need to consume their own energy to operate. It's impossible to hack into its world because it's not running."
"I understand now. Basically, it means you're a piece of trash, right?"
"Host, I am one of the highest-level systems. If I hadn't come to the wrong world, with my help, you could traverse any world at lightning speed—enough to write a novel that wouldn't even last ten chapters."
"Ha, isn't that standard for system novels? Which system can't conquer a world within ten chapters? The rest are just filler chapters!"
"Oh, well, host, you're likely to get beaten up if you talk like that. Anyway, in this world, you'll have to play cards to get stronger."
"Then give me the card!"
"Go play cards and complete the task, then I'll give you the card!"
"How am I supposed to play cards if you don't give me the cards?"
"Useless host!"
"Waste System!"
"Host, don't force me to expose your weakness. You've never even successfully flipped a picture card once in your life."
Tang Si broke down: "You're so awesome, so amazing, you're the supreme system, then how come you almost got slashed to pieces by that silver-haired girl?"
"So this world is very strange. Some kinds of card spirits can actually hurt me. However, that silver-haired girl was also seriously injured, otherwise she wouldn't have been captured by these people. So you must do your best to capture it and absorb it so that I can recover my strength."
"No, let me play with it to my heart's content before you absorb it."
"As you wish, host Tang Si."
