Chapter 792: Chapter 792: What’s There for Him to Be Happy About!

The System responded quickly.

However, the response wasn’t what Fan Yanshu had hoped for.

Because the System answered, "Host, the item has already started to take effect, but..."

"But what?"

"The target of the item’s use doesn’t seem to be Shi Yaoguang."

As the System’s voice trailed off, a sudden sense of foreboding surged within Fan Yanshu.

Nevertheless, he felt he might be overthinking it.

Shi Yaoguang was just an ordinary person in the city; she had no idea that she had a System on her.

She definitely wouldn’t be able to evade the System’s item.

He had said so much to Shi Yaoguang just now to buy the System time to apply the item to Shi Yaoguang.

The System had previously said it couldn’t directly administer the drug.

But in person, the System still managed to administer it silently and without notice.

The reason he had babbled so much to Shi Yaoguang was to catch her off guard, hoping the System could succeed in administering the drug.

Of course, aside from distracting Shi Yaoguang, he also had the intention of venting his emotions.

It was only under Shi Yaoguang’s complete lack of guard that Fan Yanshu had the confidence to have the System take action.

If Shi Yaoguang had been on guard, he wasn’t sure the System would be successful.

But now...

The System told him, the target was wrong.

Thinking of this, Fan Yanshu couldn’t help being both relieved and worried.

"System, you don’t think Shi Yaoguang knows about your existence, do you?"

The System was still very confident about this point.

"It’s impossible for an ordinary person to know about the existence of the System, you can rest assured of that."

Hearing this, Fan Yanshu was somewhat relieved.

But still a bit nervous.

"You just mentioned that there was an error with the target the item was used on, what happened?"

Regarding this, even the System wanted to know what had gone wrong.

"I don’t know what happened either, but one thing is for certain..."

The stable tone of the System’s voice carried a trace of shaking.

"The deployment of the item failed."

On hearing this, Fan Yanshu was shocked.

His face was the picture of disbelief; it was as if the words "impossible" were written across his face.

"System, you need to explain to me clearly what exactly happened!"

System: "..."

The System began to act as if it was in a tough spot.

It didn’t know what had happened either.

Now it thought it best to protect itself wisely.

Seeing that the System stopped responding to him, Fan Yanshu grew even more anxious.

Unable to help it, he started to shout, "System, you have to give me a straight answer about how to solve this issue!"

The System remained silent.

In his urgency, Fan Yanshu shouted directly to the System, rather than choosing to communicate using brainwaves.

Thus, Shi Yaoguang could hear his voice too.

Her reaction was very calm.

She seemed not to hear the words Fan Yanshu shouted out.

Or rather, the words Fan Yanshu shouted didn’t cause her to panic due to being unclear.

She looked at Fan Yanshu, who was clearly distressed, in a relaxed manner and casually asked, "Mr. Fan, what’s wrong with you? Do you need my help?"

"If you need help, I can assist you."

As she spoke, she even blinked her eyes.

Fan Yanshu: "..."

There was no way she could help.

What he wanted to know was how the item deployment had failed!

Even though he hadn’t previously used points to buy anything from the System store, he was assured of the quality of items from the System store.

But...

The current situation directly contradicted his expectations.

There was a problem with the System store.

The item was also...

Just thinking about this made him very nervous.

Seeing his expression, Shi Yaoguang shrugged, "Don’t be anxious, being anxious doesn’t help. Instead of that, you might as well..."

"Might as well what?"

"Why not think of a way to deal with the prop issue?"

Fan Yanshu subconsciously responded, but after hearing what Shi Yaoguang said, he froze, his face filled with disbelief, "What, what did you just say?"

"I said..." Shi Yaoguang repeated her words, then asked, "Young Master Fan, do you need my help finding props? Don’t worry, it won’t be difficult."

"How, how do you know about the prop issue?" This was what terrified Fan Yanshu.

How did Shi Yaoguang know about the prop issue?

Could it be, she had a System as well?

But that’s not right.

The System had said that it would not target task bearers who possessed a System.

If she wasn’t a task bearer, then how did she know about the existence of a System within him?

As he was puzzled, Shi Yaoguang spoke up again, "Actually, I have a secret to tell you."

"A secret?" Fan Yanshu couldn’t help feeling nervous, "What secret are you talking about?"

Shi Yaoguang smiled and gestured for him to come closer with a hook of her finger.

Although the gesture was full of allure, Quan Jinbei would not be easily seduced by her.

Because...

He had come to deeply understand the danger of this woman!

With this thought, a trace of horror appeared in his eyes.

Shi Yaoguang shrugged her shoulders, "Don’t be nervous, I won’t eat you."

"You want to know why the prop deployment failed, right? I can tell you."

Fan Yanshu tried to suppress the fear rising in his heart, striving to keep his voice steady, "You, explain it to me clearly..."

"Don’t be in such a hurry, I’m just about to tell you, aren’t I?"

Shi Yaoguang said as she took two steps forward.

Fan Yanshu retreated continuously with her movement.

Seeing his actions, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but laugh lightly, "You seem very afraid of me."

"..."

Fan Yanshu didn’t speak.

The issue now was not about whether he was afraid or not.

It was that this woman had problems!

She knew about the existence of the System and the prop deployment failure.

To say that this woman had no tricks up her sleeve, he absolutely didn’t believe it.

"Actually, my acceptance of your invitation to meet today wasn’t because I have any thoughts about you, nor because Quan Jinbei is absent, which would allow me to cultivate you into a subordinate beneath my skirt."

Shi Yaoguang said elongating her tone, "Although I don’t want to do that, I feel like you quite enjoy it, so..."

"I think I’ll oblige you."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yanshu immediately showed a shocked expression, "What, what are you saying?"

"I said, I can oblige you!"

As she spoke, she even blinked her eyes, "How about that, are you happy?"

Fan Yanshu could only scoff.

Happy?

He couldn’t be further from happy!

He was in a panic!

Yet Shi Yaoguang seemed completely oblivious to his tension, astonishingly continuing, "You purposely spoke to me just now to make me drop my guard, right? I think it’s not easy for you to accomplish some things, so I’ve been cooperating with you."

With that, she playfully blinked again, "How about that, happy?"

"...Happy!" he said through gritted teeth, "Happy my ass!"

Shi Yaoguang frowned, seemingly displeased, "How can you speak like that? If you’re happy, then you’re happy; if you’re not, then you’re not. What’s this ’happy my ass’? You’re not brushing me off, are you?"

As Shi Yaoguang spoke the words "You’re not brushing me off," her aura became increasingly imposing.

This made the System inside Fan Yanshu’s body tremble with fear.

Although the System lacked a heart.

But...

It had inherited an animal’s instincts.

And it was precisely because of these extraordinary animal instincts that he had avoided many threats.

Therefore.

In the face of Shi Yaoguang’s formidable presence, the System disgracefully chickened out.

No.

Given how formidable Shi Yaoguang was, it wasn’t a disgrace for the System to cower before her.

Not only was it not disgraceful, it was indeed glorious.

Isn’t there a saying?

As long as the green hills are there, one need not worry about firewood."

This wasn’t cowardice, it was wisdom.

With that, the System issued a command directly to Fan Yanshu, "Host, stop wasting time with her and let’s get going now!"
