Chapter 195: The Bootlicking Immortal Lord Who Wants to Live Off a Woman – End

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing the mission. Points +1000.

The system’s cold, mechanical voice slowly echoed.

Shen Xiuyan slowly opened his eyes.

“Quick, let’s start the next mission!” Shen Xiuyan was already itching to dive into the next one.

The system’s program stuttered for a moment at his words.

This was truly the most cold-blooded, heartless Host it had ever seen.

He finally made it back, and he doesn’t even have a word for the system?

He’s that eager to leave again?

Should it just leave instead???

At this moment, the system felt like the Host was more of a system than the system itself—how else could he be so emotionally detached?

But then again, a Host with ambition wasn’t a bad thing. While other systems were still stressing over how to earn points, this guy had already entered early retirement mode, living off his missions.

“My dear little System, why aren’t you talking to me?” Shen Xiuyan grew anxious when the system stayed silent. “Your Host is ready to start the next mission!!!”

The system snapped back to attention, its cold mechanical voice slicing through the air once more.

Main system is currently upgrading. This system does not recommend starting a mission at this time, as it may result in error codes. Host is advised to wait ten days until the upgrade is complete before proceeding.

Shen Xiuyan: “…”

Well damn, that was like a bucket of cold water dumped over his head. His heart sank.

He really didn’t want to wait that long.

So he asked curiously, “What kind of error are we talking about if I start now? Instant death? Or maybe I lose an arm or a leg???”

The system twitched the corner of its non-existent mouth.

That won’t happen, but—

Before it could finish, Shen Xiuyan cut it off, relieved to hear that his physical safety was intact. “Then it’s fine. As long as I’m not losing limbs, let’s just go ahead with the mission.”

System: …

Well, since the Host insists, a good system knows when to stop arguing.

If the Host doesn’t care, why should it?

Ding. Initiating plane transfer. Host, please prepare for transmission.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6… 3, 2, 1—Transfer channel open.

That familiar sensation surged through Shen Xiuyan’s body again, making his head spin. He closed his eyes as the dizziness took over.

When he came to, the system’s cold voice rang out.

Transfer successful. Mission—

“Ahhh! Who are you? Why are you speaking in my head?” Shen Xiuyan yelped, panicked. “Wait, who am I? Why can’t I remember anything…”

His eyes were filled with confusion, looking utterly lost.

System: …

No way. Sure, starting a mission during an upgrade might cause a few glitches, but did he really just get amnesia?

The odds of that were like… world-ending level. And this guy actually hit the jackpot?

Boohoo.

For the first time, the system felt genuinely distressed.

It told him not to come. But no, the Host insisted.

Now he’s got amnesia—what if it affects his mission progress?

This system really had it rough.

But what’s done is done. The system had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to communicate with Shen Xiuyan.

I am your system. We’ve been completing missions across different worlds. It seems there was an accident during the transfer, which caused your memory loss.

Shen Xiuyan blinked, feeling like he was in some kind of fantasy novel. “Don’t try to fool me. I’m not stupid.”

System: …

Well, at least he wasn’t brain-damaged. If he could still think clearly, then maybe the mission was still salvageable.

But how was it supposed to explain all this?

It wasn’t exactly a smooth talker.

After a brief silence, Shen Xiuyan spoke first. “Uh, System? You still there?”

I’m here.

Shen Xiuyan shivered.

Then he patted his chest to calm himself down. “Okay, okay. It’s fine.”

He gave a bitter smile. “So… what you said just now, it’s all true?”

I swear, more real than gold.

Shen Xiuyan sighed. “So what do we do now?”

Complete the mission. Once you return to the mission space, your memories will come back.

Right now, Shen Xiuyan’s mind felt like a bowl of mush. He couldn’t remember a thing, and the feeling was awful.

But hearing that gave him a bit of hope. He perked up. “Alright then, what’s the mission? Let’s finish it and go home.”

Not “we.” Just you.

Shen Xiuyan: “…”

So heartless. The system was really just going to let him suffer alone.

“Fine, whatever. Just tell me what to do and I’ll do it.”

Transmitting storyline~

Ding. Mission issued: Live a peaceful life through the apocalypse.

“Ap—Apocalypse?” Shen Xiuyan couldn’t believe it. “You mean that kind of apocalypse?”

Yes, exactly the one you’re thinking of.

The system didn’t even give him a second to mentally prepare. It confirmed it without hesitation.

Shen Xiuyan frowned deeply and asked the most crucial question, “This is hell mode, and I have to survive an entire lifetime? What kind of help can you give me?”

The system can’t provide direct assistance. However, you can use your previously earned points to exchange for necessary items.

Shen Xiuyan’s eyes lit up. “I want to exchange!”

As soon as he said the words, a translucent blue screen appeared in front of him, displaying a wide array of items.

Shen Xiuyan first checked his points—and to his surprise, he had a ton.

Looks like the system wasn’t lying. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have saved up so many points.

And clearly, before he lost his memory, he must’ve been a total badass.

Nice.

He browsed through the system store and finally picked out a few abilities.

One was a spatial ability—he could enter a private dimension at will.

Another was lightning—high attack power, perfect for staying alive.

Then fire—because you need fire for survival, obviously.

Water—for the same reason.

And the most expensive of all, a healing ability—an absolute must-have for apocalypse survival.

After redeeming them all, Shen Xiuyan suddenly felt like living to a ripe old age in the apocalypse wasn’t such a far-fetched dream after all.

The system watched its Host picking and choosing, and it had to resist the urge to stop him multiple times.

Such a waste of points. Once he gets his memory back, he’s going to cry.

But in the end, it held back. After all, every point the Host spent meant a commission for the system.

In the previous worlds, he’d been so stingy. Now it was finally time to spend.

Shen Xiuyan closed the screen, very pleased. “Alright, I’ll take these.”

Got it. Just a friendly reminder: the apocalypse begins in three days. Host, you should use this time to stock up on supplies. Good luck. The system will now go offline.

With a crisp ding~, the system vanished again.

Shen Xiuyan called out tentatively, “System? Little System? Are you still there?”

The only response was silence inside his head.

So silent, he started to wonder if everything that had just happened was just a figment of his imagination.

But the surge of strange energy coursing through his body told him it was all real.

Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it.

Shen Xiuyan quickly adjusted his mindset and began reviewing the plot the system had just transmitted into his mind.
