After speaking for so long, the System had yet to make a peep.

Forget it. Why am I even telling you all this? You dont even understand the thrill and fun, Jiang Pengji replied dully.

System:

What crime had it committed to be paired with such a host?

I feel that, even if I were to update to version 2.0 I still wouldnt be able to keep up with you.

If you cant keep up, so be it. It would be more fun to bully you that way.

System: You have finally revealed your true intentions

The System was not the only one who couldnt keep up with hereven Xu Ke felt that she could only be understood by the abnormal.

Why do you look so shocked? Jiang Pengji grumbled. The issue is settled for now. For the next few days, just do what you have to and dont look like youre fearing anything. As for those thieves, just do as I ordered.

Xu Ke brought his hands together and gave his promise.

If it were any other upstanding gentlemen besides Xu Ke, they would most likely have a bad impression of Jiang Pengji, and could not get used to her shameless methods.

Xu Ke was an ordinary boy who had been wandering for a period. His mother died a tragic death, he was thrown into jail after seeking revenge, and he nearly died. Such circumstances had shaped him to be different from a normal person. As long as Jiang Pengji did not do anything that would harm him or his interests, backed herself into a corner, or dug her own grave, he would not do anything to stop her. At most, he would try to straighten things up for her.

Xu Ke hated people like Meng Liangthose who enjoyed all the privileges without doing a stroke of work. If Xu Ke had to die to give the Langjun he was loyal to the best possible benefit, so be it. He would not think for Meng Liangs sake unless he had hurt his brain.

Jiang Pengji looked as though she was concentrating on the bamboo scroll, but in actual fact, she was multitasking. A plan had quickly formed in her mind.

System!

The System, that had been feigning ignorance, quickly turned into a puppy wagging its tail when it heard her call it.

What are your orders?

Is there any limit to how many times I can host a quest? Is there a cooldown? If not, I want to start another quest.

The System was astonished. When did its host become so proactive?

There is no limit, but such quests are tiring and most hosts take breaks in between.

If theres no time limit, thats good. The last interaction mode was set by the viewers via voting. This time, lets have a half interaction mode. I get to set the theme. If you want to upgrade yourself, you better do it within these next two days. I might need to stream for quite a while in that mode.

Ive decided to upgrade myself after todays stream. It should take an estimated twelve hours and would not take up your time for streaming tomorrow. As for the stream mode, have you decided on your theme?

Even though the System felt weird about its hosts sudden eagerness in streaming, it was programmed to be happy about it. After all, a host and their System came as a setthey succeed or failed together.

I have a theme. You can put up a preview title and let the viewers know. Jiang Pengjis smile could only be described as demonic. The title will be, The Art of Finishing Off Meng Liang.'

System: Har? Are you sure?

Just post the title and dont ask so much. I know what to do and I wont mess up the stream.

Within a few moments, her viewers noticed a preview title rolling across the screen.

[Preview of the next streamThe Art of Finishing Off Meng Liang. Please look forward to it!!!]

Eh!

In a split second, the screen was filled with comments.

Chun Lie: Can I know if the next stream is tomorrow? If yes, Ill stay on the channel the whole day!

Zhende Jiangshan Ruhua: Finishing off? Someones gonna die. I pitied Meng Liang for just a second.

Koujiao Chifan: I know killing is not right, but when I saw that preview, I was so excited.

Tangchao Lizi: Excited +1. But I want to know when the next stream is. Itll be easier for me to make plans to tune in.

Even though the channel had been upgraded to hold ten thousand viewers, Jiang Pengji was so popular that, to tune into her stream, a viewer had to have the best internet connection and the fastest fingers to get in.

If they knew the timing for the next stream, her viewers could get in to watch.

Host V: I dont have the exact time yet. You guys can follow my channel and be notified the moment I start the stream.

When they received the reminder, many viewers quickly clicked Follow.

And just like that, Jiang Pengjis channel received another few thousand followers.

System:

Even though its host really hated streaming, she knew when to exploit opportunities.

Once Jiang Pengji was done with Xu Ke, she studied for a bit more before summoning the housekeeper. She asked about the whereabouts of Meng Liang and his servant.

The housekeeper seemed prepared and gave her all the details of their day.

He had been the Lius housekeeper for decades! Of course he was prepared to watch them like a hawk and make the necessary reports.

He knew about Meng Liangs situation, but as a servant, he could not say much.

Regardless of whose child Meng Liang was, now that he was in the Liu residence, he should behave himself.

Get someone to watch Meng Liang. Report everything to me, Jiang Pengji said. She paused for a moment before adding, Also, when the other servants are washing their clothes or cleaning their rooms, make sure theyre observant. See if they have these herbs on them Also, dont let them near the kitchens.

While speaking, Jiang Pengji removed the sachets she got from Yingchun Mansion. The old housekeeper was experienced and knowledgeable; he should know what the herbs were for.

This? The housekeeper looked at the obviously male sachets and could not help but think of the worst.
