I’m Your Father

JANUARY 2, 2022 / STAR

[Even if what you say is true, what the hell are you?]

[I’m not a what, I’m a system. Haven’t you read any books about systems?] The child loudly asked.

Tang Wan finally couldn’t stop herself from laughing, [And your name really is Dad? Can’t it be changed? Hell, you’re so young that I could be your mother. Aren’t you embarrassed to have me call you Dad?]

[My name cannot be changed! Every system has a code number, and my number is Dad!] In fact, his number is 88.

But 88 sounds like Dad, doesn’t it? In that case, why not let the host call him Dad?

He is really a clever system, so he can trick the host with his words!

He gave himself a thumbs up!

     …

Looking at his old-fashioned appearance, Tang Wan couldn’t resist the urge to step forward and reach out her claws to knead his face.

[It feels good, just like a real person. Are you really alive?] Tang Wan asked surprised.

Tang Wan squeezed his cheeks, causing them to turn red. The child explained with a stern face, [Of course. In order to give the host the best experience, our batch of systems have chosen a humanoid shape. When touched, we feel the same as a real person! Time is running out. If you don’t bind with me, your soul will soon scatter into pieces. But if you bind with me, you can break your lonely fate and have any kind of husband you want.]

Tang Wan was not that foolish. When she heard what he said, she squinted her eyes and asked, [There is such a thing in the world? You wouldn’t be lying to me, would you?]

Hearing Tang Wan’s words, the little boy seemed a little anxious. He immediately said, [Of course there is no such thing as a free lunche in this world. You have to complete tasks according to my requirements. This will allow you to obtain the energy value that you need to continue to exist. Once the energy value has reached a certain extent, it can then be exchanged for the chance of rebirth.]

Hearing this, Tang Wan was a little surprised. Could she be reborn?

She showed a thoughtful look when she saw the child’s nervous eyes?

But soon Tang Wan stopped struggling. She was dead anyway, and she hadn’t had a serious relationship in her entire life. If binding with the system could really break her lonely fate, why not give it a try?

In the next moment, Tang Wan nodded at the little boy, [I can agree to binding with you, but I won’t call you Dad. If you don’t agree, I won’t bind even if my soul ends up disappearing into a void.]

As soon as she said this, the child’s face immediately became unhappy. But soon, he reluctantly nodded, [Ok then. I will let you change my name once, but you can’t give me a bad name.]

Tang Wan heard this and immediately said with a smile, [Don’t worry, how about just calling you Little Cutie?]

The Child released a sigh of relief and reluctantly gave a hum. Although not that nice sounding, it was better than one of his companions who was named Er Gouzi1 by the host!

Afterwards, he said to Tang Wan, [Now, I’ll start the binding process!]

“Scanning has begun… scanning complete…match has 100% compatibility … binding…”

“System’s binding is complete!”

   …

When the binding was complete, a computerized female voice sounded, “Congratulations to the host for binding with the cute system! Next, please follow the cute system to the Three Thousand Worlds to complete tasks and obtain energy points. The host will be able to be reborn once the energy value reaches one million. Good Luck, host.”
