Jiang Xiaoman had already guessed it, so she didn’t get flustered.

She asked, “What happened?”Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

“When you fainted, the electric currents and magnetic field of my chip went chaotic. When I recovered, I found that the numbers on your status screen had changed.” The system didn’t notice anything wrong at first. Although its host fainted for a few seconds, her body functions were normal, and all her organs were functioning normally. There didn’t seem to be any problem.

Later on, it took a look at its host’s status screen and found a clue.

The status screen was a panel that quantified its host’s physical condition. Aside from her vital signs, it also tracked internal values

such as IQ and EQ.

Originally, the number on its host’s knowledge column was 85, but it was now 80, a decrease of 5 points.

This was a very strange thing.

Generally speaking, as long as one kept learning new material, the number would not decrease. It would generally increase along with age. Although, there were also people who were very smart at the beginning, but wasted their good IQ by not thinking about progress.

But its host was still in high school, gradually reaching the peak on her life knowledge reserves. It was impossible for this number to decrease. Even if it took a thousand steps back, its host was not Fang Zhongyong1, so how could such an outrageous thing happen?

The system analyzed the situation and came to a conclusion.

“Host, a system attacked you.” The system muttered, “This system is a bit scarier than we thought. I’m reminded of some bad things. We may have encountered the legendary big system.”

“What’s a big system?”

“A host needs to complete the tasks issued by the system to obtain points, then use the points to trade with the system. However, systems are not omnipotent. Each system can only perform their own duties, and can only trade out the corresponding skills. But this big system can exchange stuff without points.”

“??!!” Jiang Xiaoman’s eyes widened, and she was suddenly filled with the motivation to upgrade. “System, if I upgrade you to the limit, will I not need points to ask you for something in the future?”

Was this the beauty of a big system?

“Exchange health for health, exchange knowledge for knowledge, this system is really interesting.” Jiang Xiaoman touched her chin and pondered, “Liang Siyu exchanged my knowledge for knowledge to pass this exam, then she exchanged grandpa’s health for health... No, it’s not just health. Grandpa’s lifespan was shortened by 13 years. It’s lifespan for lifespan.”

“Hey...” Jiang Xiaoman suddenly had a terrifying guess, “Could it be that Liang Siyu is treating something? Or is she already terminally ill, or even dead?”

“...! Host! We’re not psychics, stay awake!”

“Ah.” Jiang Xiaoman recovered from the dazed state. She understood the whole story now and calmed down.

“If I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet2?”

“What are you going to do, host? Are we not going to make a move if the enemy doesn’t?”

“No, let’s do her in!”

“Can, can we? Can we beat them?”

Jiang Xiaoman comforted, “Don’t worry, System. You are still great, I still like you very much.”

At this time, the system had nothing to say except wuu wuu wuu. It even came up with a terrifying thought – what main quest, what System Code of Honor, what System Ethics, screw them all!

It only needed its host.

Its host was really the best host in the world! Even now, she wouldn’t give up on it!

Jiang Xiaoman packed up her school bag and stationeries, called Yu Qingshi and went home together.
