Chapter 350
"Shut up! What good is your apology? Because of this damn system, he ruined my past life and even killed my brother, Lin Luoluo.
My brother Lin Luoluo, he died trying to deal with this bastard in that small world. He's dead, how can you make it up to me?
All the victims in these two small worlds, how can you, as a space-time manager, compensate us!"
Lin Zaozao glared at the red-haired man before her, her golden eyes flashing with light. Even her physique slowly returned to its frail appearance.
At this moment, the red-haired man standing in front of her felt that the killing intent emanating from Lin Zaozao was almost tangible.
"Host, please calm down. I came here to make amends for our mistakes."
"People are dead, how can you make amends? Moreover, because of your one mistake, so many people died.
Now, what good is your casual apology? Let me tell you, not all mistakes can be ended with a simple 'sorry.'"
Lin Zaozao grew increasingly angry as she spoke. At this point, she wanted to fight the handsome red-haired man before her, even if it meant throwing eggs at a stone.
"Host, please don't be angry."
The Red-haired Handsome Man, faced with Lin Zaozao's furious demeanor, took a step back before speaking in a conciliatory tone.
"Host, as a space-time manager, I promise you this. All those who died because of this system, I will arrange for them to live happily and prosperously for three lifetimes.
As for your brother Lin Luoluo, being the chosen one of a realm, I will reward him with ten lifetimes of peace and happiness. The same goes for you. How about that?"
"No!" Lin Zaozao immediately retorted.
"Host, this is the best compensation I can offer. What else are you unsatisfied with?"
"Hmph! What's this about a lifetime of happiness and prosperity? Lin Luoluo and I were the chosen ones of a realm, and we still ended up with such a miserable fate.
If you promise us ten lifetimes of peace and prosperity now, who's to say you won't turn around and arrange another damned system to frame us?
After all, who knows if we'll be chosen ones or sacrificial priests in our next lives?
By then, if we become ordinary people without any power, wouldn't it be as easy as crushing an ant for you to kill us?"
"Host, what do you want then?" The Red-haired Handsome Man asked with a frown.
"Turn Lin Luoluo and me into space-time managers like you."
"No, that's absolutely impossible!"
"Is that so?" Lin Zaozao waved her hand, and a knife appeared in her grasp. To the Red-haired Handsome Man's shock, she plunged the knife directly into the chest of the system at her feet.
As blood splattered onto Lin Zaozao's face, the Red-haired Handsome Man stared at her in disbelief.
"This damn system ruined me, so I'm taking my revenge. I'll dissect it right here, avenging myself, Lin Luoluo, and all those who died by its hand."
Just as Lin Zaozao was about to strike again, the Red-haired Handsome Man hurriedly intervened.
"Wait, I agree! I agree, alright?"
"Oh? It seems this system at my feet is quite important to you, isn't it?"
Lin Zaozao pressed the knife against the system's throat, speaking with venom.
"Host, I will take him back and punish him for his mistakes. As for you and Lin Luoluo, as compensation, I'll make you both space-time managers."
"When will Lin Luoluo and I become space-time managers like you?"
Lin Zaozao pressed the knife closer to the system's throat.
"Wait, I'll report to my superiors right away."
The Red-haired Handsome Man, looking nervously at Lin Zaozao, immediately turned and began muttering rapidly into thin air.
Watching the Red-haired Handsome Man's panicked state, Lin Zaozao looked down at the system at her feet.
Damn it! Just wait, she definitely wouldn't let this bastard off the hook.
When Lin Zaozao looked up again, the Red-haired Handsome Man had finished his muttering.
"Well? Can Lin Luoluo and I become space-time managers now?"
"Yes! However, Host..."
"My name is Lin Zaozao, not some damn Host."
"If you become a space-time manager, you must abide by the space-time management regulations. You can't arbitrarily change the order of a small world."
"I'm not that industrious. I won't meddle in others' affairs unnecessarily."
"Very well, please sign the contract, Host. Once you sign, you'll become a space-time manager."
Looking at the screen that appeared out of thin air, Lin Zaozao carefully read it several times from beginning to end. Finding no contractual traps, she finally signed her name.
"What about Lin Luoluo?"
"I will present the contract to Lin Luoluo and relay our conversation to him.
Whether he signs or not is his choice, I have no right to interfere."
"Where is Lin Luoluo now? Is he still alive?"
Lin Zaozao asked the Red-haired Handsome Man anxiously.
"He's still alive. As for where he is, Lin Zaozao, that's for you to find out.
If you and he are destined to meet, you'll naturally find him. If your fate with Lin Luoluo has run its course, don't blame me if you can't find him."
With that, the Red-haired Handsome Man put away the screen in his hand and prepared to leave with the system on the ground.
"Wait!"
"Lin Zaozao, what else do you need?"
"I want to ask, now that I've become a space-time manager, is my rank the same as yours?"
"Yes, why?"
"In that case, do I have the authority to deal with this damned system now?"
Lin Zaozao kicked the corrupt system at her feet and said coldly.
"Yes, you... you have that authority."
The Red-haired Handsome Man looked at the system at Lin Zaozao's feet and spoke haltingly.
"That's all I needed to know. Since I have the authority to deal with him, I'll take care of him myself."
Lin Zaozao yanked the system up from the ground and turned to walk out of the illusory realm.
Damn system, its time has come...
