The system reeked, the entire system space filled with the scent of aged pickled vinegar.
On the other side.
The transmigration female not only escaped, but also took the Spirit Pearl with her. While taking the Spirit Pearl, she also learned some earth-shattering secrets.
For instance, she unexpectedly gained the memories of An Mingli from her previous life.
Upon acquiring An Mingli's memories, the transmigration female was greatly shocked.
She realized that the original An Mingli had already "gone offline," and the current occupant was an unknown entity from another world, likely a fellow traveler like herself.
From An Mingli's memories, the transmigration female also learned that she would soon hold a high position and be adored by the masses.
Originally, she was meant to be the protagonist of this world, the savior of the apocalypse, destined to be revered like a deity by these ignorant mortals.
But all of this had been ruined by the current An Mingli.
How dare that woman not only steal her Spirit Pearl but also put her in such a predicament! It was unforgivable.
After processing An Mingli's memories, the transmigration female, while the system was not paying attention, also pilfered the Spirit Pearl and used it to break the restrictions of the system space, then slipped away.
...
Mingli leisurely flew on her sword, appearing completely unhurried.
Seeing Mingli's demeanor, the system in the system space felt puzzled and asked, "Host, why aren't you panicking at all? I know you're a great boss, but this is too relaxed."
Mingli's lips twitched. She casually replied, "Isn't this how a protagonist should act? Mingli never believed she could trap the transmigration female from the start, so the transmigration female's escape was entirely within her expectations."
"If everyone can't escape, then what's the point of the dazzling protagonist halo? Is it just for decoration?"
"Are you an idiot?"
"A large part of why a person is called a protagonist is because our protagonist, blessed with the protagonist's halo, can always miraculously escape from life-or-death situations, not only surviving but also gaining opportunities."
The system still didn't understand.
Mingli thought for a moment and asked, "Did something go missing from the space?"
Upon hearing this, the system searched around.
It discovered that something was indeed missing.
"Host! The Spirit Pearl from last time is gone! What should we do? Did the transmigration female take it?"
Mingli's lips twitched slightly. "Are you stating the obvious? If she didn't take it, do you think the Spirit Pearl grew legs and ran away?"
Suddenly, the system screamed again, "Holy crap! Holy crap! This is bad, host! The transmigration female seems to have learned the original host's memories! What do we do? It's over! She's definitely going to find a way to deal with us now! What do we do? What do we do?"
Mingli's mouth twitched uncontrollably. This system was truly stupid. Not only could things under its nose be stolen, but the plot itself was also being stolen! What was going on?
Annoyed by the system's incessant chatter, Mingli spoke with a chilling voice, "Say one more word, and I'll roast you!"
The system... instantly became as quiet as a chicken, standing rooted to the spot, afraid to move.
Seeing the still-nervous system, Mingli's lips twitched slightly and she said, "What are you so tense about? Or do you think this seat can't handle a mere hormonal fox?"
The system... Hahaha! How could it forget! The person in front of it was a true overlord.
