After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Shen Mengli asked curiously: "But I remember... this seems to be the initial form of the system, right? Didn't you give it a shape you like?"

Hearing this, Gu Qingze looked towards the transparent ball, as if he saw Ling Xiao through the transparent ball, his eyes full of affection, he said:

"Well...I want to wait until Ling Xiao comes back, and then discuss it with him. The same goes for naming. This is something he and I own together, so we have to decide together."

Shen Mengli couldn't help laughing and teased, "The look in your eyes...tsk tsk tsk, if someone who doesn't know the truth saw it, they would think you have a crush on this transparent little ball. If I didn't know that you already have someone in your heart, even I would be fooled."

"Or....you want to give me some back now because I just sprinkled some 'dog food' on you?" she asked with a smile.

"What's going on?" Gu Qingze looked confused, obviously not following her train of thought, his eyes full of innocence.

Seeing him like this, Shen Mengli couldn't bear to continue teasing him, so she changed the subject:

"But then again, since you were able to get your own system after negotiating with him, it means the result of the negotiation was pretty good for you."

"Yeah." Gu Qingze nodded and said sincerely, "Feng Ying is actually a very good person."

After Shen Mengli heard this, she couldn't help but wonder, "A very good person...?"

She recalled her negotiation process with Feng Ying. His serious and cold attitude still made her feel scared and she couldn't help shivering.

This seems to be very different from the "very good person" that Gu Qingze mentioned.

"Senior Sister Shen, what's wrong with you?" Gu Qingze noticed her abnormality and asked with concern.

Shen Mengli shook her head and forced a smile: "...Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something."

She knew in her heart that the whole world was under Feng Ying's observation, just with different degrees of importance.

As a reformer, she and Gu Qingze, whom Feng Ying values, are undoubtedly the key targets of observation.

Even if the system shielding was turned on, at her level, facing a master like Feng Ying, the shielding effect was almost negligible.

What's more....she didn't turn on the system shielding.

There was no way out. After reaching that unequal cooperation with Feng Ying, she had to follow his arrangements in everything.

Therefore, she must be extra careful and measured when communicating with Gu Qingze.

In short, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, so as to avoid being discovered by Feng Ying. The consequences... will be unimaginable.

Although Gu Qingze was puzzled by Shen Mengli's sudden silence, he chose to respect her and did not continue to ask questions.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Oh, by the way, since I have a system and you have a system, why don't we add each other as friends, just like the time Feng Ying added me."

"I'm not very good at operating the system yet, so I'll have to trouble you to add me. This way, after we add each other as friends, we can still keep in touch when I leave for another world."

Shen Mengli's mood suddenly dropped when she heard this. She lowered her eyes slightly, and after a long while, she gently shook her head, with a hint of helplessness in her tone:

"Junior Brother Gu, although we both have systems, your system was produced by the maintainer, while mine was produced by the modifier. Because the systems are incompatible, we can't add friends."

After hearing this, Gu Qingze nodded in sudden enlightenment and said as if he had thought of something:

"Oh, I see. This is just like WeChat and QQ, right? Although they are both social software, they cannot add each other as friends because they are on different platforms."

Shen Mengli was silent for a moment, and tacitly agreed with his statement: "...It's not wrong to describe it this way."

She bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness: "Besides...even if I can add him as a friend, he won't allow it."

"Why?" Gu Qingze looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Also, the 'he' you mentioned refers to Feng Ying?"

Shen Mengli nodded and explained: "Because... I am carrying out a particularly secret mission, he is worried that I will leak the information, just in case..."

She didn't continue talking, but just raised her head again and looked at Gu Qingze: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Gu Qingze nodded to show his understanding: "I understand."

Then, both of them fell silent.

After a while, Gu Qingze asked as if he wanted to confirm something, "Then after I leave this small world and go to other places to perform tasks, will I never see you again?"

Shen Mengli smiled bitterly: "Well, I'm afraid so. Then we can only...see each other again if we are destined to meet again."

She didn't say everything, but Gu Qingze already understood what she meant. He didn't know how to respond and could only choose to remain silent.

Seeing this, Shen Mengli began to comfort him: "It's nothing. You have to learn to accept separation, and it's a permanent separation."

"Not only me, but also the other friends you met in this small world. Once you leave this small world, you will never see them again."

She paused, and continued, "The speed of time in each small world is different. When you complete your mission and want to see him again, it may be too late..."

"Besides, every entry into a world requires approval, and it's not that easy to enter a small world."

"After you become a tasker, you must not invest too much emotion in this small world when carrying out the mission. Otherwise, when the day of separation comes, you will be very painful. This is also... the conclusion I have drawn from so many experiences."

Gu Qingze was stunned for a while, then nodded: "I see, thank you Senior Sister Shen for telling me this."
