niece, what's going on? It's so strange. I feel surprised inside, but I maintain my composure on the surface. Then I observe the attitudes of the people around me to see how they will react. I will decide what to do next based on their attitudes.
When the people around me heard what the old man said, they all seemed to suddenly understand. But after realizing this, when they saw that I didn't respond and didn't take the old man's money, they immediately became hesitant again.
I looked around and saw the skeptical gazes of the people change from looking at me as if I were mentally ill to looking at me with suspicion. I also noticed the concerned look from the old man. I had already made up my mind. I gave myself a perfect excuse, so I immediately took advantage of the situation and forced out two tears, crying loudly, "Yes, sir, I don't know who the jerk was that stole my wallet just now. You know, the money inside was my salary for this month. Oh, my mortgage, it's all up in the air now. I really don't know what to do this month, so, I'm sorry, I just lost control of my emotions and shouted out, scaring everyone. I apologize to everyone here, sob..."
Hearing my tearful performance, everyone who had been hesitant immediately believed my words. Some kind-hearted people even donated some money to me. I think if I weren't a pretty girl, those people probably wouldn't have donated money, because most of the donors were men, and some even took the opportunity to touch my hand. Ugh, so disgusting. But for the sake of face and keeping a low profile, I thanked each of them and then quickly slipped away.
Of course I can't leave this farmers' market yet, I haven't finished buying my things. I sneaked away to the place where they sell live chickens and ducks, of course it's the kind of place where they are alive. Unfortunately, I still don't know where this place is, so I quickly walked to a location far from the one I was just at and asked the vegetable vendor there. Luckily, the place that sells live chickens and ducks is not in this building, but in the open-air market.
It's the successor of this farmers' market, which is great. The farther away from the previous location, the better, I thought to myself. I bet the people who saw me make a fool of myself earlier probably won't go there, so I quickly ran over and only stopped when I was far from the exit.
I bought some chickens and ducks, and I bought them in pairs. I'm thinking maybe they will lay eggs and reproduce, but maybe not. By the way, I can also buy some chicks, ducklings, and goslings. Luckily, they are also sold here. I bought a hundred of each, using the method of buying a hundred at a time, all packed in cardboard boxes. When I arrived at the deserted place, I directly received them and handed them over to Little Yellow to take care of.
Then I went to the fresh area and bought some live fish and other live seafood.
Although I bought these things again, I have been feeling depressed. However, after the recent experience, I dare not shout randomly anymore. I'm afraid of being considered mentally ill again. How can Little Ink go to school in the future? I'm worried about embarrassing Little Ink. I want Little Ink to go to school like a normal child. I can't have Little Ink be laughed at by classmates for having a mother with a mental illness as soon as he arrives at school. Even if Little Ink doesn't show it on the surface, I think he still minds it inside. So even if I'm feeling depressed, I can only keep it to myself.
It seems that Little Yellow noticed my depression and comforted me, saying, "Master, don't be depressed. When you're down, the whole Space feels oppressive. Your evil spirits are now too scared to even show themselves, afraid that you'll vent your anger on them and scatter their souls with just a thought. Actually, Master, you don't know, but the Space is a bit chaotic right now. I haven't planned it out yet. Even if you come in and see it, you won't feel comfortable. It's better to wait until you come in tomorrow. Little Yellow promises to surprise you and make you fall in love with it here, not wanting to leave."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't take it out on them. I'm not a violent person like that. Sigh! Even if I don't want to go out, what can I do? In the end, when the hour comes, I still have to go out. Little Yellow, I'm so frustrated. I really want to become a soul like you, so I can stay inside as I please. Little Yellow, now you're the steward here. Do you have any way to upgrade this Space so I can stay in it longer?" I sighed first, then thought that Little Yellow was selected by the Space system as the steward, so the Space system should tell him how to upgrade it.
"Master, the Space system didn't tell me about this issue, nor did it tell me. Why don't you ask the System Lord yourself?" Little Yellow's tone didn't sound like a lie, and in the end, he kindly suggested to me.
"Yeah, I can't be so passive, so I used my mind to shout at Space: 'Is System Lord there? System Lord, can your current master ask you something?' 'No, not now, not now. The system is currently malfunctioning. Please contact tomorrow if you have any issues,' the cold system voice came into my ears, almost making me furious."
niece, system failure, can still speak so unsteadily, this is obviously perfunctory to me, not wanting to answer my questions. I seriously doubt the authenticity of being the owner of this Space, just like I am only the nominal owner of Space, and System Lord is the real owner.
Otherwise, if I can't even control a system, am I still the damn owner? To prove the authenticity of my ownership, I got angry and shouted, "Damn it, System Lord, you must talk to the owner now, otherwise you will never have the right to speak. Of course, the premise is that I am truly the owner of this Space. Oh, to test whether I am the true owner of this Space, I will first try to see if I can block System Lord from speaking..."
"Wait, the system malfunction has been resolved, master, I can talk to you now." Before I could even finish saying the words 'speaking rights,' System Lord immediately abandoned the previous cold tone and instead replied to me in a somewhat sycophantic manner. That fawning voice made my goosebumps almost fall off, I really didn't expect System Lord to not be so cold.
But with System Lord changing its voice like this, being so sycophantic, can it still be considered System Lord? I express my doubts. The System Lord written in other books is supposed to be as cold as a machine. Oh, wait, because the system's voice is pre-set, how could it change? Otherwise, how could it be called System Lord? So I asked with some confusion, "Hey, that System Lord, are you really System Lord? Can System Lord have emotions? This is not scientific!"
"Master, actually I'm not a System Lord, I'm the spirit of the artifact here. I was just too bored and wanted to play a joke on you. Please don't be angry." The enchanting voice of the System Lord echoed again, and what he said really shocked me.
Damn, so it turns out that Nima is the spirit of the artifact, not some kind of ruling lord. You should just stick to being a spirit of the artifact, why the heck are you playing with different identities? And this guy even transformed into a fake System Lord to fool me. Hmph! Let's see how I'll deal with you tomorrow when I go in.
However, considering that he helped me to take care of Little Yellow, such an obedient butler, I might feel a little happy and might not scold him as much.
By the way, since System Lord is the spirit of the artifact, and he is so afraid of me banning his speech, it means I am really the master of this Space. So, I don't have to abide by the rule of only being able to enter for an hour a day. Therefore, I plan to enter Space with just a thought and see what the spirit of the artifact looks like. If it's cute, I might let it go, but if it's annoying, well, don't blame me for being superficial. I definitely won't be kind to it. I will definitely punish it severely for making me upset. I hold grudges.
Before, sister secretly promised to hit you less because you helped her find an obedient butler. Sister will of course fulfill her promise. As for how to fulfill it, take this example: originally, sister was going to hit you a hundred times, but in order to fulfill her promise, she will mentally think of hitting you a hundred and eight times. In theory, isn't sister hitting you eight times less? In reality, she didn't hit you any less, but theoretically, sister has fulfilled her promise. Haha... I'm smirking in my heart.
But niece, why can't sister still get in? Looking at the unchanged surroundings, I angrily said again, "spirit of the artifact, are you trying to silence me? Let me in quickly, or I'll punish you by making you mute."
"Master, it's not my business. It's the creator of this Space who set the rules, it has nothing to do with me. Please, don't accuse me, master. I'm very cute and obedient. Please don't silence me." As soon as I finished speaking, spirit of the artifact hurriedly explained, afraid that I would silence him if he explained too late.
Actually, I don't think it matters whether I silence him or not. I haven't seen him say much anyway. It's really interesting, a person who doesn't like to talk, yet is afraid of being silenced. So I joked, "spirit of the artifact, you don't like to talk, so you shouldn't be afraid of being silenced. Why do you act like a chatterbox and fear that I might silence you? Are you trying to get my attention on purpose?"
"No, master, you don't understand. I really am afraid of being silenced, that's why I didn't dare to speak much. Back when I was first created by the Space Founder, I was silenced many times for talking too much, which made me fearful of being silenced. Master, I will be obedient, please don't silence me again, okay?" pleaded the spirit of the artifact pitifully.
