Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Narcissistic and Shameless

’It’s a real pain being this outstanding these days...’

The System, who was just carrying his worn-out little clothes to go exchange them, froze on the spot when he heard his host’s inner voice.

The poor Little Commander’s quality of life had plummeted by more than a few notches ever since he confessed all and started over as a new System.

In the past, he would have just donated old clothes like these to poorer Systems.

But now, he actually had to trade in his old clothes just to get a new set.

He never expected to hear such narcissistic and shameless words from his host.

Thinking about his own attributes, the System had a sudden realization.

’So my narcissistic, shameless, and utterly thick-skinned personality is actually just a copy of my host’s, right?’

The System’s round eyes shone with a clever light...

’I must be the smartest System there is. I definitely developed this trait all on my own.’

After a moment, Wu Yue shook her head to clear it.

’Wait a minute, I’m not usually this narcissistic. What’s gotten into me today?’

’As a reserved and profound person, I absolutely cannot be swayed by a few lines of flattery.’

Forcing down the curve of her lips, she put on a look that said ’I’m not buying it’ and asked, "Don’t think I’ll believe you just because you say a few nice things. Are you just trying to butter me up because you want to build a house too?"

The System facepalmed. "..."

’Host, where’s your brain?’

’Her partner is a Half beastman Warrior. What would she need a house for?’

’Aren’t caves good enough?’

Aya giggled, smugly linking arms with the Half beastman beside her. "My partner is a Half beastman Warrior. We can live in a cave, so we don’t need to build a house."

Wu Yue: "..."

’So, System, why didn’t you give me a heads-up just now?’

System: "..."

’Meow meow meow?’

’Isn’t this blame being shifted to me a little too fast and out of the blue?’

"It’s mainly because your character profile has always been ’intelligent, wise, and cultured; delicate, soft, and as beautiful as a flower.’ So I thought that probably... should... maybe... you wouldn’t need a reminder from my puny, sesame-seed-sized brain."

Wu Yue: "..."

’Heh heh, you think just because you’re praising me I’ll... I’ll just let it go. After all, life isn’t easy for you.’

COUGH COUGH!

"System, I hear that electronic products have high memory requirements. If you’re not up to snuff, you should go get an upgrade sooner rather than later. Don’t hold up the distribution of future mission rewards."

System: "..."

’Who are you calling not up to snuff?!’

’Host, I was just being appropriately modest... I’m more than up to snuff!’

Wu Yue coughed lightly and looked at Aya. "I get it. You can go back now, I’m still busy."

One of the males beside her looked at her in confusion. "You’re not busy. Didn’t we just..."

The other male next to him nudged him with his elbow, then said with a dry laugh, "There are still some things we don’t know about construction. Yue, you’ll have to explain it all to us properly later."

After speaking, he shot the other male an annoyed glare. ’This guy really is a blockhead.’

Wu Yue nodded. "Yes, that’s right."

Aya played along, waving her hand. "Okay, you get back to it then. I’ll find you to go gathering some other day."

Watching her leave, Wu Yue still felt a little suspicious.

’Does this girl really not hold any malice toward me anymore?’

"I just knew it. Once Aya saw your abilities, Yue, she would definitely come and apologize to you."

The voice of Qinghua suddenly came from behind her, and Wu Yue instantly whipped her head around to look.

She saw Qinghua standing there, nodding with a look of satisfied relief, like a proud Grandma.

Wu Yue fell silent...

’Qinghua, don’t look at me like that. You’re making me feel like a helpless infant.’
