-
What do you mean by that?
-
Jayden conveyed to Frederick in confusion. He had a general idea of what could be wrong, but wanted to satisfy his curiosity, before acting rashly.
-
These guys are weirdos. They're dangerous, they could all hack your system.
-
Why makes you think that? That's systematically impossible.
-
It is! they hacked my girlfriend's system.
-
Hahahaha... 'They hacked my girlfriend's system in the apocalypse', I think I've come across a webnovel like that back when Earth was still Earth.
-
This is not a joke!
-
Did they hack yours too?
-
No, I dunno why.
-
What if they're just your girlfriend's friends playing a prank on you?
-
What do you mean by that?
-
Or maybe she's trying to use you for her biddings, then dump you later on.
-
Do I look like a joke to you?
-
Pretty much! Isn't this so much convenient? It feels like an advanced Instagram.
-
Jesus! Could you be serious for once?
-
Ok, ok. Bring her in.
-
In for what?
-
I need to clarify from her first, before running like you said... Because it seems like I'm interrupting your illegal mining session.
-
W-what? What are you talking about?
-
Where's the gold?
-
"Shit! Guys, he knows"
Frederick voiced out loud with a grim tone.
"Come on! You couldn't even convince the lad!"
"Can you do anything right?"
"Piece of shit! We're splitting your share for him!"
The surrounding 'system holders' began throwing nasty comments in anger and disappointment.
"You're smarter than I gave you credits for. How did you know?"
Frederick asked Jayden who had a dumbfounded look on his face with a dropped jaw.
He was only joking and messing with Frederick about the gold mining.
"W-well, I've been smart right from time"
[Pfft... Don't joke like... Cough!... I'm eating!]
'What? Eating what?'
[Spaghetti and meatballs.]
'Where'd you get that? How can you even eat?'
[I'm more than a fallen celestial beings consciousness now. No more questions!]
"Hi..."
A busty blonde haired young lady walked up to them with a calm smile, and entwined her fingers with Frederick.
"Hi. You must be Frederick's girlfriend, how's your system doing?"
Jayden asked with a slight smile.
"What system?"
The lady asked with a raised brow, and glanced at Frederick who was standing by her side.
"Hahaha... You're a funny guy Jayden. There's nothing like a system, right?"
Frederick chuckled awkwardly and asked, while stylishly winking at Jayden to play along.
"But you said you were a clan of system holders?"
Jayden asked, feigning confusion as he ignored Frederick's signals.
"Yeah, Why'd you make that statement? Is there really a thing like system holders?"
The lady asked, scrutinizing the expression of her boyfriend.
"T-there is no such thing as systems or system holders. They were just the product of my imagination"
Frederick replied, averting his gaze from that of his girlfriend.
"But don't you think it'd be fun to have a system in an apocalypse?"
The lady asked with a smile.
[I really don't understand what this piece of shit is playing at.]
'What do you mean?'
Jayden asked in confusion.
[She's a system holder... A powerful one at that.]
'I've always been longing for this moment to come!'
Jayden replied in excitement.
[What are you talking about?]
'This is a top tier mystery, which I must get to bottom of, to fulfill the wish of my father!'
Jayden thought to Mia with determination.
[I just went through your brain library in search for this so called father, but discovered you have no father, nor a mum. You grew up in the foster home, with a 'first love' romance with this girl named... Amber.]
'Shut up! I wasn't talking about a human father, but the true creator... And I have a mum now, guess who?'
Jayden asked mysteriously.
[I can never be a mum to a pervert!]
'What do you mean by that? Stop going through my Rated18 brain library section!'
"Could you stop staring at my boobs?"
Jayden suddenly heard the voice of the lady, and realized that while he was bickering with Mia, his gaze were unintentionally on the lady's busty boobs.
"I wasn't, I was deep in thoughts"
Jayden clarified and glanced at Frederick who didn't take offense, as he knew what Jayden was doing.
"So, how did you both become such a lovely couple?"
Jayden asked with a slight smile.
"You won't believe it. It was love at first sight. Just like you, she met us mining the gold, and volunteered to help me without getting a share. From that moment on, I knew she was the one for me!"
Frederick said gleefully.
"Wait, wait, wait. How long have you guys been mining?"
Jayden asked in surprise.
"Well, half a day now"
Frederick replied after doing a mental calculation.
"So you're trying to tell me, you both met today! And began dating, today!"
Jayden asked with wide eyes.
"Yeah, approximately thirty minutes since she came by and we started dating. Love is truly unpredictable"
Frederick said with a wide smile and glanced at his girlfriend who was smiling too.
"What's your in-game name?"
Jayden asked Frederick with a raised brow.
"Beastboy"
Frederick replied with a smirk.
"That really suits your ability... But you should've used something like 'dummy' or 'clown' or maybe 'I'm a Dog'"
Jayden said with a sarcastic tone.
"To be sincere, I thought of those. But don't they sound a little bit off?"
Frederick asked innocently.
"..."
Jayden was truly speechless.
[He's not normal... I don't know the ability of this piece of shit, but I believe it has something to do with hypnosis and shape shifting.]
'Shape shifting? What makes you think that?'
Jayden asked curiously.
[That's not her true appearance, I can bet you on that. Ask the piece of shit her name.]
'Why do you keep calling her a piece of shit?'
Jayden asked in amusement.
[Something is terribly wrong here! You should leave now!]
'You're spooking me. What's wrong?'
Jayden was starting to panic.
[If she lets you leave, then I'm wrong. But if she tries to stop you...]
"I think I'll be leaving now. I don't really need the gold. Bye"
Jayden quickly said and turned around to leave.
"Come on, you can't leave just like that. I've been longing to see you again... Husband"
A familiar alluring voice suddenly came from behind Jayden, which made him pause his steps, and slowly turn around with a fluctuating heartbeat.
[That's it! I'm taking over!]
