Chapter 140: Langjun, That’s Dangerous (I)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After speaking for so long, the System had yet to make a peep.
“Forget it. Why am I even telling you all this? You don’t even understand the thrill and fun,” Jiang Pengji replied dully.
System: “...”
What cri had it committed to be paired with such a host?
“I feel that, even if I were to update to version 2.0... I still wouldn’t be able to keep up with you.”
“If you can’t keep up, so be it. It would be more fun to bully you that way.”
System: “...You have finally revealed your true intentions...”
The System was not the only one who couldn’t keep up with her––even Xu Ke felt that she could only be understood by the abnormal.
“Why do you look so shocked?” Jiang Pengji grumbled. “The issue is settled for now. For the next few days, just do what you have to and don’t look like you’re fearing anything. As for those thieves, just do as I ordered.”
Xu Ke brought his hands together and gave his promise.
If it were any other upstanding gentlen besides Xu Ke, they would most likely have a bad impression of Jiang Pengji, and could not get used to her shaless thods.
Xu Ke was an ordinary boy who had been wandering for a period. His mother died a tragic death, he was thrown into jail after seeking revenge, and he nearly died. Such circumstances had shaped him to be different from a normal person. As long as Jiang Pengji did not do anything that would harm him or his interests, backed herself into a corner, or dug her own grave, he would not do anything to stop her. At most, he would try to straighten things up for her.
Xu Ke hated people like ng Liang––those who enjoyed all the privileges without doing a stroke of work. If Xu Ke had to die to give the Langjun he was loyal to the best possible benefit, so be it. He would not think for ng Liang’s sake unless he had hurt his brain.
Jiang Pengji looked as though she was concentrating on the bamboo scroll, but in actual fact, she was multitasking. A plan had quickly ford in her mind.
“System!”
The System, that had been feigning ignorance, quickly turned into a puppy wagging its tail when it heard her call it.
“What are your orders?”
“Is there any limit to how many tis I can host a quest? Is there a cooldown? If not, I want to start another quest.”
The System was astonished. When did its host beco so proactive?
“There is no limit, but such quests are tiring and most hosts take breaks in between.”
“If there’s no ti limit, that’s good. The last interaction mode was set by the viewers via voting. This ti, let’s have a half interaction mode. I get to set the the. If you want to upgrade yourself, you better do it within these next two days. I might need to stream for quite a while in that mode.”
“I’ve decided to upgrade myself after today’s stream. It should take an estimated twelve hours and would not take up your ti for streaming tomorrow. As for the stream mode, have you decided on your the?”
Even though the System felt weird about its host’s sudden eagerness in streaming, it was programd to be happy about it. After all, a host and their System ca as a set––they succeed or failed together.
“I have a the. You can put up a preview title and let the viewers know.” Jiang Pengji’s smile could only be described as demonic. “The title will be, ‘The Art of Finishing Off ng Liang.’”
System: “...Har? Are you sure?”
“Just post the title and don’t ask so much. I know what to do and I won’t ss up the stream.”
Within a few monts, her viewers noticed a preview title rolling across the screen.
[Preview of the next stream––The Art of Finishing Off ng Liang. Please look forward to it!!!]
Eh!
In a split second, the screen was filled with comnts.
Chun Lie: “Can I know if the next stream is tomorrow? If yes, I’ll stay on the channel the whole day!”
Zhende Jiangshan Ruhua: “‘Finishing off?’ Soone’s gonna die. I pitied ng Liang for just a second.”
Koujiao Chifan: “I know killing is not right, but when I saw that preview, I was so excited.”
Tangchao Lizi: “Excited 1. But I want to know when the next stream is. It’ll be easier for to make plans to tune in.”
Even though the channel had been upgraded to hold ten thousand viewers, Jiang Pengji was so popular that, to tune into her stream, a viewer had to have the best internet connection and the fastest fingers to get in.
If they knew the timing for the next stream, her viewers could get in to watch.
Host V: “I don’t have the exact ti yet. You guys can follow my channel and be notified the mont I start the stream.”
When they received the reminder, many viewers quickly clicked “Follow.”
And just like that, Jiang Pengji’s channel received another few thousand followers.
System: “...”
Even though its host really hated streaming, she knew when to exploit opportunities.
Once Jiang Pengji was done with Xu Ke, she studied for a bit more before summoning the housekeeper. She asked about the whereabouts of ng Liang and his servant.
The housekeeper seed prepared and gave her all the details of their day.
He had been the Lius’ housekeeper for decades! Of course he was prepared to watch them like a hawk and make the necessary reports.
He knew about ng Liang’s situation, but as a servant, he could not say much.
Regardless of whose child ng Liang was, now that he was in the Liu residence, he should behave himself.
“Get soone to watch ng Liang. Report everything to ,” Jiang Pengji said. She paused for a mont before adding, “Also, when the other servants are washing their clothes or cleaning their rooms, make sure they’re observant. See if they have these herbs on them... Also, don’t let them near the kitchens.”
While speaking, Jiang Pengji removed the sachets she got from Yingchun Mansion. The old housekeeper was experienced and knowledgeable; he should know what the herbs were for.
“This?” The housekeeper looked at the obviously male sachets and could not help but think of the worst.
