rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 338 Looking more and more like a person

"The host can pay a certain fee!"

"The system will create items for the host that best fit this timeline based on the current timeline!"

".!"

The system was explained very clearly this time, and Chen Li naturally understood what the system meant.

To put it simply, some things in the system mall do not belong to the current timeline.

Things that will happen twenty years from now may not be able to carry the corresponding technology in 1999 with the current computer hardware and network.

This is actually quite normal. The system will definitely understand it as long as it is explained to Chen Li.

But the system played a trick!

The system may be worried that if Chen Li learns the truth, he will have little interest in these mall items, so he directly learns from those unscrupulous merchants.

Some important information was marked in an inconspicuous place in extremely small fonts, which created an illusion for Chen Li.

Chen Li thought that these things could be exchanged directly, as long as there were enough mall coins.

As long as Chen Li, the host, has this idea, Chen Li will subconsciously take these mall items into account when he considers things.

And the system even shook a little!

When Chen Li redeemed the Y2K patch before, this guy didn't remind him about it, but just let Chen Li redeem it successfully.

Now that I think about it, what the system gave him should actually be the "castrated version"!

The so-called castrated version is actually a "Y2K Ultimate Patch" that the system provides based on the development of computer hardware and the Internet in 1999 that is in line with the current level of development!

Chen Li also had a pretty good guess as to why the system didn't mention this matter.

Okay~ It’s actually not hard to guess, it’s just the fishing guy’s trick!

"The Ultimate Patch for the Y2K Bug" was the bait that was dropped in advance. Chen Li ate the bait, and Chen Li thought it was an advantage.

But if Chen Li still wants to eat it, he will have to pay some price!

But to be honest, although Chen Li felt that he had been cheated by the system, to be honest, it was just this matter, and Chen Li felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

After all, as the system said, some things are too advanced and are not suitable for today's era.

In his previous life, Chen Li had read some novels in which there were some future technologies. It was unreasonable for the protagonist to be able to use them directly after he was reborn into the present.

Because the two time-spaces are not horizontal at all due to age and technological reasons, whether it is the materials or technology required for manufacturing.

So as far as this matter is concerned, Chen Li actually thinks that the system charges are not unacceptable.

But what Chen Li couldn't accept was that the system asked him to "accept" it in this way!

To put it bluntly, he can accept the system's fees, but he does not accept the system's "games"!

This little trick itself won't fool anyone, but it will offend people.

So at this moment, Chen Li, who is in the system space, has a frighteningly dark face!

What's even more amazing is that the system's notification tone actually changed because I don't know if I noticed that Chen Li was angry.

"The system will create items for the host that best fit this timeline based on the current timeline!"

The system has actually said this once before.

But there is one difference. This time when the system repeated this sentence, it obviously paused and its tone became "weaker".

Systems are different from humans. You may say that this thing exists physically, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

But one thing can be confirmed, as long as Chen Li is in the system, the system can detect Chen Li's thoughts and even emotions.

In other words, after the system felt Chen Li's "anger", it actually changed into a humanoid!

This should be a reaction after the system AI upgrade. It was impossible for the previous system to have such a situation.

But this just shows one thing~that is, the system itself seems to think this is a bit unkind?

At this moment, Chen Li still maintained his anger.

"I do not need it anymore!"

"I will not exchange any items from your system mall in the future!"

"We have been reborn together for seven years!"

"For seven years, I thought we were friends and we were our own people!"

"But system, you seem to treat our relationship as a business!"

"Exchange things and ask for money!"

“Order something and ask for money!”

"Even for the technology I got from you, you still have to take a commission from the system!"

"OK~ It doesn't matter! There must be gains and losses. To get something, you must pay some price!"

"And you also said to the system that you obtained these mall currencies to speed up your upgrade!"

"As a friend, I have been working hard to help you "upgrade"!"

"Because I feel like I've gotten some benefits from you, so I also need to do something to help you as a friend!"

"So~ I gave up on the Internet, which is a better way to make money! I didn't even take advantage of the rebirth and went directly to find people to invest in reality."

"System, you should understand what I'm talking about! I think, if I find a Fortune 500 company that has not yet made a fortune to invest, the process will definitely be much more comfortable than what I am doing now!"

"But how do I do it? I tire myself out like a dog every day, running around here and there to develop my breeding industry. Why?"

"Isn't it just to help you upgrade as soon as possible?"

"Because I regard you as a friend~that's why I am willing to do this!"

"But what about you? System? What did you do to me?"

"Charge~charge~still charge!"

"And now you're even playing tricks on me?"

"Where did you learn these things? Huh?"

"You are cheating~! Do you understand?"

"Even if the system doesn't treat me as a friend, then you are still defrauding consumers, do you understand?"

"Do you know what happens to businesses that do this in reality?"

"Since you have learned these tricks, can you investigate the reviews of these merchants?"

"Look at those customers, after being deceived, will they scold the merchants who did this?"

"System! System!"

"I'm so disappointed in you!"

After saying this, Chen Li exited the system space with a "sad" look on his face, and then his whole person suddenly started to tremble.

Uh~ Don't get me wrong, it's not that the system did anything to him, it's that Chen Li almost couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Pfft~!"

In the end, Chen Li laughed.

But after just smiling for a moment, Chen Li quickly pinched himself twice and suppressed his smile again.

Although the system had told him before, it would not monitor Chen Li when the task was not triggered.

But what if?

He just attacked the system, what if this guy is monitoring him right now?

Yes~ Chen Li’s anger before was indeed fake!

To be precise, it can't be considered a pretense, it's just been magnified many times by him.

It's impossible for Chen Li not to be angry when the system does this, but if he's really angry to this extent, it's still not possible.

In fact, as he said, the system could provide him with some items that should not have appeared in this era. This was actually Chen Li taking a huge advantage.

Just like the "Y2K Ultimate Patch", Chen Li spent one million mall currency credits to redeem it, but the benefits that this thing has brought to Chen Li have far exceeded the price he paid.

21 million US dollars, this is only temporary! There may be more in the future!

And what did Chen Li pay? One million mall currency may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not as much as imagined.

Why is Chen Li so keen on opening branches? Because the more branches there are, the faster you can earn mall coins!

This is the most suitable and fastest method that Chen Li can currently find to earn money in the mall!

The benefits brought to Chen Li by the "Y2K Ultimate Patch" can be used to increase the speed of buying currency in the mall.

The growth rate of this mall's currency far exceeds the fees incurred by Chen Li for using the credit limit!

So this wave~Chen Li is equivalent to a wave of prostitution for nothing!

By the same token, if Chen Li wants to redeem other items from the system mall in the future, he will definitely choose items that can bring him enough benefits.

Then he will use these exchanged items to continue to accelerate the rate of earning mall currency.

The value of the benefits generated between them is actually unequal.

A "Y2K Ultimate Patch" can bring huge benefits to Chen Li, not to mention the 350 security suite he plans to redeem later.

Y2K patches are time-sensitive. However, a 350 security suite can directly support an enterprise.

Although 350 in the previous life was not a big company in the domestic Internet industry, especially compared with Alitengxun Qiandu, it was not even worth mentioning.

But no matter what, 350 was once a "big" company with a market value of hundreds of billions. Although it has shrunk a lot later, it is still a big company with a market value of close to 100 billion!

Now it is only 1999, and Chen Li is confident that after taking out the 350 safety suit, he will make Xiaoma Technology more powerful than the 350 in his previous life.

After all, the 350 in the previous life was only Zhou Hongyi, and the current 350 includes not only Zhou Hongyi, but also Ma Xiaoyun and Chen Li!

Of course~ Chen Li himself naturally does not dare to compare with previous business tycoons like Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi, but he has a system!

So~ actually the system said there would be a fee, but Chen Li didn't think the fee was difficult for him at all.

As long as the system doesn't mark the price too outrageously, Chen Li thinks he can accept it.

So here’s the question? Since Chen Li thinks this way, why does he still want to “defy” the system?

Could it be that he is angry because of embarrassment?

Hmm~ It’s true, but it’s not entirely true!

Chen Li was indeed a little annoyed by the system's behavior, but it was just a little bit.

As for the reason, are you kidding me? Who in China has never experienced this similar routine?

In his previous life, it was not like Chen Li had never been in shopping malls where the whole crowd was more or less "rising".

Therefore, Chen Li was indeed a little angry about the system's behavior. What he was angry about was that the system also played this trick.

But when it comes to "angry", it is definitely not the case.

It's just that this kind of behavior really made Chen Li a little dissatisfied!

The system is playing this kind of trick with him now. Who knows if the system will play something more cruel with him in the future?

So ~ this time Chen Li got "angry" directly!

Moreover, Chen Li’s anger is actually very particular!

If it were before, Chen Li would not have done such a thing at all, because it was unnecessary!

At that time, the system's AI level was limited, and it could barely do some Q&A and provide some help.

But today's system is obviously different. In Chen Li's opinion, today's system AI seems to be no different from a normal person.

Especially when the system repeated that sentence later, it was obviously with a sense of "caution" or "worry".

Obviously, the system sensed Chen Li's emotions, so there was such a change.

And it was precisely because of such changes that Chen Li discovered that the growth of the system's AI seemed to exceed his imagination.

This may not be a good thing, but it is more likely to be a good thing, so Chen Li decided to put his acting skills to use.

In fact, Chen Li's acting skills at that time were very poor. If it were in reality, just watch a few more soap operas and you could easily expose Chen Li.

But Chen Li is not an actor after all, so being able to do this is already pretty good.

Let the system decide the rest!

Chen Li tried his best to maintain his "angry" mood. He was waiting, but the waiting time seemed to be longer than he expected.

He originally thought that if the system was as he thought, it would react accordingly quickly.

After all, the system's computing speed must be faster than ordinary people, so Chen Li felt that he should soon face the "choice" of the system!

But time passed by, and until about ten minutes passed, Chen Li still didn't receive any information from the system.

This made Chen Li have to wonder if his acting skills were so poor that the system could see through something.

Or maybe the system's AI level is not as high as you imagined, so it can't respond to your performance just now?

And just when Chen Xiang was thinking about entering the system to take a look, a pop-up window suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Mission: My friend's apology!"

"Task description: Accept the apology from your friend!"

"Task reward: five lottery opportunities, credit level promotion!"

"Do you want to receive it?"

"Um?"

When this task flashed in his mind, Chen Li subconsciously wanted to accept it.

After all, Chen Li has almost developed a habit of taking on tasks.

Nowadays, Chen Li actually doesn't care about the cash rewards for daily tasks, but Chen Li doesn't mind doing some simple and not troublesome tasks.

Although his "anger" just now was pretended, some of his words were indeed true.

For example, Chen Li really wants to upgrade the system as soon as possible.

Because every time the system is upgraded, new content will appear. Chen Li is looking forward to what changes the system will see next time!

But this task made Chen Li a little confused!

Because if this task is connected with his previous "anger", then it confirms that Chen Li's previous thoughts may be true.

This system is becoming more and more like a person!
