Chapter 479: Negotiating With My Stingy System
I wasn't stressed or worried, as I patiently waited for him to answer. The giant kept moving back towards my village at high speed, while he crossed the mountainous ground like he was flying over them.
"Ding Dong! I'll consider it," the system finally spoke up.
"Then I'll complain now," I raised my head to the blue sky before adding, "it's said that god always exists in the heavens, and so I will direct my complaint there."
"Ding Dong! Wait!" the system hurriedly shouted, "Ding Dong! We can talk."
"Either you grant me what I deserve, and with a compensation, or I'll head directly to your god and make him or her see about you."
I kept my head raised and my eyes focused on nothing but the clear sky up above.
"My dear world's will…" I didn't wait for him to shamelessly come up with anything as I said in a loud and clear tone.
"Ding Dong! Alright, I yield," he said, "I'll grant your wishes for you."
"I only want what is rightfully mine," I didn't lower my hands that were raised towards the sky, "what will I get then? I heard you were quite generous lately and gave anyone with a system many quests."
"Ding Dong! I'll calculate the quests and return to you," he said and I only sneered.
"See that tiny little black dot that represents my city over there?" I pointed towards the very far city of mine, "if you didn't come back to me with the answer I want then I won't listen to any of your pleading and will stand there and complain to the world's will."
"Ding Dong! Make your giant slow down a bit!"
"My dear friend," I patted over the body of my giant, "please go as fast as you can."
"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"
"Hahaha, if I were you I wouldn't stay here wasting my ding dongs over me. Go, work hard, you have limited time… tick tock… tick tock…"
"…"
This time the system didn't speak and bitterly remained silent it seemed. "I'm just a foolish girl," I couldn't help but shake my head, while blaming myself, "I should have connected the dots much earlier. But I didn't lose it big, I would gain everything that I missed and with bonuses as well."
I watched the city while sitting leisurely on the shoulder of my giant. To make things worse for my dear and beloved system I took out my mecha and started to touch it.
"Hurry up my beloved kind hearted system, or else my patience might run thin and will drive this mecha and reach the city in less than a minute."
"Ding Dong! I'm almost finished," he said and I cracked a wide smile while patting on my mecha. "What a shame, I would have rode it and went to the city faster."
I didn't take my mecha back while leaving it to rest over the shoulder of my giant. The giant's shoulder was so broad that it could host a small brigade of mechas without any problem.
"Tick tock… Tick tock…" I didn't let him have his time with ease while playing with these words. I was pretty much sure he was annoyed to be cornered like a trapped beast, but I wouldn't go any easy on him.
After all, he wasn't going easy on me.
"Ding Dong! You know I can complain to the world's will about your deeds," he suddenly said, and his words invoked my sweet laughs.
"Then you should go," I said amidst my laughs, "and we can see if the world's will would stand with you or me."
"Ding Dong! You don't seem afraid."
"Believe me if I say you are the source of my reassurance on this," I evilly smiled before adding, "if this way was guaranteed to stop me, then you wouldn't have taken all such trouble and went directly to the world's will."
He didn't answer and I laughed. "Tick tock… Tick tock… the city is drawing close… Tick tock… Tick tock… the city is so near."
I started singing and laughing while he kept his silence. The giant was getting closer to the city with each passing minute, and I assumed there was no more than five minutes before we would arrive there.
Throughout the way there, and while the system kept his silence thinking about what to do, I spotted the valley where I initially thought about turning it into a fertilized land.
And now with all those deadly insects next to this place it was so dangerous to proceed in such a plan. "Meck has to find another place to grow," I deeply muttered while thinking about that valley in a different light.
"I can use that," I turned around and the shape and size of that basin just gave me a brilliant idea. "For later then," I didn't think deeply about it because it would require first for me to find a good source of oil.
And something told me this wouldn't be an easy mission at all.
"We are there," I said while there was less than one minute to reach the city, "speak now or face your fate my darling."
"Ding Dong! I've finished," he lied as I was totally positive this wouldn't require all this time. I doubt it even needed any time at all.
"Then say," I calmly said while folding my arms, "you have less than a minute."
"Ding Dong! You missed around twenty quests so far and so I'll give you their rewards in addition to ten more."contemporary romance
"Hmm… What are the rewards?" I asked.
"Ding Dong! Your precious pearls of course."
"And?"
"Ding Dong! These are pearls… what else do you want?"
"I don't like that," I firmly shook my head, "Lisely alone completed fifty quests so far or even more."
"Ding Dong! She is a special case! She got your help to complete that. I just took the median of those with systems and gave you fifty percent pay off as redemption."
I wasn't fazed by his high voice or the innocent tone of his voice. "Listen, I don't care about losers… I'm a winner and I could only be compared to the best and also would gain extras based on my abilities and achievements," I said before adding while letting my giant take me down to the front gate of the city:
"So I'll need fifty quests to be handed directly over to me with their rewards in addition to another fifty as redemption."
