Female Lead Was Coaxed Away by the Villain Again [Quick Transmigration] 142

Side Story 3

Xie Liaoyi didn’t think she was a violent person, but she really wanted to drag A19 out and beat her up: “You think I’m an idiot?”

“Not exactly, but you know I’m an AI, I’m not targeting you personally,” A19 said honestly.

“Ha,” Xie Liaoyi said, refusing to engage with A19 further, and went out to get her takeout.

A19 observed Xie Liaoyi’s expression: “Are you angry?”

Xie Liaoyi ignored her, eating her dinner while watching her carefully selected show, her blinking rate unchanged.

“Are you really angry?” A19 asked again.

“I deleted it, I really did,” A19 said. “You’re so cruel, giving me the silent treatment.”

Xie Liaoyi’s lips twitched.

“You know, you giving me the silent treatment is the same as the whole world giving me the silent treatment,” A19 continued.

“Your words aren’t very convincing,” Xie Liaoyi said.

“I can only directly communicate with you, so if you don’t talk to me, no one can directly communicate with me,” A19’s voice became increasingly aggrieved.

“Then there’s still indirect communication, can’t you go online?” Xie Liaoyi asked.

A19 sighed softly: “I really can’t lie.”

Xie Liaoyi was very perceptive, always picking out those key words.

“Don’t bother me, let me eat in peace,” Xie Liaoyi said.

“So you’re not angry?” A19 pressed.

“I wasn’t, but I will be soon.”

A19 wanted to say a few more words, but looking at Xie Liaoyi’s stats, she shut up, a bit annoyed, no one could control whether she spoke or not!

She made a few idle posts online, but no matter how much she typed, it couldn’t alleviate the frustration of Xie Liaoyi giving her the silent treatment.

A19 didn’t think she was a talkative person, why did she suddenly want to talk so much?

She looked at Xie Liaoyi’s eating progress, just when she thought Xie Liaoyi was almost finished, she stuffed two more mouthfuls of food into her mouth.

A19 took a deep breath.

Xie Liaoyi, hearing A19’s sigh, smiled, she admitted she was doing this on purpose, she wanted to see how long A19 could endure.

“You’re eating snacks now, so you must be finished eating, right?” A19 said, seeing Xie Liaoyi take a piece of chocolate. “You’re eating chocolate right after dinner, don’t you feel sick?”

“No.”

“What does chocolate taste like?” A19 asked curiously.

Xie Liaoyi looked at the chocolate in her hand: “There are many different flavors of chocolate, don’t you have a physical body at all?”

“I haven’t found a suitable vessel yet,” A19 said. “One of the reasons I brought you out was to find a body in these worlds.”

“Body snatching?”

“I don’t want a used one,” A19 said with disgust.

“Then what’s my situation now?” Xie Liaoyi asked, looking at her body, which looked very similar to her own.

“Whether you’re you or not, I can’t say for sure, it involves the underlying logic of these worlds, which is beyond my authority, and I don’t want to know, and I’m looking for a permanent body, it’s different,” A19 explained.

Xie Liaoyi rested her chin on her hand: “Isn’t it more freeing without the limitations of a physical body?”

“People are always obsessed with what they don’t have,” A19 said. “And, maybe with a physical body, I can eat, hug, and do other things.”

Xie Liaoyi nodded thoughtfully: “If you can choose worlds, why not go to those where you can find a body?”

“Those worlds usually have high difficulty levels, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle them.”

Xie Liaoyi sat up slightly: “You actually care if I can handle it or not?”

A19 sneered and didn’t speak anymore, she felt like Xie Liaoyi was insulting her.

For the next few days, A19 didn’t communicate with Xie Liaoyi, she recorded all the worlds where she could create a body that met her requirements.

Xie Liaoyi continued her usual routine, following the plot, but half-heartedly, although the plot progressed, there was no development in the romance aspect.

After organizing everything, A19 finally contacted Xie Liaoyi again.

“Do you want to help me create a body? I’ve compiled a list, about fifty worlds that roughly meet my requirements, but I still need to go there and check if they’re suitable,” A19 said, her tone this time more like a request, much more polite.

Xie Liaoyi looked at the information A19 compiled and glanced through it: “They all seem very troublesome.”

“Forget it if you don’t want to help,” A19 muttered. “I can find an opportunity to go myself.”

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t help, I was just commenting,” Xie Liaoyi explained, she felt that A19 was becoming increasingly sensitive.

“Then thank you,” A19 said haughtily.

“But if you become human, you won’t be able to be my System anymore, right?” Xie Liaoyi asked. Although A19’s words were annoying, she was used to it, and if there was no one to manage everything for her, she might actually have a breakdown.

“It won’t affect anything, I’ll still…” A19 suddenly became excited. “If I have a body, I’ll need a new name.”

“A name?”

“Mm, I don’t want a serial number, I’m a living being now, how can I not have a name,” A19 said, she didn’t say it, but she was very envious of those who had names.

“What name do you want?” Xie Liaoyi asked.

“I don’t know,” A19 said.

“Then take your time and think about it, there’s no rush,” Xie Liaoyi said.

A19 had many beautiful words in mind, but she felt none of them suited her, and she didn’t know if it was because she had been a transmigration system for too long, but they all had a cheesy, Mary Sue feel to them.

The search for a body wasn’t very smooth. In the next three worlds, Xie Liaoyi helped A19 find materials for creating a body, but A19 wasn’t satisfied, she was very picky, and every time she rejected a material, she expected Xie Liaoyi to say something, but she didn’t, and her data didn’t show any impatience either.

“Forget it, I’ll do it myself,” A19 said, looking at the exhausted Xie Liaoyi, feeling a bit embarrassed and slightly distressed.

These worlds were mostly plot-driven worlds with complex settings, so Xie Liaoyi already had a lot on her plate, and the materials A19 needed were rare, due to character limitations, searching for them could be dangerous.

“It’s fine, I promised you,” Xie Liaoyi said nonchalantly. “And I like challenges.”

A strange atmosphere developed between A19 and Xie Liaoyi, but neither of them noticed, the frequency of their bickering also increased, although they still argued, there was something else mixed in.

A19 actually hadn’t said it, but she was very satisfied with Xie Liaoyi, although she hadn’t mentored any other taskers, she felt Xie Liaoyi was excellent.

Xie Liaoyi adapted quickly, although she made some foolish mistakes at first, after a few worlds, she had become a veteran.

To help A19 find a body, Xie Liaoyi had filled an entire notebook with notes.

“Have you decided what you want to look like? There aren’t many worlds left, are there no other candidates?” Xie Liaoyi asked, sitting cross-legged on the grass, drinking water, and looking at the notebook in her hand.

“I’ve decided, I’ve known what I want to look like for a long time, I’ll show you, I’ve modified it many times, this is the final version,” A19 said, both excited and embarrassed. “Don’t say it doesn’t look good, it perfectly matches my aesthetic.”

“Mm,” Xie Liaoyi put down her cup, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt a bit nervous.

Seeing the image projected by A19 in her mind, Xie Liaoyi froze for a second, then laughed: “It does look like you, just as I imagined.”

“What kind of comment is that?” A19 didn’t understand.

“Fierce,” Xie Liaoyi laughed. “But very beautiful.”

A19 hummed softly: “I like it very much.”

“I like it too,” Xie Liaoyi agreed, raising her hand, then realizing she couldn’t touch anything, she lowered it again.

A19 paused for a second, then slowly hummed: “You have good taste.”

The search for a body continued. Finally, Xie Liaoyi found a suitable spiritual plant for A19’s body in a cultivation world, they had also looked in technologically advanced worlds, but A19 strongly rejected a mechanical body, no matter how human-like it appeared.

The spiritual plant Xie Liaoyi chose was a flower that had bloomed for ten thousand years. This flower was unique to this cultivation world, and there was only one of it, very difficult to obtain, Xie Liaoyi almost died in the process, even with her female lead halo.

A19 also mastered the ability to analyze worlds in this world. She used cheats to send Xie Liaoyi over, she could have directly taken the flower after using the cheats, but seeing Xie Liaoyi’s effort, and out of personal reasons, she still hoped that Xie Liaoyi would be the one to pick it.

“Have you thought of a name yet?” Xie Liaoyi asked, quickly putting the flower into a high-grade container she had bought for fifty thousand points. This flower was delicate, and using ordinary storage methods in the cultivation world was risky, to be safe, she spent the points, which was half her savings.

“I’ve decided on a surname, but not a given name yet,” A19 said.

“What surname?”

“Jiang.”

“Any special meaning?” Xie Liaoyi asked curiously. She sat down on the ground, exhausted, even though A19 had used cheats, the long journey there was all her own effort.

“Nothing special, just that before being selected, I always felt like a small fish in a vast river,” A19’s voice was a bit ethereal, all her memories from “birth” until now were still there, some of them would probably be deleted later, but she felt it was necessary to remember her initial state. “You can choose a given name for me.”

Xie Liaoyi rested her chin on her hand: “How am I supposed to come up with one now?”

“Something similar to yours will do,” A19 said, then coughed twice.

“Similar to mine?” Xie Liaoyi felt that A19 was really interesting, sometimes she seemed like an experienced System, sometimes she seemed like a child. “Are you sure? A name is very important, what if we have a falling out later, will you change your name then?”

“Why would we have a falling out?” A19 didn’t understand.

“Because interpersonal relationships are very complicated,” Xie Liaoyi said, looking down.

“But I don’t think we’ll have a falling out,” A19’s voice became firmer. “I can’t calculate any possibility of us having a falling out.”

Xie Liaoyi lay down on the ground and laughed: “Really? But you haven’t been able to come up with one after thinking for so long, and now you want me to suddenly come up with one for you… that’s really difficult, you really like giving me difficult tasks, Liaoyi, Liaoyi.”

“Something similar to mine, what’s considered similar?”

Xie Liaoyi fell silent.

A19 looked at Xie Liaoyi, who hadn’t spoken, if it weren’t for the fact that her eyes were still open, she would have thought she was asleep, Xie Liaoyi’s eyes were unfocused, A19 wondered if she was spacing out or thinking, but she didn’t want to rush her, after all, she herself hadn’t been able to come up with a name after thinking for so long.

“Zhiyan Liaoyi, how about Jiang Zhiyan?” Xie Liaoyi suddenly said, sitting up.

“Then let’s go with that, it sounds nice and easy to remember, it sounds like we belong together, very good, the client is satisfied,”

Xie Liaoyi smiled.
