Chapter 218: Chapter 217: Verbal Sparring

Xia Yue and the System’s Spiritual Cat were eating and chatting together.

Since there were no outsiders present, the two conversed openly.

"Host, you need to choose a location to install the Space-Time Gate that connects to the Ancient Martial universe. This will facilitate travel between the two." As it spoke, the System was boiling some meat in a pot.

"I have a question. The people from over there are powerful. What if they came over and caused trouble? Moreover, the vacation area is supposed to be open to ordinary people. What if they harm ordinary people?" Xia Yue had this concern from the start, but had not asked since it had not arisen. Now, with the establishment of the Space-Time Gate and dealings with other dimensions, she raised this issue.

"I didn’t expect you to consider such an important issue, host. That’s truly unusual. However, you don’t need to worry. There’s a Defense System in the vacation area so if they try to cause damage or harm someone, their actions will be neutralized. The system will also assess their danger level. The higher their level, the more severely they’ll be restrained to the point of becoming like ordinary people.

Moreover, without your permission, they cannot leave the vacation area, so you don’t need to worry about them taking over Blue Star or something."

"The meat is ready, serve it to me," the System called out to her after their conversation.

"Are you implying that I am stupid in your first sentence?" Xia Yue grumbled, angrily glaring at it.

"That’s your interpretation. Hurry up and get the meat, or it’ll be overcooked," the System replied without even looking at her, its eyes fixated on the pot.

"Humph, just because I don’t enjoy thinking doesn’t mean I’m stupid." Xia Yue retorted irritably but still fished out the meat, dipped it in sauce, and served it in their bowls.

The Spiritual Cat buried its head and started eating. After spending some time with her, it knew it was best to limit talking at this moment and just eat.

The System started eating too. It was only after it had finished eating that it looked up at Xia Yue and said,

"It’s because you are too lazy. If you displayed your intelligence a little more, I wouldn’t have said that."

The pair began to squabble, but it didn’t disrupt their eating.

After Xia Yue had her fill, there were still quite a few ingredients left. She cooked them for the others who could still eat.

Especially the system, although it ate a lot, the food disintegrated quickly inside it, so it never felt full. But similarly, it wasn’t a living organism, so it never felt hungry either.

After they finished eating, Xia Yue packed up everything onto a trolley, and together with the others, she wheeled it to the cafeteria, getting some exercise to aid digestion.

She handed the trolley over to the cafeteria staff and then started strolling around with the System’s Spiritual Cat, walking off her meal.

Whenever she felt tired, she sat down.

Then, she suddenly remembered that she hadn’t contacted her family for two months. She picked up her phone and first dialed Xia Yu’s number.

Xia Yu, still at the office, stopped whatever he was doing as soon as he saw it was Xia Yue calling and immediately accepted the call.

"Brother, I’m back," Xia Yue’s jubilant voice came through from the other end.

"Yueyue." Xia Yu responded.

"Brother, are you off work yet? Have you eaten?" Xia Yue asked cheerfully.

"Not yet. I’ve been busy. Where have you been? We couldn’t reach you at all. If we had not seen you occasionally on live streams, we would have called the police." Xia Yu’s voice carried an undertone of worry. If he had not seen her with Yan Mo on the live stream, he would have personally arranged a search party. He had made numerous calls and sent countless messages, all without a response.
