Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 326 - 318: Scene Recreation 2

Cheng Dawei held the flashlight for her, referring to the blueprints while communicating with the system about where to place the drainage pipes and where to install the electrical lines, explaining each part to the others in the process.

After she was done, the group dispersed, leaving just Zhou Yanlan, who had come down to visit. With a proud smile, she said, "Right where we’re standing now, we’re planning to build a school, with a cafeteria and supermarket next to it. These will all be part of the common area."

Then she pointed to the long corridor ahead, "That area is the residential zone, which will accommodate over ten thousand people once completed."

Someone was enthusiastically introducing her labor achievements, filled with a sense of accomplishment.

The subtext: Look how capable I am, come on, praise me, don’t be stingy...

But the other person completely missed the point.

"In just a few days, you managed to carve out such a huge cave?"

She was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Don’t we have strength in numbers? Naturally, things get done faster."

Zhou Yanlan placed his hand on the central support pillar, exerting some force, but it didn’t budge. It wasn’t until he increased to five layers of strength that a piece flaked off. He assessed that the rock here was densely compacted, indeed formed over long years, naturally, with an extraordinary strength.

"This location is over a hundred meters below the surface."

She retorted silently... cursing: You’re destroying public property, you ought to compensate.

But what she actually said was, "If we don’t dig deep enough, what if it collapses?"

She couldn’t speak the truth, so she had to be vague, secretly lamenting how sharp this person was.

You’re supposed to be a visitor, not the quality inspection department, why the interrogation?

"Why don’t I see the workers?"

Zhou Yanlan turned his head, directly meeting the girl’s innocently blinking eyes, trying to gloss over.

"Hmm?"

Her patience was running out, she was close to breaking character.

Through gritted teeth, she said, "They’ve been too tired these days, so they have half a day off."

Of course, it’s because you came that the work stopped. Did you expect them to let an outsider, on top of being a martial arts expert, discover that I have a system hack for cutting through rock like butter?

Everyone has secrets. Why dig so deep?

This is a basic principle of life. Is the other person really this smart?

Is this an obvious question?

Zhou Yanlan thought: Such a flimsy excuse the little girl came up with, there must be some secret she doesn’t want him to know!

However, the more someone tries to hide, the more curious others become!

Especially seeing the other looking like a little wild cat ready to explode, his interest only increased.

"Isn’t it a shortage of manpower, we need to hurry..."

The teasing words were yet to be finished.

Someone’s calculating smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, making Zhou Yanlan choke on his unfinished words.

As expected...

Only to hear her joking tone rise, "Mr. Zhou, in this dim light, I somehow feel you have a filter that makes you look extra handsome, making me want to..."

Zhou Yanlan stepped back, Cheng Xiaoxiao stepped forward.

The stance was as roguish as it could get, like a rogue woman taking advantage,

Even the battle-hardened Eldest Prince Zhou, who usually remained unfazed in face of chaos and death, now felt inexplicably guilty.

"I want to know... about such a handsome person..."

Someone said, with her eyes lowering...

Unabashedly glancing at a certain spot, "I heard that besides face and palm reading, the color of one’s underpants could also reflect one’s personality." As she spoke, suddenly getting a bit closer, "Why don’t you tell me, Mr. Zhou, what color is your under..."

A cold breeze swept by, and the blushing Mr. Zhou had already vanished.

"...pants."

This person?

She hadn’t even finished her sentence before he slipped away.

Someone snorted, raised an eyebrow, and scraped her nose, huh!

That’s what you get for prying, for having bad intentions, for playing dumb, for understanding the concept of privacy rights.

Above ground, Zhou Yanlan was panting heavily.

It took a while for the heat from his blushing ears to subside.

That girl, is she even womanly, daring to say anything that comes to mind.

Scene Three:

In the midst of heavy snowfall, two elongated silhouettes stood proudly atop the snow-capped mountains.

"I’m ready!"

Suddenly, one of the elongated figures stepped down from a protruding rock, instantly becoming much shorter than the figure beside it.

Someone sneaked a glance at the shadow, then pursed her lips, thinking God has blessed this person too much.

More beautiful than Pan An, broad shoulders and a slim waist, tall and upright, skilled martial artist, and a prestigious family background, all these innate advantages made others feel insignificant.

"Hmm!"

"Ready~~!" She retracted her envious and jealous thoughts.

Focusing on the race ahead.

"Go!" With the high-pitched shout, the two shadows shot out like arrows from a bow, one of them swooped down, leaving a residual image.

The mountain was covered in white, a scene enshrouded in silvery mystery, as someone pushed off with force, her body like an unbridled steed, madly speeding downhill.

The wind howled in her ears, the beautiful six-sided crystals striking her goggles and disappearing, amidst an exhilarating rush taking in the boundless mountain view.

Suddenly, a figure flashed past at an unbelievable speed, startling her. She could only manage to mutter, oh, damn!

And then sped up in pursuit, unwilling to let someone overtake her and embarrass herself.

She crouched and flew down, finally catching up, and before she could even boast, heard the other chuckle coldly and speed off again.

Is this even human?

Only half a month of learning, damn, where did this genius pop out from?

Oh, Buddha, where are you, come and collect this one~~!

It proves that some people are simply favored by destiny, no matter how hard others strive they remain supporting actors.

No way, there are so many fans down the mountain, if she loses like this, how can she face them?

Her familiar mischievous smile reappeared on her lips, unfortunately, the person in front didn’t notice.

"77, there’s an L-shaped swivel under the skis, try installing a clip to block it."

"Host, you’re asking me to cheat." The system looked constipated.

"What cheating, if he’s running so fast with such long strides, he might be using some skill or secret technique."

Humph! She definitely wouldn’t admit he skied better than her.

How embarrassing for someone who crossed dimensions, losing to an ancient person.

"But..."

"Don’t hesitate anymore, almost at the finish line, I’d be humiliated and you’d lose face, we’re a team, hurry hurry hurry, no time left."

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t give the system a chance to think, and before it realized, it had already executed the command.

Suddenly, the person in front sensed something wrong underfoot. If not for exceptional Qinggong and deep Inner Strength, they would have face-planted.

In that brief delay, she blurred through with gleaming eyes and a smirk, spun beautifully over the peak, landing in front of the cheering crowd.

Amidst thunderous applause and cheers, answering one after another.

"The captain won, the captain won, the captain is the best."

"Ahhhh!"

Seeing only one person dashed to the finish, everyone unanimously agreed, it must be Cheng Xiaoxiao who won the race.

But little did they expect, joy followed by sorrow.
