Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 1148: Chapter 829: Helping You Take Care of the Child

”The Contract Star Clan is the creator of the system. They are the world’s most calculating merchants, traversing all realms, measuring the value of goods, and facilitating equivalent exchange between sellers and buyers,” Shu Kui explained succinctly.

Shen Tang suddenly understood, this indeed seemed more like the meaning behind the system’s existence.

The system sounds like an advanced product from another dimension, but in essence, it’s just a platform for transactions.

She earns points from completing tasks, essentially the currency on the platform.

The system cannot produce goods out of thin air; it merely facilitates the sale of products between sellers and buyers.

[Yes, the system itself is a goods trading platform, connecting buyers and sellers from different realms! The information obtained by the host during mission strategies will be converted into equivalent currency for sale, and the items obtained by the host are also sold to the system by another seller.]

”Have you unbound yourself from the Main System? Can you still conduct goods sales?”

[Yes, host! All systems share a general goods warehouse, as well as transaction listings released by different realms. The system’s task is to integrate information and goods to publish tasks,] the system boasted, [Although I have freed myself from the control of the Main System, I can still access the general warehouse, so the host need not worry.]

Shen Tang nodded, asking Shu Kui, ”So there really is collusion between the Divine Hall and the Contract Star Clan? Is the mastermind behind the Divine Hall from the Contract Star Clan, are they the ones who created the Divine Hall?”

Shu Kui pondered, ”This I’m not sure about, the Contract Star Clan is a loyal merchant group who prioritizes profit and doesn’t involve themselves in the conflicts of races... However, the goals of the Divine Hall are too pronounced, not seeming like the style of the Contract Star Clan, but indeed there is deep collaboration between the two.”

He explained, ”The Divine Hall wants to infiltrate the ruling class of Eris Star and requires an absolutely loyal army for expansion. The system sells them gene pools and technology; in return, the Divine Hall sells advanced resources as a trade, achieving a stable cooperation.”

”So that’s how it is, which means, the Divine Hall and the Main System should just have a simple cooperative relationship,” Shen Tang nodded, ”Have you seen the highest ruler of the Divine Hall during your infiltration there?”

Shu Kui shook his head, ”No one knows who the founder of the Divine Hall is. Not only have I never seen them, but I’m afraid none of the other Holy Seats have either, as I mostly received tasks through other Holy Seats.”

He saw the female frowning, her gentle face showing a look of worry. Her slender and fair fingers moved slightly, unable to restrain himself from reaching up to gently smooth out her furrowed brows, comforting, ”Xiao Xi, don’t worry, it’s very safe here, no one will come after you again.”

”But Xiao Jin and the others are still over there, how can I live peacefully? No matter what, I have to bring them back safely,” Shen Tang’s eyes grew sadder, filled with deep self-blame.

Shu Kui also felt very apologetic, the situation had been too urgent at that time, and he couldn’t think much or take care of everyone, he could only get her out first.

He said in a low voice, ”I’m sorry, my abilities are limited, I couldn’t get them out.”

Shen Tang held his hand, raised her bright and pure dark eyes to look at him, sincerely saying, ”I don’t blame you, you’ve done a lot for me, I should be thanking you, Little Stone.”

The female’s palm was soft and warm, gently wrapping around the man’s slender hand, seeming to send clusters of fine currents into his body, causing it to stiffen momentarily... Shu Kui regained his composure, the corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile, also holding her hand in return, reassuring, ”Hmm, don’t worry, there will always be other ways, I will also help you.”

...

After Gong Ge finished his shift with the others, he stole some leisure time to visit the Yun Family, helping his sister take care of his little nephew.

The little wolf cub was once a plump little white ball, now his body had stretched out quite a bit, looking a size bigger than other wolf cubs his age, handsome and cute, quite embodying the style of the Snow Wolf Clan.

Gong Ge played with his nephew in the courtyard, hearing sounds outside the door, he turned to look, his face full of surprise, ”Your Ma... Your Majesty!”

He quickly stopped his motions, scooped up the little wolf cub darting around the courtyard into his arms, afraid it might crash into Your Majesty.

”Greetings, Your Majesty, haven’t seen Your Majesty in a long time.”

Gong Ge was both excited and apprehensive, rare for an adult male, his hands and feet didn’t know where to place themselves.

He heard that Your Majesty was injured internally back then, and had been recuperating in the palace, rarely coming out in the past year.

Yet he saw that Your Majesty looked even more radiant and noble, with an even more mature and dignified bearing than before, evoking both respect and awe, a kind of instinctive yearning to submit that came from the bloodline.
