After persuading Jiang Yufeng to stay, he only let me accompany him to the seaside.

Looking at his lonely figure leaving, I shouted, "Jiang Yufeng, cheer up! It's not like we're parting forever. You can still contact me with your tablet!

Just like before, say 'Princess, please reply,' and I will definitely see it."

Jiang Yufeng didn't turn around. He just stood there and nodded heavily.

Finally, he chose to return to the Duji Base, saying that it was the place with the most memories for him and me.

We stayed in touch through the system, sharing our daily lives with each other.

System: 6.

Actually, life in the sea isn't that dangerous. There's just a bit more garbage, and work is a bit busier.

I have the system's buffs, so I won't drown in the sea, and the mutant fish won't bother me.

After I disappeared for a long time, Zhou Yue planned to try her old tricks again, and this time she set her sights on Jiang Yufeng.

She didn't know about our communication through the system.

So I looked at her character, dressed in a very cute nightgown, and knocked on Jiang Yufeng's door.

Jiang Yufeng opened the door a crack but was scared and quickly closed it.

In my base, Zhou Yue was as powerless as an ordinary person. She could only endure silently.

"General, I thought you liked the stepmother type. Actually, I really like children, especially ones as big as you."

Jiang Yufeng quickly retorted from behind the door, "I don't like this type."

"Nonsense, you used to talk about beautiful and seductive stepmothers every day."

Me: ...

Wow, what's this? A bullet from my youth, hitting right between the eyes after all these years???

Then wouldn't I have been shot full of holes a long time ago?

Jiang Yufeng said, "I like that one, not this one."

Zhou Yue said, "This one, that one, aren't they the same?"

Zhou Yue got shut down by Jiang Yufeng and was punished with two days of solitary confinement, reaching the peak of her hatred for him.

Jiang Yufeng quickly reported to me, "I didn't see anything just now, and I don't like her."

Like a dog seeking credit.

"I know."

Our relationship was only one step away from breaking through. I took the initiative to reject Jiang Yufeng's probing. After all, we still had more challenging tasks ahead of us.

Jiang Yufeng understood and only rejected Zhou Yue's shortcut, not stopping her ambition.

Several experimental samples of ability-enhancing potions were sent to other bases. The person who delivered the potions was an impulsive youngster who couldn't resist Zhou Yue's temptation and used an ability to sneakily give her a potion.

By the time I discovered it, Zhou Yue was already preparing to inject it.

"Zhou Yue, listen to me. There's a 70% chance the potion will kill you. Don't inject it."

I tried my best to dissuade her, and Jiang Yufeng and Liu Xi rushed over as well.

Zhou Yue laughed maniacally and injected the potion into her body, saying, "I know you're just afraid of my ability surpassing yours and taking your place..."

Before she finished speaking, her body began convulsing. In just a few seconds, she fell to the ground and died.

Liu Xi spit out disdainfully and grumbled as she collected the body, "Even the beautiful and seductive stepmother at eighteen advised her, but she insisted on seeking death. She deserved it."

Just as I was lamenting this, a chill ran down my spine.

The next second, the system exclaimed, "Didn't I advise you not to choose that ID? Did you listen? No!"

The system's resentment soared to the heavens.
