Chapter 545, Part 1: He chose you from the very beginning.
[It wasn't that I chose you, but that I was asked to choose you.]
The system's voice was calm and indifferent, because it was simply stating a fact.
Lin Xiyue was stunned. The system's words echoed in her mind, especially those two words—"requirements".
"……Require……?"
She repeated it hesitantly.
The word made her uneasy, as if it concealed some secret she didn't know.
[Yes. ]
The system answered without hesitation.
Its tone remained completely unchanged, as if stating an obvious fact.
"Was it... that Amo requested...?"
Lin Xiyue's heart started racing involuntarily. She took a deep breath and mustered her courage to ask.
Her voice trembled slightly because this guess meant a lot to her.
[Of course. He chose you from the start.]
The system's response reaffirmed her idea.
Hearing the system's reply was like a heavy blow to Lin Xiyue's heart, and her face instantly turned pale.
Her body trembled violently, and she instinctively took a step back.
However, she lost her balance and stumbled after bumping into the chair behind her, falling unsteadily onto it.
This sudden turn of events caught Lin Xiyue off guard, and her original thoughts were completely disrupted.
Because of the system's answer, all the other questions she had asked before became meaningless.
After all, the system found her at Meros's request, so it's obvious why she was chosen—Meros asked the system to find him and then bind to him.
A complex mix of emotions welled up in Lin Xiyue's heart, including surprise, doubt, and a hint of inexplicable unease.
She couldn't help but re-examine her relationship with Meros, and the true purpose behind this mysterious system—what was it all for?
After a moment of silence, Lin Xiyue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Then why didn't you bind yourself to Amo back then? Instead, you listened to him and bound yourself to me? Amo didn't even know me back then, right?"
She decided to focus on the problem at hand, so she asked.
This question had been lingering in Lin Xiyue's mind for a long time, and she was eager to know the answer.
However, the system's response left her somewhat disappointed.
[I've been instructed not to tell you these things; you'd better ask Boss Mo yourself.]
The system's voice came through, carrying a slightly troubled tone.
"Tsk, where did you learn this habit of leaving people in suspense and only saying half of what you mean?"
Lin Xiyue pouted, looking speechless and helpless.
[There's nothing I can do; I can't go against Boss Mo. So, how about you give me back what's missing?]
Seeing this, the system sighed helplessly and then spread its hands.
The system's tone carried a hint of anticipation as it said this.
"Tsk, just wait for Amo to wake up and then take your missing part. Anyway, you and I both have to wait."
However, Lin Xiyue remained unmoved. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and responded with a half-smile.
After saying that, she playfully winked at the system.
"Hey! Hey! You're using this to settle personal scores!!"
Upon hearing this, the system immediately became anxious, its voice changing from somewhat calm to excited as it shouted.
The voice sounded extremely aggrieved, as if it had been subjected to a tremendous injustice.
Lin Xiyue didn't care about any of that. Her smile grew wider and wider, and then she suddenly stood on tiptoe and quickly closed the box she had opened.
With a "bang," the sound of the box being closed was particularly crisp in the room.
[[○?｀Д′? ○] How could you do this! This is too much!]
Seeing this, the system became even more upset and started shouting loudly.
"Hmph~~ That's just how I am, go ahead and hit me if you dare!"
Lin Xiyue, however, didn't seem to care. She put her hands on her hips and said smugly.
At this moment, after confirming that all of this was at the request of Moros, Lin Xiyue felt much more relaxed and even had the mood to joke with the system.
This situation is actually easy to understand, after all, Lin Xiyue has unwavering trust in Moros.
She firmly believed that Meros would never harm her, so since it was all decided by Meros, it meant that it must be safe.
"Ahem, let's not talk about that now."
Lin Xiyue spoke somewhat shyly.
"That machine seems to be working now, I'll go take a look."
A blush crept onto her face, as if she were a little embarrassed by the previous topic, so she quickly changed the subject.
The main issue is that despite all the explanations the system had given her, it still only wanted to reclaim the part it was missing.
However, she hasn't even fulfilled this small request of hers, which is a bit unreasonable no matter what.
[Let's hesitate. Well then, let's finish what Boss Mo asked us to do first.]
Although the system was somewhat helpless, it could only go along with what Lin Xiyue said.
Lin Xiyue immediately stood up from her chair and walked towards the egg-shaped instrument that had stopped working.
"Hmm... how do I open this?"
Lin Xiyue stood in front of the instrument, her brows furrowed, staring at it with a confused look in her eyes, and subconsciously asked a question.
Her gaze lingered on the surface of the instrument, trying to find some clues or buttons, but to no avail.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she subconsciously stretched out her right hand and reached directly towards the instrument.
Just as her hand was about to touch the instrument, there was a soft "click," and the instrument turned on automatically.
This sudden turn of events caught Lin Xiyue off guard. She stared in astonishment at the instruments in front of her, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
As the instrument was turned on, a white gas gushed out from it like a spring.
This gas looks a lot like dry ice, and it's the kind of gas that forms.
It flowed downwards like water, quickly spreading out to form a thin layer of mist that enveloped the entire instrument.
As the mist slowly dissipated, the instruments that had been hidden inside finally revealed themselves, allowing Lin Xiyue and the system to clearly see what was inside.
Previously, Meros placed the item in the lower half of this egg-shaped device, but now that item has appeared in the upper half.
Upon closer inspection, one can discover that once the upper part is opened, there is a container resembling a glass, filled with a dazzling liquid.
