I'm living off a woman in Arknights.

"Could it be that you're trying to whet my appetite all at once, making me unable to live without you?"

"Hey! Don't suddenly say weird things."

Swire rolled her eyes at her and said, "There was just a slight accident, I just need some points."

In the contract they signed, if points are earned through gift-giving, the points in the Swire system will increase proportionally.

These points cannot be exchanged for any physical goods.

However, it can be exchanged for the right to redeem a certain item in the mall (provided that Yun Yi allows it), and then the holder can use their own capital, such as real money or source stones, to redeem the desired item.

It's about the exchange rate...

Yun Yi's gaze shifted, almost exaggeratedly.

医山〕貳倭ji卄uII裙。 聊〣?But you can't blame her.

It's normal for things from the system to be very expensive in the secular world. The system originally stipulated that they would be even more expensive, but she has already reduced the proportion to the lowest possible level.

Thinking about it this way, Yun Yi's already little bit of guilt instantly vanished.

She shifted her gaze back and continued the conversation, "Which product's redemption rights do you want?"

"Let me see if it works."

Although Yunyi himself can perfectly match all the redeemable items in the store, that does not mean that Swire can.

Just in case, she still needed to confirm it first.

"Hmm..." You actually asked!

Swire avoided eye contact and suddenly started rambling on and on: "This was your own decision, not my fault."

"I only told you because you asked."

"Well, anyway, you told me to say it, and I really did?"

"Don't worry."

Yun Yi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this hesitant and evasive manner was an attempt to distance himself from the situation.

The other party wouldn't urgently need *that kind of* thing, would they?

“I’m going to say it—” Swire closed her eyes for only a moment before opening them, her face flushed, her eyes glistening with a watery sheen like a rippling green lake: “You, you should see for yourself!”

"See for yourself?"

Yun Yi raised an eyebrow and obediently brought up the system panel, but the relevant information database was empty: "I don't have your application here."

Swire then realized that the chaotic communication she had just experienced had been conducted entirely using her own subsystem logs.

Under normal circumstances, Yunyi cannot see the subsystem logs.

"You can now view the subsystem logs; all the details are there."

Swire silently unlocked the subsystem log, then looked up and gestured for Yunyi to take a look.

After giving the signal, Swire, feeling utterly exhausted, opened the booklet on the table and set all three to the point where she only needed to sign them, not wanting to know Yun Yi's reaction at all.

Yun Yi, who was reading more slowly, barely saw the point where the system began to intervene when Shi Huaiya finished organizing the booklet.

At this moment, she has only one thought:

"Thanks a lot."

An untouchable entity hovered overhead, suddenly informing her that it had detected her hostility and foreshadowing the fate of an even higher-level being. If the system hadn't intervened early, it would have been truly terrifying.

"The subsystem really can't talk, but that makes sense, since it's a relatively rigid program."

Yun Yi had already seen the customer service tune that looked exactly like the subsystem's and almost burst out laughing: "Where did this subsystem load its program from?"

It looks like a human-machine interface—and it really is a human-machine interface.

"I also want to know!"

Swire couldn't help but chime in, then drooped its tail in frustration: "How can you be so calm? This is your privacy! Aren't you going to say anything?"

"say what?"

Yunyi felt there was nothing to say.

Gains and losses go hand in hand. Although she hadn't expected the system to have this hidden function, she was already prepared to lose something.

Therefore, Yun Yi comforted him instead:

"Don't worry, these are just the price I paid for gaining power, you don't need to mind them."

Wanting only the benefits without wanting to make any sacrifices?

Want to eat fart.

It's not that easy to have both.

She's already doing quite well by only needing to expose some of her privacy.

Moreover, she could choose who she exposed herself to; it would be truly disgusting if she couldn't.

After thinking it over, Yun Yi actually felt somewhat pleased.

She scrolled through the panel, casually glancing at the rest, her emotions visibly stable.

"You are really calm."

That makes me seem like I overreacted.

Swire flicked its tail and breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of the circumstances, touching or viewing the privacy of non-criminal persons without permission is a despicable and abhorrent act. Being unaware of the facts is equally unacceptable, at most resulting in a lighter sentence.

Conversely, if the parties involved are willing or understanding, the nature of the situation is completely different.

Shi Huaiya twitched her ears and silently thanked him.

ps:

It's already 30,000 words, but I read online that it's best to get 100 favorites before applying for a contract. When I wrote this, it only had over 80.

I'll take a look after this chapter is updated.

Oh right, I also need to get a bank card.

It's all done. I hope the contract will be signed successfully.

As soon as I opened the window, the door slammed shut with a loud bang, which startled me.

The wind is really strong; I feel like my head is going to be blown off. I'm outta here.

New author, new book, please support me!

Volume Two: Fireworks at Dragon Gate - Chapter Nine: First Promotion!

Yun Yi dismissed the panel, looked up and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, what is our intimacy level right now?"

You should trust your own feelings.

Swire didn't want to answer: "That explanation in the emotion module looks terrible. Can it be as accurate as your own?"

"Then this less reliable module is probably more accurate."

Yun Yi shrugged and said with a wry smile, "This module's appearance is most likely due to my mistake."

"I'm not very good at recognizing my own subtle feelings towards others."

"How to say?"

Swire's curiosity was piqued instantly, and she pressed on, "Yesterday doesn't count, but in this short time today, I didn't feel anything was wrong?"

"Well, how should I put it? @鹨一气)1侕坝飼[把]"

Yun Yi coughed and said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's just that I can't distinguish emotions, but that doesn't mean I lack emotional intelligence or IQ. I can just imitate normal interactions, it's very easy."

"imitate?"

"Yes, for example, you were very flustered just now. My experience tells me that I should actively communicate with you to ease your emotions. That's what I did."

Yun Yi gestured and said, "When I'm with you, your emotions and behavior are like a marked basket. I just need to throw the corresponding balls that I've prepared in advance into it."

"In the end, I won't need to use my own feelings towards you at all."

"Perhaps it's because I'm used to interacting with others this way that I now see people as if they're behind a veil."

"I understand what you just said. This kind of interaction is quite common, isn't it? Everyone does it to some extent."

Swire frowned, her long tail swaying anxiously with her own confusion: "But isn't the back a bit abstract, like there's a veil between us?"

Are you saying you feel like you're not on the same level as other people?

"No."

Yun Yi explained vaguely, "It's not like there's a layer separating the top and bottom, it's... I can't really explain it clearly, but the specific manifestation is roughly that the thoughts and emotions in one's heart are not in harmony... um..."

Yunyi spoke haltingly, when he suddenly noticed Shi Huaiya's swaying long tail out of the corner of his eye. His eyes lit up, and he excitedly added:

"Take your tail for example. I think it's very beautiful and looks very nice to touch. It makes people want to wrap themselves around you and see if they can touch it."

"Don't touch it!"

Poetic sentiments are easily provoked.

“I know, I was just using an analogy.”

Yun Yi nodded and continued, "But those are just feelings. When it comes to emotions, my desire to touch your tail is reduced to just a few scattered points."

Swire wagged his tail, thinking to himself, "You don't think that way on the emotion module."

No wonder she said she couldn't distinguish emotions.

"To be honest, this kind of cognition and real emotional experience are out of sync. From a personal perspective, it feels as awkward as suddenly losing a leg."

Yun Yi tapped his head with his finger:

“It’s always very painful, and I always feel like I shouldn’t be like this.”

"The weakness of my emotions made me doubt whether my perception was in line with reality, so gradually, I stopped paying attention to my personal emotional perception."

"This situation feels somewhat familiar."

After listening, Swire nodded thoughtfully: "I think I understand. Don't worry, I'll help you find out what the problem is and how to solve it later."

"That's not necessary."

Yunyi felt there was no need for it.

She's been living like this all these years.

Except at the beginning, this kind of problem no longer has any impact on her.

The reason I was curious before was simply because I was curious about how the system viewed her.

After all, Swire was somewhat of an abstract concept to her.

"Why not? I feel this is a psychological problem for you. The sooner you intervene, the sooner you can relax."

Shi Huaiya, who was temporarily unaware of Yunyi Ququ's situation, shook her head and made up her mind to go home tomorrow and look through that pile of psychology books.

"There's really no need... Never mind, whatever makes you happy."

Seeing that Swire had already made her decision, Yun Yi didn't press the matter. Instead, he quickly tried to distract her, saying:

"Let's talk about that later. Didn't you want me to handle a bunch of things with you today? We've only just finished one of them, right?"

"Oh right, come on, let's sign these three first."

Upon hearing this, Shi Huaiya agreed.

"Is it all land?"

Yun Yi casually flipped through the pages with his pen and exclaimed in surprise, "That adds up to about a thousand square meters! Where did all this land come from? Did you buy it before?"

The largest area she handled in her past life was a contract she helped someone get as a real estate agent, which was over 1,500 square meters.

However, there is little possibility of subletting or selling a house compared to selling land, and the price difference is usually ridiculously large.

—Unless the location is really remote, the land might be cheaper than the house.

"Hehe, this is one of the results of my hard work all night, so of course it can't be too small."
