The Empress' Livestream Chapter 763

How couldn't Jiang Pengji know that it was dangerous to let the woman who had crossed dimensions go unchecked?

For each day that this potential pitfall stayed alive was one more day that Jiang Pengji would have to face the constant threat of assassination. Not only that, but the people around her might also be implicated.

A female inter-dimensional traveler with no scruples. A greedy system that wanted the world to be thrown into chaos and also harbored a myriad of schemes. These two fellows even harbored malice for Jiang Pengji that no one else knew about… Solely based on this point, Jiang Pengji could not allow them to stay alive and healthy. That would give her even more stress!

If the roots weren't pulled out with the weed, it would come back to life with the spring breeze.

However, she was a rational hunter and knew what to do to catch her prey smoothly.

No matter how anxious she felt, she had to bear with it. She couldn't let her prey discover her true purpose ahead of time.

When hunting, one had to, of course, kill with a single blow. Once the shot was taken, you must not give your prey a single chance to turn things around and escape.

Tormenting the inter-dimensional traveler and the subsystem now was nothing more than the warm-up before the hunt. She pressed hard, exerting the greatest amount of pressure on her prey to keep them fully occupied so that they could hardly catch their breath. They would exhaust their physical strength to a certain degree. She would make her move when the time was right.

The subsystem in the body of the inter-dimensional traveler was different from the subsystem in Jiang Pengji's body.

The two had the same origin and the same starting point, but their development pathways differed by the host.

Jiang Pengji knew the subsystem harbored evil intentions from the beginning. She was always on her guard against it and limited its growth.

To use a visual analogy, this subsystem of Jiang Pengji's was a pathetic thing that had its food cut back, eating only one meal a day. With inadequate nutrition, its development was severely delayed. It was as strong as a 6-foot-tall man who weighed only 40 pounds. Its form was emaciated and it could offer little to no resistance.

What about the subsystem of the female inter-dimensional traveler?

Under the encouragement of the subsystem, she'd given her all to do the livestream.

Because of the rewards given to her by the subsystem, she lost her scruples, little by little, until there was nothing left…

With such a hard-working host, there was no way the system had only earned a minimal amount of popularity points.

Compared to the pathetic system in Jiang Pengji, the system in the inter-dimensional traveler was having the time of its life. It was dining on fresh seafood every day, and every meal was a 108 full-course banquet. It wanted to eat eight to ten meals a day. Its digestive system could not keep up and it had long ago become obese.

Jiang Pengji only wanted her system to “lose weight” by tormenting it. She kept thinking of ways to use up its popularity points.

When it had slimmed down to a certain degree and there were not many popularity points left, that would be the most opportune moment for Jiang Pengji to close the net.

If both subsystems were imprisoned, she would get to see how big of a turmoil the real system was still capable of causing!

Jiang Pengji sneered as she played with the flame.

When the truth came out, she would let the smart-aleck system know who was the real schemer was!

There were two developments, and this one would be narrated first.

The female inter-dimensional traveler's appearance had become that of an old woman. Her body had been dismembered while still alive by Jiang Pengji using five ivory writing tablets.

“Host, this is the third time!”

The system's voice was especially cold and its tone carried a strong sense of reproach.

If not for Jiang Pengji playing tricks and binding the system to the physical body, it would have long ago abandoned this utter failure of a host.

In just one or two months, she had actually died three times by the same person's hands, and each time had been more violent than the last. That fact made it so angry.

The old woman's soul was pulled into the system space and restored to the appearance of a gorgeous woman dressed in red clothing.

Her face was extremely pale, and her eyes were still full of terror and dread that had not yet dissipated.

Although it had lasted only a moment, the intense pain of being dismembered into five parts still brought an inexplicable pain and lingering shadow into her soul.

The system's criticisms and condemnation allowed her to recover some of her mental faculties as she quietly bit her full red lips.

Because of the system's guidance, she had never thought that she was subject to the system's control.

Who was the system?

Who was the host?

Just based on the words, one could tell who was in the dominant role. The system was nothing more than a string of data points in her mind.

In the past, they'd had common interests, so the woman in red could endure the open criticism. But now that she had suffered continuous setbacks in rapid succession, she was frustrated too!

“So what if it's the third time? Who was the one who came up with this rotten idea? System, in the first place, you were the one who said that exposing Liu Xi's identity as a female would teach her a lesson! Now that it failed, you're blaming all that sh*t on me? Who do you think you are? You're just data, not even a human, so stop putting on airs in front of me. If you continue to mess with me, I'll go on strike right now. Go and find other hosts if you think you can do better!”

The woman in red felt so unbearably bitter and mad that she spoke those angry words.

As a matter of fact, her angry words hit right where it hurt.

Motherf*cker, if it could change its host, why would it still be reasoning non-stop with this stupid b*tch here?

At first, it'd chosen the woman in red as its host merely because she seemed easily controllable. The level of her IQ was that of an ordinary person. She was a little greedy, liked to get something for nothing, and her head was filled with a bunch of unrealistic daydreams. Also, she was vain, and her innate character was of someone who bullied the weak but feared the strong… The system loved this type of host the most. Not too stupid but not smart either. She had weaknesses which allowed her to be easily controlled, turning her into the most obedient puppet…

Looking at her now, she was just too stupid and her ability to effectively take care of things was poor. Even though she had a system to assist her, she was still being dispatched by Jiang Pengji to hell and back regularly!

The system did not feel even a little bit of fear towards the host. After working and living with her for more than twenty years, it was very aware of her true nature.

It sneered, “Host, according to the original contract that you signed, you can't unilaterally go on strike whenever you wish. Aren't you afraid of punishment by electric shock or obliteration?”

The woman in red shivered subconsciously when she heard those words.

“I haven't made any mistakes yet. Why would you want to obliterate me?”

For the woman in red, there was nothing more powerful than this threat.

No one knew that she hadn't been like this at the beginning.

As an internet D-list celebrity host who had accidentally crossed into a strange dimension and gained a formidable livestream system in her mind, no matter how she looked at it and thought about it, those were the makings of a female lead character of a romance novel. The system's style of doing things was also identical to what was usually depicted in the novels. She became increasingly convinced that she was extraordinary.

At first, the system used autonomously issued tasks to test her scruples and limits, getting her to do things she didn't want to do. She got upset too.

It was merely a system, yet it wanted to control her?

Just who was the host and who was the obedient servant?

She completed two tasks and tasted the sweetness of it. However, she resisted the third task and the system passed judgment that she had failed.

The cost of failure was a second-level electric shock.

She'd experienced that painful feeling once before and had no desire to experience it again.

On one hand, rich rewards were given after completing a task. On the other hand, painful punishment was dealt after failing a task. She wisely chose the former. Even if the tasks issued by the system caused her to frown and feel uneasy, she still worked hard to complete the tasks when she considered her interests.

As long as she was okay, what problem was it of hers whether others lived or died?

When she rose to the very top Streamer Level, she would be able to take all that she had gained over these past few years and return to her dimension. Then, she would have no connection at all with this world.

“Who cares if the world drowns after I'm dead?” rang through her head.

As long as her interests were not hurt, other people's lives were irrelevant.

The system said in a shady and cryptic tone, “Host, do I need to remind you how many popularity points you owe me now?”

The woman in red immediately felt terrified. No matter how unwilling and displeased she felt, she had to swallow her anger.
