System Upgrade, Two-Person Binding

How... how could this be...

What a strange feeling...

Doctor Ya tilted her head back, her cheeks flushed red as she stared blankly at the ceiling.

According to my calculations, these two should have regained their composure after a brief moment of shock and then continued to fulfill their mission...

But...

Why did they react so strongly when I revealed the truth?

Even...

They actually hit me...

This clearly defies all logic, doesn’t it?

How could they just start hitting people out of nowhere?

Why are these two acting so irrationally...

I’ve analyzed millions of Chosen Ones in my mind, and the conclusion I reached was:

[After learning the difficulty has skyrocketed, the two quickly calm down, get into the zone, formulate a plan, and overcome the powerful enemy—while I silently support them from behind the scenes...]

But...

How in the world can a mere rules-based slap land on me, an avatar of the Heavenly Dao?

What kind of nonsense is this...

Most importantly...

Why...

Does this slap... feel so nostalgic...

Which version of [me]... was also hit like this before...

The memory is so vivid...

Why is that...

And... such a peculiar sensation... why do I suddenly feel... so sleepy...

Ah... could it be...

Doctor Ya slowly lost consciousness.

I... can sleep now?

Plop.

Her head tilted to the side, and she passed out.

Pat pat pat pat.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Su Muwan lightly tapped Doctor Ya’s cheek, then scratched the back of her head and looked helplessly at Qin Luo. "She’s out cold. So, are we still getting our cheat or not?"

"Obviously..."

Qin Luo sighed and let go of Doctor Ya. "Our cheat isn’t coming."

Hearing this—

"Ahhh—!!"

Su Muwan dragged out her groan, her face falling into a full-on pout as she whined miserably, "I quit! I’m done!"

"I don’t wanna play anymore!"

"What even is all this? So annoying! It’s way too annoying!"

"Beat this, deal with that—can’t I just laze around every day without a care in the world?"

"Why does it have to be so complica—"

Before she could finish—

Qin Luo, sharing the exact same sentiment, let out an even more dramatic wail under Su Muwan’s stunned gaze.

"Why why why?!"

"I just want to hurry up and reach my dream life of sucking on the young mistress’ stockings every day!"

"Otherwise, why would I go through all the trouble of founding the Shadow Organization and setting up all these schemes?!"

"All of this—is for the sake of jade feet!!"

"But! But why are there so many stupid obstacles in the way of my true purpose?!"

Su Muwan stared blankly at Qin Luo as he spouted his perverted nonsense.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds—

"Same here!"

She clutched her chest and shouted at Qin Luo, "I just wanna spend my days playing with your little hands, Qin Luo!"

"I don’t want to waste time dealing with this nonsense about sealing away Chosen Ones!"

"All of this—is because of that stupid Heavenly Dao going crazy!"

"Exactly!"

At this point, the two locked eyes, as if they’d both realized something.

Thinking this through—

"Young Mistress."

Qin Luo took a deep breath and reached out to Su Muwan.

"Qin Luo."

Su Muwan also took a deep breath and reached out to Qin Luo—though she couldn’t quite bring herself to extend her foot instead.

After clasping hands, they spoke solemnly:

"At this point..."

"Words are meaningless."

"We must seal the Chosen Ones..."

"Not because of fate or destiny."

"Not because we’re forced to."

"But because after fixing the Heavenly Dao..."

"We’re gonna kill it!! x2"

As soon as the words left their mouths—

A voice echoed simultaneously in their minds.

[Heavenly Dao energy detected—]

[Supreme Lackey System has been upgraded—]

[Master-Servant Bond System has been bound—Supreme Lackey System privileges retained.]

[New system, fresh experience. To better visualize power growth, system functions will now be displayed.]

Qin Luo & Su Muwan: ???

The two froze for a moment.

Then, they noticed golden light radiating from their fingertips, forming glowing threads in the air.

Following the threads—

They saw the source.

A single raised finger.

They turned.

There, lying on the ground, Doctor Ya had lifted her index finger at some point.

She let out a contented sigh.

Unlike before, her dark circles were gone, and her bloodstained white coat had vanished.

Instead, she now looked bright and energetic—like she’d jumped from the "Dawn of the Dead" channel straight into a cheery morning exercise segment.

Qin Luo and Su Muwan stared at her in confusion.

Doctor Ya sat up, stretched with a yawn, and then grinned at them.

"Haven’t slept that well in ages..."

"Who asked about that?!"

"Ahem... Fine."

Seemingly refreshed from her nap, Doctor Ya patiently explained, "I’ve shared my Heavenly Dao energy with Qin Luo’s system."

"In simple terms, your system just got another upgrade. This one will absolutely help you overcome any crisis."

"And because of the unique nature of Qin Luo’s system, Su Muwan now has one too. What happens next? No clue."

"After all, no major villain has ever had a system before."

Got it.

In short—cheat acquired.

Su Muwan blinked at the panel in front of her.

[Master-Servant Bond System]?

"What a weird name."

She muttered while skimming the details. Though she’d read plenty of system novels, this was her first time experiencing one firsthand.

Still, to her, this was probably just some useless garbage—

Just as she thought that—

[Bound Servant: Qin Luo (attributes viewable)]

[Master’s Decree: Once per day, issue a mandatory command (servant will obey even at the cost of their life).]

[Current Bond Level: 3 (increases through coordinated actions). Unlocked fusion skills. Unlocked bond power.]

...

...

The rest of the text blurred as Su Muwan’s eyes locked onto the "mandatory command" line.

Her body trembled.

Her eyes sparkled with unrestrained excitement.

Oh.

My.

God.

This Master-Servant System is AMAZING!
