Ma Xiaoli looked calm and unbothered: 【Exploiting a bug? Do you mean your program has a bug?】
The system was clearly choked up by Ma Xiaoli’s brazen statement.
Without hesitation, Ma Xiaoli placed another order.
This time, she decisively chose “Reorder,” then added an extra stack of instant noodles, compressed biscuits, self-heating meals, self-heating hot pots, and high-calorie snacks like chocolate. After that, she scheduled the delivery for 7 days later.
Sure enough, the errand app instantly intercepted this order for her again!
【Error! Program error! Errand app entering forced upgrade immediately!!】
By the time the system reacted and tried to patch this bug, Ma Xiaoli had already placed a massive amount of supply orders, with delivery times distributed at 14, 21, and 28 days later.
Since she had already accepted these errand tasks, even if the system forcefully patched the bug, it could only interfere with her future operations rather than hold her accountable for her past bug exploitation!
Not to mention, through a flurry of ferocious operations, Ma Xiaoli had already stocked up on supplies for at least the next 3 months!
What’s more, the electric scooter’s Express Delivery Folded Space possessed the properties of “vacuum preservation” and “absolute cold chain.” This meant that inside this folded space, the flow of time was equivalent to time standing still. As long as they stretched their resources, she could stock up on perishable items like vegetables and fruits until the end of time!
Just this alone made it far superior to Luo Xiaoxiao’s million-dollar hoarding space from her past life!
After all, as large as Luo Xiaoxiao’s space was, it couldn’t preserve freshness!
Just as she was considering whether she should also hoard some dim sum, steamed buns, and the like, she suddenly heard the system speak through gritted teeth: 【The errand app has completed its update. This update guarantees that Host will never be able to use close acquaintances to exploit bugs again!】
After returning the phone to Old Ma, who was still inexplicably moved, Ma Xiaoli returned to her room to read the update notes carefully.
Just as the system had said, this update restricted Ma Xiaoli from finding close acquaintances to place orders for bug exploitation.
Aside from those related to her by blood, it even placed limits on companions who “partnered up” with her in the apocalypse.
System: 【Host, this is what they call “for every step the virtuous take, the wicked advance a mile.”】
This guy was probably driven mad with anger, completely forgetting to spew its usual nonsensical, tongue-in-cheek fluff.
At those words, Ma Xiaoli felt as if her sky had collapsed: 【Am I no longer your favorite darling?!】
If the system had a tail, it would surely be sticking straight up into the air right now—and even without a tail, that didn’t stop its mantou avatar from bouncing frantically on the errand app interface.
Ma Xiaoli, Ma Xiaoli was laughing hysterically on the inside!
As long as she found someone outside her bloodline who wasn’t a companion to place an order, she could still exploit the bug just the same!
For a moment, the girl and the system were both feeling pleased with themselves in their own ways.
Lying in bed, tossing and turning without sleep, Ma Xiaoli simply flipped herself out of bed, tiptoed back into the courtyard, and used her ability once again on the weeds that had previously been accelerated in growth—this time, she forced the weeds to grow back and forth multiple times in one go. Unexpectedly, her ability still hadn’t been overdrawn, so she had no choice but to do another round.
As her ability was completely exhausted, the wood-element ability data indeed turned into 3/20. She vaguely felt that after overdrawing her ability each time, her proficiency in controlling it improved, and even her ability pool seemed to have deepened.
Having drained this wave, she even became reaccustomed to the splitting headache.
Opening “Discover” to take a look, a new time-limited task had actually refreshed. This time, without disturbing anyone, she mounted her electric scooter and went out to grind tasks.
Late at night, there were quite a lot of people eating midnight snacks.
Among the time-limited tasks she received, besides errand tasks, there were surprisingly food delivery tasks as well.
What surprised Ma Xiaoli the most was that one of the yellow-marked orders was actually placed by an “acquaintance”!
The moment Ma Xiaoli took off her helmet and walked over, the real estate agent girl, who was currently yawning, froze for a second: “Oh my, Miss Ma! How is it you?”
The agent girl ran over, took her food delivery with both hands, and said with a pleasantly surprised face: “How timely! I was originally thinking it was too late tonight, and calling or leaving a message for you might disturb your rest!”
Ma Xiaoli glanced at her phone, “Make it short. I still have orders to deliver.”
The agent girl looked surprised. Thinking of how Ma Xiaoli was anxious to sell her house at a low price and was still running orders to deliver food this late, who knew what she had instantly imagined, but her expression struggled for a moment: “It’s like this, Miss Ma. Half an hour ago, a customer expressed interest in buying your house, but he hopes to drive the price down a bit more.”
The agent girl then quoted a number, which was actually 200,000 lower than Ma Xiaoli’s original bottom price!
Hearing this, just as Ma Xiaoli was about to frown, the agent girl said: “But don’t worry, the other party actually likes your house very much. I estimate that if we can give it one more day, he might change his mind…”
Ma Xiaoli: “You should know that my house is already priced 200,000 lower than other houses in the same district. If not for my urgent need for money…”
The agent girl repeatedly explained that she understood: “But he is willing to pay in a lump sum. I still think it’s worth considering. Perhaps if you lower it by another 100,000…”
Ma Xiaoli: “No need. Just help me process a bank mortgage directly. I need money urgently, preferably done tomorrow.”
For some unknown reason, the exact moment she made this decision, the system actually broadcasted: 【Alas! 2 humans have been targeted by the Grim Reaper. Due to Host’s reminder, a fatal outcome was avoided. The Grim Reaper is very angry and has drained 2 points of Host’s Luck Value! Due to Host’s act of kindness, the merciful God rewards…】
Ma Xiaoli paid no further attention to the system’s broadcast and suddenly asked the agent girl: “Is it convenient to disclose information about the buyer?”
The agent girl said awkwardly: “Miss Ma, this isn’t according to the rules…”
Ma Xiaoli: “What if I am willing to sell the house?”
The moment she changed her mind, the system broadcasted again: 【Due to Host’s decision, 2 humans have been targeted by the Grim Reaper once again. The God of Luck is very angry and has drained 2 points of Host’s Luck Value! The Grim Reaper thinks Host is a fickle person, but finds you very interesting, so it has granted you 10 points of Luck Value.】
Hearing this broadcast, far from feeling happy, Ma Xiaoli’s brows furrowed so deeply they could almost crush a fly: “Sorry, I’ve decided not to sell after all.”
Sure enough, the system broadcasted once more: 【Host is too fickle! 2 humans have avoided death once again, but both the God of Luck and the Grim Reaper are extremely displeased with you. Host has lost 12 points of Luck Value in one go!】
After a pause, the system cheerfully added a parting blow: 【Congratulations to Host, your Luck Value has been completely wiped out to zero!】
Although Ma Xiaoli felt deeply pained by the loss, this round of testing indeed proved that selling the house would cause the death of others!
While she wasn’t a hypocritical saint, she didn’t want to carry the burden of other people’s lives on her conscience because of her own decisions!
Therefore, as the agent girl stood there at a total loss and slightly breaking down, Ma Xiaoli confirmed with her once more: “I won’t change my mind again. I’m not selling this house. Please help me process the mortgage tomorrow. As long as I can get the money tomorrow, I will still give you an extra 4% commission.”
The agent girl wanted to persuade her further, but Ma Xiaoli had already made up her mind and was in a hurry to deliver orders, so she quickly mounted her electric scooter and rode away.
