Jiang Pengji listened coldly to the System's countdown, but her mood was not affected at all.
"Xunmei, if you hear anything tonight, don't come in to investigate."
Xunmei sat outside the door, a neatly folded mattress beside her. The mattress was used by the maids to keep warm during the night.
Xunmei was surprised to hear Jiang Pengji's instructions, but she still agreed.
"Yes. Don't worry, Langjun."
"Okay."
Jiang Pengji replied softly.
The System was humane enough to give Jiang Pengji three minutes to prepare. Jiang Pengji unhurriedly took off her outer garment, leaving only her moon-white inner garment. She sat on the mattress and calmly waited for the System's punishment.
"Three, two, one! Punishment commencing! "
As the System's cold countdown ended, in that instant, a strange and explosive energy instantly enveloped his entire body. From the surface of his skin, it fiercely flowed throughout his body like a hot knife through butter. Every muscle in his body seemed to have been violently crushed by something.
Jiang Pengji was forced to bend over from the pain. She lay on the mattress, making only a slight sound.
As the explosive energy spread, her heart beat at an unimaginable speed, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Her blood flowed faster, and hot sweat flowed out of her pores. In less than two or three breaths, the place where she was lying actually became damp. The sweat on her back and shoulder blades had already soaked her clothes, and the excess sweat slid down her skin and dripped onto the bed.
To be honest, the System's punishment was not on the same level as Jiang Pengji's previous training.
In terms of cruelty, the System's punishment was at the most ordinary level, while the Federation's training was at the hellish level.
Comparing the two, Jiang Pengji would rather go through the Federation's training once more.
She had been careless and overestimated herself. She had forgotten that this body belonged to an ancient woman.
Without any specific training, the ancient woman's performance in all aspects could only be described as low, let alone compared to her previous self.
Liu Lanting's body would collapse under the same pain, but Jiang Pengji's previous body would not be affected.
Even though Liu Lanting's body had an additional 31 points of Fusion Force, it was only enough to upgrade the body from a weakling to a burly man. In the end, it was still a normal person. In terms of numbers, it was not even comparable to a genetic warrior.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Pengji was faced with a very awkward situation.
His spirit and will were strong enough, but his body had already reached the limit of collapse.
Her face was slightly twisted because of the pain, but the corners of her lips curled up into a twisted and strange smile, with a hint of mockery.
Although she didn't know how the system graded the pain of the electric shock, after experiencing it herself, she was very clear about one thing — the so-called level five electric shock just happened to be the limit of this body's endurance. If it was just a little bit heavier, the body would collapse first and die!
From the start of the punishment, the System had entered a state of indifference as a bystander, coldly watching as she accepted the punishment, waiting for her to give in and beg for mercy.
Wasn't it good for the System and the Host to mutually benefit each other?
Why was he so violent and uncooperative? Wasn't this harming the interests of both parties?
As a System, it was very certain of Jiang Pengji's ability. If it ignored her bad temper, it could not find any fault with her.
For a system, especially one that had a clear purpose to nurture, a stupid host was indeed easy to control, but it was also tiring to bring them along. Not only did he have to be a father and a mother, he had to calculate every step for them, just like a nanny or a wet nurse.
Therefore, basically every system yearned to meet a host that was smart, motivated, and easy to control.
However, Jiang Pengji did not fall into either category.
She was smart and motivated, but her only fatal flaw was that she had a strong sense of self and would not allow herself to be controlled by others.
A host that refused to follow the System's orders was more annoying than those who were too lazy to use their brains.
At that moment, Liu Lanting's body was already on the verge of collapse. If not for Jiang Pengji's strong will, it would have been useless.
She secretly told herself, "Hang in there, Jiang Pengji!"
The genetic warrior training method developed by the Federation essentially used external forces to stimulate the activity of muscle cells.
Hehe, although this strange energy had caused her to suffer greatly, after she had endured it, the benefits would be huge.
The System would not let her die. If she did, the System would suffer a great loss.
However, not letting her die and not letting her suffer were two completely different concepts.
She knew very well that the System was using this punishment as a warning. If she did not want to suffer anymore, she had to complete the System's mission obediently.
Haha!
That was unfortunate!
Jiang Pengji was a tough bone that no one could bite!
Who would dare to bite?
Be careful, or you might break a mouthful of teeth!
The System watched coldly from the side. It did not seem anxious at all.
Liu Xi's body data was being monitored in real time. He was only at the zero point. It was fine as long as he was still alive.
Three minutes was not a long time, but for Jiang Pengji, every second felt like a year.
One minute ago, Liu Xi's body data was in a scary red color, which meant that his body was on high alert.
One minute later, the System was still not anxious, but it did not notice that the red color of the data had faded.
By the time it realized something was wrong, the color of the data had turned orange-red.
It was still high risk, but the alert level was lower than the red.
What had happened?
The System was confused.
In less than half a minute, the orange-red color slowly turned orange-yellow, and the alert level was lowered again!
Before the System could figure out what had happened, the punishment that lasted for three minutes was over. Jiang Pengji lay on the bed with her limbs spread out. Her chest rose and fell rapidly. She used her mouth and nose to greedily breathe in fresh air to relieve the pain in her body.
"Three minutes have passed?"
Jiang Pengji's voice became extremely hoarse. It was as harsh as sandpaper rubbing against glass.
The System softly responded.
"Three minutes, it's really … a pity it's too short …"
She laughed, and her voice sounded strange and cynical.
The System thought that Jiang Pengji was mocking it, so it could not help but say, "The real-time mission is issued automatically. I did not intentionally give it to the host. The time, frequency, and even the content of the mission are not within the System's control. The host's sarcasm will greatly affect the enthusiasm of the System, which will have a huge impact on our cooperation."
Jiang Pengji was extremely tired, but there was a bright smile on her face.
"No, System, that's not what I meant!" Jiang Pengji laughed so hard that she almost could not finish her sentence.
"Then what do you mean?" The System asked.
