章節 272: Chapter 272: Defective

[That's not—] The system hesitated, then repeated,

[I am not defective!]

Su Jiyai's eyes gleamed with amusement.

"Mhm, sure. The way you're freaking out makes me think I might be right. So why don't you just admit it? I got a faulty system, didn't I?"

The system remained silent for a few more moments before speaking again.

[Host... this system is not defective. But... there were some unexpected issues during the installation process.]

Su Jiyai raised an eyebrow. "Unexpected issues? Go on."

[This system was meant to be a multiplier system, as you were told. I was designed to multiply resources, powers, and even time under certain conditions. However, during the activation process, there was... a malfunction.]

Su Jiyai crossed her arms, intrigued now.

"A malfunction? So what, the system I got ended up being part multiplier and part rental building system?"

[...Yes.] The system sounded defeated.
