Chapter 253: Running While Crying
The Exchange System was convinced the “dog host” would finally give in.
After all, she had no other choice!
With her tiny frame, without its help, how could she possibly beat Bai Four-Eyes? Dream on!
Then it heard Su He say:
“Doggie, I haven’t dealt with you lately—are you getting cocky?!
What, trying to control me now?
You think I’ll beg you just to win this race? Even agree to some unfair terms?
Looks like you still don’t understand me.
What I hate most is being threatened—systems included!
If you want to talk, talk now. If I’m in a good mood, maybe I’ll even gift you an 8.8 yuan discounted skin.
If you don’t, then from now on we’re done. I’ll just treat you as crashed. Every year on this day, I’ll burn paper offerings for you!”
The Exchange System crackled with anger!
I just wanted to push you a little, and you’re already planning my memorial day?!
Even its mechanical voice stuttered:
[You—you—you’re not afraid of losing? You’ll lose both face and dignity! And the women in the compound will be discriminated against because of you—your guilt will be immeasurable!]
Su He sneered. “Oh, look at you—learning sarcasm and even slapping labels on people now. You think I’ll definitely lose without you?”
The system hesitated. [Don’t tell me… you can outrun Bai Four-Eyes?]
Su He said lightly, “I can’t outrun him. But I can make it impossible for him to keep running.
Those lenses of his are thick as bottle bottoms—he’s definitely severely nearsighted. When we pass each other later, I’ll ‘accidentally’ knock off his glasses… and then ‘accidentally’ stomp them to pieces.
Tell me—how’s he going to race then?
Borrow glasses? Wrong prescription, he’ll get dizzy.
If he can’t continue, then even if I walk to the finish, I’m still first.”
The Exchange System: …Even a dog would bow down to you. You’re the dog of all dogs.
Su He continued, “Of course, that’s not exactly honorable. I have a second plan—pretend he bumped into me, fall down, stage a collision scam. Even if he wins, it won’t be a fair victory…”
The system: …And you think that’s honorable?!
Your morals might actually be worse than mine!
Su He went on calmly, “Doggie, we’re tied together—why fight over who controls whom?
We’re partners. Only this kind of cooperation lasts long-term.
Other systems might seem impressive controlling their hosts, but they won’t go far. Their KPIs will be left in the dust by you.
You’re destined to be a rising star among systems…”
She waved it off. “Alright, you’re smart enough to get it. Now tell me—what’s the good news?”
The Exchange System, now slightly dazed, replied:
[The good news is that, to help hosts better assist systems, each system has been issued a special agent. It can significantly enhance the host’s physical condition. If you take it, you’ll feel light as a swallow, scale walls, and crush that four-eyed mutt!]
Su He: “……”
Let’s ignore the ‘four-eyed mutt’ part—why does this sound like a scam?
Then the system added:
“Of course, this agent is extremely valuable. You’ll need to purchase it—100,000 yuan per dose!
Absolutely worth the price! Limited stock, don’t miss out!”
Su He cut it off. “Enough with the sales pitch. Give me the real deal. Otherwise, I’ll just use my own methods.”
The system felt suffocated.
I can fool other systems so easily—why can’t I fool this host?!
Seeing she was about to carry out her “collision scam,” it hurriedly said:
[The effect only lasts one hour, and it’s single-use. But the price is really 100,000—I’m not lying.]
Su He blinked. “Impossible. First-time buyers always get a discount. Maybe you even have an insider price. Let’s say… 10,000.”
The system: …Why don’t you just rob me?!
Good thing I inflated the price earlier. With some discount tricks, 10,000 is acceptable.
After a brief pause, it said, “Fine. 10,000 it is.”
“Doggie, since we’re so close, how about you sponsor me a bit? I’ll pay 1,000, you cover the remaining 9,000.”
The system: “……”
You might as well make today my funeral.
Then Su He added, “I won’t let your money go to waste. I only need to beat Bai Four-Eyes, not run a marathon. Half a dose is enough.
You can sell the remaining half to other systems at a high price. Not just 9,000—you could sell it for 90,000…”
The Exchange System:
She may be a dog—but she’s a genius!
Not just 90,000—those idiot systems might pay over 100,000!
I’m going to get rich!
“Host, you’re truly my best host!
I’ll serve you wholeheartedly for life, no complaints!
When we get back, I’ll even give you free supplements and a complimentary massage—”
Su He interrupted impatiently, “Spare me the flattery. Just make the agent look like rabbit milk candy—I’ll eat it later.”
[No need. I can activate it directly.]
The moment it finished speaking, Su He felt all her fatigue vanish. Strength surged through her body.
Technology really is amazing, she thought.
At that moment, Bai Dongliang ran past her. Though panting heavily, he still sneered, “You’re about to collapse, aren’t you? I suggest you give up now.
I’ve already lapped you twice. Even if you finish, you’ll still lose! Women are just weaker—no match for men…”
Su He clenched her fists, her expression resolute. “I won’t argue with you. Who’s stronger—we’ll see.”
Then she accelerated—suddenly overtaking him.
Bai Dongliang scoffed. “Just showing off. You won’t last a few minutes!”
Others thought the same—her speed would surely drop soon.
But Su He maintained her pace, steadily closing the gap.
Of course, she still looked like she was suffering.
Panting heavily, face pale, even wiping away tears occasionally—running while crying.
Director Tian couldn’t bear to watch, turning away to wipe his own tears.
The female medics were sobbing openly, even begging her to stop.
Many spectators began cheering:
“Little Su, amazing!”
“Keep going! Victory will be yours!”
“We believe in you! Defeat Bai Four-Eyes!”
