Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 345: Important choice

"What do you mean by important choice?" I asked the system in a serious voice.

I knew that the system wouldn’t joke about something like this, so it seemed that it indeed had something important to talk about...

But what could it be?

The system was silent for a bit before suddenly saying, "This is a choice related to Mu Bao Bao."

I was even more shocked when I heard this.

How was Mu Bao Bao suddenly brought up all of sudden like this?

"What do you mean by that?" I asked the system in a serious voice.

The system didn’t answer right away as it just remained silent for a bit, but it still eventually spoke.

"Partner, this is an important choice related to Mu Bao Bao. Please know that the system has nothing against Mu Bao Bao, but this is a choice that you have to make. It will decide your future."

I was once again surprised to hear this.

Whatever this choice was, it was clear that it was not an easy one with the way that the system was acting...

When I heard it, I was certainly shocked by the choice.

"Do you wish to negate your meeting with Mu Bao Bao?"

"You can do that?"

"Partner, please focus on the main point." The system quickly said in response before falling silent again as if it was waiting for me to give a response.

I didn’t say anything in response since there was no easy response to give.

That was one of the reasons why I had been trying to lighten the mood with that question...

The system was telling me to give up Mu Bao Bao, I could understand that even if I was a fool. While I didn’t know why the system wanted me to give up Mu Bao Bao, I knew that it would have a reason for me to give her up.

With the way that it spoke so seriously, it seemed that this reason was quite heavy.

Only it didn’t make sense why the system was being so serious all of a sudden.

That was until I thought of something.

Even though I was playing a fool, my mind had been turning the entire time since I knew that there should be some kind of reason for the system to act this way all of a sudden.

Since it was related to Mu Bao Bao, there was only one thing that it could be.

"Did something happen to Mu Huang’s main body? Or rather, did something happen to the Sakura Upper Realm?" I suddenly asked the system instead of answering the prompt that was in front of me.

The system didn’t say anything in response and instead just made the prompt in front of me bigger.

It was as if it was saying that it wouldn’t be able to answer as long as I didn’t accept the prompt.

But the way that it acted was more than enough to give me an answer.

It wasn’t saying that something had happened to Mu Huang, but it also wasn’t saying that something didn’t happen to him. It was possible that there was something that was about to happen that would get me caught up as well, which was why the system was making me make this choice.

It was trying to prevent me from getting caught up in this.

However, with how long the system had been with me, it should already know that I wasn’t that kind of person in the first place.

So instead of raising my hand to touch any of the options of the prompt, I just simply looked at the prompt with a serious look.

I didn’t know where else to look since I didn’t know where the system was, so I just treated the prompt as the system.

There was a long and awkward silence that was in my mind as I looked at the prompt.

Eventually, the system finally said, "Partner, it is a long and arduous journey if you wish to take it. If you choose yes, then the system will make it as if nothing happened. In the first place, she only followed you because of the system’s reward, so the system is putting things back to normal. She will disappear and go back to living her own life, while you will live your own life."

The way that the system said this really seemed like it was urging me to give up on Mu Bao Bao.

At the same time, it seemed that whatever was happening in the Sakura Upper Realm was serious enough that even the system was worried.

Just what was happening that even the system with its super defense system couldn’t handle?

Or was it something that was more on the emotional side...

The system had the power to suppress the world, but there weren’t many things that the system could do when it came to the matters of the heart.

"Partner, this is for your own good." The system tried one more time to sway me.

The answer that I gave the system was very simple.

I raised my hand and pressed the no button.

The system was silent for a bit after I pressed the button, but I said without any hesitation, "You know what kind of person I am. Would I really abandon one of my people that easily?"

"Sigh." This was the first time that I heard the system sighing like this, which really was a surprise.

Even after everything that we had been through, the system had never sighed like this before...

But before I could ask the system anything, there was another notification that suddenly appeared.

"Sudden Mission released."

"Eight invaders have been found. Host, please destroy those eight invaders and maintain the peace of this lower realm."

"Current progress: 2/8."

"Eight invaders, huh? That seems to be the exact number needed to finish off the Ancient Realm Map. Are you sure that there are only eight of them?"

"The others do not need intervention for now. Please remember that you are one person, not a god. You cannot protect this place forever, nor should you bind yourself to that thought."

I was surprised to hear this, but I couldn’t help nodding in agreement.

The people of this world would take care of it in time, it wasn’t as if this was something that I should worry about forever.

Especially since I knew that the system had released this mission to prepare me to head to the upper realm.
