Time travel: Are you as professional as him in eating dog food?

On a winter night, heavy snow fell for three days and three nights

In a small village surrounded by mountains 2,000 miles away from the imperial capital, screams and cries rose and fell, continuous and seemingly endless. The blood stained the footprints on the snow, like a sad and beautiful painting, but full of endless sorrow.

"Whoosh!" A faint sound came from the box, like a person who had just woken up from a nightmare.

"Ahem... Am I in... a coffin? The landlord is quite conscientious." The small cough was like a sharp sword, piercing the silence in the room, and echoing in the air with a hint of surprise and confusion.

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded in the room.

"Brother, we have gained a lot from this trip... We can get a share of the employer's money, and we can also take away these people..."

"Cough cough..."

The voice was immediately interrupted by a cough, and the person who spoke looked at him and signaled him not to be so blunt, as there might be ears on the other side of the wall.

"Yes...Brother, what about the bodies of these people? Did we burn them?"

The room was silent for a moment. After a moment, the person who had just coughed spoke in a rough voice.

"Tell the brothers to be careful and not let any one go. After all the bodies have been checked, pile them up and set them on fire, burning the farm together with the bodies to prevent future troubles."

"Yes"

The box was gently lowered as the voices disappeared. There was a faint sound of a door closing in the room, and then the sound of the wind and snow outside was heard.

The sound of "tat tat tat" was followed by the crackling sound of the candle flame.

"Squeak!" A pair of small hands slowly lifted a corner of the box, and a pair of black eyes looked into the room through the gap.

A rude voice slowly sounded, followed by the sound of knuckles tapping on the table.

"I didn't expect such a small mountain village to have such a character. It's unheard of. But this time it was really easy. A bunch of idiots, they really believed that we were traveling merchants hiding from the snow, otherwise we wouldn't... kill them so easily..."

A crisp sound interrupted the smug voice in the room.

The man looked around with a vigilant look on his face. "Who... come out, or I won't be polite... come out"

Suddenly, the man discovered the source of the sound like a vigilant cheetah. His footsteps seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, and he slowly and tiptoed closer to the place where the sound came from. One hand tightly grasped the handle of the knife like a pair of pliers and slowly raised it, while the other hand slowly pulled the ring of the box as if in slow motion. Just as the box was about to be opened, the knife in the man's hand fell like lightning. However, at this critical moment, a childish voice came from the box, like a frightened bird, which made people feel pity.

"Good...good man, I am a good citizen, a great good citizen"

"what?"

The man holding the knife had a puzzled look on his face, staring at the box like a hawk. In the corner of the box, there was a person half-sitting, with a pitiful and panicked look on his face, like a frightened deer. However, looking at his pitiful expression, the big man did not have the slightest pity. Instead, he was overjoyed as if he had discovered a treasure, and his eyebrows were raised in excitement. His strong hands were like iron pliers, tightly grasping the collar of the person in the box, and pulled him out like a chicken. The big man also laughed triumphantly, and the laughter echoed in the air, making people shudder.

"Little thing... I finally found you. I was wondering where you had gone. But you revealed your location yourself. It was really easy to get what you wanted. Hahahaha..."

With a bang, the door was kicked open, and the big man grabbed the little guy by the collar like a chick and dragged him out with a laugh...

A heavy "pop" sounded, and a thin figure was thrown to the ground. A huge figure blocked the light in front of it, and it was pitch black all around. The thin figure could only slowly curl itself up and move back little by little until... it touched a sticky snow stain.

"Brother, this is..."

A voice came, and it was very familiar. The person sitting on the ground slowly raised his head, and through the light between them, he could see the faces of the two people clearly.

One is skinny and sturdy, the other is big and strong, just like my landlady... Oh, this guy shouldn't be said to be similar, he is simply a replica of the landlady, a landlady in men's clothing, is it possible that I am so unlucky that I was just crushed to death by him before, and now I am going to die at the hands of 'her'...

While he was guessing, he heard the similar person say to the skinny and monkey-like man: "Look...are these all the ones you said you had killed? There is only one left. You killed them all, but you were just fooling people." He slapped the man on the head.

The thin man was slapped and staggered a little. He finally managed to steady himself and took a nearby torch and stretched it towards him.

Now the people on the ground and the people holding torches could see clearly.

"Damn, I was wondering why it was so sticky, turns out it's blood"

"Damn, I was wondering why I couldn't find him, turns out he was hiding"

Although the two people said it in unison, the meaning and taste were completely different.

Seeing this, the big man walked to the side of the thin man, pushed him away, looked at the thin monkey lying on the ground, and said fiercely

"Get out of the way, I'll deal with him myself." Then he turned to look at the person on the ground

"Little guy, if you want to blame someone, blame the person who wants to buy your life, and..." He looked at the corpses around him, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Remember... they died because of you. When they go to Hades, don't let them sue the wrong person...ah"

With a roar, the big man swung the long knife in his hand and was about to fall. The man on the ground thought that his resurrection career had come to an end and closed his eyes resigned to his fate. Suddenly, a sound similar to a machine sounded inexplicably in his ears.

[Ding~ The soul compatibility of the single dog host is detected. Now, start binding. 3, 2, 1, binding completed. Congratulations to the host for successfully binding to the system of eating dog food, earning dog food, and being happier the more you eat.]

"Huh? Eating dog food? Is that what I understood?

The person sitting on the ground subconsciously asked what was in his mind

[Yes, host. I am your guide this time----Xiaomian, you can call me Mianmian]

A mechanical and emotionless male voice appeared in his ears. No, to be more precise, it appeared in all parts of his body, because he felt that this voice not only appeared in his ears, but also in his mind.

system?

The person on the ground covered his eyes with his hands and suddenly brightened up, but then dimmed again in an instant.

"God damn it, who the hell would bind such a useless system at such an urgent moment?"

【Then shall I leave? 】

The emotionless male voice sounded in his ears again.

"What are you doing? Do you want to have a meal and watch a show before leaving? Get lost!"

The man on the ground closed his eyes again after saying this, waiting for the 40-meter machete to chop him in half.

But after a long time, there was no movement, and the surroundings were silent, except for the whistling sound of the wind and snow...

The person on the ground felt strange, slowly lowered his arm that was covering his eyes, slowly opened his eyes, and then he discovered the horrifying scene in front of him.

A 40-meter-long machete was quietly stopped about 1 meter away from me, motionless...

The man on the ground froze, his hands and feet unconsciously moving back and forth slowly, until he was as far away from the long sword as possible.

After a moment, a man sitting 39 meters away from the big man with the long sword asked with a heavy breath

"You did it?"

[Are you blind? You did it, you loser] A slightly emotional voice sounded

"Hey~ Am I not your master? You are playing tricks on me, I can hear it," the man on the ground asked while panting.

[Then I'll leave? You, a single host, just wait here to be chopped into 18 halves.]

"Puff!" The man on the ground instantly felt that he had been hit by a critical hit. He covered his chest and didn't bother to pay attention to this stupid system. He slowly stood up and looked around. There were corpses everywhere and the smell of blood was very strong. Such a scene made him feel unreal for a moment, as if he was filming a movie. The next second, the director called cut, and those dead people would get up with a normal look on their faces and walk towards him calmly...

"This can't be true..."

【Are you asking me? 】

"Then is there anything alive here that can talk to me?"

The stiff-bodied man answered silently, but his eyes seemed to be fixed, staring at the dead body on the ground.

[Okay, since the host asked, I will answer you for free this time: No, host, this is the real world.]

This is the real world! Each word was like a hammer, hitting his heart again and again.

The person standing in the snow, not knowing whether it was because of fear or because it was too cold, tightly hugged the only piece of coarse cloth that could cover his body, but his shivering body under the coarse cloth was still clearly visible.

[Host, are you cold? ]

"Isn't that nonsense? Why would I shiver if I'm not cold?"

[Oh, I thought you were so scared that you were about to pee your pants, so you were shaking... peeing]

"You are the one who was scared to the point of peeing your pants. You are the one..."

A rebuttal came out from the lips that were frozen purple.

[Forget it, although this is the first time I have seen such a stubborn host, I have decided not to argue with you out of kindness. Next, I will...]

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a shivering person. "Hey... since you are a system, can't you turn me into a down jacket?"

[Do you think I am your mother? Or the department store? ]

"What? But isn't the system omnipotent?" he asked tremblingly.

[Well, I also have principles. If you want to eat a free meal, you might as well open your mouth wide. And who told you that the system is omnipotent? This is ancient times. If you wear a down jacket, who are you going to scare to death?]

"Then tell me...how can I conjure up a down jacket? I'm freezing to death." He hugged his arms and jumped a few times.

[Then I suggest you run 3000 meters, and you will be warm]

"Fuck~ You broken system, get out of here, I don't want to talk to you anymore, get out..." A roar resounded throughout the valley

[Host, please don't be so angry. I was just joking with you. Please don't mind it.]

"No, I do mind~ I do mind~ the kind that is hard to coax" she said while pouting her purple little mouth

[Then...if you still have the opportunity to return to real life and earn money to reach the peak of your life, would you...still mind? ]

"Really? I can go back?"

In an instant, an unusual gleam of light appeared on the face of the man who was originally pouting in anger, as if he had regained his consciousness. He stared at the corpse in front of him.

[Yes, host, as long as you can complete the task, and then I will introduce you to the existing packages of this system, but a warm reminder: now you owe the system 20 dog food, if it reaches 100, the system will punish you with death, please remember this, don't violate the rules.]

"What? I didn't do anything, why do I still owe you... Stop it, I need an explanation, please call the human customer service, I want to report you for this unscrupulous black system..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the big man in front of him suddenly stagger, as if he had been fixed and then released.

"Fuck~ You're such a shitty system, it just turns on when I say it, I TM..."

[What you said is the golden rule for me, of course I have to satisfy you. This time the settlement is: -50. Please keep up the good work, host.]

The mechanical voice and the emotionless onomatopeia have no flavor at all, especially in this tense and exciting chase, it seems even more perfunctory.

"If you don't save me, you won't be able to live if I die." He ran forward to avoid danger. The big man behind him saw that his prey still had the strength to run away, so he quickly called the skinny man to chase after him, shouting as he chased.

"Run...where can you run to, little brat? Stop right there!" He waved the big knife in his hand, took a round object from the skinny man's hand, and threw it at him.

"Tap!" He aimed at the running man with great accuracy and knocked him to the ground.

The running man was hit in the snow and simply lay still as a corpse. After all, he had the most experience in such roles.

The big man walked up slowly, kicked his thin body, stepped on his back, raised the knife and said disdainfully: "Don't resist, you... will die today"

Just as he was about to drop the knife with his hand raised high, a sound like that of breaking through snow and wind rang out in the snowy night.

With a "puff", the big man who had been holding the sword high suddenly fell backwards.

The next second, something like a round shoe head kicked the side of the person in the snow. A soft, impatient voice like a young girl's came to his ears, as if she was complaining to someone else.

"You said he was a lucky star, but I think he is the reincarnation of a disaster star. Master, you still want to take him back, what a waste of time and energy."

"Stop talking, the master is here." A sound of footsteps on the snow was heard nearby, followed by two women respectfully answering something.

"Hey, what's going on? Another one?"

But the mechanical voice was like a seizure, answering irrelevant questions

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for getting the first piece of dog food. Congratulations. Please keep up the good work.] After saying that, he completely shut up the microphone and didn't say another word.

“What the hell is this…” the man whispered, trying to call up the system again.

The next moment, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, followed by a pair of strong and powerful hands hugging his small body, and an angry snort from someone stamping their feet on the snow...
