Chapter 876 It's called 73 [Main storybeginning chapter]
"What's your name?"
The little girl could hardly speak clearly. She squatted in a dirty corner and asked me with her head tilted up.
I replied to her in a serious tone.
"My name is System, a system from the future, without a name"
After all, have you ever seen a creator waste time naming each of the systems that are mass-produced?
The little girl nodded vaguely and began to introduce herself. She spoke haltingly and unskillfully, but she was particularly clear when she said her own name.
"My name is Xu Xuan. The director's grandmother said my name is Xuan Xuan~"
I looked at her quietly, looking at this little host that I would need to bind to in the future.
She didn't look very smart. Her teeth were showing when she smiled, and she talked a lot. Questions kept coming one after another.
"Why don't you have a name?"
"I am the system, no one gave me a name"
"System, how can you fly? Why can't I fly?"
"Humans can't fly"
"But I want to fly! Can I touch you?"
"Can"
The little girl immediately jumped up with joy, stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hand to reach me. I looked at her tiny hands and without much thought, flew down so that she could touch me.
I don't do this because I'm patient.
But she is the host that I will be bound to in the future.
To be honest, there is no such thing as patience in the system. After all, when we were created, the creator did not expect that a system would unfortunately encounter a black hole and arrive at the wrong time.
And now, I need to stay with my little host until she is 18 years old before I can bind her.
"System, why don't you talk to me?"
She had problems again. Human cubs had so many problems.
"What do you want to say?"
She thought for a moment and began to demonstrate to me the new numbers from 1 to 10 that she had learned in school today.
"1~"
"2~"
"Shan~"
I corrected her: "Host, it's 3"
She nodded heavily, and then...
"Shan~"
I didn't say anything else because I knew it was normal for human babies to have slurred speech before they were fully developed, and even my little host didn't even have all his teeth yet.
She showed me all ten numbers like this, and then looked at me expectantly, blinking her big eyes.
I praised without any emotion.
"great"
"yeah!"
But she was very happy. She even jumped up and stomped her feet on the spot, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
She was happy alone for a while, and then suddenly asked me: "Tongtong, can I help you come up with a name?"
"Everyone has a name. Xuanxuan is called Xuanxuan, the dean's grandmother is called grandmother, and you should also have a name."
Naturally I had no objection.
Soon, she came up with a name. Should I say it, I actually felt a little excited?
"73! Can you please call me 73?"
I withdrew my excitement.
Sure enough, what kind of name would a human baby who only knows dozens of numbers be given?
"Good host"
She smiled and explained: "My name is Xu Xuan, your name is 73, we both have two-character names! We are good friends~"
I was usually calm, but for a moment I was stunned. It was not because of what the host said, but because she was so slurred that when she spoke '7' and '3', the syllables sounded very similar to the words "Xu Xuan".
Well, human cubs are still okay.
In the days that followed, I stayed by her side. At first, she would talk to me in front of other people. Later, through my constant corrections, I finally stopped facing the situation where the future host would be thrown into a mental hospital and I would most likely not be able to bind.
Under my supervision and observation, I found that she is actually very smart.
As for why she still can't speak well even though she is so old, it is actually because the other children in the welfare home isolate her.
I have checked the future life trajectory of this little host I am bound to.
Yes, that had happened to her when she was in the orphanage.
It was the isolation of these children that led to a series of misfortunes in her life later on.
So I didn't do anything about it and just watched her grow up silently.
Until one day, I saw that she had a good friend, a girl named Tang Wenwen.
I was not shocked because they were friends - I mean, in Xu Xuan's original life trajectory, Tang Wenwen was the only human cub who came into contact with her.
But what happened next shocked me.
Because there was a fire in the welfare home, but the fire was quickly put out. She ran to the director's office and spoke out in time, thus avoiding the fire.
I was silent, I was confused.
Why did her life trajectory change?
Because of her cowardly nature, she did not dare to speak even though she saw the source of the fire, thus missing the best opportunity to put out the fire, which led to the orphanage catching fire and eventually disfigured her.
—I am sure that this will be her experience when I watch the experiences of the hosts I have selected in the future.
