Ellie: "The reason Xuer is like this is the same as I said, because he sees you as a protagonist when you made the agreement."
"And while you were returning, he took the memories of your enemies and friends and sealed them in his body."
"Thus, when you wish for a specific person, you will recall everything up to the minute of their death."
Shen Bing felt grateful for this situation but still didn't understand one thing.
Shen Bing: "Why?"
Ellie: "Because you are one of the chosen protagonists, he only sealed the memories and didn't bring the person like in your situation."
"So they didn't return with you, but since this is a single-line world, the people you know are still the same."
"He didn't open a parallel universe, when you returned that one was destroyed."
"The specific reason he did this was because as a spectator he thought it would be boring to watch you torturing your enemies."
"Or killing them without them understanding why you did it."
"He always finds revenge more satisfying when the person clearly knows what shit they did."
"Well, maybe the master is a little sadistic, you two are really a good match."
Shen Bing didn't understand the insinuation at the end and just thought she was praising her for being similar to her master.
But she wondered if she was sadistic.
After several images passed through her mind, she thought that maybe she was a sadistic person toward her enemies.
But she wouldn't go around killing randomly without reason.
At least no one was left alive to complain.
(Last living beings of the empire: yes, yes.)
She might not have understood, but her parents did, and they almost jumped with joy but it would be impolite.
So they connected what she said about having a chance and became more certain.
But to be sure they needed the answer, so Shen Xuan looked at his wife.
And she understood her husband's look.
So getting up from the chair and taking a step forward, she asked respectfully.
Xiao Yu: "Hello artifact spirit…"
But before she could speak, Ellie interrupted.
Ellie: "Not artifact spirit, sister Ellie."
Xiao Yu was also a bit speechless, but still spoke.
Xiao Yu: "Sister Ellie, my daughter probably doesn't have any more questions, may I ask in her place?"
Ellie looked at Shen Bing and seeing that she had no objections, agreed.
Ellie: "Yes, please speak."
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and asked: "It may seem impolite and sorry if we are touching on a delicate subject."
"You also don't have to answer, but please don't blame Shen Bing, she didn't know about this."
When Ellie was getting curious and Shen Bing was thinking of stopping her mother, she spoke first.
"We would like to know what was the mistake that made Shen Bing be chosen?"
"We heard it was your mistake so we would like to know."
When she finished speaking she held her breath and looked nervously at Ellie.
Why did they want to know this so much?
This would affect how they would be treated in the future.
They didn't believe there was any merchant who didn't charge more for their products.
Mortal merchants are like that between countries, imagine one who travels through thousands of worlds.
They don't know what the points are used for by him, but if they are useful they don't think he wouldn't want them.
Naturally, just like money, merchants want more and he should too.
If this theory is correct, even if it's only a chance, they shouldn't be heavily exploited.
At least not as much as the others since she is a possible wife, right?
Of course judging that the logic is correct.
Ellie fell silent and when those words were said everyone held their breath.
The air in the office became heavier as if something big was about to happen.
But after Ellie stared at Xiao Yu wordlessly she spoke, breaking the strange atmosphere.
Ellie: "Why do you want to know this?"
Xiao Yu: "It's very important if it's what we think, please."
Then she bowed forward without looking at Ellie anymore.
Ellie was speechless and couldn't follow her line of reasoning.
How could a mistake be important?
Ellie: "Actually it's not something very exaggerated or shameful."
"It also doesn't hold any big secret of the shop so I can tell."
Saying that she put her hand on her forehead and started speaking.
"Actually until now I still don't understand why it was marked as an error."
"Even though it was intentional and I clearly did it for your own good."
"But it's treated as an error."
"Anyway life is hard."
Hearing Ellie's conversation, Shen Bing also started to get curious about this error.
Actually she wasn't that curious before since she hadn't paid attention and didn't even want to ask to avoid ruining the relationship.
But when her mother asked and she didn't mind, naturally she became curious.
Ellie: "Actually, to understand this you need to understand that for each world we have different situations and different treatments between people."
"For example, there are worlds where the system chooses thousands of users."
"So the fight for points may not be big in the early stage, but the more points they need, the more fighting occurs."
"Because in those worlds it's more like gu raising."
"The system there is released to identify other users and rob everything from the dead."
"Well, almost everything, you don't steal relationships."
"You can understand up to this part that for those worlds we don't have any special person in them."
"So we just want whoever can make more points, understand?"
"Yes" (x4) everyone answered together.
"This is one of the ways we treat the non-specials."
"Now there are worlds with specials."
"The specials are like protagonists of a series."
"A way to relieve the master's boredom when he has nothing to do."
"The final winners of the gu raising world may look a bit special but they only look like it."
"The treatment is incomparable."
"Besides not being exploited to the extreme like the others."
"You may even receive investments if the master is satisfied with your performance."
"For example, a discount on certain products, some special ability among others."
"And you, you are a special person Shen Bing."
"Me???" Shen Bing pointed to herself.
Ellie nodded.
"Yes, but you should thank me because it was because of my 'error' that you entered the master's field of vision."
"The final reason for the error was simple, in my opinion I was afraid that my master would stay alone forever."
"So when I was marking possible system users I marked his preferences whether in appearance, personality, etc."
With that, Ellie pointed at Shen Bing.
"And you are one of the 5 lucky ones, the other 4 haven't been found yet."
"You are one of the great candidates to be the master's wife, applause."
With that, without waiting for their reaction, she herself produced several clapping sounds and confetti burst out.
Even being only a projection, she thought the atmosphere was good.
However after a moment the parents started clapping, they had only confirmed their suspicion, so they weren't that shocked.
Xuer saw the two clapping and also clapped.
The one who was really shocked was Shen Bing.
She quickly asked.
"How so???"
Ellie stopped the special effects.
Explained properly.
"Don't be shocked or happy too early, a candidate is only a candidate."
"If my master were someone lustful who only thinks with the lower part you would already be sleeping in his bed."
"He cares more about feelings, the system chose you because you meet the chosen criteria."
"But that doesn't mean my master loves you, he isn't that superficial."
"In the end you're only at the best tier of specials."
"You haven't developed any feelings for the master and the master doesn't have any for you."
"At most he thinks you're fun and pretty, your physical traits match his taste."
"But that's not enough."
"I think he sees you as someone very pretty with similar tastes."
Shen Bing: ???
She regretted not stopping her mother, she didn't want to know this kind of information.
She doesn't know the future, but as Ellie said now she has no feelings for him.
Just like he also doesn't have any for her.
Ellie: "Alright I think you will have a lot to talk about so I'm leaving."
"But before going I want to explain one thing and make it clear."
"My master is not an old monster who lived billions of years, he is quite handsome in appearance."
"And he will become even more handsome after waking up this time."
"And last but not least he is a human man."
Ignoring the shock on everyone's faces, Ellie said goodbye and disappeared into the air.
Time passed and everyone only looked at each other in silence.
Ellie left but left a deep shock in everyone.
In the end, the only good news was that she was not against Shen Bing's development.
And possibly she was a very big ally.
