SBCEJM -Chapter 213 The System Overdid It in Court! Feng Zexuan’s First Taste of the Glamorous World

The system controlled the body and lifted its head, sweeping its gaze across the gathered civil and military officials.

That aura of keep strangers away was terrifyingly cold.

Watching through the light screen, Feng Zexuan could not help shivering.

【Holy crap, those eyes could kill people!】

【Since when did I have such domineering energy?!】

“Zhenbei King.”

The emperor’s voice rang out.

“What are your thoughts regarding the border military supplies?”

On the screen, the system paused for two seconds.

Feng Zexuan’s heart tightened.

【System, don’t freeze up! Answer already!】

“Replying to Your Majesty, this subject believes the border forces should receive an additional thirty percent in grain supplies. Furthermore, five thousand elite soldiers should be dispatched to guard the fortress…”

The system spoke in an excessively calm tone.

“In addition, the military armory should replenish three thousand crossbows, one hundred thousand arrows, and eight hundred warhorses…”

“The grain can be transferred from the three Jiangnan prefectures and delivered to the border within ten days…”

“As for troop deployment, I suggest…”

It dumped out every plan in its database, one after another, speaking with complete confidence.

The figures were precise down to single digits, and the logic was airtight like abacus beads clicking together.

The entire court was stunned.

Feng Huai’an widened his eyes so much that the court tablet in his hands nearly dropped to the floor.

His daughter had suddenly awakened?!

The Vice Minister of War stared with his mouth slightly open in disbelief.

Was this still the usually taciturn Zhenbei King?

These numbers… were far too precise!

It was as though she had spent months preparing for this!

Watching “herself” perform on the light screen, Feng Zexuan’s heartbeat accelerated.

This was way overacted!

When had she ever spoken this much normally?!

She tried calling out in her mind.

【System! Come in! Can you hear me?!】

【Tone it down already! This is way too fake!】

The moment her words fell—

Bzzzt—

A burst of white light exploded before her eyes!

Her vision switched instantly!

She was no longer watching through a screen—she had directly returned to the imperial court.

The fabric of the dragon robe brushed against her skin, the sandalwood incense in the hall entered her nose, and she could even hear the breathing of the ministers around her clearly.

【System! Can you hear me?!】

The system, currently “working” in court, suddenly heard the host’s voice in its mind.

【I hear you! So? Isn’t my world pretty great?】

【It’s amazing!】

Feng Zexuan was so excited she could barely contain herself.

【Whatever you think of instantly appears! This is way too convenient!】

【Forget my world for now!】

【You just talked way too much! You didn’t sound like me at all!】

【Sorry, sorry. I got distracted just now and accidentally activated automatic response mode…】

The system sounded guilty.

【That mode is for emergency situations. It automatically retrieves the optimal plan from the database.】

【I lost control for a moment…】

Feng Zexuan pressed a hand to her forehead.

【You’re unbelievable!】

On the dragon throne, Xiao Juechen listened to the system pretending to be Feng Zexuan. Outwardly expressionless, inwardly, he finally relaxed.

This girl had been strangely quiet today. Even “Little Bucket” had not come out to gossip.

He had thought something happened.

That was why he deliberately asked her a question.

Now that he heard the familiar inner voice, he was finally reassured.

The officials also perked up.

【Hehe, Host, do you know what our side is called?】

【Called what?】

【The Glamorous World.】

【That name fits perfectly! There are flowers everywhere—it’s like a fairyland!】

Everyone froze.

The world of the “bucket” was full of flowers?

How did the Zhenbei King know that?

Could it be… she had actually been there?

【System, in the past… were you sharing my body with me?】

【Nope! Right now we switched bodies and established a soul link, so you can synchronously sense the state of your original body.】

【Normally, I stay on our side and communicate with you through the big screen.】

The entire court sucked in cold breaths.

So…

The Zhenbei King had gone to the “bucket’s” world?

And the one currently standing in court…

Was that “Little Bucket”?!

Xiao Juechen lifted his eyes and looked toward “Feng Zexuan” standing among the officials.

That familiar face remained completely serious, staring straight ahead and standing stiffly like a wooden statue.

He narrowed his eyes.

Usually, whenever this girl attended court, her eyes darted everywhere, constantly looking around.

Since when had she ever behaved so properly?

And when answering earlier, her tone had been steady, completely lacking her usual casualness.

Combined with the “switching” mentioned in her thoughts…

He was already certain.

This one was fake.

Meanwhile, Feng Zexuan was still chatting enthusiastically with the system.

【Right, is there anything I should pay attention to?】

【Don’t casually create things!】

The system warned her.

【All those things require my energy to purchase.】

【Also, you’re currently using my body, so don’t break it!】

【Got it, got it! I’m not some destructive maniac!】

【Alright, time is precious. I won’t disturb you anymore.】

【You focus on court attendance. I’m going to explore this world a little.】

With a single thought, her vision switched back to the flower house.

Feng Zexuan took a deep breath, and suddenly a bold idea surfaced in her mind.

【Since I can fly, can I go out wandering too?】

【Maybe I’ll even meet other systems?】

【Let’s see what this legendary high-level plane is really like!】

She acted immediately.

Rushing toward the flower house door.

The door was woven from vines covered in tiny blue blossoms.

The moment she approached, the door opened automatically!

The sight outside stunned her yet again.

Beneath her feet were pure white clouds. Stepping on them felt soft and fluffy, carrying a faint sweet fragrance.

Flowers bloomed along both sides of the cloud path. Different flowers emitted different melodies, intertwining into a song.

Feng Zexuan stepped onto the cloud road.

After taking a few tentative steps, she discovered that the cloud path automatically extended along with her footsteps!

Wherever she walked, the road paved itself ahead of her!

The houses lining the road came in bizarre shapes.

Some were made of crystal, glittering beneath the sunlight. Others were literally masses of clouds, with bursts of laughter occasionally drifting out from within.

Feng Zexuan even saw a house woven entirely from starlight, gently trembling in the air.

【So many systems live here!】

After walking for around fifteen minutes, a gigantic structure appeared ahead!

It was a crystal palace!

The palace towered into the clouds, shining brilliantly beneath the sunlight. Every crystal reflected rainbows!

The palace gates stood over ten meters tall, engraved with all kinds of strange patterns.

At the entrance stood two “people”!

“Welcome to the System Exchange Center.”

The two spoke simultaneously, their voices almost identical.

Feng Zexuan froze.

【System… what is this place?】

She tried calling the system.

After shouting several times, there was still no response.

【It’s probably busy focusing on handling court matters…】

【Forget it. It’s just an exchange center. Looking around shouldn’t be a problem!】

After hesitating briefly, she still stepped inside.

The moment she crossed the threshold—

Her view suddenly opened up!

The interior of the palace was far larger than it looked from outside!

Everywhere were “people” similar to the system, each with different hair colors, eye colors, and clothing.

Some had fiery red hair, orange eyes, and clothes like burning flames.

Some had icy blue hair, pale blue eyes, and dresses resembling ice crystals.

Others had rainbow-colored hair, eyes that shifted colors depending on the angle, and dazzling multicolored outfits.

Some were chatting.

Some were looking at floating light screens displaying all kinds of data and images.

And some were… playing video games?

That’s right!

Several systems sat in a circle around a massive floating screen displaying a shooting game!

“Haha! I won again!”

“Damn it! One more round!”

“You guys are too weak! Let this system teach you what real skill looks like!”

【Holy crap!】

【Systems play video games too?!】

【And they’re even playing modern games?!】

Feng Zexuan was utterly dumbfounded.

Just then—

A blue-haired girl floated over. Her eyes were pale blue, and she wore a starry-sky dress.

“New here?”

The blue-haired girl sized her up.

“Which plane’s system are you?”

“What’s your serial number? What type of missions are you responsible for?”

Feng Zexuan stiffened.

Serial number? Mission type?

She had absolutely no idea!

【System! System! How am I supposed to answer?!】

She frantically called out in her mind, but the system was still busy “working” in court and had no time to respond.

The blue-haired girl stared at her, curiosity in her eyes gradually turning into suspicion.

“You…”

“You’re not pretending to be a system, are you?”
