After Zhu Hao returned to the mansion that day, he asked people to prepare for his mother's funeral, and he stayed in front of the spirit for three days in a row, not seeing anyone.

Under normal circumstances, the royal tomb must be carried out as Concubine Liu, but Zhu Hao thinks that his mother has been in the palace all her life, and her life is trembling and unhappy.

Therefore, Zhu Hao drove away all the people in the palace who came to prepare for Concubine Liu's funeral, and Zhu Hao wanted to personally hold a funeral for his mother and not be buried in the royal mausoleum.

While Zhu Hao was guarding the spirit of his mother, he was also waiting for the system upgrade to be completed, he had too many things he didn't understand, and he wanted to ask the system elf Xiaoling.

It wasn't until the night of the third night that the system's prompt finally appeared:

"Ding!"

"System upgrade complete!"

"Congratulations to the host system for entering its second phase!"

After Zhu Hao heard this prompt, he didn't think about his haggard face for the past few days, and immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted in his heart:

"Xiaoling! Xiaoling, can you hear me? ”

After a while, Zhu Hao heard Xiao Ling's somewhat lazy voice and said:

"Huh? Well! ”

"Master, are you calling me?"

"What time has it been, why haven't you rested?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow morning!"

Zhu Hao listened to Xiao Ling's words, and suddenly had a feeling that he was about to vomit blood, and he immediately retorted:

"You're still sleeping?"

"You've slept all this long, and you haven't slept enough?"

"Besides, you're a system elf, do you need to sleep?"

"Answer my question!"

Listening to Zhu Hao's dissatisfied words, Xiao Ling still said in the tone that did not wake up:

"Master, this is your fault!"

"You need to sleep, Xiao Ling naturally needs to sleep, don't you think Xiao Ling is an equal creature?"

"Humph!"

"The master looks down on me, I'm angry!"

Zhu Hao listened to Xiao Ling's complaining tone, and even burst into a foul voice:

"I'll go! You're going to become a sperm! ”

"Do system elves have such high intelligence?"

"This TNND is a realistic version of a brutal girl!"

Zhu Hao's words were actually the secret slander in his heart, but he didn't expect that he had just finished slandering, so Xiao Ling continued to say in a tone that did not wake up:

"Cut! Master, you are so rare and weird! ”

"I'm a living being in my own right!"

"Forget it, I won't tell you this!"

"Oh! By the way, master, you'd better not whisper bad things about Xiaoling, because as long as Xiaoling wants to, all the words of your psychology Xiaoling can be known! ”

Zhu Hao listened to Xiao Ling's words, and suddenly felt a chill on his back, which gave him the illusion that he was now standing naked in front of a delicate girl, this feeling made Zhu Hao no longer dare to think nonsense, but directly asked the question in his heart.

Zhu Hao asked directly:

"Xiaoling, let me ask you, my mother is dead now, why is the task of that system completed?"

"It's been less than three years now, so it stands to reason that it should be judged to be a failure!"

"And your sleep time should also be three years, why did you wake up early after the mission was completed?"

"Tell me quickly, for more than a year, without you, I have been pitted by this system very miserably!"

Xiao Ling listened to Zhu Hao's words, and was silent for a long time before she said:

"There are four completion criteria for this first phase of the systematic story mission."

"The first criterion is that the guardianship period is three years."

"The second criterion is that the guardian target cannot die."

"The third criterion is to complete three rescues of the guardian target."

"The fourth criterion is that the guardian target is self-defeating!"

"Completing two of the four criteria is considered to be the completion of the mission!"

"The first two standards are explicit and the last two are implicit."

"The explicit standard is the completion standard that will appear when the task appears, and the implicit standard is that there will not be any prompt when the task appears, and only the master will know when you complete the task!"

Zhu Hao listened to Xiaoling's explanation, and suddenly understood that he had completed the implicit standards of the last two by mistake, and indeed he had rescued his mother three times:

The first time was when his father had just died, and he was framed by Guo Zixuan, the Marquis of Pingnan, but fortunately, Mengdie let his mother escape.

The second time was when he went to Zhejiang last time, when his mother was trapped in the palace and almost starved to death for the Hakka family.

The third time, needless to say, was held hostage by Wei Zhongxian a few days ago.

Zhu Hao thought about this implicit completion standard, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, his mother's death made Zhu Hao not have much excitement about the awakening of the system elf Xiaoling, and his heart had already been diluted by sadness.

When Zhu Hao was immersed in pain, Xiao Ling, the system elf, did not stop her explanation, but continued:

"As for my slumber time, it's a bit more complicated!"

"First of all, let's explain to the master, the phased system story mission!"

"The so-called phased system plot tasks are the tasks before the system upgrade, and only after completing the phased system plot tasks can the system be upgraded to the next stage!"

"Master, this task you just completed is the first stage of the system story mission!"

"There are two types of phased system plot tasks before the system upgrade, the first is the explicit phased system plot task, and the second is the implicit phased system plot task."

"The difference is that for explicit phased system story missions, the master will get a lot of rewards from the system, while implicit phased system story missions"

"Take the task just completed by the master as an example, if the master does not accept this phased system story task, then as long as two of these tasks are completed, the system will also enter the upgrade stage, and in this case, the implicit phased system task has been completed."

"And my sleep time is related to this stage of the system task!"

"If you, master, accept the explicit phased system task, then I will go into a period of sleep until the task is completed!"

"If the master does not accept the explicit phased system task, but completes the implicit phased system task, then I will not have a sleeping period, and of course the master will not be able to get any rewards for the phased system task!"

"At that time, the system told the master that my sleep period was three years, because the default master was judged according to the explicit completion conditions!"

"My early awakening is because the master mistakenly completed the hidden task conditions, resulting in the early completion of the phased system tasks, so I also woke up in advance after the system upgrade was completed!"
