The scene in front of her made Yun Que'er couldn't help recalling the situation when she first arrived.
Time travel used to be just a fictional plot in novels. But with the development of technology, this technology was finally realized. However, everything has a beginning, and this technology was just an experiment. It was said that the company that developed the technology only selected a few people's systems and installed the function of time travel in them. Coincidentally, Yun Que'er was "lucky" enough to be selected for this big prize.
Yun Que'er had read countless books. She had seen so many time - travelers in novels. Some became wealthy young ladies after time - traveling, while others became the unfavored legitimate daughters of some prime minister's mansions. But she herself had ended up in this in - between era. What kind of luck was this?!
Yun Que'er sighed, walked onto the bridge, and leaned on the railing, looking at the rippling river below.
"How tragic..." Yun Que'er murmured softly.
From the moment she landed in this world, it was destined that her time - travel trip wouldn't go smoothly.
Sure enough, within just a few days of her arrival, a whole bunch of things had happened.
Yun Que'er was a bit distressed and slowly squatted down.
First, there were the village head and Liu Kui, who were even worse than hooligans in the market. Then there was Ji Chengxuan, who kept pestering her with questions. It was really driving her crazy.
Yun Que'er propped her chin and thought hard. Suddenly, she had an idea: why not end this trip early?
Actually, when she first time - traveled, Yun Que'er couldn't quite accept the reality.
But then she thought that since she was here, she should just accept it. After all, it was the arrangement of fate.
Moreover, there was no one in the other world for her to miss. Yun Que'er was an orphan and had grown up in an orphanage. After she became an adult, the uncles and aunts who had taken care of her in her childhood had either retired or passed away. There was nothing left for her to worry about. So, it didn't really matter to her which world she was in.
On the contrary, when she first arrived, she was a bit greedy for the warmth from her family in this world. But now, Yun Que'er was starting to have second thoughts.
Because she found that some things were beyond her control. The system she carried with her wouldn't give her a golden finger to easily solve all problems.
Those heroines with built - in buffs only existed in fictional novels, not her.
Yun Que'er let out a long sigh, glanced in the direction of home, and said silently in her heart.
Thank you for taking care of me these days, but maybe we just don't have the fate. If there's a chance, we'll meet again in the future.
Yun Que'er pressed the center of her eyebrows, brought up the blue screen, and selected the intelligent voice customer - service function she had never used before.
A sweet and gentle female voice sounded, "Dear master, nice to meet you. May I ask what your needs are?"
"I want to end this trip early!" Yun Que'er said eagerly, "How can I go back?"
"Please wait a moment, master." The system customer - service entered the automatic query state.
After a while, the voice customer - service replied.
"Sorry, master. You don't meet the conditions to end the trip for now."
"What?" Yun Que'er jumped up, "What kind of crazy system is this? How can there be a time - travel system that doesn't allow you to go back!"
"Sorry, the final interpretation right belongs to the system developer."
"Damn it!" Yun Que'er was furious.
What a final interpretation right!
Why didn't she pay more attention to the terms in the contract when she got this system? Now it was all over! With just a single sentence, they had refuted all her arguments.
Sure enough, free things weren't easy to get.
"What should I do then?" Yun Que'er asked anxiously.
Three lines of text appeared on the screen, and the customer - service said.
"If master can complete the following three tasks, you can end the trip early. First, start the challenge mode and complete the specified tasks according to the system's requirements. Second, use the system's functions reasonably according to the specifications and don't use the system to do things that violate morality and law. Third, master needs to upgrade the system to level three. After completing the above three tasks, master can end the time - travel at any time or choose to stay."
Yun Que'er stared blankly at the screen. The second task seemed easy to complete. After all, she was a good citizen. Even if she was given a knife, she wouldn't use it to kill someone.
But what the hell were the first and third tasks?
What was the challenge mode? What was level three? Why had she never heard of them before?
"What does this all mean?"
The screen switched to another picture like a PPT.
"The so - called challenge mode means that the system will issue commands to master from time to time. Master needs to complete the tasks according to the system's instructions. For example: help an old lady cross the road, mow the grass for a neighbor's child, earn a certain amount of living expenses, etc. However, the tasks that master needs to complete will be randomly selected by the system and cannot be decided by master. And once the challenge mode is started, master cannot refuse until the tasks are completed. As for the system upgrade, it depends on master's luck value. When the luck - value progress bar exceeds a certain amount, the upgrade can be completed."
Yun Que'er was completely confused. It took her a while to finally understand.
Great, this was just a bunch of overbearing terms!
What the hell challenge mode! In the end, it was just the system randomly issuing instructions, and she couldn't refuse!
And what was this luck value? She had never heard of it!
Wasn't it just about the favorability value?
"What if I don't do these things? How can I leave?" Yun Que'er asked persistently.
"If master doesn't need to end the time - travel early, you can leave after the host's life ends."
Yun Que'er's eyes lit up. That was great! There were so many ways to die, like jumping into a river or hanging oneself. Which one wouldn't work?
Although Yun Que'er was a bit scared, as long as she died, she could go back.
However, as soon as this thought came to her mind, the system seemed to know what she was thinking and a red warning light flashed.
"Attention! Master cannot endanger the life safety of the host. You need to wait until the host dies of natural causes."
"What!" Yun Que'er was almost driven crazy, "How old will she live to?"
A line of text slowly appeared on the screen: Eighty years old.
Yun Que'er gasped and almost had a heart attack on the spot.
She plopped down on the ground. Was this a joke?
The original owner's body was only seven years old, which meant she had to live here for another seventy - three years. Why did this person have such a long life?
The system gave another prompt, "Since master has borrowed Yun Que'er's body, please live a good life for her. We should cherish everyone's life."
Yun Que'er was on the verge of tears. She regretted that she shouldn't have accepted this system in the first place, and she shouldn't have won the fifth - level prize!
She thought she had picked up a big bargain, but in fact, she had suffered a great loss...
Yun Que'er looked miserable and asked, "Is there no room for negotiation?"
"Sorry, this is all your own choice."
She deserved it!
Yun Que'er was so angry that she tugged at her pigtails. Well, it was her own choice after all.
