Xin Sui transmigrated into a cannon fodder character in an apocalyptic novel who wouldn't survive past chapter one. She started with a hellish mode.
The system also instructed her to redu...
"Bang!"
Li Beibei kicked open Xin Sui's door, walked in, and fanned her nose in disgust.
"Fifth Sister, I heard you've been staying indoors these past two days. I've come to see you."
"Tsk, this room smells terrible because of you."
Li Beibei walked to the bedside and directly pulled off Xin Sui's blanket.
"Oh, still asleep? I'm starting to admire you. You didn't actually think you could avoid the family's ability awakening test by hiding inside, did you? Hehehe..."
Li Beibei chuckled to herself for a while, then opened the window again.
"Hurry up and get up. Dad asked me to call you. We can't do without you today, no one else can be missing."
"Didn't you always brag to me about having a great older brother? You even said you'd awaken a superpower as powerful as Li Bate's someday. I've been waiting to see your superpower for a long time."
Xin Sui, lying on the bed, sat up as if he had risen from the dead, staring straight at Li Beibei.
Li Beibei felt a little uneasy under her gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xin Sui lowered her eyes, rubbed her face, and wandered into the bathroom like a lost soul.
She lay in bed like a corpse for three days.
Three whole days.
She spent the rest of those three days in bed, except for taking nutritional supplements and going to the toilet.
The reason was simple: the experience that night left her with a deep psychological scar.
If Li Beibei hadn't come to find her, she could have continued lying there.
The system didn't dare to show itself for the past three days, let alone issue her any tasks.
Seeing that she was already up, he cautiously said:
[Host, once you complete the main quest, you can be reborn in your world. Keep going, a bright future awaits you.]
"Ha, a bright future? I can't even achieve freedom to use water right now, so what future can I talk about?"
"I can tolerate not flushing after using the toilet, since the bottom of the toilet is directly connected to the underground pit downstairs."
"I can tolerate the sand instead of water for washing my hands. After all, this kind of sand is as fine as snow and salt. At least I can feel some psychological comfort by rubbing my hands in it."
"I tolerated the fact that they used salt thorn leaves as a substitute for brushing my teeth, just to experience the life of the ancients for once."
"But! How the hell am I supposed to stand not being able to take a shower?"
Especially since the daytime temperature here is so high, you can sweat even if you sit still.
Even though the original owner was a young lady of the Li family, her daily water usage was limited. Apart from drinking, the rest was only enough for her to wipe herself down.
After staying there for a few days, she felt like she smelled bad.
[Host, as long as you complete the mission well, not only water, but even spiritual springs won't be a problem.]
"A spiritual spring? The kind of spiritual spring in novels where drinking from it can cleanse the marrow, prolong life, and have many other benefits?"
[That's right.]
Xin Sui's heart, which had been like a stagnant pool, suddenly surged with waves.
That makes sense. The system can grant an ordinary person like her the heaven-defying power of "immortality," so it's not so unbelievable that she could take out the spiritual spring.
After being killed by Xuan Tu six times, she didn't want to see him again, let alone do any missions. The system also got to the point and didn't bother her for the past few days.
But right now, who cares? Getting real benefits is the most important thing.
"System, come on, mission."
[The mission cannot be triggered because the host is too far from the mission target.]
Xin Sui: "..."
After leaving the bathroom, Xin Sui found a set of thin long-sleeved shirts and trousers in the original owner's wardrobe.
Cut off the sleeves and pant legs with a dagger, and you'll have a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
She had no problem with Li Beibei's style of dress, but felt it made her feel very insecure.
What if the strapless top and short skirt suddenly fall down if you move too vigorously?
That would be too awkward.
"I'm going to change my clothes, you can leave." Xin Sui looked at Li Beibei and pointed towards the door.
Li Beibei's eyes turned strange. "You're changing clothes, so what? Are you afraid I'll see?"
Xin Sui stared at her expressionlessly.
Li Beibei had no choice but to get up: "Alright, alright, my innocent little sister, I'll go out now, okay?"
Not long after, Xin Sui, having changed her clothes, opened the door and went out. "Let's go."
To be at the forefront.
The Li family's house is a five-story building, constructed by an ancestor who awakened the ability to solidify sand, using five-colored sand.
The main body of the house is white, with red decorative patterns interspersed throughout.
The interior is dominated by blue, green and yellow, with bright and intense colors. The walls are also decorated with colorful seashells, pebbles and even plants, creating a rough style with a strange beauty.
The intense sunlight streamed in from one side of the corridor, and Xin Sui broke into a sweat after walking for a short while, but she didn't feel hot; on the contrary, she even enjoyed it.
The scalding temperature made her truly feel that she was still alive and walking among humans.
The place for testing supernatural abilities is the ancestral hall at the back of the first floor.
When Xin Sui arrived, there were already quite a few people standing in the corridor outside the ancestral hall.
"Oh, look who's here? Our Fifth Miss has finally deigned to come out of her room?"
"Second brother, you're wrong. I think Li Xueli is too scared to come out at all. She's hiding in her room like a coward."
“What did Li Xueli say before? I’m sure I can awaken a superpower, and it will be a superpower that’s stronger than any of yours.”
"And the result? Li Xueli, show us your superpowers, let us all see just how amazing your awakened superpowers really are."
Xin Sui looked at the group of young men and women in front of her, all of whom were the original owner's brothers and sisters. They all had mocking faces, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Xin Sui's expression remained unchanged, and his heart was completely unmoved.
Having faced life and death several times, the mockery of this group of people was as insignificant to her as a drizzle.
"Oh dear, can't you see that Fifth Sister is in a bad mood because she hasn't awakened her superpower? You're just rubbing salt into her wounds. Go away, go away, go away and stay somewhere else."
Li Beibei, acting like a good older sister, stood up to protect Xin Sui.
However, this actually confirmed the fact that "Li Xueli" had not awakened any superpowers.
Now, the group looked at Xin Sui with even more schadenfreude and burst into laughter.
Seeing Xin Sui's indifferent expression, without the slightest hint of anger, their laughter quickly faded.
fall!
The people involved didn't seem to realize they were being ridiculed at all, which made them look very embarrassed.
The group of leaders exchanged glances, all feeling puzzled. Had Li Xueli been driven mad by something? Was she holding back a powerful move?
At this moment, the head of the family, Li's father, appeared, followed by a string of people.
Xin Sui glanced at them and then looked away. They seemed like background characters, and he couldn't be bothered to match them up with the people in his memory one by one.
The Li family head and his entourage entered the ancestral hall, and after some unknown ritual was performed inside, Xin Sui suddenly felt an invisible aura spreading outwards.
