The familiar face she had been thinking about for decades, the man she had been waiting for, the man who could bring her revenge and lead her out of the quagmire—

Gu Xinchen.

"Xinchen?" Li Xiangxiang's voice trembled.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes at her: "Do you know me?"

He looked at the old lady in front of him. She was very old, poorly dressed, with white hair and many wrinkles on her face. But she did look somewhat familiar...

Gu Xinchen couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"It's me, I'm Xiangxiang, Li Xiangxiang!" Her voice was still trembling.

"It's you?!" Gu Xinchen was not surprised at all. Instead, he immediately glared at her with hatred in his eyes.

Li Xiangxiang was stunned.

"How dare you appear in front of me?! If it weren't for you, how could I have fallen to this point?!" Gu Xinchen raised his voice, his face full of resentment.

"W-what?" Li Xiangxiang stuttered.

Only then did she carefully look at the man in front of her. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, but Li Xiangxiang knew that he was actually only one year older than her.

The high spirits of those days have long disappeared, and there is no calmness and arrogance on his face. Instead, there is only the decadence and gloom of years of struggling at the bottom. His clothes are still cheap goods, and he is a little bald.

——He was not having a good time either.

Sure enough, Gu Xinchen said——

"If you hadn't been encouraging me to cause trouble for Li Baizhi, why would my family have sent me abroad? Why did I end up living such a miserable life there? I finally came back, and I've lost my home, my status as a young master, everything, all because of you! I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you dare to show up in front of me again?!"

He reeked of alcohol and had a very bad smell all over his body.

——A real old man.

"You keep blaming me?! If you hadn't kept saying that it would be easy to deal with Li Baizhi, I wouldn't have believed you so much, and ended up causing so many troubles! I was fired just because I went to pick you up!" Li Xiangxiang was also angry, staring at him with wide eyes.

She has had a very hard time these years, but she still has an expectation in her heart - waiting for her Xinchen to come back and save her.

Now her last expectation was shattered, and even Gu Xinchen's current appearance broke the most beautiful memory in her heart. Li Xiangxiang's face was filled with despair, pain and hatred.

But more of it is... regret.

Why did she go against Bai Zhi? Why did she end up like this?

Although her glory was overshadowed by Bai Zhi back then, she was still one of the only two college students who could enter the capital!

"It was you who wanted to pick me up! If you hadn't been there, I would have lived a good life! I'm still a student of Peking University. Even if the Gu family failed, I could still live a good life!" Gu Xinchen roared in hatred.

He hated Li Baizhi, but Li Baizhi was too high up in the hierarchy for him to hate her, so he could only hate Li Xiangxiang in his heart.

What a glorious life it was for students at Peking University back then. Under the leadership of Li Baizhi, Peking University students worked hard and later did very well in every industry and were highly respected.

Look at him again?

He went to the countryside to Lijia Village and met Li Baizhi. At that time, Li Baizhi liked him. He had so many connections with the great man, but because of Li Xiangxiang...

Thinking of this, Gu Xinchen rushed towards Li Xiangxiang and wanted to hit her.

Li Xiangxiang wailed and backed away, cursing as she went. Passersby came up to stop her, and the scene became a scene of chaos.

Not far away, Bai Zhi rolled down the car window and watched calmly.

The award ceremony took place last night, and the TV was showing a replay today. That was why Bai Zhi was able to sit in the car and watch this scene calmly.

System 444's surprised voice echoed in his mind: "You didn't do anything to deal with them later. How could they have gotten themselves into this state?"

In the early years, Bai Zhi devoted herself to developing the country's science and technology. System 444 kept reminding her to complete the task, but she ignored it.

I didn't expect that after so many years, these two people are living a life worse than death.

This is much better than killing them in the first place!

Bai Zhi calmly gestured to the driver to start driving and replied calmly, "Ever since I learned that the Gu family had driven Gu Xinchen abroad, I knew that he, Li Xiangxiang, and the Li family were doomed to fail. This is determined by their personalities."

So, there is no need to pay any more attention to them.

After thinking about it, Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows——

"In the original owner's life experience, after her death, didn't Gu Xinchen and Li Xiangxiang live well? One graduated from Peking University, the other a teacher. Although the Gu family would fall into decline later, they had laid a good foundation for Gu Xinchen before. Li Xiangxiang had no hatred or jealousy towards me, so she wouldn't reveal the ugliness deep in her heart. As long as Gu Xinchen remained powerful, she would live a happy life with him, right?

"The third son of the Li family is resourceful and courageous, and the eldest and second sons of the Li family listen to him very much. If Gu Xinchen promotes him, he will lead his two brothers to a good life. Hmm... let me think, if he wasn't disabled, he might go into business. With his background and skills, the ending of the Li family would be very good."

But because of her arrival, the Li family's future was cut off from the very beginning, which aroused Li Xiangxiang's hatred and jealousy.

So the final result is earth-shaking.

System 444: “…” This is really the original ending.

It was silent for a long moment before it said, "Host...isn't your emotional quotient only 70?"

This is fucking awesome!!

"Let me reiterate, my IQ is 230." Bai Zhi curled her lips and smiled, "This is just the beginning, 444, are you ready?"

System 444 trembled, and then an inexplicable excitement arose in it, and it was vaguely looking forward to the next world.

The car gradually disappeared from sight.

Bai Zhi passed away suddenly at the age of eighty.

The weather was very good that day. A month ago, she had just developed a new type of weapon. As long as she had such a weapon, China's position as the world hegemon would never be shaken until other countries conquered it.

Celebrate together.

The whole of China is filled with joy and pride. It took them less than a century to go from backwardness to hegemony. That is the pride of every Chinese!

In China, what all people admire most are scientists. They respect all those who make this country better and stronger.

The night before, the news just reported that the top leader visited Academician Li Baizhi and had dinner with her.

The next afternoon, she seemed to have sensed something and said to the orderly who was taking care of her:

"When the time comes, please send me back to my hometown and bury me next to my family. Thank you."

She also took out her will. The welfare benefits for scientists in China are very good, so her legacy is very rich, and there are countless patents.

The people in this country have a very high standard of living, and almost everything they need, whether it is daily life or medical care, is guaranteed by the state.

Therefore, all of Baizhi's legacy was donated to the country to continue being used for scientific research.

At the same time, she also released a previously recorded video on the Internet, which was also her last speech. Lying on the hospital bed with a smile, she described countless future scientific research directions and breakthroughs to all Chinese people.

——Just like her speech at the opening ceremony of Kyoto University.

That was her first appearance in public. The scientific research directions and breakthroughs she described made the entire Peking University flourish. Peking University students avoided detours and achieved amazing results, opening up an era.

This was her last appearance in public and her last speech, which enabled her motherland to continue to prosper for hundreds of years to come, always be at the forefront of the world, and usher in another era.

Then she smiled and closed her eyes.

The whole country is in grief.

Some scientists burst into tears while watching the video, and many people across the country also cried inconsolably.

Everyone was immersed in the grief of losing Academician Li Baizhi, and no one noticed——

In a dilapidated house in Lijia Village, an old man drank alcohol and fell to the ground. The alcohol spilled onto the wiring, causing a fire. He burned himself to death, and at the same time, he burned to death a dirty old lady lying in the dark room.

These days, medical care is free, the elderly have welfare benefits, and almost anyone who is willing to work can live a good life. Therefore, it is rare to find people living in such poverty and dirt.

And they are Gu Xinchen and Li Xiangxiang.

After the fight, the two unmarried old men and women got together with hatred for each other. Li Xiangxiang thought that she was old and hoped that Gu Xinchen could take care of her a little.

Gu Xinchen, however, hopes to have a free nanny at home.

The two have been insulting and torturing each other over the years and living the worst life.

As luck would have it, both of them lived to be eighty years old.

The country's top leader saw Bai Zhi off, and the two were burned to death quietly in Lijia Village without anyone knowing.

"Is this your system space?" Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows.

There was nothing around, just a vast expanse of white, with no end in sight and nothing to be seen.

"Yes, host, you can imagine some things, such as a house, some flowers and plants, etc. Here, as long as you imagine, your soul can have everything!" System 444 said with pride and temptation.

In the previous world, it was suppressed by Baizhi.

Now, it's its turn to shock Baizhi.

But Bai Zhi nodded and said calmly: "Consciousness construction."

"W-what?"

"It's similar to building dreams, using consciousness to construct the world, or it can be said to be the cyberspace of consciousness." Now she looks like her original self, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

She pushed up her glasses, her eyes gleaming with madness. "Your Creator is truly amazing. I've always believed that humans don't have souls. You're not bound to a soul, but to a consciousness. I'm here because my consciousness is here. This body, like this space, is illusory."

A mirror appeared in front of him, reflecting the young face in the mirror.

"Look, if there is a soul, why does it look young? Does the soul have no age? Or does the consciousness have no age? I believe it is the consciousness."

She pushed up her glasses again, her voice quickening a bit, "Amazing! Your Creator is truly amazing. It can capture our consciousness and manipulate its execution. It must understand all the secrets of consciousness!"

"System, can't you really let me meet your creator?" She looked at System 444.

System 444: “…………” It was stunned!

After a while, it came back to its senses and swallowed its saliva: "...I have never seen the Creator. Perhaps if you work hard to complete the task and get enough points, you may be able to see the Creator."

His voice was a little weak, and there was no trace of the pride he had just shown off.

Oh my god, shouldn't the host be marveling at the wonders of the system space? Why is he trying to analyze it?! Or is he acting like he's about to discuss technology with the Creator?!

——This host is so scary!!

After hearing this, Bai Zhi was a little disappointed, but she had only completed one world, which was indeed not enough to explore the secrets of the system space.

She moved her hand, and the mirror in front of her disappeared. The entire space turned into a laboratory, exactly like Bai Zhi's exclusive laboratory in her world.

Seeing this, 444 couldn't help but shudder again.

"Let's start the next world." Bai Zhi said.

444: "...Don't worry, first look at the rating of the previous world. You only have zero points now. If you fail, you will be wiped out."

After a pause, it continued, "Points are very important. You should know that you can redeem points for anything. They will be beneficial to your next world, helping you pass levels and enter the top 100, as well as the top 100 leaderboard."

At this point, a large screen appeared in front of him with a hundred names on it.

Except for the first place which has one digit more than the second place, the others are all biting off points, sometimes going up and down, obviously they have earned points, or spent points on consumption.

The last one is - Female Supporting System 761, host Zheng Yue, points 1910.

444 looked at the Hundred People Ranking with envy, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that our wish system has never made it to the Hundred People Ranking..."

"Why?" Bai Zhi asked.

"The ratings are all given by the original owner, because our task is to help the original owner fulfill their wish. It's not as absolute as other systems where you get points for completing the task. This is more subjective, and it depends on how many points the original owner is willing to give. Sometimes you obviously complete it very well, but the original owner is not satisfied and will not give a high score. This is why our wish system has always been unpopular." 444 was being very honest at this moment, because Baizhi was bound to it and could not run away.

"What about the original owner?" Bai Zhi asked again.

Before summoning the original owner, System 444 said, "Host, be prepared. The original owner might not be very satisfied. You should know that you have been doing your own things for almost all these years. You only dealt with Li Xiangxiang's family at the beginning, and later focused on scientific research. Perhaps the original owner will not give you a high score..."

I don’t know why, but when I think about Baizhi failing and being eliminated, 444 feels a little reluctant.

And it even felt that Baizhi would succeed.

That was how the world was in the past. This woman with an emotional intelligence of only 70 had never failed before, and she was so scared just now that she just wanted to call for her mother.

As soon as the words fell, a woman appeared in front of Bai Zhi.

——Li Baizhi.

Before she and the system could see clearly, Li Baizhi rushed over, holding Baizhi's hand, with an excited look on her face——

"Academician Bai Zhi! Hello! You are truly amazing. I admire you so much. You have led our Chinese scientists from..."

Her face was full of excitement and she received endless praises.

Baizhi and system 444 stopped at the same time.

Hmm, kind of familiar.

In that world just now, the little fans of Academician Li Baizhi all had this reaction when they saw her...

"100 points! Of course it's full marks!" Li Baizhi's voice was still a little guilty. "It's a pity that I can only give a maximum of 100 points, otherwise I would definitely give the academician 10,000 points! No, 10 million points, countless points!!"

Bai Zhi: "...You're welcome."

After finishing the scoring, Li Baizhi still had a lot to say, but it was obvious that the system space would not keep her any longer. Her body gradually faded and then disappeared.

Only one sentence left——

“You are so great!!”

444 fell silent.

Bai Zhi: "So I got a perfect score, and then there's the system rating, right?"

444 regained his composure and couldn't help rubbing his hands together, a little excited. "Since the original owner gave you 100 points, that means your evaluation is at least A, maybe even S. If it's A, I can get 90 points. If it's S, that's 100 points!!"

Bai Zhi: "Oh."

444: "..." Isn't this reaction a bit too bland?

But it was excited, rubbing its hands again and looking at the screen expectantly.

Can I get an S?

Soon, words appeared on the screen.

However, the moment he saw it clearly, System 444's eyes widened!!
