Chapter 156 World 6 [1]

The lifespan of evolvers is much longer than that of ordinary people, with an average lifespan of 150 years.

As the best among them, Chu Ci's life span naturally far exceeds the average. According to the examination report, there is no problem for him to live to 200 years old.

After rebuilding human civilization, Chu Ci stayed in the position of head of state for almost thirty years. After promulgating and implementing the policies he wanted to implement, he let go and handed over the power to the successor he had trained.

Jing Ke was very satisfied with Chu Ci's choice. On the day Chu Ci retired, she announced that she would start her vacation, and began a nearly century-long journey for two.

Although Jing Ke was a genius in the medical field, her weak constitution hadn't improved. Fortunately, this weakness was relative to that of an Evolved Person, and it didn't affect Jing Ke's daily activities, so she didn't take it to heart.

This time was different from many previous times. Jing Ke did not need to feel the breath of her lover disappearing slowly in her arms again. Instead, she was hugged by Chu Ci and closed her eyes in her warm embrace.

Death does not mean that Jing Ke will leave this world. She remains in soul form, watching Chu Ci help her preside over the funeral, then take care of their small home, and finally sit in her favorite seat and stare at the empty house in a daze.

After forty-nine days, Chu Ci avoided everyone's sight, sneaked into his own shelter, swallowed a special potion, and slept forever beside him.

What a fool! He even learned to commit suicide for love.

Jing Ke sighed in her heart, and then she found herself seeing a scene she had never seen before.

When Chu Ci's life came to an end, his soul suddenly transformed into a golden energy form and left this world at an extremely fast speed. If Jing Ke hadn't been in the form of a soul, she probably wouldn't have witnessed this scene.

What is going on? Could it be that my lover is also an existence of a higher level than the current world, just like me?

But the only known higher-dimensional existence was his own system and rules. His lover was targeted by the rules, so no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't possibly be the embodiment of the rules.

Jing Ke fell into deep thought, and then she found that her own strength had been strengthened again.

When Jing Ke's body was dying, she had already received a gift from the world consciousness, which strengthened her abilities in all aspects.

But just now, not long after Chu Ci left, Jing Ke clearly realized that she had become stronger, which was inconsistent with her usual cognition.

Was it because he had a soul contract with his lover, so after Chu Ci left, he received an extra gift?

Such a guess flashed through Jing Ke's mind, but she quickly rejected it. What followed was another somewhat outrageous, but very possible truth.

Could it be that they had an extremely close relationship before they developed self-awareness?

Furthermore, their origins were extremely similar. Helping his lover was like helping himself from another perspective.

Jing Ke has no way to verify this guess for the time being, so he can only expand his perception ability and search for the soul of his lover in other small worlds, choosing the most vulnerable soul as an anchor point to avoid being defeated by the rules.

"Xiao Ye, listen to my advice. You can't compete with capital. Although you did have an outline before, your new article was published ten days later than the other party. Not to mention the number of followers. Xing Tianxia has five or six times as many followers as you, and he's a famous writer who became famous earlier. Even if you released the outline, not many people would believe you."

"Xing Tian Xia's agent contacted me. He said he really appreciates your idea and is willing to buy out your outline for 200,000 yuan. All you need to do is say that you had a conflict and apologize. Xing Tian Xia will cooperate. Once the deal is done, the 200,000 yuan will be immediately deposited into your personal account. It's a win-win situation."

"Xiao Ye, you're just a new, unknown author. Your last book did quite well, but how can you guarantee you can make $200,000 from this one? Listen to me, take the money, and then just revise the outline and write a new book."

The editor's words kept echoing in Ye Yunfu's mind, making her a little absent-minded while traveling with her friends to famous tourist attractions.

Ye Yunfu started writing last year. She is one of those with good talent. Even though the subject matter she chose is the relatively unpopular ancient infrastructure, she has attracted a group of fans with her solid knowledge and writing skills, allowing her to earn more than 100,000 yuan from one book.

But after Ye Yunfugou revised the outline of his second novel and sent out the three freshly-written chapters, he discovered that a new celebrity on the same website had published an article with a similar theme to his new article ten days ago.

The only difference is that Ye Yunfu's conception was a story about the struggles of a modern woman who traveled through time to ancient times, while the protagonist in the work of the new master Xing Tianxia was a man who traveled through time to ancient times.

The contents of the first three chapters are as much as 80% similar. The protagonists who travel through time have no memories of the original owner and can only rely on their own observations to obtain information.

After figuring out the general situation, the protagonists of the article chose to focus on the medicinal herbs that were everywhere in the back mountain, trying to use the medicinal herbs to make their first pot of gold and change their current situation.

Ye Yunfu felt that there was nothing wrong with her setting. As a woman in ancient times, her range of activities was limited and it was difficult for her to leave the village, so she could only go to the back mountain under the pretext of picking wild vegetables.

But if the protagonist is a male, as a modern person, there should be no need to narrow his sights to the medicinal herbs in the back mountain, and there is no need to use small favors to bribe the famous gossip in the village just to prevent her from gossiping, right?

The more Ye Yunfu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. However, the other party had indeed published their paper ten days earlier than his, and no one had seen his outline. How could they be so similar?

Besides, Xingtianxia became famous earlier than herself. There is no need for a new star to come and take advantage of a newcomer like her, right?

"Yunfu, Yunfu, come here quickly, there is a marriage temple here!" The voice of a friend sounded not far away, pulling Ye Yunfu's drifting thoughts back.

Ye Yunfu looked up and said, "Marriage Temple? I don't plan to fall in love. If you need me, I'll wait for you outside."

"Yunfu, you didn't read the guide carefully. Although it's a marriage temple outside, there's a temple for the God of Wealth inside! I heard it's very effective. Many people bought scratch-off tickets after praying there and won big prizes!" said the friend. "Hurry up, let's go inside and worship the God of Wealth. I don't want a stinky man, I want lots of money!"

After hearing the word "God of Wealth", Ye Yunfu immediately threw away all his messy thoughts and ran towards his friend with his small bag, "I'm coming, I'm coming!"

This is the Temple of the God of Wealth! Now that we're here, why not pay your respects? Who knows, you might even get rich today!

After seeing the crowded crowd in front of the Temple of the God of Wealth, Ye Yunfu was immediately confused and quickly followed the crowd to buy incense and candles, and knelt before the God of Wealth with great piety.

"God of Wealth, I am willing to exchange my three years of singleness for a chance to make a fortune." Ye Yunfu muttered to himself as he completed the kneeling process in an extremely standard manner.

[Ding - Keyword recognition successful. Congratulations to the host for binding to the Get Rich System. This system aims to help the host achieve a life of rapid wealth. Complete the designated tasks and you will receive monetary rewards!]

"Ah?" After discovering a strange voice suddenly popping up in his mind, Ye Yunfu subconsciously looked around, wanting to see if someone was deliberately playing a prank.

"What's wrong, Yunfu? Didn't you finish your wish?" His good friend Zhang Sangyu looked at him with a hint of confusion.

"Nothing, did you hear any strange sound just now?" Ye Yunfu asked.

Zhang Sangyu shook her head. "No, did you hear it wrong?"

[The host heard correctly. The Rich System has completed the host binding. The host can communicate with this system using thoughts.]

"Are you really a get-rich-quick system? Are you a high-tech product, or a product from another dimension?" As a novelist with a lot of imagination, Ye Yunfu accepted the existence of the system very quickly.

Of course, Ye Yunfu also had to admit that the reason she accepted it so quickly was related to the name of the system.

Get-rich-quick system, it really is! This sounds like the system I've always dreamed of!

[This system is a product of a higher dimension. As long as the host completes the task, it can help the host embark on a life of sudden wealth!] Jing Ke deliberately used a more lively tone to make herself sound relatively harmless.

"Then what do I need to do?" Ye Yunfu asked.

As a senior student who is about to enter the society but has not yet fully entered the society, Ye Yunfu has a relatively active mind and is bolder than the average person, so she decided to give it a try to see whether this get-rich-quick system is true or false.

If it's true, then I can become rich overnight! It's like gold bricks falling from the sky!

If it is fake, then I may need to go to the psychiatric department to see if the auditory hallucinations are caused by too much stress recently.

[It's very simple. The host only needs to buy scratch-off tickets with a face value of more than 500 within two hours.]

Ye Yunfu's eyelids jumped. He was now in the scenic area. It would take at least an hour to leave the scenic area. So he only had one hour to find a lottery shop?

After thinking about this, Ye Yunfu subconsciously looked at his good friend Zhang Sangyu beside him, "Sangyu, is there a lottery shop nearby?"

"A lottery shop? There didn't seem to be one originally, but since the Temple of the God of Wealth became popular, there seems to be one more in the scenic area. Wait, let me check the guide!" Zhang Sangyu didn't suspect anything.

They had just burned incense and worshipped the God of Wealth, so it was only natural to strike while the iron was hot and buy a scratch-off lottery ticket to try it out. Not to mention Ye Yunfu, even Zhang Sangyu couldn't help but be tempted after hearing this!

Sure enough, where there is demand, there is a market. Zhang Sangyu simply checked a guide and found that there was a newly opened lottery shop less than one kilometer away from the Temple of the God of Wealth.

After walking for ten minutes following the navigation, Ye Yunfu and Zhang Sangyu saw a crowded lottery shop. They waited in line for almost three minutes before they successfully reached the counter.

After thinking about the get-rich-quick system that inexplicably appeared in his mind, Ye Yunfu got excited and took out 600 yuan in cash, bought a whole book of newly released scratch-off tickets, and then left the crowd smoothly.

Zhang Sangyu was also infected by the atmosphere of the lottery shop. When she left the crowd, she had an unopened lottery ticket in her hand. The style was the same as Ye Yunfu's, with 20-denomination tickets, a total of 30 tickets.

"Yunfu, should we go to the entrance of the Temple of the God of Wealth and scratch the paper? I heard that it will be easier to make wishes come true if we scratch the paper at the entrance!" Zhang Sangyu said.

Both of them are senior students. Who doesn’t have a dream of getting rich quickly?

"Okay, let's go to the entrance of the God of Wealth Temple." Ye Yunfu nodded.

So, the two of them went back to the Temple of the God of Wealth, stood outside, held up the scratch-off ticket and bowed three times respectfully, then opened the scratch-off ticket and prepared to take action.

"Yunfu, I heard that using a bank card is more effective, and you can make a lot of money this way!" said Zhang Sangyu.

Ye Yunfu glanced at the people around him who were also scratching their scratch-off tickets and asked in a low voice, "It seems like a lot of people are using their ID cards. I heard them say that this way the God of Wealth knows who to give money to."

Zhang Sangyu touched his chin. "That makes sense. How about we scratch our ID card and bank card together?"

"Good idea." Ye Yunfu's eyes lit up, and he asked the system in his mind, "I've already bought a scratch-off ticket worth 600 yuan. Doesn't that count as completing the mission?"

"Of course, the host has completed the task. From now on, the host only needs to carefully scratch off the thirty scratch-off tickets. The reward is among them." Jing Ke said considerately.

Ye Yunfu was skeptical about the get-rich-quick system's words. After all, she paid for the scratch-off tickets herself and chose the types herself. The system had no involvement at all.

A doubt flashed through his mind, but this did not stop Ye Yunfu from taking out his ID card and bank card, stacking them together as his friend said, and starting to scratch them.

The middle number is 06. OK, I remember it.

Ye Yunfu scratched the first line with a hint of anticipation, and then her eyes widened.

After swallowing, Ye Yunfu used the rounded corner of the card to press the amount under the first number of the scratch card.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand?

Do it again! , tens, hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands!

"Sang Yu, Sang Yu, come here and pinch me to see if I am dreaming." Ye Yunfu said with his eyes wide open.

"What's wrong? Did I win the prize?" Zhang Sangyu leaned over and looked at the only line that was scratched.

"Fuck!" Zhang Sangyu also widened his eyes and used his fingers to replace the rounded corners of the card surface, repeating Ye Yunfu's actions.

"Oh my gosh!" Zhang Sangyu tried to keep her voice down. "Hurry up, Yunfu, put the scratch-off ticket away. Let's go straight to the lottery headquarters. I checked when I woke up from a dream where I won the lottery before. Prizes like this can only be claimed at headquarters!"

"There are many people in the scenic area and it would be bad if the items were damaged or stolen," Zhang Sangyu reminded.

After coming to his senses, Ye Yunfu immediately put the scratch card into his zippered bag, hugged the bag tightly and walked out, his heart beating faster than ever.

"Is this the reward you mentioned?" While walking towards the exit of the scenic area, Ye Yunfu did not forget to ask the system in his heart.

[Yes, but there's more to it than that. When you redeem your prize, you can scratch off the last line of the last ticket, which is where the remaining half of the prize is.]

Jing Ke originally wanted to give Ye Yunfu a big win right from the start, but the maximum prize for the scratch-off lottery she chose was 200,000, so she could only be relatively flexible and set both the beginning and the end as grand prizes.
