"Are you the one who was directly selected by the system?"

Then another, more weathered voice rang out.

"Being directly chosen as a host by the system? We haven't seen anyone like that in a long time. Come, child, tell me, what did you do?"

Like a puppet on strings, Lin Zhenzhen's head was slowly tilted, and then she saw a pair of empty eye sockets.

Lin Zhenzhen stared wide-eyed, but couldn't utter a sound.

"Let me answer for her. In a high-difficulty small world, she, as an ordinary NPC, simultaneously ruined the missions of two high-level hosts, causing the empire to lose countless resources."

"The system determined that she was the sole victor of that small world, and thus absorbed her into the Empire to become its host."

"Not only that, you even managed to get the Minister of the Censorate to violate the convention and challenge the authority of the Empire."

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion erupted among the crowd on the platform.

Countless golden eyes lit up, like will-o'-the-wisps covering the mountains and fields, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Lin Zhenzhen then realized that there were so many people hiding in the shadows on the platform.

"Sir, please release her."

A familiar voice sounded from behind, and the grip on Lin Zhenzhen's chin loosened. She turned around and finally saw the figure that brought her peace of mind.

"I have listed all the suspicious points about the codenamed No. Small World."

"The council has always been fair and impartial, and will never allow anyone to openly disrupt order. I believe that you gentlemen can make a rational judgment and then give me an answer."

Gong Yao's expression was calm. His eyes gently swept over Lin Zhenzhen's face, his gaze carrying a calming power.

"You want us to overturn the punishment mechanism we imposed on you for the failure of the small world and take back the contribution points that originally belonged to you."

"But you are not the host now, so contribution points are not of much use to you."

“Yes, of course I do.” Gong Yao looked up. “I need to exchange it for something.”

"Is there anything that you, as the head of the disciplinary inspection department, cannot obtain?"

"When I underwent purification, I received a buff card that was not activated."

"You mean?!"

Gong Yao raised his head, smiled and looked at Lin Zhenzhen: "My contribution points should be just enough to activate that buff card."

"...Once the 'Rewind' card is used, it cannot be undone. From this day forward, the Imperial Quick Travel portal will be completely closed to you."

"You will return to the small world as an ordinary NPC, experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death."

"You've seen far more magnificent and prosperous scenery, are you really willing to go back to that kind of life?"

"Zhenzhen," Gong Yao suddenly spoke up, "What about you?"

Lin Zhenzhen raised her head, her eyelids trembling incessantly in sync with the rhythm of her heartbeat.

Gong Yao looked at her, his gaze clear and gentle: "Are you willing to give up all of this and return to that ordinary life with me?"

In that instant, Lin Zhenzhen suddenly heard the cicadas chirping in the summer when she was eighteen, sometimes long, sometimes short, stretching out the heat of summer.

The boy's face appeared before my eyes. He smiled and said to me, "Class monitor, even if I can't play basketball, I will still get into a university in the capital. Are you willing to wait for me for another year?"

"I do." That was my answer at the time.

No matter how much time has passed, no matter what has happened, she knows that some things, some people, and some answers will never change.

"I do."
