Male Lead: Seduce me quickly! Leng Yue: No, no, no, I can't do it!
Male Lead: I allow you to seduce me! Leng Yue: ... This generation's male lead is so hard to handle, I want to go ho...
"What's going on?" People say it's hard to go home, and Leng Yue is in a similar situation now. She has a space but can't go back.
Zero looked helplessly at the cold moon wandering outside the space. "Didn't I tell you before that the plots issued by headquarters are always wrong? Now, too many people have complained, and headquarters has to make rectifications."
"If you're going to make changes, then make changes. Why seal off our space?" Leng Yue poked at the door of the space, full of resentment.
"Headquarters issued the notice a second before you arrived, saying that to prevent any abnormal situations during the upgrade and rectification period, all entry and exit were prohibited." Zero was also dumbfounded. It had just recalled Leng Yue, and then headquarters issued such a notice. Not only that, but it only took five seconds from the notice being issued to the closure of the space. Who could react to such speed?
"What am I going to do now?" Leng Yue scratched at the door. "Where can I go now?"
Leng Yue initially thought she shouldn't have come back, but then she realized it was impossible. Not to mention Qian Chen, even the original owner wouldn't want to! This time, the original owner clearly stated she wanted to go back and reunite with her family. Even if Leng Yue didn't want to leave, she still had to leave once the mission was complete.
Because once the original owner made the request and the contract was generated, Leng Yue was obligated to abide by it. Similarly, if Leng Yue fulfilled the contract, the original owner was also obligated to pay the promised compensation. Otherwise, both would be treated as violations, and ultimately, neither would escape unscathed.
"Well, you can either go directly to the mission world, or you can choose to wait in the mission hall at headquarters." These are the only two methods Zero can offer.
"The Missionster Hall? Is it crowded?" Leng Yue was very curious. She had been doing missions for so long, but she had never seen any other missionsters, let alone a high-class place like the headquarters!
"You want to go?" Seeing Leng Yue's interested expression, Ling said, "If you really want to go, I can just book a car from headquarters for you, but..."
"But what?" As soon as Leng Yue heard Ling's words, she knew that things weren't as good as she thought.
"Rankings matter in the Mission Hall, you'll probably be ostracized if you go there." Zero was worried about Leng Yue going alone, it knew very well that the mission participants and the system there were far more complicated than Leng Yue imagined.
"What ranking? Don't we have one?" This was the first time Leng Yue had heard about rankings; Zero had never mentioned it before.
"Of course we don't qualify. Those who make it into the rankings are all mission takers capable of physical travel. Every one of them is incredibly strong! People like us, if it weren't for this special situation, wouldn't even qualify for the mission taker's hall. As for rankings, it'd be a long time coming, wouldn't it?" Zero said without much confidence. Who doesn't want to be awesome? But some people are born with lives that are either similar or vastly different—what can it do?
Leng Yue understood, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I understand. Don't be pessimistic. They say the early bird catches the worm. Maybe we're not smart enough to start flying late, but we'll keep flying. One day, we'll reach the goals we once thought were unattainable!"
Ling had been quite blunt, and Leng Yue knew that given her current circumstances, even if she went there, nothing good would come of it. At best, she would become an unknown nobody; at worst, she would be ostracized and bullied by everyone.
Since that's the case, she's not in a hurry to go to the mission hall.
Everyone says that challenging someone of a higher level is the only way to show your true abilities, but Leng Yue prefers to take things one step at a time. Going back now is pointless; when you're not strong enough, you won't make powerful friends. What's the point of building a network then?
Even if she went there with the intention of learning and broadening her horizons, according to Zero, it would be quite an achievement for her to even get through the gate, and it's uncertain whether she'll even be able to secure a place there afterward.
Since that's the case, let's not go there for now. Leng Yue believed that one day, they would be able to reach that place through their own efforts, instead of relying on an accident like they are now. Going there like this would only make others think they lacked ability and were taking advantage of others.
It's said that "if you blossom, butterflies will come," and Leng Yue also believes that only by becoming strong herself can she become friends or partners with other strong people. That's just the way things are in human relationships.
"Yueyue, is it the choice to go to the mission world?" Ling was excited by Leng Yue's words. Yes, as long as they keep flying, they will eventually be able to fly into the sky!
Leng Yue nodded, then asked, "Have you finished extracting all the mission worlds? Could it be another plot hole?"
Zero thought for a moment, then replied with a smile, "I don't know if it's a trap or not, but I do know that there shouldn't be any danger in this world. Not only that, I don't think this mission will be too difficult."
Leng Yue asked, puzzled, "How did you know?"
Zero kept everyone in suspense, saying, "You'll find out when you get there. Also, I'll help you find that person beforehand..."
As she was leaving, Leng Yue heard Zero's last words and had some guesses in her mind.
Leng Yue guessed that Qian Chen had already passed away, or that they had reached some kind of consensus in the previous world, which was why Ling was smiling so slyly this time.
Before she could even start playing, Leng Yue was suddenly transported to the mission world by a dizzying sensation of weightlessness and gravity.
"Zero, why do you feel so bad this time?" Leng Yue rubbed her forehead. "Were you too rough just now? Is that why I feel so bad?"
Zero quickly explained, "Impossible, it wasn't me! How could I bear to be so rude to you?"
"No? Who was it that always liked to kick me directly into mission worlds before?" Leng Yue argued with Zero while enduring her dizziness and nausea.
"Well, you seem to be in pretty good spirits, so you should be alright, right?" Zero asked, noticing that Leng Yue was pale but still had the energy to banter with it.
Leng Yue patted her chest and shook her head, "No, I still feel nauseous..."
As soon as Leng Yue finished speaking, she jumped up and ran to the bathroom to vomit violently, "Ugh... Why am I having such a hard time this time... Ugh..."
Ling panicked too, "Yueyue, should we go to the hospital?"
Leng Yue waved her hand, but couldn't help being sarcastic, "Are you stupid? My soul doesn't match, which is causing my body to feel uncomfortable. What would I say to the doctor at the hospital?"
Zero paced anxiously back and forth, "But this is the first time you've done this, and I don't know why. I can't leave here either, so I can't exchange any medicine for you. What should I do?"
"It's okay, it's okay... Ugh..." Leng Yue leaned over the toilet, "I'll be fine after a while, don't worry... Ugh..."
After an unknown amount of time, just as Ling was about to call an ambulance for Leng Yue, she finally climbed out of the toilet. "Okay, I'm fine now. I'm going to rest for a while..."
Leng Yue's face was deathly pale, and Ling dared not say anything, only monitoring her condition closely. Strictly speaking, she was closely monitoring Leng Yue's breathing, and would immediately call for help if anything seemed amiss.
