It should be noted that Song Lan rarely has any inner thoughts. Therefore, since Qin Yanzheng was able to hear Song Lan's inner thoughts, he has rarely heard anything except for tonight.

[Sizzle... sizzle...]

As soon as Song Lan lay down on the bed, a strange voice rang in her mind. She couldn't help but frown and pat her head lightly. However, the strange voice disappeared for a moment and then rang again.

[…buzz…buzz…system binding successful, buzz…]

Could this be some kind of system?

Song Lan thought to herself.

[Hello host, I am the Counterattack System 666. ...Due to insufficient energy, this system was previously forced into a dormant state. My awakening now... is due to the changes the host made to the plot.]

Or perhaps it was because the merit points the host gained from saving the Qin siblings and rescuing Xiao Yu's family gave this system the opportunity to awaken, *sizzle*... But the energy provided by those merit points is far from enough for this system to function properly. If the host wishes for this system to assist in completing tasks, *sizzle*...

What can you do to help me?

Song Lan asked in a low voice.

Her tone was calm and indifferent, revealing no emotion, yet she was inwardly shocked.

It really is the system the original owner mentioned.

Oh right, it's the Counterattack System 666!

It not only exists in her mind, but it can also speak. This... this is truly defying the heavens!

[The host doesn't need to speak to communicate with this system; you only need to convey your thoughts to it. Hehe... While this system's functions aren't particularly powerful, it has all the basic features.]

For example, there's the system shop and real-time monitoring. The system shop has many items that the host can exchange using merit points. As for real-time monitoring, simply put, if the host wants to know what someone is doing, this system can tell you immediately, *buzz*... In addition, this system has another function...

"What?"

Song Lan remained silent this time, listening to the system and communicating through consciousness.

[This function allows you to teleport items to the Great Xia Dynasty, but it can only be used once a month, and activating it requires a significant amount of merit points.]

"Sure?"

Suddenly sitting up, Song Lan's expression was unusually agitated.

[This system never lies to its host, *buzz*...]

"I have a lot of merit points, right?"

Although Song Lan asked the question, she already knew the answer.

After all, the original owner had told her that she had accumulated a lot of merit.

[During the Great Xia Dynasty's free medical clinic, the host saved many impoverished people and led troops in battles on the border for several years, ultimately pacifying the entire grassland and allowing the people of Great Xia to enjoy peace. The total merit points are... *sizzle*... Host,]

This system is about to run out of energy... *sizzle* If the host agrees to let this system assist in... completing the comeback mission, then this system will need to deduct 1 million merit points from the host's current account. Please tell this system your decision now.

"Go ahead and deduct it!"

She didn't need the system to help her turn the tables; she just wanted to use the teleportation function.

[Ding! Deduction successful! Would the host like to activate the system shop? If so, this system will also deduct 1 million merit points.]

"Activate".

Song Lan wanted to see what was available in the system's shop.

[Ding! Deduction successful! Does the system teleportation function require the host? If so, 10 million merit points will be deducted!]

"You want this much?"

Song Lan was somewhat surprised.

As mentioned before, enabling the teleportation function requires a significant amount of merit points.

"Will my merit points still be deducted when I send things over every month?"

She didn't want to be tricked by the system.

[Required: 100 merit points each time!]

Are there any restrictions?

Song Lan felt she had to get to the bottom of it.

Okay, I'm still afraid of getting scammed.

[The base teleportation limit is 50 kg. In other words, no merit points will be deducted for this 50 kg. Once it exceeds 50 kg, 1 merit point will be deducted for every 5 kg!]

"Okay, go ahead and deduct it!"

The people of Daxia suffered greatly. In winter, they stuffed hemp and reed fluff into their clothes to keep warm, but how could that really keep them warm? As a result, many people froze and starved to death during the coldest days of winter.

Yes, the poor don't just freeze to death in the winter because they can't withstand the cold; they also starve to death when there's no food...

Thinking about how, whenever there is a major disaster, even if the imperial court does its best to allocate disaster relief funds and grain, it is always difficult to avoid a large number of people starving or freezing to death on the roadside, and some even resort to cannibalism.

Wiping her eyes, Song Lan gradually calmed down. Since she had the opportunity to help the people of the Great Xia Dynasty, she was determined to lend a hand.

Even if all her merit points were deducted, it would still be worth it!

A determined glint flashed in Song Lan's bright eyes as she heard the system notification.

[Ding! Deduction successful!]

With merit points exchanged for energy, the system's "666" comment was noticeably louder.

"Is the time the same in the Great Xia Dynasty as here?"

If the flow of time is different, it's fine if the other side is slower than this side. But what if it's too fast and the item doesn't reach her family?

The difference is not significant.

"I can choose the teleportation location?"

Where should I send it?

The matter is too fantastical, and it must be kept secret; otherwise, it is hard to guarantee that it will not bring trouble to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Even though the emperor is her nephew, Song Lan still can't completely trust him.

reason?

It's very simple: emperors are suspicious!

Before ascending the throne, the emperor might have placed particular trust in his maternal family, the Duke of Zhenguo's family. But once he was firmly in power, and with someone whispering slander in his ear, he might start to doubt his maternal family.

Sometimes, having too much credit isn't necessarily a good thing.

Even if the emperor, as his great-nephew, trusted the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion until his death, who can guarantee that the next emperor will still trust it?

Therefore, the teleportation location cannot be chosen arbitrarily.

[Host, the teleportation location can only be Divine Healer Valley! This system pulled your soul to this world, and as compensation, it provided a copy of Divine Healer Valley as your personal space. Are you aware of this?]

"Thanks!"

Song Lan was genuinely grateful to the system—it gave her a chance to be reborn and also helped her send things to the Great Xia Dynasty to help the people of Great Xia.

[Host, there's no need to be polite with this system. Bringing you to this world without your prior consent was out of self-interest, so the system will not be stingy with compensation. Furthermore, this system must emphasize one point...]

The host must complete the comeback mission. Furthermore, this system needs to inform the host that from now on, any merit points you earn will be split equally between the system and the host.

"Split in half?"

Song Lan frowned.

[Does the host find this unreasonable?]

"How about I get seven and you get three?"

Song Lan was undoubtedly testing the waters.

This system cannot grant such an offer!

"Then I'll take six and you take four."

Song Lan wasn't a petty person; she felt that this system was acceptable.

She is rigid yet humane; though her speech is cold, she is not unpleasant.
