"Do you have someone else you like?"

"No."

Why is that?

"It's pointless!" Xue Jinjin said seriously. "You'd be better off doing experiments at a research institute than dating."

Xue Jinjin finally understood! A wise person doesn't fall in love! What's the point of romance? Nothing is more meaningful than contributing to the country!

In my dreams, I always crave the love of others in my past life, and I always end up in a miserable state. It's truly pitiful and despicable!

I'm beautiful, rich, and smart! Isn't it better to love myself?! Instead of begging for love in a humble way, why not broaden my horizons and contribute to the country?!

"Ding, the mission 'Accompany Xue Jinjin to grow up safely' has been completed."

Yunqi: How did it suddenly finish?

Xiaoqi: Qiqi, Xue Jinjin has seen through love and is determined to contribute to the country... and then our mission is complete...

Yunqi: What's the relationship between these two?

Xiao Qi: ...Perhaps after seeing through everything, I won't be troubled by love, thus avoiding the tragic fate of my past life? ...So, our mission is complete?

Yunqi: ...Alright then. Xue Jinjin is 22 now, and we've been there for her as she grew up safely. Now that our mission is complete, let's go.

Xiaoqi: Aren't you going to stay and say goodbye to her?

Yunqi: ...No need. I already reminded her before that I'm just an ordinary cat, she should be mentally prepared. This body has lived for over ten years, let her think I died in my sleep. Let her walk her own path from now on...

Xiaoqi: Are you really not going to say goodbye?

Yunqi: No... Let's go.

Xiaoqi: Okay.

"Ding, leaving the mission world, teleporting..."

Xue Jinjin suddenly felt a tightness in his chest...

"Jinjin, what's wrong?"

"I feel a tightness in my chest, it's very uncomfortable..." Xue Jinjin clutched his chest in distress. "Sister Xingcai, I feel unwell... I want to go home..."

"Okay! Let's go home first." Gu Xingcai helped Xue Jinjin up, only to find that she was already in tears. "Jinjin, why are you crying? Is it in a lot of pain?! I'll take you to the hospital right away!"

"I don't know why I'm crying, I just feel so sad... Sister Xingcai, I want to go home..."

"Okay, okay! I'll take you home right away!"

Xue Jinjin returned to the Xue family home and immediately rushed to her room, where she saw Yunqi sleeping on the cat bed by the window...

This time, however, the cat didn't meow in response to her return...

She held her breath and slowly approached Yunqi, watching her motionless as if asleep...

This time, she couldn't lie to herself anymore... Kiki was dead... It was really gone...

Xue Jinjin held the cat in her arms and wept bitterly... The cat in her arms would never wake up again...

........

Gu Xingcai gently patted Xue Jinjin's back, silently comforting her, and finally accompanied Jinjin to cremate and bury the cat...

In the system space

Xiaoqi: Qiqi, Jinjin is crying so sadly...

Yunqi: ...She will pull herself together!

Xiaoqi: ……

Yunqi checked her spirit body and found it was fine. Returning to her physical body, she checked her attributes: she had gained some points and a small amount of merit for completing the mission.

Xiaoqi: "This is an assigned task, so there are no extra points."

"Okay." Yunqi nodded to indicate that she understood. "Xiaoqi, check what missions are available. Let's go to the next mission world."

"OK."

The system interface displays tasks from three different worlds.

1. The Vampire World. Mission: Kill the vampire who killed you! (Points)

2. The Orc World. Quest: Avoid Kana and find an orc who only loves you to live your life with. (Points)

3. The World of Gods and Demons. Mission: Drive the demons back to the abyss and seal the Demon Realm! (Points)

Yunqi completely ignored the second task. The first task seemed relatively straightforward, but the third task seemed too ambitious... and probably quite dangerous...

While high risk means high reward, what would I need such a high reward for?! I don't have any grand ambitions right now...

Xiaoqi exclaimed excitedly, "There's a mission with a million points?! Qiqi, let's do this mission?!"

Yunqi: "What do you need so many points for? Haven't you already upgraded to an advanced system?"

Xiao Qi explained, "There's a special grade above the advanced grade. It takes one million points to upgrade from an advanced tasker to a special grade tasker."

Yunqi: "Why didn't you tell me before?"

Xiao Qi said somewhat embarrassedly, "I only found out after I upgraded to the advanced system... The main thing is that completing a regular advanced mission only gives you points, and I thought I was still far from enough... so I didn't say anything..."

Yunqi: ……(ー_ー)!!

I was originally planning to choose the vampire world, but it looks like that's not an option anymore.

"Then let's accept the third quest from the world of gods and demons."

"OK!"

"Ding, confirmed entry into the mission world, teleporting..."
