Chapter 56 The Gloomy Little Poor Boy of the 70s (Final Chapter)

"Ding-dong! The villain's rescue value has reached 100%!"

Current corruption value: 0

The objective has been achieved!

Congratulations, smart child.

You used trust as a sword to cut through the shackles of suspicion, and your family as a shield to resist the chill of fate.

What's most precious about you is this honest and open-hearted attitude that dares to be entrusted and relied upon.

You have earned yourself the most perfect crowning glory, breaking free from the shackles of fate.

The system notification sounded without warning, which was both expected and a little unexpected for Shen Ci. She let out a soft breath, and an indescribable sense of melancholy welled up in her heart.

"System, Shen Huai's rescue value has been increasing so slowly over the years, only increasing a little bit each year... I never expected it to suddenly reach the maximum value in the end."

She spoke softly, her eyes shimmering with a complex light.

"Host, this is something to be happy about, there's no need to be sad."

You helped him avoid his original fate of dying a gruesome death, and indirectly saved many others.

The family and romantic storylines have already been completed, and now that the last hidden danger has been eliminated, the "salvage value" is naturally full.

It paused, its tone tinged with approval.

"In this life, they have all become very good people. Congratulations, host."

Shen Ci's gaze drifted to a spot not far away, where her two children were laughing and talking in the courtyard. Sunlight shone on them, making them look like a beautiful painting that she dared not disturb.

The system continued, "You have fifty years left to live in this world. Do you choose to stay, or leave now?"

Shen Ci's heart tightened suddenly.

She knew that this parting would be forever; through all the heavens and the myriad realms, from the highest heavens to the deepest hells, she and her two children would never be able to meet again.

These two children, who were timid, self-conscious, and sensitive in that small mountain village, have gradually shed their immaturity and anxiety and grown into the confident and radiant young people they are today. She has personally nurtured and witnessed their growth.

How could she bear to leave now? How could she bear to shatter the perfect moment they had just achieved?

"I've worked so hard for so long, it's time for me to enjoy life," she finally said.

"I'll wait until I die of old age."

She simply couldn't bear to let her two children lose happiness so soon after they had just begun to experience it.

The system fell silent, no longer speaking. Shen Ci took a deep breath, a gentle smile spreading across her face, and jogged over to the children to join their conversation.

She is still young, and has countless sunrises, spring, summer, autumn and winter to spend with them.

...

Time flies like an arrow; fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

When Shen Ci was eighty years old, she quietly made a will, leaving all her assets to her two children, and then left alone under the pretext of going abroad to recuperate.

She didn't tell them she was leaving, and the lack of news was perhaps the best farewell. The last lesson she taught her children was to learn independence and how to say goodbye.

"Host, I've come to pick you up."

When the system's voice sounded again, it sounded quite pleasant. Shen Ci was sitting in a villa by a foreign seaside, watching the peaceful sunset outside the window.

"You have exceeded expectations in this world: successfully saved the villain, prevented him from turning evil, and indirectly saved the world's female protagonist."

Task rating: S.

Reward Settlement: 400 billion m-coins have been transferred to your account in the original world. Simultaneously, the family villa in your birthplace has also been transferred to your name.

Even Shen Ci, who had experienced several worlds, was stunned by this astonishing reward. In her original world, this amount was almost equivalent to the assets of the richest person in the country, and although her family was also wealthy, they were far from reaching this level.

She... became the richest person overnight?

"Yes, host."

The system, sensing her thoughts, calmly explained.

"The former richest man in the original world has declared bankruptcy today. According to the real-time wealth ranking, you are now the new richest man. The villa prepared for you by the system is the one that your family has been fighting for for many years."

Shen Ci suddenly laughed.

The rewards from the mission world directly reflect and change the original world. The family property that her brothers and sisters, whom she was once powerless to resist, had painstakingly tried to seize, has now become hers in this way.

"Host, this is just the basic reward."

As long as you continue to perform well in your tasks, there will be even greater rewards to come.

Land, positions, status, even life-saving potions, future technology, top-tier weaponry—everything in the universe can be yours.

It paused briefly, waiting for Shen Ci to finish laughing. "She's over 80 years old. Be careful not to laugh yourself sick."

"Shall we proceed to the next world?"

Shen Ci took one last look at the world.

She knew that when the children received her carefully prepared letter, they would understand that she had left. Fortunately, they did not fall into darkness because of her departure. Instead, they supported each other and tried to live on.

In this way, it will truly be perfect.

"Let's move on to the next world."

She spoke softly, a hint of relief and anticipation in her smile.

"The next world: A resentful fake heiress from a wealthy family. Please prepare yourself, host."
