"Congratulations to Host No. 023 for completing the mission. The host has chosen to end the journey through time and space by erasing memories. Welcome back to the original world. Current location: Study Abroad Ship."
A sound composed of electric current rang in Xu Zhaoyue's ears. Although the memories of time travel had been erased, she instinctively communicated with the system in her mind, "System, what about the reward you mentioned before?"
"Don't worry, host, your illness has been cured. You can get a check-up when you arrive at your destination. You will live to be a hundred years old."
Hearing this, Xu Zhaoyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her knowledge had been enhanced through countless time travels, and now, as long as she was given the tools, she could make medicine and perform surgery on herself. However, that knowledge was something that did not exist in her era.
Countless treatment options flashed through Xu Zhaoyue's mind, but shouldn't all of them have been eliminated? Just as Xu Zhaoyue was wondering, the system spoke again.
"Just between you and me, the system didn't erase all memories when it was erasing them. The knowledge you've learned is still there."
"Thank you so much, Little Pumpkin." Xu Zhaoyue finally snapped out of her reverie and remembered the nickname she had given the system.
When the little pumpkin heard its host call it by its nickname again, it knew that the host's memories had been successfully preserved. "Yay, it worked! The host can use this knowledge to achieve the goal you want to achieve."
"Goal?" Xu Zhaoyue was momentarily dazed. Before the system found her, she did have a goal: to inherit the Xu family and get everything she wanted. However, fate was unkind, and she was diagnosed with cancer.
This is what the system told her. He was initially skeptical, but then he thought that with such a high-tech system, there was no need for him to deceive himself. And in the Republic of China era, cancer was incurable.
So she chose to embark on the time-space journey described by the system, playing different roles in countless timelines. As for what those roles were, her mind is now completely blank.
Now she's finally back, but let's just treat those goals and plans as a thing of the past. She's separated from her former self by a lot of blank time and space, and she no longer has that fighting spirit.
The original timeline was that she died of illness, and her younger brother became the company's heir under their father's guidance and promotion. The system showed Xu Zhaoyue the scene of Xu Zhaohao becoming the vice chairman.
"If they can manage to inherit the Xu family before I return from my studies abroad, then I won't compete for it and will just focus on my research." Xu Zhaoyue relaxed her body, enjoying the soft bed.
Little Pumpkin only vaguely remembered the scene when it bound itself to its host. At that time, the host was full of ambition and even though it knew it had cancer, it was able to accept the situation immediately and seize the opportunity to sign a contract with the system.
"But the Xu family originally belonged to the host. How could anyone else compete with the host? As long as the host returns, they will definitely belong to the host. The host's plan to lie low is likely to fall through."
Listening to Little Pumpkin's confident words, Xu Zhaoyue shook her head slightly on the bed. "Nothing is as it should be. Even China, which has a similar timeline to other countries, has different developments in different worlds. I have seen China ravaged by war, and I have also seen China experiencing a technological explosion."
"My world has neither war nor technological explosion. It is on the same level as the world during a peaceful transition, which is already very good."
Xu Zhaoyue is very satisfied with her current situation. Perhaps it is because she has seen countless bizarre and wonderful worlds that she is now in a particularly stable state of mind.
"Alright, Little Pumpkin supports all of your decisions, but Little Pumpkin can only accompany you this far. Little Pumpkin has already maximized your protagonist aura, so whatever you want to do in the future will come true."
"A halo?" Xu Zhaoyue was no stranger to the protagonist's halo, but she never expected it to appear on her in her own world. "Thank you, Little Pumpkin."
"This is the last thing Little Pumpkin can do for the host. I hope the host will not forget Little Pumpkin in the future, okay?" Little Pumpkin's electronic voice revealed a hint of sadness, and Xu Zhaoyue didn't know if it was just her imagination.
"Alright, you'll meet many more hosts in the future. Maybe when you become an even more powerful little pumpkin, you'll forget about me." Xu Zhaoyue realized her mistake as soon as she finished speaking, but the little pumpkin did not refute her.
After waiting for a while, Little Pumpkin said its last sentence, "Little Pumpkin's data will also be erased after it goes back. Little Pumpkin retains the host's memories because it doesn't want the host to forget Little Pumpkin. Little Pumpkin will become other melons in the future, such as watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon."
Xu Zhaoyue hadn't expected that Little Pumpkin's experiences would also be erased. Hearing it say these things, she felt a lump in her throat. "I will remember you. Don't forget that I personally named you Little Pumpkin. How could I forget? I won't forget."
Hearing Xu Zhaoyue's promise, Little Pumpkin stopped worrying. The host would definitely keep his word, so the host wouldn't forget it, which was good.
"Goodbye, host. Little Pumpkin is leaving now." Little Pumpkin had no need to stay any longer. It said goodbye earnestly and left.
"Goodbye, little pumpkin." Xu Zhaoyue responded, but after waiting for a long time without any reply from the little pumpkin, Xu Zhaoyue knew that it had really left. She took a few deep breaths and finally opened her eyes. She turned her head to look out the window and found it was still pitch black, just as it had been when it left.
Xu Zhaoyue sat up in bed and casually picked up the calendar on the bedside table. Today was June 13, 1957. She had deliberately come out to study abroad for a year to avoid being noticed. She had been away for so long, but the original world had not changed at all.
