Chapter 72: Stop the Darkening of Emperor Star (Must-have Chapter)
Xiao Jin got angry when he heard this: "How would I know what happened yesterday? I wanted to ask the owner why he locked me up!" Although the owner earned a lot of emperor's heart for it, it was still unhappy!
Wenjiu: "...Um, this is not for children to watch."
Xiao Jin: "You are the child. Xiao Jin is already thousands of years old!"
Wenjiu: "...You can't remember how old you are?"
Xiao Jin blinked. "Huh? I actually remember how old I am? Why can't I remember anything from the past?"
Wen Jiu: "It's okay if you can't remember. First, tell me, how come our space has become bigger again?"
When talking about this, Xiao Jin immediately became happy: "Master, I think this is the credit of the Emperor's Heart Tree. If we rely on ourselves to nourish the space, it will take thousands of years for the space to grow so big.
But with the Emperor Tree, things are different. Now the space has merged with it. From now on, as long as the Emperor Tree grows, the space will become larger."
Wen Jiu circled the Emperor's Heart Tree twice. "But how do we make it grow? Now, it doesn't need the Rebirth Flower, the Fourth Master's love, or even hatred. Do we really need to water it?"
Xiao Jin said with the air of a learned scholar, "From what I've seen so far, it should be growing according to how much the Emperor Star loves you. It's said that the Emperor Heart Tree planted by Daji was a towering tree. Ours...will definitely grow bigger in the future, too."
Wen Jiu looked at the tree in front of her that was barely knee-high: "..." A towering tree? She didn't believe it!
"The fact that it suddenly grew this long means that the Fourth Master suddenly likes me more?"
How come she didn't realize it at all? That gentleman treated her like her enemy and almost tore her apart yesterday!
Xiao Jin: "I think so. Emperor Star has gained so many hearts. If it's not love, what else could it be?"
As he spoke, Xiao Jin suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, Master, I forgot to tell you that the bond between you and Emperor Star has deepened, and the system has issued a new task."
Xiao Jin waved his hand casually, and the system's antique panel appeared. He pointed with his little hand and said, "Master, look."
Wenjiu glanced over and saw the following message: [The host's bond with Emperor Star has reached 10, unlocking high-level tasks:
*Prevent Emperor from turning evil.
The first phase mission goal: The next three months will be the first period of Emperor Star's blackening. Please resolve Emperor Star's knot within the time. After three months, the first phase mission will be completed when Emperor Star's blackening value is below 40%.
The second stage: bond restrictions, not yet opened.
The third stage: bond restrictions, not yet opened.
...
If you complete all stage tasks, you will be rewarded with 10 years of life. If you fail, 50% of your original life value will be deducted. Do you accept?】
After Wenjiu finished reading, he swallowed his saliva and said, "Ten years?"
Xiao Jin nodded: "Master, what are you waiting for? Take it quickly. If you succeed, you can gain ten years of life. If you fail, it's only 50% of your life, so you won't die."
Wenjiu stretched out his finger and almost touched it, but stopped abruptly.
"Evil turn? I suddenly remembered that in my memory of this world, the Fourth Master forced the emperor to abdicate and murdered his father, forced his mother to death, killed his brothers, burned his sister-in-law to death, and even ransacked the homes of more than half of the court officials. Are these things really going to happen?"
Oh my god, the Fourth Master's fate couldn't be any darker. Who is the person beside her? He felt a chill on his neck for no apparent reason.
Xiao Jin nodded. "Of course it's all true. The master already knows most of what's going on in this interface, but there are some details I'm not very clear about. I only know that the Fourth Master's trip to provide disaster relief was the first step in his dark transformation. The assassination and escape weren't anything to worry about. He also lost contact for a while during that time, and even I couldn't see what happened during that time."
Wen Jiu: "Assassination? Escape? Lost contact? Then I have to complete the mission, do I have to follow him?"
Xiao Jin nodded: "That's natural."
Wenjiu thought for a moment, then squatted down and planted a flower seed he had obtained while serving the emperor in the bedroom yesterday. He threw three of the Fourth Master's Love on it, and the flower of rebirth matured instantly. There were fifteen in total, and he collected them all in exchange for life.
[Ding, successfully exchanged for 105 days of life, 145 days of life remaining.]
Wen Jiu pointed at the panel and said, "Look, I still have more than four months. The Fourth Master is only gone for three months. I should be able to hold on until he comes back."
Xiao Jin hugged her shoulders and said, "Master, let's not talk about whether you can still gain love after the Fourth Master turns evil. Aren't you afraid that the Fourth Master will run into a confidante this time when he goes out? She doesn't have to do anything, just hold your hand a little longer, and you will be gone... Besides, what if the Fourth Master is delayed on the way..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Wen Jiu nodded directly on the panel and sighed softly: "What a short life with no ambition!"
Xiao Jin was afraid that she was in a bad mood, and just wanted to say a few words of advice, but he saw Wenjiu hurriedly find a stick and write and draw on the ground.
"Assassination, escape, loss of contact... well, you must bring your daily necessities with you, absolutely nothing less.
We need to bring some meat and a pot. Um...we need to plant some vegetables and prepare some convenience foods."
Xiao Jin: “…”
It was really overthinking it. The owner had no principles at all for the sake of survival and food. Looking at her energetic appearance, if you didn't know her, you would think she was not going to escape but to travel.
Wen Jiu was still counting on his fingers: "I still need to prepare some daily medicine, gauze, swords and other things for self-defense."
"Yes, and bring some mosquito repellent. Also, ask someone to make some playing cards for you to take with you, and some Gomoku..."
"Wait." Xiao Jin felt something was amiss. "Master, I understand mosquito repellent, but why did you bring playing cards and Gomoku?"
Wen Jiu said clearly, "Isn't it because I want to stop him from turning evil? I have to do something to cultivate his positive and optimistic attitude."
Xiao Jin: “…” Okay, but I just feel something is wrong.
"Hey, Xiao Jin, didn't they say that ten hearts can be exchanged for books on related skills? We still have twenty-one hearts now, so we should be able to exchange them."
Xiao Jin nodded immediately: "Sure, what are you looking for, Master?"
The next second, a variety of books appeared on the panel.
Looking around, there are titles like "Five Years of College Entrance Examination Simulations and Three Years of Simulation," "Classic of Mountains and Seas," "Sunflower Manual," "The Sassy Little Wife of the Overbearing CEO," "Bone Training for Immortality," "On How Pigs Are Produced," and "The Work of Nature's Creatures."
Wen Jiu: "...Jin, is this a skill book? Can I really find what I want to read in here?"
Xiao Jin scratched his head and said, "It looks messy, but it's actually very easy to find. Master, I'll find it for you if you want any book."
Wen Jiu: "Let's find a book on medicine, just an introductory one. If someone gets hurt when we go out, I can use it."
