Freya?
Shi Yin paused for a moment before realizing what he meant: "Oh, you mean that System No. 1?"
Shi Yin had some impression of Su He. She was the No. 1 Academic Superstar System. She was a very cute little girl. Her father was from Wilren. Her family settled in Yanlong. Due to an accident, both her parents died, and Su He went to an orphanage.
However, if Shi Yin remembers correctly, Su He was adopted by her parents because she was also of mixed race.
System No. 1 is a top student system. All tasks and rewards are related to learning, and it is particularly strict. You must keep improving and excelling. It is the strongest and most complete system.
Of course, learning is all-encompassing, not just academic subjects. This system is very flexible; it covers everything from astronomy and geography to cooking and musical instruments. Any progress is considered learning. As long as you work hard enough, you will accumulate enough points, and the entire store will be yours.
“She can only learn by staying by your side. What’s the point of leaving her in Yanlong?” Shi Yin frowned. “I don’t know any of those strange things.”
“I wanted to take her as my apprentice, but she refused.” Helmod spread his hands innocently: “For some reason, in this life, she’s staying at the orphanage and won’t leave.”
This lifetime? Why?
In previous hundreds of lifetimes, Freya had readily gone with Helmod. Both she and Helmod had Wilren's blood, and Helmod was a scientist who was most suitable for System 1. Why was she unwilling this time?
"So, you're saying that meeting Ji Chuan was also an accident?" Hermod pondered.
There have been too many unexpected events this time; something must have triggered a butterfly effect.
“Yes, I know that.” Shi Yin nodded: “Because I kicked the Nan family out beforehand, Nan Zhu’s undercover mission failed. But because I didn’t want to be exposed, the credit to the outside world was all given to Nan Zhu.”
“That sentence ignited the family conflict in the Ji family. Ji Chuan was originally an illegitimate child, and everyone was wary of him. He broke down and ran out crying at the banquet that day because of the sarcastic remarks.” Shi Yin carefully recalled the details she had found out: “That’s why I happened to run into him.”
Come to think of it, it seems that all these unexpected events originated from the Nan family.
"Wait, is the director of that orphanage still alive?" Shi Yin seemed to have thought of something.
“Of course.” Hermod asked in surprise, “Was it dead before?”
Shi Yin: "..."
"I think I know." Shi Yin was silent for a while, then rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "That dean originally intended to commit suicide."
Hermode: "? What's going on here?"
"The orphanage director was forced to do illegal things by the Nan family for a long time. She couldn't escape, and the pressure of her conscience was too great. Over time, she developed cancer, which seems to be in its late stage." Shi Yin sighed softly, "She couldn't be cured and had no money. In order not to be a burden on the children, she usually chose to commit suicide."
"Oh, so the Nan family didn't die so early before. If we deduce that, the Nan family might have contacted that dean during this period, which may have contributed to the dean's death." Hermod immediately guessed the key point: "This time the Nan family fell early, so she wasn't under as much pressure. But late-stage cancer is incurable, isn't it?"
Although he possessed the power of gods and demons, capable of creating all sorts of unexpected things, he still couldn't overcome his terminal illness.
Or rather, his focus wasn't on conquering cancer at all, so he did almost no research in that area.
“Yes, but Freya is still alive with terminal cancer, so it’s really hard for her to go with you.” Shi Yin thought for a moment and said, “Never mind, leave her with me for now, and you can take her back later.”
"Alright then." Hermo was unhappy. Such a big apprentice had just flown away. No one would be happy about that.
"Alright, let's get down to business. The first batch of Awakened has been selected. After removing Ji Chuan, Lin Beiyue, and Chang Ning, there are three left." Helmod said, stretching as he spoke.
He had obviously seen the headlines too, and his expression was somewhat strange: "It's so great that the national conditions are different. Some of us have already started making a fuss over there."
Shi Yin shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Of course, there were also troublemakers in Yanlong Kingdom. According to the information Shi Yin received, there were indeed people who wanted to disobey orders. Unfortunately, the higher-ups had anticipated this and deployed enough manpower. If you wanted to disobey orders, you would have to have enough ability.
Besides, please, it's almost the end of the world now, who still plays the peacetime trick of showing mercy to you?
Some people hadn't even pulled out their weapons, and before they could even grab someone else's food, they were knocked unconscious by a policeman standing by.
After a few whacks, they all quieted down.
If people line up obediently, pay honestly, and take their things honestly, few will dare to cause trouble.
As times change, rules must also change. Therefore, before the new era breaks the old rules, we must first establish our own rules for the new era and take control of the command through strong measures.
This was a policy set by Shi Yin and the top leadership.
Moreover, the people of Yanlong Kingdom are indeed obedient. Most of them are very well-behaved and quickly quiet down. Don't they have brains or ears? Although their eyes are clear, their greatest advantage is that they listen to advice and do whatever the country says.
Within two days of the information being released, order had been restored, with people shopping and asking questions as usual.
Some bloggers even listed all the key points from the news, marked each item, and began to analyze them word by word, while also explaining the precautions.
These bloggers are simply geniuses. Without the ability to be reborn, predict the future, or even know what will happen, their advice and analysis are almost exactly the same as what the country wants its people to do.
Following this lead, the government secretly protected them. Smart people are very useful in the apocalypse, so they should be treated the way they deserve.
“Isn’t this a bit too early?” Helmod said, glancing at his phone. “It’s only July, there are still two months to go.”
“I just saw the footage from the observatory; the meteorite event happened earlier than expected.” Shi Yin tossed over the data she had received: “It happened about two weeks earlier.”
"So early?" Helmod was surprised when he heard the news. "Shouldn't this be a fixed quantity?"
He understands that people will do all sorts of things because of the butterfly effect, but what does this butterfly effect have to do with meteorites? Surely human activities can't affect the magnetic field of meteorites, right?
"Look carefully," Shi Yin reminded him.
Helmod paused, found a chair, sat down, and picked up the documents to read them carefully.
This was captured using high-tech equipment he supported, and it was already extremely clear to the naked eye, but Helmod still frowned.
He walked over to Shi Yin and patted her on the shoulder. Shi Yin immediately stood up and made room for Helmod. Helmod sat down and rummaged around on the table for a bit before stopping in a corner.
There was an inconspicuous button there. With a gentle press, the mechanical table immediately emitted a technological blue light, and a computer slowly rose from the center of the tabletop through a large hole. Accompanied by a "click-clack" mechanical sound, the table closed again, making it seem as if the computer had been there from the beginning.
A hand of the gods emerged from behind Helmod, quickly conjuring a small machine that attached itself to the upper left corner of the computer.
Helmod's hands flew across the keyboard, and as he typed in string after string of code, the observatory's meteorite monitoring window immediately appeared. He had actually connected directly to the observatory's observation system.
