Chapter 5 System Appearance
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Even if 001 said that everything her family experienced in her past life was a conspiracy, Gu Yin would not believe that she was lucky enough to get such a luxurious lunch without paying a price!
001 brushed the debris off her clothes and said helplessly, "Don't be so mature at such a young age. I do have conditions, but they're not difficult. Weren't you a star in your past life? As long as you achieve the Grand Slam of Best Actress awards, you can help us obtain the willpower of the people on your planet. Of course, as long as you complete the tasks I give you and have enough points, you can open the shop. The shop has all kinds of items from the Great Thousand Worlds. If you have enough points, you can buy what you need. Of course, it can't exceed the technology of this world."
When Gu Yin heard the system say this, she was a little embarrassed: "I don't want to be an actress anymore. Also, will the wish power you need have any impact on our world?" She didn't want to cause any loss or destruction to this world because of herself.
001: "You were an actress in your past life, and with the system's help in this one, winning the Best Actress award is a piece of cake. Isn't that great? Plus, I'll be at your service from start to finish! Including appearance, acting skills, and popularity—you can have whatever you want! As for your willpower, it's like your faith; there won't be any problems, don't worry!"
Gu Yin: "I don't think these are very important to me. Can we change them to something related to studying? In my past life, I only went to high school and didn't even get my diploma. If I could do it all over again, I would like to go to university, take the postgraduate entrance exam, and get a doctorate. Being a star is great, but it's not suitable for me, and I don't like it. In my past life, I only went there to find Ah Le. 001, can we discuss this?"
System: ......Damn it, how come I run into a little guy who looks just like me even when I'm on vacation? Oh well!
Gu Yin only heard an electronic voice and didn't hear 001's reply. Afraid that it would be angry, she whispered, "001, are you still there?"
Gu Yin thought it had left and was still feeling sad when a emotionless, mechanical voice sounded in her mind: "The 'Best Actress Grand Slam System' has been modified into the 'Academic Genius System.' Mission: Civilization Gap, collect ancient planetary culture. Collection location: Library. The system must issue missions on time. The bound object will receive a reward for each mission completed, and the host will receive points. Only when the bound object completes missions and accumulates a certain number of points can the system shop be opened. The system can be upgraded once every ten points, with no upper limit. We hope the bound object will work hard!"
Before Gu Yin could even feel happy, a transparent board appeared in the air above her, on which was written:
Bound object: Gu Yin
Stamina: 70, not bad (would collapse in a strong wind).
Intelligence: 60, so-so (better than an idiot).
Beauty, 50, just passing grade (the beauty elixir of the cultivation world is worth having).
Bad luck, a 20 out of 10 (I've never seen anyone as unlucky as you!)
Gu Yin: "...I think my strength is relatively high compared to my peers. I'm not the kind of person who would be blown over by a single breath. I'm quite smart. I can memorize scripts quickly, even if they don't have more than two words. I'm a bit dark-skinned now, but once I'm fair-skinned, I'll be at least pretty enough to be considered a charming young lady. As for luck, well, let's just say it's not great. 001, you didn't leave?"
Why leave? He's been thrown out by his owner to work overtime, and he'll be thrown out again if he goes back. This little guy looks nice, so I'm not leaving yet.
001: "My data is based on the statistics of the cubs in the Great Thousand Worlds. Maybe you're doing well here, but in the Great Thousand Worlds, you're really trash. I'm not trying to discourage you! Okay, I've changed my attributes. Are you sure you want to bind with me?"
Although Gu Yin didn't quite understand, seeing that the attributes could be changed, Gu Yin was a little suspicious about 001 and wondered what to do.
"001, I've read those scripts and novels where the system can't change attributes, but yours?"
Hearing her question, 001 was no longer annoyed. She immediately put her hands on her hips and proudly said, "My master is a very powerful mission taker. She often goes to various small worlds to repair bugs. She's always number one! Her missions are also 100% perfect! After repairing ten more worlds, my master can be promoted to a divine messenger. There are only ten divine messengers in the God Space. Because my master is so powerful, the God made an exception and gave her a spot. Everyone on the God Space forum is saying that my master is very likely to be the next God! How about that? Amazing, right? And I used to be just a string of data. Now I have many skins and can even fly out of the system space. This is all thanks to my master! Let me tell you, you really used up all the luck you had in your life to meet me! My master was on vacation, and the God asked me to come out and train a newbie. But my master just randomly kicked me out. I happened to appear when you were saving someone, so you had the chance to be reborn! Aren't you happy?" After saying that, she excitedly flew out of the system space and circled around Gu Yin's mind several times.
When Gu Yin first saw 001, it was a chubby little white plush toy with facial features, hands and feet, and a pair of transparent little wings. It was very cute!
Gu Yin agreed with 001: "Absolutely amazing! I really used up all my luck in this life to meet you and your master. Please give my regards to your master later! 001, I'm willing to be bound to you. In the future, I will definitely work very, very hard. I hope you won't look down on me!"
001 closed her eyes, and Gu Yin heard a cold, emotionless electronic voice in her mind: "System confirmed the bound user as Gu Yin, binding in progress... 80%, 90%, 100%, binding complete. May the system and host work together. Goodbye!"
After the electronic sound ended, the panel that previously only displayed some simple data now showed "Bound" and a "System Shop," although the System Shop was currently grayed out and not activated.
"Once you have enough points, you can open it. I hope you work hard. It contains a compilation of books from various worlds. It all depends on how well you can learn! Okay, stop looking for now. You're still injured. Let's wait until you're healed!" After saying that, 001 flew back to the system space before Gu Yin could ask any questions. She helped her master organize the items she had brought back from various small worlds and then sorted them for consignment.
On the second day of her hospitalization, Officer Wang brought people to take Gu Yin's statement. After taking the statement, they took all the children back. Fortunately, the children still remembered where their homes were. With the child traffickers' confessions, it may take about a week to find the children's homes. As for the child traffickers, they still need their help to identify the gang members and their locations. The sentencing has not yet been determined. Once it is determined, Officer Wang will notify the Gu family.
Gu Yin also asked Officer Wang to help her find out why they came to Lijia Village that day. When Gu Yin was about to return in the morning, Officer Wang came over.
“They drove here from the next village and rested at the foot of the mountain. Later, they got thirsty, so the female trafficker disguised herself as a nun to beg for alms. Who knew she would come to your house? It was such a coincidence that only your two children were home. That’s how they took a liking to you. Their statements are the same, with not much difference,” Officer Wang said, looking at Gu Yin.
Gu Yin frowned: "I still hope Officer Wang can ask around more. I'm afraid someone deliberately led them here. Although our home is also at the foot of the mountain, it's quite far from where they parked. There are other houses nearby where they parked. They went to such lengths, even when we weren't home with any adults. As the book says, if there are so many coincidences, then it's not a coincidence."
Officer Wang nodded: "I'll continue to observe, but you don't need to worry too much. Once those people are sentenced, even if they have powerful backers, they'll be scared for a while. There's a crackdown on this recently! They probably won't dare to take any risks. Just don't be alone. By the way, what book are you reading?"
Gu Yin thought for a moment: "...Storybook?"
Officer Wang suddenly realized: "It's okay to look occasionally, but don't sneak peeks during class. Alright, get some rest, you'll be going back tomorrow." With that, he left the hospital.
