Lin Yanbai was half asleep, feeling as if she were in a cradle. Her body was rocking slightly, and she was about to fall asleep again. Wait, rocking?
She suddenly woke up, straightened up quickly, and looked around. The long and narrow lane was filled with snakeskin bags of all sizes. People were sitting in groups of three or four, some eating, some sleeping. She even spotted an old woman holding two chickens. Uh, no wonder the carriage smelled so strange. She was a little impressed by the young man sitting next to the old woman, munching on a steamed bun without blinking!
Lin Yanbai noticed that these people were dressed very simply, and some even had several patches on their clothes. She suddenly had a bad feeling...
"You finally woke up!" A high-tech electronic sound rang in her ears. Inexplicably, Lin Yanbai heard a hint of grievance.
"I am a lucky system from the future galaxy. The host can call me Master Seventh." The system said arrogantly.
Lin Yanbai thought of the novel he had read before, and a thought came to his mind: "Stop talking nonsense, what's going on now?"
"Originally, the host was the one I chose, but because you worked too hard, you died suddenly from overtime, so the great Seventh Master had no choice but to bring you here." Lin Yanbai dared to guarantee that she seemed to see the system's tail raised high.
Looking at Lin Yanbai, who looked unhappy, the system whispered, "Host, do you wish to receive the original owner's memories?"
Lin Yanbai pressed the accept button in her mind. The next second, countless fragments of memory rushed into her mind, washing over her head like a tide. Finally, she sorted out her memories.
But after sorting things out, she just wanted to spit out curse words. She'd actually been transported to a period novel. The good news was she wasn't the heroine, much less a supporting actress. The bad news was she was the heroine's cannon fodder sister. The original owner was also named Lin Yanbai, and she appeared in less than half a chapter before she died. Even worse, the cannon fodder sister caught a cold on the way back to the city and collapsed right after returning home. The funeral was held three days later...
Wait, Lin Yanbai turned her head and looked at the carriage. Was she going to die again? Or was it because of a cold?
"Ahem, don't worry, host. Under the leadership of the Seventh Master, we will definitely be able to successfully overcome the cold and change our destiny!" Looking at Lin Yanbai's obviously unhappy face, the system vowed.
"I've taken over the original owner's body, but what about the girl? You won't strangle her to death, will you?"
"How could that be? We are orthodox, and killing is illegal!!!" the system said indignantly, "How could you think that of us? We, the system, also have professional ethics. We simply made a deal with the little girl. She has nothing to cling to in this world, and her only wish is to have enough food and water. So we sent her to another planet, which will definitely fulfill her wish. The little girl is so happy."
Lin Yanbai didn't say anything, because she inherited the little girl's memory and knew that the system was right.
The original owner was born into an ordinary family in Yanjing, but she was an extra child, not part of the plans of Lin's parents. Because she had a pair of twin brothers and sisters, who were smart and lovable since childhood, and because twins were auspicious, Lin's parents doted on them even more.
Therefore, they decided not to have more children and focus on raising their own two sons and daughters. Lin's parents were both employees of the Yanjing Textile Factory, and with few children in the family, even in this era of food and clothing shortages, the Lin family lived a relatively comfortable life.
But when the twins were 3 years old, Lin's mother became pregnant unexpectedly. The couple originally planned to have an abortion, but the doctor said that Lin's mother was a little weak and an abortion might be life-threatening. The couple had no choice but to give birth to the child.
However, an unexpected child born into this world ultimately doesn't receive much love. After Lin Yanbai was born, her elder sister, Lin Wan, seemed to be afraid that her younger sister would steal their parents' love. During that period, she was extremely anxious and insecure. So, the couple decided to send the newborn Lin Yanbai back to her grandmother's home in the countryside to be raised for the sake of their eldest daughter, Lin Wan.
After sending Lin Yanbai away, the Lin family returned to their former lives. However, Lin Yanbai, who returned to the countryside, faced a difficult situation. Her grandmother was a typical son-in-law. Even though her father sent her a monthly allowance, life in the countryside was difficult, and she often went hungry. After her grandmother passed away, Lin Yanbai had nowhere to go, and the Lin family finally agreed to allow her to return home.
It may be that the original owner was weak to begin with, and coupled with acquired malnutrition, he was killed by a minor cold after a long journey.
After recalling the little girl's short life, Lin Yanbai was filled with heartache. She had no choice in where she was born, but she had endured everything. No wonder the system said that the little girl had no attachment to this world. Well, going to another place might be a good thing for the original owner!
Thinking of this, Lin Yanbai felt relieved. He was an orphan in modern times and had nothing to worry about. So, he might as well make the best of it!
But... Lin Yanbai remembered another thing: "Xiao Qi, you just said that you have a lucky system. Can you elaborate on it?" She called Xiao Qi in her mind.
"Call me Lord Qi! Humph, I am the lucky system created by the great Lord God. The host can participate in a free lottery every day, and you can also gain lottery tickets by completing tasks. The prizes you can win are what the host needs!" As expected, Xiao Qi started to show off again.
"I can draw a free prize once a day? Then I'm going to draw today." After saying that, a huge, golden turntable appeared in Lin Yanbai's mind. She looked closely and saw that the turntable was divided into 12 small sections, with some daily necessities written on them. There were tissues, soap, biscuits, medicine, etc.
Before Lin Yanbai could say anything, the system spoke cheerfully again: "Completing the mission will trigger item updates, and the supplies will get better and better! Host, you must work hard to complete the mission!"
"Okay, let's start today's lottery!" Lin Yanbai's mind moved, and the huge pointer began to turn slowly.
Lin Yanbai looked at the pointer nervously. She hoped that the pointer would stop at the cold medicine. She did not forget that it was a minor cold that took the original owner's life.
Unfortunately, God did not favor her. The pointer slowly passed over the medicine and landed on the cookie option.
Lin Yanbai: ...That's alright. I'm really hungry after such a long car ride. She felt for her bag and found something.
"Please rest assured, host. Considering the changing times, our supplies are packaged in a way that suits the times."
Listening to the voice of the system, Lin Yanbai's mind moved and he narrowed his eyes. At this moment, the stupid system suddenly felt chilly, and he couldn't help but feel strange. Can the system still feel cold?
