Like a dream
[Wait a moment.] Shang Jingyan interrupted the system rudely and asked forcefully, [Is there any way for me to go back?]
She didn't want to travel here at all.
Shang Jingyan strongly suspects that the current situation is actually due to an error in some part of Guiyan's plan, which led to her amnesia and the wrong landing location after "traveling through time".
Although she had forgotten what the plan was and what kind of world she was supposed to land in, her intuition told her that it was extremely important to her and she must not give up easily.
【There is no other way.】
The system advised, [Compared to your original world full of dangers, this world is simply too good. You can live a happy life here, right? ]
Shang Jingyan frowned, but was unable to refute.
——The story setting of the game "Lord of the Stars" has a mixed feeling.
Although it is an interstellar world, there are royal families here who inherit the world through blood, and their characteristic is extremely powerful mental strength.
The heroine is set to be a descendant of the royal family who is stranded outside.
The royal bloodline of this generation is declining, and a major event happened in the previous generation. The previous emperor fled and wandered in a foreign land, and his whereabouts are unknown, which led to internal strife in the royal family.
During this period, a bloodline was helped to rise to the top, but their mental strength was not up to standard. There was no choice but for the people in the capital to look for the bloodline left by the previous emperor, and finally they found the heroine.
In other words, since Shang Jingyan has transmigrated into the female protagonist, her identity is the daughter of the late emperor born among the common people.
Although she is now unemployed and still owes rent, it will not be long before she returns to the "aristocratic life" that she deserves.
The heroine returns to the capital, and the main plot of "Lord of the Stars" begins here.
Players need to complete the task of royal training and education, and compete with several other candidates to finally become the heir - the King of Stars.
In fact, these are not important, they are just daily tasks.
Of course, the most favorite highlight for players is the various handsome men they will meet during the period!
After all, "Lord of the Stars" is a love strategy game. As the crown prince, of course you can have girls on both sides and enjoy the pursuit of the male protagonists.
From a gentle and caring older brother to a playful and infatuated younger brother; from a sunny and cheerful athletic handsome man to a sickly and weak beauty; from a brilliant male star to a silently dedicated personal bodyguard...
There are all kinds of things.
No matter whether you want to achieve the achievement of [Love Only One Person] or [Three Palaces and Six Courtyards] in the end, players can make their own choice.
For example, when Shang Jingyan plays the game, he prefers a male protagonist named "Pei Yi", who is often nicknamed "the main wife" by players. He is a handsome and virtuous wife with good cooking skills.
The system is right, life here is much easier.
She doesn't need to worry about not being able to compete because she is the protagonist and will eventually reach the pinnacle of power. All she needs to do is lie back and enjoy it.
[Host, your past life was not smooth sailing, right? ]
The system advised earnestly, [In your human terms, your experiences before crossing over are all things of the past, and you should look forward.]
Compared to struggling, enjoying life without working for it always has great temptation.
Shang Jingyan was silent for a while, without making any comment, and just asked: [So what is the mission you just mentioned? ]
[Please ■■■——Zi...]
[Please please be patient and we will ■■■ issue it as soon as possible——]
The panel began to flicker again, and Shang Jingyan's vision was covered with a layer of bizarre neon colors.
She couldn't help but say: [Why does your system panel look like it's about to be scrapped. ]
[Sorry host.] 17X apologized, [There were some accidents when we were binding with you, please believe that we will fix it soon!]
Shang Jingyan picked out a key word: [You keep saying "you", so who are you? ]
[Sorry host, the question involves confidentiality. You cannot query it temporarily with your current permissions. ]
The noisy and piercing reminder sound stuck for a long time, and finally debugged it: [System task is being issued... issued successfully. ]
[Task 1: Please pay attention to tonight's "March Heart" and keep watching for more than 30 seconds after 8 pm. According to our calculations, it will help improve your love fortune and enable you to achieve your strategy faster. ]
Shang Jingyan's mouth twitched: "..."
Wow, love fortune, this is still a metaphysical worldview.
[Do you want to accept the mission? ]
Shang Jingyan lowered her eyelashes and said nonchalantly: [Let’s put it aside for now and talk about it in the evening. I have a procrastination problem. ]
17X: [……]
It seemed to endure for a while before wordlessly retracting the pop-up window.
It was still a long time before eight o'clock in the evening. Shang Jingyan's stomach growled, so he went to the kitchen and cooked himself a bowl of noodles.
The layout of the rental house was the same as she remembered, even the position of the milk in the refrigerator was exactly the same, which made it difficult for her to have a real sense of time travel...
But according to the plot, it won't be long before someone from the royal family comes looking for her.
After hastily filling his stomach, Shang Jingyan turned on his computer and looked through his contact list. He found that he had very few contacts, only five.
The pinned group chat is a small group, with a total of four people including her. One of them has the note "Blue Snow", one has the note of the "Cloud" emoji, and the other looks like a serious name, called "Xia Chiyi".
Shang Jingyan had no impression of these three names, but the group had a hot chat icon. She couldn't help but wonder: "So I really traveled through time... So are these the original owner's friends..."
Many people on the Star Network also said that they wanted to watch the moon with their lovers tonight. Some people even flew over from other planets just to take a look at the Three Moons.
At present, there are only five planets habitable for humans, named after gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The water system star March where Shang Jingyan lives is the capital planet.
But even in the political and economic centers, there are slums.
Looking out from her rental house, the old industrial-style buildings became clearer in the morning sun. The river in the city center was golden orange, the color of pollution.
Not far away on the other side of the river was a high wall. Shang Jingyan knew that if he crossed it, he would reach the bustling city center.
Separated by a wall, the two are clearly divided.
“Knock, knock.”
Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door.
Shang Jingyan had a premonition and opened the door, only to see a young man looking at her with a smile: "Hello, is this the residence of Miss Shang Jingyan?"
17X: [Ding! The number one strategy character "You Yao" appears, please cheer for the host! ]
——You Yao, one of the male protagonists of "Stellaris" and also the first strategy character to appear.
His appearance marked that the royal family had found its heroine.
From now on, the heroine can return to the capital and start her career as crown prince.
You Yao is a handsome guy in the public's aesthetic sense, with blond hair, blue eyes, broad shoulders and long legs, very pleasing to the eye.
His identity is a star star who specializes in performing girl idol romance films.
"Beautiful young lady, my name is You Yao. You may have seen me on posters. Please don't be surprised. Allow me to introduce myself."
The young man was polite and smiled.
Next, Shang Jingyan heard a conversation identical to the one at the beginning of the game.
You Yao revealed her bloodline identity, briefly explained to her the crisis currently facing the royal family, and extended an invitation to her.
[How is it? Are you so excited that you can't speak? Do you feel like you are in a dream? ]
17X joyfully encouraged Shang Jingyan to embrace the future, [From now on, this kind of life will be your daily routine! ]
Shang Jingyan is a little subtle.
Frankly speaking, she just felt that it was... unreal. Not in a too-good-to-be-true way, but rather too trifling.
But she couldn't find any fault. Is this the limitation of the game world?
When Shang Jingyan thought of this, he felt a faint pain in his solar plexus again.
After You Yao finished explaining the instructions of the Xingchen Royal Family, the room was briefly silent for a few seconds. Even someone as talkative as him felt inexplicably awkward.
This girl named Shang Jingyan... is so calm.
As soon as he entered the room, he noticed the striking green eyes, which were exactly the same as those in the portrait of the late emperor. The relationship between the two was self-evident.
During the conversation, she kept looking at him calmly with these eyes, reminding him of the emerald green pool deep in the forest.
"...You haven't had afternoon tea yet, right? The environment here is not suitable for dining. Please let me take you to a comfortable restaurant."
You Yao bowed like a gentleman and opened the door of the aircraft for Shang Jingyan.
Shang Jingyan thought that if a simple young man who had lived in the slums for eighteen years heard this, he would probably feel inferior and uneasy.
I feel inferior about the simplicity of my rental house and worry about whether my clothes are worthy of being eaten in a high-end restaurant.
But she didn't feel that way, she was calm and composed.
Sitting on the aircraft, You Yao was in the front cockpit, while Shang Jingyan sat alone in the back row.
They flew over the high wall of poverty and wealth easily. Passersby below looked up at them enviously, and gradually only ant-sized black dots were left.
Shang Jingyan raised his eyelids: [Since you have small tasks, then there must be a general task, right? I came to this world and bound myself to you. What is my general task? ]
[Ding——Your overall goal is to make the target of your capture fall in love with you and collect enough heartbeat points. If the value is high enough, you will automatically become the king of the stars. ]
Sure enough, there is. Shang Jingyan asked again: [What if I don’t finish it? ]
The system said in a sweet voice, "There is nothing you can do but die. Your heart rate is tied to your health value, so please don't try to give up."
Shang Jingyan raised his eyebrows: [What if I don’t complete the small non-mainline tasks you assigned? ]
The system said politely: [Then you need to accept the corresponding punishment. ]
Shang Jingyan paused the fingers that were twisting her hair and narrowed her eyes slightly.
I really don't understand where I got that sense of trust in the beginning. This system is clearly a malicious guy.
It should have been the most important mission and punishment information, but it kept silent about it at first, and only spoke it out after she asked.
Doing so will undoubtedly bring greater psychological pressure to the "host".
As they were talking, You Yao also arrived at the restaurant.
He chose the "Qingxun Restaurant", which was only a few minutes away and very considerate.
[Last question,] Shang Jingyan asked politely, [Excuse me, how do you judge the heartbeat value?]
Not sure if it was her illusion, Shang Jingyan felt that the system seemed a little reluctant to answer this question. It was silent for a few seconds before answering:
[… are physiological indices such as heart rate, adrenaline, and dopamine. ]
【good. 】
Shang Jingyan smiled.
17X suddenly had a bad feeling.
There are endless green trees, blue sky and white clouds under the window glass.
You Yao sat down opposite Shang Jingyan and said considerately, "Before returning to the palace, Miss Shang, if you have any needs, you can tell me."
Shang Jingyan kept smiling and replied, "There is indeed a demand."
"May I ask if you are interested in making movies? - And, are you interested in changing your career and learning about a genre called 'horror movies'?"
You Yao: “Huh?”
system:【…………】
At this moment, the kindness it had pretended to have all the way seemed to collapse, and it burst into anger.
——Damn it, why after changing the world and modifying cognition, this human being still misses that horror movie that has nothing to do with it? !
At the same time, outside.
Main galaxy, capital star, Deboler's office.
"Report, we have observed brain worm fluctuations!"
Luo Fu hurried all the way to the office door, her flat shoes making rapid clattering sounds on the tiles.
Her face turned pale, and before her body had even completely entered the room, she blurted out, "Director Shang is in great danger now. The brain worms are trying to tamper with her consciousness!"
