Chapter 108
An emotionless voice replied: [I am System 088. From now on, I will temporarily bind to you, replacing System 099.]
"Where's 099? You haven't answered me yet." Song Yue said coldly again.
Sorry, I can’t answer this question.
"Can't answer, or are you afraid to answer?" Song Yue lowered his eyebrows and spoke half threateningly and half tentatively.
The other party didn't speak.
It means she guessed right.
"Okay, let me ask it another way." Song Yue cleared her throat. "You just need to say yes or no."
This way it should not be detected by the main system.
The voice in my head said "hmm" but didn't refuse.
Song Yue understood and immediately asked, "Did 099 go into the small dark room?"
She remembered 099 saying that subsystems that made mistakes would be locked up in a small dark room by the main system.
Although he didn't know what was in the small dark room, 099 had emphasized many times that it was extremely scary and he really didn't want to go in.
Her answer was a "yes".
Song Yue felt as if her heart had been struck by lightning, causing some pain.
She tried to suppress her pounding heartbeat. "Second question, was he imprisoned because he took up the number three spot in the first promotion dungeon?"
【no】
"Is that because he came into the world I live in?"
【yes】
"Why?"
Song Yue blurted out, and then realized that this question could not be answered with yes or no.
Her eyes rolled quickly, and she changed her tone: "The rules don't allow it?"
Yes and no
An ambiguous answer.
Song Yue pondered for a moment. She should have guessed what 088 was trying to say. "You're saying that while the rules allow it, there are limitations. 099 can come to my world, but he has to meet certain conditions. He didn't meet them, so he was discovered by the main system. Is that correct?"
The voice in his head was silent for half a second. Although it was a short time, Song Yue keenly caught it.
[Yes, you are right] You can’t tell whether 088 is happy, angry, sad or happy in his voice.
"Then I..."
She had more questions to ask, but was interrupted by 088 the next second: [The dungeon is about to start. Please accept the dungeon information first, tasker.]
"One last question, just one last one." Song Yue gritted her teeth and persisted in her mind.
After a while, the other party said: [Okay, ask]
Song Yue unconsciously clenched her fists: "Will I be able to see him again?"
The brain fell into deathly silence, and time seemed to be infinitely stretched at this moment.
The waiting time of just a few seconds would pass in the blink of an eye under normal circumstances, but now it felt like the slow button was pressed, moving forward bit by bit at a speed comparable to that of a snail.
The air around her seemed to be sucked away, and Song Yue suddenly found that she could not hear any sound.
She didn't know how long this state actually lasted, until the moment 088 spoke, she instantly recovered her hearing and eyesight.
She heard 088 say to herself: [I hope you can see him again]
[Tasker, there is only half an hour left, please accept the dungeon information in time]
[You have to ensure you are alive before you can see 099 again, right?]
Song Yue was stunned for a moment, and then a light appeared in her eyes.
"Okay, I understand." She stared intently at the dark night sky outside the window and spoke concisely, "I accept the copy information, 088."
[Instance type: Volcanic eruption + tsunami
Instance level: A
Required tasks: 1. Survive for 2 months (completion rewards 50 life points); 2. Bring the original owner's good friend Mao Xingxiu safely to base A03 (completion rewards 50 life points)
There are no optional tasks, and the life value of the rewards for the two required tasks is limited.
It seems that the reward for completing this dungeon is not very high, so she has to use the points she has sparingly.
With a clear mind, she entered the mall to buy some props.
She currently has a total of 321 lifespan points.
On the familiar shelves, the first row still displays healing items—[Comfrey Potion] and [Simple Bandage].
She plans to buy a few more potions.
Aloyna had given me three potions before. I used one on Mr. Pan, the boss of the jewelry store, and there were two left (excellent quality). Now I will get three more (excellent quality), a total of five, which is enough.
[Simple Bandage] She didn't plan to buy it. This item only had the function of stopping bleeding and could not heal wounds. Well, if she was short of points, she could buy one or two to save her life, but she had abundant points now, so there was no need to buy such a useless item.
As for weapons, you can consider it.
The sniper rifle she had been longing for finally appeared, and she had to buy one.
Currently, her arsenal already contains [daggers], [simple bows and crossbows], [cannon barrels], as well as pistols, smoke bombs, and explosion-proof shields purchased from Boss Pan. These are enough for close-range combat, but if she encounters a target that needs to be aimed at at a distance, how can she do it without a sniper rifle?
It just happened to be available now, and the price was within her affordable range - 40 points, so she bought it immediately.
Sniper. Rifle. Gun
Quality: Excellent
Effect: One bullet will blow up a head
Maximum range: 1200 meters]
There is no need to purchase bullets additionally, because just like bows, crossbows, and cannon barrels, arrows and shells will be automatically refreshed after they are used up, which is equivalent to a one-time buyout benefit and is very cost-effective.
In addition, on the third row of shelves, Song Yue also saw a translucent spherical prop, which was extremely expensive, costing a full 100 points.
Click to take a look.
【Strengthen protective cover
Quality: Excellent
Effect: Any object can be designated for protection, regardless of external dangers, effective for 72 hours]
After seeing the effects, Song Yue finally understood why this thing was so expensive - it can save lives!
It’s just like the invincible equipment in the game. No matter how others hurt me, I won’t lose a drop of blood. In the end, I will exhaust the enemy’s stamina, but I will still be unharmed.
Thinking about the level of this copy, she gritted her teeth, spent 100 points, and bought the things.
If you don't use it this time, you can keep it for future copies. At worst, you can sell it at a 20% discount, just like selling unused [Deferred Repayment] in the financial copy, you can get some return on your investment.
After buying the big props, Song Yue found that he only had 121 points left.
She could have shopped around a bit longer, but unfortunately the shelves didn't have what she needed, so she had to give up and leave.
The clock hand on the bedside ticked.
December 1st 00:00.
[A-level dungeon opening...]
[Please accept the identity information...]
[Loading identity information...]
[Identity information loaded successfully]
The screen in front of her eyes went black, then brightened again. After a few seconds, Song Yue lowered her head and discovered something rather embarrassing.
——She dressed as a boy.
His pupils trembled for a moment, but soon returned to calm.
Isn't that the only structural difference between men and women? She curled her lips and said, "It's nothing. I'll just have to adapt for a few days and get used to it."
This time her identity has changed significantly from before. She is no longer called Song Yue, but Song Yuanzhou, 16 years old, orphan, and can do some carving.
There is only one continent in this world, which is called Continent A in the original owner's memory. Apart from that, there are islands scattered around, including Pearl Island, which is rich in pearls, Jade Island, which produces jade, Seabird Island, Crab Island... In short, each island has its own characteristics.
The place where the original owner lived is called Lime Island, and as the name suggests, it is characterized by limestone.
As the saying goes, "live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water." The land and water nurture the people. Due to its unique rock structure and density, the villagers on Lime Island have natural raw stones for carving.
After generations of inheritance and cultivation, a mature mining and carving process has been formed on the island. The finished carvings are transported to Continent A by ships and then exchanged for money or materials of corresponding value.
This is how the world works.
Mandatory Task 2 requires the target to be safely delivered to the A03 base. Song Yue guessed that this base should refer to a certain area on Continent A.
The volcano in the center of the island has not yet shown any movement. While there is still time, Song Yue decides to contact the original owner's friend Mao Xingxiu.
However, as soon as she stepped into the village, she was stopped by several children, who threw stones at her with a smile and kept calling her a "little bastard".
Song Yue frowned, having no intention of doing anything.
Unexpectedly, a string of white text popped up, and she received a temporary task.
[Temporary Mission: Give these little guys a good warning (Completion reward: 5 life points) (Time limit: 3 minutes)]
Song Yue:!!!
Don’t miss out on the free points that come to your door.
She raised her eyebrows, took a step, and quickly appeared in front of the children.
"Who taught you that? Curse me again if you dare?"
She grabbed the collars of several children with a stern expression.
Her eyebrows and eyes were originally cold, and now that they have changed into a masculine look, the aggressiveness of her whole face has increased even more.
The children never expected her to be so fast. They all stared with their eyes wide open and were so scared that they dared not move.
Seeing that the mission reward hadn't arrived yet, Song Yue thought her warning wasn't harsh enough, so she frowned even harder and glared at them fiercely: "Speak up! Weren't you shouting happily just now?"
The words fell.
The child burst into tears, crying, "Mom, come here quickly! Someone is bullying us!"
The child's cry was so sharp and thin that it immediately attracted the attention of people nearby.
Upon hearing the noise, several burly aunties came running over in a hurry, holding rolling pins and clothes hangers in their hands, looking like they were ready to fight.
At the same time, she finally received the completion notice.
[Congratulations on completing the temporary task and receiving a 5-point life value reward]
"Who bullied my son? I'll kill him!"
Several aunts rushed over and glanced at Song Yue. Seeing that she was actually smiling, they were so angry that they exploded like firecrackers: "Song Yuanzhou! You little bastard! How dare you bully my son? Let me go now, or I will..."
A chubby auntie said this while raising the rolling pin in her hand with a fierce look on her face.
Unexpectedly, before the rolling pin fell, her hand was grabbed by the person in front of her.
"You...!" The aunt was shocked. She didn't expect that the skinny Song Yuanzhou would dare to stop her!
She tried hard to pull her hand back, but the other person held her hand tightly and did not move. No matter how hard she tried, she could not pull it back.
Damn, when did this little bastard become so energetic?
The aunt muttered to herself, and panic gradually appeared in her eyes.
The next second, the system's voice rang in Song Yue's ears again.
[Congratulations on completing the temporary task and receiving a 5-point life value reward]
After hearing this, she let go.
The aunt was caught off guard and stumbled backwards. As a result, she lost her balance and fell flat on her butt. She grimaced in pain and said, "Oh my god, that little bastard is going to kill someone!"
She yelled in a pretentious manner, but Song Yue didn't even look at her.
Her attention was entirely focused on the reward she had just received.
This time the system reward is the task of [Threatening the Auntie with a Rolling Pin], which has just been refreshed and follows the first temporary task.
I didn't expect it to be completed so quickly.
Song Yue raised her eyebrows, realizing that these villagers were there to give her points.
That’s great. She wouldn’t mind having a few more.
Unfortunately, she stood there for a while and found that no one dared to come forward and no temporary tasks were refreshed. She had to give up regretfully and leave from the corner.
When she was alone, Song Yue lowered her head and lifted the original owner's sleeve.
The crisscross scars all over his arms looked quite shocking.
Not only that, the original owner also had it on his body.
She lifted her clothes and looked at her abdomen. Sure enough, there were many wounds on her abdomen.
These injuries are old ones. The wounds have healed long ago, but the scars left behind will never go away.
This was the injury the original owner received when he was 6 years old. Because his biological mother died and there was no one to look after the family, his uncles and aunts from the same clan attacked him coldly in order to steal his family's property.
The child, who was only 6 years old, was holding the body of his dead mother, crying and refusing to let the adults carry it away. Upon seeing this, several uncles came up and beat him up, leaving the child covered in wounds.
The original owner was a stubborn person and would stop the beating no matter how hard they tried.
One of the bearded men was ruthless. He picked up a small wooden stool from the side and smashed it against the pillar. The legs of the stool broke, and the other party used the broken table leg to poke the original owner's stomach.
The original owner fainted from the pain.
When he woke up, his mother was gone and his home was gone.
And those who attacked him and his mother are all alive and well.
Song Yue pulled out her memories, gently put down the corner of her clothes, and then a glint in her eyes flashed.
Well, she suddenly thought of a good way to get higher scores.
