Chapter 127
Song Yue woke up from her bed and immediately went to her parents' room to report that she was safe. After hearing the response from inside, she went back to bed.
088 congratulated her in a routine manner in an emotionless voice on the expansion of her space and the acquisition of a primary pond.
Song Yue should have been happy, but she didn't feel a bit of joy.
She was only thinking about 099 who was being punished in the small dark room.
"Is 099 okay?" She opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling, her heart tightly clenched.
If calculated based on the time spent in the dungeon, 099 has been in the small dark room for a whole month.
A full 30 days, isn’t that enough for the main system to punish me?
That's too cruel.
Then, she heard 088's reply: "I can feel his presence."
Such an answer did not reassure Song Yue. On the contrary, she felt even more upset.
Sensing a presence doesn't mean 099 is safe. Is it possible that he was injured in the small dark room? Or was he subjected to inhuman torture by the main system?
088 didn't mention these things, and only answered her with the most ambiguous words.
Of course, she knew that this was not 088's fault. 088 was also subject to the jurisdiction of the main system. If she said too much, 088 would also be implicated.
But she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
099 is suffering, is she well fed and well-drinking at home?
She is not that heartless.
Suddenly, she remembered what 088 had said to her before entering the dungeon: [You must first ensure that you are alive before you can see 099 again]
Make sure she stays alive...
Make sure she's alive in every instance...
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "088, if I clear all the dungeons, will the main system let 099 off for my sake?"
The purpose of the main system is to allow the tasker to clear all dungeons. If she succeeds, doesn't that mean 099 also deserves credit?
She wondered if the main system would show leniency to the subsystem that had made contributions.
If this is really possible, Song Yue doesn't mind entering the new copy right now. For the safety of 099, it doesn't matter if she works a little harder.
088 obviously didn't expect Song Yue to think this way, but he had to admit that the other party's speculation was well-founded and had strong support.
The main system's own energy comes from every natural disaster tasker. The higher the level of the dungeon the tasker clears, the more energy the main system obtains.
He didn't know why the main system needed so much energy, but it was obvious that if Song Yue, the bound person of 099, successfully completed the last step and cleared the S-level copy, the main system would be very happy and would grant rewards to both the subsystem and the tasker.
So her logic makes sense, except...
The voice that had remained unchanged for ten thousand years finally showed a slight fluctuation: [Are you sure you want to enter the next instance now?]
The reason why a month is arranged after the end of the copy is to allow the tasker to get enough rest. The copy world is full of various dangers, natural disasters will come, people's hearts will be shaken, and the tasker will be buried in it if he is not careful.
For example, the tasker he had bound before thought he was great because he had entered the B-level copy. After entering the copy, he did not think about doing the task at the first time, but ate and drank first. As a result, he missed the rescue node completely, failed the task in the middle of the copy, and finally died in the copy.
From a rational point of view, he hoped that Song Yue would adjust her condition before entering the dungeon; from another perspective, he deeply understood the kind of friendship that would allow one to sacrifice one's life for the other.
There is a calculator inside it that can preliminarily estimate the success rate of the tasker in completing the copy under different scenarios.
Just now, he secretly calculated it.
If you choose the first option, take a rest before entering the dungeon, the success rate is 90%; if you choose the second option, lose your sanity, the success rate is only 50%.
Half life, half death.
He wished he could hear the first answer.
But it's just hope.
Because a few seconds later, he heard her say, "I confirm."
A very firm tone, without a trace of reservation.
088 knew he couldn't persuade her, so he said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go adjust it."
While waiting, Song Yue got up, took out the paper on the desk, pressed down the tip of the black signature pen, and carefully wrote her last words on it.
She didn't know if she could go home this time.
If not, she hopes her parents can live well with her blessings.
After writing down her inner thoughts in the most concise words, Song Yue also waited for 088's reply.
[A+ copy has been adjusted, please accept the copy information]
[Instance type: Polar Day + Polar Night
Instance level: A+
Required tasks: ...]
Suddenly, 088's voice became intermittent, as if mixed with some noise.
Song Yue only heard the words "must-do task" and could not hear anything about the rest of the content.
"088?"
"Are you okay 088?"
Amidst the noise, there was a monster-like growl. Song Yue could not hear 088's response, only a vague voice: [Do you accept the copy?]
Song Yue clenched her fist and said, "Accept."
Her consciousness was taken away for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that she was not in a new copy, but was traveling through a messy tunnel.
It was like traveling through time and space in an interstellar blockbuster. The surroundings were filled with the ever-receding colorful stars, and she was just a speck of dust, not knowing where she was going.
how so?
Shouldn't she enter the new copy?
Song Yue frowned and couldn't help but panic.
088, are you there? She called out in her heart. But the ending was the same as before, with no response at all.
088 lost contact with her.
After confirming this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her palms.
There must have been a problem while transferring the copy, and the noise was the best proof.
What to do? Where will she be sent?
Song Yue turned over in the tunnel, hoping to grab something to stop herself from floating away.
However, as soon as she stretched out her arm, a strong electric current spread from her fingertips throughout her body, instantly knocking her unconscious.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Yue suddenly opened his eyes!
Numbness, dizziness, coldness, nausea.
All the feelings I had while walking through the tunnel came flooding back.
Without taking a closer look at her surroundings, she sat up and vomited.
Fortunately, there was nothing in her stomach, so Song Yue vomited a few times and then stopped.
A clear girl's voice then rang out.
"Xiaoyue, are you awake? Do you feel okay?"
She raised her eyes and found that she was in an ice cave. The entire cave was covered with ice. The temperature inside the cave was extremely low, and she exhaled cold air with every breath. Outside the cave, there was even more ice and snow.
Song Yue tried to recall the memories of this body, but found nothing. He then tried to think about the plot related to this copy, but also found nothing.
A bit tricky.
Since she doesn't know anything, she should not act rashly.
In order not to expose herself, she forced a smile and nodded to indicate that everything was fine.
"Thank goodness you're alright, so you won't hold us back." A woman sitting by the campfire to keep warm raised her eyebrows and looked at her coldly, "We'll be on our way when Chen Xin comes back."
