Chapter 457 Transit + Chang Qiuluan
After spending ten years traveling all over the Ming Dynasty, enjoying the misty rain of the south of the Yangtze River and witnessing the wind and sand of the desert, Hu Shanxiang just laughed off the letters from her children begging her to return to the palace to retire and burned them directly.
Unfortunately, the children were more stubborn than she had imagined. After receiving hundreds of letters in succession, Hu Shanxiang, adhering to the mood of not wasting manpower and material resources, finally replied to them: My mother is dead, and I want to show my filial piety by crying at her grave!
Yes, in the second year after Zhu Zhanji passed away, the virtuous and filial Empress Hu became ill due to depression and followed the late emperor to the underworld.
Her name was Jing Manyin, Madam Sun's long-lost sister. Just when her children thought she had come to terms with her regrets and could return, she boarded a merchant ship and fled abroad with Xu Bin and his wife, never to be heard from again.
[Main quest completed——Rating: S]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the task. The task reward has been issued, and the achievement reward has been issued. Please check it carefully. It has been detected that the host under the N1 system has completed the regularization goal. We are providing related services to your system——]
Xu Zhujin, who had just returned to Xinghai, noticed the changes in N1 at a glance. The system, which had always been covered in animal mimicry, now revealed its original state.
"So your original skin is a fluorescent slime?"
Xu Zhujin circled the system with a touch of nostalgia, rubbed it a few times with her hand, and smiled as it sheepishly extended its two tentacle-like claws and rubbed them. "Slime fluid has the most plasticity... and fluorescent colors are the cheapest. Anyway, except for specific occasions stipulated by the company's mandatory order, our system can change its shell at will~"
"That's right, don't change the subject. This is a very formal recruitment occasion!" N1 said, and solemnly conjured up a long glass table and two armchairs. Then it jumped to one of them, and did not forget to stretch out its claws to signal her to sit opposite.
"Ahem, then, please allow me to introduce you to the employee benefits and salary packages for our regular employees."
"Wait a minute—" Xu Zhujin stretched out her long legs, leaning casually on the chair, and raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Little N1, you are not being honest. You haven't even said that if I retire after this job, what price should your time travel company give me as a 'contract worker'?"
"...Well, that's not the case. We've been working together for so long, and you're also in the Time Travel Division now... You and I, how distant are we?"
N1 hadn't expected Zhuzhu to see through his selfish motives so quickly, and he was flustered and a little discouraged. He really liked this partner. If he broke up, he didn't know what his next host would be like... So he wanted to tell Zhuzhu about the benefits of continuing, hoping that Zhuzhu would be tempted and stay!
Even though it didn't say these words out loud, Xu Zhujin saw through its little thoughts at a glance. She felt that although this little thing was becoming more and more human, its intelligence was still touching.
“Is this a contract for a regular employee?”
Xu Zhujin picked up the electronic light screen on the glass bead that specially materialized the contract, polished it for a moment, and seeing that it was an easy-to-operate touch screen, she immediately began to read it carefully.
The terms were clear, and N1 was there to explain any technical terms she didn't understand. After reading through them, Xu Zhujin ignored N1's hopeful glance and continued reading the other unbinding terms.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Zhujin, whose spiritual body felt a little tired, finally raised her finger and slowly placed it on the labor contract under N1's nervous gaze.
A subtle blue light flashed, and from then on she officially became a full-time employee of the Time Travel Department of the Universal Union Administration.
"Zhuzhu, you can now choose your next career direction~"
"What's your career path?"
"Yeah, for example, I was previously deployed to various small worlds as the Queen System. This is mainly the travel section of the Time Travel Division, which belongs to the role-playing category. Other similar systems include the Goddess System, the Dragon Aotian System, the Animal Simulation System, and so on."
N1 added quietly, "This unit offers the best benefits. I heard that every time a spot is released, intelligent beings from many worlds rush to sign up, so they're the least short of money!"
"...Oh, what other kinds are there?"
Xu Zhujin lowered her head and carefully selected the major categories of each unit scrolling on the screen, and felt that her eyes had been opened.
For example, the strategy section is divided into supporting actresses, cannon fodder, heroine, hero... and even non-heroes...
"Huh? This section's name is quite interesting: Cleaning Section...HE...Type? What does that mean?"
N1 quickly explained, "Our Time Travel Division primarily serves two groups. One is the intelligent beings in certain universes that I just mentioned. They provide nearly two-thirds of our funding and resources. The other group is the world itself."
"Not all of the countless universes are complete and healthy. For example, the small worlds you've visited, created by beings from a certain universe, are like a grain of sand compared to your world. Most of these small worlds will disappear in a short time, but some can escape this fate and gradually become new, complete worlds."
"The Crossing Division will accept missions from promising small worlds to help them improve themselves. At the same time, some complete worlds may be on the verge of collapse for various reasons, and we will also accept corresponding rescue work after evaluation. These seemingly grand things may actually be a strategy mission or a counterattack mission for each employee~"
"Um... you should tell me about the specific job content of HE-class."
"Most of the HE stories are those that have developed into small worlds due to being sadistic, having bad endings, or even unfinished. Due to the influence of too many negative thoughts of creatures, they have difficulty in developing completely and are even facing the risk of extinction. Therefore, the Time Travel Department established a Cleaning Department to help them remove that negative energy! HE stories..."
"OK, I get it. This is it!" Xu Zhujin quickly stopped talking and patted her chest, saying righteously, "This is perfect for a die-hard reunion fan like me!"
"...Okay, as long as you're happy. I'll confirm the department change then."
"Click, click, let's start a fresh and exciting adventure~"
[System transmission in progress——Transmission successful——]
[…So why do I have to be the queen again? ]
[Because your target is Zhu Biao.]
"Then I don't necessarily have to marry him, right? Isn't it just to prevent him from dying early? I have the strength and the means!"
[I don't know, but your mission is to reverse the Ming Dynasty's regrets. The necessary conditions include Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying successfully succeeding to the throne, and changing the ending of Empress Ma's death... But completing only these three may not necessarily achieve the requirements of reversing the regrets. My system kindly suggests that this is the best identity.]
Xu Zhujin glanced at the pregnant woman in front of her and another pregnant woman, and laughed: "That's great, I can experience the joy of being a mentally retarded child again, hehe!"
