Xu Manman couldn't wait to see today's sign-in rewards. The special rewards for New Year's Eve must be something extraordinary.
Xu Manman flashed into the space and immediately opened the system interface.
Updated items——?
????
It's really a question mark!
"Xiao Jin, what's going on?"
"The host can open it first."
Xu Manman did as she was told. After clicking on it, she saw a multicolored disc that looked familiar, but on it...
"Xiao Jin, it's still a question mark."
Yes, the surface of the disc looks colorful, and in the middle of the disc, a huge question mark is shining with golden light.
Apart from these, there are no other signs or prompts.
"Congratulations, host. This is the New Year gift package awarded by the Mastermind. The reward will be drawn randomly once."
"Then... what can I draw?" Apart from the different colors, nothing else can be seen on it.
"This was issued directly by the Mastermind. Xiao Jin doesn't have enough authority to see the specific data."
That's just a blind draw, there's not even a target, and there's not even a pointer on it. Who knows if what she drew is the same as what she actually got.
"Host, rest assured. The Mastermind is a supreme being. Such a thing will never happen."
Forget it, it’s free anyway.
Xu Manman grabbed the edge of the disc and turned it hard.
I saw the disc spinning wildly, accompanied by increasingly intense sound effects.
Just when Xu Manman felt that she was about to be dizzy,
"stare!"
The disc stopped, and the original question mark turned into a door-like symbol.
"What is this?" She was still being so mysterious even after she finished smoking it.
"Host! This is a two-way shuttle gate!" She actually heard joy and excitement from Xiao Jin's system voice.
"A time-travel portal? Like the one Tinker Bell uses? One that can travel through time and space?"
The more Xu Manman thought about it, the more excited she became. If it was like Doraemon's door, then wouldn't she be able to go back to the modern era?
With her current net worth, she would be extremely rich if she returned to her happy hometown.
When I get back, I'm going to buy Ms. Zhao a bigger villa, buy Lao Xu the off-road vehicle he's always wanted, and also my younger brother and younger sister...
Hahahahahahahahaha.
Xu Manman's pig-like laughter echoed in the space.
"Host, host!"
Brought back to reality by Xiao Jin's call, Xu Manman wiped the saliva left by her mouth being open for a long time.
Replied nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"
"This two-way shuttle gate can only travel through space, not time."
"ha?"
"In short, it can only be used in this time and space."
Xu Manman was stunned. Does that mean... there's no going back?
This time, Xiao Jin didn't reply. Instead, he projected a light screen in front of her, inside which...
That was...her home in her previous life.
In the master bedroom, why is Mom hugging her sister and crying? Is Mom not feeling well? The little brat even knows to wipe Mom's tears. How sensible!
The scene changed, and in the living room was Lao Xu, who looked a lot thinner.
Ah, my younger brother is back too. The wanderer finally knows when to go home.
But their expressions... made Xu Manman, who was separated by the screen, feel her heart skip a beat.
How...?
Following their gaze, on the shelf in the living room, there was - her!
Her black and white photo!
"Host Xu Manman was found dead suddenly at home on XX day of XX month in 2024 AD." Xiao Jin's emotionless system voice sounded in his ears.
"So, when I die, the modern Xu Manman...is gone."
At some point, the tears that had gathered broke through my eye sockets and slid down my cheeks.
Looking at her family immersed in sorrow on the screen, Xu Manman's tears seemed to flow endlessly, and she was so heartbroken that she couldn't even speak.
To her, it was like a long dream. She thought that when she woke up, she could go back and reunite with her family.
How come...we are separated forever?
So, she can never go back.
Because of the tears, the vision became blurry. Xu Manman tried hard to wipe away the tears and looked at the family members on the screen with greed.
The light curtain suddenly disappeared.
"Xiao Jin!"
The system is pretending to be dead.
"Xiao Jin, please let you out, please..." Xu Manman begged, asking her to take another look, a few more times.
"Host, that is already the past. You should focus on the present."
How to concentrate?
Before, she kept her past life in the deepest part of her heart, pretending to be indifferent and living every day seriously.
Today, the moment she saw her family, she could no longer hide her longing for them. She really... missed them so much.
Can't you just let her have some thoughts?
No matter how much Xu Manman called out, the system no longer responded to any information related to her previous life.
Mastermind: Fine, fine, Xiao Jin, I asked you to give me a gift, but you did it to me, stabbing your host on New Year's Day. Even Rong Mama isn't as cruel as you.
