Chapter 2 Sister-in-law is reborn (I)
"Okay, I got it!"
Gu Qingcheng didn't rush to communicate with the system, but first sent away the maid who came to deliver the message: "Go back and tell my mother first, I'll be there soon!"
"Yes! Sanniang! You, you must hurry up!"
The maid ran out of breath and stuttered when she spoke.
She knew that although Sanniang was young, she was very reliable.
Since I have promised, I will do it.
So the maid didn't delay and ran out again without even taking a breath.
Gu Qingcheng stood up and said to the two maids behind her in a deep voice, "Put these away."
The two maids bowed and agreed.
One of them came up to pack up the bamboo slips, pens and ink, while the other followed behind Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng didn't care. Her experiences in her past life had enabled her to develop the ability to remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis.
Even if there is someone following her, she can still communicate with that system without making any noise.
[…So, my mission is to enter the worlds derived from the storybooks and help the wishers fulfill their wishes?]
System: “Yes! You can understand it that way.” Actually, it’s an online article.
However, Gu Qingcheng was an ancient person, and she had no idea what online literature was.
[How do I enter? Disappear directly? Or use the method of "wandering in spirit"?] It's like Zhuang Gong dreaming of a butterfly.
System: “Oh, yes! It can be understood that way!” It must be soul traveling.
There was some excitement deep in the system kernel. The executor that he had chosen this time was very smart.
Even if he was an ancient person and was limited by the times, he could still extract useful information from his simple narration and make a reasonable understanding of it.
Through Gu Qingcheng, the system finally understood what it meant to draw inferences from one example and apply it to other similar situations.
If the executor is smart enough, it will be easier for him to succeed when doing the task.
Points can be easily earned.
As a system, it can achieve corresponding results.
Well, in their system world, they also pay attention to KPI, and it is also very inward-looking.
[Storybook, uh, I mean, can I choose the mission world? ]
"No! They are all randomly selected."
The system answered in a mechanical voice, worried that its words were too blunt and would scare away the executor.
It quickly added, "But don't worry, we will match the tasks according to the level of the executor."
[For example, I am a novice, so the tasks I just received are relatively simple. As I do more and become a veteran, the tasks will become more and more difficult? ]
The system nodded repeatedly: "That's right! That's right!"
[There is a reward for successful missions. Can it make me more beautiful? ]
The system was slightly excited, thinking that the executor was indeed attracted. "Yes! Points can be exchanged for attribute values. If your appearance value is higher, you will naturally become more beautiful."
"In addition, points can be exchanged for items in the system mall. Whitening pills, black hair pills, beauty cream, body cream... You can buy anything you can think of in the mall."
The system is desperately advocating it.
【The mission failed? 】
As a winner in life who has shared weal and woe with the emperor but has not been deserted by him, Gu Qingcheng is smart and sober.
She always thinks things through and won't be easily deceived.
"..." The system paused for a few seconds before it said cautiously, "There will be punishment. But don't worry, I'm a regular system, not a wild system that shocks or kills people at will."
"If you fail the mission for the first time, just unbind it."
"If you fail in the future, 1 point will be deducted."
Gu Qingcheng walked slowly through the courtyard, her brain divided into two parts——
One part was running frantically, while the other part was talking to the system with thoughts.
[1 point will be deducted for failure? What about completing the task? How much is the reward? ]
The system gave a straightforward answer: "1 o'clock!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded secretly. Both the reward and the punishment were 1 point, which was fair.
"My dear, our 'Wishful' system is really good. After you bind it, you will not only become more beautiful, but also experience a colorful life."
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng was silent, the system mistakenly thought that she was still hesitating, so it continued to promote the product with all its might.
[It doesn’t matter what I experience in life. I just want to become beautiful! ]
Gu Qingcheng herself didn't realize that she had always cared about her appearance.
She came from a prominent family. Her father was from a noble family and her mother was a princess of the imperial dynasty.
The couple was one handsome and the other beautiful, and they loved each other very much. They had no concubines and no illegitimate children.
Gu Qingcheng's brothers and sisters are also both talented and beautiful.
Only she was like a crow mixed in among a group of phoenixes.
His hair is sparse and yellow, his skin is dark, and his facial features clearly bear some resemblance to his parents, but there is just one word that describes him - ugly!
Because she is ugly, she has been criticized since she was a child.
Because she was ugly, she had to study harder and enrich herself with knowledge and talent.
Because she was ugly, after she assisted her husband to ascend the throne, and her husband had three thousand beauties, outsiders did not think that her husband was romantic and promiscuous, but instead felt that he was "wronged."
Because of her ugliness...she had to bear too much and even lost the rights that a woman should have.
Why? Are you unworthy of love just because you are ugly?
Should I die?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If it were in her previous life, Gu Qingcheng would not be so "willful".
But, she was reborn, and she had a few more decades for nothing, so a different way of living didn't seem so bad.
"Gu Qingcheng, if you are willing to bind yourself to me, I promise to give you a 'privilege'~~"
Gu Qingcheng was obsessed with her own heart knot and temporarily put the system aside.
The system was anxious and spent a huge amount of money to bind this smart executor.
"Privileges? Well, since you are so sincere, I will be bound to you!"
Gu Qingcheng came back to her senses and spoke seriously according to the system's words.
The system was happy and really thought that it was because of its hard lobbying that Gu Qingcheng made up her mind.
It quickly took action.
Swish! A transparent panel appeared in front of Gu Qingcheng, with a few words written on it.
Gu Qingcheng's pupils suddenly contracted and she subconsciously looked around.
The maid behind her still followed her respectfully.
In order to test whether the maid could see this suddenly appeared interface, Gu Qingcheng suddenly said, "Luqi, please help me wipe the sweat off my face."
Luqi is the maid who has always followed Gu Qingcheng. She is four years older than Gu Qingcheng and is only ten years old this year.
She is a hereditary servant and has worked for the Gu family for several generations.
Luqi has an ordinary appearance and acts cautiously. Three years ago, she was chosen by Princess Jiangling to serve Gu Qingcheng closely.
There were four maids chosen at that time. The three-year-old Gu Qingcheng happened to be learning to play the piano from her famous father.
When her father was teaching her fingering, he mentioned that there were four major guqins in ancient times, namely Haozhong, Raoliang, Luqi and Jiaowei.
Gu Qingcheng found it interesting, and the housekeeper reminded her to give names to the maids, so she gave the names of the four guqins to the four maids.
Luqi was the third oldest among the four, so she got this name.
Hearing Gu Qingcheng's instructions, Luqi did not dare to delay and hurriedly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Gu Qingcheng's sweat.
Gu Qingcheng stared at Luqi closely, not missing a single detail of her expression.
After observation, Gu Qingcheng was sure that Luqi could not see the thing in front of him.
No, to be exact, no one else can see it except herself.
"Of course no one else can see it! Only you can see this system."
Sensing Gu Qingcheng's little movement, the system said proudly.
Gu Qingcheng did not comment. After Luqi wiped the sweat off her face, she continued pacing.
While walking, Gu Qingcheng seemed to be looking forward, but in fact he was looking at the transparent panel——
Is the executor (Gu Qingcheng) bound to this system?
[Yes!] Gu Qingcheng made the choice with her mind.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Qingcheng felt that her soul seemed to be connected to something.
[Does this mean the binding is successful? ]
The system replied: "That's right! Gu Qingcheng, do you want to do the mission? Novice missions are relatively simple, and you have a 'privilege' I gave you~~~"
"Also, when you are on a mission, your soul enters the system world and remains stationary in reality. So, you don't have to worry about becoming an old man after spending decades in the mission world."
Gu Qingcheng looked around and found that she had arrived at the main courtyard where her parents were.
She walked around to the veranda and sat down on a railing. "Luqi, I'm hot and thirsty. Go get me some ice cream."
Luqi didn't doubt it, responded, and ran into the yard quickly.
After sending the maid away, Gu Qingcheng leaned against the pillar and said to the system: "Okay——"
