Chapter 3 The Witch Boy 2
"Host, host! The Supreme God has replied to me!" An electronic voice rang in Xu Qiuqiu's mind.
"Great God! I heard that I finally have a host, and you even upgraded my system. I am now the upgraded version of the angst-filled female protagonist system."
"What's the difference with an upgraded version?" Xu Qiuqiu's lips twitched.
"Host, this mission is different. It's about letting the female lead experience a different life and make different choices for her," said the main god. He explained that tragic novels are no longer popular, so the main god upgraded it into a tragic female lead revenge system.
"What do you mean? Does it mean I can skip the plot and do whatever I want? Is it that simple?" Xu Qiuqiu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, but there are also tasks. The female protagonist of this world's tragic novels really wants to be happy, so we need to make her feel happiness. Secondly, we need to return to the Hehuan Sect to learn martial arts."
"Happiness points? How do I get them? The female lead likes Gu Qinan, so she's not going to make me win him over, is she?" Xu Qiuqiu felt a little uncomfortable just thinking about it. The thought of her winning over such a scumbag made her want to vomit.
"Then the host can find someone who truly likes you, right? Being treated sincerely will definitely earn you happiness points," 003 said.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at twisting the meaning of things. Not bad, not bad." Xu Qiuqiu gave 003 a thumbs up.
But why did she have this strange feeling that the system wanted her to fall in love?
"Thank you for the compliment, host! As long as you complete the mission and earn points, the system can upgrade, helping you complete missions better and faster, and allowing you to go home sooner." 003 was also happy to hear Xu Qiuqiu smile. It no longer had to worry about being abandoned; it too had a host now!
"So, you can give me a cheat code in the future?" Xu Qiuqiu said with sparkling eyes.
"What is a cheat code?" 003 asked, puzzled.
"Fine, this system is like a complete idiot," Xu Qiuqiu asked. "How many tasks do I need to complete to return to my original world?"
"Once you have 100,000 points, you can apply to be resurrected and return to your original world."
"How many points do I get for each task?" Xu Qiuqiu asked.
“Five hundred,” 003 answered honestly.
"Only 500 points for one world? That's outrageous!" Xu Qiuqiu did the math: 100,000 divided by 500 made her dizzy. "My god! You mean I have to do 200 missions to get back to my original world?!"
"Host, don't be discouraged! There are extra rewards for completing the mission! And with the upgrade of this system, your mission points will increase in the future!" 003 comforted him.
"How many points does it take to upgrade the system each time?" Xu Qiuqiu really didn't dare to have any hope.
"2000," 003 said somewhat embarrassedly.
"..." Xu Qiuqiu wanted to faint right then and there. "I have to go through at least four worlds to upgrade your system once. Why do I feel like I'm never going home?"
"Host, I'll try my best to apply for extra reward points for you!" Hearing Xu Qiuqiu say this, 003 also felt that this calculation did seem a bit unfair, but it could only offer encouragement.
"I'll try my best to help the host get home as soon as possible!"
Xu Qiuqiu felt a little comforted. Although the system was a rip-off, it seemed like a clueless child, and she couldn't bear to blame it.
The plot hasn't started with physical abuse yet; right now, Qi Gu Nan has just tricked him into this dilapidated wooden house.
She went outside. The cabin was surrounded by a bamboo forest that seemed to stretch endlessly. If she wanted to complete the mission and learn martial arts, she would definitely have to go outside. However, the original text said that this place was a maze and that she couldn't get out without someone to guide her.
"003, do you know how to get out of here?" Xu Qiuqiu planned to ask 003.
"Host, we can't find the exit because the system hasn't been upgraded," 003 said weakly, afraid that Xu Qiuqiu would dislike it. "Once the system is upgraded, this function will be available!"
"Okay, I got it." Xu Qiuqiu knew she shouldn't have asked 003; it seemed she would have to figure it out herself.
She decided to try going out on her own. She walked into the bamboo forest, and when she came out, she was back at the log cabin. No matter where she went, she always ended up back at the log cabin.
Xu Qiuqiu was exhausted, so she went into the cabin, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it while panting.
"This is unbelievable! Which bastard created this maze?" Xu Qiuqiu cursed.
She looked at the dry food in the room, which she estimated would last for two more days. The male lead would probably bring her food every three days, and also shower her with sweet words.
How is she supposed to get out? Is she really just going to sit here and wait to die, trapped for ages? Wouldn't that mean she'd be tortured by the male lead? No, no, she needs to figure out a way out. Should she wait for the male lead to come and find an excuse to say she wants to go for a walk?
Although Qi Gu Nan pretends to love her on the surface, he is actually just trying to steal her heart's blood, which is why he has imprisoned her here. So she doesn't know if Qi Gu Nan will agree to let her go.
She only regretted not learning more self-defense techniques, so that she could put a knife to Qi Gu Nan's neck and force him to take her out.
Qi Gu Nan is the male protagonist in the book, and his martial arts skills are very high, so she definitely can't threaten him. So we can only try the first method. Doesn't Qi Gu Nan like to pretend to care about her? Taking her out for some fresh air should satisfy her, right?
Although she is not good at anything else, she has an exceptional memory. She can remember the route after walking out once. This way, when Qi Gu Nan goes out to find medicine next time, she can take advantage of Qi Gu Nan's absence to go out on her own, return to the Hehuan Sect, and study martial arts properly. When Qi Gu Nan comes to capture her again, at least she will have the ability to protect herself.
After making up her mind, Xu Qiuqiu relaxed. She saw a package next to the room, which looked like Xu Xiaoqiu's clothes. She opened the package.
The package contained red clothes and some rather ornate jewelry.
Yes, the original female lead, Xu Xiaoqiu, was a flamboyant and bright woman who loved red dresses and gorgeous jewelry. However, because Qi Gunan preferred Wu Qingqing's simple and elegant style, he wouldn't let her wear dresses of that color or jewelry. Qi Gunan said it was gaudy and that Xu Xiaoqiu looked better in light-colored clothes, like a fairy emerging from the water.
Xu Xiaoqiu believed it immediately, gave up her favorite clothes and jewelry, obediently put on a simple dress and wore elegant jewelry, and then received Qi Gu Nan's satisfied look. Xu Xiaoqiu felt sweet inside.
Xu Qiuqiu sighed. This Xu Xiaoqiu was also a naive and innocent girl, unaware that she was being used as a substitute.
She looked at the dresses and guessed that Xu Xiaoqiu must really like them, so she didn't throw them away and just put them away.
She figured Xu Xiaoqiu definitely wouldn't want to be someone else's substitute either. She glanced at herself in the bronze mirror and smiled.
