Jiang Shu contracted a strange illness.
She read a novel until the early hours of the morning last night, and even after falling asleep, she was still holding her phone. But!
When I got out of bed this morning, I found an egg.
...It was an unusual-looking egg, larger than a chicken egg, about the size of her fist, with the color of the sky after rain and patterns resembling overlapping mountains.
She jumped to the ground, barefoot, opened the door, and asked, "Mom, did you come into my room this morning?"
"No." Zheng Lanxiang was still cleaning and didn't even look up.
Jiang Shuyin pulled her head back. Her father wouldn't play such a prank. Could the egg have appeared out of thin air?
【Hello, host, I can answer your question. Would you like to?】
Jiang Shuyin paused for about three seconds before choosing "need".
[You bound yourself to this system last night, and based on the principle that what you think about during the day manifests in your dreams at night, you created an egg-laying baby unique to your DNA.]
Jiang Shuyin's heart trembled slightly. She pointed at the egg lying perfectly still on the bed and said, "You mean, that's my own egg?"
She quickly touched her lower body and felt nothing unusual.
Here's the thing: the egg is created by the system and incorporates your DNA.
Jiang Shu's thoughts turned to biology. As a science student, shouldn't she ask questions when it comes to knowledge points?
"Excuse me, I can only provide the egg cells, so who provided the sperm? Your data package?"
[An egg is simply the manifestation of the host's ovum. For the egg to be fertilized, a suitable fertilizer needs to be found; this is the host's responsibility.]
It took Jiang Shuyin half an hour to process this news.
After a long while, she sat on the edge of the bed and couldn't help but ask the system again, "Why did you suddenly bind to me?"
[Genetic matching: The host outperformed the rest of the world.]
When the system arrived in this plane, it captured human brainwaves for data analysis. The planet has 5,651 languages and 224 countries and regions. Among them, there are 13 languages with more than 50 million speakers, and the host uses one of them—Chinese.
With a population of several billion, it can barely be considered a low- to medium-level civilization. Its level of civilization is so low that it hasn't even fully explored its own galaxy.
However, the system detected traces left by an extraterrestrial civilization, who chose humanity as the dominant species on this planet.
Jiang Shuyin wanted to ask more specific questions, but when she glanced at the alarm clock on her desk, she realized that there were only two hours left before the deadline for submitting the manuscript.
"Oh my god!"
My fingers flew across the keyboard, creating a jumble of characters, and I barely managed to submit the document within two hours.
At this moment, the VX icon started flashing.
Jiang Shuyin clicked to read it, and her eyes immediately softened.
Official: Are you done with your work?
Shangguan: Hmm, wanna chat for a bit?
Official: No, I'm still busy outside. What I meant was that you'd better stock up on some things at home, things are going to get chaotic outside.
Jiang Shu looked out the window. The bright sunlight shone on the curtains, the sky was azure, and below, the sounds of elderly people chatting with children could be heard. Everything seemed so ordinary.
Shangguan: Is there any explanation?
Official: Rumor has it you haven't been out for a while, have you?
[Please check your account after the transfer]
Jiang Shu sighed, took out her phone and checked the transfer: 50,000 yuan. It was always like this.
Official: Go buy some food and supplies for your home. Spend all the money, take a picture and send it to me for inspection. Now I'm off to do something.
He usually stops replying once the last three words are spoken.
Jiang Shuyin leaned back in her ergonomic chair, lost in thought. She met this boyfriend on an app developed by a friend. At the time, her family was pressuring her to get married, but in reality, she was tired of seeing everyone, so she posted an ad.
#Looking for a boyfriend, over 1.8 meters tall and not sleazy-looking#
There were quite a few replies, but she didn't seem to notice them; she was almost asleep when the official replies started.
At 3 a.m., the official asked: Is this a relationship with marriage in mind?
At the time, she thought Guan was quite innocent. They chatted for a while, and she sent him her photo. Her boyfriend didn't say anything for a long time.
Jiang Shu believes she is quite good-looking, with an appearance that leans towards the aesthetics of the ancients. She knows how to make the most of her advantages. Her black hair is tied low, and her delicate eyebrows are drawn into the shape of willow leaves. All she needs to do is apply a primer to her sallow face from staying up all night and apply lipstick with her fingertips. That kind of gentle and elegant beauty is sure to move any straight man, right?
"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move," that was her thinking at the time.
It took a long time before I received the message.
Official: You are very beautiful, please be my girlfriend.
[Please check your account after the transfer]
One transfer startled her so much that she sat bolt upright. A million yuan for a girlfriend fee. Without hesitation, Jiang Shuyin changed her online name to 'Shangguan'.
Based on her experience with online dating scams and the "video scam" phenomenon, she proposed a sustainable development strategy: only chat, no video calls, no photos, let feelings develop through conversation, and then see if the two are compatible.
She hasn't spent the million yet; at worst, she can pay it back. Right now, she's just keeping it in the app and earning interest, which is enough for her to eat and drink every day.
After talking for two months, I knew nothing about him except that his real name was Guan and that his family had a few hundred million yuan.
Thinking a bit too far ahead, Jiang Shu sighed, picked up a comb and ran it through her hair a couple of times, squeezed out two pumps of sunscreen and rubbed it evenly on her face, then put on her long dress.
Go outside!
When the door opened, Zheng Lanxiang had just finished her work. Seeing that she was dressed presentably, she knew she was going out.
"It's almost lunchtime, I'm not going to prepare anything if you don't come back."
Jiang Shuyin realized that it would take time to spend the 50,000 yuan, and pondered, "I probably won't be able to come back in time. I'll eat out."
Zheng Lanxiang waved her hand: Go ahead.
As soon as she opened the door, she could hear the cicadas chirping outside. It was already a little warm in early summer. Jiang Shu opened her umbrella. For someone like her who rarely went out, the sudden exposure to the sunlight was unbearable for her eyes and skin.
