Chapter 38: The Wang family is left with nothing left to lose after the King of Tianliang is defeated!
When Wang Zhenbao won the top spot in the senior high school entrance examination, Si Yuan and Li Guihua, as the parents behind the top scorer, were naturally considered to have taught their daughter well.
The system finally saw movement in the long progress bar: [It’s moving! Host, the progress bar finally moved! 】
The system was almost in tears. It finally saw movement on the progress bar. It had been more than ten years since it came to this small world, and there had been no movement before. It was worried that Si Yuan had never lived in the modern technological world and was not used to this world, so he had not been able to advance the task progress.
After all, the world of Tiancangjie, a world of immortal cultivation, also has an ancient background, and the first small world of the mission he traveled through before also had an ancient background. Therefore, the system believes that Si Yuan is like a fish in water when doing tasks in the small world with an ancient background, but he will not be able to do tasks in the small world with a modern background that he has seen for the first time.
It was just that the system was worried that Si Yuan would think that it didn't trust him as a host and would get upset and quit, so it kept it to itself and didn't say it out loud.
After waiting for so long, I finally saw some progress in the mission.
Si Yuan was very calm. He was not at all as excited as the system. So far, everything was going according to his plan.
There is no such thing as time in the cultivation of immortals. Si Yuan is accustomed to immortal cultivators secluded for decades or even hundreds of years. Naturally, he does not think that it is a big deal to prepare for a mission for more than ten years.
Si Yuan thought it was totally worth it to use just over a decade to lay a good foundation for Wang Zhenbao, the cannon fodder female supporting role, and to prepare for future plans.
Si Yuan: [Calm down, the progress bar will be full sooner or later, don’t worry, didn’t I tell you that? Just leave the task to me. You just need to do the logistics for me. We are bound together and have the same interests and goals. We cannot hold each other back. We must work together to complete the task better and faster. By then, I will be promoted to the top power in the world of immortal cultivation, and you will become the strongest system in the heavens and the worlds...】
Si Yuan cooked a pot of chicken soup, and the smell confused the system: [Hey, is it, is it? I can upgrade to become the strongest system in the universe... Hehe...】
Si Yuan discovered that the system seemed to be obsessed with upgrading and becoming stronger, so he continued to paint a rosy picture for it and feed it with sweet talk in this regard: [A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Let's start with the small world and do the tasks. I will gain task points to comprehend the rules of the world and improve my realm, and you can also get rewards to improve yourself. We will become stronger step by step, and sooner or later we will be able to become the strongest partners in the universe! 】
The system was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and said excitedly: [That’s right, as long as we work together and strive to complete the tasks, the world origins I obtain in each world will accumulate little by little, and sooner or later I will be upgraded to the strongest system! 】
Si Yuan's eyes lit up: [The origin of the world? Can you obtain the origin of the world from the world every time you complete a task? 】
The system immediately became guilty and kept silent. The Origin of the World was a good thing and it was reluctant to share it with Si Yuan, so it never mentioned it to Si Yuan. It also had its own selfish motives, so it only told Si Yuan that he could get task points by completing the task, and the task points could be exchanged for things from the system mall, so these task points were actually virtual currency and could not be compared with the Origin of the World.
Si Yuan pretended to be angry and said that he was going to quit: [System, I treat you as a partner who supports and accompanies each other, but you are still hiding things from me. I think we can't continue to cooperate...]
The system said in a panic: [Host, don’t be angry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. In fact, these tasks are the world consciousness of these small worlds asking me for help. They use the origin of their world as a reward and ask us to help them resolve the grievances of the cannon fodder and prevent the grievances of the cannon fodder from affecting the stability of the world. But this kind of small world can only provide a little bit of world origin, which is not enough to share...】
Si Yuan said angrily: [There’s not enough to share, so you just don’t give me any, right? Don't forget that I'm doing the mission! 】
The system apologized repeatedly, expressing its willingness to compensate and share the origin of the world with him.
After all, the system can still distinguish between one meal being full and another one being full.
Si Yuan's tone softened and he sighed: [Who told me to treat you as my good partner? Since you need the origin of the world to upgrade, I can't bear to see you unable to upgrade. How about this, from now on when I complete a mission, I will use my portion of the world origin to exchange things with you. I will take a small loss, and I hope you can become a better person...】
The system was so moved by Si Yuan, wow, the host is so good to it, and it even ate alone without telling the host, it is such a bad system.
Si Yuan sighed again: [But after you lied to me, my trust in you has been greatly reduced. In order for us to no longer doubt and hurt each other in the future, I think it is necessary for us to sign a contract and let the Dao be a witness. Only in this way can we trust each other with confidence, right? 】
The system, which had previously deceived the host and thought itself to be a bad system, immediately agreed with a deep sense of guilt: "Okay, I am willing to sign a contract with you, and the Tao will be my witness, so that we can trust each other. 】
It also felt guilty, worried that since it had concealed the origin of the world from Si Yuan, Si Yuan would no longer trust it and would be unwilling to do his mission well, so it felt at ease to sign a Dao Contract.
Since Si Yuan was the one who was deceived, this Avenue Contract was naturally drafted by Si Yuan. In order to prove its trust in Si Yuan, the system simply glanced at the first few clauses and signed it directly without reading them carefully one by one.
The contract signed by both parties is based on the Great Dao. Unless one has strength beyond the Great Dao, violating the contract will result in severe punishment by the Great Dao, and it is normal for the true spirit to perish from then on. Therefore, no one dares to violate the Great Dao contract.
After the system signed the contract, it felt the restraints on itself and was suddenly shocked: [Host, why do I feel that you and I...] Although they were bound to each other before, they could unbind at any time, but now it feels that it is tied to Si Yuan, or Si Yuan is the master and it is the vassal!
Si Yuan said with a smile: [Didn’t you read the contents of the contract? In order to prevent you from deceiving me again in the future, you have become my subordinate! 】
The system panickedly took out the contract it had just signed and checked it carefully line by line. Sure enough, it saw the terms of selling itself at the back, but they were just written among some insignificant terms. Who would read those detailed terms word by word when signing an ordinary cooperation contract!
I never expected that as a liberal leader, I would sell myself out like this!
The system cried out: [Host, you are too insidious and cunning! She actually tricked the president into selling herself! 】
Si Yuan didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. After all, the system had deceived him first. Moreover, as a cultivator in the immortal world, cheating and deceiving were daily routine operations. There were pure, innocent and honest cultivators in the immortal world, but they were all the targets of cheating and deceiving. This precious species needed to be protected. Otherwise, who would these cunning guys cheat and deceiving? Those who grew up with the same kind are not easy to deceive.
In fact, Si Yuan had been planning the system in the previous world. After learning about the existence of the system in the Tiancang Realm, Si Yuan immediately contacted his master who was far away in the upper realm of the Tiancang Realm, and obtained from his master detailed information about the existence of the system in all the heavens and worlds.
After testing the ability of this dad-competing system on himself and finding it useful to him, Si Yuan began to plan to capture the system. He only let the system bind himself, and the initiative was in the hands of the system. If the system abandoned him one day, wouldn't he have to find a way to contact his master to take him back to Tiancang Realm?
So Si Yuan started to lay out the plan from the last world, and only now has he finally mastered the system completely.
Si Yuan had long known that system upgrades required the origin of the world, and that the purpose of the system binding the host to complete tasks was to seek the origin of the world. After all, the information about the system that his master had passed on to him detailed that the energy source of the system was the origin of the world.
The origin of the world is a very precious and renewable resource. Every world has an origin, and all things in the world are born from the origin. If a world loses too much origin, it will enter a state of destruction.
However, if only a little bit of the origin is lost, the world itself can recover on its own. So these systems make deals with the world consciousness. The system binds the host to travel through various worlds to help the world consciousness solve problems, and then obtains the world origin given by the world consciousness. The system uses the so-called task points, points, contribution values... no matter what it is called, it is just something like this to fool the host, open the system mall to the host, and the system obtains the world origin.
Si Yuan actually knew the inside story a long time ago. Although the origin of the world is magical and powerful, it is actually useless to Si Yuan. He cannot rely on the origin of the world to improve his strength. Moreover, once he absorbs the origin of the world, he will have a closer connection with that world, a connection that is difficult to eradicate.
The system absorbs the origin of the world and establishes a close connection with the world itself, which is a good thing for them, because these systems are meant to travel between the worlds to perform trading tasks. The closer the connection between the system and the world, the easier it is for the system to tear open the barriers of the world and travel through it, and the more energy it saves.
Therefore, there is no problem for the system to absorb the origin of the world.
But Si Yuan is a living person, so it’s different for him. He is a cultivator from the Tiancang Realm. If he casually absorbs the origins of other worlds and establishes close connections with other worlds, the world consciousness of the Tiancang Realm will not like him.
It's like when your own child goes out and takes it upon himself to recognize many godmothers and completely forgets his biological mother. How can the biological mother not be heartbroken and angry? So what benefit can this traitor get?
Si Yuan hid the secret that he was a time traveler and behaved like a good kid in Tiancangjie. Of course, he would not look for godmothers everywhere and anger Tiancangjie, his biological mother.
Among all the worlds in the heavens, the Tiancang Realm is also the top world. People from many small worlds try to enter it but are unable to.
Si Yuan is not that stupid, so the origin of the world is useless to him, and he doesn't care about the origin of these small worlds. What he really cares about is that by traveling through these small worlds, he can improve his world affinity while completing tasks, comprehend the world laws revealed by these small worlds, and improve his soul realm. He will become stronger after returning to the Tiancang Realm.
Moreover, the rules of the small world that he comprehended can also complement the world rules of the Tiancang Realm to a certain extent. He will be favored by the world consciousness of the Tiancang Realm and become the most beloved child of the Tiancang Realm.
His master, who was an immortal in the upper realm of Tiancang Realm, also reminded him not to absorb the essence of other worlds for the sake of immediate interests.
The reason why Si Yuan acted like he really wanted the origin of the world in front of the system was to confuse the system. If he didn't show that he cared about the origin of the world, how could he make the system feel guilty and allow himself to take the opportunity to sign a Dao Contract with the system?
Of course, there is also the factor that the system is really easy to cheat.
Si Yuan listened to the crying voice of the system in his mind, which gave him a headache. He had to patiently comfort it: [But the reason I did this is because I was deceived so badly by you, right? If you don't betray my trust, I will definitely not use the Avenue Contract to restrict you. 】Let me put the blame on it first and do some PUA on it,【But don't worry, although you will be dependent on me after we sign the Avenue Contract, you are also my other half, and I can't live without you anymore. We should be honest with each other, without hiding anything, and we can trust each other more. In the future small world missions, the two of us will work together and we will definitely be able to complete the mission faster and better. I will try my best to save as much of the origin of the world as possible for you...】
The system thought hesitantly, it seemed that it had deceived the host first, and the host had designed it for the mission. In fact, as long as the host did not do anything to it, it was still free...
The system that has been influenced by Siyuan’s PUA is still making excuses for Siyuan.
Si Yuan was of course happy to see this happen, and added fuel to the fire: [And after you and I become half of each other's body, you will also be able to gain great benefits. In the future, you will be able to hide in my body and reside in the top worlds like Tiancang Realm. When I ascend to the upper realm of Tiancang Realm, the cultivation environment will be better, and it will also be of great help to the system. Furthermore, you need the world origin to upgrade, so we can also lift the restrictions on accepting missions. You don’t have to only do cannon fodder missions, you can also accept other types of missions...】
The Tiancang Realm is divided into the immortal world and the upper realm. Si Yuan's master is an immortal in the upper realm. According to his master, the upper realm is full of powerful people, and there are even powerful beings that can capture the system at will in the chaotic void. This is why the master in the upper realm can find so much detailed information about the system for Si Yuan.
The system can travel through all the heavens and worlds, but a low-level system can only travel through small worlds. If they stay in a big world like the Tiancang World for too long, they will be discovered by the consciousness of the big world, and then they will be in trouble.
That is to say, after the Pin Dad System was bound to Si Yuan, Si Yuan contacted his master, and his master reported the system to the world consciousness of the Tiancang Realm. Otherwise, if this system dared to abduct Si Yuan, who was blessed with great fortune, it would have been struck to death by a bolt of lightning.
Si Yuan's words made the system, which was originally so dissatisfied, feel moved. This meant that after binding with Si Yuan, it would be able to obtain a household registration in the Tiancang Realm. This was too exciting for the system.
So the system, which was previously very dissatisfied with being tricked into signing a contract to sell itself, said hesitantly: [Since it has come to this, then host, you must be nice to me in the future and help me upgrade...]
Si Yuan knew that the system had been almost fooled by him into being completely devoted to him, so he felt relieved and said: "Of course, you are my system, my other half, we have the same interests, if you are well, I will be well too, and if I am well, you will be well too. Of course, I will treat you well. 】
So the system had no choice but to follow Si Yuan to the end, and it also completely released all its functions to Si Yuan.
It was only at this time that Si Yuan realized that the system was really easy to use. It was simply a universal search engine. Without leaving his home, he could search for the original male protagonist's movements. Isn't it a piece of cake to complete the task?
Si Yuan also searched for the information of the original heroine, and then found out that the original heroine Tao Xiaoyu's family has not gone bankrupt yet, and she is living happily under the protection of her parents. She is just an ordinary happy girl. She has just finished the high school entrance examination and is about to go to the No. 1 High School in S City.
S City’s No. 1 High School is also the high school that Wang Zhenbao is going to attend. It is the best high school in S City.
As the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, Wang Zhenbao was naturally sought after by all the key high schools, but the Wang family was not short of money. The various benefits and bonuses offered by the key high schools were not attractive to the Wang family at all. Wang Zhenbao naturally chose the No. 1 High School with the strongest faculty.
The original heroine Tao Xiaoyu also got admitted to the No. 1 high school. Although her grades were not as impressive as Wang Zhenbao's, she was also one of the best.
So on the first day of high school, Wang Zhenbao saw a familiar face among his new classmates in the new school and with the new teacher.
No. 1 High School attaches great importance to students' academic performance and specially places the top 100 students in two rocket classes.
As the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, Wang Zhenbao was undoubtedly selected into the Rocket Class, and the original heroine Tao Xiaoyu, who also had outstanding grades, happened to be assigned to the same class as Wang Zhenbao.
Si Yuan had already known the result of the class division through the system, but he did not intervene at all.
In the original trajectory of fate, the heroine Tao Xiaoyu was also in this class in high school, but because of Wang Zhenbao's poor academic performance, he did not go to the first high school, but went to the fourth high school, and had no intersection with Tao Xiaoyu.
Now the trajectory of fate has gone astray. Wang Zhenbao entered the Rocket Class of the No. 1 High School as the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, and happened to be in the same class as Tao Xiaoyu.
When Wang Zhenbao saw Tao Xiaoyu, who had an innocent look and a bright smile on her face, he was stunned for a long time before he could barely match her with the pitiful Tao Xiaoyu in his past life who had a tragic love affair with Ling Feng.
In terms of appearance, the Tao Xiaoyu that Wang Zhenbao saw at this time was actually not much different from the Tao Xiaoyu in her twenties who graduated from college many years later, except that she still had a little bit of baby fat on her face, making her look a little more immature.
But their appearance was almost exactly the same, so Wang Zhenbao should have been able to recognize her at a glance.
But the reason why Wang Zhenbao was stunned and did not dare to confirm Tao Xiaoyu's identity for a moment was because the temperaments of the two were so different.
At this moment, Tao Xiaoyu in front of her was a sunny girl with a cheerful and lively smile. Her beautiful eyes were always filled with smiles, as if she was smiling at everyone, giving people the feeling that she was full of vitality and energy.
However, the Tao Xiaoyu who followed Ling Feng in Wang Zhenbao's memory was a pitiful, delicate and fragile little white flower. She did not have the lively, cheerful and sunny temperament at all. She was like a dodder that was so weak that it needed to cling to others and was completely unable to support itself.
Wang Zhenbao almost doubted whether the girl he saw who looked exactly like Tao Xiaoyu was Tao Xiaoyu's twin sister.
She took the initiative to approach the girl and started a conversation: "My name is Wang Zhenbao, what's your name?"
The lively and cheerful girl smiled before she spoke, and said in a clear voice: "Hello, my name is Tao Xiaoyu, Tao as in ceramics, and Xiaoyu as in drizzling rain. Your name is really nice, and you can tell at the first glance that you are your parents' treasure. My name is a bit perfunctory, because my mother gave birth to me when it was drizzling, so I was named Tao Xiaoyu..."
Wang Zhenbao hardly heard what Tao Xiaoyu kept talking about. He was shocked. She was actually Tao Xiaoyu!
Wang Zhenbao never thought that Tao Xiaoyu would be like this if she hadn't met Ling Feng when she was young. So what was the reason that made Tao Xiaoyu become the weak and pitiful Dodder after growing up?
Wang Zhenbao actually hates Tao Xiaoyu very much. She doesn't hate Tao Xiaoyu as much as she hates Ling Feng, but she also hates her.
After all, Ling Feng bankrupted the Wang family in the name of venting Tao Xiaoyu's anger, and later he killed all three members of the Wang family in order to prove his love for Tao Xiaoyu.
Tao Xiaoyu did not attack the Wang family, but the Wang family was destroyed because of Tao Xiaoyu.
Wang Zhenbao knew that his real enemy was Ling Feng, but it was hard for him not to vent his anger on Tao Xiaoyu.
But now, seeing Tao Xiaoyu, who was the same age as him and only about ten years old, Wang Zhenbao felt extremely complicated when he saw her bright smile and her friendly desire to make friends with her.
It was hard for her to regard the Tao Xiaoyu in front of her now as the same person as the Tao Xiaoyu in her memory of her previous life.
Tao Xiaoyu thought that Wang Zhenbao took the initiative to talk to her because he wanted to make friends with her. As she liked making friends, she quickly treated Wang Zhenbao as a new friend she met in a new environment and kept chatting with Wang Zhenbao.
Wang Zhenbao really wanted to walk away, but thinking that she was the one who took the initiative to find Tao Xiaoyu, in order not to make her behavior seem unreasonable, she endured it.
At worst, I can just slowly distance myself from Tao Xiaoyu later.
Wang Zhenbao thought so in his heart.
However, if she wants to distance herself from someone, she can't do that just because she wants to.
After Tao Xiaoyu unilaterally determined that Wang Zhenbao was a friend, she treated Wang Zhenbao very warmly, just as she treated her friends. After class, she took Wang Zhenbao to the canteen to buy snacks and generously shared snacks and drinks with Wang Zhenbao.
