All things are born
The last time I opened the mind-reading journal was in Xiaohe Village.
She originally thought that this type of system would have a high-end main god space, or at least some light-screen touch screen.
Unexpectedly, I gave her a book.
This book is about octavo in size, with flip pages. The slightly yellowed paper has a familiar modern technological texture.
It doesn't look like a diary, but it's called a mind-reading diary.
Gui Yao has been completing three years of missions since she came here three years ago.
The completion rate of Xiaohe Village reached 90%, and the accumulated points just reached 500. She put all the points into basic health. The original owner's physical foundation was so poor that it was no wonder that he died so easily.
Gui Yao held up her face and hummed some songs she still remembered. Now looking at the ink marks, she slowly recalled how she had worked so hard to raise the favorability of these little animals to such a high level.
/Xiaohe Village collects animal favorability collection/
/Village entrance Huang's favorability is 100
The big orange cat next door has a favorability of 100
The Frog Family's Favorability: 100
Kitchen cockroach favorability 999
White Goose Favorability 12 /
We had just entered the city not long ago, but why did it feel like we were in a different dimension? Gui Yao narrowed her eyes and remembered that the most difficult tasks in the past were those that required a lot of energy.
It turns out that the real meaning of Xiaohe Village is Novice Village.
She sighed and continued to flip back.
You asked her why she opened it now?
Gui Yao looked at her points balance of 366, gritted her teeth and looked at the unlocking level of her Xianyu City.
/Xianyu City Side Quest/
Completed: Cat kills the lady 100%.
In progress: Phoenix Drink 10%
Unlocked: ????????
/Mind Reading Notes Main Quest/
Completed: Save Yourself
In progress: Marriage
She opened it and closed it, closed it and opened it again. Guiyao was a little hesitant about adding that column.
Her body is now considered to be in good condition, and her basic health is just enough to survive. Given that the difficulty of the mission has increased sharply after entering the city, she is thinking about improving her combat power.
"Host, do you want to learn sword techniques or staff techniques? The registration fee for the former is 1,000 points, and the latter is 600 points. Each subsequent position starts at 500 points."
Guiyao blinked: "You're back!"
I've been busy with other people's timelines these days and almost forgot that my sister's system has also been updated.
The system sounds as normal.
"The map of Xianyu City has been loaded. I will remind you if there are any tasks that can be unlocked in the future."
Guiyao nodded.
In the mind-reading notebook, the main task must be completed. For example, in the previous three years, her main task was to save her fragile life by accumulating points.
Side quests would earn quite a bit of points. However, Guiyao had only encountered the two side quests in Xianyu City so far, and she had even suspected that the side quests in Xiaohe Village didn't even exist.
The system pretended to be profound and didn't tell her.
Other small tasks, such as saving Momo that day and combing Miaomiao's hair, will give points based on the favorability of the animals.
She has been replenishing some basic health points here and there these days so that she can be energetic and focus on investigating the case.
"I'm serious. I want some force points."
Gui Yao looked at the unlocked black paint patches on the map of Xianyu City, but her mind was filled with the beautiful scenery of Xiaohe Village.
She stayed in Xiaohe Village for three years.
Three years is not a long time. After all, it took her twenty years to get out of the orphanage in her previous life.
Gui Yao studied veterinary clinical medicine for three years as an undergraduate, and she and her roommate Shen Yuan hit it off right away.
It was originally agreed that after graduation she would go to work at the pet hospital run by Shen Yuan's family.
Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes.
A good friend died in a car accident on the eve of graduation. In her suicide note, she left her shares in a pet hospital.
Gui Yao took over the pet hospital after graduation and worked as the director of the hospital for three years, until that rainy night when she accidentally traveled through time after rescuing a cat.
"System, I don't want to die again."
She placed the mind-reading notebook on her legs, supported her elbows on it, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and she just looked at the flower buds that were slightly blown by the wind and fell from the silver hairpin on her head.
Who picked this?
Guiyao misunderstood the closed window.
/ I can see what's going on in your mind. /
The system said.
Guiyao just blinked.
"It's a pity that I can read minds, but I can't read yours. But my inner world is rich and colorful. Sister System, you should know that if I die one day, you won't be able to see it anymore."
As soon as she finished speaking, the mind-reading notebook rose from her legs and floated in front of her eyes.
The page was turned to the back.
The buff column glowed with guiding lights, and the system said, "Remember I promised you something before we entered the city."
Gui Yao put her fingertips to her lips and smiled slightly.
Of course she remembered such important matters.
When she entered the city that day, she lay on the ox cart, bored, listening to the conversations of the little bugs and loaches in the crushed mud.
The sun was blocked by the leaves and flickered, and she was still thinking about the description of General Ren by her uncle and aunt: tall and mighty, a hero among men, with a strong back and strong arms.
I feel like I can knock her down with one punch.
This is not good.
Suddenly, the system's voice came to my ears.
"Hello, host. In response to the progress bonus of the Mind Reading Notebook, you will be given a buff."
Whether it's to make you less tired while riding in a car or to improve your vision at night or under the scorching sun, as long as it's logical, you can apply for it.
Gui Yao didn't hesitate: "I need self-defense skills."
She took out her handy small weapon, a dagger, and heard the system say in her mind that the application was approved.
/ After acquiring this skill, the host's physical functions when using a dagger will be infinitely close to that of an adult male. /
Gui Yao read it through, grasped the dagger and slashed the air in front of her, then curled her eyes.
"Can I approach the physical fitness of my previous life infinitely?"
It was decided.
Now she has naturally seen the buff related to the dagger.
One of the scratches was on her own hand.
He rubbed Ren Beixi's throat once.
Gui Yao was just about to ask how many points she would need to buy this kind of buff again.
“Knock knock.”
There was a gentle knock on the door not far away, and the mind-reading notebook that was just floating in the air instantly dissipated into light dust.
Gui Yao asked inwardly, feeling helpless and furious, "Will they deduct another 300 points from me next time I flip through the book?"
While gently pushing the door open.
She leaned over to look at Pinyue, whose expression was cold, and blinked: "What's the matter?"
Pin Yue bowed and said, "My dear, Master Gui said that the medicine you usually drink has been improved. He asked me to take you to the kitchen."
The rain that had been falling for a long time stopped at some point, and the distant mountains were covered by mist like gauze.
Steam was rising slowly from the bamboo forest in the west.
Gui Yao just looked at her with drooping eyelashes and asked in a greeting, "Sister Pinyue, is the scratch on your hand better?"
Pin Yue's expression remained unchanged as she continued, "My dear, I don't like servants to serve me closely. I've had some free time lately so I can go and apply the medicine. I only have a few scratches, nothing serious."
The General's Mansion covers a very large area.
But Guiyao had been wandering around for the past few days and had actually done almost everything, and had memorized some routes. The path she had just taken was obviously getting farther and farther away from the kitchen, but now she had wandered back to the same place.
She was a little exhausted.
She asked softly, "Sister, I was late at the government office today, so I didn't quite catch the final verdict of the two masters of the Zheng family."
As soon as he finished speaking, the footsteps in front of him seemed to become a little disordered.
"Sentenced to behead."
Pinyue stopped and looked back, looking at Guiyao with flushed cheeks and fingertips leaning against the bricks and tiles.
"But when my young lady came back, she went back to her room and locked the door."
"I'm afraid they don't know that when the Zheng family father and son were passing through Tangshui Street, someone shot them in the neck with a red-feathered bow and arrow. They both died in the prison cart on the way to the prison."
“…”
Gui Yao took advantage of the situation to act weakly, with a hint of surprise in her expression, but she was silently correcting herself in her heart.
It's not a bow, it's a crossbow.
/ Congratulations to the host, the completion rate of the side quest Phoenix Drink has increased to 11% /
"I told you not to rush when walking on weekdays. I was thinking that I could finally watch you drink a bowl of hot soup."
By the fire, my uncle sat on a small stool, fanning himself at the medicine pot. Seeing his daughter panting and wanting to sit down, he blocked the chair with his fan: "Calm down and sit down."
Gui Yao lowered her head slightly. Chen Shi's hair bun had only been done by her. Now it looked like a branch was bent and loosened into two pigtails.
She was stunned.
In ancient times, having loose hair was considered impolite.
The last second, she was thankful that there were only her and her uncle in the kitchen.
The next second, she saw sparks coming out of the stove not far away. The man was holding a piece of wood in his hand. He straightened his back slowly when he heard her exclamation.
The girl's hand grabbed the end of the braid in a panic to prevent the cloth from falling off again.
She looked at him with tears in her eyes, as if blaming him for his rash intrusion.
Ren Beixi suddenly remembered that he had picked up a small peach or pear flower in his mother's yard at noon this morning, and carefully pinned it on the silver ornament in Guiyao's hair while she was dozing off.
“Where did the flowers go?”
"What flower?"
Gui Yao looked at him in a daze. She seemed to feel that there was a hint of sharpness in his usual dark eyes.
Her lips turned a little pale because of panic.
"Young General, are you talking about the mountain magnolias of Yunchuan Temple? Although I didn't catch up with the Jingzhe ceremony today, I happened to run into the Zheng family father and son on my way down the mountain."
"You subdued them all by drawing your sword alone."
Gui Yao turned her back to her uncle, tilted her ear slightly and adjusted her hair. The corners of her eyes were red, and tears fell into Ren Beixi's eyes little by little.
"How impressive."
She closed her eyes slightly.
She didn't want her uncle and aunt to worry too much about her.
“Gurgle gurgle gurgle…”
Over here, the bubbling sound from the medicine jar has become quieter.
My uncle took something to insulate it from the heat and poured out the black medicine. The strong bitter smell of the Chinese medicine exploded in the air.
Finally, he carefully mashed the medicine residue at the bottom of the pot and put it into another small bowl.
"I thought you were tired from walking."
Now singing and dancing are not very good.
He divided the medicine and took out a piece of sugar from somewhere. Looking at Guiyao's ponytail, he paused and threw the sugar into her finally free hand.
"Take the medicine."
The big bowl was brought to Guiyao.
"You drink too."
The small bowl was stuffed into Ren Beixi's hands.
