Chapter 90 Soul
Humans are fragile and easily mortal, so they need to be raised with care.
Now Xia Yingnuan needs to add some more precautions to her human breeding notes.
Humans are fragile and vulnerable to death, and mentally sensitive. When raising a pet, you need to pay attention to its mental health at all times. Otherwise, it is easy for it to emo in places where you can't see it, which can cause a series of problems such as reduced appetite and illness.
If you meet a person who is thoughtful, you should be more careful because she will often keep things to herself and rely on herself to realize things. If she is a little slow, she will become like this.
Xia Yingnuan left the puppet and squatted in front of Ning Hanqi hesitantly.
Xia Yingnuan lay on the bed and glanced at Qiao Xi who was still sleeping in the bed next to her. She leaned sideways, facing away from her, turned on her cell phone, set the brightness to the lowest, and opened the Hell APP software.
She wanted to take a look at the points calculated from the live broadcast of this dungeon.
Points: 165 (50 points for dungeons + 60 points for side quests + 10 points for ghost favorability + 10 points for popularity + 20 points for livestream gifts + 15 points for the "Abandoned House" dungeon)
Seeing the score breaking double digits, Xia Yingnuan sat up excitedly. After looking at the score again and again and realizing it was indeed this number, she calmed down a little and looked at the score table at the back.
She was surprised when she saw the side quest points, but she was stunned when she saw the favorability of the ghosts.
What's going on? What is Goblin Favorability?
Could it be that she triggered it by tearing the white-clad ghost girl's clothes? That would be so embarrassing.
For a moment, Xia Yingnuan didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
She didn't bother with the idea anymore and quickly went into the mall to look at the items she wanted to buy.
At this moment, all the items in the first row of the mall are lit up. The highest one requires 150 points, which is a skill book for communicating with animals.
If she didn't have so few skill points right now and the next live broadcast was imminent, she would really want to buy a book like this. It would be nice to play with dogs and cats and reach the peak of her life.
She looked ahead again. Strength-boosting water cost 50 points, and mental strength-boosting pills cost 100 points. She could buy both of them, but after buying the second copy, all the points she earned would have to be used up. She felt a little reluctant for a moment.
She looked at the strength, then the mental strength, and finally chose the strength-enhancing water. After buying it, she thought of a question.
After using this amplification water, will she become a muscular woman?
So I held the glass of red liquid, bit my thumb nail, and felt a little conflicted for a moment.
Her eyes fell on the lottery plate at the bottom of the mobile phone page. Each draw cost 10 points. She now had 115 points, so she could try to draw one.
Thinking of this, she put the strength-enhancing water aside and started the lottery.
Before the lottery, she had a ritual, which was her usual habit. She placed her phone upright in front of the pillow, crossed her legs, put her hands together, and after bowing three times, she exhaled, picked up the phone with full momentum, clicked the lottery disc, and waited for the prize to be drawn. The whole action was done together.
When the lottery wheel stopped, she rubbed her hands in anticipation.
[One serving of stinky tofu]
"Oh my god!" Xia Yingnuan felt that a lady like her would one day be so angry at this broken system that she would burst into swear words.
But you really can't blame her. She worked so hard to get 10 points, and only got a piece of junk like this. Everyone would want to curse her.
Looking at the stinky tofu in her hand, Xia Yingnuan wanted to eat it but couldn't bear to. This was not just stinky tofu, it was a big treasure that should be worshipped.
But she really couldn't believe that she could get such a thing by spending 10 points, so she tried to eat a piece, chewing it with relish while she shed sad tears.
This is genuine stinky tofu, without any gold or silver inlays.
Reluctant to eat the remaining stinky tofu, she placed it on the bedside table. Her eyes fell on the lottery plate again. She hesitated for a long time before finally making up her mind to try again.
If it's stinky tofu again this time, she will never touch the lottery plate again, even if those points turn to ashes.
After thinking about this, she took a deep breath, performed the ceremony before the lottery again, and then quickly clicked the lottery button.
She didn't look at the lottery plate, but kept her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed.
After a while, she opened one eye slightly, and when she saw that the prize she won seemed to be a ring, she almost screamed with excitement.
She was afraid that this was really some lucky draw for stinky tofu, but she didn't expect there was something else inside.
Pick up the very ordinary ring and check the system's introduction to it.
[Storage Ring (Ordinary)]
[Details: There is a 1 square meter space inside, which can only hold inanimate objects and cannot be upgraded.]
"Space ring?!" Xia Yingnuan exclaimed softly. Qiao Xi was woken up by her and turned over. She was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth.
Although it was only one square meter, this golden finger that only appeared in novels was still very exciting. She tried to put the backpack in, and after a long time of experimenting, she finally managed to put the bag in.
She took out the bag again as she did just now and tried it several times. After she was sure she was proficient in it, she fell exhausted on the bed and didn't want to move for the time being.
At this moment, there are only 95 points left. She doesn't plan to draw anymore. She doesn't know what she will draw next time. Although she may draw something similar to this space, she may also draw something as deceptive as stinky tofu.
She should take a shower and go to bed early.
In the next few days, the anchors completed various tasks and requirements according to the director's requirements. After the filming was completed, they each left with their suitcases.
Because she didn't take the bus sent by the company, Xia Yingnuan dragged her suitcase to the roadside to wait for the bus. Unexpectedly, a black Lincoln stopped in front of her, and then two men in neat suits got out, dressed like bodyguards.
"What do you want?" She looked at them warily and backed away.
"Miss Xia, please come with us." said the bodyguard on the left.
"You guys just go when you say you want to go. That would be so embarrassing for me." Xia Yingnuan reflexively retorted. Seeing the bodyguard's stern expression, she immediately smiled and said, "It was just a slip of the tongue. I'm used to it." Then she paused and continued, "Who wants to see me? I can go myself. You two don't have to come all the way here."
"Miss Xia, you'll know when you get there." The two bodyguards didn't waste any more words with her. They just walked up to her, one of them grabbed one of her arms, and carried her into the car.
"Hey, let me go!" Xia Yingnuan screamed, but when she saw two bodyguards sitting in the car, her voice suddenly stopped. She immediately became timid and whispered, "My suitcase."
The car drove all the way into the city and finally stopped in front of a courtyard house. Several bodyguards got out of the car and wanted to pull her out.
"I can walk by myself." After getting out of the car, Xia Yingnuan straightened her clothes and looked around calmly on the surface, but she was actually very panicked inside.
After following the others into the yard, they respectfully said to the old man sitting in the yard playing with birds, "Master Shan."
"Yeah." The old man took the towel handed to him by the servant and wiped his hands, then turned his gaze to Xia Yingnuan.
"Your name is Xia Yingnuan?" the old man asked.
"Ah." Xia Yingnuan responded and asked, "I wonder what this old man wants me for?"
"Dad, are the people here?" A female voice came from afar, and then several people came out from the door. Leading them was a lady dressed very elegantly, but she was a little hurried at this moment, and her steps were a little fast. When her eyes fell on the stranger Xia Yingnuan in the yard, her eyes obviously lit up.
"Is this the person you are looking for?" he said, looking at the old man.
Mr. Shan nodded.
The lady came forward with tears of joy, grabbed Xia Yingnuan's hand and said anxiously, "Little girl, you must save my daughter."
"ah?"
Later, Xia Yingnuan looked at the photo in her left hand and the stone in her right hand, feeling a little confused for a moment.
Lord Hell Messenger?
Is she the eldest daughter of the Shan family, one of the four major families in Kyoto?
"I wonder what Madam Shan means by this?" Xia Yingnuan asked, holding the two things in her hands.
"Auntie!" At this time, a person rushed in from outside and rushed straight to Mrs. Shan, saying in surprise: "I saw someone who looked very much like my cousin. She was wearing a red wedding dress. I have never seen my cousin wear a red wedding dress, so I didn't dare to recognize her for a while."
"Mu Ling?" Xia Yingnuan pointed at Mrs. Shan and then at her in surprise.
"Sister!" Mu Ling saw her, rushed over and hugged her arms, smiling and said, "Why are you here?"
"Lingling, do you know her?" Now it was Mrs. Shan and the others' turn to be surprised.
"Yeah." Mu Ling nodded and said, "Luckily I met my sister when I entered the dungeon this time, otherwise I would have to stay inside." She felt scared when she said this.
"What's going on?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shan frowned.
The old man who had been silent beside him also frowned.
So Mu Ling told Madam Shan and the others what she knew in the copy, and she also learned some of the rest from Xia Yingnuan.
"Lord Messenger of Hell?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shan looked at Mr. Shan.
"It seems that what the young man told us is correct." said Mr. Shan.
"What's right? Aunt, Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Mu Ling asked in confusion.
Madam Shan asked, "Little girl, how many copies have you gone through?"
Xia Yingnuan bit her lip a little embarrassedly.
"Oh, sorry, I was so abrupt." Mrs. Shan was shocked to realize what she had just asked. "I'm sorry, I was too anxious to ask such a question."
Xia Yingnuan shook her head.
Madam Shan pondered for a moment and asked, "Can I ask you this? Did you see the Lord Hell Messenger in these two instances?"
Xia Yingnuan could still answer this question, and she nodded.
Mrs. Shan's eyes were red with excitement. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "There is finally news about Yun Jun."
"Auntie, what's going on?" Mu Ling asked.
"I'll tell you later." Madam Shan patted her on the back and looked at Xia Yingnuan and said, "The stone in your hand was given to me by my daughter's teammates. They said that as long as this stone lights up, someone who can save her will appear."
Xia Yingnuan quickly understood the situation and pointed at herself, glaring, "Madam Shan, are you saying that I can save your daughter, Lord Hell Messenger?"
"Ah? That really is my cousin!" Mu Ling finally understood the situation and said in surprise, "I was wondering why that person looked so much like my cousin. So it is indeed my cousin."
"Miss Xia, although we know this will be very troublesome for you, please understand a mother's concern for her child. My daughter, Shan Yunjun, entered the dungeon at the age of eighteen, failed in the dungeon at the age of twenty-one, and has not been able to get out to this day..."
"When I thought I was going to lose her, her teammates gave me this stone, which also gave me hope. I waited for five years." Mrs. Shan said this with tears on her face.
Xia Yingnuan was stunned. That Hell Messenger had been trapped in the dungeon for five years? Wouldn't that make him twenty-six this year?
I don’t know if being stuck in a dungeon counts as age.
"So please, Miss Xia, save my daughter." Mrs. Shan said as she was about to kneel down, her face looking much older in an instant.
Xia Yingnuan quickly supported her, "Madam, this is not allowed."
"Auntie." Mu Ling also started crying at this time. She supported Madam Shan and looked at Xia Yingnuan. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she stopped herself. In the end, she was just a teenager, so she couldn't hold back her emotions and cried out, "Sister, please save my cousin."
Seeing both the big and small crying, Xia Yingnuan, no matter how hard-hearted she was, felt a little soft-hearted.
Mr. Shan added fuel to the fire, "Our family will fully support you. If Miss Xia needs any help, we will do our best."
This huge piece of cake in front of her eyes tempted Xia Yingnuan to suppress the last bit of stubbornness in her heart. She nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely help you as long as I can."
After leaving the Shan family, Xia Yingnuan was a little confused for a moment. Did she just agree to help them rescue the Lord Messenger of Hell?
Why did she feel so inflated? How could a small girl like her want to fight against the system?
Isn't she preparing a coffin for herself and seeking death?
But when she thought of the benefits the Shan family had given her, she was moved again.
Since she has already boarded the Hell APP, in order to untie herself, she must gather 1, 2, 3, 4... 10 million points to successfully escape from this system.
With so many points, I probably won’t be able to complete them even when I’m old and confined to a wheelchair. I don’t know when I’ll die in the middle of the journey, and then I’ll have nowhere to cry.
Other people's daughter is lucky enough to be a messenger of hell, but she can only be bullied in the copy like the white-clothed female ghost girl and others.
For a moment, she felt so sorry for herself that tears came out.
She is so lonely and helpless, and she will become a wandering ghost after her death. It’s so sad to think about it.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The ringing of the cell phone brought Xia Yingnuan back to her senses. She wiped away her tears, looked at the phone number, and wanted to continue crying.
"Brother Liu." This stupid AC agent calls her all day long, and there's no telling when it will stop.
"Xiao Nuan, where are you?" Brother Liu spoke in a gentle and sarcastic tone.
Xia Yingnuan got goosebumps and twitched her lips as she said, "Brother Liu, what's wrong?"
Brother Liu said, "Someone is looking for you here. Why don't you come to the company?"
"Who's looking for me?" Xia Yingnuan was puzzled. People who were looking for her would usually call her directly and would not go to her company unless the person didn't have her number.
Thinking of this, her eyelashes trembled and she thought of a possibility, a copy.
Is it Cui Ming or Gao Qiang?
Especially Gao Qiang, she must not be caught by this grandson, otherwise no one would come to save her even if she screamed at the top of her lungs.
"It's a..." Brother Liu was about to say, but then paused for some reason. Xia Yingnuan guessed that someone on the other end had stopped her. Thinking of this, she stopped a car on the side of the road and said to Brother Liu on the other end of the phone, "I'm sorry, Brother Liu, I'm a little busy here. I'll call you back later." After that, she hung up the phone without waiting for a response.
After a while, Brother Liu called again, and she hung up directly. After calling several times, she put the number directly into her blacklist.
But after a while, another unfamiliar number called, so she hung up and turned off her phone.
Brother Liu over there was talking foul language, and Xia Yingnuan over here quickly ran away.
She knew that she could no longer go to the rented house, and that Gao Qiang and his men could find her at the hotel at any time based on her ID card. Finally, she thought of the Shan family she had just met.
After the car turned three corners, she leaned on the back of the chair and said, "Master, let's go back the same way."
"What's wrong with you, little girl? I drove so far." The driver was a little in a bad mood.
Xia Yingnuan said, "I'll pay the same as for the car fare."
The driver finally shut up and turned at the next intersection. If Xia Yingnuan hadn't been quick to grab the back of the chair, he would have been thrown out. "Master, your drifting is great!" he said with a thumbs up.
"That's right." The driver immediately became excited.
Ning Hanqi, who had not slept well for several nights because of Xia Yingnuan's strange behavior, was finally able to fall asleep peacefully holding the puppet doll. Xia Yingnuan spent most of the night gathering the soul power she had collected, and then sat quietly beside Ning Hanqi's bed.
A faint ball of light appeared in her hand. Taking into consideration that human souls are relatively fragile, and Ning Hanqi's soul is even weaker, eating too much at once would make him sick. So Xia Yingnuan carefully pulled out a "thread" from the ball of light, preparing to let Ning Hanqi's soul adapt to these powers little by little.
However, she never expected that as soon as she let one end of the "silk thread" touch Ning Hanqi, the power in her hand was instantly snatched away!
In the blink of an eye, the power that Xia Yingnuan had painstakingly gathered for many days disappeared right before her eyes.
Although it was only a moment, Xia Yingnuan seemed to feel Ning Hanqi's so-called "normal" state of soul. Her soul was like an unfathomable abyss, which swallowed up the power he had prepared for her in an instant.
But when she came to her senses and wanted to investigate, she found that everything had returned to "normal".
