When Tang Mianmian woke up, she found herself in a pure white space with nothing in it. Startled, she immediately shouted, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there? Where am I?"
At this moment, a voice came: "Hello, host, I am Passerby A System." "I don't care what kind of system you are, put me back right now." "Host, you can't go back. Do you remember what happened back then?"
Tang Mianmian then remembered that when she was waiting at the traffic light, she suddenly saw a child run out. Just then, a car rushed out from the side. Without thinking too much, she pushed the child out and was hit and thrown into the air.
Thinking of this, Tang Mianmian felt a little sad. Although she grew up in an orphanage, the orphanage director had always been very kind to her. She had finally graduated from university and was able to earn money to help the orphanage director, but then this happened. She wondered how sad the orphanage director would be if she knew. Tang Mianmian wanted to cry, but found that her soul form couldn't cry.
"Don't be sad, host. You still have me. Although I'm just a set of data, I can stay with you for a long time." After hearing the system's words, Tang Mianmian was still very sad, but she strangely felt comforted.
"Thank you for comforting me. I didn't even know what you did for a living," Tang Mianmian said to the system.
"Host, I am the Passerby System. Our mission is to let those innocent people who are implicated die peacefully in their old age. In some small worlds, innocent people who are implicated die with great resentment and are unwilling to be reincarnated, which affects the order of the underworld. Therefore, we need people like you, hosts, to replace them and let them die peacefully in their old age."
After listening, Tang Mianmian was silent for a moment. "System, do you have some misunderstanding about me? I'm just an ordinary person. What makes you think I can complete the mission? I'm afraid I won't live for more than three days before I come back. What will I do then?"
"Host, every host has a beginner period. It's okay if you don't complete the first task, there will be no reward."
Tang Mianmian realized the system had a previous host and quickly asked, "Where was your previous host?"
After a moment of silence, the system said, "Some people fall in love with people in the smaller worlds during missions and are no longer willing to continue doing missions. Others feel that life is too long and they can't bear this cycle of reincarnation, so they exile themselves. I hope that the host can persevere."
Tang Mianmian couldn't imagine what kind of love could make her give up her almost eternal life, nor could she imagine how someone could end their own life because they had lived too long. Tang Mianmian also sensed the system's loneliness and said to it, "System, I don't know how long I can go, but I will try my best to accompany you for a while longer."
The system paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "The host hopes that you will be my last host. Would you like to bind to the system now?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Mianmian immediately replied, "Yes, I accept the binding."
"Please open the panel now, host, to get more detailed information about your situation."
Upon hearing this, Tang Mianmian silently opened the panel:
Host: Tang Mianmian
Age: 25
Cheat codes: None
Skills: None
Points: 0
Remaining draw count: 1
Tang Mianmian looked at the numbers on the panel and paused for a moment. "System, come out here. Is it possible that I've never had a single person on the panel, from elementary school to university graduation?"
The system paused for a moment, then said, "Host, no."
Tang Mianmian felt hurt by the system, it was too damaging to her self-esteem. "System, tell me what level a skill needs to reach to be included in the system's database."
"Host, we divide each skill into high, medium and low level skills. Low level is the lowest and high level is the highest. In the host's world, a low level skill is considered to be mastered to the extreme."
Tang Mianmian remained silent. "System, please explain to me what the 'golden finger' and 'points' mean."
"Host, the 'golden finger' refers to the reward you draw before starting a mission. You only have one chance, and whatever you draw is what you get and cannot be changed. The points are the score given to you based on your performance after completing missions in the mission world. You can use the points to buy things in the system's shop."
Upon hearing that the system even had a shopping mall, Tang Mianmian quickly asked, "Then open the shopping mall and let me see it."
"Sorry, host, you cannot access the store because you do not have enough points yet. Would you like to draw a cheat code?"
Tang Mianmian got nervous as soon as she heard that. She had never won a prize in a lottery since she was a child. She wanted to wash her hands to change her luck, but she had no idea how. She gritted her teeth and went to "draw a prize".
"Please silently say 'beginning' and 'end'," the system said, and a turntable-like object appeared in front of it. There were many things inside, and Tang Mianmian even saw a mustard seed space, profound cultivation techniques, and rare and precious materials.
The spinning wheel was spinning too fast. Tang Mianmian silently said "end." The wheel stopped in front of her, and then a red envelope group appeared. Tang Mianmian didn't know what the red envelope group was for, but she could only hope that it would be useful.
"Does the host want to bind the cheat system? Once bound, it cannot be unbound and will always follow the host, even in the small world."
"Confirmed." Although it's a pity I didn't get a spot in the earlier section, the red envelope group is good too; it's fine as long as I have it.
"After binding the red envelope group, you can only see it when you enter the small world; this space cannot be opened."
Tang Mianmian understood; this cheat system could only be used in the small world. "Will the system follow me into the small world?"
"The system will enter the small world with the host. Once inside the small world, you can only sleep to prevent being discovered by the Heavenly Dao of the small world and being expelled."
"System, after entering the small world, should I seek revenge for the original owner, or what?"
"Host, we have no obligation to avenge them. The reward they paid is not enough for us to do anything else. We are just a random system, and all we need to do is live to die."
Tang Mianmian understood immediately: don't worry about anything, just live peacefully to your seventies or eighties. She knew the answer to this question: "System, when do we start the mission?"
"If the host is ready, we can begin now. Please confirm."
"Confirmed," Tang Mianmian said, and then everything went black before her eyes, and she felt nothing more.
When Tang Mianmian woke up, she found herself lying in bed asleep. She reached out and looked at her hands, and found that they were the hands of an infant, no more than a year old. It was nighttime, and there were people sleeping on both sides, probably the parents of this body. Tang Mianmian quickly closed her eyes and accepted the memories of her body.
The original owner's life appeared in her memory. The original owner was named Tang Baozhu. She was her parents' youngest daughter, so she was named Baozhu. She was pampered and spoiled from a young age. When she was nine years old, a severe drought occurred, and the whole village fled the famine. On the way, the village chief's granddaughter saved a person, but in the end, the whole village was implicated and killed.
Tang Baozhu never knew why she was so resentful until her death. Tang Baozhu didn't know why, but Tang Mianmian did. This was a world created by a novel. The female protagonist of the novel was the village chief's granddaughter. Of course, she saved the male protagonist. The villain was chasing the male protagonist, but he couldn't catch him, so he killed him to vent his anger.
