[Ding! Mysterious treasure chest opened! Congratulations! You have obtained ten acres of fertile land.]
[Ding! Excellent performance in this world competition, partial access to system space unlocked.]
[Ding! Your information feedback in this world has been verified. You have received a reward: a wisp of spiritual energy.]
[Ding! A promotion mission has been triggered in this world. Congratulations to Lin You for becoming a full-time employee. Your current position is Cannon Fodder Rescue System. Employee privileges are now unlocked. Please check them yourself.]
[Ding! 3586 energy conversion experience points gained in this world.]
As soon as he returned to the space, there was a series of dinging sounds, followed by a surge of experience points. Lin You instantly jumped to level 11, and he also underwent significant changes.
When she returned to the space last time, she was in a semi-transparent state, but now she has a physical form and looks no different from a normal person.
Moreover, not all of her cultivation was converted into experience points. Lin You could sense that she could still use spells, although she was only at the early stage of Qi Refining.
This is already quite good, after all, not every world has such high combat power as the cultivation world.
Lin You hadn't paid much attention to the bonus points before, nor had he deliberately tried to increase his faith or merit. As for luck, that was something that was extremely rare and hard to come by.
However, the bonus points for this world, if not for the doubled points from the cheat mission, would be higher than the points from a single mission.
Lin You rummaged through her savings account with satisfaction. Although she hadn't bought anything, having over two thousand points in savings made her feel much more at ease.
The benefits of becoming a full-time employee are obvious. The most basic one is that she got a raise, and when she does tasks in the future, she will get 20% more points than before.
Furthermore, it gives users the option to choose tasks, including their difficulty level and the general historical context.
Furthermore, the terms of her system are much more detailed. At first, Lin You wouldn't have paid attention to this, but now, upon closer inspection, there is still a lot of useful information in it.
For example, the Time and Space Administration may recruit employees in batches, but the positions are divided into many types, and her system forum is only open to the system position.
It's possible that she couldn't find anyone else, since among the five of them, she was the least capable.
If you want to know more, you have to upgrade and become more powerful to access deeper information.
Putting that matter aside for the time being, Lin You went to check the mailbox by the door. The reply had arrived, and the two of them, besides saying that they were doing well, still reminded her to study hard.
It's fortunate that there's a limit to the number of characters that can be sent, otherwise these two would probably be giving themselves more homework.
There is a cooldown period for sending emails, and this time is calculated during the period when Lin You is doing a task and cannot reply to emails temporarily.
This matter can't be rushed. She looked at the other reward, and sure enough, the ball of spiritual energy was just a ball of energy. After Lin You took it out, it dissipated in the space.
After waiting for a while, the space remained unchanged, and Lin You felt as if she had been fooled.
Well, let's just fool them. After all, the anomalies of the last world were obvious to anyone with eyes to see.
Then look at the extra patch of land in front of the small building. The soil is dark and slightly damp. Even though Lin You is not good at farming, she knows that this is a good piece of land.
After taking a few spirit fruits given to her by Ye Zhen, Lin You ate them with gusto, buried the pits in the soil, and even diligently watered them with a bottle of mineral water.
As for whether a seed can germinate in a space without wind, rain, or sun, that's up to fate.
The ground and the sky were both a vast expanse of white. Lin You hadn't been able to explore much before due to her poor mental state, and only now did she realize that there was a solid area about 80 meters square centered on her house, while the rest of the area exuded an illusory aura.
According to the information she unlocked, this nearly ten-acre area was unlocked after she completed her mission. The initial space of each system is a 50-meter by 50-meter square.
Lin You checked the space and learned a lot of information that she hadn't noticed before. She wrote down all the data before opening the updated task panel.
An additional difficulty level can be selected:
Beginner difficulty, 250 points;
Intermediate difficulty, 500 points;
Advanced difficulty, 750 points.
Based on the 20% salary increase, the mission in Shen Zechen's world was of beginner difficulty, while the cultivation world she just arrived in was of intermediate difficulty. As for Chu Nanfeng's mission, it was actually a matter that could be resolved with a few words, probably a beginner's trial.
There's also a historical context, and this classification is quite detailed, including modern, ancient, post-apocalyptic, cultivation, and so on.
Lin You discovered that the difficulty level could be chosen arbitrarily, but as for the historical setting, once you tried it the first time, you had to spend money to use it again.
50 points per time, yes, as it says above, and it's still the discounted price.
Even when she had 20,000 yuan in savings, she would still feel bad about wasting 50 yuan, let alone points.
However, to prevent the trial period from being cancelled for the next mission, Lin You still chose the modern world. After all, it was worth 50 points, and it would be a pity to waste it.
Before leaving, Lin You spent 50 points to buy a warehouse that had the same function as her backpack, allowing her to freeze time.
After all, she could never use up a whole backpack full of spirit stones, pills, and talismans, and she couldn't even eat all the spirit fruits.
After storing some of the supplies from his backpack in the warehouse and freeing up two empty slots for later use, Lin You pressed the mission button.
Hopefully, this time, she'll find a task partner who won't schedule her own classes.
Taoxi Town is a remote town nestled in a valley. Due to inconvenient transportation and a lack of educational resources, many families in the town have moved to the city.
After all, the area outside the mountains is a small fourth-tier city with affordable housing. If a family works hard for a year or two, they can save up for a down payment. It's definitely more promising than staying in the village.
There are only seven or eight households left in the town now, and they are all elderly people over fifty years old. Fortunately, the land here is fertile, nestled against the mountains and by the water, so they can still be self-sufficient.
Nowadays, wild things are valuable, and people come to buy mushrooms, wood ear fungus, hazelnuts, and chestnuts. Peddlers even thoughtfully bring some daily necessities to sell, so life in the town is quite comfortable.
This sparsely populated place suddenly became lively. A variety show crew took a liking to an old house at the foot of the mountain on the north side of the town, saying that they had already communicated with the owner of the house and wanted to film there.
The show is called "Tracing the Clues," which sounds like a mystery-solving variety show, but it actually investigates various paranormal events.
However, the director's filming method is subtle, and it uses the banner of breaking superstition, which has attracted a lot of viewers. Now that it has filmed its fourth episode, it can be considered one of the top variety shows at present.
But because the director likes to play these pranks, such as red liquid in the tap, eerie shadows in the mirror, and the sound of fingernails scratching the wall suddenly appearing in the middle of the night.
Then, the guests were terrified, turning pale, screaming, and shaking uncontrollably, before the staff revealed that it was all a prank.
Every city has its share of paranormal events, so he would find famous places, arrange the events according to the usual patterns in the legends, and add tense music in the later stages, which did create a great atmosphere.
But just like a haunted house, even if you know it's not real, you can't help but feel scared in the dark environment, which makes it difficult for the show to invite popular celebrities.
Of course, the director didn't dare to invite him either, since fans are fiercely protective of their idols these days, and he didn't want to be criticized and trend on social media.
The show's guests are mostly actors who aren't very popular but are definitely good-looking, and celebrities who are exquisitely beautiful. They become even more attractive after being scared.
Song Yu is a handsome, fair-skinned, and dashing actor, but he's not very popular and is considered an obscure 18th-tier actor.
The old house is a two-story building with blue bricks and green tiles. The courtyard is paved with thick bluestone slabs. I don't know if the owner hired people to clean and repair it regularly, but it doesn't look desolate.
The house occupies a large area and has many rooms. There are five guests this time, four men and one woman, and each person is assigned a room. Song Yu lives in the room furthest north.
Legend has it that this house was built more than a hundred years ago, during the feudal dynasty. The owner of the house was a very wealthy man, and his family of three, more than a dozen people, lived in the house.
Unexpectedly, after living there for less than a year, the family fortune was exhausted, the house fell apart, and even the rich man's concubine hanged herself in the house.
After the wealthy man moved out, the house remained unsold and vacant. Some greedy scoundrels sneaked in, but soon they scrambled out.
He said there were strange noises coming from the house, and he also saw the shadow of a woman.
But clearly, he was the only person in that house!
Later, some children from other families went there and developed high fevers that wouldn't go down. Others who passed by heard people singing, and so on.
The owner of the house was a photographer, so he posted this rumor online as a story, along with antique-style photos, which did attract a lot of attention.
Then some people questioned whether he was making things up, which happened to be seen by people from the same town. They had also heard these rumors, so they followed behind to discuss and testify, and his popularity grew.
Then, the production crew came, a bunch of people went to great lengths to come here, saying they wanted to explore the secrets of the old house.
In order to capture the guests' real reactions, a camera was installed in each room, leaving them alone, ostensibly to let them rest after their long journey.
Of course, the guests who came to film had all done their homework, so they had a general idea of what they would experience later.
How much of the panic and fear was genuine and how much was acted depended on the individual's courage.
Song Yu's participation in this kind of program is certainly not due to cowardice, and he doesn't believe there's anything unscientific in the world.
Summer days are long and dark. Around 7 p.m., it wasn't completely dark yet. Song Yu, who had just finished eating, was doing her skincare routine when she suddenly heard a strange singing voice.
It was a very old-fashioned tone, soft and gentle, as if it were ringing in your ear, like a lover's murmur.
Song Yu's pupils widened immediately. She looked around frantically and even lifted the blanket to see if anyone was underneath. If you looked closely, the hand that was lifting the blanket was trembling slightly.
His face showed fear, but he was relieved. The director had actually done something for him this time; finishing filming at this hour wouldn't interfere with his sleep later.
Moreover, the singing wasn't scary at all; it was actually quite pleasant to listen to. I just don't know how it happened to play right next to his ear.
Song Yu trembled as he searched several places and even tried to open the door, but it was locked from the inside. He knocked a few times but no one answered. He was so frightened that his eyes turned red.
After perfectly portraying his terrified state, Song Yu trembled as he hugged his blanket and huddled in a corner against the wall. Only then did he realize that his blanket was made of smooth and delicate silk.
It is not a modern mechanical imitation, but a genuine fabric woven from silkworms, embroidered with an exquisite pattern of butterflies among flowers.
Song Yu threw the quilt far away in an instant, feeling surprised and uncertain. Given the director's frugal and thrifty nature, would he really spend so much money on such a quilt?
The value of this quilt alone is probably half the budget for this shoot!
