Chapter 194 The Real and Fake Heiresses Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 6) Two Days...
The two-day college entrance examination passed peacefully under Lin You's vigilance.
Until the very last moment of the exam, watching Bai Tiantian and Bai Zhiyao hand in their papers and walk out of the exam room unharmed, Lin You was still somewhat in a daze.
It's like knowing you're about to face a thrilling battle, your side is fully prepared, well-equipped, and has a meticulous plan, but the other side overslept and forgot to come to fight, so they were ordered to surrender, winning without a fight.
After regaining her senses, Lin You hurriedly caught up with the two sisters. As for Song Wenjing, well, she was now certain that he was 99% sure he was really stupid!
Now that the college entrance exam is over, even if Song Wenjing does something else, it's still within Lin You's control, given his level of ability.
She's too lazy to deal with that idiot now; she's just eager to sign binding contracts with her mission targets!
At the same time, Bai's parents and Bai Yichen were also eager to recognize their relatives. They even took the lead over Lin You. After the last exam began, Bai's father directly told the other family the truth.
Bai Yichen presented DNA test evidence and the evidence he found showing the babies were switched at birth, and explained the truth behind the switch:
“I asked around among the nurses and doctors at the hospital back then and checked the medical records. The records at that time all had my father’s name on them, and the information wasn’t as rigorous as it is now. The reason the babies were switched at birth was probably because my father and Uncle Bai had the same name.”
For the past two days, Bai's father and father have been calling each other "Brother Bai" and "Brother Bai," without actually exchanging names. It was only when the topic came up that they realized they were both named Bai Guosheng.
In those days, giving children such names was extremely common. Names like Jianguo (建国, meaning "Building the Nation"), Jianjun (建军, meaning "Building the Army"), Guofu (国富, meaning "Prosperous Nation"), and Guoqiang (国强, meaning "Strong Nation") were even more common than names like Gou Dan (狗蛋, meaning "Dog Egg") and Er Zhu Zi (二柱子, meaning "Second Pillar"), which have been passed down for thousands of years.
Even if there were many people with the same name at the time, the coincidence that two wives of Bai Guosheng, both surnamed Bai, gave birth in the same hospital on the same day and at the same time, and both gave birth to daughters, was still a bit too bizarre.
The nurses in charge of the two mothers were not the same person, and the babies were sent to the wrong nurses by accident. No one would have thought that such a thing could happen unless someone deliberately reminded them.
Mr. Bai patted his honest and simple father on the shoulder and said with a sigh, "Brother, it's really amazing how fate has brought us together. But don't worry, I won't take our daughter back. From now on, both of them will be our daughters."
Bai's mother comforted the somewhat frightened Bai's mother, speaking softly: "Let's just consider it as recognizing a relative. Both daughters are mine, and they are also yours. The children are grown up now. In a few months, when they go to university, they will be adults. How much longer will they be able to stay at home? Both sides are the children's home."
Aside from initial shock and fear, after a period of friendly interaction, the adults got along very well, while Bai Yueyue felt her vision going black and black.
When he only had one older sister, he could go out and have fun while she was busy with her studies and living at school, skipping classes, getting into fights, playing games and bragging with his friends.
Although he'll inevitably get a beating when his older sister comes home for vacation, he'll get used to it after a while.
Now, not only does he have an older sister who's supposedly doing well academically, but he's also been given a sidekick who clearly has the same personality as his older sister, likes to watch him study and do practice tests, and calls himself his older brother!
Most importantly, this older brother not only looks serious, but he's also clearly someone who works out regularly. If he were to fight, he'd definitely be much stronger than his older sister.
Bai Yueyue slumped dejectedly onto the table, feeling increasingly that her future was shrouded in darkness, with no warmth to be seen.
"If you complete these practice tests and achieve an accuracy rate of over 80%, I'll have the game company create a custom artifact, equipment, and game skin that you'll personally name."
Bai Yichen's words instantly lit up Bai Yueyue's eyes, especially after Bai Yichen said that she could ask her sisters for help or look up the answers herself. She was even more radiant after that.
Seeing his happy expression, Bai Yichen added, "If you can get into the top class like your sister's in the entrance exam, I'll have the company create a unique personal role for you."
Bai Yueyue immediately felt that the future was bright and promising, and a wonderful life was right in front of him. He couldn't even imagine how glorious he would be in the game if he could achieve his goal!
Bai Yichen felt that bloodline was a very magical thing. Even though they didn't grow up together, the personality of the boy in front of him was actually very similar to Yao Yao's.
He had also heard Yao Yao complain that his blood-related sister bore a resemblance to him, and Bai Yichen was quite looking forward to seeing her.
[Ding, Hello Bai Tiantian, this is the Cannon Fodder Rescue System. I request to bind with you.]
[Ding, hello Bai Zhiyao, the task target. I am the Cannon Fodder Rescue System, requesting to bind with you.]
Lin You rarely sent two formal binding requests. After all, she had been hiding since this time travel and hadn't gotten to know the mission target yet, so it was better to go through the proper procedures.
To be honest, Lin You had never used this process in any other world except when she first met Chu Nanfeng and was mistaken for a female ghost. If it weren't for the template in the "Employee Handbook" of the main system, Lin You probably would have forgotten the lines.
As a result, she had barely sent out her application and hadn't even had a chance to greet the two people she was tasked with when Bai Yichen had already dragged them back to the hotel.
After all eight members of both families were seated, Bai Yichen briefly explained their identities and also conveyed the attitudes and decisions of both families.
"...That's how it happened. From now on, whether it's Yao Yao or Tian Tian, they are both children of our two families, and we will treat them equally."
"If you have any thoughts or questions, you can raise them. We respect your decision." Bai Yichen explained the matter clearly while showing the evidence to the two of them.
Lin You was speechless. The timing of this identity was too perfect. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Bai Yichen was an undercover agent she had arranged!
Bai Tiantian and Bai Zhiyao were both stunned. The real and fake heiresses whose children were switched, and the cannon fodder system that suddenly appeared—they weren't unfamiliar with online novels, so why did their lives suddenly feel so fantastical?!
The two exchanged a glance. The tacit understanding they had developed over three years of living together in the same dormitory made them both see a hint of something unusual in each other's eyes.
Bai Zhiyao leaned close to Bai Tiantian's ear and whispered, "System?"
Bai Tian nodded, chatted with both sets of parents for a while, and expressed his agreement with their decision before saying that he wanted to talk to Bai Zhiyao alone.
Bai Zhiyao nodded in agreement, "You guys go do what you need to do. Tiantian and I are old acquaintances, so we can discuss it together and see who will be the older sister and who will be the younger sister."
Others: ………
Well, it doesn't look like a fight is about to break out. The exams are over now, so let it be.
Lin You was quite sensible; she waited until everyone else had left and only the two sisters remained before revealing herself.
She was dressed in a black, ancient-style outfit, her hair neatly tied up, wearing deerskin boots, with a long sword hanging at her waist and daggers tucked into her boots, exuding the air of a heroic female knight-errant.
Having just accepted this somewhat fantastical world, the two were startled again when they saw Lin You dressed as a martial arts hero. So their system was also a martial arts-themed system?
Lin You didn't care much about her appearance. She hadn't shown herself since she transmigrated, and the outfit she was wearing was the one Mo Kaiyang had put together for her before. She hadn't had time to change it.
Lin You never hides anything from those on missions, so she directly recounted what had happened in the past few days, Song Wenjing's identity, and her speculations.
Bai Tiantian, who always gets perfect scores in reading comprehension and is always the best at highlighting key points, said: "So, according to you, whether it's a real heiress or a fake heiress, they're all cannon fodder?!"
Bai Zhiyao's thought process was a bit bizarre: "Since talismans really exist, can I, like in novels, pretend to be a rich heiress and livestream as a metaphysical expert for fun?"
Then, Bai Zhiyao was slapped on the head by Bai Tiantian, "Stop fooling around!"
After hitting her, Bai Zhiyao regretted it. The way Bai Zhiyao acted just now reminded her of her own naughty child, Bai Yueyue. She subconsciously reached out and slapped her before realizing what had happened.
Bai Zhiyao subconsciously shrank her neck. After learning Bai Tiantian's identity and seeing her serious expression, which was clearly a carbon copy of Bai Yichen, she instinctively cowered.
Bai Tiantian: "I'm sorry."
Bai Zhiyao: "I'm sorry."
After Bai Tiantian and Bai Zhiyao finished speaking in unison, they couldn't help but look at each other and then burst into laughter together.
"I shouldn't have hit you, but you looked just like that brat Yueyue, so it was just a conditioned reflex," Bai Tiantian explained somewhat awkwardly.
She always had the image of a cool and aloof academic star at school, but she couldn't help but hit Bai Yueyue whenever she tutored her at home.
Bai Zhiyao also explained somewhat awkwardly why she immediately backed down: "You just reminded me of when my older brother scolds me. Luckily, he doesn't usually hit me, but he usually punishes me by making me stand at attention, which is basically facing the wall to reflect on my mistakes."
The two looked at each other and seemed to have suddenly found a way to get along.
Bai Tiantian: Isn't this just having a little sister who's like a younger brother?
Bai Zhiyao: Isn't this just having an older sister who's like a brother?!
As for why Bai Zhiyao was more emotional, well, she was just marveling at the colorful life that was about to begin, and it was definitely not because she had more to give to her sister and it would be inconvenient to slack off.
Lin You was also happy to see the two interacting so amicably. Girls should be happy together, right? She thought the scenes in the drama where the two sisters fought over a man, became enemies, and framed each other were just Song Wenjing's despicable tactics.
Originally, Lin You thought she would need to show more sincerity before Bai Tiantian and Bai Zhiyao would agree to bind with her. Unexpectedly, Bai Tiantian only let Lin You demonstrate her mystical abilities and, after confirming that she was not performing magic, agreed to the binding request.
As for Bai Zhiyao, she immediately followed suit after seeing Bai Tiantian bind to her account, so Lin You didn't need to waste any words.
Seeing that Lin You still seemed a little confused, Bai Tiantian explained quite frankly, "In the face of absolute power, being pragmatic is the best approach."
Bai Zhiyao nodded in agreement: "That's right, we can't beat you anyway."
Lin You: ………
Although I'm not quite used to it yet, I'm actually pretty much a big shot already! I'm kind of happy!
[Ding! Task target has been bound. Please complete the task!]
[Ding! Special mission, competitive advancement. The player with the higher score and rewards in this world wins and is promoted to senior employee. The loser loses all their points and their inventory in the system shop is cleared.]
[Ding! Competitor's profession: Quick Transmigration Streamer.]
Lin You further confirmed her guess, but she still had to take the subsequent competition seriously, even though this opponent was not someone she could take seriously.
Song Wenjing, who had been mentally scorned by Lin You eight hundred times, also received a system notification. To him, this meant that his rival had finally transmigrated.
The same quest prompts as Lin You's, along with Lin You's class description.
[Ding! Special mission, competitive advancement...]
[Ding! Competitor Profession: Cannon Fodder Rescue System]
Upon seeing this message, Song Wenjing couldn't help but open a live stream to ask his sugar daddies. If he remembered correctly, the Cannon Fodder Rescue System should be the lowest level among all systems.
He also saw a wealthy investor joking that the "cannon fodder rescue system" was just a way to provide basic support for employees. There was no penalty for failure, and even if the mission was successful, it would only earn a hundred or two points. It was said that only employees with no skills would be assigned to the "cannon fodder rescue team."
Song Wenjing wasn't worried that he had misremembered, which is why he started the live stream to find someone. He just wanted the viewers in the live stream to know that he had been matched with a newbie this time, and that passing the level and advancing was a sure thing.
The comments in the live stream were indeed praising his good luck, while some said that the cannon fodder rescue system was trash. Song Wenjing even received a reward of twelve points because of this.
Amidst a barrage of praise, there would occasionally be one or two comments urging him to take his opponents seriously, reminding him that even a cannon fodder rescue system wouldn't be able to reach the arena without some difficult means.
But Song Wenjing looked at those familiar usernames, which were clearly from the same group of people who used to have fun, and simply ignored them.
These guys are fine as just watching the show, but they also keep mocking him and undermining him. They're clearly up to no good; their words might be a ploy to get themselves into trouble.
