"Also, even if I don't know these things, there are other people in the world who do, right?"
Lin Jicheng recalled a previous memory in his mind:
“That mysterious old man of a very high level… he must know many secrets of this world, including the Lin family… he has met one of my relatives!”
【Yes……】
The system readily and decisively acknowledged:
Ms. Lin Guanqi donated a great deal of money and supplies to China during the war, which explains why she could own such a large courtyard house in such a central location in the country, and why this mysterious old man truly knew about historical events...
"So when he saw me, it was as if he saw my senior..."
Lin Jicheng shook his head, deeply moved:
“We lived in different historical periods and had never met each other, nor did we even know that he and I were related by blood, but we made similar decisions.”
"Isn't this a kind of intricate connection between family members through blood? How interesting..."
Lin Jicheng leaned back on the sofa, gazing at the azure sky of Beijing, her thoughts drifting away—
For many years, Lin Jicheng had always thought that he was fighting alone and had no one to help him. Since his parents passed away unexpectedly, the relatives and friends around him were mainly his uncles, aunts and cousins. These people were already grateful if they didn't try to take a piece of his flesh, so how could they really care about him?
But now, at this point, Lin Jicheng finally understands completely that he has not always been alone in this world, but that there are people who have been silently standing behind him in various ways, providing him with support...
Even this system that I've become so accustomed to—
This system, born out of my love for you, and accompanied me almost around the clock, appeared when I was most desperate and participated in the most significant stage of my life's changes. How can it not be called my family?
This feeling is truly wonderful...
A warm current flowed through Lin Jicheng's heart, and her eyes also felt sore and swollen.
Yes, host... you and your family are actually very similar, and they all love you very much...
The system carefully considered its tone:
Actually, this is also the reason I was created...
The system observed Lin Jicheng's expression, and as if it had made up its mind, it said in one breath:
The Lin family has witnessed firsthand the immense influence that money can bring throughout their history.
Plunder, murder, colonization... malice is everywhere, inextricably linked to money, and seems impossible to eradicate!
[It was precisely because of this that, after inheriting the family's enormous wealth, Ms. Lin Shuijing suddenly conceived the idea of escaping this life and living in anonymity.]
Just then, she met Lin Shengyuan, a very capable man focused on scientific research, while abroad. After they established a relationship, Lin Shuijing thought that she could temporarily escape the covetousness and prying eyes that came with money by returning to Lin Shengyuan's hometown, a small city.
"So... based on this incident, the two of them jointly created the Godly Tycoon System..."
Lin Jicheng's thoughts seemed to drift back to Qingcheng twenty years ago, where his parents made a firm decision.
【Yes……】
The system continued to explain:
At first, Lin Shuijing and his wife believed that as long as they stayed away from money and found a small city where no one knew about the Lin family's background, they could stay away from crime. However, as time went on, Qingcheng's development did not meet their expectations...
"Actually, I don't think that simply physically staying away from centers of wealth can keep you away from evil."
Lin Jicheng sighed and shook his head:
“Even in Qingcheng, a place known for its simple and honest people, there are people with dark intentions like my uncle and aunt. No matter where you are or how wealthy you are, such situations are unavoidable!”
"In my opinion, it's better to face the crisis head-on than to run away from it!"
Lin Jicheng's eyes were filled with determination:
"No matter what environment you live in, the most important thing is not to escape evil, but to gradually cultivate and have the ability and courage to protect yourself in the face of evil!"
[Yes, host, I completely agree with your point of view!]
The system's voice carried a sense of relief:
Actually, that's the reason I was created!
[Now that you, host, have such thoughts, it means my mission is complete!]
Lin Jicheng's mind jolted, but the system continued with great enthusiasm:
[As you've progressed, the amount of money you've had access to has steadily increased. You've gone from simply spending money, to building a company and creating value, and then to using money to do good deeds and create positive meaning for the world. This completes a process from recognizing money, to using money, and finally to managing money, gradually helping you develop a healthy view of money.]
[In addition, the host has consistently demonstrated extraordinary courage and determination when faced with the evils brought about by money—]
The system's voice was so persuasive and encouraging that Lin Jicheng felt a little embarrassed by the praise:
"Sigh, talking about this... I didn't even realize I had done these things..."
Even if you, host, don't remember, this system remembers it all perfectly for you!
The system said smugly:
[Host, haven't you always handled Huang Tianci, Ming Huaiping, and even Zhou Xiaomo—people who seem to harbor malice because of money—very well?]
[In the future, the host will venture into a wider world and encounter more and more complex people, but I understand and am confident that the host will handle everything very well!]
"right!"
Lin Jicheng solemnly said:
"I also believe in myself and that I can accomplish all of this!"
The two, one a unified entity, gazed at each other across the void, both revealing knowing smiles...
"Speaking of which, the system..."
Lin Jicheng suddenly asked seriously:
"Although you have explained the reasons for your existence, I still feel there are many doubts about you!"
"And also, about my parents..."
Lin Jicheng's voice became somewhat low:
Why did they leave this world?
"Do you know some of the deeper reasons why they left? And, as a nearly omnipotent system, could you—for example, reverse time and bring the dead back to life?"
