Chapter 1 First Encounter with the System



Yunqi willingly sacrificed herself to protect her brother, the emperor, and could be considered to have died a worthy death. She just hadn't expected that after death, her soul would leave her body and float above the main hall, watching her brilliant brother weeping over her still-warm corpse. Yunqi felt a sense of relief, realizing that life had long been meaningless… Poor brother, he would live in regret for a long time to come… But what did it matter to her? She was already dead.

"Ding, a suitable soul entity detected. Binding in progress..."

Yunqi felt a pulling sensation, and her soul entered an unknown space. The surroundings were empty, and the distance was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see clearly. Yunqi looked at herself; she was wearing a white robe, her body as long as before she died, her hair reaching her waist, and she could feel her feet again.

Yunqi's information was displayed in the air:

Number: 5217

Name: Yunqi

Gender: Female (variable)

Skill: Basic Medicine

Overall performance rating before death: 61 (qualified)

After reading it, Yunqi recalled the previous sound and shouted into the air, "5217?"

"Hello, host. I am your cannon fodder system 5217. This is the system space." As if aware of Yun Qi's confusion, a small orb of light, calling itself the system, explained, "I am already bound to you. Next, we will travel to countless small worlds to fulfill the wishes of cannon fodder and obtain soul energy. In this way, the host can achieve immortality..."

"I don't want to live forever."

There are people who don't want immortality?! What are we going to do about that?...

"...Host, do you know that the world you originally lived in was just a fictional world?" The little ball of light swayed in the air and flew to Yun Qi's side. "And you were just cannon fodder in it."

"Me? Cannon fodder?"

"Yes, host, you'll understand after you finish reading this book."

A book floated to Yun Qi's side. She quickly skimmed through it, then suddenly laughed. So she was just cannon fodder, paving the way for her brother's grand cause, only to die in the end...

Yunqi looked at the speed of light: "What is your purpose in telling me all this?"

"Host, although it is just a fictional world, it is a world of its own and will slowly evolve to develop independent life consciousness. After they die and realize that they are just cannon fodder in this world, their accumulated resentment has affected the stability of the small world. Therefore, we must fulfill their wishes to quell their anger and maintain the stability of the small world."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"...Negative host attitude detected. Deploying to the world! Executing immediately..."

Yunqi felt her soul being pulled into a body, and then a flood of memories that didn't belong to her rushed into her mind. Yunqi endured the pain and read through the memories, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since this is your first mission, this beginner's mission is relatively simple. 5217 will also provide some assistance. If you need help, you can call upon me in your mind. Your mission is to fulfill the original owner Anqi's wish. If you fail the mission, you will be annihilated, your soul scattered." After saying this, the system thought for a moment and decided to persuade the host again, "Host, wouldn't it be better to have a chance to see the world? Why die when you can live? If you complete the mission, you will also receive corresponding rewards. Aren't you curious about what the rewards are?"

Whether it was the system's earnest "persuasion" that worked, or the original owner Anqi's fate that was too tragic, Yunqi decided to focus on completing the mission. "Don't worry, now that I'm here, I'll do the mission properly."

Yunqi felt very uncomfortable in her body. She took her pulse and found that she was very weak. She touched her forehead and found that she had a fever. Yunqi got up, drank some water, and then lay back down on the bed to rest.

Feeling much better after a good night's sleep, Yunqi began to process the original owner's memories and slowly adapt to her surroundings. For Yunqi, an "ancient person," everything here was new, but fortunately, with the original owner Anqi's memories, adapting wasn't difficult.

Thinking of the original owner of the body, An Qi, Yun Qi couldn't help but sigh. What a wonderful girl she was, it's a pity that fate didn't treat her kindly...

This is a modern world. In 2058 AD, humanity has entered the information age. Human development is accelerating, and ordinary labor is being replaced by machines, leaving a large workforce idle. Country Z, in collaboration with other countries, has developed a holographic online game called "Second World," encouraging people to experience different worlds within the game. Anqi was initially drawn to "Second World" by its promotional posters and resolutely entered the game. The beautiful woman in the posters, dressed in ancient attire, her robes flowing, holds a staff and chants, a gentle smile playing on her lips, her eyes resolute and beautiful! Thus, Anqi resolutely joined "Second World."

Anqi is 21 years old and a junior in college in S City. Anqi is an introverted and sensitive girl. Her parents divorced and remarried shortly after her birth, and neither wanted her, leaving her to be raised by her grandmother in the countryside. As a child, she didn't understand anything, longing for both her father and mother's love, but her parents never visited her. She tried to be close to her grandmother, but her grandmother was also indifferent, only providing food and clothing, and forbidding her from being spoiled or crying, until her grandmother passed away when she was seven. Having no one to care for her, her parents took her in, taking turns living with her in their respective homes. Why "temporarily"? Because her parents remarried and had their own children, making Anqi the most awkward person in the family. Both families rejected Anqi, no matter how hard she tried, how well she did on exams, or how much housework she did, it was all in vain. Her parents' other children would still secretly bully her. She tried to tell her parents, but they didn't believe their son (daughter) would bully her and warned her not to slander her younger siblings. The little girl was suppressed in this environment for too long, becoming insecure and sensitive, only able to hide under the covers and cry secretly.

So, the young girl consciously started saving money. After being admitted to S University with excellent grades at the age of 18, she resolutely moved out and rented a studio apartment near the university to facilitate part-time work and studying. In the three years since leaving that oppressive home, Anqi has gradually become more cheerful. However, her personality has already taken shape, and she can no longer integrate into that lively group, so Anqi has never had many friends.
