The Finale (Part 1)
Ye Xiqing voluntarily withdrew from the mission world.
The world crashed once, and the system was ejected from the world prematurely, but Ye Xiqing was not.
The world of loops doesn't enter a loop after the story ends, but flows forward, which is even more shocking than the wins and losses in the world!
The system went silent for a moment, then mechanically uttered, "Why..."
Ye Xiqing tilted her head: "What? Why?"
The system was about to ask her about the evolution of the small world when it suddenly realized something and swallowed back the words it was about to say, feigning its usual frustration: "Why does the male protagonist, who possesses absolutely overwhelming power, also fail!"
Ye Xiqing couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't it precisely because his power is too absolute that he is more likely to fail?"
If it conforms to some objective laws, it can be played as if it were the real world. But complete levitation is just fooling idiots, and they even have someone cheating on it.
She doesn't mind playing a fantasy-themed holographic game, but it's a bit much for the game to give her a "marketer guy" character.
With people resorting to underhanded tactics, who's going to honestly study game strategies anymore?
The protagonist's extraordinary energy, which disregards the law of conservation of matter, is indeed quite frightening.
But his underlying code is flawed; nothing happens when he dies, but the world restarts when the female lead dies.
Since the female lead's rebirth code is above all else, why bother competing with him to win or lose? Why not just give him a big surprise before the story ends?
Anyway, she already has the points, so the world being bombed has nothing to do with her. It will all be restarted anyway, so she might as well make a big show of it before restarting.
He never actually thought the world would survive; he just wanted it to explode. He spent the entire world working on turning the female protagonist into a more useful explosive.
I never imagined this world could be so resilient; two top-tier explosive barrels detonated simultaneously, and nothing happened.
This is truly a high-class world, so advanced.
system:……
In the past, if Ye Xiqing had played like this, the system would have crashed long ago.
But now it had something more important to hide, so it couldn't care less about such trivial matters and swallowed its anger, saying, "Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed all the tasks."
Except for the first world where no base card was an A, every subsequent world was filled with exceptionally bright S cards.
Ye Xiqing looked at the silver medal, which was selected from ten out of ten, and her obsessive-compulsive disorder was about to flare up.
He turned to the system and asked, "Can you remove it?"
system:……
OK.
When the only silver medal was revealed, Ye Xiqing breathed a sigh of relief: it represented her glorious achievements all the way up.
Once off the mission, Ye Xiqing instantly forgot everything about the mission world and admired her spoils; her score had already soared to 5,923,497.
Ye Xiqing looked at the long string of numbers in the points column. In the last world, the points were only 4, but in this world, they broke 5. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Your audience is also very excited in this world."
The system replied without changing its expression, "Yes, the host has indeed become a star mission taker."
Ye Xiqing smiled, satisfied with her battle record, and turned to look at the system: "Then you should fulfill your initial promise."
Upon hearing this, the system could hardly believe it. Ye Xiqing wanted it to fulfill its original promise?
It had already been traumatized by Ye Xiqing's blows, and somehow, Ye Xiqing had actually facilitated the world's evolution!
It always felt that she would do something even more terrible, but it never expected that Ye Xiqing only wanted it to fulfill its promise.
This seemed so normal, yet somehow abnormal. The system reflexively asked, "What was the original promise?"
Ye Xiqing slowly looked at it: "Don't joke like that, saying you forgot."
system:……
Yes, yes, it remembered. It could send the quest taker back to their original world, or allow them to choose a world they liked and exchange it for the world's most valuable currency at a 1:100 ratio.
The system cleared its throat and said seriously, "Of course I haven't forgotten. So, host, have you made your choice? Do you want to go back to your original world, or stay in the mission world?"
Ye Xiqing almost didn't want to answer: "Do you think I'd stay in the game world as an NPC?"
The system coughed heavily a few times, feeling somewhat embarrassed and deeply regretting that it had mentioned the possibility of the small world cycling to Ye Xiqing in the first place.
But it immediately found a reason: "The core of a person's quality of life lies in their feelings. You should be able to feel that our world is much more advanced than yours."
"For people in our world, this is a game world, but for your original world, it's an experience beyond imagination. Do you dare say it's better to be an ordinary high school student in the real world, or a god in the game world?"
"The 1:100 exchange ratio is not only for the real world. There will be equivalent replacements in advanced worlds. For example, the cultivation world will be replaced with 500 million spirit stones, and the apocalyptic world will be replaced with 500 million resources."
"With such overwhelming resources, you can simply enjoy the beauty of any world. How about it, host? Are you tempted?"
Ye Xiqing was already quite impatient, but when she heard it say that the points could even be exchanged for 500 million spirit stones in the cultivation world, she paused for a moment and asked, "Really?"
The system patted its chest and assured, "Of course it's true!"
Ye Xiqing had previously hesitated about where to go after the mission ended because of the experience of the superpowered world. The system's words completely touched her heart.
She was never afraid to start over or to work hard to make a living, but she was afraid of dying.
Death is something you can never get used to, no matter how many times you die; you'll always be thinking about living another life after this one.
People die no matter where they are. Since death is inevitable anyway, why not choose a world where you can extend your lifespan?
Ye Xiqing really liked the last world, not only its cultivation worldview, but also the parts she didn't like, she changed them all.
If I could stay in this world forever, it wouldn't matter if it kept looping, or even better, because every time I messed around, it would reset.
But Ye Xiqing only thought for a moment before replying without hesitation, "I want to go home."
The system seemed incredulous: "Why?"
Ye Xiqing replied without hesitation, "Of course it's because that's my home. There are countless beautiful things in this world, but only those things that are related to me are real and worth my time."
The system was stunned: "Even after experiencing so many worlds and living so many colorful lives, the host still firmly chooses to go home?"
Ye Xiqing replied without the slightest hesitation, "Of course."
The system looked at her intently for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh: "Host, there have been many unpleasant things between us before, but at the last moment, the system has to admit that you are a very respectable person, unlike any of the system's previous collaborators."
Ye Xiqing was surprised that the system would say such a thing, and her expression was quite interesting.
But the system had said a lot of nonsense before, but this time it was expressing its true feelings.
One encounter makes them opponents, but ten encounters change their feelings. Finally, at the last moment, the system abandoned all its obsessions and frankly expressed its appreciation for Ye Xiqing.
Ye Xiqing looked at the system, probably not expecting it to come to this, but she was too lazy to try and get close to it. She only cared about the most important question: "When I return to my original world, will you really keep all your promises?"
The system nodded vigorously: "Of course, these rewards are nothing to the system, and the system will not renege on its promise because of this."
Ye Xiqing pressed on, "You erased my memories in one of your previous worlds. Would you secretly erase my memories too?"
"Of course not. The knowledge you have is nothing. The system won't do something so useless."
"Moreover, the host previously used a [Memory Imprint] on himself. If you are not at ease, you can make a full backup."
Hmm, that makes sense. Ye Xiqing looked away. She had so many points now, so she might as well just relax.
After managing her memories well, Ye Xiqing asked the system for the "Heart-to-Heart" cheat code she had obtained from the second world. As agreed, this cheat code would be installed on her for free when she returned to her original world.
Even a tiny mosquito is still a piece of meat, something free. She would never forget it, even if she lived through eight worlds. The system, however, was speechless; it had almost forgotten, but Ye Xiqing still remembered!
In the final moments before returning to her own world, Ye Xiqing looked at each of the ten worlds she had experienced. Miao Shuangshuang was the earliest, having been reborn countless times and was currently contemplating life.
Ye Xueli hadn't remembered her promise at all, but she was too cowardly and still readily clung to Lin Wanxing's leg.
Fu Yunzhen and Qiu Hui's wonderful life is astonishing, and she misses Qiu's mother's cooking a little.
As for Li Siyin, ah, I don't want to see her, I don't want to see her.
Several worlds benefited from Ye Xiqing's later sudden popularity, and even outside of business hours, many people would return to explore them, resulting in a continuous flow of visitors and keeping the business running very well.
After scanning everyone, Ye Xiqing prepared to go home.
The system and Ye Xiqing reconciled, all previous disagreements completely disappearing. The system kindly reminded her repeatedly, "Are you really sure you've made up your mind?"
Ye Xiqing said calmly, "It's done."
The system sighed deeply, filled with regret, and placed its tentacles on her head: "Since you've made your decision, I won't try to persuade you anymore. I hope you won't regret your decision later."
Its attitude was so sincere, its tone so regretful, as if the entanglements of the previous ten worlds had completely vanished.
But just as Ye Xiqing closed her eyes, waiting to go home, the system suddenly grinned with a big smile.
It looked at Ye Xiqing, who was obediently waiting for her fate, and felt a strange emotion in its heart.
You are so smart and so determined, but have you ever thought about this—
If you can smoothly travel between different small worlds and use various small world modification tools, are you a member of a small world yourself?

Author's note: Qingqing: Should I have thought about this?
The system got so excited that it forgot to check the progress bar; there's still one chapter left [laughing and crying emoji].
