In a deserted cabin, a body lies on a bed, while a small ball emitting white light floats beside it, circling around the body.
This is the system that is helping Ye Qingyun transform her body. It is waiting for Ye Qingyun to awaken, but her body remains unresponsive.
What's going on?
The system was adjusting various data points with some confusion when an anomaly report was heard:
[Body transfer in progress... Malfunction occurred, body transfer failed, requesting backup!]
The body swap failed? Doesn't failure mean death?
The system was shocked and quickly reported to the main system. Within the permissions granted by the main system, it saw Ye Qingyun's soul.
Ye Qingyun's soul was not nearby; it drifted in another direction.
There is another force vying with it for Ye Qingyun's soul!
How can this be!
The system rushed to that location and mobilized all available resources in an attempt to retrieve Ye Qingyun's soul.
But it couldn't beat them!
The system accelerated to its maximum speed, and after a frantic rush, we finally arrived at our destination.
It was a small house in a remote town. The system rushed inside, took a closer look, and was immediately terrified.
Ye Qingyun's body, which should have been reduced to ashes, was lying perfectly fine on the bed.
And the soul of Ye Qingyun that it sensed was also nearby.
But how could that be? It witnessed Ye Qingyun's body being destroyed, leaving not a trace. Who then restored her body?
The system anxiously circled around a few times before noticing a small doll made of black light spots next to it. It was so inconspicuous that it had been overlooked before.
The system immediately retorted angrily, "You're the one who lured him here and created this body?"
The little child looked in the direction of the system: "What's it to you?"
"How is this none of my business!" The system was furious, on the verge of exploding. "You're harming him, do you even know that! There's no such thing as resurrection in this world. You're forcing him to come back to life in his original body, which violates the basic rules! Even if Ye Qingyun is resurrected, he'll be targeted by the world's consciousness because he violated the rules of this world!"
The little boy said, "He won't be targeted."
System: "You know nothing! You—"
The little child said, "I am the consciousness of the world."
"You..." The system was about to curse again, but then it froze, "...?"
There are many things they cannot do because it would violate the rules of the world.
But now the world consciousness is actively violating the rules...?
"What else do you want? If not, get out. Don't bother me while I'm doing my important work," the World Consciousness said impatiently.
The system dared not utter a sound; it huddled up and watched from the sidelines.
The world consciousness chanted incantations, and Ye Qingyun's body, which had previously been without breath, gradually began to breathe faintly.
This is a manifestation of the gradual merging of body and soul.
The fusion of body and soul cannot be completed immediately, but requires a period of time, ranging from a few days to several months.
Taking advantage of this free time, the system probed the world's consciousness: "You don't mind him? Don't you mind that he's cannon fodder and has tainted your pure protagonist?"
World Consciousness: "Are you sick? Do you have a problem with your taste? How can you dislike him?"
system:"……"
This world is so crude!
"The body you prepared for him is hideous. Don't you have any taste?" the world consciousness continued to complain. "I want to resurrect him in his original body. Do you have a problem with that?"
System: "...What opinions can I possibly have?"
The system and consciousness silently watched as Ye Qingyun's soul and body gradually merged. Suddenly, the system heard the world consciousness say a sentence.
"Ye Qingyun is dead... Gu Chenyuan will destroy the world."
If the world is destroyed, then there will be no world consciousness. The world consciousness does not want to die, and it does not dislike Ye Qingyun; in fact, it likes him quite a bit. That's why it took action to restore Ye Qingyun's body, hoping that he and Gu Chenyuan could be reunited soon and that there would be no more melodramatic misunderstandings.
The system had nothing to say. It opened its examination function, wanting to check Ye Qingyun's physical health and whether her soul was complete.
This inspection uncovered a major problem.
It's possible that the struggle between him and the world's consciousness had caused some disorder in Ye Qingyun's soul. This disorder was mainly manifested in his brain.
Following this trend, when Ye Qingyun is resurrected, she will be unable to remember anything from before for quite some time.
However, given Ye Qingyun's brain's self-repairing ability, this amnesia period will definitely not exceed six months, after which she will be able to recall all her memories.
This is a minor problem, it shouldn't cause any serious issues, right?
————
Ye Qingyun opened her eyes.
The room in front of me was completely unfamiliar, with no sense of familiarity whatsoever.
What happened? He remembered that he was hit by a car and thrown into the air while trying to save a child. He should have been beyond saving, so how is he still alive?
Could it be... time travel?
Ye Qingyun jumped up quickly, ignoring the dizziness in her head, and ran to a mirror.
Thankfully, his face was still his own, unchanged, and he was still using his own body instead of becoming some unknown cannon fodder.
Ye Qingyun recalled a novel he had read before, in which there was a cannon fodder character with the same name as him. Fortunately, he did not follow the trend and transmigrate into that cannon fodder character, otherwise he would not know what to do.
Ye Qingyun was somewhat bewildered by this sudden time travel. But he quickly rallied and began to organize his belongings.
Soon, Ye Qingyun finished taking inventory of the supplies in the room.
There was practically nothing of value in the entire house, except for a few everyday items and a few coins.
This is all his property.
Ye Qingyun's stomach rumbled at just the right moment.
This isn't right! In novels, transmigrators usually become the white moonlight of important figures, or even directly become important figures themselves, enjoying a life of luxury. How come he's going to starve to death in his room on his very first day here?
Forget it, if I really dressed him up as some big shot's white moonlight, he'd be afraid he'd mess up the performance and give himself away. It's better to just stay ordinary.
Ye Qingyun wiped her face, perked up, took the only coins she had, and went out.
First, you need to fill your stomach before you can think of ways to make some money.
Ye Qingyun was actually very nervous, especially after he went outside and discovered that the technology here was more than a dozen centuries ahead of Earth.
Ye Qingyun strolled through the streets with a seemingly confident and composed expression. She found a small stall that she could afford, ordered some food, and listened intently to the conversations of the people around her.
Not far from him, several men were chatting while eating snacks with their drinks.
"Life is so different now compared to before! Hey, I don't have to pay 80% of taxes anymore, I feel like I'm suddenly rich!"
"Luckily, that one suddenly appeared, and the entire royal family is dead!"
"But I have to say, that person was really ruthless, taking out all the members of the royal family and all the officials who had supported the royal family...tsk tsk tsk, I heard that blood flowed like a river."
"Isn't it great? Do you pity them?"
"I didn't say that! I meant... is there something wrong with that person's mental state?"
"This... sigh," the man's voice trailed off, and Ye Qingyun had to listen carefully to hear what he was saying, "I heard that his lover was snatched away by the royal family, and when he found her... sigh, she was dead, and had been thoroughly abused, so he..."
The content of this conversation was quite poignant. Although Ye Qingyun had no idea who the "that person" they were talking about was, she still felt a tightness in her chest as she listened.
Even if you kill all your enemies, what good is it? A lover who has died cannot come back to life. In that person's heart, the pain will not lessen in the slightest.
Ye Qingyun sighed, finished the last bite of noodles, and went to pay the owner.
The owner was a plump woman who cheerfully said to Ye Qingyun, "If you sit here, the crowds coming to see you will fill my stall. I'll give you a free meal, young man. Come again next time!"
Ye Qingyun was unexpectedly able to save some money, and she did not refuse this kindness. After taking back the money, she asked the boss where she could quickly earn a small amount of money.
The boss pondered for a moment and replied, "You seem to be lucky. Why don't you try participating in the top-level intelligence quiz?"
This quiz show is a recent phenomenon. It arose because people inadvertently discovered that their new emperor seemed particularly interested in all sorts of scientific research books, often staring blankly at certain titles. This sparked a wave of learning across the entire galaxy, leading to the emergence of various quiz shows.
"This top-level intelligence quiz is extremely difficult. It's said that the questions are selected from several books that the new emperor highly values, and no one has ever been able to answer ten questions correctly in a row! However, if you guess three questions correctly, you can win a small sum of money. Why don't you give it a try?" the shopkeeper said.
Ye Qingyun was shocked.
What a nation that loves learning and scientific research!
He likes it so much!
Ye Qingyun was someone who loved immersing herself in various research projects, and hearing about the simple and honest folk customs made her so happy she almost fainted.
Although he certainly knew nothing about this world, that didn't stop Ye Qingyun from excitedly wanting to play a game right away.
Ye Qingyun found the nearest quiz shop and requested to participate in the top-level intelligence quiz.
The rules are simple: pay one dollar before you start the game, and if you guess three questions correctly, you'll win two dollars. The more questions you guess correctly, the more money you'll win.
"Good luck," the betting shop owner said with a smile.
"Thank you, I will try my best," Ye Qingyun said, picking up the prediction board.
The board will randomly display questions, and each question has a ten-second time limit. With the boss watching over you, there is no way to cheat.
Ye Qingyun was fully prepared to randomly choose an answer and be eliminated on the first question. However, when he first saw the question, he subconsciously chose the answer that looked most appealing without thinking.
Joyful celebratory sounds rang out, congratulating Ye Qingyun on choosing the correct answer.
The shop owner raised an eyebrow, unconcerned.
It's perfectly normal to get a few questions right if you're lucky; there's no need to be alarmed. After the first three questions, the true/false questions will become multiple choice questions, and after the first five, the multiple choice questions will become multiple selection questions, increasing in difficulty. This is why no one ever passes the first ten questions.
Even the best of luck has its limits.
Before the thought had even settled, the shop owner heard the celebratory voice from the answer board: "Congratulations on successfully answering the first ten questions! Your prize money is 888,888 yuan. Please check your account!"
