Chapter 3 The Terrible System



"What reward? Will I be able to return to the modern world after completing the ultimate mission?" Yu Zhizhi asked expectantly.

"No, no, no!" Little Winter Melon shook his head.

Yu Zhizhi pouted in disappointment and replied without hesitation, "I refuse this task."

“Refusal is invalid!” Little Winter Melon said firmly.

Yu Zhizhi looked helpless.

Little Winter Melon continued, "Let me tell you about the mission first! The system will announce the locations for setting up a stall from time to time. As for what to sell, the host is free to choose."

Yu Zhizhi frowned and asked in confusion, "What if the location the system gives for setting up a stall is not suitable? For example, in a sparsely populated place or deep in the mountains and forests."

Little Winter Melon smiled and explained, "Don't worry, the system won't be that abnormal."

"In addition, the system will give a score based on the completion of the task, the difficulty level, and other factors. Below 60 points is Level 1, 60 to 70 points is Level 2, 70 to 80 points is Level 3, 80 to 90 points is Level 4, and 90 to 100 points is Level 5."

"Level 5 is the highest level. The higher the level of your score, the rarer the reward!"

At this moment, only the last question attracted Yu Zhizhi's attention: "What is the reward for level five?"

Little Winter Melon replied with a grin, "You've seen Doraemon, right?"

Yu Zhizhi's eyes lit up instantly. "Could it be the Anywhere Door?"

"The host guessed right. Our Anywhere Door is quite interesting. It may not take you to the place you want to go according to your will, but it will always take you to a place you have never been before, and you can stay there for up to a day each time."

Funny my ass!

What are the chances of being able to go wherever you want to go based on your own will?

20%.

Yu Zhizhi thought for a moment, "I am willing to accept this task."

Although refusing would have been pointless, this time she accepted the task from the bottom of her heart.

After all, if she's lucky, she can use the Anywhere Door to return to the modern world, see her family and friends, even if she can only stay for a short day.

Yu Zhizhi's thoughts raced, and her mind grew increasingly chaotic. But regardless, she was determined to complete the mission well and try to obtain the Anywhere Door.

Even if there's only a 20% chance, she'd still want to try.

"What kind of system is this? Is it a food, medicine, music composition, modification, wealth, or a lazy bum system?"

It seems she wasn't paying attention in class!

Little Winter Melon was a little speechless, but still patiently repeated: "The system will only randomly assign stall locations each time. As for what to sell, the host can do as he pleases, and the system will not interfere!"

After listening, Yu Zhizhi was completely confused. "Then tell me, has the system provided me with any recipes, sheet music, storybooks, or a complete guide to making cosmetics?"

"No!" Little Winter Melon answered crisply and decisively.

Yu Zhizhi asked with a disappointed look, "Then can I exchange it with silver coins?"

"You're penniless right now!" it warned.

Yu Zhizhi immediately retorted: "Just because it doesn't exist now doesn't mean it won't exist in the future!"

Little Winter Melon bluntly retorted, "Even if you have money in the future, you won't have these to exchange!"

Yu Zhizhi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

My God! How unlucky she is.

If you give her nothing and let her do whatever she wants, wouldn't her chances of getting level 5 be even lower?

This system is so outdated!

“Host, I can hear your thoughts.”

Yu Zhizhi, unable to bear it any longer, roared angrily, "So what if I say you're low!"

Little Winter Melon was clearly surprised by her volatile temper and immediately became timid.

Why was I chosen?

This was the question that Yu Zhizhi was most curious about. Did she possess some unique charm or talent that made the system choose her from among thousands of people?

"The reason the system chose you as the host is because you have worked in many different professions in modern times and have mastered many skills."

Hearing such praise, Yu Zhizhi felt a sweet warmth in her heart. It turned out she really did have some extraordinary qualities!

However, what Xiao Donggua said next made Yu Zhizhi's heart instantly turn cold.

"However, you've changed jobs too frequently, resulting in a mediocre grasp of each skill. These skills would be far from sufficient in modern times, but they would be more than enough in ancient times. Our system needs to find people like you, who are moderately capable but not the best, not the worst, to test."

Are you polite?

It turns out the system was just using her as a guinea pig.

No wonder the system didn't provide any detailed instructions, and even the so-called highest reward—the Anywhere Door—seemed so weak.

It's estimated that this system is still in the testing phase, and many functions are not yet complete!

Terrible system!

Upon hearing her true feelings again, Xiao Donggua completely cowered and dared not utter a single word, afraid of saying the wrong thing and angering this old lady again.

"Rotten melon, when are you going to start issuing missions?" Yu Zhizhi asked, frowning.

"Host, my name is Little Winter Melon~"

Yu Zhizhi said matter-of-factly, "Aren't you just working for this lousy system? Then you're just as lousy as it!"

Little Winter Melon was both amused and exasperated, unsure how to refute the argument, and could only sigh helplessly.

"Host, once you return to your biological parents' home and settle your personal matters, the system will issue you a mission."

This time, Yu Zhizhi answered very readily: "Okay!"

Fortunately, this broken system has some conscience, giving her enough time to adapt to this dynasty.

Following the address Yun Yuqing gave her, Yu Zhizhi wandered through streets and alleys. Along the way, she stopped and started, looking around curiously at everything around her.

After about half an hour, she finally arrived at the gate of the Yun residence.

Yunfu is located in Haixi District, one of the four major districts of Beijing.

The capital city is divided into four major regions: East Coast, South Coast, West Coast, and North Coast; each region has its own unique features and characteristics.

Haidong District was a gathering place for powerful and wealthy families. It contained not only the imperial palace and the residences of various princes, but also the residences of high-ranking court officials and imperial merchants.

These factors have made Haidong District the focus of attention, and people have dubbed it a wealthy area.

Yu Zhizhi stood at the entrance of the Yun Mansion, looking at this mansion that was several times smaller than the Prime Minister's Mansion. She resolutely walked to the door and gently knocked on the slightly old wooden door.

"They're here!"

With a deep, aged response, an elderly gatekeeper slowly opened the gate.

His cloudy eyes scanned the unfamiliar woman before him, who had red lips, white teeth, and skin as smooth as jade, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"You are the true eldest daughter of our Yun family, aren't you?"

An hour ago, he received an urgent letter from the master, which informed him of the farcical incident involving the real and fake young ladies.
