"Or rather, do I not necessarily need to reduce his corruption level below 5%, as long as I keep it at a certain level?"
Because she found it too difficult to reduce Huo Yanqing's level of corruption; that guy's condition... was not quite right.
Lin Qixia was unsure of the other party's true feelings for her, but she could now vaguely discern that having her reduce Huo Yanqing's "darkening" level was essentially a paradox.
Each time the other party's "darkening value" increases, it is related to one's own behavior, and one cannot go against one's own will and always give in to him.
However, she also guessed that this was probably the system's purpose in binding her to him.
It's impossible for me to keep trying to reduce Huo Yanqing's "darkening" level under these circumstances forever.
The probability of completing this task was already very low. The system bound itself to Huo Yanqing, making them two villains, which only compounded their negative fate, leading to a tragic end.
It gave itself a task that was almost impossible to complete.
Perhaps the real purpose was not to make her accomplish it, but to make her a victim of the world's plot development.
Realizing this, Lin Qixia began racking her brains to find loopholes.
After she asked those two questions, the system remained silent for a long time before replying.
[Return to host, your health must be below 5%, otherwise the event of Huo Yanqing's massacre of the Great Yin Dynasty will definitely be triggered.]
"Okay." Lin Qixia got the answer and understood completely.
At the same time, we also gave up on finding a solution from it.
Even so, I won't foolishly waste my efforts only to find in despair that everything I've done has become a pawn in the plot.
She couldn't let that happen.
Since failing to achieve her goal would inevitably lead to the destruction of the Great Yin Dynasty, wouldn't leaving the Great Yin Dynasty or moving up to a position where Huo Yanqing couldn't interfere be a solution to prevent this from happening?
Anyway, a living person shouldn't be allowed to die from holding in their pee.
Lin Qixia made that decision. There was still a possibility of finding a roundabout way to resolve this issue.
So let's start now and begin implementing Plan B, which we devised earlier.
"Just wait, system."
She won't let it have its way.
Lin Qixia's thoughts stopped here, and she calmed down.
Then I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Lin Qixia slept comfortably for an hour, and when she woke up it was already afternoon.
She went out to continue helping the villagers manage their farmland, and appeared perfectly normal on the surface.
This day was as fulfilling as ever.
...
After several busy days, Lin Qixia had managed all the land belonging to several households in Xiahe Village using her methods.
The last remaining land belonged to the Lin family and, being closest to the mountains, was least affected by the drought.
However, it's become somewhat dry now.
That day, after moving the last batch of straw in the Lin family's field, Lin Qixia wiped the sweat from her forehead and clapped her hands: "That's about it."
"Yes, it's finally finished."
Lin Jiudong, who was forced to come to the fields to help, also sighed with a bitter face.
Her originally delicate and fair skin has become tanned in the past few days!
"Xia'er, the condition of our land... will this method really help?"
After all the bellflowers were covered with soil, He Zhilan and Lin Qixia stood at the edge of the field. He Zhilan looked at her family's field not far away and asked her a question.
Lin Qixia said, "Just wait patiently. In a few days, once the moisture is absorbed, the wheat will be in much better condition."
However, the drought situation has worsened in recent days than before.
The situation is even worsening, so time is very limited. Lin Qixia just wants to save their crops before that happens.
"I hope so," He Zhilan sighed with a worried look as she listened to Lin Qixia's words.
Hearing He Zhilan's words from nearby, Li Shufen and Zhang Dazhuang comforted her, saying, "What are you worried about, sister-in-law? Your second sister's method works very well!"
Lin Qixia had helped their family before, so this time it was the Lin family's turn to have problems.
Knowing that Lin Xiao, the eldest brother of the Lin family, was unable to work, the couple offered to help.
He Zhilan looked at them gratefully upon hearing this: "Thank you so much for trusting my second sister."
That's true, she should trust Xia'er's abilities.
Lin Jiudong, who was not far away, did not want to hear them praising Lin Qixia. Once they started praising her, it never stopped.
"Ugh, so tired~" She deliberately stretched exaggeratedly to interrupt them, and walked towards the edge of the field: "Let's go back for dinner, it's my brother cooking again today!"
She was already very hungry, so she started to look forward to it.
Behind them, He Zhilan also took the initiative to suggest to the Zhang couple, "Yes, come to my house for dinner today. Brother Xiao has specially cooked."
"That's great..." Zhang Dazhuang immediately looked expectant.
Li Shufen nudged him with her elbow, then turned to He Zhilan and said, "How could I possibly accept this?"
He Zhilan chuckled and took the other person's arm: "Don't be shy, it's almost dark, come back with us."
With that, they left.
Lin Qixia followed behind them, walking very slowly.
When I got to the country road, I met many other villagers who had just finished working in the fields and were coming back.
"Oh, the Xue family's, how's yours?" Li Shufen asked.
Liu Yinghong replied with a smile, "My land is in much better condition, thanks to the treatment method given by Lin."
"That's wonderful." He Zhilan was also happy for them.
Liu Yinghong apologized to her, feeling embarrassed, "My daughter offended Qi Xia earlier, please forgive her, sister-in-law."
He Zhilan twitched her lips upon hearing this. She wasn't Lin Qixia, so she couldn't speak up for her.
But the other party had already apologized, and she looked embarrassed.
Just then, Zhang Dazhuang suddenly exclaimed, "Hey! What's going on?"
He Zhilan and Li Shufen turned around because of his shout, and then called out in unison, "Lin girl!"
"What's wrong with her now?" Lin Jiudong, who was walking ahead, frowned and cursed as he heard the voice.
But when she turned around, her expression froze.
Lin Qixia was lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious.
He Zhilan was also stunned by this sudden situation.
Not only her, but the Zhang family couple and other villagers were also at a loss, not knowing what was wrong with Lin Qixia.
"Quickly help her up!" Lin Jiudong shouted, finally realizing what was happening.
He Zhilan also realized what was happening at the same time and was about to help when Li Pei's voice rang out from not far away, "Don't move her yet!"
"Young Master Li, what do you mean by this?" Lin Jiudong asked her.
Beside Li Pei, Gu Ciyu spoke up, "We just came from Qishan County next door. Many people died there due to famine, and an epidemic broke out as a result. She may have been infected."
Her words caused many people around her to change their expressions.
"Epidemic?"
"This...this is terrible!"
"Everyone, keep your distance and don't get infected."
