032
"Why?"
It has been such a long time since she completed her mission in this world, and she is already an old lady in her eighties. Doesn’t she have the right to choose to go with her husband
"Mr. Koi, you may have forgotten the rules of the system."
"What rules?"
"The system stipulates that you have the right to choose to leave, but if your natural life span has not reached the upper limit, the system will reconstruct a virtual character through data to live in your place, so even if you leave now, you will not be able to hold a funeral with your husband."
"…" Then couldn't she commit suicide? She's already old.
"Mr. Jinli, I must remind you that from the moment you are reborn, your life is in the hands of the system. You do not have the right to control your own life and death before the system mission is completed. If you violate the rules, you should be aware of the serious consequences."
After hearing the system's warning, Li Xia came to his senses.
Although it is a pity that I cannot hold a funeral with Jiang Huan, as long as she is still alive, maybe I can meet Jiang Huan again in the next world.
It doesn't matter if she can't meet him. She and Jiang Huan have lived in this world for more than 50 years. It is already complete. Love is not everything in life. She should be more rational.
But she has lived enough in this world. After Jiang Huan is gone, let the character simulated by data spend her last days on her behalf.
Li Xia contacted her private lawyer and planned the distribution of her property after her death. She also drafted a will, hoping that her children would bury her next to Jiang Huan after she passed away.
After finishing the will with the lawyer, Li Xia took out a photo album from the drawer and slowly flipped through it, reviewing her life in this world as if playing a movie in her mind.
She turned to the end of the album, slowly closed it, and called out the System in her mind.
"Let's switch to the next world. I'll let virtual data live for me for the rest of my life in this world."
"Koi-san, have you really decided?"
"Yeah, I'm ready."
"OK."
Li Xia felt that her brain was blank. Her consciousness was clear, but there was nothing in front of her eyes.
Li Xia, who had traveled through several worlds, did not panic. She waited patiently. After an unknown amount of time, a noisy sound appeared in her ears.
First there was the sound of something falling to the ground and breaking, followed by a sound of hurried footsteps that gradually faded away, and then Li Xia heard someone shouting in the distance:
"Madam, Madam! Please come quickly. I just saw the young lady's eyelids move. Please come and have a look."
Then there was a flurry of footsteps and someone rushed over to her side. A pair of warm hands held her tightly, and then the woman called out in a sobbing voice, "Qiao'er, Qiao'er."
Li Xia heard the voice and wanted to open his eyes, but he felt a sharp pain in his head. He wanted to open his eyes but couldn't. He could only let the woman in front of him call him helplessly.
The woman who was holding her hand tightly heard the maid at home tell her that her daughter's eyelids moved. She ran over excitedly and called for a long time but there was no response. Her heart gradually grew cold and she said heartbrokenly: "Qiao'er, it's all my fault. I failed to protect you."
“If I had been able to stop your father from letting you marry that Young Master Liang, you would be standing beside me now, alive and well. How could you be lying here unconscious…” The woman kept muttering to herself as she cried and blamed herself.
Li Xia, who was unaware of the situation, had a bad feeling when listening to the noise outside. He was eager to understand his condition, but he could not open his eyes.
She had no choice but to call out the system.
"What the hell is going on now? Why can't I wake up?"
"Wait a minute, Koi-san. There seems to be a mistake when the system switches worlds. Now you are in an unknown space, and there is nothing I can do."
There was helplessness and anxiety in the system's voice, and Li Xia didn't even have the heart to complain after hearing that.
What a crappy system! It claims to be the most powerful black technology in the universe. So many bugs appeared when she was only completing tasks in three worlds. She really doubted whether she would live to see the day when the mission was completely completed and she could return to the real world.
"Don't be so discouraged, Koi-san. We can still guarantee your safety."
"… Stop talking nonsense and repair the system quickly, okay?"
Li Xia drove the system away in a bad tone, and then continued to feel everything around him with the darkness in front of his eyes.
The system did not give her the plot introduction of this world, so she has no idea about the situation in this world. But from the words of the middle-aged woman next to her, she learned that the person just now was the original owner's mother, and the reason why the mother cried was that the original owner was unconscious, and the reason for the coma was probably that the original owner married the wrong person and was not happy.
Based on the experience of previous worlds, none of the original owners lived a happy life, and Li Xia was no longer surprised by such plots.
She lay patiently on the bed, listening carefully to the sounds in the room and imagining the plot of this world in her mind.
The original owner's mother cried for a long time and finally let go of the original owner's hand. Then she touched the original owner's forehead with the back of her hand, tucked the quilt for her, and stood up and left.
But before she took two steps, a hurried footstep ran in and reported anxiously: "Madam, it's not good, the master, he, he..."
The middle-aged woman's face changed drastically when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Master?"
"The master went to Mr. Liu's house this morning to seek justice for the young lady, but he was not only kicked out, but also beaten. The master's health is not good on weekdays, how can he withstand this..."
Before he could finish his words, the footsteps hurried away.
Li Xia, who heard all this but couldn't wake up, was not only anxious but also very confused.
Previously, when the original owner's mother mentioned the name "Master Liang", Li Xia thought he had heard it wrong. Now, hearing the three words "Mr. Liu", Li Xia, who had watched many costume dramas, felt a little uneasy.
This system wouldn't be so unreliable that it would allow her to travel back to ancient times...
Although she has watched a lot of costume dramas and learned history, it is too scary to let a new-age internet-addicted girl like her live in ancient times.
Moreover, the real ancient times were not as beautiful as described in TV dramas and novels. For those rich and powerful people, killing someone was as easy as crushing an ant, and the legal system and security were no match for modern society.
Thinking of this, Li Xia suddenly felt a chill on his neck and quickly called out the system.
"What on earth is going on in this world? You can't just let me lie there like this forever."
"Mr. Koi, I have obtained the background introduction of this world. I will send it to you right away. Please pay attention to it."
"Wait, is this world set in ancient times?"
The system master, who noticed Li Xia's thoughts, immediately replied: "What is the ancient background? What are you talking about, Mr. Koi?"
"Don't worry, since the system task is to show off your wealth, then you will definitely be sent to a place where you can spend money. How could it be sent to ancient times?"
The system spoke earnestly, and Li Xia thought about it and realized that if he wanted to spend money to show off his wealth, there were no bank cards or checks in ancient times. Would he have to carry a box of silver with him? That would be too funny.
She replied: "Then wake me up quickly and pass the plot to me."
"Okay, Koi-san, please pay attention to receiving it."
As soon as the system master finished speaking, Li Xia felt that the dark eyes in front of her eyes gradually became brighter. Then she opened her eyes and found that she was lying on a reddish-brown carved bed, covered with a quilt that looked like it was made of hand-embroidery.
Li Xia seemed to be frightened and quickly got up from the bed. She looked at her clothes and then at the antique furnishings in the room, which were similar to those in the costume dramas she had seen. She quickly questioned the system.
But the system was obviously playing tricks: "Mr. Jinli, is this ancient in your eyes? I'm really sorry, the Show Wealth System is from the future time and space 10,000 years later. In our eyes, the difference between you and me is less than 1,000 years, and your technology is equally backward, so I thought you belonged to the same time and space."
"… "
"Mr. Koi, really, I thought that the period when you lived in caves and drilled wood to make fire was called ancient times."
"… That's called ape-man. Thank you to your whole family."
Li Xia clenched her hands, feeling angry and having no place to vent.
If the System stood in front of her at this moment, she would beat him up without hesitation.
"Mr. Koi, please listen to my explanation..."
"Get lost."
Originally, the Show-off Wealth System did not have the ancient world, but this time, when the Show-off Wealth System and the Flirting with Guys Next Door System were receiving data from the new world, a transmission error occurred, resulting in the swapping of the mission worlds of the two systems.
This is indeed the system's responsibility, but the background has been exchanged, and the world on the other side of the system has already started to work. It can't be saved now, so we can only make the best of it.
The system knew Li Xia's temper. He was afraid that after telling Li Xia, Li Xia would question the reliability of the show-off system and would be unwilling to carry out the task, so he chose to conceal the truth first and let Li Xia accept the plot first.
Once the plot is accepted by the host, the mission of this world will officially start and cannot be changed.
The system felt guilty, but he was not annoyed when he saw Li Xia's bad tone. Instead, he said in a gentle tone, "Then you digest the plot yourself. I will retreat first. Call me anytime if you need anything."
Li Xia, who was full of anger, took several deep breaths to ease his mood a little.
Although the system is a scam and unreliable, your life is your own and you still have to complete the mission to stay alive.
Although this is a completely unfamiliar world and is inferior to modern society in every aspect, it is better than modern society in one respect: money is more useful than in modern society.
But Li Xia lacks everything except money.
After figuring this out, Li Xia felt much better, but where was the money the system provided her to show off her wealth? There were no bank cards or checks in this world.
Just as this question emerged in Li Xia's mind, the system appeared attentively.
"Mr. Jinli, you don't have to worry about this. Although there are no bank cards in this world, there are silver bills. There is a 'Jude Bank' on Zhengwu Street. The Show Wealth System will provide you with unlimited funds through this bank."
“Are you sure there is no upper limit?”
In modern society, we can use black technology to manipulate bank cards so that money is continuously transferred into them, but how was it possible in ancient times
"Mr. Koi, there are some things that you cannot understand at the moment, nor can they be explained by the scientific logic of modern society, so don't worry about it, just complete the task well. This is a completely different world from the past, and I believe the experience it gives you will be completely different too. Come on!"
Li Xia agreed with what she heard. Just allowing people to be reborn and travel through time was beyond her comprehension. As for how the money came in a continuous stream, it was not even within her consideration.
As long as there was money to spend and her mission could be facilitated, that was enough.
After understanding the source of the funds, Li Xia just sat down to sort out the plot of this world and see what kind of experience the original owner of this ancient world had, when he heard noisy voices outside, followed by the sound of things being smashed.
Li Xia rushed over following the sound and saw a group of men waving sticks and smashing the water tanks and potted plants in the yard without mercy. Everywhere they passed was a mess. When the servants in the house wanted to stop them, these men would beat them.
A middle-aged woman wearing a red hairpin on her head saw that she couldn't stop him, so she knelt on the ground and began to beg the other party.
"Madam Qin, we can't afford such a great gift from you." The man who was leading the trouble said with a smile.
"Please wait a little longer, okay? My master is not feeling well these days and cannot see guests."
"Feeling unwell?" The man said, grabbing the woman by the collar and saying, "I think you don't want to pay and are hiding from us. I tell you, if you don't have the money to pay today, you'll have to pay with your life."
After throwing the woman aside, the man was about to rush into the hall. At this moment, a gray-haired man came out from the hall door, supported by a maid. The man's face was covered with bruises, as if he had just been beaten.
When the woman saw the man, she hurried over to support him, shouting, "Master, why did you come out?"
The man called Master looked at the group of people who came to make trouble. Just as he was about to speak, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
The troublemakers did not react to the situation, but laughed and said, "Oh, Master Qin, you are pretending to be serious, but it is only natural to pay back debts. Today you must hand over the eight hundred taels of silver you owe us, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
A small thug next to the man said, "I think the Qin family doesn't have anything valuable to offer except this house. I think we should use this house to pay off the debt."
"That makes sense. I think this house is pretty good. Let's do this! Get the Qin guy out."
The group of people who were causing trouble were about to take action, and at this moment a clear and pleasant female voice rang out.
"Wait a minute, who said we're not going to go up yet?"
