“Eh? I’m back here again.”
Lin Suisui looked at the starlight surrounding her.
There were many different colors, but most of them were white.
She had returned to her own spiritual sea.
Lin Suisui gently touched one of the little lights.
The small light happily rubbed against her.
The other lights were unwilling to fall behind and rushed over one after another.
Lin Suisui quickly realized she was surrounded.
The starlight covered her hair.
The little stars jumped around on top of her head.
Looking at the little lights bumping into each other, Lin Suisui blinked her round eyes.
Were they…
fighting because she touched one of them first?
Were they jealous?
She seemed to be able to feel the emotions of these little things.
“Slow down, slow down. I’ll touch every one of you. Don’t fight.”
The little child’s cheeks turned slightly red.
Under Heiyun’s careful care, her little hands had become a little plumper.
She touched this one and then that one, trying her best to calm the little lights that were competing for her attention.
The little stars finally became quiet and obediently surrounded the little child.
“Were you the ones who healed Daddy before?” Lin Suisui asked.
The biggest white star rushed in front of Lin Suisui.
It proudly flashed its light.
Little master, I was the one who did it!
Lin Suisui hugged it gratefully.
“Thank you!”
Hehe.
The white star happily circled around Lin Suisui.
The little cutie praised it!
“So… do the other colored lights also have healing abilities?”
Lin Suisui looked at the other colored stars.
“No. They are your other abilities.”
“Huh? Who are you? Why are you inside my spiritual sea?”
Lin Suisui looked at the blue light ball that suddenly appeared in front of her.
Data kept flashing on it, and a pair of round electronic eyes appeared on the light ball.
It looked a little cute and silly.
The blue light ball suddenly moved closer.
Lin Suisui reached out to touch it, but missed.
The light ball moved backward again.
“In your words, you can call me a system. You can also say that I am your cheat ability.”
A cold electronic voice that did not match its appearance sounded.
“A cheat? You came to help me, Tongtong?”
The blue light ball moved closer again.
This time it did not retreat.
Lin Suisui finally touched it.
The system’s electricity paused.
“My number is 0713.”
“Got it, Qiqi.”
Lin Suisui smiled sweetly.
0713: “……”
“Qiqi, why did you appear here?”
Lin Suisui asked.
0713 flashed.
“I was the one who brought you here. In your original world, you had already died. Before that happened, you made a deal with me.”
“Although I lost my memory, don’t try to fool me.”
The little child looked at it suspiciously.
Her eyes clearly said:
Don’t think you can lie just because I’m small.
0713 controlled the panel and displayed data.
A document appeared in front of Lin Suisui.
“This is the agreement you signed with me.”
Lin Suisui moved closer and read aloud.
“…I, Lin Suisui, voluntarily enter into a transaction with System 0713. After the transaction is completed, I am willing to follow 0713 to another place and complete the mission.”
After reading it, Lin Suisui had a question.
“Why is the content of my transaction blurred? As one of the parties involved, can’t I see it?”
This made it very hard not to suspect it was electronic fraud.
0713 explained:
“Normally, you would be able to see the transaction details. However, the price you paid at that time later became connected with the transaction content, causing you to be unable to view it.”
“The price?”
Lin Suisui thought carefully.
“Is it related to me coming to this world and losing my memories?”
0713 answered:
“Yes.”
“Then Qiqi, can you reveal just a little bit?”
The little child negotiated.
“Just a little, okay?”
Lin Suisui acted cute.
“Otherwise, how do I know whether what you’re saying is true?”
0713 fell silent.
Electric sounds crackled.
The little child pursed her lips and looked at it pitifully.
“It is related to someone.”
The blue light ball flew in front of Lin Suisui’s forehead.
“Close your eyes.”
Lin Suisui obediently closed her eyes.
A cool object touched her forehead.
Some images flashed through her mind.
“…Please, save him.”
A girl with a bloodied bite wound on her shoulder collapsed on the ground.
The girl was dying.
Lin Suisui could not see her face clearly.
“…You need to give up what you believe is the most precious thing to you, then come with me to complete the mission. After the mission is completed, you can retrieve that thing.”
“As long as you can save him, any price is acceptable.”
……
“Contract established.”
Lin Suisui opened her eyes.
One hand covered her chest.
There seemed to still be some emotions left there.
Worry.
Guilt.
Regret.
“However, I blurred some of your memories about the moment you signed the contract with me.”
0713 said.
“Now, do you believe me?”
“Is he still okay?”
Lin Suisui asked.
0713 answered:
“He is still alive.”
Then that was enough.
Lin Suisui looked at 0713.
“What do you need me to do?”
0713 opened the mission panel.
“Six hundred years ago, this world experienced an apocalypse. According to the normal timeline, after the apocalypse ended, this world should have entered a new era.”
“But an accident happened. The remnants left behind by the apocalypse were not completely eliminated.”
“The impurities?”
Lin Suisui asked.
“Yes.”
0713 continued:
“Those things are slowly devouring this world.”
“Lin Suisui, your mission is to save this world.”
Lin Suisui widened her eyes.
The little child looked unbelievable.
“Me?”
0713 nodded.
“You’re sure you want a little child who hasn’t even been hatched for half a month to save the world?”
0713’s mechanical eyes flashed.
“You are the person I found who matches this world the most. Your compatibility is 99.9%.”
“Okay…”
Lin Suisui had nothing to say.
“So you were the one who helped me awaken the healing faith power?”
0713 replied:
“No. I did not awaken your faith power. You created it yourself.”
“Your faith power is not ‘healing’.”
“It is ‘protection.’”
Lin Suisui asked:
“What is the difference between the two?”
0713 explained:
“Healing can only purify impurities.”
“But protection can also prevent physical damage.”
Lin Suisui understood.
So she was basically an all-purpose healer.
She still had one important question.
“Then Qiqi, what kind of cheat can you provide me?”
0713 displayed several lines of data.
“I can help you unlock more ‘protection abilities.’”
“Do you see those little lights of different colors?”
“Those are the protection abilities you have not unlocked yet.”
“Besides that, I can also help upgrade your protection abilities. The more people the host protects, the stronger the ability becomes.”
Two lines of data appeared in front of Lin Suisui.
“The blue line is your experience value. Every 100 experience points increases one level. Every 5 levels, you can draw a reward. Rewards can only be used in this world.”
“The red line is your health bar.”
“The blue line has already reached level 2. It came from eliminating impurities last time.”
“Remember, it is very important. You can have no experience points, but your health bar cannot reach zero.”
As if emphasizing the seriousness, the little light circle flew in front of Lin Suisui and kept flashing warning red lights.
Lin Suisui closed her eyes.
“I know, Qiqi. Stop flashing.”
She almost cried from the flashing.
0713 stopped.
“Faith power causes damage to the body. You cannot use it without limits.”
“When your health bar drops below 30%, you cannot use faith power anymore.”
“Lin Suisui, if your health bar reaches zero, you will truly die in this world.”
Lin Suisui nodded quickly.
“I’m not stupid. Of course I know life comes first.”
0713 replied:
“Good.”
“Alright. That is everything I needed to tell you.”
Lin Suisui rested her chin on her hands.
“I feel like it’s not actually a very powerful cheat…”
0713 replied emotionlessly:
“The system mainly exists to assist. In the end, everything still depends on the host.”
“Okay…”
The little child sighed and lay down on the ground, looking discouraged.
Seeing this, all the surrounding stars gathered around her.
“Xiao Bai, don’t bully Xiao Fen.”
The person who was depressed one second ago was now playing happily with the stars.
0713 looked deep into its data.
There was a file stored there.
Name: Lin Suisui
Age: 20
Identity: The 57th Mission User (the previous 56 all failed)
