The family happily finished their meal, washed up, and then each went to their own room to rest.
Lin Shiyao sat at the foot of the bed, suddenly feeling that something was off. She vaguely remembered hearing a sound while napping at noon, but she couldn’t recall it clearly now.
Suddenly, a “ding” rang in her mind, startling her, and she let out a small “ah.” After a moment, she gradually calmed down and silently cursed, damn system.
“Welcome, Master. I am your portable system 008. System activated.
This system is a sign-in system. Each time you sign in, the materials granted are randomly issued. This system also comes with 100 square meters of storage space, where items can be freely placed and taken.”
Lin Shiyao’s heart leapt with joy. This was the golden tool every transmigrator needed! Late, but it had arrived—she truly was heaven’s favored daughter.
“System, I’ll call you Xiao Ba, otherwise calling you ‘system’ is too formal.”
“Understood, Master.”
“Xiao Ba, just call me Yaoyao.”
“Okay, Yaoyao.”
“…….” She thought to herself, this system really is robotic—so formal and mechanical.
Oh well, having it was better than not having it.
“Xiao Ba, how do I sign in? Do I need to go to a fixed location?”
“The sign-in location isn’t fixed. You can sign in anywhere you like. But the materials you receive vary by location.”
“Xiao Ba, how long can I use the storage space?” She had gained something fortunate, but she needed to clarify the rules.
“This system and storage space will follow you for life, until you die and leave this world.”
“Can others enter the space?”
“Yes.”
……Perfect! Lin Shiyao couldn’t help but feel thrilled. If danger arose, she now had a safe place to hide. After all, this era wasn’t exactly safe. She was a young, beautiful girl with no martial arts skills—if she couldn’t fight, she could at least hide.
After roughly understanding the rules of the system and storage space, she felt relieved. Important items could be stored safely, since nowhere else was as secure.
She tried saying “Enter,” and instantly appeared in the spacious storage. It was about the size of a house, completely empty inside.
There was nothing particularly beautiful, so she silently said “Exit” and appeared back where she had been.
Having verified that people could indeed enter the space, she was at ease. With the system and storage space, she had gained extra confidence in surviving in this era.
This would now be her biggest secret. She wouldn’t tell anyone—after all, you could never be sure of someone’s heart.
After fiddling around for a while, she realized she had no idea what time it was. She hadn’t graduated yet, and school continued tomorrow. Thinking of this, Lin Shiyao felt like crying—she had worked so hard to graduate university in her previous life.
Fortunately, the original host had good grades, and with her modern memory from a 985 university, she could easily obtain a graduation certificate early. She planned to get it next month and then find a job. Otherwise, she would be sent to the countryside—and she absolutely could not do that. She couldn’t even tell grass from seedlings; she couldn’t go ruin farmers’ crops.
Contributing anywhere is still contributing; every position needs people to shine.
Besides, poor and harsh regions breed difficult people—she couldn’t handle those extreme cases.
In previous historical novels she had read, the heroines were all amazing, fighting against the worst of the worst—but she couldn’t emulate that.
She glanced at the watch on the desk: 9:30. For modern people used to staying up late, the night life hadn’t even begun.
But it couldn’t be helped. This era was like this—no entertainment. Eat well, then sleep. After all, some people had physically demanding labor waiting the next day.
Lying on the bed, Lin Shiyao thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep. But before long, she drifted into a deep dream-filled slumber.
