【Ding, the mission world has been locked. Beginning transfer!】
*
Gou Liang opened his eyes.
The first thing he felt was dizziness.
【Gou Liang: Xiao Si, what's the situation now?】
He shook his head. The feeling of weightlessness and weakness that he hadn't felt in a long time made Gou Liang feel very bad.
He tried to stand up, but before he could get his legs into position, his whole body froze … Gou Liang stiffly lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw that "his" hand was stuffed between his legs, grabbing onto a pillar-shaped pendant.
Gou Liang: WTF?!
Without waiting for him to react, Gou Liang immediately realized his current situation.
This body had been stripped naked, not even a piece of cloth was left behind.
And the reason why his hand was still in this position when he woke up was because someone maliciously pressed the original owner's right hand between his legs and fixed it with transparent tape three times around the left and three times around the right.
【System: Dear master, the scan of the host's data has been completed. Your body is currently in an extremely weak state. It is recommended that you immediately purchase recovery medicine from the shop.】
Host, name Qi Cheng, male, seventeen years old, second year student of Le Cheng High School. His father died early and he followed his mother to remarry into the Ye family. He didn't have a good relationship with his stepbrother Ye Hui and his death was directly related to Ye Hui.
It turned out that at the opening ceremony of the high school, Qi Cheng developed a strong affection for the new student representative.
Ever since he discovered his abnormal sexual orientation in middle school, the original body became more silent and sensitive. He naturally didn't dare to say that he liked the other party.
And this one-sided crush ended one year later.
Not long ago, his stepbrother read his diary and found out that he liked Zhan Yongzhe. Ye Hui immediately had evil thoughts. Today, Ye Hui deliberately brought the original body to the washroom and forced him to say his feelings.
Zhan Yongzhe was listening outside the door and was disgusted.
Under Ye Hui's instigation, Zhan Yongzhe allowed others to beat up the original body and humiliate him by stripping him, tying him up in this position and taking pictures.
The original body was disliked by the person he liked. He was disheartened and didn't call for help after they left. In the end, he died from internal bleeding.
【Enduring the physical pain for a long time, Gou Liang frowned and said: Xiao Si, can you block the pain?】
The system that had just entered the mission world and had no experience, so it quickly responded and activated the pain blocking function for him. The sharp or dull discomfort disappeared. Gou Liang shook his numb left hand and tore off the tape binding him.
【Gou Liang: Where's Qi Cheng's soul?】
[System: It has been brought to the Space-Time Transfer Station and frozen. It will be released once this mission is completed or failed.]
Gou Liang understood and let the system extract the original owner's soul mirror image and feed it back to him.
【System: Master, the mirror image extraction tool only costs 99 points and can only be used in the current world. Confirm purchase?】
The store's order interface appeared in Gou Liang's mind. He stared blankly for a moment before giving a noble and cold smile.
【Gou Liang: Where's my donkey! Your driving structure is formed by my soul power. Can't you even do a small mirror image extraction! Don't talk nonsense with me. Hurry up!】
【System: … … Even so, the main system stipulates that the soul power master sealed in me is only used to connect to the main system, the store, and to protect master's original soul.】
【Gou Liang clicked his tongue: Then where did you get the information about the host?】
【The system pointed at itself and said without much confidence: Master, this is one of the basic functions given by the main system.】
【Gou Liang didn't ask what the other basic functions were. Instead, he quietly looked at the system that didn't have a physical body and snorted: Is the bureau crazy about making money? It's okay if you don't give me the mirror image feedback, but you have to think carefully. If I'm so unlucky that the main god's consciousness finds out that I'm an outsider and kicks me out of the mission world, don't blame me.】
[System: Master, please calm down. I'll send your question back to the main system QAQ.]
The system cried in its heart: Why did other systems sell the mirror image extraction tool so smoothly when the master entered the mission world for the first time? Why did it have such a stingy master? Tears Full Lapel. JPG
While waiting for the main system's reply, the system reminded Gou Liang of the host's physical condition again.
【System forced a smile and pretended to be lively: Ding, dear master, the original body is extremely weak. Do you want to buy recovery medicine from the store? This product has a promotion. The big gift package includes recovery, whitening, and slimming series. It's guaranteed to be worth the money. You can't miss it! It only costs 998 yuan during the promotion period. Only 998 yuan. Bring it home with you!】
【Gou Liang paused subtly: The longest path I've walked is the boss's trick. → - →】
【System: … Then, master, do you want to place an order?】
【Gou Liang asked back: Is there any Soul Returning Grass from the E-level world in the store?】
【System: Master, please wait a moment. Yes, master. Why are you asking this?】
Gou Liang thought to himself that it was as expected. He calmly asked how much it was sold.
【System: Because it comes from the E-level world, the Soul Returning Grass is cheap. Ten stalks for a bundle. Each bundle only costs 1 point.】
Gou Liang started to mock: According to the exchange rate of 1: 100 between points and soul coins, these ten stalks from the primary world, which could be bought for 1 soul coin in the main store of the Space Administration, were sold at the sky-high price of 1 soul coin per gram in the System's store! Gou Liang felt that the price difference reflected the bad intentions of the boss. He unhappily asked the system to place an order.
Gou Liang got up from the ground with a painful stomach. He washed his hands clean before taking out a stalk of Soul Returning Grass from the System Space. He leaned weakly against the sink and gnawed on it.
Not long after —
【System:!! (• '∀' •)!! Master, the physical attributes of the host are rising sharply. This, this, how could this be!!】
【Gou Liang's cold face: Don't you know that the Soul Returning Grass is the main ingredient of your fake 998 recovery medicine set?】
【System: (= ° Д ° =)】
— — How did the master know about this high-level secret that even the main system might not know?! But this was not important. The important thing was … it had foreseen its tragic sales performance.
After gnawing on three stalks of Soul Returning Grass, Gou Liang's fatal internal bleeding was healed. Color finally returned to his face. He did not eat the Soul Returning Grass to completely improve the body condition of the original owner. Instead, he stared at the mirror in front of the sink for a second and turned on the tap.
Splash.
The cold water hit his face. After fiercely rubbing his face, Gou Liang wiped away the water stains on his face and raised his head.
His fingers combed the wet hair behind his head, revealing the original owner's high forehead. This was clearly not the first time the original owner had been beaten by his stepbrother. Even the inner thighs of this body were bruised. There were not many places on the body that were not injured. However, there were no scars on the places that needed to be seen. This showed that he was very skilled.
The excessively white face had become rosy because of Gou Liang's rough scrubbing. The skin was so delicate that not a single pore could be seen. The large cat's eyes were black and white. The eyelashes were so long that people wanted to touch them. The bridge of the nose was high and the diamond-shaped smiling lips revealed sweet dimples when she smiled. The facial features of this face were beautiful to the point of being exquisite. Only the pair of eyebrows revealed a bit of sharpness.
— — This was a rare beauty.
Thinking like this, Gou Liang raised his eyebrows.
Just based on this face alone, the original owner should not have been chosen by the system as a host with very little connection between the soul and the other souls in this world. In other words, this person's interpersonal relationships were very poor. He had almost never reached the level of friendship with others.
While Gou Liang was pondering over the original owner's appearance, the system finally received a reply.
【Ding, dear master. In response to your question about the soul mirror item, the main system's response is as follows: In order to cooperate with the Space Administration, the current world's space-time has been frozen. The consciousness of the world's Main God has fallen into a deep sleep. The world's order is now under the control of the Main God's Law. Once an energy body that exceeds the world's established and conserved energy body appears, it will be directly obliterated by the Main God.】
【Therefore, the executor's soul power is sealed in the system and cannot be used. The products sold in the system store carry the special effect of the Main God's Law, so the production cost is very high.】
【In addition, in order to cooperate with your work and provide you with the greatest help, the main system has given the following solution: A one-time mirror extraction item will be introduced. The price will be 9 points. May I ask if master wants to place an order?】
【Gou Liang: … …】
Gou Liang already knew about the frozen space-time of the mission world before the mission, but he didn't expect there to be so many trivial details.
At this point, it was time to talk about the reason why Gou Liang appeared here.
He was originally at the bottom of the food chain in the Space Administration, an insignificant soul archivist. One time, he received instructions from his superiors to participate in a questionnaire survey. After that, he was hired as an executor to travel between worlds to complete a special task.
The reason was because of a mistake by the Space Administration, which caused an important item to be broken and leaked into the small world.
It was said that this was a Yu Gao -level secret that couldn't be revealed to the executor. It was very important. If it wasn't recovered in time, it would have a very bad impact, and it could even directly cause the Space Administration to collapse. No one could predict the degree of chaos and destruction that would ensue in the various planes of existence. In short, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The department tried their best to salvage the situation, but they could only lock onto the location of the fragment leak and confirm that the fragment had melted into a soul body in that world.
Therefore, the Space Administration set up an emergency response team to go to these worlds to recover the fragment.
But the superiors didn't expect things to be so troublesome.
A large number of elites were dispatched, but they didn't succeed in recovering the fragment. They had no choice but to start a wide selection of talents — that was how the questionnaire survey came about. Although Gou Liang couldn't figure out which of those strange questions had any reference value, the fact was that he was involuntarily selected.
Gou Liang refused at first.
He had been in the Space Administration for nearly a thousand years and lived a very comfortable life. He didn't want any changes in his life. What's more, in another ten years, he would welcome the once-in-a-thousand-years rotational vacation — he had started to make detailed travel plans a hundred years ago. Bosses who encroached on his legal vacation time should go to hell!
But the department's attitude was very tough. In the end, he argued for N benefits, signed a soul contract, and was sent here.
Benefit One: Paid external duty.
He worked diligently to earn soul coins. He couldn't not have any source of income for the foreseeable decades, centuries, or even millennia just because he was forced to do a mission, right?
Don't lie to him that he could earn a lot of points by advancing the mission progress bar. Don't tell him that after all the missions were completed, the points earned by the executor would be converted into soul coins at a ratio of 1: 100. Don't repeatedly mention that every mission completed would earn him 100,000 soul coins as an additional reward.
Who are you kidding?!
Those seniors who failed their missions and didn't earn anything and were still in the forced mission were already crying in the starry sky!
Benefit Two: His two soul pets would be sent to the soul pet hospital for free to enjoy the highest level of care during his mission period.
Although the two idiots who only knew how to eat "soul coins" and make "Piqiu Piqiu" sounds were the cheapest soul pets that only came in and didn't come out, they were also the only two companions that accompanied him for nearly a thousand years that could still breathe. Didn't Dad work himself to death outside so that they could live a better life? If he could return in his lifetime only to find that they had starved to death, it would be an unparalleled tragedy. He couldn't accept it!
Benefit Three: Initial points increased to 2000.
He wasn't stupid. Although he didn't know how the seniors who accepted the setting of 1000 initial points every time they entered the mission world were doing, the system's point loan system wasn't just for show. — — Reality proved that his worries were completely reasonable. The 1000 points were only enough to purchase a set of 998 recovery package. This meant that the other executors had to borrow money from the system if they wanted to use the soul body mirror to draw.
If the executors who overdrew their points still couldn't pay off the debt after the mission, they would have to pay with their private soul coins at a ratio of 1: 1.
The seniors who were used to living a comfortable life might not understand the hidden risks in this matter, but Gou Liang, who counted soul coins to get by, how could he not understand the sinister intentions of the boss? He had worked hard for the bureau for thousands of years, and in the end, the executor might even lose his pants. Was this really a soul agent?
Benefit Four: Upgrade the system space to eternal mode.
Gou Liang was a soul body that came from a transitional world.
The myriad of worlds recorded in the Space Administration's book were all ranked. Based on the highest individual soul power that the world could contain, it was divided into six ranks: E, D, C, B, A, and S.
The so-called transitional world was a world that was in the process of rank evolution.
For example, the world that Gou Liang was born in had failed to complete the evolution from a C-rank world to a B-rank world. It had already been destroyed.
This destruction didn't only refer to the destruction of the planet's environment and the death of life forms, it also included the destruction of the soul body that was carried by the life forms when the world collapsed. As a king-level psychic ability user, he was lucky enough to retain his soul body after the world ended. He then accepted the employment of the Space Administration.
Although almost a thousand years had passed, Gou Liang still remembered the feeling of hunger and cold. Therefore, as a soul body that could survive without food, he still retained his "foodie attribute" and "hoarding hobby".
As for the so-called eternal derivative space, after the mission ended, the things he collected in various worlds would still be his private possession.
Benefit N: His mission time was based on his regular work experience, and the rotating vacation that came once in a thousand years had to be accumulated and retained.
Therefore, after the bureau chief agreed to a number of requests, he kicked him into the mission world. If this guy didn't get a perfect score in the weird questionnaire exam, would I tolerate him? (# `U`)
*
Hearing the system's careful but persistent promotion sound, Gou Liang slightly calmed down his mood of wanting to curse. He bought a one-time soul body mirror in the mall.
The most important part of the soul body archivist's job was to extract and seal the soul body mirror — — in other words, to extract the memories of the deceased that the soul body carried in it.
Gou Liang was familiar with the process and quickly extracted the original owner's memories from the embryo stage into his own memory.
People would forget, but the traces engraved on the soul body would not disappear with the passage of time.
The original owner, Qi Cheng, originally came to this world with the expectations of his parents.
But before he was born, his biological father passed away in an accident. His biological mother was devastated, and she gave birth to the original owner of the body under extreme emotional stress. After giving birth, she was immersed in the pain of losing her husband. It wasn't until five years later that she met the original owner's stepfather and started another relationship that she slowly walked out of the pain. The original owner was neglected by his biological mother since birth. If it wasn't for the nanny who was responsible, he would have starved to death.
Twelve years ago, when the original owner was only five years old, he remarried with his biological mother and moved into the Ye Family. His situation was even more worrying.
He was an invisible person in the Ye Family. Seven years ago, his biological mother gave birth to his stepfather's youngest son and gave him even less attention. He grew up in this kind of neglected environment. His blood relations were cold and the one who had the strongest relationship with his soul body was his stepbrother who always bullied him.
When he first came to the Ye Family, the few times he resisted his stepbrother, his biological mother also blamed him. Over the years, the original owner developed an inferior and gloomy personality.
When he discovered his sexual orientation in middle school, he became even more isolated.
He was usually a loner, and rarely even looked up at people. His grades were also ordinary, and there was nothing special about him. Other than being scolded by the school several times because his hair was too long and covered his face, no one paid attention to his growth. Even his biological mother did not know what he looked like.
Of course, the original owner's personality also had an extreme side. That was because he was bullied by his stepbrother when he was a child and this fierce and immature personality was aroused. Although he was afraid of his biological mother and the original owner hid it well, there was no lack of curses towards his stepbrother in his diary, blaming his biological mother, and hating this world. He used this as a way to vent his dissatisfaction.
Until Zhan Yongzhe appeared in his world.
After changing his diary, his pen gradually became softer. Every day, he wrote about the person he secretly loved. What he heard, what he imagined, what he saw with his own eyes, even if it was just a glimpse of her back, he would carefully outline it. The original owner looked forward to meeting Zhan Yongzhe every day. For this feeling that sprouted in the dark, he ground away the sharp edges.
If this feeling was allowed to develop, even if it did not have a positive result, the original owner would have become a kind and positive person. It was a pity that he did not have this chance.
The original owner's short life quickly flashed through Gou Liang's mind. Although he was a pitiful person, these terrible memories did not touch Gou Liang at all.
For the Time Control Department's small staff member Gou Liang who was in charge of the soul records, he had seen too many similar cases in the past thousand years. There were many people who were more pitiful and miserable than the original owner. This kind of life could not arouse any emotions in Gou Liang. And the reason why he was in such a hurry to extract the original owner's soul was very simple. ↓
Mission Details No.1: The system will choose a suitable host to be the executor's first tool in the mission world. The world's mission time is based on the host's natural life. If the mission is completed early, there is a time limit to extract it.
Mission Details No.2: The executor cannot disturb the world's order.
This rule was very binding on the enforcer. First and foremost, the enforcer could not OOC. That is, the executor cannot make excessive actions that will cause others who are related to the host's original soul to doubt the authenticity of their identity and determine that the executor is not the original owner. When the original owner's soul is cut off from other soul bodies, the executor will be regarded as an outsider by the Lord God's Law and will be expelled from the mission world.
There was such a tragic precedent in the mission strategy and experience discussion board.
A certain executor wandered in the B-ranked beastman world for more than 40 years and finally locked onto a mission target with a 90% compatibility. Because the target's life was in danger and the situation was urgent, he used a fire ability item that the host did not have to save the target. After that, he was regarded as a god that descended on the host by the entire tribe. Thus, he denied the existence of the original owner and was directly kicked back to the mission transit space station.
It could be seen that even if the executor used a mission item that had the Lord God's Law immunity special effect, under this premise, there was still a huge risk.
The difficulty of completing missions in the beastman world rose sharply because of this accident.
In order to prevent similar situations from happening, the Space Administration not only updated the mission system to give priority to targets with weak soul connections when choosing hosts, but also introduced a new rule: If there was such a violation, not only would the mission be judged as a failure, but they would also have to pay compensation. After seeing the amount of compensation, Gou Liang completely gave up the idea of challenging the authority. It was a huge sum of money that he could not even get a fraction of after a thousand years of saving soul coins!
Gou Liang: I just want to be a quiet archivist! (* ^ *) = convex
