Chapter 1: Crossing Again
On a cool autumn weekend, Guanyin Mountain was crowded with tourists. Ye Zhiqiu mixed in the crowd and climbed up with difficulty.
Unlike other tourists who went up the mountain to play, she went up the mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha. It is said that the incense in the Guanyin Temple on the mountain is the most effective, and some people travel thousands of miles to the mountain to pray to the gods and worship the Buddha.
She lives at the foot of the mountain. Is it not superstitious for her to go up the mountain to pray to the Buddha for blessings to help her get ashore during her study breaks?
Even if she was superstitious, she would accept it. If she failed to get ashore successfully, her family would arrange a blind date for her, and she didn't want to get married at a young age.
Which good girl is willing to abandon her biological parents, bring her own dowry and go to her husband's house to be a free nanny, paying herself a salary to serve her husband, take care of her children, and be filial to her parents-in-law?
She is not stupid.
It is said that climbing up a mountain is easy but descending is difficult, but Ye Zhiqiu found it difficult. He consumed half of his health and only climbed halfway up the mountain. When he stopped to rest, he was robbed by a group of monkeys...
Ye Zhiqiu felt something was wrong and wanted to hide, but the tourists who loved the crowds thought this was an opportunity to watch the monkeys up close. Not only did they not run away, but they took out their own fruits and snacks to feed the monkeys.
She rolled her eyes secretly: I really haven't seen how powerful the monkey brother is. If the stupid monkey tries to rob it, who can beat him? No, even if I can beat him, how many people dare to hurt protected animals, and are not afraid of being imprisoned for life?
Ye Zhiqiu admitted that she was a coward, but compared to her life, being a coward was not shameful.
She retreated quietly, but she was not prepared for an unexpected change. An idiot from nowhere saw the cute little monkey and reached out to hug it. Before the little monkey expressed his reluctance, the old monkey rushed into the crowd with an excited look...
In an instant, the crowd and the monkeys were in chaos.
Ye Zhiqiu was so angry. She knew it was wrong, but no one listened to her.
When she stood up to persuade them, no one listened and a group of people even mocked her for being timid.
Haha, they were not timid at all. They ran faster than rabbits. If she was a step slower, she would be pushed out by some unscrupulous person to block the disaster.
"Help!"
"Ahhhh!"
……
In the TV station's live studio, the anchor reported the news with a sad and serious expression: "On the morning of the 8th local time, a group of monkeys injured people in Guanyin Mountain. A young woman was unfortunately killed in the incident."
"According to the reporter, the woman had just finished the national exam and ranked first in the written exam. If there hadn't been this accident..."
Ye Zhiqiu woke up again and found himself floating in mid-air. He pinched his thigh subconsciously, but it didn't hurt at all.
Ah! Has she turned into a ghost?
No, she doesn't want to die yet. She hasn't seen enough handsome men and beautiful women, and her wonderful life has just begun.
why!
Why did she get into trouble? Why was she the only one who died young among so many people? If she had known that she would lose her life because of a monkey, she would have stayed away from Guanyin Mountain.
Unfortunately, money can’t buy early knowledge!
Ye Zhiqiu floated in the air and watched her parents feel sad because of her accidental death, but this sadness did not last more than half a day, and her parents took the opportunity to demand a huge amount of compensation from the Guanyin Mountain Management Office.
The daughter I raised with great effort for over thirty years is gone just like that. It would be a huge loss if I don't ask for compensation.
The Ye family had planned how to use the compensation: they would buy their son a wedding house, an Audi, and the couple would keep the remaining money for their retirement.
The money should have been paid by the future son-in-law, but now that the daughter is gone, where can a son-in-law be found? The management office should not blame them for being unreasonable. If they want to blame someone, blame the wild monkeys in the mountains for causing harm.
Ye Zhiqiu floated in the air and watched his parents' various magical operations, gradually going from sad to numb.
If there is an afterlife, she hopes...
"Do you want to live?" A cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Ye Zhiqiu's mind.
"Who? Who's talking?"
"Do you want to live?" the machine voice repeated.
Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, who wants to die when they can live? It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death!"
"System binding successful! Newbie gift pack is being sent..."
The cold sound of the machine sounded, and a lucky bag icon automatically popped up in Ye Zhiqiu's mind. He was curious but resisted the urge to click it.
She is not an ignorant girl. As someone who has read thousands of online novels, she knows all the basics of the system. The question is what kind of system is this?
Even if she became a ghost, she would not dare to trust a free system. Where could she find such a good thing?
She was not lucky enough to be killed by a monkey. Even if she encountered a system, it would probably be a bad system that sucked people's luck.
"Host, please rest assured. I will not absorb people's luck. I am not a bad system. I will not harm others, let alone you."
Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes. What bad guy would write "I am a bad guy" on his face?
You can't trust strangers, let alone a strange system. I don't know if her death was caused by the system. What if it was...
"Host, your death was an accident. It has nothing to do with Tongzi. Don't slander Tongzi. I am a good system!" The cold machine voice finally changed, revealing a hint of anger in its indifference.
It had seen thousands of hosts, but this was the first time it encountered such a timid and cautious host.
Humph, if it had not been successfully bound, it would have definitely changed its host. You know, it is very popular, and many people are crying and shouting to join the army of time travel.
Ye Zhiqiu didn’t know whether what the system said was true or not, but it was true that many readers wanted to join the army of time travelers, but she didn’t want to. If she were to travel back to ancient times, it would be fine if she were a man, but it would be miserable if she were to be reborn as a woman.
Not only is my life cheaper than grass, but I don’t even have tampons. Just thinking about it makes me want to die and be reborn.
The man and the master fell into silence, and the two sides began to compete in patience.
Ye Zhiqiu was not anxious. The worst that could happen was that he would continue to be a ghost. If he was unhappy as a human being, then being a ghost was not that scary. But the system lost its temper first: "Host, since you are here, why don't you give it a try? It's better than being a ghost forever."
God is here!
The problem is that Ye Zhiqiu was really moved by what she said. She didn't want to be a ghost. She wanted to eat all kinds of delicious food, wear beautiful clothes, and touch handsome men and beautiful women, instead of being a painful ghost.
Forget it, let's just give it a try. She has no money and no sex appeal, so I guess the system can't gain anything from her.
"Host, I am glad to serve you. You can call me 007."
"007? I'm still a mission within a mission."
System: “…” Forget it, considering that the host has just turned into a ghost, it will say less and get down to business first.
"Please collect your novice gift pack, otherwise it will be invalid."
"Tsk, if it's invalid, it's invalid. I don't want it." Ye Zhiqiu yelled loudly, but his hands moved quickly and he quickly opened the lucky bag.
"The Secret Book of the Kitchen God, The Four Famous Embroideries, Women's Rings, Educational Psychology, Three Character Classic, Thousands of Essays, what the hell are these? Why are they all useless? Why are there no secret books on cultivating immortality, no powerful pills, and no detoxification pills?"
"Host, I'm sorry, this is a good thing left by the previous host. I don't have the immortal cultivation secret manual, and it's useless to give it to you. Your level is low, and you can't enter the immortal cultivation world."
The system also wants to enter the world of immortal cultivation and kill everyone, but unfortunately the host is a novice. It is courting death to enter the world of immortal cultivation right after joining the army of time travelers. It is unknown when the host will have to earn enough points.
"If you don't have the immortal cultivation manual, a martial arts manual will do. If that doesn't work, some gold, silver, and jewelry would be better than a pile of waste paper." Ye Zhiqiu wanted to bargain with the system for something good, but he felt dizzy...
damn it!
