Chapter 165: A promising future for the poor sword nun master x a mortal body, a lonely and taciturn
"Yes, and for this reason, the subsequent missions in the Quick Travel Bureau will gradually escalate. Host, you will still use your own body to complete the missions, but each subsequent identity will have its own complex past. Simply put, the nature of the subsequent missions will be 'rebirth mode'."
The system's voice was as clear as ever, but it carried a subtle hint, as if reminding Yun Qian that this mission was no longer a simple time travel, but was accompanied by a layer of entanglement from past lives that was difficult to separate.
"Not only do you need to complete the task of bearing a child with the Son of Destiny," the system continued, its tone a touch cautious, "you also need to address the past wishes of each identity and resolve the emotional entanglements of past lives."
Hearing this, Yun Qian couldn't help but frown and asked doubtfully, "Isn't this some revenge-fueled drama of a scumbag betraying his wife or sisters turning against each other?"
The system fell silent for a moment, as if caught off guard by Yun Qian's question. It was even a little surprised at where Yun Qian had accumulated so many complex plot ideas.
But she did hit the mark on some of the mission's requirements. Specifically, the most crucial point: fulfilling every past life's wish. The system finally spoke dryly, "Although it's not as... intense as you might imagine, at its core, you do need to help those in your past lives fulfill their unfulfilled wishes and resolve their obsessions in order to complete the mission."
Yun Qian was slightly startled by this, a complex mix of emotions welling up within her. The rebirth mission was far more challenging than simply traveling through time. Not only did she have to face unfulfilled wishes, but she also had to bear the pain and regrets of her past life. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "What if these wishes stemmed from misplaced relationships and betrayed feelings?"
The system sighed softly, as if it had heard something hidden within Yun Qian's worries. "Yes, host, the emotional turmoil of your past life may even be intertwined with the Child of Fate in your mission. After your rebirth, you will inherit these complex relationships, and you will not only need to navigate them, but also find the right path to liberation."
Yun Qian smiled helplessly, as if all this was a hint of drama. Since she was about to be caught in the trap, she could only accept her fate and work.
"...Maybe, host, you can prepare blood pressure medication. As for completing past wishes, you can obtain additional props and rewards. Furthermore, previously we only released the face-shaping panel, but now that you have completed the tasks of four worlds, we will open a detailed numerical panel."
"Please open it and take a look now. The new system is very interesting."
When the system said this, it became extremely excited for a moment, jumping and pulling Yun Qian, signaling her to open it quickly and take a look.
"Uh"
After seeing the content, Yun Qian fell silent for the first time in a long time.
"Extremely intelligent, eloquent, well-read, quick-witted, and unparalleled in strategy... a phoenix of extraordinary beauty..."
Yun Qian looked through them all and didn't find any of them that interested him. He just felt it was ridiculous. Why did it have to be so perfect? Could it be taken to the grave?
Until... her eyes came to one place.
"Invulnerable..."
"is this real."
Yun Qian's eyes lit up instantly. This skill was amazing! Yun Qian had never thought of a skill that suited her so well. It was like it had grown on her heart.
"Can I buy it now?" Yun Qian asked hurriedly.
"…In theory, it's possible. However, if you buy it now before you even start the mission, wouldn't it be a bit of a loss? As far as I know, sometimes there are sales in the mall, such as discounts or bundled sales. So I recommend buying it while the time is right."
The system was talking in a flash, but Yun Qian just watched and ignored it. Who knew if the so-called discount was really a discount?
It’s not like she hasn’t been in the real world before…
As someone who has understood the methods of capitalists, she would not easily believe such a discounted lie.
After all, she had seen with her own eyes that during the "discount" period, the prices of the originally booked goods did not decrease but increased. The platform simply marked a higher original price on it to create the illusion of a price reduction and deceive consumers.
Suddenly, "Hey, that's not right. I noticed you have a lot of meatballs here. There are so many of them. How can I use all of them by myself? Do you mean I can give them to others?"
"Yes, host. We have some effective pills that can be used to increase the health of characters in the small world. You can use them however you want.
"Even the main character's appearance design system was created by the Lord God!"
Hearing this, Yun Qian was momentarily puzzled, a faint sense of bewilderment rising within her. She was merely a minor character carrying out a mission, so how had the Lord God granted her such power to tweak their appearance? It would have been fine if the Lord God hadn't personally chosen the image, but why had he allowed her—a mere taskmaster—to decide the appearance of their Child of Destiny?
Although she was doubtful, she was still happy after all. It could be considered a pleasant surprise. She was secretly proud of herself: opportunities like this don't come often. Since she can decide the image of the male lead, can she refer to her own aesthetic taste for a little reference?
She'd seen countless TV dramas and movies set up the same stereotypically beautiful heroine, as if those without beauty couldn't carry the storyline. But how many of the audiences were women? Why did the male leads' looks so often fall short? It wasn't that the actors playing the male leads were bad, but standing next to the radiant female leads, they seemed from a different world, sometimes even awkward. Seeing them face each other with affection and deep affection made her nervous for the director.
Now, the Lord God had unexpectedly entrusted her with such a significant "aesthetic task," and Yun Qian couldn't help but feel a surge of urgency. However, before she could even consider how to proceed, the system gave her no time to hesitate. It directly activated the control panel, and the screen jumped to her eyes, as if awaiting her decision.
Suddenly, a massive portrait appeared before Yun Qian's eyes, like a celestial calf descending from the heavens. The figure in the painting wore a moon-white battle robe, its sleeves flowing like a shimmering aglow. He clutched a longsword, and at his waist dangled an exquisite jade cong, engraved with mysterious animal faces. He exuded a majestic presence, yet possessed a commanding presence. Looking up, his eyes were cold, yet tinged with a touch of compassion, as if he had weathered thousands of years of vicissitudes, a being from another world, gifted with unparalleled grace and a transcendent temperament.
Yun Qian couldn't help but take a deep breath: The person in this painting is truly a unique beauty in the world.
