Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

[69, how could I open the beginner's package?]

Shen Yun spoke internally after she finished fishing out information from the maids.

She's on her way to meet the evil half-sister, after all, she should at least do the minimum preparations.

From the fact that Shen Meilin left Shen Qiaolian alive, her life shouldn't be in grave danger, or at least she'll be left with barely a breath.

But just in case-

Just in case she accidentally lost rationality and provoked Shen Meilin to the point she wanted her dead in that instance, she should have the means to defend herself.

There was quite a distance between the west wing courtyard and the southeast courtyard Shen Yun stays at.

As an ordinary human without the ability to boost her speed, like she'll even do that if she had, Shen Yun would take about a 30 minutes walk before reaching her destination.

It can't be blamed, the manors in this world were bigger than those of ancient china.

Since most of the space is used as training rooms to train people from the Shen Clan.

It seems this is one of Shen Meilins plans on tormenting Shen Qiaolian.

With this weak body full of hidden injuries, even just standing straight up for a couple of minutes is enough to cause severe pain, let alone walking this distance.

That's why Shen Yun plan's to use it to her advantage.

Why rush, just take your time and have a nice stroll.

And planning on how to lay down the foundations to take down a Clan on the way is also nice ah~

[The host just needs to think of the hologram for it to automatically appear in front of the host.

Host can access all the available features of the system there.]

Shen Yun gave a light nod, indicating she understood.

Just as 69 said, just as she thought about the hologram, it appeared in front of her.

{Welcome

System Shop

System Upgrade

Features

Add-ons

Inventory}

Shen Yun didn't need to touch it as the inventory opened by itself just as she thought about it.

She's curious on what the other sections might be, but there's currently not much time.

the hologram's layout changed to that of similar to those of game inventories of online games.

And sitting in one of the boxes was a package with the background colored gold.

She clicked the glowing box without knowing what to expect.

[Would you like to open the system package? Yes or No.]

[Yes]

A blinding white light envelops Shen Yun's sight.

[hey 69, I know you wanna look cool and mysterious, but why lights eh?! My poor eyes!!]

Shen Yun complained.

These kind of special effects are cool to look at in televisions and movies,

But really a pain in the ass if you experience it yourself.

[Can the host give this system mercy and shut up.]

69 is fed up with this host, where was the bloody mad woman who laughs in the middle of slaughtering others?

Did it malfunction and bind with the wrong host?

Truth be told, the system didn't malfunction.

It's just that it has access to Shen Yun's inner dialogue revealing her true thoughts without reservation.

And to be fair, even if Shen Yun complains a lot, she'll complete her goals to the best of her capabilities.

As the bright light faded from Shen Yun's sight, the first thing that dawned on her was...nothing.

She didn't feel a hint of difference.

[Don't tell me that bright light was really nothing but special effects?]

She spoke as if she found this situation ridiculous.

Sure there's some extra items in the inventory but what do you need light there for?

[...Can the host just focus on the importance rather than paying attention to trivial things?]

69 really wants its host to just focus her attention to the important matter.

It did not feel shameful about the useless special effect the admin added, but because they were running out of time.

Yes, it's definitely because of that.

With the persuasion of the system, Shen Yun focused on the items that appeared in her inventory.

There were a total of 3 items.

A cultivation technique, a pill, and a cultivation skill.

That's all.

Shen Yun: [...]

69: [...]

[it comes with.... Additional 15 points?]

69 tried to remediate the situation, worried it's host would blow up.

Sigh…

But contrary to its expectations, Shen Yun was calm.

'It's better than nothing, I guess?'

Shen Yun tries to comfort herself and be satisfied with what she owns.

She didn't expect it to be much help for the mission anyways.

At Least this thing increases her chance of surviving, even if it's just a little bit.

If she dies in 3 years…

Then she dies, ah.

She was supposed to be dead anyways, just consider those 3 years as an extension of her pathetic life.

But Shen Yun isn't the kind to give up without putting up a fight.

If fate won't allow it, and destiny is already written;

Then just don't give a fuck about fate and rewrite destiny.

Smirk.

That's more similar to Shen Yun's style of dealing with things

Besides, she still has something to live for.

A cold glint passed through her eyes.

69 let out a sigh of relief of its host not being discouraged.

You can't do things if you already gave up internally.

[You mentioned I can buy things with points eh?

Can I earn them in other ways besides completing the missions?]

If one way doesn't seem to work, then you should always find another way around.

[Host can accumulate points by gathering deep negative emotions towards people who are hostile to the host, as well as pure emotions.]

[Host needs to be informed that points from pure emotions, such as gratitude and faith, amount more than negative emotions since they don't need filtering.]

Shen Yun expresses her understanding without putting much care for the 2nd sentence.

Even if it's more, it is harder to do.

Why would she play the saint when it's more fun being the devil?

And would you look at that?

She looks straight ahead, across the pond.

A courtyard bustling with maids could be seen beyond the trellis situated in front of the pond.

The trellis supported a vine plant which grew purple flowers,swaying in the wind gently.

Variety of flowers with each having unique traits were displayed.

The courtyard could be described as something straight out of a fairytale.

That's a bit of exaggeration, but for Shen Yun who was surrounded by the smell of rotting flesh and haven't seen a single green plant, let alone a flower for years, it truly seems like so.

[In fairness, even if she is a vixen that deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces, she has good taste.]

Shen Yun couldn't help but lament.

She too, had a garden full of flowers once upon a time.

Seeing someone else having something she wants really gives her the desire to ruin it ah~ what should she do?

System 69: It looks like it grabbed the correct host, so vicious.

Shen Yun needed points, and inside that courtyard is a person,

The perfect target to exploit those negative emotions is now standing just across her.
