Did she sound callous or cold-hearted? Why didn't Ni Mei seem like she mind her words? But Li Hani had no time to think more as Ni Mei had already rummaged through the whole room and managed to find some clothes for her too.
"Change out of that," said Ni Mei as she threw the clothes at Li Hani looking like she was giving alms. She sure had the expression that was asking for a beating but Li Hani didn't mind it at all.
Li Hani looked down at the sexy nightgown she was wearing and then she looked at the clothes that Ni Mei threw over. It was a pair of crop top and shorts. "Isn't it cold outside?"
"The night has passed," replied Ni Mei. "Cold? It's gonna be hot like lava outside. If I could, I'd like to run around without any clothes."
[Hahaha! Ni Mei, I didn't know you had such hobbies. I seem to be getting to know you for the first time.]
Li Hani read the barrage on the holographic screen above Ni Mei's head and also felt like laughing.
But without a word, she entered the bathroom. Looking at the grand scene in the bathroom, Li Hani didn't know how to feel. If she hadn't seen Ni Mei hoarding supplies, she would have thought that apocalypse had ended long ago.
She put the clean clothes on the cabinet and paused. She looked at those delicate hands and forgot to react for a moment. Then she turned around and looked at the mirror. Seeing the reflection in the mirror, her eyes widened in shock. She tremblingly lifted her hand to touch her face and the reflection in the face followed suit.
She was left staring at the reflection in shock and disbelief. Her worldview was spinning and she was confused than ever before.
[What is Ni Ni looking at?]
[Did she get injured? Why does she keep staring at her reflection like she had seen a ghost?]
In the reflection, Li Hani saw the holographic screen appear above her own head and reading those barrages, her head was spinning. This face wasn't hers, it belonged to Ni Ni. This body wasn't hers either. What the hell was going on?

The system that had gone silent suddenly popped up again and Li Hani finally woke up from her trance.
"System!" she called out. "Come out! Are you pretending to be dead now? Come out and explain to me what's going on here."
[System isn't pretending to be dead. System has been trying to analyze the situation and where it went wrong.]
"And? What's the result?"
[Why don't you look at the screen first?

Li Hani read the stats and her frown didn't disappear even for a minute. She didn't understand initially but slowly, things settled in. Especially when she looked at the upper right corner of the screen and froze.
"Today is 14th of December, 2046?"
[Yes.]
"But... But how is that possible? The last memory in my head is of 14th of December, 2043. Did I time travel into the future? And not only that, I also took over the body and identity of another person? Where is the original owner?"
System's mechanical voice actually gave off a bit of dejected feel as it answered, [According to system's analysis, you are the Host Ni Ni who fit the criterion for system binding. Even if you are another soul taking over the body, it shouldn't be like this. System did not find any foreign soul invading the body.]
"Then what are you trying to say?" asked Li Hani.
[You are Host Ni Ni.]
"I am Li Hani!"
[No, you are Host Ni Ni. Even if you are not, then you have to be Host Ni Ni now. The broadcast system has already been bound and even completed the first first broadcast, there is no going back now.]
"What if I refuse?" asked Li Hani.
[You can't refuse. Because you are overtaking Host Ni Ni's body that means, you have to take on her life and responsibilities too. Besides, if you want to survive the apocalypse, you need me.]
"I need you?" Li Hani raised her brow in interest. "Why do I need you?"
[Live Broadcasting System is also known as the Fate Changing System. The purpose of the system is to help the Host and lead her toward the pinnacle of life. Every day, at random times, the broadcast will begin for random interval of times. During that live broadcast, once the Host can receive gifts from the viewers of the interstellar age. These gifts can be converted into points and points can be used in the system mall to buy anything you can think of. Apart from that, at random times, the system can also issue a task with corresponding rewards and points. Are you sure you want to give up such a cheat in the end times?]
Li Hani fell silent when she took in all that. "Go away first. I need to take a bath and change clothes."
[You can relax, System has a privacy function. Besides, there is nothing to see there.]
Li Hani looked down at her chest which was not as big as her original body but it wasn't that bad either. She felt like punching the system but sadly, the system was hiding in her head.
Without the system's voice, Li Hani took out her clothes and took a shower with clean water. She refreshed from the shower and her mind also relaxed. Anyway, she was now, Ni Ni. Wasn't her nickname Nini too? Why should she be stuck on this for so long? It was better to go with the flow.
She finally had the chance to not only live again but she also got a healthy body. And adding on the system that inexplicably appeared, it all seemed too good to be true. But she had believe that it was true. Because only then could she get back her revenge and get back all those who hurt her.
