From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life
Chapter 172: The System Tricks Me Again
The princess' words solved Tian Yu's second mission. Could it be that everything was so easy?
At this moment, the electronic sound of the system in my brain sounded——
[Player 110 triggers hidden mission: Longevity Limit]
[You have successfully found three long-lived women in the dungeon. Please explore the secrets behind their longevity and help them out of trouble.]
[Task Reward: 300 points, the third series of dungeons will be completed ahead of schedule, and players will receive all rewards in the dungeon]
Tian Yu listened to the system's prompts in his mind.
If she guessed correctly, the original requirements of her three tasks were all to disrupt the original trajectory of the Longevity Girl.
The first mission is to help Qiu Niang wake up from the endless cycle of reincarnation.
The second task is to fulfill Jing's long-cherished wish, but up to this point, she still has doubts, because she still doesn't know why Jing is considered to have a long life?
The eldest princess looked at Tian Yu, and seeing that she hadn't spoken a word, she found a comfortable place to sit down.
"You are a little clever, but there is no need to lie to me."
The eldest princess chose Tian Yu because she was more clear-headed than anyone else in the world.
She originally thought that she would continue to wander in endless time, until the general's eldest daughter's temperament seemed to change, which led to everything being completely different from the time she had experienced before.
She wanted to take a gamble and bet that the key to breaking the deadlock lies in Chen Shengjing.
The room suddenly became quiet. The eldest princess kept recalling her stories in endless time in her mind. Tian Yu was quickly calculating the pros and cons of agreeing to the eldest princess's request.
"The princess is the most noble person in the world. How can she talk about matters of life and death all the time?" Tian Yu spoke in a roundabout way, as if he wanted to test her again.
"You don't have to practice Tai Chi with me." The eldest princess laughed.
"If you are not Chen Shengjing, have you noticed anything unusual about her?" The eldest princess looked at Tian Yu with a probing look in her eyes.
"Your Highness, I am indeed Chen Shengjing. Your Highness is joking."
No matter what, Tian Yu would not admit it.
The princess waved her hand: "Forget it, forget it."
"It doesn't matter whether you are or not, have you noticed anything unusual in your body these days?"
The eldest princess looked Tian Yu up and down.
"I am in good health and there is nothing abnormal." Tian Yu was telling the truth. Her body was indeed developing according to the natural laws of growth.
The princess chuckled and suddenly changed the subject, asking, "You burned the alchemist to ashes."
It seemed that no matter what he did, he could not escape the eyes of the princess. Tian Yu admitted this time again: "Yes, he is a man who deceives people with his lies. It is not a pity to die."
"You did a very straightforward job, but you interrupted my plan."
Although the princess expressed regret, she did not show any regret on her face.
"Then where should I go to find the immortal next?"
She glanced at Tian Yu, as if she was scolding him, but also as a reminder.
"If the princess needs me for anything, I will do my best."
Tian Yu kowtowed again. Practicing Tai Chi tonight had consumed a lot of her energy, and she was feeling a little irritated.
"Whether there are immortals in this world is unknown, but I have lived for so many years and I know one thing: if you want to solve the strangeness of my body, only that person's secret technique can work."
When the princess said this, it seemed that she wanted Tian Yu to find the player.
"You are joking, Princess. That person is already dead. Where do you want me to look for him?"
"Didn't you go to the bank of the Lushui River? Didn't you find the woman named Qiu Niang?"
The princess said it lightly, as if it was just an insignificant matter.
But after these words were spoken, Tian Yu could no longer hold back. The eldest princess knew much more than he thought.
"Snapped!"
Tian Yu straightened her back, bent her knees, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily, saying: "I am a stupid person, please teach me, Princess."
It was just a matter of bowing, which was not a big deal for Tian Yu. If she wanted to know the truth now, she had to make the princess happy.
"Think it over carefully. After listening to my story, you have to finish my job."
"If you can't do it, you will have to stay here with me forever."
Tian Yu was frightened by the princess' words. It seemed that if she failed to complete this mission, she would be trapped in the copy. She suddenly remembered that her mission did not mention how to escape from the copy.
This is the second trick set up by the system in the series of copies.
Only when the hidden task was triggered just now did Tian Yu see hope of leaving the copy.
Doesn't that mean that if she doesn't trigger the hidden quest, she will continue to stay in this copy even if she completes the three quests?
In this series of copies, the system suddenly became more sinister, far more so than before.
Tian Yu always felt that the setting and concealment of these tasks seemed to be just to keep her here forever.
Tian Yu kowtowed again and said, "Of course I think it's clear."
Tian Yu had no choice. With her current strength, it would be a fantasy for her to know the truth of the matter. And the person involved happened to be standing in front of her, so why not be direct?
And the hidden task that appeared with the eldest princess' words happened to overlap with all of this. If she wanted to leave the copy, she had to complete the task.
As the eldest princess told the story in detail, a rather strange story slowly unfolded in front of Tian Yu.
In the winter of the eighth year of Mingde, the eldest princess was born.
"If you think about it carefully, the emperor now has to call me aunt."
Although the eldest princess was smiling, her face revealed a hint of melancholy.
After hearing this, Tian Yu understood a lot. The princess's longevity also meant that she would not age as time went by. This was consistent with what General Chen had told him.
I just don't know if there are any restrictions.
"That year I was already a princess, of noble status."
"If this continues, it wouldn't be a bad idea to marry a good family and live a peaceful and stable life."
"When I was your age, a Taoist priest came to the palace in elegant white clothes."
"My father trusted him very much. Thanks to his medicine, my father's body, which was beginning to weaken due to aging, has improved a lot."
Tian Yu's eyebrows jumped when he heard this. Another Taoist priest in white? This person has appeared in the memories of the two long-lived women. What is he doing?
Recalling those stories from many years ago, the eldest princess's expression changed from happy to sad, and it seemed that her emotions were far from being as stable as usual.
"One day, the Taoist priest told my father that if he wanted to live forever, he could find the elixir of immortality for him."
"Logically, I shouldn't know such secrets, but my father's method of immortality is based on my flesh and blood."
