Countdown to Awakening

Fang Yu wanted to impress those who looked down on her. She wanted to prove that even though she was a girl, she was reliable. She wanted to make the family business even better.

This is a rare opportunity.

When Qi Yuanyuan returned home, she immediately put on the safety lock that Shang Wen gave her.

The moment he put it on, the silver lock suddenly glowed. A voice rang out in his head: "Ding! Host, activation successful!"

Qi Yuanyuan's mind trembled. This voice... seemed familiar.

It seemed to be the unknown voice in her head on the day she fell into a coma...

System?? She was bound to the system?

"Countdown, twenty-five years. Host, please change what will happen in the future within twenty-five years. If you fail..."

The sound stopped suddenly.

"What will happen if we fail? What will happen? Tell me!" Before Qi Yuanyuan could finish her words, Liang Xiaocui called her to go outside to help.

It was almost time for lunch, and Qi Yuanyuan went out after hearing the last part.

"Yuanyuan, wash the vegetables. We'll have dinner later." Liang Xiaocui said.

Qi Yuanyuan nodded and started washing the vegetables.

Liang Xiaocui stood up and took a small piece of pork belly, put it on the chopping board and cut it into small pieces.

I had some pork for lunch today. Although my family's conditions are not good, I still want to eat well. Eating more oily food will help me grow better, and it will also give me more motivation to work.

Qi Yuanyuan washed the vegetables and put them in the kitchen.

Liang Xiaocui suddenly noticed the red string around Qi Yuanyuan's neck and asked, "Yuanyuan, what's that hanging around your neck?"

Qi Yuanyuan made up an excuse and replied, "Uh...it's just a bead. I took it off my clothes and tied it to the string because it looked nice."

Liang Xiaocui sighed, hey... If her family was not poor, she would not let her daughter hang a bead buckled from a dress around her neck.

By the way, I haven't bought Yuanyuan a bracelet in all these years. The ones she had before were the ones she wore when she was a child, and now she can't wear them anymore.

Then she felt a little regretful.

After Qi Yuanyuan finished doing all this, she said, "Mom, I'm going back to my room first. Call me if you need anything."

"Oh, okay."

Qi Yuanyuan wanted to know what was so special about this system.

After returning to the room, she asked, "What's your name? How should I call you?"

"Ding—Host, I am Xiao Wei from the 22nd century. I will assist you in completing your mission."

As soon as the voice fell, Qi Yuanyuan asked again: "Are you from the 22nd century? Then tell me what happened in the 22nd century?"

Hearing this, a series of horrifying scenes emerged in her mind:

By then, the world's landmass had expanded considerably, and the remaining seawater had turned dark, or even colorful.

There is almost no clean water left.

The temperature continued to rise. People in the world also became strange. Some had three eyes, some had two heads... or even three heads and six arms.

It's totally different from people today...

People fought for the remaining fresh water, killing each other, but no one reflected on the mistakes of their fellow men.

The picture slowly fades away.

Qi Yuanyuan suddenly remembered the world before she traveled through time. It seemed even more serious than before...

If it remains like this in the future, then she really needs to change from now on. She used to complain about not having a system, but now she has one. Wouldn't it be easier for her to be successful?

So how come the silver locket Shang Wen sent me has a system? Did she also have a system herself?

Not sure.

She just thought that if there was a system, it would be more convenient to do anything in the future. Whether it was making money or something else...

Oh right, making money...

Now it was time to figure out how to use the system to make money. Thinking about it, she could get some advance information on lotteries and other things. She could also learn about future policies and so on.

But now is not the time.

With the system in place, we can prepare for things that will happen twenty-five years from now.

"What happens if the mission fails?"

"Host, if the mission fails, the host will die..."

what?

Qi Yuanyuan was shocked...

Why would I use her life to buy it? It wasn't her fault...

"Why do you want to exchange my life for it?" Qi Yuanyuan asked back.

"Host, this is your mission. I can read your mind. You've always hoped to change history. This is your chance. If you fail, you'll die."

I think, maybe she said before that she wanted to change history, so if she failed, she would have to die.

This was also to make her take that matter seriously. She hoped that history could be changed. She didn't want to experience death again. And die the same way.

All we can do is try to change that situation. At worst, there's Shang Wen, and together we should be able to change it for the better.

Qi Yuanyuan sighed.

"How can I unbind the system I'm bound to?" Qi Yuanyuan asked.

“…………………………” The system suddenly fell silent.

"If the silver lock is gone, we will have nothing to do with each other. But the host's life still needs to be saved..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Yuanyuan interrupted, "Okay, stop talking, I get it."

Liang Xiaocui finished cooking and left the kitchen, ready to call Qi Yuanyuan out for dinner.

Just as she reached the door and was about to open it, she suddenly heard Qi Yuanyuan talking to herself inside.

Liang Xiaocui was suddenly surprised. Could it be that her family conditions were too poor, causing her child to have mental problems?

Or was it because she didn't have a good necklace that made her feel inferior? She hadn't expected that.

And then fell into fear again.

She only has this one daughter, and she can't let her become mentally ill.

Then he knocked on the door and called out, "Yuanyuan, come out for dinner. Your dad will be back soon."

Qi Yuanyuan was inside. When she heard Liang Xiaocui calling her, she quickly sat up. "Okay, Mom, I'll be there in a minute. You eat first."

After tidying up, Qi Yuanyuan went out.

The family of three sat at the dining table, eating. Liang Xiaocui suddenly asked Qi Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, are you... under too much pressure after the college entrance examination? I heard you talking to yourself at the door just now..."

Qi Yuanyuan was suddenly startled.

"Mom... I... no, I was just playing. The college entrance examination has been over for so long, why would I still feel pressured? I have already received my admission letter a long time ago. Mom, don't worry." Qi Yuanyuan explained.

Oh... How could she have heard this? This is so embarrassing...

Qi Yuanyuan quickly picked up the food and put it into her mouth to ease the embarrassment.

"What's wrong? Yuanyuan, what did you say? Are you sick? Why don't you go to the clinic to check it out? Then we can feel at ease." After saying that, Qi Rongfeng also picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Then he said, "This meat is well cooked and very fragrant."
