The vicious female supporting role becomes the female lead

This sudden mission weighed heavily on her heart like a heavy yoke, driving her to act without hesitation. Almost subconsciously, she immediately rushed out of the familiar room, the system's guidance path clearly emerging in her mind, and she ran towards the river like the wind.

As she rushed to the river's edge, the sight before her gripped her heart. A crowd of people gathered there like a tide, their cries of fear and sobs mingling like a mournful symphony. And in the muddy water, a small figure struggled desperately, its faint cries for help seeming to be a cry for help from the world. Chu Qiao's gaze, sharp as an eagle's, instantly locked onto the struggling child.

At that moment, time seemed to stop. Only she and the child remained in the world. Without a trace of fear, without a moment's hesitation, she stripped off her outer garment like a fearless warrior. The thin garment traced a graceful arc in the air before she tossed it far away onto the riverbank. Then, she took a deep breath and, like a shooting star, leaped into the icy water.

The coldness of the river water was far more intense than she had imagined, like countless icy needles piercing her skin simultaneously, causing her to shiver uncontrollably. The current was also far more turbulent than she had anticipated, as if a ferocious beast was trying to devour her. But Chu Qiao held only one conviction: to rescue this poor child, no matter what. She must not let him perish in this icy water. She gritted her teeth and swam toward the child with all her might. Her arms paddled vigorously through the water, each movement brimming with unwavering determination and boundless strength. The sound of the water breaking through the surface, like an echo of her inner cry, echoed across the river for a long time.

Finally, her hand, like a clamp, grasped the child's arm firmly. Feeling the tender life tremble slightly in her grasp, she felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction well up in her heart. Then, she held the child tightly in her arms, as if guarding a precious treasure, and began to swim with all her might towards the shore. In her eyes, only the warm light on the shore and the expectant eyes of the people were in her sight. She knew that if she held on a little longer, she could snatch this child back from the clutches of death.

The child's family on the shore were like ants on a hot pan, their hearts swirling with anxiety. Sometimes they stood on tiptoe, gazing out at the distant, turbulent waters, as if they could see Chu Qiao and the child in the next second; sometimes they hugged each other tightly, their eyes filled with worry and anticipation. Every minute and every second felt like a century to them, the pain of waiting more unbearable than any punishment.

When they finally saw Chu Qiao safely bringing the child to shore, their emotions erupted instantly, tears of excitement streaming down their cheeks like a flood, their faces filled with indescribable joy and gratitude. They kept saying words of gratitude, their voices blending together like the most beautiful melody in the world.

Chu Qiao gently handed the child to them, her eyes revealing a tenderness and reassurance. Then, she quietly stepped aside, her heart ablaze with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. This satisfaction came not from external praise or material rewards, but from her saving the child and her selfless act of kindness.

At this moment, the system interface flashed again, and updated information came into view: "Kindness value +10, invisibility cloak (limited time) has been issued to your inventory." This news made Chu Qiao stunned for a moment, and then an inexplicable excitement surged in her heart.

She eagerly opened her inventory. A transparent cloak lay there, like a star in the night sky, exuding a mysterious and alluring aura. She knew this cloak would grant her unimaginable abilities, allowing her to navigate future adventures with greater ease. But at the same time, she also understood that true strength came not from external equipment alone, but from the kindness and boundless courage within her heart.

"Shu Ling, I did it," Chu Qiao whispered softly into the air, a subtle hint of pride etched in her voice. It was a validation of herself, a recognition of her inner resolve. She understood that it was precisely because she had always maintained a kind heart that she was able to make the right choice at the critical moment and save the child. This courage and perseverance would become her driving force, guiding her towards an even brighter future.

"Congratulations, employer! Your outstanding performance is truly commendable!" The book spirit's voice echoed again, its tinge of joy palpable, as if permeating the air. "The kindness and courage you've displayed shine like the stars, earning you your first truly significant reward. This is the ultimate affirmation of your tireless efforts. You must continue this work, for every good deed you perform will be like a mysterious magic, bringing you a steady stream of surprising rewards."

Chu Qiao nodded gently. She knew this was only the beginning, that the task she shouldered was far from over, and that it was far from time to relax. But she had already fully prepared herself, eager to face the challenges that lay ahead. She carefully donned the magical invisibility cloak, and instantly, an unprecedented sense of freedom and power washed over her. The feeling was truly wonderful. She knew that this invisibility cloak would be a powerful aid in her long journey to conquer the hero, allowing her to go further and higher.

She took a deep breath, a breath that seemed to carry boundless courage and determination, and then, like a ghost, she vanished into the bustling crowd, embarking on her next arduous mission. At this moment, Chu Qiao's heart was filled with unwavering determination. She wasn't simply thinking about conquering the hero; she longed to hone herself in the process, to become a better and more wonderful person. Her steps were steady and powerful, each one akin to treading on a path of hope leading to a glorious future, radiating an unstoppable light.
