Quick Transmigration: The Carefree Life of a Background Character

"Ding—Random task issued. Random task one: Please prevent the original owner from dying. Reward for completion: 200 points."

"Ding—Random task issued. Random task two: Please lead the male and female protagonists of the original book to conquer the world and unify the countries. The reward for completing the task is 2000 points."

Ziyue was riding on horseback when she entered the world and heard the system issue two random tasks.

Moreover, she could understand the first random mission, since it was related to the original owner of the body, but the second mission, which asked her to unify the world, was a bit too much.

She's a lazy bum and has no desire to get up and start any kind of career!

She won't do it, she won't do it.

Anyway, she can accept random tasks whenever she wants, or not accept them, or accept them but not complete them, there will be no penalty or impact on her, so why should she take on extra work for herself?

So she rolled her eyes and mentally called 999.

"Little Jiu'er, I'm not doing this job."

"Host, the world is a place where things tend to unite after a long period of division, and divide after a long period of unity. The various countries in this world have experienced too much war. While the major powers are not yet clearly affected, many people in some small countries are suffering from the ravages of war, living in constant fear, starvation, and hardship."

"Even though the male and female protagonists in the original book managed to make Jingli Kingdom the number one country, war still broke out many years later."

"Host, host, end the war as soon as possible, unify the world, and let the people live a life without war. This is a great deed."

"Dear host, you can do it!"

Ziyue lowered her head and pondered. "Alright, it wouldn't be bad to make a fortune."

However, she wouldn't let herself overwork herself...

A moment later, he said to Xiao Jiu'er, "Xiao Jiu'er, let's accept all the missions first."

"Okay, host, I believe you can do it. Although this is in ancient times and resources are somewhat lacking, I will do my best to help you."

"Ding—A military strategy gift pack is awarded to the host. Learning these will ensure that the host can use troops like a god on the battlefield, strategize within the command tent, and win battles from afar."

Ziyue clicked on the small gift-shaped box on the system panel, and suddenly the box disappeared. Instantly, she felt her brain being stuffed with all sorts of military knowledge, but fortunately, her mind was strong, and she quickly digested it all.

The original owner returned to the capital because some small countries and two other large countries were relatively stable recently, and his emperor uncle was about to celebrate his birthday. So he led 10,000 personal troops back to the capital to celebrate his emperor uncle's birthday.

In the original book, after the news of the original owner's unfortunate death reached the capital, the emperor was extremely saddened and fell seriously ill. The original birthday celebration could not be held as usual, and the whole city wore white mourning clothes to mourn the original owner.

Riding on her horse, Ziyue idly opened the system shop. A light blue screen appeared in front of her, invisible to everyone else except Ziyue herself.

Looking at the various items in the system shop, Ziyue's gaze suddenly stopped on the Soul Devouring Technique. She clicked on the description of the Soul Devouring Technique: It can capture people's souls, control their thoughts, and make those who are affected by the Soul Devouring Technique like puppets, obeying the commands of the caster.

The Soul Devouring Technique is divided into five levels. The higher the level, the more obedient the person becomes, making them completely at her disposal.

Of course, this is also related to a person's will or mental strength.

For those with weak willpower, even a level three or lower Soul Devouring Technique might be enough to turn them into a complete puppet.

However, for those with unwavering will, a higher level of Soul Devouring Technique is required.

Level 1 Soul Devouring Technique only allows temporary control over a person's mind; it's still possible to ask them questions.

Ziyue looked at the introduction of the Soul Devouring Technique with great interest. This was even more hypnotic than hypnosis. It was much more effective than brainwashing people and could make them tell the truth. It would make interrogating enemies much easier.

But for her, it's also a bit of a waste.

Compared to others in ordinary small worlds, her soul is incredibly powerful. She could easily use her mental strength to control several ordinary people.

However, after checking the price, which only required 500 points, Ziyue placed an order without hesitation. After clicking to use it, she could directly use the Soul Devouring Technique.

Anyway, she doesn't lack points. Points are earned to be spent. If something happens to her one day and she dies without having spent all her points, she will die with regrets!

Therefore, she is willing to pay for skills that interest her.

That night, the same night the original owner was ambushed and killed, the 10,000 personal guards stopped to rest.

While the army was setting up camp, Ziyue quietly left the camp and appeared like a ghost behind the ambush group of twenty people.

Ziyue released her spiritual power and quickly controlled everyone. She killed the two people who had successfully ambushed and killed the original owner in the original story, which could be considered a small revenge.

Ziyue decided to control the remaining eighteen people and turn them to her own use. It would be a waste to make use of them; it would be a pity if they died.

Because these people were trained assassins with unwavering will, Ziyue directly used the highest level of Soul Devouring Technique on each of them, thus controlling the remaining eighteen people.

Once everyone regained their senses, upon seeing the person before them, they immediately knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Master!"

"Ah."

Through Xiao Jiu'er, she already knew where these people came from.

"You shall immediately return to Shiyang Kingdom and report to its ruler. Qing Ziyue was too cautious; there was no way to proceed, and the assassination attempt failed. From now on, you shall remain by the side of the ruler of Shiyang Kingdom, and promptly relay any actions of Shiyang Kingdom to me. Alright, you may leave."

"Yes, Master." With that, the eighteen men in black disappeared into the thick, dark night in the blink of an eye.

Ziyue quietly returned to her tent...
