Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

After arriving in the system space, Jiao Xing discovered that she was in a soul state with a layer of gray thread wrapped around her body.

"How is this going?"

She stretched out her hand and scratched it, but didn't feel anything.

Although it's not painful or itchy, I still feel a little ominous when I see this layer of gray mist covering my snow-white skin.

The system space flickered, seemingly looking down on Jiao Xing's stupidity, and gave the answer.

[This is the effect of the hydrangea of ​​cause and effect, a magic weapon used to isolate cause and effect. 】

After hearing the system's answer, Jiao Xing remembered that Jia Shifei had indeed given her something like this before, saying it was to repay a favor.

Originally she trusted him 70%, but because of what happened later, she felt that he was not a good person.

"Is this thing harmful to me?"

Jiao Xing suddenly remembered what her family had taught her in her previous life, not to randomly collect things from strangers, but she didn't listen. Wouldn't that be a bad thing?

[Harmless, good for you. 】

As the system spoke, it projected the effect of the causal hydrangea.

It turns out that this is a kind of barrier refined by gods using cause and effect. After using it, you can travel without being disturbed by cause and effect.

Immortals are special existences that are different from ordinary humans after successful cultivation. It can also be said to be the evolutionary direction of a species.

But this does not mean that nothing will happen after becoming gods and immortals. They still have to upgrade.

To upgrade as a god, you need to go to the world of mortals to experience it.

Everyone knows that if you experience in the world of mortals, it is easy to be contaminated by cause and effect.

There have been cases in the past where people who had become gods and immortals had to descend to earth to resolve the cause and effect.

Bai Suzhen in "The Legend of White Snake" is one of the examples. She originally only needed to repay a favor to a little shepherd boy, but in the end, other karma and karma occurred after she agreed with her body.

If Guanyin Bodhisattva hadn't guided Fahai to rescue her and imprisoned her in the Lei Feng Pagoda early, she might have fallen into reincarnation again after being entangled in karma.

Therefore, the gods all regard the cause and effect as poison.

But if you want to upgrade further, you have to go to the world of mortals to gain experience. What should you do? There is a powerful person who thinks reversely and refines this causal magic weapon based on cause and effect.

This may also be the reason why Jia Shifei left quickly. After all, if he stayed for a long time, he might get into an accident.

After knowing that Jia Shifei was not evading on purpose, Jiao Xing felt much more at ease.

Just don’t harm yourself intentionally.

She didn't want to think too badly of this person. If she met someone in the world who harmed others for no reason, she would always feel uneasy.

It’s too tiring to be wary of others all the time.

Now that she is relieved, Jiao Xing doesn't care about the gray and ominous color. Just pretend that your naked soul is wearing a gray dress, so you won't feel scared anymore.

She remembered what Jia Shifei said and became curious about the system.

"System, what kind of existence are you?"

【…】

The system didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but it felt that this was a good opportunity to enhance understanding and mutual trust, so it explained it to her carefully.

[Host, the system is the same living entity as the host. It’s just that life manifests itself differently and growth methods are different. But there is no harm to the host. 】

"Then why don't you send me home?" He also bought and sold me by force, binding himself.

The system explained: [As a new body, the system can only contract one soul with its initial power. If it fails, the system will die. 】

[After the host agreed to sign the contract, we have formed a companionship. Only when I grow up can I be able to let you go. 】

[But the host defaulted for the first time, and the system did not grow. Not only that, it also seriously damaged the health of the system. Under such circumstances, how can we send the host back? 】

Jiao Xing seemed to hear its grievances, and couldn't help but imagine the aggrieved baby in her mind. My heart couldn't help but feel soft.

"Well, it's my fault. I didn't trust you. But there's something wrong with the time of the contract you signed with me! How can you sign an agreement when someone is asleep? This is a scam for humans. This contract won’t count!”

【…】

[The system doesn’t know, the system was just born. The host suggestion has been received and the system will correct it. 】

Jiao Xing was speechless, her feelings came first and were in the running-in period.

"Then the person we met, that Jia Shifei, is the same?"

[The other party's system is a higher level, and the system cannot scan it and cannot determine it. 】

"Then the monk we met before was like this?" Jiao Xing couldn't help but think of the immortal she met when she was Lin Daiyu in her first life.

[No, that is another kind of life form. It is a kind of life form that may be produced after the host upgrades. 】

"Can He touch you?"

[Yes, the me in his eyes and the me in the host's eyes are different. He can touch. 】

Jiao Xing's curiosity was satisfied and she was almost rested.

She began to ask with interest about the results of this performance.

[The system determines that the task is qualified and issues 200 points. 】

[Due to the epiphany during the mission, the soul has been improved. Bonus points: 500 points]

[The host currently has a total score of 2800 points. 】

[There are still 200 points left before the system mall can be opened. Host, please continue to work hard. 】

"Are you wrong? Didn't I open a live broadcast room before and earn a lot of points?"

Jiao Xing suspects that the system is fooling her. Don’t think that college students can’t count!

[The points earned from opening the live broadcast room and the live broadcast room have been offset. And it is a low-end disposable item. To open a mid-range live broadcast room, you need to spend 5000 points. 】

"What? The system is so dark! Why didn't you tell me before?"

[The host didn’t ask before, so it’s not a system problem. If insulting words are used again, the system will have the right to charge compensation and deduct all points. 】

"I, uh..."

Jiao Xing felt extremely aggrieved, but she still couldn't express her feelings. If there are really no points, it will be just like there are no plug-ins, and there will be no sense of security in time travel.

"Then tell me how you got these two thousand and eighty dollars?"

Jiao Xing felt particularly aggrieved. This is like working hard for more than ten years and having only two thousand in savings. How can this not make people upset?

[The soul survives for 1500 points, the commission for completing system tasks is 800 points, and the upgrade reward is 500 points. 】

Jiao Xing looked at this line of words as if she were seeing a pay slip. It's really useless to keep it and it's a pity to throw it away. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and I decided to travel through it earlier. This system space was too depressing.

[The system has determined that it is easier for the host to understand the parasite in the world of Red Mansions if it is an immersive experience of life. It is recommended that the host seals the memory and then unlocks it when necessary. 】

With her first life experience, she doesn't object to this suggestion now. After careful consideration, I decided to agree to the system's proposal.

Through Jia Shifei's incident, her trust in the system has also increased.

"Yes, but you must return it to me when I need it. And when I have not recovered my memory, it cannot be considered my fault if something goes wrong in what I do."

【Can. The system prefers to grow and progress with the host. 】

[Please prepare the host, the delivery will begin. 】

The white light shrouded Jiao Xing's soul, and she suddenly felt a warmth similar to that in her mother's arms. I couldn't help but close my eyes and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she knew that she was called Zhi'er.

"Well, mother..."
