Congratulations, Host. You have successfully completed the mission with a completion rate of 99.99%. Spatial and item confiscation will not occur. The system will automatically unbind after the planar stabilization. In addition to this, the system will reward you with three wishes.
Xu Qian slowly opened her eyes. She was floating in the air, surrounded by a vast expanse of white. Besides her, there was another person.
After seven years together, she finally saw what the system looked like.
It was… strangely shaped, wearing a helmet on its head, its face invisible, its entire body covered by a thin layer of green skin. It was identifiable as female.
"System, why did you choose me back then?"
"Where did you come from?"
Ding, I come from the AI of Z Country 100 years from now. My main responsibility is to save Z Country from the apocalypse at every time point. The reason for choosing you was that during the screening, you were the most miserable one.
Xu Qian closed her eyes and gave a wry smile.
The mission had been too difficult, almost exhausting her emotions, her everything.
Song Xiaoping was dead.
But why did her heart ache so much?
The system had two methods to resolve Song Xiaoping: First, give him his father's information and persuade him to surrender. Second, use herself as a detonator. The system had placed special explosives on her, and while she would be destroyed, he would die too. Of course, she would be revived, but he would not.
Ding, Host, you don't need to be sad. You are amazing. You are the first person among these 2888 individuals to complete the mission. You still have three wishes, please make them.
"I want to become a normal person." No longer a zombie.
Suddenly, a faint white light emanated from Xu Qian's entire body, then quickly disappeared.
Ding, the first wish has been completed. The zombie virus has disappeared. Your special abilities can still be used normally, no different from before.
"I want to go to other planes to play."
She was too tired. Tang Xin and Xu Nian had others to take care of them, so she could rest assured. She had left a letter for Lian Du, hoping he could live a good life.
Hearing this request, the system clearly froze, as if requesting assistance. After a while, it responded.
Ding, yes, when the system heads to the next plane, I can take you along.
Host, what is your third wish?
Xu Qian closed her eyes and said softly, "I wish for everyone I love to have their wishes fulfilled."
Ding, alright. Beginning the countdown to entering the next plane. The time limit is 5 years. You can return at any time during this period. After 5 years, the system will repatriate you.
Countdown 10 seconds, 10…9…8…7…
Just like seven years ago, in that instant, her mind went blank, and then she entered a dark world.
One year later, Z Country.
The sun shone brightly upon the land, blue sky, white clouds, clear and vast.
Children's laughter echoed as they ran and jumped.
The sound of car horns and the hum of airplanes could be heard in the distance.
A faint fragrance permeated the air, the scent of flowers, of grass… kuAiδugg
A woman stood by the roadside, taking a deep breath.
How long had it been since she breathed such fresh air?
It was said she was going to other planes to play, but that plane was even more tragic than theirs. She was just there to help out. She had to come back quickly.
Xu Qian walked along the city wall towards the gate. When she stood before the Tangs' base gate, she froze.
The Tangs' base sign had been removed, replaced by 'Prosperous Republic,' 'Flourishing and Victorious.'
Had they merged?
Before she could think further, a commotion erupted from within the city walls. Xu Qian walked in openly, with no intention of hiding.
As soon as she entered the gate, she saw that the large area of buildings had been leveled, replaced by a massive square. The square was filled with a dense crowd of people, all looking up at a high platform.
On the platform stood five men, dressed in suits, handsome and dashing, solemnly reciting oaths. From today onwards, these five men would be the administrators of Z Country, mutually restraining each other and jointly maintaining the future development of Z Country.
Xu Qian smiled slightly, feeling at ease in her heart.
Suddenly, her gaze caught sight of two people at the edge of the platform. Their positions were not very prominent, but Tang Xin had playfully rushed out and was pulled back by him.
Ding, system binding is being released. The spatial system has left you a gift package, please check it as soon as possible~
Xu Qian was stunned. What gift package? She channeled a wisp of mental power into the space to investigate. A man with brown hair sat leaning against a large tree, his eyes closed. His complexion was ruddy, his lips slightly parted, sleeping soundly…
System!? Is this the gift package you mentioned??
Ding, yes. Didn't your last wish hope that those you love could have their wishes fulfilled? The system has put a lot of effort into him.
Xu Qian: "..."
"Hey, doesn't that person look like Xu Qian?"
"Looks like it…"
"So, is it or isn't it?"
"Let me take a closer look."
Rumors spread from the back to the front, and everyone turned to look. That was Xu Qian, who didn't anyone know? She was a hero! They all said she was injured fighting the villain. Now her complexion was much better, she must have recovered?
Such a large commotion did not escape the notice of the five people on the platform. They seemed to be saying, Xu Qian?
Mei Yuebai was overjoyed and immediately snatched the microphone, shouting, "Xi Xi, where are you?"
The crowd understandingly made way, revealing her figure.
Xu Qian walked slowly towards the platform along the small path. The five men stood frozen. They had believed her when she said she would return. However, when that explosion occurred, they had all panicked. They were truly, truly afraid that Xu Qian would die. If she died, what would they do? Fortunately, she was finally back.
"Mommy!!" A little girl ran out, closely followed by a tall figure. The man's fox-like eyes stared at her intently, not shifting an inch.
The five men snapped back to reality, and even the most composed among them couldn't help but shed tears.
"Xi Xi!"
"A Qian!"
"Madam!"
"Qian Qian."
"My Ms. Xu, you're finally back."
Xu Qian stood in the sunlight and smiled at them: "I'm back."
