One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 234:
Chapter 234: Chapter 211 Small World
The Sphere hesitated for a moment and said, “I apologize. My ranking is only 1776, and I am unable to inquire about the task executors with higher rankings.”
Gu Yan looked at the Sphere, and as he watched, he started to laugh.
After laughing for a while, he began to cry.
He didn’t know how long it had been since he had laughed, or how long since he had cried.
At this moment, he just wanted to let everything out.
He thought.
If someone like him could get the chance to become a task executor,
then surely Ye Xiao could as well.
Perhaps!
She had already become a true task executor even earlier on.
So now, her ranking must be much higher than his own.
Number 1776, this was probably the lowest ranking.
From what the Sphere implied, as long as his ranking went up, he would be able to look up the systems with lower rankings than his.
Although surpassing Xiaoxiao would be very, very difficult.
But.
No matter how difficult, he had to try.
“May I ask if you are willing to bind with this system?” 1776 continued to inquire.
Gu Yan’s eyes shone remarkably as he said word by word, “I am willing.”
The voice of 1776 became cheerful, “Congratulations to the host for making the right decision. From now on, this system will lead the host through the endless minor worlds, to save one collapsing world after another, changing the destinies of countless people. The better the host performs, the better the rewards the system will receive, and if we manage to become 001, we could even become immortal deities.”
Task executor.
Traveling through the endless minor worlds.
Saving collapsing worlds.
Changing the destinies of countless people.
Even the possibility to become deities.
The words of 1776 were full of enticement.
Gu Yan didn’t care about those, his gaze was especially calm.
Traveling through endless minor worlds?
That’s great.
He believed that one day,
through countless journeys, he would reunite with her.
His once dim life, at this moment, brightened up once again.
Gu Yan said calmly, “Then, please start with the first mission world.”
Chen’an Country.
Taiyuan Year Seven. Marquis Valiant Residence.
Today, the citizens of Beijing are discussing a rare event.
“What do you think, is this true or false? Is Gu Changze from the Marquis Valiant Residence really going to marry a courtesan?”
“How could it be false? The bridal sedan chair will pass by soon!”
“A woman of such background, if taken discreetly as a concubine, would not stir much talk, but he has to make such a big fuss out of it. Isn’t this slapping his own wife in the face?”
“Exactly. Just wait and watch the drama unfold.”
On the street, Gu Changze rode a tall horse, followed by a few people carrying a red bridal sedan chair.
Amid the onlookers’ excitement, the bridal sedan chair stopped at the grand entrance of Marquis Valiant Residence.
“Mother, in this life, I will marry only Qingqing. This time, you have to give us your blessing no matter what,” Gu Changze said as he led Liu Qingqing down from the bridal sedan chair, then looked determinedly at Ye Qingrong.
His father, Marquis Valiant, with distinguished military achievements, had fallen ill from the constant handling of military affairs, and one day he collapsed. He had been in a coma for three years and had not woken up since.
Marquis Valiant and his wife Ye Qingrong had a son and a daughter. Gu Changze was the Marquis’s only son, and this was precisely where his confidence came from.
No matter how preposterous, how rebellious he was, what did it matter?
Considering his father’s military merits, considering he is the only child of his father!
Who could do anything against him, right?
Anyway, today, Qingqing was determined to have him.
This moment.
Ye Qingrong, watched by Gu Changze, couldn’t help but rub her temples.
She didn’t pay attention to this char siu for now, instead, as before, she quickly accepted the plot.
Her real name is Ye Xiao, while Ye Qingrong is her name in this small world.
Previously.
After completing the task, the system gave Ye Xiao a third option.
The third option.
“You can choose to bind yourself completely to the system and become a task executor who travels through small worlds. From then on, you travel through endless worlds, and you might even obtain eternal life. As for the real Ye Xiao, you can freely choose whether to return to this small world or not.”
“Ye Xiao, please make your choice.”
As soon as this third option was presented, Ye Xiao couldn’t even see the other two options.
In her original world, she had no significant attachments anyway.
Moreover, as an actor, traveling to different small worlds, playing different roles, that’s what being a true superstar actor is all about!
Ye Xiao herself loved excitement and adventure.
Without hesitation, she made her choice.
“I choose the third option, to become a task executor.”
“Host has made a selection, will now guide the host to launch the second small world.”
Ye Xiao was bound to this Modify-Text System.
After leaving that world, she traveled through three different small worlds, and successfully completed the tasks in each.
Because she did so quickly and well, the Modify-Text System’s ranking has risen to number 108. Completing another task would get her into the top one hundred.
But Ye Xiao’s goal was always to be number one.
She thought somewhat chuunibyou-like: One day, she would take her Modify-Text System to the top, to be the first.
By then, she herself might well be no different from a deity.
The world at hand is the fourth small world Ye Xiao has traveled to.
Ye Xiao quickly accepted the plot, and then, couldn’t help but roll her eyes dramatically.
The plot of this small world… was outrageously melodramatic.
This was an ancient world where the male lead was her “zombie” husband lying on the bed, Gu Xu!
Gu Xu fell into a coma due to overexertion, and the court, recognizing his contributions, treated Marquis Valiant Residence with great generosity. Ye Qingrong, as the wife of Marquis Valiant, also received various accolades as a result.
Before Gu Xu fell into the coma, they had one son and one daughter.
Ye Qingrong’s greatest wish was to educate these two children well, to at least not let down her husband.
But.
Neither of these children was particularly easy to manage.
The elder son Gu Changze, as everyone has seen, is a fool set on marrying a courtesan in a grand manner.
The daughter Gu Shu was also no better; she was currently looking at Gu Changze and the courtesan female lead’s interaction with a touched expression, thinking their true love very moving.
As for whether her legitimate sister-in-law was pitiable, she never considered it at all.
This was quite normal, for Gu Shu was also love-struck; later, she desperately wanted to marry a poor scholar, and when Ye Qingrong disagreed, she even eloped with the scholar.
In the plot, faced with this pair of children, Ye Qingrong naturally tried to discipline them, but the more she did, the more they rebelled against her, even accusing her of not understanding love.
Latter. Ye Qingrong was directly angered to death by these two children, and Marquis Valiant Residence faced much censure, on the verge of collapse.
After Ye Qingrong’s death, the female protagonist appeared.
The female protagonist was a woman who had traveled from another world. She was adept in medicine and acupuncture and became well-known in Beijing, so she was brought to try and treat the male protagonist.
As it turned out, the female protagonist with her golden fingers was extraordinary indeed, and the male protagonist was revived.
The male protagonist took the reins again, decisively dealt with this pair of foolish children, and afterwards, developed feelings for the female lead during their interactions. The two of them got together and had new children, leading a happy and fulfilling life as a family.
As for Ye Qingrong, she was nothing but an ultimate cannon fodder who didn’t even exist before the start of the official storyline.
“Host, in this small world, there are two tasks you need to accomplish: First, it is Ye Qingrong’s resentment that led the host to come here; the host has to dispel Ye Qingrong’s resentment and give her a happy and fulfilling life. Second, the female lead has a medical golden finger that surpasses the times; the host needs to take back the golden finger.”
