Chapter 789: The Life of a Benefactor
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Back then, because of a bug, the system wrongly judged Xie Changting to be an innocent supporting actress and chose her to transmigrate into space and time to resolve the situation.
It caused Ah Yu to die accidentally at the age of 16.
This had already happened. In principle, Ah Yu was the fated star of this planet at this stage. The death surrounding her would cause chaos on the planet for a long time.
Hence, the planet saved itself. Its weak consciousness transmigrated through layers of spacetime and arrived at the Space Source Pocket where Meatbail was, waking it up.
Meatbail sensed its ward, so it crossed the obstacle and came over. However, because the order here had yet to be restored when it came, it fell into a short slumber and even allowed the energy in its spatial pocket to be picked up.
When Meatball came, it was considered All Yu’s second life.
In the rules of the universe, everyone had a second life. However, they would be stripped of their memories, which was equivalent to walking the same path again.
Almost everyone would have a similar ending as in their first life. Only those who were very good or extremely evil might have deviations.
If a person dies earlier in their second life than in their first life, they will be disqualified as a human, relegated to livestock, or moved to a lower-latitude planet.
This was also what Meatball had learned in the system world. However, because it did not involve Ah Yu much, it did not study the specifics carefully.
The System World was a high-latitude world that controlled a certain amount of order. Above the System World, there was still order to manage the world. The Origin Space was the highest latitude existence. It did not govern any world, but it would protect all the worlds.
Under normal circumstances, the existences in the Origin Space would not interfere with the development of other worlds.
Except for those related to the target they were guarding.
“So you’re saying that the System did something wrong back then and was originally going to be destroyed, but you bought it and asked it to help me?” Ah Yu skipped those complicated things and only asked the part that interested her.
[Yes, it’s a farming system now. To be precise, it’s a farming textbook. Don’t you want to teach everyone how to farm here? With it, you don’t have to do it yourself. It will help you settle it.]
“Can others see it?”
[Don’t worry, before this system’s intelligence was wiped out, it exchanged for a human body for itself. That body is in this world. If we activate that body, we can use it. The body prepared by the system is even better than the one we exchanged with astronomical points because it will automatically link to the current world…]
After talking for a long time, Meatbail turned around and realized that Ah Yu had already turned around to do something else.
After it finished speaking, Ah Yu nodded. “Yes, yes, yes, I understand!”
[…] The child had grown up and despised it.
“Elf, 1 knew you were the best!” All Yu tidied up the information in her hand and handed it to Tang Yuan, who was waiting at the side, asking her to send it to City Lord Wan as soon as possible.
After doing this, All Yu stretched and entered her spatial pocket with her mind. She picked up the furry meatball and kissed it fiercely.
“Elf, you’re the best,” she repeated.
Then, she fell asleep standing up.
During this period of time, All Yu was indeed too tired. No matter what, she was only a child under the age of 12.
The surrounding people treated her as an unparalleled genius and placed all the burdens on her. Now, even half of the operations of the entire Jiangsai City depended on her.
In just a few months, she had done something that others could not finish in a few years. How could she not be tired?
If not for the spatial pocket and the fact that Meatbail wanted to develop nutrient fluids and spirit spring water of different flavors every day to let her drink, she would have long fallen sick from exhaustion.
[Kid, don’t sleep here. You’ll catch a cold!] Meatbail moved All Yu’s consciousness to the bed.
However, Ah Yu’s body was still sitting on the chair outside.
The sky was getting darker and darker. The night in Jiangsai City was especially cold. It was definitely impossible to fall asleep like this.
Fortunately, Chi Gou arrived very quickly. When he saw that Ah Yu was asleep, she carried her to her room without a word. She brought her some water and wiped her hands and face. She also gently wiped her feet before covering her with the blanket.
A maidservant came in with clean clothes. When she saw what Chi Gou had done, she said enviously, “Benefactors indeed have precious lives.”
Although she thought so, her movements were extremely gentle, afraid that she would wake up the girl sleeping soundly on the bed.
Chi Gou took the clothes. “Go out. 1’11 handle the rest here.”
“Yes.” The maidservant retreated to the door and asked, “Big Sister Chi Gou, do you still want to go to the hall to eat tonight?”
“No, you guys eat.”
Chi Tu and the others had all been sent out by All Yu. Fifth Young Master and King Xiaoyao were not here. Tang Yuan had also gone to do some work. There was no one guarding Ah Yu. She would never leave.
After the maidservant left, Chi Gou casually found a stool and sat down, looking at Ah Yu eagerly.
She liked this little master more and more.
She was clearly a different person from their Young Master.
The Young Master would never rack his brains for outsiders like this.
Ah Yu slept until noon the next day. When she woke up, a group of people was guarding the bed and staring at her.
Ah Yu was shocked by this scene. “What’s wrong? Do 1 have a terminal illness? Why are you all looking at me like that?”
“Pfft, pfft, pfft! What are you talking about? Spit it out!” Tang Yuan slapped her mouth and hurriedly went forward to help All Yu tidy up her clothes. “Little Master, you can’t say that.”
Ah Yu: “What’s the matter?”
Chi Gou said, “1 originally thought that we would have to investigate for a few more days, but after entering the water last night, we gained something.”
“Is it very serious?” Ah Yu knew from Chi Tu’s expression that the matter might be more serious than she thought.
“Yes, Miss Ah Yu, do you know why Jiangsai City is named thus?”
“It’s because the river flows everywhere.”
“That’s right. It’s not just the river water on the ground. The groundwater is also very abundant, but the water here is turbid all year round and is poisonous. It’s very difficult for people who aren’t born and raised here to completely remove the poison. Therefore, every month, no, every day, people die from water poisoning.” Chi Tu continued, “However, after so many people died, we didn’t see too many graves. It wasn’t until we dived yesterday that we realized that there were corpses everywhere under Jiangsai City!”
Ah Yu: “What?!”
Ordinary people could only dive about ten meters into the water. The deeper they went, the more poisonous the water would be. It would corrode their skin.
Ah Yu gave them something to protect them. They tied a rope to themselves and dived about a hundred meters before realizing that the water 30 meters below was especially clear and could be seen.
“After going down to 50 to 60 meters, we saw layers of corpses!” Even the secret guard, who was used to seeing dead people, Chi Gou could not take it anymore. “There are all kinds of underwater fish and insects parasitizing those corpses. Strands of black water floated out of the corpses in the water like thin threads. When they rose to the shallow water, they formed the water quality we saw today.”
When he heard this, the first person who could not take it was actually Xie Zhen, who had just walked to the door and was about to report.
Urgh!”
This morning, he had even washed his favorite set of clothes with the water from the river..
