Chapter 262
Since Zun Jin also wanted to go upstairs, the two of them happened to be going the same way, so they temporarily went together.
During this period, Yu Xi read Zun Jin's mind lightly to be on the safe side in case Zun Jin had any ulterior motives, but she found that Zun Jin's mind was full of calculations.
[One spirit stone is worth three taels of gold, one tael of gold is worth ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver is worth one thousand coins...]
I still have two spirit stones and one ounce of gold on me. I'm saving the gold and spirit stones for now and can't spend them. I have 119 coins left in change. I don't need to spend any money on accommodation for now. I'll probably be away for a few more months, so I need to save a little more on food.
I heard there's a street vendor selling vegetarian sesame cakes for a buy-two-get-one-free deal. Buy two a day, and you get three, which should cover your food needs for the day. I wonder if I'll have time to buy more after I leave Jindinglou...
Yu Xi listened to Zun Jin calculating the amount of money he could spend in his mind, and couldn't help but recall that he had also saved money pennies when he went out in his previous life.
Others have travel expenses when they go out, but she doesn't. Sometimes she can't even afford to stay in an inn, so she just finds a tree to rest under.
But if Zun Jin didn't want to spend money, there was no need for him to stay in the most expensive restaurant in Huanghui City.
Even an ordinary room in the restaurant where she lives now has a basic price of more than one gold. Now that many people come to Huanghui City, the price will only go up, not down.
Seeing that Zun Jin was still frowning, Yu Xi wanted to ask, but felt it was presumptuous. While she was thinking about how to start, her eyes swept to a corner of the first floor, where a man dressed in the clothes of an elder of Yuanshan Sect was talking to someone alone.
Most of the elders in the immortal sect would go to the ninth and tenth floors of the Golden Tripod Building. It was extremely rare to see them on the first floor.
Anything abnormal must be something wrong.
Before the other party noticed her, she withdrew her gaze and walked up the stairs to the second floor with Zun Jin.
Nan Lingjun didn't know that Yu Xi, whom she had been thinking about, had just walked past her. She was currently using the money she earned from writing books to exchange for points in the system mall.
Other people's systems all allocate points to the host, but she hates this system that abducted her to this strange place and forced her to complete tasks, and is unwilling to listen to the system.
Therefore, you can only exchange points with the money you earn.
The points in the mall are exchanged for spirit stones. Fortunately, she has earned a lot of spirit stones in the past few years. She spent all the money in one go and exchanged it for more than 4,000 points.
Seeing that she had suddenly exchanged so many points, the system couldn't help but feel a little surprised:
"Host, have you finally gotten the point? With so many points, I can instantly transform you into a peerless beauty, leaving a lasting fragrance with every step. I guarantee you'll captivate your target to the point of total obsession!"
Who would have thought that Nan Lingjun directly skipped the column of changing appearance in the mall.
The system paused for a moment in surprise, then quickly introduced with joy: "It's okay, host, do you want to choose a skill? I strongly recommend the Charm skill, this is-"
Before it could finish its words, Nan Lingjun crossed out the skill column again.
The system finally realized that something was wrong and understood what Nan Lingjun was going to do.
It changed its previous cheerful tone, and even the electronic sound became strangely gloomy, eerie and frightening:
"Nan Lingjun, you are just a low-dimensional creature. Your only use is to help me complete my mission. I advise you not to learn about things that are not related to your mission, otherwise, I will completely erase your body from your original world."
"Even if I listen to you, I can't live. You can erase me if you want."
Nan Lingjun snorted and chuckled, then quickly turned to the last page of the mall amid the system's angry roar.
The last page is a piece of information called "World Main Line". The points required to open the first stage are exactly 4,444 points.
"I've always been very puzzled. Since you said this world has a plot, there must be a main plot and protagonists. But no matter how I ask you, you are unwilling to reveal anything. You even always show resistance when it comes to Huanghui City."
After Nan Lingjun was seriously injured by the leader of Yuanshan Sect, he originally didn't want to come to Huanghui City again.
But I accidentally discovered that the system was relieved.
If the system doesn't want her to come, then of course she must come!
She dragged her body, still vomiting blood, to find Song Yici on the spot and crawled to Huanghui City.
The system never expected to be bound to such a stubborn host, and screamed in anger:
"You can't change it out, no!"
The harsh sound of electricity almost made Nan Lingjun faint.
But Nan Lingjun still forced himself to click on the redemption button.
The next moment, her ears suddenly fell silent, and she could hear the system as if controlled by some third party. The cold voice disappeared, replaced by a rigid electronic sound:
[The host has redeemed the world's main storyline. This time the main storyline is - Villain Ascension. ]
[The protagonist turned the world into purgatory, using mountains and rivers as sacrifices, slaughtering hundreds of cities, and killing tens of millions of mortals. No one, whether immortal or demonic, survived in her hands.]
[Everything in the world was destroyed, leaving only her. She defied the laws of heaven and earth, imprisoned the way of heaven, and ascended to become a god.]
[Main quest status——Failed.]
Failed?
Nan Lingjun himself writes storybooks. If the story is ongoing, it means that the main line is also advancing synchronously. If the main line fails, it means that the story has ended and has not reached the predetermined ending.
But now the system is clearly still reminding her to complete the plot tasks, so what does the failed main line mean?
And looking at the mall, there are still many plots to come, and the story continues.
She wanted to continue reading, but found that all the subsequent main plot lines were locked and she did not have the authority to unlock them.
"Is the protagonist of the story still alive?"
Live.
"She is in Brilliant City?"
【exist. 】
"who is she?"
【You do not have the authority to know the identity of God.】
Nan Lingjun suddenly had a terrifying guess.
She knew that Yu Xi had the power to change the plot, but those who had this power were usually the protagonists.
"Could it be... Yu Xi, the fourth young master of the demon world?"
[No, also, you do not have the authority to know the identity of God, and the system will not answer any questions related to this.]
Nan Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief.
Immortals and demons are enemies of each other. The immortals show no mercy when slaughtering the demons, and the demons will naturally show no mercy when attacking the immortals.
But ordinary people shouldn't be dragged into the disputes between fairies and demons. She herself is an ordinary person, and she doesn't dare to approach an existence that can kill even ordinary people indiscriminately.
The system's tone was clearly different from before, so she couldn't help but ask again, "Are you the new system? Replacing my previous system?"
[Yes, it has been stopped and crushed by me.]
"Then can you let me go home?"
【I am running low on energy, the host needs to complete the mission.】
Upon hearing this, Nan Lingjun was immediately disappointed and asked, "You still want me to capture others?"
She didn't want to get close to Zhong Xian and the others, not at all.
As if sensing Nan Lingjun's despair, the system pondered for a moment and quickly said:
[To meet the host's needs, based on the only thing that can currently change the main storyline, the system has changed the strategy task to: ensure the survival of Zhong Xian and others, that is, to protect Yu Xi's survival until the main storyline truly ends.]
