"Ding! A soul suitable for binding has been detected. Would you like to bind with the system?"
Hearing this strange mechanical voice, Lin Qingxue no longer had time to look at her own fallen body. She immediately replied anxiously,"Yes, yes! Bind immediately!"
Given her current situation, she had nothing left to lose. If binding this system offered even a sliver of hope, she was taking it.
System binding in progress...After a few seconds, the system spoke again:"Unlucky host, hello. After analysis, your bad luck is highly compatible with the task targets we will be assisting in the future. You are now officially bound to the system. You'll need to accumulate points in the upcoming task worlds in order to revive."
Hearing this, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but recall her 23 years of bad luck:If she didn't bring an umbrella, it would rain.Her sandwich would always be missing the filling.She'd regularly step in animal poop on the sidewalk...
Stuff like that had followed her all her life. She sometimes wondered if she had offended some God of Misfortune. It was like the Ancestor of Misfortune had personally opened the door for her.
Originally, today had started off great. She'd just gotten her paycheck and went to the market after work to buy a fish, to celebrate the rare event of having a day with no misfortune.
She'd even gone out of her way to make her favorite dish: Lin-style grilled fish.But just as she was excitedly picking up her first bite — BAM — a fish bone got stuck in her throat.
It wasn't even a big bone, but it was stubbornly stuck in just the right place: not up, not down, and completely blocking her airway. Rice didn't help. Coughing didn't help…
Her breathing grew weaker and weaker. Her pupils lost their shine. Lin Qingxue knew — she wasn't going to make it.
But she was not ready to die.What a humiliating way to go! She could already imagine tomorrow's headlines:
"Young woman tragically chokes to death on fishbone in rental apartment."
Just as she was about to accept her fate and quietly welcome death... she unexpectedly encountered the legendary system.
I've been unlucky my whole life, Lin Qingxue thought. Maybe this is finally a rebound moment.So she swore she would seize this chance tightly.
The system noticed its unfortunate host was silent for a bit, but it didn't wait long. After all, it was the most impatient one in the whole Quick Transmigration Bureau.
"In each mission world," the system began, "aside from the Child of Destiny, there are many cannon-fodder female side characters full of resentment. Your job is to complete their tasks and eliminate their grievances. For each successful task, you'll earn points."
"System," Lin Qingxue asked, "You said I need to collect enough points to revive. How many exactly? And when I revive, will it be in my original body?"
"Host, you need about 19 million points to revive — depending on the ratings you receive from your mission targets.You can choose to revive in your original body, but the system will charge 100,000 points as a body preservation fee."
Lin Qingxue thought it over carefully. She still preferred her own body.Using someone else's just felt... weird.
That meant she needed to earn more points.Luckily, she'd been through hardship her whole life and had even learned some martial arts for self-defense — a little confidence boost for future missions.
"Wait, I have more questions. Will the worlds I enter be random? And how are the mission ratings determined?" she asked.
"At first, you won't be able to choose your missions. Once you reach 500,000 points, you'll be allowed to pick.Mission ratings are divided as follows:
Beginner – 30,000 points
Intermediate – 50,000 points
Advanced – 200,000 points"
"Also, if you find any rare treasures or valuable items in the mission worlds, you can trade them with the system for points."
So basically, doing missions meant entering a grind-fest.Work hard, earn more, and revive sooner. Lin Qingxue noted all this mentally.
She didn't dwell too long, though. She had one more very important question:
"Dear system... is there a newbie gift package?"
"Don't even think about it. That's only in novels. Our official Quick Transmigration System doesn't come with cheats.We follow a strict 'self-reliance and survival of the fittest' policy. So don't expect something for nothing."
"System, I still have more questions…"
The system: Never seen a host with so many questions. I need to get her out of here fast so she won't bother me while I'm chatting with the other system ladies. If I miss my 120th blind date because of her, that's it — I'm doomed to be a single system forever!
Just as Lin Qingxue was about to ask her next question, the system directly teleported her into a mission room — empty except for a plain bed.
There, she met her first mission target — Xie Lingruo.Her clothes were torn, her body bruised, and though she looked pitiful, her beauty still shone through.
Seeing her, Lin Qingxue immediately turned on her fake customer-service smile:
"Hi there, beautiful. Please tell me your wishes — I'm here to help."
Xie Lingruo looked at her and said in a hoarse but firm voice:
"I want you to take care of my family, and make sure they live happily.Second, I want revenge. Send the people who hurt me to hell.The more you do for me, the more points I'll give you."
Lin Qingxue quickly promised,
"No problem. I'll definitely leave you satisfied."
After all, she was someone who did everything for profit.If anyone dared get in the way of her missions, she'd show them why the flowers bloom so red.
No matter the challenges ahead, Lin Qingxue would push through.Whoever blocked her path to points — Buddha or not — would be cut down.
Once their soul exchange was complete, the system didn't waste time with small talk — it directly transmitted her into the first mission world.
