Chapter 161: Scamp of 160 Cities (1) Four More
"008, tell me, has anyone ever really completed their tasks and been reborn?"
Inside the System Space, Ye Shaohua found she wasn’t immediately moving on to her next task, and couldn’t help but silently look towards 008.
Upon hearing this, 008 also fell silent.
After a long while, it spat out a number, "Since our emergence, there have been a total of nineteen thousand taskers, all of whom we painstakingly selected. Without exception, these people either became lost in their task worlds or failed to complete their tasks and were destroyed by the system. The success rate is almost zero. I have had three hundred hosts, and you are the 309th."
Hearing this figure, Ye Shaohua was not the least bit surprised.
She still felt a chilling shock to her core, though. She certainly knew that as a system that chose people, it would select individuals with exceptional abilities from all aspects. Yet even so, the success rate was still nearly zero.
"Host, you must believe me, you are the most suitable person I have encountered for system tasks." 008 said this and glanced at Ye Shaohua.
It had discerned from the time it started guiding Ye Shaohua that she appeared to be a person with secrets. freewebnøvel.com
After three hundred hosts, she was the only one so eerily calm.
Especially since she seemed to possess an endless well of potential, suitable for any world. Thinking of this, 008’s eyes, now in the form of a little brat, deepened.
"I understand. The next task," said Ye Shaohua indifferently.
At the same time, a familiar electronic tone rang in her ear, "Ding! Complete three mainline tasks, System rewards 500 points! Congratulations to the host for receiving 500 points!"
"Ding! 008 system servicing the host, 500 points have been credited, please collect the additional task rewards."
Ye Shaohua realised that she was still in the System Space and had not yet departed.
She glanced at 008 and raised an eyebrow.
But she wasn’t expecting 008 to look back at her and gently say, "The first mandatory task has commenced. The mandatory task world is that of a Feng Shui Master in modern society. As a benefit for the forced beginner task, the host has the right to remain in System Space to study or to leave the space directly for the task world."
"Feng Shui Master?" Ye Shaohua narrowed her eyes. She had been to the Magic World before, and if she used to be a materialist, now not even she could explain her own existence.
She was aware of Feng Shui masters in the modern world, but she had little contact with them.
What she couldn’t understand the most was the mandatory task...
There actually was a buffer period. Ye Shaohua knew this task must be fraught with danger; otherwise, the system wouldn’t have given her so much time.
With this in mind, she opened the System Mall and spent 200 points to buy a stack of books on Feng Shui.
"Host, these books are now yours to keep. Once in the task world, you can bring them back," 008 reminded.
Ye Shaohua nodded, not saying anything further, immersing herself tirelessly in the study of Feng Shui.
Time stood still in System Space, but if converted, Ye Shaohua had maintained the same posture for nearly ten years without movement.
It was a timespan that even 008 found terrifying, and it made it more convinced of this host’s uniqueness.
watched from the side without interrupting her. It still remembered its first host, a genius, who, unfortunately, became overconfident during the onset of the first mandatory task and vanished in that spiritual world.
Late on, when it came time to find a new host, having preferential rights, it chose two more stable hosts. Several hosts had accompanied it for a long time, but in the end, they all disappeared one by one because they didn’t complete their tasks.
This was the 309th.
To be honest, when it first saw Ye Shaohua, it didn’t pay her much attention because of its many experiences, and it even thought that her listless attitude meant she might not make it past the first task.
But unexpectedly, the more time they spent together, the more it came to believe in Ye Shaohua.
She might very well become the first person to complete system tasks and return to the real world.
Finally, one day, the system heard a clear and cold voice, "Start the next task."

When Ye Shaohua woke up again, she only felt a throbbing pain at her wrist.
She climbed out of bed only to be hit by a wave of dizziness and, upon lowering her head to see the wound on her wrist, couldn’t help but curse under her breath.
So it was suicide.
She opened the door to her bedroom and stepped out; the layout of the entire house unfolded before her eyes.
She rubbed her temples. She hadn’t even started receiving the plot yet, but the more she looked at the house, the more her head ached. Where she lived was evidently poorly laid out from the beginning.
The house was shaped like a rectangle, yet one of the most important principles of Feng Shui is the preference for "round heaven and square earth," with the ceiling representing heaven and the house representing earth, which is seen in some ancient buildings. The most notable example is the ancient copper coin, cast according to the principle of round heaven and square earth.
Many Feng Shui masters also like to use copper coins as magical artifacts, and Taoists prefer them for exorcisms.
However, the room Ye Shaohua was currently in was rectangular, with a small bedroom and an unreasonably large kitchen. The living room and the bedroom were relatively sequestered from each other, violating each other’s space, which would deteriorate the resident’s vibrancy and fortune over time.
And right in front of the door was the restroom.
Coming face to face with the toilet upon entering was a major taboo. Normally, architects would have a Feng Shui Master evaluate their designs, even planning restrooms in malls to be built to the side whenever possible.
Because the negative energy from a restroom could disrupt the house’s wealth energy.
Some people feel chills or suffer from chronic lethargy, but find these symptoms improve when they move elsewhere. It’s usually because of this reason.
The original host didn’t understand Feng Shui, so she wouldn’t have been able to neutralize such negative energies.
Living in such a place for long periods is detrimental to one’s health, luck, and wealth, and it can also attract unclean entities.
Even in modern society, architects know this, especially contractors who would definitely be more meticulous about consulting a Feng Shui Master. How could such a structure have come to exist?
Ye Shaohua finally understood why she felt so uncomfortable the moment she woke up.
Furrowing her brow, she was just about to open the window to get some fresh air when she heard a knock at the door.
Outside stood an alluring young man, weariness etched across his face. It seemed as if seeing Ye Shaohua alive was a relief to him. "Shaohua, I know you’re a great person, and you work hard. Many people at school like you, and without me, others would chase you. I’m really fed up; you always talk about seeing unclean things. Do you know everyone at school thinks you’re mentally ill?"
"You always pour all your effort into studying, and honestly, I’m tired of it. Every evening, you refuse to go out, and whenever I ask you out, you just stay in the library. I want to be with someone normal who can accompany me. Someone like Yilin who can stay by my side, not someone who’s like a lunatic. Do you understand?"
"Let’s break up. Don’t threaten me with suicide anymore, this is the last time I’m coming to see you."
After saying this, the man hurried down the stairs as if in fear that Ye Shaohua would not let him leave, leaving in a rush as if throwing off a burden.
