Chapter 164 The Heirs 22
"Does the mission failure refer to the original owner's wish mission?"
[No, the system has only one mission, which is to die and locate the small world. Whether the wish mission is completed or not will only affect the amount of points, and will not affect the performance assessment.]
Zhu Yue: "Is the promotion you mentioned before any different from what it is now?"
[After the promotion, the host can enter the Spacetime Bureau at any time. He can also freely choose to accept tasks. ]
Zhu Yue thought for a moment and asked, "How far am I from getting promoted?"
"Does promotion also depend on points?"
[If we use ABCD as an example, the small worlds that the host has located so far are all of difficulty not exceeding D-level. The only world above D-level is the natural disaster world, which is rated C-. The latest rating you obtained after leaving is that every former employee who came to the Spacetime Bureau and was promoted has experienced at least ten A-level worlds.]
Zhu Yue couldn't help but jump up from the bed, staring in disbelief at the attribute panel that popped up for her on the system.
"No way, I've already completed more than a dozen missions, and now you're telling me that the mission worlds I've been through are all low-difficulty? My promotion progress is zero? Why didn't you tell me this at the beginning?"
[Knowing this earlier won't change anything. The level you go to for the mission is related to the host's own attributes and qualities. You have just joined the company for less than a year, so those things are still far away. ]
The system's words gave Zhu Yue some comfort. At least she knew that even if the conditions for promotion were revealed, her current abilities would not allow her to challenge a higher-difficulty world.
"How dangerous are those A-level worlds to make the task of just surviving so difficult?"
[Not only the world difficulty, but also the worlds above level B have a significant characteristic, that is, the world consciousness has been born for a long time, and you are not the first host to do the task, it will not give you any help, and the identity you enter is mostly an illegal account, and it is likely that the beginning will be very dangerous. This situation is also one of the major reasons for the decline in the survival rate of the tasker. ]
"No wonder I can't randomly enter the interstellar world or the immortal world. The rating of that kind of world is definitely not just D. So how should I improve my own abilities so that I can have the opportunity to go to a more difficult world in the future?"
[Your previous idea, practicing soul skills to make your soul stronger is a good idea. Your current soul strength is indeed very weak. Once a month is the most reasonable frequency after evaluating your soul strength.]
Before the system could finish its words, it dealt another blow to Zhu Yue.
[It is not recommended that you do quests in your soul state after death. If you are randomly sent to a difficult world, your tolerance rate will become very low, and you may die in an accident.]
"But." Zhu Yue bit her lower lip hesitantly. "But the missions once a month are almost devouring my real life. Compared to the decades spent on each mission, a month in the main world is so short. I don't want to get lost, and I don't want to forget my feelings for my family and my real friends. But even if I resist the feelings of the mission world, it seems that I can't stop this trend. I think if I continue to do missions once a month, sooner or later I will not be able to bear it, I will not be able to bear this loneliness. Sooner or later, the people in the mission world will influence me, just like I have a friend now. Yu Ziran's existence also proves that my original idea of treating the world as a game and real people as NPCs is not feasible."
"If this continues, sooner or later my real world will become as important to me as the mission world. I don't want this to happen. When the real world no longer means anything to me, will I still have a self? Will I get lost in endless missions?"
The words she spoke were also an analysis of her own psychology. The more Zhu Yue spoke, the clearer her thoughts became. She gradually understood what was the most important thing for her that she could not give up.
"If I can't continue the mission after death, then I can pause real time and go back after I meet the promotion requirements, okay?"
Perhaps this is the only way to maintain the meaning of the real world to her. No matter how many mission worlds she experiences, whether she has any feelings for the world or not, she will always remember where her real home is.
Perhaps sensing her determination, the system seemed to be stuck for 0.5 seconds before responding.
[This has been reported to the Space Bureau and has been approved.]
[Have employees confirmed that they will freeze their native time dimension and will not go back and forth until they meet the conditions for promotion? ]
Zhu Yue's eyes became firm. "I'm sure."
[The new rules have been generated and run. ]
[Host, after the mission is completed, you will not have the opportunity to return to your own world for a month, but will return to the system space and wait for your soul to recover enough to complete the next jump. ]
Zhu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. After making a decision, she was not the type to regret it. She knew what choice was better for her.
"Thank you, system." She said, "I will not brainwash myself anymore that the small world is fake and the living people are all NPCs."
The faces of the people she had interacted with in the previous world flashed before her eyes, including Bai Lu and her friendly roommates. She felt relaxed and a little guilty. If she had made up her mind earlier, Zhu Yue would not be so aloof when she met such friendly people again.
Thinking about the unexpected gains in this world also made her realize that sooner or later she would have to face everything. She was already lonely enough. Even if she was strong enough to solve difficulties without help from others, it did not mean that she would be numb to the kindness of others.
Yu Ziran in this world, her roommate in the last world, Bai Lu in the world before that, and her companions from even earlier times, they were all factors that made Zhu Yue determined to change, and they were also the key straws that tied the camel's back on her already taut heartstrings.
People always have to face their true selves, and Zhu Yue has to admit that she is not always honest with herself.
She doesn't think she is a good person, but with the love and care of her parents and grandparents since childhood, she can't be completely antisocial and become an emotionless bad person.
When she encounters kindness, she also wants to respond to kindness. When a nice and sincere person approaches her, her first reaction should not be to reject her. She should not tell herself over and over again that this is fake, this is not your world, these people are like NPCs, and you absolutely should not invest your feelings in these worlds.
Fighting against instinct is a very exhausting thing. Zhu Yue feels that if she didn't have her grandparents in the real world, who loved her unconditionally, and Wang Ziming, a close friend with whom she could share some emotions, she might have collapsed earlier and faster.
Saying that she was trying to complete the mission for the sake of points was actually partly self-deception. Even if... there were no points, Zhu Yue thought, sometimes, after she saw the miserable original owner in her memory, as a human being and a woman, she also wanted to change something.
In the future, she will be more honest with herself and treat herself better.
Before finally falling asleep, Zhu Yue couldn't help thinking about the faces of her grandparents. She placed her hand on her chest, and the warmth from her heart flowed into her limbs. She had a dream that couldn't be more beautiful.
