A heads-up: The first world has been criticized by many readers. If you're looking for strict narrative and logic, you can skip the first apocalyptic world. Please be gentle, my dears. (Author's early notice, 2023/8/15)
As Lin Qingxue entered this body, her Soul was in unbearable pain. According to the System, this was because her original Soul was too weak.
Once she completes more tasks later and her Soul becomes stronger, she will be able to endure the tearing of her Soul by the time-space turbulence during spatial teleportation.
Note: The female protagonist will use the task object's name in each new task world, meaning the female protagonist will be referred to as Xie Lingruo in this task world.
Since Lingruo currently knows nothing about this world, she immediately asked the System to transmit the original plot.
Lin Qingxue was named Xie Lingruo, the only girl of the Xie Family in this generation. She is 22 years old and has just graduated. She could have lived a life of comfort and ease.
However, the world will enter an apocalypse a month later. The female protagonist, Lin Yiyi, stole Lin Qingxue’s Family heirloom jade bracelet. After a drop of blood bound it to her, she activated a space in the apocalypse and lived a flourishing life.
The male protagonist was her former boyfriend, Zhang Wenbin. Not only did he betray her, but when the apocalypse came, he disliked Lin Qingxue for not having powers and directly used her as a tool for his desires within the team. Lin Qingxue ultimately died from being raped.
No wonder Lin Qingxue deeply hated these two. It makes sense. One of them stole her Golden Finger, and the other scumbag actually tortured her in such a way. Killing someone is one thing, but being raped to death by many people is too brutal.
However, for the System to give her such a difficult task from the start, an apocalypse full of zombies, it’s really overestimating her as a novice, Lingruo constantly lamented in her heart.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask the System, “What happens if I fail the task?”
System: “The Host will be sent to a punishment plane, which is a hundred times more difficult than the current plane. If the Host fails again in the punishment plane, you will be eliminated, because we do not need useless people who fail twice in a row.”
It seems she must work harder, because the current difficulty is already a struggle for her. A hundred times the difficulty would be a disaster, and she would definitely be finished.
Just as she thought of this, her phone suddenly rang. It was Zhang Wenbin, the scumbag. Lingruo immediately blacklisted him; she figured his call couldn't be for anything good.
If it weren't for the current peaceful society, she would have already dealt with these two scourges. However, she could hire people to make these two scumbags and sluts miserable.
So, Lingruo directly hired someone to collect photos of Zhang Wenbin and Lin Yiyi meeting in hotels, and then had the paparazzi send these photos to everyone who knew them.
She did this hoping to ruin their reputations before the apocalypse. Since she couldn't kill them yet, ruining their reputation would suffice.
Lin Qingxue was wealthy and beautiful, but she was quite traditional in relationships, not accepting pre-marital sex. This was how Zhang Wenbin was seduced into bed by Lin Yiyi, and from then on, he secretly associated with the white lotus.
It wasn't until the apocalypse broke out that Lingruo discovered their affair, but by then, it was too late.
Fortunately, in the current plot, Lin Qingxue’s jade bracelet has not yet been stolen by Lin Yiyi, because in the original plot, Lin Yiyi would, half a month later, use the excuse of attending her birthday party to secretly sneak into her room and steal the Family heirloom jade bracelet.
But now that she was here, Lin Yiyi shouldn't even think about climbing over her. Therefore, Lingruo immediately took out the small wooden box from the table and retrieved the jade bracelet.
At this moment, just as Lingruo bit her finger, preparing to bind it with a drop of blood as in the original plot, the System prompted her that it could help with Soul binding, but it would cost ten thousand points.
Why didn't the System say so earlier? It made her cruelly bite her own finger. She felt that the other party was deliberately slow by half a beat, Lingruo secretly grumbled in her heart.
However, it was still more cost-effective to let the System help. Although it demanded points, she had to grit her teeth and agree. Lingruo didn't hesitate much and immediately agreed.
Are you kidding? Only a fool would refuse to spend some points to buy a long-term tool. After all, she would be going to other worlds to do tasks in the future, and these points were well spent. After all, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing points.
“Ding, ten thousand points have been deducted from the Host. Current points: negative one hundred and ten thousand points.” (It cost one hundred thousand points to help Lin Qingxue preserve her original body earlier.)
After the System helped bind the space, a white space of about twenty thousand cubic meters immediately appeared in Lingruo’s mind, but this was too different from the space Lin Yiyi obtained in the book.
In the original plot, the space Lin Yiyi bound could accommodate people, could be farmed, and was infinitely large.
How did it turn out like this for her? Lingruo was a bit puzzled and asked the System in her mind.
“That’s because the female protagonist is the Daughter of Luck, and your Soul is too unlucky, which also infected this body. With one waxing and the other waning, it became like this.”
Alright, it seems it’s her own fault. But this is fine for now; one shouldn't be too greedy.
Now that she had the space, the next step should be to formulate a detailed plan: how to hoard supplies and train her frail body.
She had previously thought about telling some information to Lin Qingxue’s brother, Xie Ruofeng, but he was currently on a secret mission in the army and couldn't be contacted.
As for Lin Qingxue’s father, because Lin Qingxue insisted on being with the current scumbag, she had not been in contact with him for some time, and Lin Qingxue’s mother had passed away from illness several years ago.
So, for now, it's better to take care of herself first and then find an opportunity to tell them later. The main reason is that a big Family is not of one mind. If the secret of the apocalypse were leaked by someone with ill intentions, she would be in trouble.
Therefore, after much thought, Lingruo decided it was better to keep the secret of the apocalypse to herself. The main point is that a secret told to others can no longer be called a secret.
