Chapter 2: Exclusively published by Jin-Jiang Literature City
When the system heard Si Yuan speak in such a pitiful manner, it was inevitable that he would be frightened when he thought that although he was a powerful person in the God Transformation stage in the Tian Cang Realm, he was still a child less than a hundred years old. It was his first time traveling to other worlds.
The system, which knew nothing about Si Yuan's true origin, was easily fooled by Si Yuan. It hesitated and rummaged through its inventory and said: [Then I will send you a gift package for newbies. 】
Siyuan geared up and said in anticipation: [What is the novice gift package? 】
The system replied: [The memory of the original owner and the original plot. 】
Si Yuan, who has extracted the original owner's memory from this body: [...Isn't this the basic prerequisite support for you to let me do the task? If you don't even give me the original owner's memory and the original plot, how can I complete the mission? Doesn’t it mean that I want to be the father of the cannon fodder, support the cannon fodder, and let the cannon fodder compete with the protagonist and supporting villain as the father? I don’t know the plot, how do I know who is the protagonist, who is the supporting character, and who is the villain? 】
System: [...it sounds reasonable. 】But every time it travels across the world to obtain the original plot, it also needs to spend energy. Is it right to let the host prostitute the original plot for free...
Before the system could continue to think about it, Si Yuan continued to fool around: [Think about it, after I obtain the memory of the original owner and the original plot, I can complete your mission more accurately and quickly, then you can harvest more energy. ? Energy does not just save more and more, you have to learn to earn energy, and to earn energy, you must first learn how to spend energy, and this is not called spending energy casually, this is called investing, invest a little bit of energy first, and then After the mission is successful, you can get countless times of energy returns and double your earnings. 】
The system was deceived by him: [The host is right, then I will directly transfer the original owner's memory and the original plot to you. 】
Si Yuan smiled as he flipped through the large amount of information that appeared in his mind.
The original owner's name was Li Siyuan, the third son of Uncle Jingyuan's Mansion. Above him, there was a full-blooded brother and a second brother born from a concubine, and below him there was a younger sister, a younger brother from a concubine and three younger sisters, for a total of eight brothers and sisters. indivual.
Because the original owner was a playboy, he was not favored by his father and brothers. His mother cared about him and specially asked him to marry Yu Yan, the second daughter of a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. Yu Yan was a straight-laced person who read a lot and was sensible. After he came here, he often advised his husband to make progress.
If the original owner really wanted to make progress, he would have made progress long before marrying his wife. He disliked that his wife Yu Yan was more nagging than his mother, so the relationship between the couple became increasingly estranged.
Less than two years after the original owner got married, his remaining concubine brother Li Jingyuan also got married. Uncle Jingyuan fell seriously ill due to poor health and decided to pass the title to his eldest son Li Chengyuan and give it to several The son's family was divided.
According to the current rules of family division, the eldest son gets 70% of the family property, and the remaining sons get 30%. Of the 30%, the original owner, as the second son, gets 20%, and the original owner's illegitimate brother and illegitimate brother can only share the rest equally. That's 10%.
Unlike the two concubine brothers who had long understood that their concubine status would not allow them to share much of the family property, the original owner, as a legitimate son, was envious of his eldest brother. He felt that his eldest brother could monopolize 70% of the family property and inherit the title because he was born earlier than himself. In two years, if he had been born earlier and was the eldest son, then he would be the one to inherit the title and 70% of the family property now.
It's just that the original owner was a little afraid of his father and brother, and never dared to expose his dark jealousy. However, because of this jealousy, the original owner who was sent out of the house only wanted to get out of the house and make his father and brother look at him differently.
It's just that his early career was not to study hard for the imperial examination, but to go to the casino with the money he received in an attempt to get rich overnight.
Uncle Jingyuan's mansion has been in decline. Not only does he have little say in the court, he only has a title but no real official position, but the family's property has shrunk even more seriously. In order to maintain the reputation, he is almost going to have to eat a lot of food.
For this reason, old Uncle Jingyuan even married the daughter of an imperial merchant for his second son by a concubine, hoping that this merchant girl would bring a large dowry to fill the shortfall of Uncle Jingyuan's house.
The original owner knew that Uncle Jingyuan's house was in a financial predicament, otherwise his share of 20% of the family property as the legitimate son would not have been so small. He just wanted to make a lot of money to impress his father and brother.
It's just that he doesn't know how to do business, and no one will take him to do profitable business. The three most profitable shops in the center of the capital can only be rented out to earn rent.
Originally, if he had no ambitions, relying on the rent from his family business to eat and drink in a prosperous shop, as well as the fields and village on the outskirts of the capital, with the Jingyuan Mansion as his back, even if he was an ordinary white person, his life would be better than that of most people in the capital. People are much better off.
But someone was concerned about the three prosperous shops in his hands, and he himself was careless, so he fell into the casino. At first, others let him fall into the trap and won him a small amount of money, trapping him. After that, he lost nine out of ten bets.
In the original plot, the original owner fell into the abyss after losing those three prosperous shops. In order to win back the shops, he continued to gamble. After gambling on the land and village, he gambled on the house, and finally gave away all his wife's dowry. went.
However, in just one year after the separation of the family, the original owner was completely ruined.
Seeing that he was so unsatisfied, his father and brother didn't want to take care of him at all, because they knew that the backers behind the casino were the eldest prince's people, and Jingyuan Jingyuan's mansion could not afford to offend the eldest prince's men, let alone the eldest prince.
Fortunately, the original owner still had a mother who cared about him. Mother Li subsidized some assets of the original owner's family, but what she loved more was her eldest son who inherited the title and her caring and gentle daughter who grew up beside her. She was very fond of the original owner. There is some love for this second son, but not much.
Therefore, the original owner could only rely on Mother Li's support to live an ordinary life, and could not be as luxurious as before.
Unable to accept this gap, the original owner spent his days drinking and drinking. His wife Yu Yan was extremely disappointed in him and only focused on raising his son Li Changqing.
Yu Yan wanted to send his son to study and take the imperial examination in the future. Although the original owner did not live up to expectations, he still had some relatives with the Jingyuan uncle's house. If his son had a future in school, he could also take advantage of the relationship with the Jingyuan uncle's house.
Uncle Jingyuan's mansion is in decline again. The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there are still three kilograms of nails in the rotten ship.
But the original owner didn't care about his son's education at all. He drank or gambled every day. If he didn't have money for big gambling, he would gamble on small things and robbed Yu Yan of all the money he had prepared for his son to go to school.
Under this kind of family environment, the original owner's son Li Changqing still worked hard to pass the imperial examination, which won the admiration of his grandfather Lao Jingyuanbo. He also received the support of Jingyuanbo's mansion when he studied for the imperial examination.
He should have had a good future, but he had a biological father who was holding him back.
Li Changqing, who finally passed the Jinshi examination and was awarded an official, was instigated by the third prince to kill the original owner because he interfered with the third prince's affairs. Anyway, it seemed normal that the original owner fell into the water and drowned due to drunkenness.
As soon as the original owner died, Li Changqing had to resign and Ding You returned home to observe filial piety. Later, when the three-year period of filial piety came to an end, Li Changqing wanted to make a comeback, but he was never able to do so.
Because the third prince who killed his father had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, in order to prevent Li Changqing from knowing the truth about his father's death and holding a grudge, he simply refused to give Li Changqing the chance to become an official.
In the end, Li Changqing could only become a teacher in depression, and finally died in depression, never being able to fulfill the promise he had made to his mother - to earn a life for her.
In sharp contrast to Li Changqing's unfortunate fate is his cousin Li Changwen.
Li Changwen is the eldest son of Li Jingyuan. After Li Jingyuan was separated from the Jingyuan uncle's mansion, he saved money and did not spend it randomly. Instead, he studied hard and passed the second-class Jinshi without falling into the third-class Jinshi. .
Then Li Jingyuan took advantage of Uncle Jing Yuan's connections to serve as magistrate of another county. With the resources of Uncle Jing Yuan's Mansion behind him, he was promoted fairly quickly. After all, he was the only one in the entire Jing Yuan Bo's Mansion who passed the imperial examination and became an official. Even if Li Chengyuan, the current Uncle Jingyuan, does not want to spend resources on him, the old Uncle Jingyuan will not agree.
Li Jingyuan, who had exhausted the resources and favors of Uncle Jingyuan Mansion, finally took the position of a third-rank official. As his eldest son, Li Changwen naturally won at the starting line. In addition, as the protagonist of this world, Li Changwen has also been talented since he was a child. He was smart and knew how to read, and everything went smoothly in the imperial examinations. He was admitted into the top tier of the imperial examinations, and everything went smoothly under his father's blessing after he became an official.
Later, Li Jingyuan and Li Changwen, father and son, joined the third prince's service together, and made great contributions to the third prince's ascension to the throne. They obtained the merit of serving the dragon. Li Jingyuan was able to join the cabinet, and Li Changwen became the third prince's trusted confidant and regarded as a friend.
As for Li Changqing, a poor relative, he has nothing to do with the famous father and son.
Li Changqing failed to revive many times, and he also asked Li Changwen, but he was sent away by the housekeeper without even seeing his face.
Li Changwen knew the details of the situation in which Li Changqing acted as a roadblock for the third prince without knowing it and was kicked away casually, so how could he help Li Changqing, who he had barely seen even a few times? A cousin who has no feelings.
After Si Yuan finished reading the original plot, he thought deeply: [System, you don't expect me to go to the imperial examination to become an official, to be a bigger official than Li Jingyuan, and then to be Li Changqing's backer, right? 】
The system said: [Yes, how else are you going to complete the task? 】
Si Yuan said with a face of embarrassment: [System, you see, I have been practicing in Wangtian Sect since I was a child, and I have never learned the Four Books and Five Classics. The original owner also has an empty head and has no knowledge left for me. Isn’t it embarrassing for me to expect me to be admitted to the Jinshi? ? Moreover, I still have to spend time understanding the rules of the world. How can I have time to study hard for decades in Hanchuang? 】
system:【……】
Si Yuan continued to pretend to be pitiful and miserable: [I was born as an orphan since my parents died, and no one adopted me. I finally heard about the news that the Immortal Sect was recruiting disciples. On the way to join the Immortal Sect, I was abducted by human traffickers. After all I went through all the hard work to reach the Immortal Sect. After joining the Immortal Sect, no one from the sect master to the elders accepted me as their disciple... The first time I went down the mountain for training, I was assassinated by the demon cultivator... The son of the sect leader has a good father. I can inherit the position of sect leader, but I don’t have a father, and I’m not even qualified to be the heir... Now you want me to be someone else’s father...]
The system felt pity in its heart. This must be too miserable for the host.
So the system, which was moved with compassion, hesitated and said: [Then I will open the system mall for you in advance. You can exchange mission points for props in the system mall, such as the imperial examination skill book. You can obtain all the knowledge points of the imperial examination by directly using the skill book. , guaranteed to be admitted to Jinshi. That is, you don’t have any mission points yet, so you can only pay on credit. 】
Si Yuan didn't expect that there would be such an advantage in casually selling miserably. He sighed in his heart that this inexperienced system was so easy to fool, and he smiled and said with his spiritual consciousness: "Thank you so much, system, you are so good to me." Yes, thank you! 】
The system heard Si Yuan's thanks and happily spent its energy to help him open the system mall.
Siyuan found a lot of treasures in the system mall, including all kinds of natural and earthly treasures and strange skills and props, which really opened his eyes.
Of course he also found the 'Imperial Examination Skill Book' mentioned by the system, but he just glanced at it and skipped it, not wanting to buy it at all. Then his eyes fell on an item called 'World Affinity'.
Look at the introduction of 'World Affinity': Improve the affinity with the origin of the world. The higher the affinity, the easier it is to understand the rules of the world. When the affinity reaches 100%, you can integrate with the origin of the world and become one. Lord of the world.
Si Yuan felt excited when he saw it. This was a good thing, a good thing that could make it easier for him to understand the rules of the world.
As for the fact that one can become the Lord of the World if the world affinity reaches 100%, Si Yuan pretended not to see it.
He is an immortal cultivator from a world like Tiancang Realm, so how could he destroy his future and become the master of a small world and limit himself to his limit?
Si Yuan did not hesitate to exchange all the mission points owed to him by the system for 'World Affinity'.
After the system saw what he exchanged, he asked angrily: [Didn't you say you wanted to exchange for the 'Imperial Examination Skill Book'? 】
Si Yuan blinked innocently: [When did I say that I wanted to redeem the 'Imperial Examination Skill Book'? I have no plans to take the imperial examination, and the purpose of my promise to you to travel through time is to understand the rules of each world and improve your realm, so there is nothing wrong with me redeeming the 'World Affinity'. 】
The system jumped in anger: [But if you don’t complete the task, there will be no task points, and you can’t even think about me continuing to give you credit! 】
Si Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly and said: [Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task. As for the method of completion, you don't have to worry about it. 】
He has integrated the 'World Affinity' and has indeed felt the effect. It is indeed easier to understand the world rules of this small world, so his trust in the system has also increased a lot, and naturally he does not need to continue to test this idiot. Sweet system.
He will still do the tasks. After all, only by completing the tasks can he obtain more task points, exchange them for more 'world affinity', and increase his speed in understanding the rules of the world.
The system that had vaguely realized that it had been deceived asked: [Did you lie to me before? 】
Si Yuan said with a smile: [Guess! 】
The system asked without tears: [You said that your parents died when you were young and you were an orphan...]
Si Yuan nodded: [Yes, it is true that my parents died and I was an orphan, but I am cute and smart, and everyone in my tribe likes me, so I eat a lot of food every day, and I look white, fat, and cute. . Otherwise, why do you think the traffickers wanted to abduct me? 】
The system continued to ask: [You said you were abducted by human traffickers on the way to attend the Immortal Sect's disciple recruitment conference...]
Si Yuan smiled and said: [Yes, but the trafficker was sold by me in the end. If I was really abducted, how could I join the Wangtian Sect? 】
The system asked in a trembling voice: [You said that after joining the Immortal Sect, no one from the sect master to the elder accepted you as a disciple...]
Si Yuan smiled even brighter: [Because I am so talented, the ancestor of the Immortal Sect who ascended to the immortal world accepted me as a disciple across the world, and became the little master of the sect master and elders. 】
System: [You said that the first time you went down the mountain to experience, you were assassinated by a demon cultivator...]
