Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 363 - 355: The Pleasant Surprise of Level Skipping

As long as she never gives up hope, never bows down to so-called destiny, she will change her fate sooner or later, break free from constraints, and turn passivity into proactivity. Everything will change.

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s resolute thinking, coupled with her calm and confident gaze, made the system full of emotions for a moment.

"Host, am I really useless? Boo hoo hoo! You don’t know how terrified I was when I saw you unconscious and unresponsive at that time. Boo hoo hoo! I thought we were going to die."

Cheng Xiaoxiao: "..."

Who needs comforting more?

Cheng Xiaoxiao used Healing Light all over her body and felt much better. Her body miraculously felt as if it had been enchanted, and the pain disappeared in a warm wave. Large movements still caused a faint ache, but it was manageable. Since she was on someone else’s territory, she needed to be even more cautious.

Once the system’s sobbing subsided, it reminded her, "You still haven’t told me how Zhou Yanlan is doing?"

"Right, I was just about to tell you."

...Alright!

"Host, take a look at the task panel. There’s a surprise!"

The system’s sadness came and went quickly.

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s thoughts flickered, and the character panel appeared before her eyes. Her slightly opened eyes immediately lit up, and she couldn’t believe what she saw.

Seventh Level... Did she leap levels?

Star Age: Bone Age 14

System Coin: 23,520.0 coins

Strength Value: 358

Five Senses Value: 52

"Is the host surprised? Task rewards included two pieces of crystal. Who knows what’s inside? Plus, there are two upgrade packs waiting to be claimed, and Energy Value hasn’t been added yet."

Is she so wealthy now?

"Yes, host. This task was indeed much more challenging, and the headquarters rewarded accordingly. I didn’t manage to get any life-saving items because Sikong Yinlong had already saved the host by then. However, the host was too severely injured to continue the task, so compensation was given outside the rules, allowing the warehouse space, which normally upgrades at Level Ten, to be promoted ahead of schedule."

Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at the bottom right corner, and sure enough, the warehouse location was marked as space.

At the moment she thought of the space, a transparent humanoid consciousness body appeared within it.

’What’s going on?’

"Host, you are now a consciousness body, which can freely enter and exit the space as you wish."

Cheng Xiaoxiao saw a 100-cubic space, surrounded by mist that hindered her vision, while the limited space contained a pile of items scattered in the middle, not neatly arranged but not in disarray either.

Yes, it’s all of her possessions.

All around was lush green grass, and then there was nothing else. It’s indeed just a space... nothing more. No bridges over streams, no houses or sheds, no spirit springs or black soil—just legends.

Oh, but there were the unconscious children and Zhou Yanlan in the corner.

Looking at Zhou Yanlan’s injuries, with the bleeding frozen in place, he continued to breathe—it was truly miraculous.

"I took advantage of Ouyang Ancestor and Sikong Yinlong’s battle to bring Zhou Yanlan and the children into the space. The area they are in now was the old warehouse, which has a preservation function. Once brought in, everything remains as it was at that moment, so wounds won’t worsen nor heal. If the host wishes to treat him, you just need to move him to the grassland."

Currently, Zhou Yanlan’s condition was dire, and they were on someone else’s territory with limited resources, so they could only proceed within the space. Faced with the host’s amateurish medical skills, saving him might be...

’Do you have such a clear view of your own host?’

System: "Haha! That’s just the truth."

’Stop being sarcastic; I know my limits. I won’t move him without full confidence.’

Having checked the children’s condition, she found they were just unconscious and unharmed, so she felt much more at ease.

From her crouched position, her eyes were drawn to a shimmering luminous pearl.

’Luminous Pearl!’

And surrounding her on the ground were scattered items, either shining brightly or exuding opulence. Upon closer inspection, weren’t these decorations from Ouyang Ancestor’s seclusion hall?

All sorts of damaged, flawed, and defective items were present, though few were intact.

"Cough, cough, they fought so fiercely back then that few things remained intact."

’Qiqi, you’re amazing, a master of scavenging hidden treasures!’

Hearing the host’s praise, the system instantly revived. "That old monster was truly despicable; I wish I could empty everything from his hall. Sadly, the items that weren’t knocked off were embedded too firmly, and I couldn’t remove them, or else I wouldn’t leave a single brick for him."

’Hahaha!’

’Qiqi is so cute!’

"Isn’t it thanks to the host’s guidance?"

’What did you say?’

"Nothing, host. Are these things valuable? But many are damaged, and there are four Luminous Pearls, three of which are incomplete."

The system quickly changed the topic, as the host allowed herself certain liberties. When she passed, she taught it how to take advantage of such situations.

’It doesn’t matter; this is already a fortune, especially the Luminous Pearls. Complete ones are too conspicuous; having one is enough. The rest can be cut and polished into marbles. One would be worth a hundred and eighty taels, calculated by gold standards!

Haha! Aren’t we rich now? Plus, these items made of pure gold, once melted down and recast, are truly something!’

She weighed them in her hand; indeed, they were precious.

’Hey! What material is this dragon horn made of?’ Its texture felt similar to her old companion. Could it be forged from Mystic Iron?

Wow, several hundred pounds of Mystic Iron, what a concept?

She could forge numerous special weapons with it, greatly enhancing military power.

Wait, she might have accidentally sat on something when she was thrilled just now. Stretching her hand beneath her, she pulled out a brick as smooth as jade. Oh, nope, she remembered this item was part of Ouyang Ancestor’s throne armrest.

What a large piece of jade!

"Host, there are quite a few more!"

’Where, where!’

After a quarter of an hour, she clawed out seven pieces of jade of varying sizes and shapes.

Now neatly arranged in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao, she swallowed nonexistent saliva.

’These injuries... were worth it.’

A certain person’s eyes and brows were filled with delight.

’Qiqi, you’re truly my good helper. With these items, our castle will become more solid and magnificent. We can recruit troops and form a new force.’

"Yes, we’ll definitely get better and better."

Such a bloody lesson was because her strength was too weak, her power too small, and she lacked connections and resources. From now on, she wouldn’t need to keep a low profile or disguise herself. No longer would she seek peace; she aimed to quickly expand her power, attract more talent to rely on, preventing anyone from daring to disrespect or disdain her.

Just then, a thirteen-to-fourteen-year-old maid in a green dress entered, carrying a bowl of black medicinal soup.

The system reminded Cheng Xiaoxiao to quickly return to the consciousness state.
