Chapter 1 Deeds
What was Xia Mingwei thinking in those three seconds when she was hit by the car?
She can tell you with certainty that it is, "Take a good look at your own capabilities before you try to save someone next time."
Amidst the intense pain, Xia Mingwei vaguely heard a strange voice saying, "Host is binding." But she was too exhausted to care about these upsetting things, and then she sank into endless darkness.
"Hiss---" A sharp pain shot through her, and Xia Mingwei struggled to raise her hand and touch her forehead.
"Hello, host! I am Wish Check-in System 008, and I'm here to serve you!" A fluffy little doll appeared before Xia Mingwei, flapping its wings.
The sudden sound startled Xia Mingwei. Looking around at the vast expanse of white, she couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Where is this? Why am I here?"
008 winked mischievously, "Host, have you forgotten everything that just happened?"
It casually waved its little hand, and in the blink of an eye, the scene shifted from the small room to the next. This scene was not unfamiliar; it was a hospital.
"Beep—" The image on the electrocardiogram monitor showed that the monitored heart had stopped beating!
Pushing through the crowd, Xia Mingwei saw the pale face on the hospital bed, pale from blood loss, and turned to look at 008 in disbelief.
She wanted to touch that face that was so familiar, but her hand passed right through the body and she couldn't grasp it no matter what she did.
She rushed back to 008's side and anxiously asked, "What exactly happened?"
008 shrugged and spread his hands. "As you can see, you were in a car accident. You're the one lying in bed!"
Just as they were talking, Xia Mingwei heard the doctor's voice standing behind her, "The deceased, Xia Mingwei, was brought to our hospital after a car accident. Despite all efforts to save her, she died at 3:49 a.m. on July 5, 2020!"
Upon hearing this chilling declaration of death, Xia Mingwei collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. "What should I do? I'm still so young, I have so many things I haven't done, I don't want to die!"
"Alright! Host, don't be sad anymore! As long as you complete the mission and accumulate enough energy, you can return to the world and regain the right to reincarnate!" 008 flew to Xia Mingwei's ear and gently comforted her.
Hearing this, Xia Mingwei raised her tearful eyes, looked at 008, and sobbed, "Then what should I do?"
008 cleared his throat and said in a cocky tone, "Well then, let me give you a little lesson!"
"At the beginning of the world, the Supreme God created various systems to accumulate energy. Over the years, these systems have evolved into more sophisticated systems, such as the Slap-in-the-Face and Scum-Abusing System, the Green Tea System, the White Moonlight System, and so on. I am one of them, the Cannon Fodder Wish System. Many people had many obsessions in their lives, and these wishes, suppressed in their hearts, have transformed into faith. And I need to collect these obsessions. Do you understand now?"
"In other words, I need to be bound to you, travel through various small worlds, fulfill other people's wishes, and gain faith points!" After listening to 008's explanation, Xia Mingwei, who had calmed down, suddenly understood.
008 flapped its wings, looking at Xia Mingwei with an expression of appreciative curiosity, and excitedly chimed in, "Yes, yes, that's it!"
"What benefits would it bring me if I helped you collect this power of faith?" "You must have a reason for choosing me, right?" Xia Mingwei's intelligence seemed to have returned as she regained her composure. She blinked, her eyes full of cunning.
"That's because..." The reason was almost out of his mouth when 008 realized what he was doing and quickly covered his mouth.
"Tell me so I can better cooperate with your work!" Xia Mingwei continued to coax 008 with a hint of deception.
008 hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright then! You must listen to me from now on!"
Xia Mingwei couldn't help but mentally give herself a "thumbs up," secretly pleased with herself. "Looks like kids are pretty easy to fool!"
008 cleared his throat with a touch of mystery, "Hosts chosen by the system generally possess extraordinary abilities and certain skills, such as acting skills, a powerful soul, and unwavering will..."
"What about me? What about me?" Xia Mingwei's eyes lit up as she eagerly asked.
008 suddenly changed the subject, "Of course it's cheap and easy to use!"
Once the topic was started, 008 launched into a passionate tirade, "Host, you don't know, ever since the system was able to choose its host, its job search has become increasingly difficult! Only systems with money and power can choose powerful hosts, and of course, they have to pay exorbitant fees! Host, you have no idea, when I first left the factory, no one wanted to bind with me. I finally met you, this unlucky guy, so of course I have to seize this opportunity! It's quite a coincidence..."
Xia Mingwei didn't hear a word of what was said after that. The words "cheap and easy to use" echoed in her mind. A gust of autumn wind blew by, leaving her only with melancholy.
Xia Mingwei glanced at 008, who was still talking non-stop. It seemed that this kid was not only honest but also a chatterbox. It looked like she was in for a rough time.
After the excitement subsided, 008 seemed to sense Xia Mingwei's low spirits. It flew to her side and patted her shoulder. "Alright! Host, there's a saying, 'Since you're here, make the best of it.' Your current world is already dead, and you can't go back! You might as well work on the mission with me; we can even get rewards later!"
Oh right, there's also a reward! Xia Mingwei patted her head, how could she have forgotten such an important thing!
"What will be the reward if I do well on the task?"
"Host, you have the chance to be reborn, and you can even choose your own identity!"
"Looks like it's not all that great!" "Anything else?" Xia Mingwei lowered her voice, trying to make it sound as calm as possible. But inside, she was thinking something else entirely, her excited little hands trembling uncontrollably. "Hahahaha! The world's richest man, unparalleled beauty... Wait for me, I'm coming!"
008 seemed troubled for a moment, then said, "How about this, I'll apply to headquarters and see if we can offer you better treatment!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Mingwei couldn't help but smile. She cleared her throat and said, "Alright then! Please take care of me from now on!"
"Host, let's begin our first mission!"
