Chapter 3 You're not human!
If you raise them, you have to be responsible for them and take good care of them. She's a busy office worker who's always on the go, so where would she find the time to take care of them? If she doesn't take good care of them and they get sick or something happens to them, then she'll really be guilty.
Because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to take good care of the furry children, she hadn't taken any action even though she wanted to. But now, looking at this white, fluffy little guy in front of her, she couldn't resist.
"That system, I've successfully bound it now, but where's my guinea pig?" Lu Jinyan finally remembered the important matter.
"Host, the target of your experiment is about ten meters to your left front!" As soon as the topic turned to business, the system immediately became serious again.
Upon hearing the system's words, Lu Jinyan immediately turned her flower crown and looked in the direction the system indicated. However, no matter how she looked, she couldn't see anything except a patch of pink flowers and a few trees!
"System, are you mistaken? I haven't seen a single person except for flowers and trees!"
"Host, yes, look again, it's under that big tree!" came the system's cute voice.
"Under the big tree? There's no one under the big tree. There's only a Lycoris radiata flower... Wait, you're not going to tell me that's the person I'm trying to seduce, are you?" Lu Jinyan felt a throbbing sensation in her temples, a very unpleasant feeling.
"That's right, host, that rain lily is your experimental target!" After the system finished speaking, the target's information appeared on the screen in front of Lu Jinyan.
Name: Rain Lily
Age: 400 years old
Height: Unknown
Weight: Unknown
Cultivation level: 0
Favorability: 0
Walkthrough progress: 0
Lu Jinyan: . . . . .
"What the hell is this? You want me to woo a flower? Are you kidding me? What kind of setting is this? You want me to woo a flower all by myself? How am I supposed to do that? At least give me a living, talking flower!" Lu Jinyan felt like she was about to shatter. Was this guy kidding her?
"Host, that's right, she is your experimental target. Also, host, you are now a flower... a flower seducing another flower, isn't that normal? And you are a demon, not a human, so our targets are all demons. There are no humans, even if they transform into human form, they are still not human!"
The system blinked her large, kazhilan eyes, looking completely innocent. It seemed the host hadn't yet adjusted to the fact that she was no longer human.
Lu Jinyan: You're not human! Your whole family is not human!!!
Okay, she's definitely not human now!
Lu Jinyan sighed and looked at the Lycoris radiata flower, which the system called the rain lily. She recognized the flower; her family had planted many of these flowers in their yard when she was a child.
There are white, pink, and red ones, blooming in patches, which is very beautiful. Moreover, this flower is very easy to grow. In the words of the countryside, this flower is very "cheap"—of course, not in the way you would use it as an insult.
It's just to express that this flower is very adaptable; it can survive anywhere you throw it. However, back then they didn't call it rain lily, but rather spider lily, just like its current form.
Because its bulbs look somewhat like garlic, it's commonly called the Lycoris radiata. Like the red spider lily, it belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family. The only difference is the type of flower it produces.
Lu Jinyan's petals twitched slightly. She thought to herself, "This system is quite considerate; it even found me a kindred spirit... What, is it afraid of being incompatible and unable to communicate?"
"Um, system, can I refuse?" Lu Jinyan was on the verge of tears.
"No, host. And don't worry, she's intelligent, so you can confidently try to win her over!" the system kindly explained to her.
Lu Jinyan gave a wry smile, clicked to accept the mission, and then began her conquest journey.
The rain lily was not far from her, and since they were the only two intelligent beings in the area, they quickly became familiar with each other. The rain lily was probably simple-minded and cute because she had just developed her intelligence.
To put it nicely, she was very naive; to put it bluntly, she was a bit silly. Under Lu Jinyan's combination of coaxing and deception, and her silver tongue, Feng Yulan's progress in winning her over was quickly 99%.
The progress was so fast that it caught everyone off guard. Lu Jinyan, who had succeeded, felt that this so-called strategy mission was nothing special, and even gave her the illusion that she was quite capable.
Lu Jinyan also gave her a name, Chuchu. Chuchu was very happy to have a new name. In addition, the two of them, or rather, the two demons, were both unlucky souls with damaged spiritual roots, and they were both from the Amaryllidaceae family, so the two of them were very close.
Chu Chu had an inexplicable dependence on Lu Jin Yan. The two agreed to supervise each other's cultivation every day, striving to transform into human form as soon as possible! They also made a promise to venture into the demon realm together after transforming into human form.
The system is a good system. For every bit of favorability she gains, she will receive corresponding points and rewards, and these rewards are quite generous. At least that's what Lu Jinyan thought when she looked at the boxes of things in her space. As long as there are things to take, Lu Jinyan is happy.
After all, why not take advantage of freebies? Besides, looking at the jewelry and other items the system gave her, although the colors weren't great, the designs were still quite pretty. Once she successfully transformed, she could just take one or two sets and sell them. Then she'd have money to live off.
Besides, anything produced by the system is bound to be of high quality. This is a phrase that is often used in novels. Although there are some things she can't use right now, she will definitely be able to use them in the future.
Just as Lu Jinyan was happily anticipating that she would receive the Transformation Pill and successfully transform into human form once she successfully completed the conquest, Chu Chu's progress was stuck at 99%.
Originally, all that was needed was a final push, but now she's tried so many times, yet the progress is still stuck at 99 percent and won't budge.
A month and a half has passed since she transmigrated, and Chu Chu's progress in winning her over is still 99%. This makes her feel that it was a joke that she managed to raise Chu Chu's favorability to 80% in just a few days.
The idea that the strategy mission was nothing special was completely wrong. She thought that the strategy mission was not too difficult. After all, she only took a few days to reach level 90. She thought she could complete the mission smoothly in a week at most, get the Transformation Pill, transform, and leave this forest.
But what happened? A month and a half has passed, and she's still here.
She couldn't figure out where the problem lay. She had tried everything, but she just couldn't get that one point. Lu Jinyan felt like she was about to collapse. Even when she was a corporate slave, she hadn't been this stressed. Truly, a single point can stump even a hero!
Lu Jinyan sighed and sent her consciousness into the space. This was the place where she spent the most time every day. This space was a built-in feature after she was bound to the system. The space was at a constant temperature and could store many things.
She packed all the items the system had rewarded her with into a box and piled them in a corner. She didn't need them now. She was a flower now, so she couldn't eat. Moreover, they hadn't yet taken human form and only needed to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. They didn't need to eat. But she still got hungry, not physically, but spiritually.
Every day at the appointed time, she would want to eat, but there was nothing to eat. It was an indescribable feeling, but it was definitely very uncomfortable. To alleviate this discomfort and distract herself, she could only sneak in and chat with the system. In recent days, she had managed to get a little bit of information from the system, some of which she obtained by spending points.
I have to say, that little system girl is really tight-lipped!
It was during this period of chatting that she learned some truly shocking news: she hadn't simply transmigrated, but had instead transmigrated into a novel she was currently reading. Initially, she was completely unaware that she had transmigrated into a book, remaining utterly clueless. It wasn't until the system tricked her into exchanging points for some information that she finally understood!
She remembered it was a sunny afternoon when she was bored, so she sneaked into her space to chat and joke with the system. Since she could improve her cultivation by doing tasks, why bother with the hard work of cultivation? She was too tired in her previous life, and now she was determined to be a lazy good-for-nothing.
Then, she was tricked by the system into spending two hundred points to exchange for some information about the demon realm. According to the system, this place is the demon realm, and in addition to the demon realm, there are also the immortal realm, the god realm, the human realm, and the ghost realm in this space-time.
Because the points she could pay were limited, Lu Jinyan didn't hesitate to ignore the affairs of the other realms. The realms of gods and immortals were places she, a little flower fairy, would probably never come into contact with in her lifetime. Moreover, according to the TV shows and novels she had read before, the people of the realms of gods and immortals hated demons very much, so there was no point in asking about them.
As for the human realm, she can visit it herself after she transforms into human form, without needing to spend points to do so. As for the ghost realm, she is even less interested in knowing about it. However, she is quite curious whether the ghost realm is really as terrifying as it is described in TV dramas or novels.
She also recalled that in modern times, many people said that the red spider lily is a flower that grows on the road to the underworld or on graves, and is therefore unlucky, but in reality, it doesn't seem to be like that.
She was just a flower, with no particular meaning, but later people forcibly added many unpleasant connotations to it.
She didn't understand why people would give such a beautiful flower such a description, but it was true that the flower bloomed without leaves, and the leaves grew without flowers. She had wondered about that herself before.
However, she couldn't figure it out, but she just thought the flower was pretty.
