[Life is indeed full of surprises, even I miss some important components.]
Ling Qingyu almost laughed, hearing personally from Miss System. Missing components? Did it mean Miss System having a problem with her logic? After all, she addressed herself as a machine.
Clearly, Ling Qingyu knew she was never a system but an existence that pretended to be, since personal emotions and tsundere vibes could be felt from miles away.
'Well, aren't you thinking in the wrong direction beginning from the first step?' Ling Qingyu asked a good question.
[How?]
'Well, you've told me there are two novel-like worlds on this planet. One is harem male, collecting women as decorations non-stop; the other is abusive sadomasochistic drama.'
[So?!]
Ling Qingyu wanted to slap Miss System's head if it existed. She had already hinted at the obvious.
'Please that means this world is messed up since the beginning. It's like a sieve where different worlds fit in like a new realm. So many combinations of novels, don't you think the answer is already displayed to you.'
[You're correct, but a mere two examples don't prove your conjecture. What if both exist in a single universe? Every person is a protagonist in their stories. By your logic, every world is a mess.]
'Damnit, don't you get it? It's so obvious, even you can see how much luck is bestowed on the protagonists, especially the two male leads. However, I admit I didn't take a single universe probability into consideration.'
[I understand what you meant. You're making a hypothesis, whether this world is broken from the beginning or its boundary layer is diminishing.]
Ling Qingyu nodded.
[With my surveillance the latter is impossible.]
'What about the first? Try to scan carefully one more time.'
[Okay—*sigh*— Hmm?]
'Did you find anything?'
[It seems your statement is true. When I look closely, multiple realms like stories are combined here.]
Soon, the item, Miss System told her, was brought forward. It was nothing but an ancient tablet with scriptures of traditional Chinese.
It was 2 feet long and one foot wide. In contrast to the bracelet, she really felt nothing. There must be something strange to attract Miss System.
She had asked the tablet's function and Miss System's reply induced mysteriousness. Only those destined should understand the scripture inscribed on the tablet.
The suggestion given by Miss System was to show it to Tang Ziyi for maximum benefit. With her full trust in Miss System, she decided to follow her advice.
She wasn't too greedy or demanding. With internal space storage, no other people had the ability to possess one, Ling Qingyu was satisfied.
What was the matter with gifting one to Tang Ziyi? If her confidantes could share her burden and goals, Ling Qingyu was happy to diverge some hidden news, as long as they brought benefits, provided they were trustworthy enough to prevent the secrets from spreading.
The tablet, similar to her bracelet, drew little attention. No background except for the timeline and translated poem from the inscribed text.
Those, who were interested in poetry and collectibles did bid but in the end, it belonged to Ling Qingyu without problems. Although she received inquired gazes from the girls, Ling Qingyu shook her head.
It was indeed weird for her to participate twice in bidding on two strange items. Even some people like Lin Fan took note of her behavior and frowned, contemplating her intent.
Ling Qingyu's eyes told them, she would explain later and no one continued to press further. Everyone fixed their posture for the final moment.
The last one to be auctioned. Based on the premise of saving the best for last, Ling Qingyu leaned forward, her arm resting on the table.
But when the mystery was unveiled, the hall went quiet, mostly from disbelief. Glances exchanged, probably ascertaining whether what they saw together was serious and the truth. Everyone had suspicions of their eyes.
Some even rubbed them. Yet, one similar reaction was shared between women, who blushed after seeing what unfolded before them. Ling Qingyu's face also turned unnatural.
Tang Ziyi coughed uncomfortably but as an old mature one, her skin was thicker. In contrast, the rest ripened like a strawberry fruit.
The men, on the other hand, laughed hard and some whistled from the crown echoed lecherously. They were excited beyond control but most thought someone might have made a mistake on the stage.
Such a problem occurred rarely but it always happened by accident or some parties intending to undermine the host party.
All the commotions were for nothing else but the item unveiled. Ling Qingyu saw nothing except for a pair of cute yet sexy female underwear.
Even a doll to display dresses was included. The color lining resembled jaguar skin with slits and a cute Pikachu figure in an important place.
