516 You Know Too Much
The system said, “There are many situations. For example, you’re heavily injured. Your life signs are unstable. Your body can’t stabilize your soul. This situation is like a cracked cup filled with water. The cup could break at any time and the water inside would spill out. Or when you’re greatly frightened and your mental strength is extremely unstable, it will also cause your soul to be unstable. In addition, just like the system prompt you received when you first transmigrated here, if you fail the mission, you will be sent back to the moment before you die in your original world. All of these are possible, and they include but are not limited to the three situations above.”
Jiang Xun said, “I remember you saying that the third scenario was that I had to return to the Jiang family according to the original owner’s destiny. I had already returned back then, so I had completed the original owner’s destiny. After that, the original owner was going against Feng Nianzhen and Jiang Yuexi. I chased Feng Nianzhen out of the Jiang family and didn’t let Jiang Yuexi take advantage of her. I guess this counts as going against them?”
“Also, the original owner died at the age of 20. I’ve already celebrated my 20th birthday this year, which means that I’ve already completed the original owner’s set fate line, so in the future, there won’t be a situation where my soul will return to the original world due to the third situation,” Jiang Xun said.
“So, so far, the premise of the soul instability is to ensure that my body is healthy, without injury, without illness, and that my mental strength is stable, without being frightened.” Jiang Xun touched her chin and pondered. “It’s not a big problem. I haven’t met anyone who can beat me yet. Besides, I’ve been paying so much attention to training my body, so my body is in great shape. If I am sick, I can just take some medicine. If normal medicine doesn’t work, I’ll just go to the system store to buy it. Anyway, I have enough merit points now.”
!!
“As for mental strength, I think that besides being frightened, being stimulated is also one of the ways to affect the stability of mental strength, including large emotional fluctuations.” Jiang Xun analyzed. “Although you only mentioned the possibility of unstable mental strength, there are many situations that can cause mental strength fluctuations.”
Jiang Xun nodded. “I understand. I’ll pay more attention to this in the future.”
The system was speechless.
What do you understand?
How do you understand so much?
I’ve only given you three general directions, and you’ve already come up with such a detailed summary?
You’re making me seem useless as a system!
You already know.
You know too much!
“So by stabilizing my soul for five years, does that mean that even if this happens, my soul can still stay firmly in my body?” Jiang Xun asked.
“That’s right,” the system replied.
Jiang Xun nodded. “That’s good. The system isn’t too mischievous this time.”
The system replied, “Be reasonable. Although the system is quite diligent in harvesting merit points, it has always been very generous in providing rewards.”
Jiang Xun did not agree with this.
She couldn’t let the system get away with it.
After learning about the new soul stabilizing reward, Jiang Xun went to the skills store in the system store.
She opened the acting skills category.
It just so happened that she was filming “Under The Starry Sky” right now, and she was a complete newbie in film acting.
Previously, on Weibo, so many people had spoken up for her and supported her.
Deng Xu, Zilong, Haoulun, Mingguan, Yiwu, Ji Cheng, Shuidong, as well as Xiangyou, Qiyao, Zhang Jian, and many others who had worked with her before, all stood up to publicly support her.
She didn’t want her performance to be disappointing, and she didn’t want her supportive friends to be ridiculed because she didn’t act well enough.
Even if she didn’t have this mission, she still wanted to unlock some corresponding acting skills.
The skills she had unlocked before were all acting skills.
After that, there were skills for film performance, drama performance, stage play performance, and skit performance.
She had to unlock all of them to complete the first high-level mission.
Under each of these categories, there were ten small skill options.
To unlock each category option, she would have to spend 5000 merit points.
The small skill options under each category were unlocked, and each option required another 5000 points.
“This is simply a Matryoshka doll!” Jiang Xun exclaimed.
There were countless Matryoshka dolls.
“It’s really not easy to earn the soul stabilizing reward for these five years.” Jiang Xun sighed.
Originally, she thought that her current merit points were still okay. Although the merit points required to unlock a high-level mission were quite high, according to her expectations, she should be able to complete two missions at once.
But now, it seemed that it would be good enough to complete one.
The four acting skills required 20000 merit points.
Under each acting skill category, there were ten small skills that needed to be activated separately. There were a total of forty small acting skills.
Each skill required 5000 merit points, so unlocking all 40 small skills required 200000 merit points.
“Good Lord, this is only the first mission, and it needs me to spend 200000 merits to complete it.” Jiang Xun was stunned. “It’s said to be a mission reward, but I clearly bought it with merit points. Can’t I just use my merit points to buy it? And you still insist on completing some mission.”
Jiang Xun pouted and said, “Who was the one who said that the system gave generous rewards for the mission? This isn’t a generous mission reward. I spent my hard-earned merit points to exchange for it. What kind of mission reward is this?”
The system was speechless.
The host is getting harder and harder to fool.
The system said, “Host, as your good partner, I have to remind you that the reason you could complete this mission for only 200000 points is that you’ve already unlocked quite a few acting skills. Otherwise, 200000 points is nowhere near enough.”
Jiang Xun was speechless.
No matter what, she needed acting skills now, so she didn’t think too much. She took out 200000 merits and unlocked all of them.
[High-level mission completed. Reward: 10 more years of lifespan and 5 more years of soul stabilization.]
Jiang Xun looked at her system panel again. She still had 270795 merit points left.
Jiang Xun heaved a sigh of relief. She didn’t expect to lose 300000 merit points before she could even warm up her 570000 merit points.
Jiang Xun looked at the 270000 merit points and instantly felt that it was not a lot.
She was even hesitating if she should immediately start the next mission.
“Let’s open it and see what the next mission is. It’ll be easier to know about it earlier,” Jiang Xun mumbled and went to open the new high-level mission.
[Spend 100000 merit points to unlock the high-level mission. Yes or no?]
…
Jiang Xun chose [Yes].
[High-level mission: Unlock all dance skills. Mission reward: Increase your lifespan by 10 years and stabilize your soul for 5 years.]
The reward remained the same, just like the previous mission.
As for unlocking all the dance skills, Jiang Xun decided to put it aside for now.
