Chapter 70: Upgrade Complete
It wasn’t just Gu Wanrong who wanted to learn more about “Gu Wanrong”‘s daily life and judge if she was doing well; “Gu Wanrong” felt the same.
They shared and exchanged details of their lives after their respective rebirths, chatting for a long time. A feeling of impending separation crept into their hearts.
“From now on, you won’t be lonely anymore. You have your grandparents by your side. And in another world, I’ll always be thinking of you.
As for your father, stepmother, and their family, you should continue to not take them to heart; if you don’t care, you won’t be sad.
Try not to drink too much in the future; alcohol is bad for your health.
And, always maintain a positive and optimistic outlook on life. If you ever feel pessimistic, don’t ever hurt yourself again with extreme actions.”
Gu Wanrong gave “Gu Wanrong” instructions, one by one.
This little sister might be optimistic and cheerful now, but Gu Wanrong clearly remembered when she had first crossed over into her body: feeling completely alone in the world, she had drowned her sorrows in alcohol, ultimately dying drunk.
“Sister, even though you’re alone in your world, I’ll be thinking of you every moment in my world. Don’t be afraid of loneliness and helplessness; with me, you’re not alone.
When you return, that world will no longer have the suffocating family ties that bound you. You’ll be happier and happier.
Also, my current job, I actually got the offer before you crossed over, Sister. That proves you’re excellent.
Didn’t you say you wanted to have your own career? You’ve already bravely taken the first step; you’re changing your introverted personality, and I believe you can do it.
Sister, I wish you’ll grow into a towering tree, always strong, always standing tall.”
“Gu Wanrong” also spoke longingly and reluctantly. She didn’t want Gu Wanrong to leave, but she knew that people from two different worlds would eventually have to part.
She knew how desperately Gu Wanrong had wanted to escape her family’s cage. Now that she had crossed over to another world, she hoped that she would soon be able to overcome the heavy shadows her family had cast upon her.
As they bid each other farewell, the endless space began to crumble from afar, moving towards them.
At the same time, their figures, like smoke blown away by the wind, gradually became blurry, until they finally disappeared completely.
“Sister…”
“Little Sister…”
At the last moment, they both called out to each other simultaneously.
“I have a system.”
“Me too.”
Their figures completely vanished.
The unspoken words:
“I have a system, and it has given me countless help and support. I will continue to grow on my life’s journey. My future will be brighter and better. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Suddenly, the world spun.
When Gu Wanrong opened her eyes again, she saw the familiar sight of her bedroom.
[System gift package distribution complete.]
Gu Wanrong, sitting on the sofa, was still dazed, not yet recovered from meeting her parallel-world self.
As time passed, Gu Wanrong gradually realized that this was a final goodbye.
“Goodbye, the shackles that bound me; goodbye, the introverted, self-deprecating, and sensitive me; goodbye, the weak, cowardly, and unsuccessful me.
New Gu Wanrong, hello.”
Gu Wanrong silently murmured in her heart, a determined and confident light shining in her beautiful, deep eyes.
“System, thank you,” Gu Wanrong said gratefully, coming back to her senses.
The system remained silent as always, not responding. Gu Wanrong continued, “System, what new functions have been added in this upgrade? Explain them.”
[This upgrade updates the system to version 2.0. New and optimized content within the system is as follows:]
[First, changes to cashback multipliers:
Daily (including Saturdays and Sundays): Double cashback, unlimited times;
Statutory holidays (no holidays): Ten times cashback on the day, three times cashback, no other cashback afterwards;
Statutory holidays: Twenty times cashback on the holiday, this cashback is once only, no other cashback afterwards;
Birthday, Spring Festival: Thirty times cashback once on the day, no other cashback afterwards.
Cashback for lending, gifting, and investment money transfers has been cancelled.]
[Second, system mall content update:
- A new Future Technology module has been added to the system mall.
- The unlocking conditions for the Future Technology module await the host’s exploration.]
[Third, system blind box update:
- Rule update: The host can spend 100 lottery draws to specify the blind box content.
- Content update: The system blind box now includes a Character Aura blind box.]
[Fourth, the system has added several complete sets of host identity information, awaiting the host’s future choices and unlocking.]
Gu Wanrong finished reading the system’s long list of updates. Besides the reduced cashback, the other updates were just that—updates that she couldn’t even see yet.
She reread the updates carefully and asked, “Specifying blind box content, what kind of specification? If I want to draw the equity of a certain company, can I directly specify that company?”
[Blind box content specification categories: Character attributes, special talents, fixed assets, company equity, future technology, character aura, special items.
After the host specifies the content of the blind box draw, the obtained blind box will mainly contain the specified content. The number of lottery draws spent will be related to the specified blind box content.]
After the system’s explanation, Gu Wanrong understood that she could only specify the large categories provided by the system; the exact number of draws still depended on whether she got what she wanted.
Then, Gu Wanrong opened the system mall page and saw that a new [Future Technology] section had indeed been added next to the [Skills] section.
With a light click on [Future Technology], a dazzling array of categories appeared before Gu Wanrong’s eyes—medical, agricultural, industrial, environmental, informational… covering all industry sectors.
Unfortunately, every option was grayed out and couldn’t be clicked to purchase. When she would be able to unlock these attractive items and make transactions, Gu Wanrong would have to find out herself.
Even so, Gu Wanrong was already drooling. She knew that possessing any one of these items would bring about enormous changes and achievements.
Finally, Gu Wanrong couldn’t resist her curiosity about the reduced cashback and asked the system, “Why have the number and multiplier of cashbacks decreased?”
[This is to maintain the world’s monetary system and ensure the sound operation of the financial market, so relevant parameters have been adjusted.]
“Okay.” Hearing this explanation, Gu Wanrong suddenly understood and expressed her understanding.
Gu Wanrong thought: Now that she was a billionaire, even if the amount and intensity of cashback were slightly reduced, the impact was negligible for someone with her vast wealth.
Moreover, after the system update, she could obtain other more valuable and practical resources from the system.
