852 The Origin of the System

The next morning, Ji Qingyan woke up early to cook for Lin Yi.

To her, this was a blissful affair.

“It’s almost New Year’s Day. When do you plan to return to Yangcheng?” She asked during dinner.

“Around the 29th,” Lin Yi said, “After all, it’s the new year. There’s a lot of things that they need to prepare. I’ll go back and help.”

!!
“Hehe, then I’ll go with you.”

“Huh? Didn’t you say that you were going home for the New Year?”

“I don’t have to worry about my family. I can go with you first and come back on the 31st. Anyway, it’s only two hours from Zhonghai to Yangcheng. I’ll take a plane back on the 31st.”

“Isn’t that too hectic?”

“No, I used to go on business trips too. It’s alright.”

“Alright, let’s go together then. My mom can even give you a red packet. It’s free money. It’ll be a waste not to take it.”

“Mother Wang and the others are old. We should be the ones giving them money, okay?”

“That’s what you say, but as their daughter-in-law, they have to give you a red packet.”

Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi. “Are you hinting something at me?”

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Lin Yi coughed lightly. “Look at what you’re saying. Aren’t you judging a gentleman by your own narrow-mindedness? I’m not trying to hide anything. I’m purely describing this matter.”

Ji Qingyan chuckled. “In that case, let’s make a trip to my house when you have the time and ask my mother to give you a big red packet.”

“Come, give me a high five.”

Ji Qingyan covered her mouth and laughed. “You’re such a bad person.”

However, she still gave Lin Yi a high five.

After dinner, Lin Yi sent Ji Qingyan to the office and then went to Lingyun Group to kill time.

He spent the entire day playing his game.

During this period, he even received a call from Yan Ci, telling Lin Yi the details of the program.

Furthermore, she explained that the recording of the program was set for January 5th.

They planned to spend one month recording it, which meant that they’d finish before the New Year. This way, we can make it in time for the Spring Festival variety show season.

After careful calculation, he realized that there were only ten days until then. Lin Yi couldn’t wait anymore. He still had a mission to complete!

On the phone, Yan Ci also said that because they were filming on an isolated island, there was a high chance that they would use a boat at Wangjiang Dock. However, they had yet to decide the operator. This could be considered to be a silent plea toward Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn’t care about such a small matter, as long as it didn’t delay his mission.

Other than that, there was another piece of good news.

The private jet that he had bought on Yawan Island was ready. It was parked at Liang Jinming’s airport according to Lin Yi’s instructions.

In the next few days, Lin Yi could finally relax.

After thinking about it carefully, this was the first time he had been so free since he obtained the system.

“Is the system there?”

[I’ll be here even if you die.]

“Damn, you’re so rude!” Lin Yi said.

“Coincidentally, I have time today. Besides, we’ve known each other for so long. I’ll go and get some Maotai. Let’s have a heart-to-heart chat.”

[I’m an emotionless machine. I can’t be honest with you.]

“Don’t be like that,” Lin Yi said, “We met in a sea of people. This is fate. It shouldn’t be too much for us to chat.”

[What does the host want to know?]

“I want to know how you got here.”

[I can tell you how you die, but I can’t tell you how I came into being.]

“F*ck, system, you’re really good jokes. It’s almost like you have Douyin pre-installed. How much memory space do you have?”

After waiting for a few minutes, the system didn’t say anything. Lin Yi knew that his question was a little out of line and struck a nerve.

“System, don’t go, let’s talk.” Lin Yi said, “If I die, will you disappear too?”

[I will.]

“Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t die even if I died?”

[I will destroy myself.]

“How touching,” Lin Yi said, “Are you sure you can’t reveal your origins? Is there really an alien civilization in this world?”

[Prehistoric civilization.]

“Prehistoric civilization?”

Lin Yi was surprised. “Your existence clearly exceeds the ability of modern civilization, and there can’t be a prehistoric civilization that surpasses modern civilization, right? So how did you come about?”

[The prehistoric civilization I’m from is a civilization unknown to humans. But now, humans have already sensed the existence of the prehistoric civilization and are currently exploring it.]

“What the f*ck, I think I’ve touched upon a shocking secret.”

[This is not a secret in the eyes of the higher-ups. Host, you don’t have to feel that the prehistoric civilization is too mysterious.]

“Isn’t it mysterious though? It’s enough to make people’s imagination run wild,” Lin Yi complained.

[On Earth, the Atlantean and Mayan civilizations had both once existed. These were both branches of prehistoric civilization.]

After hearing the system’s words, Lin Yi understood a lot.

From a certain perspective, the prehistoric civilization did not seem to be as mysterious as he had imagined.

It was just a step into the unknown.

“When you phrase it that way, I understand.”

Lin Yi didn’t say anything else and fell into deep thought.

He felt like he had been wandering around the beginner village for so long.

This was too much.

He shook his head and dispelled all these nonsense.

The system said that these things were nothing in the eyes of the higher-ups.

In other words, a small number of core people had already grasped the secrets of this place.

It was just that he hadn’t reached that level yet.

Let’s take it slow.

Ring ring ring!

Just as Lin Yi was feeling bored, he received a call from Ji Qingyan.

“Mr. Lin, what are you busy with?” She asked sweetly.

“Sigh, don’t mention it. There are too many things to do at the company. I’m so busy. I haven’t even had a sip of water.”

“Really? Wouldn’t that be exhausting?”

“That’s right. Give me a massage when we get home.”

“But I heard from Yuanyuan that you seem to be very free. Apparently, you’ve been in a daze and playing games all morning. You don’t seem to have done anything.”

“He Yuanyuan, do you f*cking want to get f*cking fired?”

Lin Yi cursed in his heart and pretended to be deep. “Um, actually, playing games is very tiring.”

“That’s enough. I’m not going to care about you anymore.” Ji Qingyan smiled. “But now, I have a mission for you.”

“What mission?”

“It’s almost New Year’s Day. I’m rather busy. I’ll have to leave the purchasing of gifts to you.”

“Do you really need me to do such a thing? My mother took care of it herself.”

“The meanings are different. This is the first time I’ll be going back to celebrate the Lunar New Year with Mother Wang. We need to buy certain things, but you don’t need to trouble yourself with buying clothes for Mother Wang and her friends. I’ve already picked out their clothes, so you can just pick the gifts for the children.” Ji Qingyan said.

“Hurry up and go. Be good. Muaaaa!”
