Chapter 221 Upgrading the Adobe House
Xu Yingying: "Thank you for what? Us?..."
Li Tongxin looked at Xu Yingying with gratitude and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period. If it weren't for you, I might still be obsessed with it, thinking that all this is someone else's fault, but in fact, I am just thinking too much."
Xu Yingying replied softly, somewhat embarrassedly: "I didn't do anything."
Xu Yingying knew that the girl before her was not the Li Tongxin from the mission world, but the target of the novice mission. She was the real Li Tongxin, not the Li Tongxin she had met in the mission world.
Li Tongxin looked at Xu Yingying seriously and said, "I used to always blame other people for my problems, but never considered that I might have my own problems. But your visit this time has made me realize this."
Xu Yingying: "You just didn't think of it for a moment, even though it wasn't me. You would also..."
Li Tongxin: "I know I won't figure it out on my own. After all, I never figured it out before you showed up."
Xu Yingying: "Maybe you were just influenced by what 'Xu Yingying' said before, which is why you have those inappropriate thoughts."
Li Tongxin shook her head slightly in denial, then continued, "No, I know I have problems too. Although what my cousin said can be helpful, I still need to listen to it."
Xu Yingying: "That's because you are still young!"
Li Tongxin: "No, being young is not an excuse. I completely ignored the love and care my family gave me. I only saw the care and concern my family showed my cousin, and mistakenly thought that it was because my cousin was so outstanding in all aspects, so my mother liked her more. But in fact, my mother loved me the most. It was just that I didn't realize it until you came to complete the task. I had been paying attention to your every move, and then I realized how stupid I was."
Xu Yingying: "As long as you can finally understand these principles, that's all that matters."
Xu Yingying watched Li Tongxin's demeanor change from gloomy to cheerful. She was very happy for her, and her first mission was probably a success.
Xu Yingying: "Where are you going next?"
Li Tongxin: "I don't know either, but there will always be a place I should go."
Xu Yingying: "Will we meet again?"
Li Tongxin: "I don't know either, but the person you want to see may not be me."
Li Tongxin's words reminded Xu Yingying that the Li Tongxin in front of her was the real Li Tongxin, and the Li Tongxin she had been with for almost a month was just a character created by part of her memories of the Li Tongxin in front of her.
Xu Yingying: "What about her?"
Li Tongxin: "If your fate with them has ended, you will not have the chance to see them again. But if there is still fate between you, you will always meet again."
After hearing this, Xu Yingying fell into a brief contemplation.
Is it "fate"? Will they and I meet again?
Just as Xu Yingying was lost in thought, Li Tongxin gradually disappeared from in front of her. When Xu Yingying looked up and wanted to ask something, Li Tongxin was no longer there.
Is it really over?
Xu Yingying knows that many things are beyond her control, including the encounters, acquaintances, and understandings between people.
Maybe it’s just like what Li Tongxin said just now, we will meet again if we are destined to.
You don't need to force yourself.
When Xiaowu came back, he found Xu Yingying sleeping on the bed in the thatched hut. He tried to wake Xu Yingying up and said, "Host, I'm back."
In her dream, Xu Yingying heard Xiaowu calling her.
Gradually, consciousness returned, and I opened my eyes. Looking around, I found myself still in my own system space. The thatched hut remained the same. It hadn't changed at my level; it seemed only the width of the system space had changed.
Xu Yingying: "Xiaowu, what do you want to tell me?"
"Host, you have successfully completed the novice mission. In addition to your level upgrade, you have also gained 5000 points. Including the remaining points from before, you now have 5198 points." Xiao Wu said happily to Xu Yingying.
After hearing Xiaowu's words, Xu Yingying looked at her dilapidated thatched hut again.
Then he said, "Then I can upgrade my thatched cottage now, right?"
Xu Yingying felt that once she had money, the first thing she would do was to improve her living space. After all, wasn't the point of earning points to make her life more comfortable?
"Yes, the host only needs 4500 points to upgrade your thatched hut into an adobe house." Xiao Wu replied to Xu Yingying.
"What!?" Xu Yingying made a loud noise.
Xu Yingying: "This is so inhumane. It's just turned into an adobe house. It almost swallowed up all my points. This adobe house is simply a money-eating beast."
"Host, we will be able to earn it back soon." Xiao Wu thought Xu Yingying was worried about running out of points.
"Hey, why can't the thatched house be directly upgraded to a brick and tile house?" Xu Yingying asked angrily.
"Sure, you can upgrade the thatched house into a brick house by spending points." Xiao Wu responded positively, not noticing that Xu Yingying was in an even more depressed mood after hearing this.
"Then if I upgrade to a mud house first and then to a brick house, I will need more points." Xu Yingying asked in a low voice.
"Just consume points." Xiaowu replied.
Xu Yingying thought to herself, it really doesn't make any difference, it's just a change of scenery. This isn't bad either! After all, the point of earning these points is to be spent.
"Okay, then let's upgrade this thatched hut into an adobe house first!" Xu Yingying finally made up her mind. She felt that she really needed to change the environment of the system space.
"No problem, host. Now I will deduct 4500 points from your points to upgrade the thatched hut into an adobe house. You still have 698 points left." Xiao Wu's voice was crisp and pleasant, as if with a hint of excitement.
As Xiaowu finished his words, a flash of light appeared, and the dilapidated thatched hut instantly vanished. In its place stood a brand-new adobe house, its walls made of rammed earth and its roof covered with thick straw. While the adobe house still looked simple, it was a marked improvement over the previous thatched hut.
Xu Yingying stared wide-eyed at the adobe house that had suddenly appeared before her in disbelief. A surge of joy welled up in her heart, and she was filled with anticipation for the future. This new environment gave her an inexplicable sense of intimacy and warmth, as if she had stepped back into the past.
