The Transmigration Missions Are Not Scientific Ch.20

Chapter 20- Campus novel (19)

“Why?!”

The first thing Gu Anran saw when she opened her eyes was Hong Qingyi roaring madly at the ball of light floating in the air. Looking around, it seems they have returned to the system’s space…wait….we’re back?

“What is the dear player asking? Since the player did not have enough points to exchange for staying in that world, this system brought you back to this space. Of course, this system made sure that the main missions were complete before returning.” The ball of light spoke as if this was a matter of course and its tone was relaxed. 

“But we didn’t receive any notifications of the main missions being finished?” Gu Anran frowned. 

“Nope! You’re all done!” Saying so, the ball of light made a screen appear with the favorability ratings of 4 people listed: the female lead, female supporting lead, the male lead, and supporting male lead. Each one had a progress bar that filled up all the way with time marks for every time it increased…it was correct…the favorability ratings reached 100 for all 4 last night (the female lead’s rating towards Gu Anran, the female supporting lead’s rating towards Hong Qingyi, and the male lead and supporting male leads’ favorability ratings towards each other), but why was there no prompt from the system? And the third main mission about defeating the villain leads, was that fulfilled?

As if it could see Gu Anran’s doubts, the ball of light quickly said,

“The system reminds the players in a timely manner, however, if the player did not hear my notifications, you cannot blame the system! As for the third missions….your parents in that world have helped you complete it. The Shangguan family was effectively crushed, the female villain lead was sent to a mental ward and the villain male lead was sent to prison.”

“But we didn’t do it!” Hong Qingyi yelled out in protest and grabbed the ball of light, shaking it furiously. 

“As long as the mission is finished, no matter who finishes, it counts. After all, there is no rule saying it has to be the players who finish it, right?” The ball of light broke free from Hong Qingyi’s grasp and floated back into the air.

“Alright, now I will display the total earnings of the two players.”

A lot of sereos appeared on the screen and then rapidly began to change, spinning around until it stopped. 

89,000? After completing the main missions, this is how much we get? Gu Anran looked at it in surprise and then asked,

“What happened afterwards? What happened to the two people we left behind?”

“Huh? After the players left that world, we lost connections to it, so how would this system know what happened?” The ball of light circled around in the air. 

“How can this be…Little Qing…” Gu Anran dejectedly lowered her head and noticed that her fellow party member, Hong Qingyi was in a similarly depressed state. Hong Qingyi sat against the wall, holding her legs to her chest while her eyes filled with tears. 

No, no, no! If both of us stay in this state, how will we be able to move on to the next worlds?! 

“Ahem…so…when will we be going to the next world?”

“Eh? The next transmigration will take place in five minutes. During this waiting period….” Two more screens appeared, each one with the data of the two, but now there was an extra row that allowed them to allocate points into either strength or intelligence. A total of 10 points were given. 

“Every time the players finish clearing the missions in a world, 10 points will be given and the players can choose to allocate them as they wish. Although it doesn’t seem like much at first, later on….well…this system will let the players find out themselves.”

Gu Anran looked at her information and decided to put all her points into strength. In her opinion, her IQ was high enough, but her physical strength was really lacking. Therefore it must be improved….just as she thought so, in a blink of an eye, the data changed. 

“Qingyi…” Gu Anran was just about to knock Hong Qingyi out of her depressed daydreaming, but Hong Qingyi already made her move and put all her points into strength as well.

“Hai, hai! Now that the points have been allocated, would the players like to draw from the shop’s lottery? Right now, this system is offering a discount, so each draw will only be 995 points~~ Dear players, please seize this once in a lifetime opportunity~~”

“….” What’s with the annoying salesman’s imitation? 

“What can we get from this lottery?” Hong Qingyi stood up, her back straight, as if she had recovered back into her original happy go lucky self. However, after knowing Hong Qingyi for so long, Gu Anran knew that this was all just a forced front. Well, at least they can smoothly move on to the next world.

“This lottery~~will be the same as the mission lottery~ Once you press the button, it will land on an item from the shop. As for whether you can draw an item that is equivalent or exceeding the value of points, that will be based on the player’s luck. 

“I have the question. About the original price before the discount…” She hopes it’s not what she is guessing it is….

“Eh….the original price~~ Of course it’s much higher, but this system cheats neither the young or old, completely fair-”

“1000 points?” Gu Anran interrupted and guessed directly. 

“Y-You! How did you know…no, wait…no! That’s definitely not what it was originally! This system is not that terrible!”

“……”

“……”

Sorry..but you are that terrible…

“Do we want to participate?” Gu Anran glanced over at Hong Qingyi.

“Let’s do it. If your luck is good we might get something amazing.” Hong Qingyi nodded.

“Then we will each draw once.” 

“Great~ Thank you for your patronage~~”

Gu Anran took the lead and stepped up. The lottery panel appeared and she pressed the button, watching as it stopped on….

“Good guy…card?” Gu Anran asked, her eyebrows twitching.

“Congratulations player! From now on, every person who meets you for the first time will have an automatic favorability rating of 20 towards the player. Of course, the subsequent rating will go up or down based on the player’s actions.”

“Hehe…” This is actually pretty useful?

Next up, Hong Qingyi pressed the button and the lottery stopped on another image. 

“Cooking skill (Master Grade)?” 

“Congratulations, dear player~ Now no matter what you make, whether it be instant noodles or microwavable frozen foods, it will taste as delicious as the cuisine made from a five star chef. 

“This seems a bit useful…” Hong Qingyi nodded thoughtfully. 

Gu Anran glanced silently at her prize and then looked at Hong Qingyi’s…tch. Hey system, it’s bad karma to bully people! (/#＝皿＝)/_|______|_

“Okay then! Will the dear players please prepare to be teleported again! Remember, the main missions will be the same as last time!” As soon as the system said those words, Gu Anran’s vision went black once again.

“Miss, Miss, it’s time to wake up! It’s your turn to go in!” 

The loud voice made Gu Anran frown, and coupled with the dizziness from the transmigration, she angrily opened her eyes, ready to scold the person who dared to bother her. 

In front of her was a spacious corridor and on both sides were rows of young men and young women wearing formal outfits while waiting in their seats. Furthermore, she was sitting in the first seat next to the door. Even the man in front of her was wearing a western suit looking like her was in his early thirties. He was frowning at her and everyone else’s eyes were focused on her. 

What’s with this situation? Gu Anran felt puzzled. Then she looked down, and in her hands was her information, her credentials, resume, recommendation letters, etc. Wait, is this for an interview? 

“Miss, if you’re not going to go in, then please don’t waste everyone else’s time.” Wang Moyan originally held a slightly good opinion of this girl because she was a rather beautiful woman, but now his favorability had dropped instantly from her unresponsiveness and inattention.

“Ah…I’m sorry.” Gu Anran quickly stood up and following the man’s instructions, she walked inside. The room was rather large and the inside was neat…no…it couldn’t be considered neat because other than the chair facing the desk of 7 people, there was nothing else in the room. 

She bowed towards the seven people sitting at the large desk. 

“Please sit.” A cold female voice ringed out, but caused Gu Anran to shake. This voice was very familiar to her! 

The same long and black hair that flowed down to her waist. Those exquisite features and that tall yet curvy body. However, previously, she gave off the cheerful and lively vibe but now she would be classified as a cool iceberg. Gu Anran didn’t want to admit it but this is Mu Qingli….her Little Qing…

---

“Ah…” Gu Anran flung herself onto the bed, exhausted. She never expected she would meet Little Qing so soon, right after her transmigration at that…and an unexpected interview right when she arrived. A really long interview too! 

“Hehehe, dear players, why aren’t you praising this system! This is all due to this system’s hard work and efficiency! Give me some credit!” The ball of light said in a proud tone, receiving a pillow to its face (?) in response. 

Gu Anran turned to look at the Hong Qingyi humming in the kitchen. Today, while she interviewed to be Little Qing’s secretary, coincidentally, Hong Qingyi interviewed to be Chi Mengyan’s secretary. Thus, this was their current situation. 

This world’s setting is the novel called, 「I will melt your heart」A gentle male x iceberg female type of story. A rather cliche story too. The plot was pretty predictable: the male lead leaves a good impression on the female lead through a work meeting and then they develop feelings through a series of incidents. Then the villain leads run out to die and so the female lead and male lead join hands to defeat them. They take over the male villain lead’s company, send the villains to the mental wards and then they all live happily ever after, riding off into the sunset.

The current female lead is the vice-president of the first-class Mu company and the female supporting lead is her trusted aide, also in a high management position. However, if the female lead and supporting female lead are still the same as last time (at least in name)…is the male lead and supporting male lead still Duan Hongwu and Song Wenyan?

“System, is the female lead and supporting female lead, Mu Qingli and Chi Mengyan, the same for every world?”

“En…because that’s how it was registered as!” The ball of light struggled to get free from the pillow it was trapped under.

“Registered? What do you mean?”

“Nothing, it’s nothing! The player does not need to know~” Although the ball of light still used the same playful tone, Gu Anran felt something was wrong. Did she overlook something?

“Hey! Come and eat!” Hong Qingyi yelled from the diner table. 

“Ok!” Gu Anran quickly got up from the bed and quickly raced over to the table. Whaaaa…smells so good! Sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish, shredded korean cabbage, shredded potato stir fry, chicken with cashew nuts, loofah clam soup…wait, somehow this amount seems off?

“Qingyi, there’s only the two of us, how come you cooked….five dishes and one soup?” Do you think we’re pigs? Gu Anran of course didn’t say that last part out loud. 

“Hahaha, I feel really happy, so I made a little more.” Hong Qingyi sat across from Gu Anran nonchalantly and handed her a bowl of rice. 

….This is no longer ‘a little more’, this is already enough to feed five or six people, right, right?!

“Forget it. I’ll just pack some for lunch if I don’t finish it.” Gu Anran shrugged, and immediately threw the problem out of the window. First, I need to satisfy my stomach!
