The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 1403 - 518: Rewards (3)

Nowadays, Zhao Yan is not just any ordinary young girl; she has adequate resources.

Marriage and such are no longer shortcuts for her to change her destiny or achieve social mobility; they’re simply optional choices.

Zhao Yan holds a glass of red wine, laughing and joking with her roommates, yet she feels an inexplicable melancholy.

It seems her original destiny shouldn’t have been like this.

But still, she stands at the top, possessing absolute freedom to choose and a vast field of choice!

"Ding! Antivirus task completed, reward: 6 points!"

"Ding! Reward: 1000 achievement points."

"Ding! Received a reader’s reward of 20,000 Dian Niang Coins."

"Ding! Obtained ’He Xiutian’s gratitude,’ reward: 1 soul fragment."

After attending Yan Yan’s grand wedding, and personally witnessing Zhao Yan’s send-off, He Tiantian chose not to spend her entire life in the novel world but decided to withdraw midway.

According to the system’s routine, a strand of consciousness from her Divine Soul continues to maintain the ’He Xiutian’ persona, with a ’triple’ staying in the mission world for a lifetime.

As He Tiantian’s Divine Soul returned to the library space, a familiar mechanical voice sounded deep inside her sea of consciousness.

Only, after a few ’ding’ sounds, He Tiantian heard a different type of reward—

"He Xiutian’s gratitude? What is this? And that soul fragment, what kind of reward is this?"

He Tiantian asked curiously.

Student Xiao D twisted its fluffy little round body, somewhat sheepishly saying, "Sorry, Tiantian, I don’t know either!"

He Tiantian:...

Ha, even Student Xiao D, the intelligent assistant, doesn’t know?

This reward seems quite mysterious.

"If you don’t know, go and ask, won’t you? Student Xiao D, I shouldn’t have to teach you this, right?"

Taking a deep breath, He Tiantian "gently" reminded.

Student Xiao D:... Ugh, what a terrifying woman!

Its fur all trembled in fright.

Student Xiao D dared not delay; after all, this one before it is a Half-step Villain.

It quickly rolled away to find help from the main system.

After a while, Student Xiao D returned, looking deflated.

It weakly said, "Dear, I asked, the main system said your authority is insufficient—"

He Tiantian raised an eyebrow, "Is my authority insufficient, or is your level too low?"

Student Xiao D:... So heartbreaking, Tiantian, what happened to being intimate partners?

We were ’each other’ surviving together for thousands of years in the mission world, is this how you hurt your partner?!

But He Tiantian remained unmoved, arms crossed, coldly eyeing Student Xiao D.

Student Xiao D shrank a bit, feeling guilty, yet finally stretched its neck, acting tough and said, "Both! My level is low, but your authority is indeed insufficient!"

"However, this reward should be very powerful. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such authority settings!"

Student Xiao D analyzed seriously.

He Tiantian simply rolled her eyes at it: isn’t that stating the obvious!

But seeing Student Xiao D’s posture, He Tiantian knew she wouldn’t get an answer from it.

He Xiutian’s gratitude?

Soul fragment*1?

Though she doesn’t know what purpose this reward serves, it has to be important.

And why the reward came about, He Tiantian roughly guessed.

It might be because she actively sought the reasons for He Xiutian’s "madness" in the novel world, somewhat clearing her of some accusations.

Moreover, He Tiantian didn’t just do tasks for the sake of it; she truly saved Zhao Yan, making her confident, proud, resilient, and independent.

Zhao Yan didn’t become a Sacrificial Lamb or the evil Female Supporting Character; instead, she became a good companion to the female lead and the male lead, achieving a happy and fulfilling life.

He Xiutian may only be a novel character, but in the world derived from the novel, she has an independent, complete personal consciousness.

Seeing He Tiantian’s excellent performance, He Xiutian was very satisfied, even growing "gratitude."

Hmm, this is a different kind of reward than before.

Previously, if He Tiantian performed well and earned the recognition of the original self or novel characters, she’d gain achievement points.

And the reason He Tiantian helped He Xiutian in the novel world was not only to settle the cause and effect with the original self but also hoping to earn some achievement points.

He Tiantian didn’t expect that the return this time would be so big, directly unlocking a "new reward" for her.

Though she doesn’t know its specific role, seeing the main system being so prudent, it should be a very high-level reward, potentially having a crucial impact on He Tiantian’s future.

Sensing He Tiantian’s "complaints," Student Xiao D laughed awkwardly twice, then quickly diverted the topic, "Tiantian, continue with missions, or return to reality?"

She’d likely continue doing missions, considering she just unlocked a new reward.

However, He Tiantian always surprises Student Xiao D and, after thinking for a moment, said: "Better return to reality!"
