Five generations of life, full of hardships and displacement.
Jiang Shining was indeed stunned for dozens of seconds before she realized what the robot meant. She couldn’t believe it. Before she knew it, those worlds and many difficulties and obstacles that she had thought she couldn’t get through were actually cleared just like that?
She had gotten used to struggling to survive in different worlds, making plans for the future of herself and her children, and how to survive. Even though she knew they were all characters in a book, after ten months of pregnancy, the mother and child were connected by heart, and they were no different from her real children, and she had a sincere heart for them… But it was all about to end. She was in a trance.
“You mean… I can go back to my original world?” Jiang Shining said slowly.
“You have already died in the world you were born in, so there is no way to return,” said the robot. “But you can go to other ordinary worlds, which are exactly the same as your previous world. And -“
The robot moved its mechanical joints, and a holographic screen appeared in front of Jiang Shining.
“Dear book-traverser No. 154800… No, Ms. Jiang Shining.” It said, “These are the points you have accumulated from completing five lifetimes of missions. You can exchange them for anything you want in the points mall.”
Jiang Shining saw that the number on the lower right corner showing her points balance had reached a terrifying level.
“Why do I have so many points? Is it the same for other book traversers?” Jiang Shining frowned.
“You are one of the best book-traversers.” The robot sighed. “You know, these numerous worlds actually come from highly civilized humans whose dimensions are higher than ours. In their world, they just casually write an article or a book, but they don’t know that their articles, whether carefully conceived or sloppily written, will eventually become real worlds in another dimension and continue to develop according to their settings.”
Jiang Shining naturally knew this. It was precisely because many high-dimensional humans were too sloppy when setting the settings, or simply venting, that many worlds that continued to develop based on the settings in their pens would eventually lead to destruction and collapse.
Even if the authors of high civilizations did not intend to write, the world they created was alive. Many people were not thoughtful and distorted the personalities of supporting characters too much to set off the protagonist. When they finished, the plot in the other world would become darker and darker due to the unbalanced settings.
That’s why the book-traversing system and book-traversing people came into being. Their mission was to fundamentally reverse those unbalanced worlds, break the original plot settings, and get the world in the book back on track.
Depending on the different personalities of the book traversers, each person’s role in the book was also different. The role assigned to Jiang Shining was the supporting mother. Other book traversers may become villains, passers-by, or cats and dogs. The protagonist basically could not be possessed because the protagonist carried the most ink and experience of the author of high civilization, so they could only start with the supporting characters and slowly change the plot.
“Other ordinary book traversers are already qualified if they can basically complete the task, but according to our speculation, the plot and world you have changed will eventually develop in the best form.” The robot said, “If you are given a score, each world will be around full marks, so these points also include rewards that originally belonged to you.”
After Jiang Shining understood where her points came from, she looked at the holographic panel and saw that it contained everything, from fine-tuning of personal appearance to hobbies, talents, temperament, and some weird things like fantasy “good guy cards” and “favorite cards”, as well as material properties such as houses.
She saw options like “charming”, “popular with men”, “popular with passers-by” and just swiped past them. She had been through many worlds and knew that overly unbalanced perfection was a flaw in itself.
The robot tilted its head as it watched Jiang Shining’s face scanned. “Don’t you want to set your appearance? You can only decide on these basic items once.”
“No.”
From the two ancient roles assigned to Jiang Shining before, one was a concubine in a palace fight, the other was a woman in the fairy world, both were extremely beautiful, and were the coquettish and slutty type. These beautiful characters actually aroused jealousy in the early stage. People were plotting against her everywhere or disliking her, making her life particularly difficult in the first few years. Moreover, the beauty of these two female supporting roles carried the malice of the high-dimensional author. It was precisely because of their beauty that they bullied and framed the protagonist, asking for trouble, and finally ended up having a bad ending.
The original wife of a big family in the Republic of China, who was only pretty but timid and annoying, made it easier for Jiang Shining to develop. After all, before the same disgust, the less pretty one seemed to be more easily despised. In many cases, appearance was a weapon, and even a double-edged sword.
Moreover, she no longer needed to use her looks or all her skills to win the sympathy of the protagonist or key figures. She could be herself. She was no longer a supporting role, and she did not want to be the protagonist, so the initial default ordinary appearance was fine.
Jiang Shining looked at the second page again, which was about personal talent adjustment. Just like in a game, one could adjust one’s intelligence, physical strength, agility, and the like.
“Are the skills I learned from these books going to stay with me?” she asked.
“Of course, how can you forget what you have learned in your head?” the robot said, “but there may be a difference between the mind and the body. For example, you have learned calligraphy and dance in the palace fighting world, but if your body is not responsive enough and your limbs are not coordinated, then naturally no matter how clear your mind is, your body will not be able to react.”
It seemed that talent adjustment was necessary. She was about to adjust it when the robot said, “Of course, in order to prevent the world’s balance from being disrupted, all adjustments are limited.”
Jiang Shining chose “excellent” for body coordination, commonly known as above average. Wisdom automatically selected her current level, and as for strength… Jiang Shining, who had experienced too many dangers, chose “highest” without hesitation.
You don’t need beauty, dancing, or painting, but you must keep the ability to save your life!
As for physical strength… adjust it to a higher level.
Jiang Shining finished adjusting herself and felt that the robot seemed to be looking at her, so she raised her head.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing… It’s just that I rarely see women adjust their strength and stamina to such a high level.” The robot said, “You can also adjust your charm to a higher level, so that naturally someone will protect you wholeheartedly.”
“Who will protect me?” Jiang Shining snorted, “Men? All men are pigs.”
In her five reincarnations, she not only had to fight against the heavens and the plot but also had to fight against scumbags in different fields. She seemed to have entered the sage mode and had no interest in men. Moreover, it was better to rely on herself than on others. In the world and era where women were dependent on men, she was like a pet with her life pinched.
It made her sad just thinking about it.
If she could live a peaceful life, she would rather live alone quietly than have anything to do with a man again.
Jiang Shining adjusted the charm to medium-low, but unexpectedly, the button returned to the middle.
“There are thresholds above and below the adjustment mode. You can adjust it higher, but the lowest value is set after the final result.” The robot said, “You can set it to the default, and the specific high or low will depend on your final setting.”
Okay. Jiang Shining looked at the other options again, all of which were set to random by default. She was too lazy to adjust them so carefully. Anyway, if she adjusted the strength so high, she had to adjust the other aspects to be normal for balance, so she turned the page again.
