Chapter 147 The Useless Prince's Power Seizure (25)
Chapter 147 The Useless Prince's Power Seizure (25)
[Congratulations, host! You have completed the stage mission: Lead the mission objective out of the palace. You have received 1000 coins, which can be used to purchase items in the system shop.]
[A random reward has been triggered, granting you 1 "Time Compression Card".]
Before dawn the next day, Jingli received a notification from the counterfeit goods system.
The counterfeit system assigned the transmigrator the task of reforming Yu An and taking him out of the palace. Lang Yue's plan accidentally completed this task, but Jing Li was not interested.
The world is progressing too slowly, surrounded by dangers and uncertainties, or perhaps due to excessive pollution. A sense of anxiety always surrounds Jingli, making even breathing feel tense.
It wasn't time to get up yet, so Jingli lay in bed and opened the items that the counterfeit system had rewarded him with.
The Time Compression Card works similarly to the previous Speed-Up Card, but the difference is that the Speed-Up Card essentially speeds up the world's progress, while the Compression Card is like directly dragging the progress bar.
The point of pull is not controlled by the user, but skips the repetitive daily routine and arrives at the user's next key point.
6058 and Jingli also woke up when the system notification sounded. He shook the little bird's head and his eyes lit up when he saw the reward.
[6058: Little Fish, wait for me!]
The observer system has a worldline deduction function. The development trajectory of each small world is not predetermined. Just like the "worldline" in 6058's hands, it is the result of deduction based on the character Jingli herself and the basic situation of the entire world.
The system's functions are somewhat limited by pollution, but Jingli is bound to the system, and making inferences based on his personal situation is still within his capabilities.
[6058: The struggle for the throne has just begun. The eldest and second princes both have inherent weaknesses. You and the other princes are still young. The situation will not change much in the next few years.]
The eldest prince has difficulty walking, and the second prince's intellectual level is slightly lower than that of the other princes; these are only the obvious facts.
The second prince's birth mother is a cousin of the current emperor, and as the second prince grows up, more problems will be exposed.
[6058: If that's the case, this card came at a very opportune time.]
The counterfeit system has a mastermind behind it all. The reason it rewarded Yu An with a compression card after he left the palace was that it hoped the transmigrator could use it after Yu An was far away from the palace. In this way, Yu An's movements would not interfere with the affairs of the palace, and they might be able to achieve some other goals.
But now the card is in Jingli's hands. Jingli is in the palace and has already been involved in the power struggle. No matter how the situation in the palace changes, it is impossible to bypass Jingli so easily.
Moreover, Yu An's departure was not as complete as the counterfeit system had determined.
As a candidate to serve as a shadow guard in Jingli, Yu An's special training must have included understanding all of Jingli's habits.
They may not be able to meet, but that doesn't mean Yu An won't come back.
After discussing it with 6058, Jingli decided to wait another half month. During this time, Jingli would deal with the remaining shadows in the palace and observe Langyue's plans.
At the same time, Jingli is also working on building her own network of relationships.
On the second day after Zeng Yuan caught a "cold," Jing Li asked Lang Yue for a few people to send a batch of medicinal herbs to the Zeng family in his own name, and "instructed" the Zeng family to take good care of Zeng Yuan, as the Third Prince was still waiting for Zeng Yuan's interesting trinkets.
At the same time, Yuan Lanying's residence also received a gift from Jingli. There was no particular reason; it was just that the Third Prince was considerate of the recent cold weather and did not want Yuan Lanying to fall ill as a result, so he sent someone else instead.
This undoubtedly conveys an attitude to the Zeng and Yuan families.
His study companions in the scenic area can only be Zeng Yuan and Yuan Lanying. He hopes that these two families will manage their own affairs well and not provoke him.
Some people think this shows Jingli's strong sense of loyalty and righteousness, while others think that Jingli lacks vision and is not up to the task.
Regardless of these assessments, Zeng Yuan and Yuan Lanying's status in their own household has at least been significantly elevated on the surface.
Jingli and 6058 also knew the two men's character, and after this incident, their loyalty to Jingli would only increase.
For Jingli, it's a small win-win situation.
After some time, the impact of Jingli's birthday banquet faded slightly, and life in the palace returned to calm after a brief period of turmoil.
During this period, Jingli received no further news from Yu An.
This can't be rushed.
Two weeks later, 6058 conducted another simulation, and the results were almost identical to the previous one.
[6058: Use it. The compression card can identify key nodes. When you wake up next time, Yu An might be back.]
Jingli lay on the bed and took a deep breath.
Using this card is like opening a blind box. Jingli hopes that time can move forward faster, and it would be best if he could directly become the emperor and have the power to rule the world.
At the same time, Jingli was also afraid that time was moving too fast, and by the next point, he and Yu An would have drawn their swords and become mortal enemies.
Ultimately, it's because Jingli and Yu'an are separated by the blood feud of the previous generation in this world.
The two have vastly different identities in this world, and with the added monitoring of the pseudo-world consciousness, Jingli cannot reveal too much of her true feelings to him.
Yu An always held back from him. Looking at the barely passing level of affection in the first stage, even knowing that Yu An was the reincarnation of a god and her lover from the previous two worlds, Jing Li couldn't confidently make any guarantees about their relationship.
6058 understands these concerns.
He didn't urge him, but quietly accompanied Jingli to prepare mentally and waited for him to make a decision.
The candlelight outside had burned out most of its flame, and Jingli let out a long sigh.
[Keiri: I'm ready.]
[6058: Then use it. It's okay. When you wake up next time, just like every time you're teleported to the small world, all the memories from that time will be in your head.]
[6058: You won't miss anything about Yu An.]
Jingli gently shook her head.
[Keiri: It's not just him.]
[6058: My dear, I understand. Don't worry, I'm still here. This world won't spiral out of control.]
The counterfeit system is attached to Jingli, and only Jingli will feel it when the compression card is activated; the time perception of 6058 is still normal.
In other words, even if something unexpected happens during the compression process, the 6058 can make corrections through the observer system.
Jingli nodded, knowing that continuing to worry was pointless.
He retrieved the time compression card from the counterfeit system and selected to use it.
[Would you like to use the "Time Compression Card"? If used, the system will skip irrelevant plot points and proceed directly to the next story node.]
Jingli selects "Confirm".
[The "Time Compression Card" has been successfully used; plot progress analysis in progress...]
[During use, the host may experience a certain degree of weightlessness, and may experience symptoms such as dizziness and nausea. After use, the compressed plot will exist in the host's mind as a memory. Please check it.]
[Compression card in effect]
