Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 78 What kind of reward is this?
"Brother, these chestnuts I roasted with love, how can they not be expensive? But since you're so sincere, how about this? If you buy a few more pounds, I'll give you one pound for free."

The vendor replied with a smile, still frying the golden chestnuts in his hands, for fear that they would lose their flavor.

Customers and vendors bargain back and forth, and the price fluctuates by a penny.

Yun Ximo was left behind by the excitement.

She wandered to the roasted sweet potato stall

I looked at each sweet potato carefully, and finally picked a round little one with crispy skin and fragrant flesh.

Scan the code and pay in one go. The moment you get the sweet potato in your hand, it feels like a small hand warmer, warming your hands and heart.

The phone suddenly started buzzing and vibrating.

Yun Ximo's eyes lit up and she took out her treasure from her pocket - a cell phone.

"Hey, speak of the devil, here comes the reward."

Ding——Congratulations to our invincible and lovely player Yun Ximo for completing the mission.

The rewards are as follows, please keep your eyes open and be prepared to be surprised!

[Story Modification Benefits x3 - Technology Points 10!]

[But a friendly reminder, this privilege is not something you can just squander. It's a limited edition, and you only have three chances to use it, and each one is only valid for a short ten minutes!]

Yun Ximo was speechless upon hearing this: "Plot adjustment privilege? What kind of reward is this?"

Could this be the legendary "regret pill" upgrade? Don't be afraid of a bizarre plot; with a simple wave of our sleeves, we can change the channel!

Luo Luo then came online, with a hint of pride and arrogance: [Hehe, that's right, I'm a super-writer who wields the time eraser and can rewrite fate. What if one day you encounter a plot that's even more outrageous than a soap opera, making you exclaim, "Outrageous mom opens the door to outrageousness, it's outrageous to the extreme"? Don't worry, change its course. But remember, you only have three precious chances. Once you use them up, it's goodbye forever. Remember to use them sparingly like a miser guarding his gold coins!]

After hearing this, Yun Ximo's eyes curved into crescents in laughter. "Haha, this is a magical tool tailor-made for me! Whenever I encounter force majeure events that make me want to scream, 'Help! Earth is too dangerous! I need to go back to Mars!', I can just snap them and make them a piece of cake!"

Luo Luo came back and suddenly slapped his not-so-bright forehead. After a deep conversation with his brain cells, he shouted: "Aha! I almost forgot about this!"

Then, it added with a smug look on its face:
[Technology Points can also be redeemed for plot modification benefits! Yes, you heard correctly, save up 100 points and you'll become a little plot director and enjoy VIP treatment for plot adjustments! Momo, you need to work harder. Look at your current points, only 20 points. You're still a long way from becoming a '-point millionaire'! Come on, Momo, don't let our technology points rot in the corner!]

After saying that, Luo Luo did not forget to give Yun Xi Momo an encouraging look, his eyes full of the determination of "You can do it, I believe in you", and "But if you can't do it, I will laugh at you for the rest of your life."

After Lolo finished speaking, he slipped away without a trace.

Afraid that Yun Ximo would kill him instantly with just a glance, he just "sent him away".

As for Yun Ximo, her head at this moment is like an enhanced version of the thinker's vortex, and its speed is so fast that it can compete with an F1 car!

"Wow, look at the exchange standards in this tech mall. They're more deeply rooted than the roots of an old tree. They're like a truly invincible antique in the torrent of time!"

Yun Ximo sighed and cursed: This lousy Spacetime Administration suddenly dropped from the sky, and with a click, pressed her firmly under the "Five Finger Mountain" of the task list, and said smugly: "Hey, want to run? No way!"

Alas, the task is not easy, Ximo sighed, let’s cherish every moment!

Just as Yun Ximo, a young sapling baptized by the storm of thought, was stuck in the soil in a daze, unable to extricate itself with an attitude of "I am thinking about the deep problems of life, please don't disturb me"...

A small car, unwilling to be lonely, suddenly stopped beside her with a momentum that could not be ignored. The friction between the wheels and the ground made a slight sound but it was enough to break the silence.

Then, Wei Qi stretched out his big hand and knocked on Yun Ximo's forehead with a gesture of "I just like to see your surprised little expression."

This blow almost made the hot sweet potato in Yun Ximo's hand perform a "flying potato" stunt. With a slightly trembling "Wow~", her thoughts were successfully pulled back to Earth.

The girl turned around slowly, and the sunlight lazily filtered through the lazy clouds, giving her a layer of golden, lazy glow.

Her clear eyes reflected Wei Qi's face, which had clear contours and could be a sketch model, but no matter how you looked at it, he looked particularly annoying, as if saying, "Surprise? Unexpected?" There was a slightly cunning smile on the corner of his mouth.

"..."

Yun Ximo wanted to activate the "out of sight, out of mind" skill immediately, but she didn't slack off on the surface. There was a spark of anger in her eyes as she glared at Wei Qi.

"Hey, hey, hey, how many times have you used my head like a drum? My IQ balance is already low, and if you keep hitting me like that, I'm afraid my phone will be shut down for unpaid bills and I'll become the president of the Negative IQ Club!"

Then, she didn't forget to complain about Wei Qi's illegal parking: "Also, the way you parked your car is simply giving the traffic police a warm welcome! If you have nothing to do, please move out of the way. I'm busy having a deep soul conversation with my roasted sweet potatoes. Don't disturb my sweet potato moment."

Seeing that Wei Qi was still staying there like a stubborn stubborn person and refused to leave.

Then, Yun Ximo raised her brows slightly, her lips curled up into a "you're done" smile, and she asked impatiently, "Hurry up, the wheels haven't turned enough? What are you still standing here for? Are you simply trying to take advantage of the heat and feel this scalding, skin-peeling 'warning sign' sweet potato in my hand?"

After saying that, she shook the sweet potato in her hand seriously.

Upon hearing this, Wei Qi smiled. "Oh, how come you've been thinking about life so much that even a super handsome guy like me doesn't notice?" As he spoke, he didn't forget to examine the innocent sweet potato in her hand, his expression more focused than a detective investigating a case. "I say, little sweet potato, you've had quite a rough life. First, you were roasted by the fire until the outside was crispy and the inside was tender. You thought you could enjoy the peak of your 'potato life', but in the end, you were forced to participate in this deep and headache-inducing 'soul dialogue'. I see, you're not just ripe, you've actually 'enlightened'. You could go give a lecture in the sweet potato world!"

Wei Qi suddenly changed his tone, putting on an attitude of "I am your exclusive driver, please get in the car," and said with a smile: "Get in, I'll take you home."

Yun Ximo, holding a steaming hot sweet potato fresh from the oven, was thinking to herself, "I'll take a taxi to my uncle's house for a meal, and use this sweet potato as a snack on the way."

As a result, a "Cheng Yaojin" Wei Qi suddenly appeared. Although he was an acquaintance, to Yun Ximo, he was just someone the original owner knew and had nothing to do with her.

"Getting in a stranger's car? That idea sounds more unsettling than eating an undercooked sweet potato."

-

-

A tug-of-war began in Yun Ximo's heart.

The first to appear was Yun Ximo's inner "cautious demon." With a serious face and a magnifying glass in hand, she began to speak non-stop: "Hey, little girl, you have to think carefully. Riding in a stranger's car is a big deal. What if he's a human trafficker in disguise? Or, worse, a robot Terminator who got lost on Earth and has a malfunctioning navigation system?"

Just as the "cautious devil" was talking with saliva flying and Yun Ximo's brows were about to be twisted into the shape of fried noodles with soybean paste, suddenly, a little angel wearing a golden halo and holding a calculator fell from the sky. She was the "little angel of reason".

"Wait, wait, little devil, take a break." The rational little angel interrupted the cautious devil. "Look, Yun Ximo usually takes a taxi, doesn't she also sit in the car of a stranger driver, and she has to pay for it herself, and her wallet is as thin as a bamboo pole. But this time, hey, they sponsored her with a luxury car, so she can travel at no cost. Rounding it up, she's earned 100 million!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Ximo's brows were smoothed by the spring breeze, slowly thawing from the "twisted shape", gradually stretching out, and finally bending into a crescent-shaped "smile arc".

She thought to herself, "Well, when I think about it this way, it does make sense."

So, Yun Ximo stepped forward and got into the car.

Well, it's a rare free ride in a luxury car! "

Yun Ximo got into the passenger seat and sat down, then couldn't wait to peel the sweet potato skin. The golden potato flesh came into view, and the tempting sweet aroma filled the entire car.

Then, he bit into it without caring about his image, and a piece of the sweet potato was gone in an instant.

Wei Qi was stunned, the corners of his mouth trembled as if cramping, and he couldn't utter a word.

"This girl, did she go out without eating? She started eating sweet potatoes as soon as she got in the car. This behavior is really unbelievable!"

But who is our Wei Qi? He's a warm-hearted man with a charming demeanor and a voice that can captivate everyone. He still maintains that gentle, magnetic voice. "Eat slowly, don't choke, there's water in the car."

Wei Qi said as he handed over an unopened bottle of mineral water.

Yun Ximo looked up, with a little mashed potato still on the corner of her mouth, and took the water and said thank you.

Wei Qi started the car slowly and did not forget to ask for the address.

"Ahem, let me ask you, is your uncle's house the Peach Blossom Spring hidden in the east, or the leisurely Nanshan Mountain in the west? Should I take a short stroll east, or go west for a deeper exploration?"

After hearing this, Yun Ximo's sweet potato in her hand trembled slightly, and then she continued to chew it as if nothing had happened.

A playful smile blooms quietly, and the grass, the most unconventional grass in spring, has to squeeze out some greenness from the cracks in the rocks.

"My uncle's little nest isn't the kind of magical place in Journey to the West where even Sun Wukong can't find it even after somersaults, nor is it the kind of magical place in Harry Potter where 'Welcome to Hogwarts' plays automatically when you get close to it."

"To use a popular term these days, it's the quintessential 'low-key,' except for the occasional square dance music played from the village loudspeakers. You'll have to navigate several bends, pass through bamboo forests rustling in the wind, and chat with gossiping duck ladies about the weather. It's best to bring a compass and a 'Guide to Getting Lost in the Countryside.' Oh, and also some dry food and water, lest you starve to death while trying to find your way."

-

After hearing this, Wei Qi looked at Yun Ximo in astonishment. He was stunned for several seconds before he stammered, "Live...live in the mountains?...So, are we going to live deep in the mountains and become neighbors with Big Bear and Little Bear?"

Yun Ximo looked at Wei Qi's exaggerated expression and smiled slyly. Her cheeks turned slightly red from trying so hard to hold back her laughter, but in the end she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She laughed and said, "I'm just kidding! You look so serious, I really thought I was going to take you on an adventure in the mountains and forests!"

After giving her the address, she continued, "Originally, I was planning to take a taxi straight there, but since you're so kindhearted, I'll stick to the principle of 'accepting those who come and not chasing those who leave'. I'm like, 'if you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you're a jerk!' Haha, so I'll take your ride without hesitation!"

Hearing this, Wei Qi couldn't help but burst out laughing, his laughter carrying a hint of time. "You were never polite to me when we were little, so why are you so polite now? I remember when you were little, Bian Chi often asked me to pick you up from home. I even almost took on the responsibility of attending the parent-teacher conference and became your 'extraneous parent'."

When Yun Ximo heard this, her expression instantly turned into a walking advertisement for the word "囧" (embarrassment). She mentally raged, "This guy, why does he always like to bring up things from his childhood? Is he trying to bring back memories?"

However, despite her complaints, Yun Ximo was still very sensible. After all, when it comes to hitchhiking, you have to be low-key, right? So, she quietly munched on her sweet potato, deciding to temporarily put away her "awkward" face and put on a "I'm a good boy" expression to continue her ride.

The last bite of sweet potato staged a "final battle" in her mouth, which was as difficult as the Long March of the Red Army. Finally, it surrendered and was gloriously "eliminated" by her.

As the sweet potatoes fell into her stomach, an awkward yet polite smile appeared on her face, but there was something fishy hidden in that smile.

Forget it, forget it. Today I am being magnanimous and will not bother with such a trivial matter as yours. I will just let you jump a few more times.

Shake off the potato crumbs on your hands, announcing the successful conclusion of the battle with sweet potatoes.

Then she continued, "Haha, your brain is like a human search engine. You can actually remember every little thing from your childhood. Your memory is so good that I want to cut your head open and study it. Unlike me, hey, my memory is like an upgraded version of a fish's seven-second memory. I might forget everything I ate yesterday, and occasionally I'll shout to the air: 'Hey, my brain, where have you been?'"
