Chapter 852 - 852 The Origin of the System

852 The Origin of the System

The next morning, Ji Qingyan woke up early to cook for Lin Yi.

To her, this was a blissful affair.

Its almost New Years Day. When do you plan to return to Yangcheng? She asked during dinner.

Around the 29th, Lin Yi said, After all, its the new year. Theres a lot of things that they need to prepare. Ill go back and help.

Hehe, then Ill go with you.

Huh? Didnt you say that you were going home for the New Year?

I dont have to worry about my family. I can go with you first and come back on the 31st. Anyway, its only two hours from Zhonghai to Yangcheng. Ill take a plane back on the 31st.

Isnt that too hectic?

No, I used to go on business trips too. Its alright.

Alright, lets go together then. My mom can even give you a red packet. Its free money. Itll be a waste not to take it.

Mother w.a.n.g and the others are old. We should be the ones giving them money, okay?

Thats what you say, but as their daughter-in-law, they have to give you a red packet.

Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi. Are you hinting something at me?

Cough, cough, cough

Lin Yi coughed lightly. Look at what youre saying. Arent you judging a gentleman by your own narrow-mindedness? Im not trying to hide anything. Im purely describing this matter.

Ji Qingyan chuckled. In that case, lets make a trip to my house when you have the time and ask my mother to give you a big red packet.

Come, give me a high five.

Ji Qingyan covered her mouth and laughed. Youre such a bad person.

However, she still gave Lin Yi a high five.

After dinner, Lin Yi sent Ji Qingyan to the office and then went to Lingyun Group to kill time.

He spent the entire day playing his game.

During this period, he even received a call from Yan Ci, telling Lin Yi the details of the program.

Furthermore, she explained that the recording of the program was set for January 5th.

They planned to spend one month recording it, which meant that theyd finish before the New Year. This way, we can make it in time for the Spring Festival variety show season.

After careful calculation, he realized that there were only ten days until then. Lin Yi couldnt wait anymore. He still had a mission to complete!

On the phone, Yan Ci also said that because they were filming on an isolated island, there was a high chance that they would use a boat at w.a.n.gjiang Dock. However, they had yet to decide the operator. This could be considered to be a silent plea toward Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didnt care about such a small matter, as long as it didnt delay his mission.

Other than that, there was another piece of good news.

The private jet that he had bought on Yawan Island was ready. It was parked at Liang Jinmings airport according to Lin Yis instructions.

In the next few days, Lin Yi could finally relax.

After thinking about it carefully, this was the first time he had been so free since he obtained the system.

Is the system there?

[Ill be here even if you die.]

d.a.m.n, youre so rude! Lin Yi said.

Coincidentally, I have time today. Besides, weve known each other for so long. Ill go and get some Maotai. Lets have a heart-to-heart chat.

[Im an emotionless machine. I cant be honest with you.]

Dont be like that, Lin Yi said, We met in a sea of people. This is fate. It shouldnt be too much for us to chat.

[What does the host want to know?]

I want to know how you got here.

[I can tell you how you die, but I cant tell you how I came into being.]

F*ck, system, youre really good jokes. Its almost like you have Douyin pre-installed. How much memory s.p.a.ce do you have?

After waiting for a few minutes, the system didnt say anything. Lin Yi knew that his question was a little out of line and struck a nerve.

System, dont go, lets talk. Lin Yi said, If I die, will you disappear too?

[I will.]

Didnt you say that you wouldnt die even if I died?

[I will destroy myself.]

How touching, Lin Yi said, Are you sure you cant reveal your origins? Is there really an alien civilization in this world?

[Prehistoric civilization.]

Prehistoric civilization?

Lin Yi was surprised. Your existence clearly exceeds the ability of modern civilization, and there cant be a prehistoric civilization that surpa.s.ses modern civilization, right? So how did you come about?

[The prehistoric civilization Im from is a civilization unknown to humans. But now, humans have already sensed the existence of the prehistoric civilization and are currently exploring it.]

What the f*ck, I think Ive touched upon a shocking secret.

[This is not a secret in the eyes of the higher-ups. Host, you dont have to feel that the prehistoric civilization is too mysterious.]

Isnt it mysterious though? Its enough to make peoples imagination run wild, Lin Yi complained.

[On Earth, the Atlantean and Mayan civilizations had both once existed. These were both branches of prehistoric civilization.]

After hearing the systems words, Lin Yi understood a lot.

From a certain perspective, the prehistoric civilization did not seem to be as mysterious as he had imagined.

It was just a step into the unknown.

When you phrase it that way, I understand.

Lin Yi didnt say anything else and fell into deep thought.

He felt like he had been wandering around the beginner village for so long.

This was too much.

He shook his head and dispelled all these nonsense.

The system said that these things were nothing in the eyes of the higher-ups.

In other words, a small number of core people had already grasped the secrets of this place.

It was just that he hadnt reached that level yet.

Lets take it slow.

Ring ring ring!

Just as Lin Yi was feeling bored, he received a call from Ji Qingyan.

Mr. Lin, what are you busy with? She asked sweetly.

Sigh, dont mention it. There are too many things to do at the company. Im so busy. I havent even had a sip of water.

Really? Wouldnt that be exhausting?

Thats right. Give me a ma.s.sage when we get home.

But I heard from Yuanyuan that you seem to be very free. Apparently, youve been in a daze and playing games all morning. You dont seem to have done anything.

He Yuanyuan, do you f*cking want to get f*cking fired?

Lin Yi cursed in his heart and pretended to be deep. Um, actually, playing games is very tiring.

Thats enough. Im not going to care about you anymore. Ji Qingyan smiled. But now, I have a mission for you.

What mission?

Its almost New Years Day. Im rather busy. Ill have to leave the purchasing of gifts to you.

Do you really need me to do such a thing? My mother took care of it herself.

The meanings are different. This is the first time Ill be going back to celebrate the Lunar New Year with Mother w.a.n.g. We need to buy certain things, but you dont need to trouble yourself with buying clothes for Mother w.a.n.g and her friends. Ive already picked out their clothes, so you can just pick the gifts for the children. Ji Qingyan said.

Hurry up and go. Be good. Muaaaa!
