In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Chapter 387 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 58

After listening to Jia Lang's words, Jia's mother quickly figured it out and agreed to the separation of the first and second wives. She also suggested that since they were going to separate, it would be better to divide the illegitimate sons of the two wives in advance, so that no one would keep thinking about her private property for so many years.

Jia Lang did not pay attention to the specific process of the division of the family. After all, the Spring Examination was only a few days away, and Jia Lang came back just for the examination. What could the affairs of the Jia family have to do with her, a branch of the family that had been separated long ago.

In the past two years, Jia Lang seldom used his predictive skills. Firstly, it was because he did not need to. Secondly, when he predicted the autumn examination more than two years ago, Jia Lang discovered that every time he used his predictive skills, he would lose a part of his spiritual consciousness. That part of spiritual consciousness was so little that Jia Lang did not even notice it at the beginning.

But later, after practicing the way of merit, Jia Lang discovered a causal line connecting his spiritual consciousness directly to the outside through the causal line in his body.

Every time one uses the precognitive skill, this thread of cause and effect will extract one's spiritual consciousness. The prepayment skill is a golden finger created by the dream-fulfilling system by analyzing the wishes of the trader. Logically speaking, even if one needs to pay a reward when using it, it should not be taken from the tasker himself.

If the Dream-Fulfilling System is seen as a tool used to connect various small worlds and steal the origin of the world, then the tasker himself is one of the workers who has signed an employment contract, and the trader is the world intermediary who has been attracted. In other words, there is a contract between the Dream-Fulfilling System and the trader, and between himself and the Dream-Fulfilling System, but there is no contract between himself and the trader.

Therefore, traders provide their souls and some other things to the Dream Fulfilling System in exchange for a chance of rebirth and a golden finger. The Dream Fulfilling System provides the recycled trader's soul to itself as a tool to help the Dream Fulfilling System complete the contract with the trader.

Simply put, the Dream Fulfillment System sells things, traders buy things, and Jia Lang, as a deliveryman, gets paid by the Dream Fulfillment System.

How can a deliveryman pay for the delivery? The use of the golden finger should not require Jia Lang to expend his spiritual consciousness.

Therefore, these divine consciousnesses were either secretly intercepted by the Dream Fulfillment System, or used by the Dream Fulfillment System to monitor Jia Lang. Now Jia Lang has already entered the practice, but his cultivation is still low, and he still needs to rely on the ability of the Dream Fulfillment System to travel through the world, so Jia Lang cannot be exposed or torn apart, he can only reduce the use to avoid his own losses.

In particular, Jia Lang had seen a common sense of cultivation in the immortality magazine he had taken from Fairy Jinghuan: if a person wanted to own a magic tool or a puppet, it was not safe to recognize the owner by dripping blood, and it was best to brand it with spiritual consciousness. Everyone's spiritual consciousness is similar to a person's DNA, which is unique. All things bound by spiritual consciousness cannot be untied and can only follow the owner of the spiritual consciousness.

Under normal circumstances, the objects that the owner of the spiritual consciousness marks are all inanimate objects. Once the object becomes alive, it means that it has a soul, and having a soul means that it has its own spiritual consciousness.

At this time, if someone wants to subdue these spiritual objects, they need to intercept a part of the other party's spiritual consciousness and swallow it into their own spiritual consciousness. No matter how narcissistic Jia Lang is, he will not think that he can imprint the dream-fulfilling system with just his nascent spiritual consciousness.

Besides, the dream-fulfilling system is so intelligent that it doesn’t seem like an inanimate object at all. But if you think about it the other way around, it makes sense. The dream-fulfilling system wants to turn itself into its puppet, its slave.

Jia Lang guessed that he was not the only tasker of the Dream-Fulfilling System, and there should be other taskers who had signed contracts with it and were performing tasks in various film and television worlds.

Jia Lang’s previous tasks were not completed well, and were not worthy of the Dream-Fulfilling System’s investment. They were disposable items, and would be scrapped once Jia Lang was assimilated into the film and television world one day.

It was not until the last mission world that Jia Lang discovered the problem from Xiao Qin's reaction. Not only did he complete the mission, but he also successfully got the hidden reward and obtained a portable space that could bind his soul. The Dream-Fulfilling System saw Jia Lang's potential and turned Jia Lang from a disposable consumable into a tool that could be reused many times.

After having this guess in his mind, Jia Lang naturally would not use the predictive skill anymore. When he arrived at the next mission world, Jia Lang did not plan to use the golden finger anymore. At least, he would not use the golden finger casually before he learned how to avoid the loss of spiritual consciousness.

In order to unlock the next type of film and television world, he needs to complete two more worlds. Jia Lang doesn't know which world in the palace fighting and house fighting world has tasks that can help him gain merit. Jia Lang plans to wait until this world ends and then look for it in the task list. If he really can't find it, he will enter the world he has been to before and cut off some unnecessary causal lines.

Fortunately, some film and television worlds have a large audience and strong willpower, which can withstand Jia Lang's repeated entry and exit and multiple changes. Some film and television worlds also have parallel worlds, but they are divided into different film and television types by the system.

On the day of the Spring Examination, only Aunt Li came out from the entire Jia Mansion to send Jia Lang into the examination room. Except for Aunt Li, everyone else in the Jia Mansion gathered in Rong Xi Hall once and also called Jia Zhen from the Ningguo Mansion next door.

"I asked you to come here today, Brother Zhen, because of the division of the Rongguo Mansion. You are the patriarch of the Jia Mansion in the capital, so you must be present for this matter."

Grandmother Jia originally wanted to wait a little longer until Jia Lang passed the imperial examination in spring. She still had hope in her heart that after Jia Lang became a Jinshi, the people of the second house, including the virtuous concubine in the palace, would not want to split up the family because of Jia Lang's help.

Grandmother Jia knew clearly that the initiative in dividing the family property was not in the hands of the eldest master, Jia She. Even though he cheered for it, as long as the people in the second house were unwilling, the family could not be divided.

However, Grandmother Jia underestimated the Second Wife's jealousy towards Jia Lang. She didn't want Jia Lang to be any help at all. She just wanted Jia Lang to die.

The second master Jia Zheng had thought about these things, but he was also very jealous of Jia Lang in his heart. He had studied for so many years and always claimed to be a scholar, but in fact he had no achievements. Now a junior like Jia Lang was about to pass the imperial examination. How could Jia Zheng be willing to accept this?

As for whether to help or not, Jia Zheng couldn't think about that at all.

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was unanimous in wanting to divide the family property, so Jia Zhen naturally would not say anything to disagree. In order to divide the family property, Jia's grandmother's private vault was also opened. Only then did Jia She realize that Jia's grandmother really didn't have much private money left. He suddenly felt that he had been at a loss and wanted to regret it, but Jia Zheng and the Second Wife did not give him a chance to regret it and forced him to divide the family property.

All the Jia family members present did not know that Grandmother Jia had left 200,000 yuan for Lin Daiyu as a dowry. Ever since she determined that Jia Lang was unreliable, Grandmother Jia had no intention of letting Lin Daiyu marry Jia Lang. Since Jia Lang was unwilling to take on the responsibility of the Jia family, why should she give him the 200,000 yuan?

Wouldn’t it be nice to give it to your beloved Baoyu?
