Chapter 368 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 39
Jia Lang knew that the Dream Fulfillment System was not reliable. He had also long understood the nature of the so-called system tasks, and therefore Jia Lang knew that it was impossible to rely on the system to help protect his safety. Therefore, every time he did a task, Jia Lang's goal was not the soul of the trader, but the "opportunity" of these worlds.
As a soul-calling bird, Jia Lang can only go to the film and television worlds provided by the system to seek opportunities if he wants to transcend restrictions. However, according to the settings, with his current strength, he can choose the world of immortal cultivation at will. The difference in this soul can be seen by the local characters in every minute.
For this reason, Jia Lang had to live a little longer. The reason why he chose the film and television world of Dream of Red Mansions was for the "immortal fate" and the magical jade here.
Although the spiritual jade in Dream of Red Mansions is very inferior, it is also the material used by Nuwa to repair the sky. There is also a stone that gave birth to a Monkey King. For this reason, Jia Lang has to try to see if he can get the stone in Dream of Red Mansions.
Now that he had tried, he would most likely not be able to obtain the Bu Tian Stone, but he could think about the energy of creation in the Bu Tian Stone. In order to paralyze the system and prevent him from discovering his true purpose, Jia Lang decided to follow the system's tasks from the beginning. First, this would allow him to get the system's golden finger, and second, he could also extract system energy after completing the task.
After using the golden fingers in these tasks, Jia Lang determined that the so-called golden fingers were actually a manifestation of the power of the Dream Fulfilling System, similar to the power of the Mind Gem. In other words, the system could produce whatever golden fingers the trader wanted. Every time he used the golden fingers given by the system, he secretly used his soul to intercept a small amount of energy.
For the system, the rewards given to itself for its tasks - such as the space of the previous task world, pills that act on the soul, or even a skill of the trader itself are actually a kind of illusion of system energy. The better you complete your tasks, the more energy the system will give you. After a long time, perhaps one day you will really be able to swallow all the energy of the system.
It’s too early to say this now, because all this will take a long time to achieve, but fortunately, what Jia Lang lacks the least is time.
It's funny to say that the system used Jia Lang to embezzle the energy of the film and television world, and then he took advantage of the system's loopholes to secretly absorb the system's energy...
"Brother Lang, what happened to the jade?"
When Jia Lang put the jade he picked up into Grandmother Jia's hands, he suddenly became dazed, which puzzled Grandmother Jia, who was about to take it.
Grandmother Jia's voice woke Jia Lang, who was lost in thought. Jia Lang found that he was holding the jade and said apologetically, "Grandma, Baoyu dropped this jade so hard, I was just worried that it might be broken."
"Oh, this, you don't have to worry about it. This piece of jade is not an ordinary piece of jade. Although Baoyu has fallen several times, there will be no problem every time."
Grandmother Jia didn't think much about it. She just thought that Jia Lang had rarely seen Baoyu drop jade and was worried that the jade would be broken. To be honest, she was also very worried at the beginning, but Jia Baoyu dropped it quite a lot and was fine every time, so gradually Grandmother Jia stopped worrying.
Jia Lian accompanied Lin Daiyu away. In order to comfort Jia Baoyu who was sad about the loss of Lin Daiyu, Jia's grandmother went to the Shi family and invited Shi Xiangyun over.
As soon as Shi Xiangyun arrived, she started calling Xue Baochai "sister", and the two seemed to get along very well.
After Lin Daiyu left, there are only three girls in the Jia family. Among them, Shi Xiangyun has a good relationship with Xue Baochai, which makes Jia Tanchun seem less sociable.
Although Jia Tanchun was unhappy, she had to flatter Xue Baochai in order to please her stepmother. Xue Baochai was also used to the feeling of being the host. Grandmother Jia was very unhappy with the behavior of Jia Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun both flattering Xue Baochai, a merchant girl, but after all, Xue Baochai was also a guest, and Grandmother Jia felt it was difficult to say anything.
Gradually, without knowing when it started, all the servants in the Jia family began to praise Xue Baochai. Even when Jia Lang was reviewing his lessons in the yard, he could hear the little maids speaking well of Xue Baochai.
"Are the people in the Jia family crazy? Why would they praise the daughter of the Xue family when they don't even praise their own daughter?"
Jia Lang couldn't understand this, but Aunt Xue, as Xue Baochai's mother, saw it clearly. Xue Baochai fell in love with Jia Lang, but Jia Lang was different from Jia Baoyu. Jia Lang was from the first wife's house and had no relatives with Xue Baochai. Also, because of the difference between men and women, Jia Lang didn't often visit the backyard. Xue Baochai couldn't meet Jia Lang and cultivate feelings with him even if she wanted to.
If things continued like this, Xue Baochai would never be able to marry Jia Lang in this life, so in order to attract Jia Lang's attention, Xue Baochai bribed the servants of the Jia family to spread good words about herself in the Jia family. She thought that even if Jia Lang didn't have any feelings about her after hearing it, it would not be a loss. If Aunt Li or Grandmother Jia from the first wife knew about it, it was not impossible that they would intend to marry her for Jia Lang.
How to say it, Xue Baochai's methods are actually quite childish. In her previous life, in order to be engaged to Jia Baoyu, there were rumors in the Jia family that Lin Daiyu was not as good as Xue Baochai, and that Xue Baochai had a golden lock that happened to match Jia Baoyu's Baoyu.
But she forgot the most crucial issue, that is, the person who could decide Jia Baoyu's marriage in her previous life was her aunt, not Jia Baoyu himself; and the person who could decide Jia Lang's marriage in this life was not anyone in the Jia family, but Jia Lang himself. As long as Jia Lang disagrees, it will be useless even if Xue Baochai praises herself to the sky.
Seeing Jia Lang's indifference, Xue Baochai was very disappointed. Aunt Xue saw that Jia Lang had no reaction, and after being persuaded by the second wife, she wanted to pair Xue Baochai with Jia Baoyu, so she persuaded her.
"Baochai, this Lang'er is so absorbed in his studies that he doesn't show any reaction at all. Why not try Baoyu?"
"Baoyu is good-looking and has a good personality. Your aunt wants to marry you to Baoyu. After all, Baoyu is a legitimate child, but isn't he more respectable than Lang'er, who is a concubine's child?"
Xue Baochai bit her lip and felt conflicted. She wouldn't say how much she liked Jia Lang, but between Jia Lang and Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai, who was very proud, naturally valued Jia Lang more.
In Xue Baochai's eyes, Jia Lang's becoming an official is a foregone conclusion, and although Jia Baoyu is a good person, it is also certain that he will have no future. She has suffered from her inferior status since childhood. Does it mean that if she has children in the future, her children will also be inferior to others?
How could Aunt Xue not know about Xue Baochai's heart knot? She knew that although the relationship between the first and second wives in the Jia family had not reached the point of life and death, there was also open and secret struggle inside.
How could Xue Baochai, a relative of the second wife, be chosen by the first wife and be married to Lang'er, the most promising one in the first wife? Xue Baochai was young, smart and shrewd, but she still lacked a sense of the overall situation. She only knew that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng could get married, but she never thought that the relationship between the first wife and the second wife was completely different at this time.
