Leng Shuang quietly observed the mission list.

There were currently no Special Missions or Event Missions available.

As for the Normal Missions, except for the third task, she was already aware of the others beforehand.

Even without the system, she would have carried them out seriously, as it was her Master’s orders.

Now, she could also obtain rewards while doing them.

Naturally, this only motivated her further.

"Hey, Shuang, why are you staring at the air? Are you looking at your system? Can I see it too?"

Leng Shuang hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "... It seems you can."

"The what are you waiting for? Hurry! I want to see it!" Qian Lian urged with anticipation.

Leng Shuang knew this girl wasn’t going to back down if she didn’t oblige. Moreover, from her Master’s previous attitude, maybe Lian would also receive a system in the future.

So, there’s no need to hide it from her.

Somewhere, deep inside her heart, she also had the urge to show off in front of her bestie.

Hence, she let the golden panel become visible to her.

Meanwhile, Qian Lian was unaware of her bestie’s intent to show off. She quietly peeked from the side.

"So cool..."

"It even categorises missions..."

"It really is exactly like a protagonist system..."

Leng Shuang ignored her muttering and opened another panel.

It showed her status.

[Name: Leng Shuang]

[Age: 23]

[Cultivation: Qi Condensation (Level 1)]

[Affinity: Water]

[Special Abilities: None]

[Special Techniques: None]

[Techniques: Wall Walking Technique (E-Rank)]

[System Points: 0]

[Remark: "Work hard, rookie. You still have a long way to go."]

Seeing the final remark, Leng Shuang’s lips twitched slightly.

The system actually mocked her.

Still, she got a general idea of her current strength now.

To describe it in one word.

Weak.

In two words—Very weak.

However, she wasn’t disappointed.

Because, unlike before, she was working hard blindly. Now she could clearly see the road ahead.

In addition, another detail caught her attention.

’Water affinity...’

Leng Shuang raised her brow slightly.

Neither Master nor Miss Yang seemed to use water-related abilities.

Still, she didn’t think too deeply about it.

Instead, she opened the System Store directly.

The moment the golden shop interface unfolded, even Leng Shuang’s calm eyes shook slightly.

Numerous treasures, medicines, weapons, and techniques filled the screen.

Most of the higher sections remained locked. Clearly, her current authority level remained too low. But the available products were already enough to shock her.

Qian Lian practically stuck herself beside Leng Shuang completely, with her mouth hanging open wide, practically drooling with envy.

"So many things..." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Oh my God..."

"Wait, there are actual elemental techniques too?!"

Leng Shuang ignored the other elements; her gaze quickly focused on the Water Techniques section.

[Water Techniques:]

————————————————

Leng Shuang quietly stared at the list.

Even the descriptions alone already made these techniques sound terrifying.

Especially the final B-Rank technique.

Just reading it, she could already vaguely imagine its terrifying, destructive power.

And the C-rank technique that can summon rain. This was just a C-rank technique, but it can alter the weather. Though temporarily and in short range, it was still too damn amazing.

Beside her, Qian Lian’s breathing had already become heavier.

"...Cool... So cool."

"This is way too cool..."

At this moment, she genuinely felt her entire worldview had become exciting beyond imagination.

"I want this system so much. Shuang, do you think Master can give me one?"

"It depends on your hard work." Leng Shuang encouraged her.

Qian Lian spoke solemnly. "Don’t worry, I will definitely satisfy Master—No! Daddy Su."

Leng Shuang "..."

As expected of you, Lian. When it comes to having a thick face, I could never be your opponent.

***

Back in Yang Villa, the living hall had fallen silent.

Yang Qingxi sat stiffly on the sofa after finally explaining everything to her mother. Systems, protagonists, destiny, the hidden dangers—she had revealed almost everything she had kept hidden until now. Expect Su Mo to be a transmigrator and his system.

Meanwhile, Yang Qingyun calmly placed her teacup on the table.

Then she looked at her daughter helplessly.

"You are so stupid, Qingxi."

Yang Qingxi froze.

"...What are you saying, Mom?"

She looked at her resentfully.

After explaining so many shocking things, this was the first thing her mother said?

Yang Qingyun sighed softly.

"With the way you’re handling things, I genuinely don’t know whether I’ll ever get to see my grandchildren."

"???"

Yang Qingxi stared at her, dumbfounded.

"After all the secrets I just told you..."

"You’re worried about grandchildren?"

"Of course I’m worried." Yang Qingyun replied naturally. "You said yourself that Su Mo is so outstanding, capable, handsome, and treats you so well."

"Yet after all this time, your relationship is still stuck in this unclear stage."

Yang Qingxi’s face stiffened slightly.

Meanwhile, Yang Qingyun looked at her speechlessely.

"Qingxi, emotionally, you’re worse than a block of wood."

"Why didn’t you and your brother inherit my emotional intelligence?"
