Chapter 557: A Trivial Matter
"So it wasn't?"
Jie Tusheng only realized she had been played after hearing Ye Yao's satisfied voice.
"Although I had thought your personality might be a bit mischievous, I didn't expect you to actually play such a joke."
"How did I detect a sense of disappointment in your words?"
Now it was Ye Yao's turn to be confused.
Jie Tusheng: "Was there?"
Ye Yao fell into brief contemplation, thinking about how to expose the other's thoughts.
"Actually, according to the trajectory of another space-time, you should be my Older Female Cousin."
"So you are my younger cousin, that's considered a relatively close level."
Jie Tusheng let out a satisfied sound as if she had received the answer she wanted.
At the same time, a System notification sounded in Ye Yao's mind.
【Recognition successful, rewarded 5 Attribute Points】
Hehehe, since we have become family members, whether you want to tell the truth or not is no longer up to you~
Let me take a look at the information summary, I have my own judgment!
【Tu Sheng is a bit regretful; if she in another space-time is your "toy," perhaps she in this space-time would also receive a proportional amount of special favoritism, just like Luo Jianhua and Mo Qiuli, it feels like it would be very interesting】
What a letdown!
Is the relationship of just cousins not enough to satisfy you?
You really are a rival to Xia Lian!
Ye Yao didn't even dare to expose her on the spot.
Lest she pushes her luck.
Taking advantage of the fact that Jie Tusheng doesn't yet know she can "read minds," it seems she can read a few more interesting thoughts.
"Now that you know some of the truth, are you going to tell anyone?"
"No, I won't tell anyone."
Jie Tusheng's answer was very decisive, easily betraying the Countermeasure Bureau.
"Oh? It's possible I already destroyed my original world before coming to this space-time, and I might destroy this world soon too."
"Based on recent intelligence, I don't think you are such a cold-blooded person; if the previous world had been destroyed by you, you definitely wouldn't be playing so happily here."
"You say that as if you know me very well."
Ye Yao snorted softly, very unconvinced.
"I indeed don't know you; it's just my own personal opinion. If possible, I would like to get to know you from scratch. Do you want to chat with me for a while longer?"
"I don't want to."
Ye Yao rejected Jie Tusheng's invitation like a Sigma Loli.
Does she not know what the other is thinking?
It's nothing more than wanting to ask about the ending of the other space-time to satisfy her curiosity, and wanting to further trigger the influence brought by 【Karma】 through contact and communication.
To be even more sordid, it's using the identity of an Older Female Cousin to get close to her younger cousin, to see if this carrier of the World-Destroying Ability is really that terrifying.
The time Tu Sheng's Superpower was broken in the original space-time was not long; it had only been a few months since it was repaired.
These few months were enough to adapt to the situation of being unable to observe.
But in the parallel space-time, Tu Sheng's Superpower had been broken for three years.
For three years she was blind. Originally, she was almost omniscient and could observe whatever she wanted, but she was forced to abandon her Superpower in pursuit of truth.
The thirst for knowledge accumulated over these three years is terrifying.
She was just on the verge of making a request for Ye Yao to become her "eyes."
But Jie Tusheng ultimately did not make the request.
"I'm so envious; the world with you in it is definitely more vibrant."
"The other me's sacrifice received a reward, while my sacrifice feels more like a joke."
Her tone was somewhat emotional.
Logically speaking, the sacrifice made by Tu Sheng in the original space-time was a great achievement.
Not only did she find the location of the World-Destroying Ability, but she also participated in the historic moment that changed the course of the world.
While Tu Sheng in the parallel space-time was just asking for trouble, gaining nothing except a little peace of mind.
Many high-ranking officials in the Countermeasure Bureau found it baffling.
After all, the reason Jie Tusheng gave externally was the overuse of her Superpower.
One can only say that the disparity in the world is just like this.
"Speechless, who said you didn't gain anything?"
"Except for you, there really is no one who can guess my origins."
"Be proud, you are very impressive; to some extent, you are even more impressive than Dayun Truck."
Ye Yao immediately activated Data Fission, raising her Mental Power to a value sufficient to customize a person.
Given the number of family members recognized in the parallel space-time, it could be shouldered by using "Shared Hardship."
"And your biggest gain is being able to receive my reward."
Ye Yao repaired Jie Tusheng's broken Superpower without a word.
She also cured her eyes in the process.
Afterwards, she deactivated Data Fission and let out a long breath.
"Please call me Master Ye, the miracle healer!"
"Eh?"
Jie Tusheng seemed to notice something, and with slightly trembling hands, she unwrapped the gauze from her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, she felt unaccustomed to the light; it was like a rebooting computer, having a sense of distortion.
But this was not a conventional medical procedure, after all, and did not require complex recovery procedures.
It only took a moment of adaptation for someone who had been blind for three years to quickly regain their sight!
Jie Tusheng's clear eyes reflected Ye Yao's petite figure.
White hair and purple eyes, exquisite and cute, wearing a gorgeous Magical Girl outfit... it established an unforgettable first impression for Jie Tusheng.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
"...I see you. No wonder Xiao Jing said she wanted to raise you as her daughter; you really are cute."
"Hmm? Is that the first thing you say after regaining your sight? I thought you would be more excited."
"Do you want me to hold you and cry my eyes out? Actually, it's not impossible; I just need to brew up some emotions."
"Forget it, that feels too cheesy."
Ye Yao muttered.
【Successfully allowed a disabled family member to regain sight, affection value greatly increased, rewarded 20 Attribute Points】
【Attribute Points to be allocated: 50】
Repeatedly farming Attribute Points is just great.
The same event can be farmed in another space-time.
That's why parallel space-times are truly Treasure Troves.
Yin Yi's value is still increasing!
"I'm dipping, you keep pretending to be blind. Don't interfere with Uncle making money—ah, no, don't interfere with Ye Gege's plan. If you get caught, just say it's a miracle of the Magical Girl. I allow you to pin all the blame on me."
Ye Yao prepared to take off and leave.
The purpose of coming out this time has been achieved.
Not only was Jie Tusheng's guess confirmed, but the little clever idea of Tu Sheng from the original space-time was also completed.
And incidentally, she also farmed some Attribute Points.
Although she really wanted to poke Jie Tusheng, she felt like she might fall apart at any moment; she had the shattered feeling of a legendary skeleton soldier.
A casual poke like that might just turn into a murder case.
Jie Tusheng is still too fragile.
"Can't you chat for a while longer? I still want to look at you a few more times."
Jie Tusheng stared intently at Ye Yao's figure with her eyes that had finally regained their sight, as if wanting to record every detail of her in her mind.
"It's rare to enjoy your favoritism; I finally understand why others are so devoted to you. It's really warm, and also very addictive."
"Hmph, a Magical Girl's help is not unlimited. Even if you are my Older Female Cousin from a parallel space-time, you can't just demand it."
"At least let me know your name?" Jie Tusheng settled for the next best thing.
"My name is Ye Yao, don't you dare tell anyone."
After satisfying this request, Ye Yao returned the same way.
Incidentally, in the original space-time, the split body Ye Yao told Tu Sheng about this.
Tu Sheng: "Is it that simple? I thought you would tease her a bit more."
"Ah, you don't have the qualifications; you're too weak."
Ye Yao double-killed two people with one sentence, fully displaying the aesthetic of a power-gamer.
