Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 47: Investigation and Speculation

"Oh! So accurate." Cheng Xiaoxiao thought to herself, wouldn’t that mean that whenever there’s a disaster in the future, the system will issue tasks, and she will have endless people to save?

That doesn’t sound good!

Although she can avoid disasters in advance, she doesn’t want to keep saving people! It’s okay for these villagers, but if she has to save everyone, wouldn’t she be exhausted to death?

However, saving people comes with rewards, right? If she can exchange for more good things, it wouldn’t be impossible. This ancient world is so backward, unlike modern technology like mobile phones, computers. Some modern products can still be considered. Those sofas, beds, wardrobes, washing machines, fridges, showerheads, toilets in her apartment, she shouldn’t think about them. Once she starts thinking, she can’t stop!

Thinking about the System Mall in silence, the mall page popped up, and Cheng Xiaoxiao quickly flipped through to find household items. Sure enough, there were solar-powered flashlights, table lamps, kettles, calculators, fan hats, chargers...

Big items like solar water heaters, fridges, electric bikes, cars...

Wow! So many good things, and looking at the zero under the gray icons, there are so many!

Damn it... so expensive, can’t afford it.

Forget it, don’t think about it too much, just take things one step at a time!

We’ll talk later after waking up.

The system was speechless, wasn’t the host kicked in the head by a donkey? Thinking about random things, are those choices she can make?

**

Qingshan Village was vigorously carrying out self-rescue work.

Every day the village was bustling with activity. Around the mountain foot, a long trench was dug, running through the entire village and leading to the downstream river. The dug-up soil was bagged and transported to the riverbank to raise the dike.

There were men sweating away together, sawing big trees, cutting them into segments for transportation into the village. The trees were used to surround the wooden piles and reinforce houses. The excess branches were chopped into segments, and children picked them up to use as firewood.

In the fields, men and women, young and old, were busy harvesting rice, carrying load after load of half-yellow rice back and spreading it everywhere. Women used a rake to turn and sun-dry it, always lamenting each time, what a pity, what a pity!

The two ox carts in the village were filled with supplies every day, bringing them back. Now, all the items needed by the villagers are purchased uniformly. Cheng Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to attend a fair, continuing to fill up her warehouse with many things, now the 10 cubic spaces were packed.

Meanwhile, on a nearby big tree, Leng Qi was sighing! New instructions hadn’t been received yet.

These villagers were too fierce, would they chop down the big tree he was living in? Knowing that there were no trees nearby to hide.

Yanlan sent people to investigate Qingshan Village but didn’t meet with Leng Qi, the investigation was carried out privately. The investigation content was now on Yanlan’s desk, including the report Leng Qi submitted a few days ago.

The stern man was deep in thought, saying nothing for a long time. Han Yi was waiting by his side without making a sound, knowing the investigation results too. Apart from not being able to prove whether Miss Cheng’s dream was intentional, everything else was similar to Leng Qi’s report, now Qingshan Village has organized self-rescue, making it look convincing and hard not to believe.

Yanlan looked at the information Leng Qi sent back, saying to prepare in advance... a kind reminder? The little girl doesn’t seem the type to randomly act out of goodwill; she always acts with a purpose.

The man’s eyes, calm as water, held a teasing look!

Was it about relationships?

So what was the purpose this time?

Even openly seeking martial masters for her, it’s a bold move, does she think she can rely on relationships?

Seems like not... then what about the fifty iron items?

From the investigation results, the little girl hadn’t used them; what other plans does she have?

The more investigated, the more secrets the little girl had, making it hard not to want to dig deeper, investigate thoroughly.

Thinking of this, the corners of the mouth involuntarily lifted, the wolf lacks the most in patience, wanting to unearth secrets, cannot rush, take it slow...

Han Yi saw the shallow smile at the corner of the master’s lips and felt a chill, the master was most dangerous when like this, like a beast waiting to prey on the hunted, would the master want to capture Miss Cheng and interrogate her brutally!

After all, from the investigation results, Miss Cheng seemed to have some mysterious things about her, couldn’t clarify exactly what, in short, some unspeakable and unclear.

He thought like this, with the clever and wise master less likely to overlook, so...

"Do what she asks!"

Yanlan suddenly spoke, interrupting Han Yi’s wild guess, thinking the master would... it turned out he overthought, how could the master do something like that, the master was so kind!

"Then, do we need to change someone?" Leng Qi seemed not too bright.

"No need!"

The man at the desk spoke lightly, "Too smart can cause trouble."

Han Yi was still worried, "But, Leng Qi said Miss Cheng can use the Mind Reading Technique, isn’t that absurd? He’s too dull, Miss Cheng saw the signs and guessed his identity, yet he’s still paranoid, ask Commander Leng how he trains people next time, so dumb..."

"You might get discovered if you go."

Yanlan said lightly, making Han Yi stop his complaint abruptly.

"Impossible!"

Han Yi didn’t believe it, Leng Qi’s abilities cannot compare with his own? The master said something like that was too belittling, at least he was the master’s strongest guard.

"Alright, go arrange then! There’s a chance for you to perform." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Just wanting to speak again, Han Yi could only silently retreat, feeling unconvinced, just as he was about to vanish into the night, the master’s voice sounded behind him, "Send Han Er over."

"Understood!"

Han Yi took his command and left.

Yanlan quickly wrote down the next arrangements, all of these plans were beyond the original plans.

Soon, Han Er flew in and hurriedly asked after saluting the master, "Master, is there anything urgent that requires my action?"

He’s been a bit idle lately, watching Old Man Yan tally accounts, his head aches, besides acting as a guard, he hasn’t had any substantial role, his personality jumps, tasks like that don’t suit him, so when Han Yi notified him of a new task from the master, he came immediately.

Yanlan had no time to cater to Han Er’s emotions, directly handing him the list in hand.

"Tell Old Yan to buy everything on the list, and deliver it all to the Dark Pavilion Headquarters."

Han Er took the densely packed three pages of paper, staring wide-eyed, "Master, you mean..." He dared not say the words ’rebellion’, with so much food, medicine, weapons, and military supplies, if not for rebellion, then what?

Yanlan glanced coldly at Han Er, who immediately felt his hair stand on end, daring not to speak further.

"Complete within half a month."

Pressing down curiosity, Han Er reluctantly asked, "The quantity is too much, we may not gather it all within our region, need to source from elsewhere, the journey is far, master, could you extend the deadline?"

"Twelve days!"

"No, no, master! I’ll make sure it’s done within half a month." He quickly retreated, not daring to say another word, worried the master would change it to ten days, the master really doesn’t play fair! Being his subordinate is so tough!

He wants to ask Han Yi what exactly happened?

But... So again it involves accounting and procurement, thought the master would assign some nice job!

Oh well, still need to return to find Old Man Yan, Han Er wore a bitter face, went to find Han Yi first and ask about it!
