Chapter 2: 002 Purple Lightning System
Translator: 549690339
In a room on the second floor of the Zhao family villa.
"Mom, how is it going? What about Chu Jin? ... ," Zhao Yiling looked anxiously at her mother. The conditions offered by the Mo family were simply too tempting; her business was just starting and needed a large amount of capital.
If Chu Jin made any mistake at this critical time, it would all be for naught.
Li Ruyu picked up her teacup and took a leisurely sip, her every move exuding an aristocratic demeanor, a stark contrast to her previous image.
"Yiling, don't worry. I won't let that dead girl ruin your future. What's most important for you now is to activate Plan Z. In three days, the Mo family will transfer the funds. You can't be distracted by these trivial matters at this time; I'll take care of the family matters... "
Li Ruyu patted Zhao Yiling's hand affectionately, signaling her to be at ease.
Hearing Li Ruyu say this, Zhao Yiling's heart gradually settled down, "Okay, Mom, I will listen to you."
Li Ruyu looked at her excellent daughter and nodded with satisfaction, "Hmm, Yiling, you can't let your dad and me down this time."
Zhao Yiling confidently said, "Mom, don't worry!"
Li Ruyu looked at Zhao Yiling with great relief.
Her daughter had always been exceptionally talented and graceful, outstanding from childhood. Moreover, at the mere age of 18, Zhao Yiling had completed all her schooling, including university, unlike Chu Jin, who was only starting her senior year at eighteen.
Therefore, Zhao Yiling had always been Li Ruyu's pride.
Looking over the entire Capital City, the only ones who might be compared to her daughter were probably "the Two Talents of Capital City," Qin Jie and Lu Yan.
With Qin Jie dead and Lu Yan being a whole cycle older than her daughter.
There was no comparison at all.
This Capital City would sooner or later belong to her daughter.
.
In the room, Chu Jin sat in front of the dressing table.
The bright and clean mirror reflected a face that could enchant the nation.
Skin like snow, a charming smile, captivating eyes, red lips, and white teeth; her entire face was so delicate it seemed as if it had been carefully carved by God Himself.
Especially those beguiling peach blossom eyes, one glance and a person would be forever lost in them.
Looking at the reflection in the mirror, Chu Jin's lips slowly curled into a wicked smile, blooming like a poppy.
So enchanting and yet so bloodthirsty.
At this moment, she was Chu Jin returned from the abyss!
Right then, the stunning face in the mirror began to blur slowly.
In a moment, the mirror no longer showed anything.
Chu Jin widened her eyes in disbelief at what was happening before her:
What appeared on that originally bright and clear mirror was full of snowflake-like dots.
Just like the screen of an old television that could not display an image.
And with it came a 'shh-shh-shh' noise.
If she hadn't already died once, she would surely have screamed out loud.
"Ding! Purple Lightning System successfully activated..."
"Purple Lightning System upgrading..."
"Host: Chu Jin."
"Gender: Female."
"Constellation: Taiyin Maiden."
"Body Constitution: Extremely Poor."
...,
Suddenly
A flash of golden light in the mirror, and within seconds, Chu Jin found herself in a vast white space.
The space wasn't large, similar to a cave, with a stone table and a few stone stools beside her.
[Host, welcome back. Would you like to bind with the Purple Lightning System? You have 30 seconds to decide.] A mechanical, lifeless voice echoed in her mind.
At the same time, a transparent screen appeared in the air, displaying the words "Bind Yes/No."
Chu Jin looked at everything happening before her, her mind a bit blank.
Before she could think it over, that hollow voice came through her mind again.
[Host, you have 10 seconds left to decide. If you forsake this opportunity to bind, your rebirth will also be annihilated.]
Her rebirth would be annihilated?
These words made Chu Jin's brow twitch.
Her great vengeance had not been exacted, and she hadn't personally slain her enemy yet! She couldn't just die in vain like this!
Chu Jin raised her graceful hand and swiftly tapped the 'Yes' character on the top of the screen.
The next second, an array of characters for a special ability mantra, the "Purple Lightning Mantra," appeared in Chu Jin's mind.
In an instant, countless characters flooded into her brain.
[Binding successful!]
"Congratulations, host. You have successfully bound to the Purple Lightning System. I am the Guardian Spirit of the Purple Lightning space, welcome back," a faint wisp of green smoke spread out in the air, and within a few seconds, the green smoke gradually dispersed, leaving behind an approximately 5—6-year-old child in the air.
Clad only in a red bellyband, chubby and white, with two pigtails on the head, a red dot between the eyebrows, and two sparkling, watery, large eyes, the child had the adorable appearance of a little charmer.
Like a fortunate doll that had stepped out of a New Year painting.
So cute was the child that Chu Jin felt her heart was about to melt.
She crouched down, reached out to pinch the fortunate doll's cheek, and asked, "Little one, whose child are you?"
"Host!" The fortunate doll took a step back, "I am the Guardian Spirit of the Purple Lightning space—Zi, please refrain from overly familiar gestures."
Despite being such an adorable fortunate doll, it was quite comical how seriously it tried to act like an adult.
Chu Jin slowly stood up, composed herself, and asked, "Where is this place? Why are you saving me?"
"Host, this is the Purple Lightning space. The reason why you have been granted rebirth is because your hatred value reached 100%. Therefore, the Purple Lightning System chose you and selected a suitable body for you."
"Oh," Chu Jin nodded.
Nothing was coincidental, and manna from heaven didn't just fall randomly.
The Purple Lightning System must have chosen her because she possessed something different or, perhaps, the system wanted to achieve a certain goal through her.
Zi read the host's thoughts, "You're right, host. Now, you and the Purple Lightning System are one. If you want to survive in this world long-term, you need to complete the daily tasks set by the system. With each task you complete, the system's trust in you will increase by one level. Twenty levels make one phase, and ten phases the maximum. Once you reach the maximum, the system will automatically unbind from you, and you will have truly achieved rebirth."
Having said this, Zi's little hand formed a gesture in the air.
A wisp of white smoke slowly coiled around the fingertips, which soon transformed into a wooden box.
With a wave of Zi's hand, the wooden box floated towards Chu Jin.
"Host, this is your first task: to become a high-level diviner. This box contains what you need. You have 72 hours to complete the task. If you fail to complete it within the time limit, this rebirth will be destroyed."
A high-level diviner?
72 hours?
Chu Jin's brow furrowed slightly; this was incredibly difficult.
In neither her past life nor her current one had she come into contact with such esoteric arts, and with only 72 hours, it seemed an almost impossible task.
Zi provided reassuring counsel to the preoccupied host, "Don't worry, host. With your natural talent and remarkable foundation, and being the girl of the Supreme Yin, such trifles will never defeat you. Otherwise, the Purple Lightning System wouldn't have chosen you."
Encouraged by the explanation, Chu Jin reached out to catch the wooden box.
As soon as her fingertips touched the box, she felt a warm current surge throughout her body.
And in her palm, the wooden box gradually shrank.
Until it vanished completely.
"This?" Chu Jin asked Zi with some confusion.
Zi began to explain.
"This is the Purple Sound Spirit Box, capable of containing all things in the world. Congratulations, host, it has acknowledged you as its master. No matter when or where, you only need to think of its name, and it will appear in the palm of your hand."
Zi paused briefly.
Then continued, "Also, host, your current constitution is too weak; you need to strengthen it. Here are high-level marrow washing Liquid and Spiritual Power bottles. Tonight, at midnight, consume them. They will unblock your body's extraordinary channels and meridians and enhance your constitution. The process might be extremely painful, but it will only last for two hours. If you endure it, it will be over. Remember, you must remain conscious during these two hours; if you fall asleep, you will 'Scatter Like Ashes."
Zi handed two blue porcelain bottles to Chu Jin.
Observing Zi's expression, Chu Jin understood the gravity of the situation and asked, "How painful will it be?"
Zi glanced at Chu Jin and said meaningfully, "It's akin to a complete rebirth."
Zi didn't know exactly how painful it would be, as it had never tried it.
Many had been reborn due to intense hatred, but just as many had given up their hard-won paths to rebirth because they couldn't endure the excruciating pain, as if bones were being carved and flesh was being drilled.
Yet she had experienced the agony of being consumed by flames in her past life!
What's to fear from a mere complete rebirth?
Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Alright, I understand."
After exchanging a few words with Zi and learning about some of the initial reasons for her situation, Chu Jin used her will to leave the space.
As soon as she exited the space, her cellphone on the vanity started to ring.
It was a call from the hospital.
