Chapter 38 - 1.35

That day was Qin Zicheng's last day on Earth, a man that would be well missed by his subordinates that could only recall the glorious days when their boss was so valiant in his actions. His momentum shook the Earth everywhere he went.

This trait retained even after Xu Jiaqi's death, but it was as if something within the man snapped. He was never the same. No one ever questioned the change because they all respected what the man had gone through and understood how much of an impact it brought to him. Thus, Qin Zicheng still commanded his underlings to stir the world with his actions, but he never had a great ambition.

His wish was only to preserve what Xu Jiaqi loved, and prove to her that he was capable of maintaining the legacy that she had left behind. The Qin company was just like an additional thing to him, a complete opposite of him in the past. He now focused more on the Xu company despite his bloodline surfacing from the Qins.

All because of a single woman's legacy. A dead woman's lingering presence.

Everybody thought that it was quite a shame how Qin Zicheng turned out. He had ruined himself because he was enraptured with a woman.

He was therefore buried beside Xu Jiaqi, forever resting in peace. There was no longer suffering haunting the man.

His story became both famous for a good and bad reason. People saw Qin Zicheng and Xu Jiaqi's love story, which had actually rose to fame after being publicized, as an honorable model of how deep love can be. On the other hand, they were also used as a prime example to remind people that they should not act rash like the man and think in a rational way.

Xu Jiaqi observed the last bits of the world's ending with mirth in her eyes. Zhou Yuan and Bai Mengxue both got removed. Qin Zicheng grew old and passed away with unresolved anguish and countless torment harming him for years. Xu Jiaqi did not support Zhou Yuan at all and died early, but she was supposed to die early in the original story as well, only in a much more heinous way than the current outcome.

"The story.. Is completely destroyed, right? The ending I brought is probably not the one that you guys desire, but what else can I do? I like doing it this way. Haha." Xu Jiaqi dryly laughed as she stretched her body, which was restored in the System space.

Her appearance stayed the same in this tutorial world. but the System had told her that both her looks and name might change in the future and that it is best if she starts to learn how to get accustomed to her new identities fast.

She did not need such a thing because she was an expert author, and thus could easily resolve that sort of trouble.

The problem she worried about was the grading system. She passed the missions in her way. In her eyes, the missions should be completed. She followed the criteria it gave. However, it couldn't be ignored that she did destroy the original fate completely and indirectly killed off the important leads. She wondered if those facts would affect the grade she got, and ended up biting her nails as she waited for the Sytem to process her records and give a suitable grade derived from the Main System.

"It should be fine.. it should be fine. If it's not fine, then it's not my fault anyway, it's the System's fault for not appreciating my way of doing things." Xu Jiaqi brainwashed herself.

She had to wait a couple minutes before the System popped back out with a 'Ding!' sound. At the same time, several windows dropped down in front of Xu Jiaqi's face. Text were written on it.

Xu Jiaqi read the text with interest in her eyes. To be exact, the line that specified her grade. 

[Grade: SS+]

"Grade.. SS+!! Maximum! Is that maximum, System?" Xu Jiaqi said. Although she herself did not believe that she could make a failure happen, she did worry about her first grade since she didn't know the gauge of the System's grading notes.

She was satisfied. SS+ grade sounded exceptionally high.

[It is indeed maximum. I told you that the tutorial world will be significantly easier and that it would be fine if you just ran amok here if it's under a certain bar, right? Thus, your score will still be this high despite the things you did. However, this same fact can't apply to future cases. Host, please get used to solving things as a normal agent should.]

"Normal is boring. Haven't you heard, System? In order to achieve happiness in life, one must step out of their comfort zone and wreak havoc in the world. It's a great saying, meaning you should bring change." Xu Jiaqi retorted.

[You made that up on the spot, Host. Also, even if it was true, the change they are talking about doesn't mean the death of two main leads, right?]

"It does, it does. Now, there should be rewards, right? Let's not talk about the little matters anymore, I want to see my rewards!" Xu Jiaqi exclaimed.

[Here you go, Host. I will be able to receive an update from the Main System, and this would increase your authority in the future. As for you, Host, you will be able to receive this.] The System dropped down an item from the System space's sky, and Xu Jiaqi caught it in her hands.

Her eyes scanned the item with great interest as she hummed and stroked the object. It was a fan with intricate flowery embroideries embedded into it, creating an elegant sense to whoever wore it.

[Ding! Obtained the Qiyue Fan.]

"Qiyue Fan? Fancy name." Xu Jiaqi said as she clicked on the windows to view the item in depth.

[Qiyue Fan <Trial>

-This fan is the remnants of a past Lesser Wind Goddess who fell in love with a mortal, and wanted to give the mortal powers to defend themselves. A lesser version of the original artifact. Use this fan to summon a huge blade of wind that will heed your call.. This fan can be used for a total of three times and has limitations in specific situations.]
