End of the World Cycle

Out of curiosity, Xie Qin opened the box and took a look. It was a simple jade bracelet and a jade ring. They should be made from the same piece of material, and the color and water content were very good.

Because Xie Qin had a lot of contact with the Shui family, he had seen many top-grade jades, but this was the first time he had seen something like the one left by Guo Dongkang's mother.

The blue background has purple flowers, and if you look closely, you can see some shadows of spring materials, and there is a green ribbon lingering around the bracelet. Obviously, there are many patterns, but at first glance, this bracelet is simple and elegant.

Xie Qin took it out and thought it looked good. She held it in her hand and tried it out. The circumference was funny! The circumference was only 47 at most, almost catching up with the size of a children's bracelet.

Xie Qin had small hands, so she wanted to give it a try, and she put it on easily. The moment she put it on, Xie Qin's eyes went dark, her body lost weight, and the next moment she was in an unfamiliar place.

Xie Qin was dazzled by the dazzling sunlight. He raised his hand to cover his forehead before his eyes adjusted to the surrounding light.

There was a meadow in front of me. It felt very familiar, a bit like... Ning Cheng's space. I looked at the bracelet on my hand and immediately understood what was going on.

This is a space, just like the beginning of Ning Cheng's book, Ning Cheng also got the space from the jade Guanyin pendant passed down from his ancestors. But this space looks much bigger than Ning Cheng's.

The terrain also varies greatly. There are terraced lands in the distance, mountains about 300 meters high, forests, flowing streams, and various types of vegetation. All the ones Xie Qin can recognize are medicinal herbs. Xie Qin also thinks that the ones he can't recognize should not be underestimated.

Xie Qin was fast and ran tirelessly at the edge of the space. Xiaobao began to record and generate a three-dimensional map of the space based on Xie Qin's movements.

It took more than three hours to complete this round, and only half of the area was created.

[Master, this place is too big, and there are mines all over the ground. I have never seen such a large space before.]

As soon as Xiaobao finished speaking, Xie Qin sensed a noise outside the space. It must be Qin Zhang who came back.

[Is there any way for you to test it yourself? 】

[I don't know. If this place belonged to you, I would definitely stay here. The problem is that this place is not yours yet.]

Xie Qin looked at the bracelet on her hand and hesitated. She was not familiar with Ning Cheng before, so she could take other people's spiritual spring water against her conscience. But this one belonged to Guo Dongkang. Even if she wanted it very much, she couldn't get over that hurdle.

[Let’s go out first, and try again later. ]

【it is good. 】

When Xie Qin left the space, the knocking sound outside the bedroom door seemed a little impatient.

"Qinqin? Qinqin, are you in there? Qinqin?"

After Xie Qin opened the door, she saw Qin Zhang, who looked anxious.

"I was so scared. I knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response."

"I fell asleep. You're back so soon?"

"It's getting late and it's almost dark. I brought some food back from the cafeteria. Do you want to eat some?" Qin Zhang pointed to the take-away box on the table.

Xie Qin walked over and took a look. He had no appetite as his mind was full of the space scene he had just seen.

"I'm not hungry, so I won't eat yet. I'm a little sleepy, so I'm going to sleep."

"You...you're not absorbing superpowers today?"

"Well, I'm a little tired. Let's go tomorrow." Xie Qin shook her head and closed the door. Qin Zhang thought that Xie Qin had just realized that his back was injured because of his grandmother's death, so he didn't bother her too much. He also returned to his room.

In the space, Xie Qin sat on the grass beside the stream, carefully feeling the changes around him. Xiaobao had already explored the entire area, a full 40 square kilometers. It was like a small ecological area, but there were no other creatures except vegetation.

Looking at the moving clouds in the sky and a small sun, the sun was also setting, and gradually the space became darker. It should be night.

Xie Qin had no intention of going out and lay directly on the grass. The temperature inside was about 24 degrees, neither hot nor cold. Xie Qin fell asleep in a daze. When the raindrops hit his face, Xie Qin suddenly woke up.

In space...it’s raining!

There are days and nights here, clouds and light rain. The climate changes smoothly. If it weren't for Xie Qin's sharp mental power, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this space and the outside world.

This place is like a small world. Xie Qin left the space, with water droplets on her skin and raindrops on her clothes. After changing her clothes, Xie Qin went to sleep, only thinking about meeting Xiang Sixing early tomorrow, maybe he would know something. She always felt that the things in this life were developing towards a field she didn't know.

Xie Qin arrived at the place they had agreed to meet yesterday on time. Xiang Sixing was already waiting there, holding a thick book in his hand. When he saw Xie Qin coming, he raised his hand and greeted her.

Xie Qin trotted to Xiang Sixing. Before she could tell him what happened last night, the book appeared in Xie Qin's hand.

Shocked! It was indeed shocking. The cover of this book was of me, wearing combat uniform, standing on the ruins of the apocalypse, holding a weapon in my hand, looking ahead with a half-smile, blood on my face and hands, and four big words written below.

(Doomsday loop)

“This… This is…”

"Your book."

"My book? What do you mean?!"

"The Skynet system has decided to repair this small world. And you are the tasker, but your situation is very special. You are only given a goal, but there are no restrictions on your process."

"I do not know how?"

"The mission system will only be activated after you obtain the golden finger. After it is connected to your Doomsday Fortress system, you will know everything. But I am just a small leader, so I knew these things before you. By the way, I brought this to you." Xiang Si Xing pointed to the book given to Xie Qin.

Xie Qin lowered her head and opened the book that Xiang Sixing had given her. The first page was about her reincarnation and killing her stepfather. The rest was about what had happened to her in the past few years, but it was written very briefly, with only the important parts connecting the stories. The plot had already reached the point where she had discovered the space last night.

"So what is this?" Xie Qin raised the hand wearing the jade bracelet to show Xiang Sixing.

"The main system has arranged a golden finger for you."

"What about Qin Zhang?" Xie Qin had a bad feeling.

"The system assigns you the male lead." Xiang Sixing replied.

"No wonder...it turns out he is the male lead?" Now Xie Qin could understand everything, why Qin Zhang was so gifted, and why there were always various circumstances connecting them together.

So this is the official match arranged for me by the so-called system!

"So does Qin Zhang have any golden fingers? Logically, the male lead's conditions should not be worse than mine."

"I don't know about that. If you activate your cheat code and connect the small fort to the main system, you will know everything. Although the future is unknown, the small fort will be able to find out anything you want to know after it has more permissions."

“So my goal now is?”

"Help humanity survive. Prevent human civilization from becoming extinct on this planet."

"What if I didn't do it?"

“Look at the title of this book.”

"Doomsday loop..."

"Yes, it will continue indefinitely until you succeed."

"This is really a good way to catch a bug. If I don't complete the task, I can live for many, many years."

"It's not as simple as you think. With each cycle, the difficulty of this world will increase by one star, and your living environment will become increasingly difficult. The hardships you face will also become more and more difficult. If you cycle a few more times, I'm afraid you will have a hard time staying alive."

"What happens when you complete the mission?"

"Maybe you'll have the chance to become a formal employee of Skynet like me. Go to many small worlds to carry out missions or something."

"A lot? Worlds?"

"Yeah, a lot. So much that you can't even imagine." Xiang Sixing lowered his head and smiled faintly. His thoughts seemed to drift away. There were too many. He had been working for Skynet for more than 819,600 years.

If Yangyang has three more pieces, he can come back. Thinking of this, Xiang Sixing was happy. Soon, he and Yangyang would never be separated again.

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing, your golden finger, do you know how to open it?"

"Yes, blood."

"Then go back and fix it. Xiaobao will help you later. It will automatically connect to the main system and know more than me."

"It's just that this is someone else's thing... I..."

"Don't feel burdened. The golden finger set by the system is originally yours." Xiang Sixing patted Xie Qin's shoulder with a smile and said.

"Ah."

Xie Qin nodded, and after parting with Xiang Sixing, Xie Qin returned to Qin Zhang's dormitory. Qin Zhang was not there, he must have gone to the army. The military dormitory was very quiet during the day, and there was basically no one. After all, there were almost no family members who could accompany the army at this time.

Xie Qin returned to the bedroom, locked the door, and entered the space. Knowing what had happened, Xie Qin did not hesitate and cut his index finger with a knife. Blood dripped onto the bracelet and then disappeared. . . .
