Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System
Chapter 1218 - 1216: Secret Safe

[If your mom and your girlfriend fall into the water at the same time, who would you save first? This age-old question isn't hard for him to choose.] Sally scoffed.

[If your husband and child fall into the water at the same time, who would the host save first?] Xiaomei asked with a laugh.

Sally replied without thinking: [Of course the child! Not only would I save them first, but my husband, even if he's floundering, would have to help me save the child. Also, I wouldn't marry someone who can't swim.]

[It would be best if he's won a gold medal in a swimming competition.] Xiaomei replied.

[... Who said anything about Gu Cheng.] Sally's face blushed slightly.

Xiaomei watched as Sally's emotional value rose instantly, [Xiaomei didn't mention Gu Cheng either.]

[Xiaomei!]

[Hee~]

Sally continued watching the screen, [It seems that Sun Yali didn't attend school, she must have learned about the Life Ark in advance, so she hooked up with this guy and got a boarding spot.]

[Zhang Chaolin was infatuated with the lamb-like Sun Yali through live murder broadcasts.]

[That's ... also perverted! Bound to become a disgrace and scum of society sooner or later.]

The image on the screen suddenly changed, and a dignified and noble-looking woman appeared on the screen.

Sally was momentarily stunned, then said, "Your Highness, the Third Princess."

"I'll get straight to the point, there's no spot for you on the Life Ark." The Third Princess's expression was cold, with no trace of past gentleness and kindness.

Sally replied, "I know. Just now, the bracelet was taken, and I'm inside the security room."

Third Princess: "There are 18.27 billion people in the world, and yet only 45,892 spots on the ark. Each one of them represents humanity's hope!

After this natural disaster, if Qianyuan Star can still be survived by humans, they will return and rebuild their home.

If not, they will take our civilization, cross the Ziwei Star System, and go to distant others stars in search of survival.

That will also be an adventure, and no one hopes to leave their homeland."

Sally remained silent. According to Xiaomei, they found another planet similar to Qianyuan Star, suitable for human survival twenty years ago.

But it's too far from Qianyuan Star... and the Life Ark could not be built in a few days or even months, it took a full twenty years, exhausting all strength to finally construct this one Life Ark.

But whether it can truly cross the vast distance and reach the new star is still uncertain.

However, having hope is always good.

"I don't care about boarding the ark. I'm just curious about this person named Gu Bin Hong."

The Third Princess's expression suddenly changed.

Seeing her reaction, Sally knew what Xiaomei said was true.

"So, Gu Cheng is indeed just a substitute, taking all the harm, open attacks and hidden threats meant for Gu Bin Hong since childhood. The woman he called 'mom' for over ten years isn't even his biological mother."

The Third Princess's face grew uglier, and she temporarily muted the sound, turning to the waiting attendant beside her, "Clean her up!"

Then she unmuted and continued speaking to Sally, "You saw the study, the things in the secret safe!"

"Yes." Sally didn't deny it, in fact, it was Xiaomei who scanned it. She was too lazy to read books, let alone open a secret safe.

Anything that enters the System Space within Xiaomei is scanned by Xiaomei. That secret safe was no exception, and even if it was locked, Xiaomei could open it in seconds.

"Does Xiao Cheng know?"

"He doesn't know yet."

"How about trading you a boarding spot on the Life Ark?"

"Go up just to be controlled by you or silenced." Sally looked outside, "All the bracelets are green, the one you gave him is purple-gold, it clearly isn't meant for Life Ark boarding."

"... His genes and current physical data aren't enough to board the Life Ark." The Third Princess's tone was icy, and even carried a lethal intent.

"Also, my mom and dad. You had my mom manipulate the old Emperor's mind, record the video of passing the throne to you, and draft a handwritten edict of succession. Then you had them investigate black holes, took the opportunity to harm them, pushing them into the Abyss, never to return. Did Gu Zhen Ting know about all this?" Sally suddenly thought of that imposing and dignified man.

Several men in black arrived outside the security room.

"Secrets! Only one person knows, then it's a secret!" The Third Princess ended the transmission upon seeing her death squad in black.

Because she knew, Sally was certainly doomed!

Sally looked at the men in black and suddenly laughed.

[Xiaomei, weave the memory!]

[Four people, four reputation points.]

[Agreed.]

Sally disappeared from the security room.

Through Xiaomei's memory editing, the men in black remembered handling Sally, throwing her into the incinerator, leaving not even ashes behind.

...

Sally hadn't intended to come back.

But Xiaomei informed her that the scan results showed Gu Cheng was a substitute for Gu Bin Hong.

The two had their identities swapped since birth.

Later, she found Gu Zhen Ting's name on the Life Ark list, and a person named Gu Bin Hong was listed after him, but Gu Cheng wasn't.

He truly was treated as an abandoned child by the Third Princess.

If he reached that point and discovered the cruel truth, at least she could be by his side, perhaps making it a bit better. Just like he was by her side when she learned of her parents' demise.

However, she hadn't expected him to have a boarding bracelet!

Could it be that the Third Princess still acknowledged him? After all, a decade of feelings can't be erased with a single word.

But unexpectedly, the bracelet triggered an alarm.

At that time, the alert indicated that the bracelet didn't match the registered information.

Perhaps the Third Princess did give Gu Cheng the chance to board the ark. But after he gave the bracelet to her, since the information didn't match, the opportunity was lost.

Or maybe, the Third Princess anticipated him giving the bracelet to her, so she intentionally designed this trap. If Gu Cheng or Gu Zhen Ting questioned later, she'd have an explanation ready.

The Third Princess was certainly no simple character, manipulating everyone like pieces on a board.

If it weren't for this meteor disaster, she could have indeed become the Empress.

Sally concealed her identity, wore a cat mask, and continued the tasks Xiaomei assigned her.

The Life Ark set sail, carrying the kindling of human civilization to other viable planets!

Those left behind could only watch the ark, filled with despair!

...

[Because the host used reputation points to stop the meteor, now as long as someone prays toward the meteor, wishing it doesn't fall, the host will gain faith-converted reputation points. Currently, the host's reputation points are full at 10 million!]

[Then, can I continue using reputation points to delay its impact?]

[Yes.]

[Continue delaying.]

[Okay, host, currently the host's reputation points: 0.]
