Chapter 483: Chapter 484 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 1_1

Zhang Yu glanced at the rewards for this mission, a score within her expectations. Indeed, the mission should have been completed perfectly, so a high score was inevitable.

Just as she was about to close the screen and brace for the new assignment, she scrolled down and discovered there was an extra Virtue Point.

That score above was quite substantial, too. Was it a reward for doing many good deeds or for helping many people?

She couldn’t quite remember having such a thing before, Zhang Yu thought for a moment, but she wasn’t really sure.

There was no way around it; she used to focus only on the score given by the client after mission completion, and the total points she had.

Although she didn’t understand what use the points had, her subconscious told her that points were beneficial—completing more missions and doing them well was advantageous for her.

But what was this new Virtue Point?

If she didn’t understand, the only thing she could do was ask the System.

The System quickly replied: "The System awards points based on the number of good deeds and the amount of help provided by the mission agent in the last mission."

Alright, just as she had guessed, that was the purpose of Virtue Points.

Zhang Yu: "What’s the use of this?"

That was the information she really wanted to know. After all, what was the actual use of this thing?

System: "The higher the score, the better it is for your future mission participation."

Such a response made Zhang Yu purse her lips. It really was a useless trifle, no better than chicken ribs.

It was just like getting no answer at all—best not to have too many expectations of this System.

Just then, the System spoke up on its own: "Please do not doubt my capabilities. I am not telling you because the time is not yet right."

The time is not yet right? Zhang Yu was completely baffled; the conversation was really going nowhere.

It’s not about the right time; it’s just that the more points, the better. Forget it, I don’t want to know. What would change if I knew? Could it possibly increase the points?

System: "It’s impossible to add points. Projects that could grant additional points are all listed in detail at the moment you accept the task."

Zhang Yu was now quite calm about the System chipping in from time to time; she felt like the System could really read her mind, knowing her inner thoughts.

Sometimes, she was really curious. If the System was so capable, why didn’t it complete the tasks by itself, rather than having her, no, them do it.

After all, what difference did knowing make? Knowing too much only added to her fatigue.

With the time spent thinking too much, she might as well consider how to take on more tasks.

Zhang Yu spoke up, "Accept mission."

The System wasn’t surprised by Zhang Yu’s choice and quickly immersed her into the new mission.

What Zhang Yu didn’t know was, at the moment her figure disappeared, the System spoke again: "Such a diligent person. If everyone else were as diligent, there wouldn’t be so many tasks waiting to be completed."

The System glanced at the points and mused: "The points are rising quickly, huh. Should I consider giving less next time?"

The System was worried that if Zhang Yu reached the agreed-upon score, what would happen if she stopped accepting tasks? Such an excellent employee was indeed rare.

After a thought, the System decided: "Maybe offer a discount in the future and if discovered, just say that after completing a certain number of missions, the scoring will be adjusted."

When Zhang Yu originally signed the contract, she hadn’t paid much attention to the requirements, so the System didn’t think she’d notice if it changed things this way.

Reflecting on this, the System couldn’t help but praise itself: "I really am a genius."

Busy embracing the mission, Zhang Yu had no idea about any of this. Otherwise, she would have regretted her eagerness.

Regrettably, right now she knew nothing of it. Just as Zhang Yu was about to turn over to sleep, she heard loudspeakers outside playing revolutionary songs, and the broadcasts were all encouraging intellectuals to go and develop the vast world.

No way, Zhang Yu’s first reaction was, had she come to the revolutionary era?

Oh my goodness. She hadn’t looked into the original host’s memories, but what she did know was the client for this task should be a city dweller; otherwise, there wouldn’t be such broadcasting, so persuasively encouraging everyone to become "sent-down youths."

It was unclear whether the client was set on becoming a sent-down youth. Zhang Yu turned over and continued to rest. No one was calling her to get up, which was convenient for her to receive the task.

Soon, the client’s information appeared in her mind. After a quick scan, all Zhang Yu could do was sigh deeply.

A naïve and sweet girl who provided excellent protection for her family and was also focused on familial affection.

It’s not that children who value family connections are bad, but how should I put it... Family affection should be mutual. You treat relatives well, and they should treat you well, too.

Otherwise, it’s just setting yourself up for being bullied—just like this girl who had a cousin who was obsessed with romance.

Using the excuse that having each other for company would be good, she coaxed the girl into signing up to become a sent-down youth together, moving to a village in the Northeast to work the land.

The girl thought that despite the long journey from the distant South to the North, at least she had her cousin for mutual support.

What she didn’t anticipate was her cousin borrowing everything she brought from home, including things her family sent later, under various pretexts and never returning them.

To make matters worse, the cousin didn’t keep these items for herself but gave them to the boy she was secretly in love with.

The girl was oblivious at first, thinking she was merely aiding her cousin. But when she found out who her cousin was giving her items to, she was so furious that she literally got sick and went to confront him.

The boy didn’t think he was in the wrong at all and even insinuated that she was just a child and that being a sent-down youth here was all thanks to his care.

This infuriated the girl further. The so-called care turned out to be her looking after him; he never cooked or cleaned, with all the chores falling on her.

Since the cousin was lazy at work, she didn’t earn many work points and didn’t get much grain at the year’s end, so she began deceiving the girl to get her share.

Unable to argue with her cousin, the girl was frustrated and decided to stop dealing with her, but then the cousin couldn’t get what she wanted from her anymore.

In a fit of rage, while the girl was alone on the mountain gathering firewood, the cousin pushed her off the mountain to her death without hesitation.

As the murderer, she casually walked down from the mountain, and when the sent-down youths realized the girl hadn’t returned, she even hypocritically joined the search.

What was more outrageous was that when the girl’s family came to the Northeast, she boasted about how she had taken care of the little girl, Yunyun. The girl’s family, in turn, helped her without stint.

In her business endeavors, they extended their support, which helped her career take off and thrive right from the start.

Heartless people, no matter the time, only think about themselves and have no room for others in their hearts.

For better prospects, they can even join forces with the enemies of the unfortunate girl’s family, and ultimately the family doesn’t end up well.
