Chapter 21 Last Chance

Li Yue turned silent at the system's words.

Last Chance.

That single phrase was enough to make her stop whatever it is that she was about to do. This is her last chance. Her lips thinned, her hands clenched as she thought about the memories that she lost. The system told her she still has a chance to get her life back. However, she does not remember anything. Not her name and certainly not the reason why she was traveling to different worlds, saving protagonists and redeeming its villains.

With a frown, Li Yue closed her laptop and chose to calm herself. If she wanted to survive in this world she needed to be more careful. She needed to take this task seriously.

"I can hurt people, right?"

[As long as you do not kill the main character]

"What do I gain if I do this mission right?" she asked.

[Coins, and the original timeline of the worlds you 'visit' will be downloaded inside your mind once you start every mission.]

Li Yue hung her head, contemplating her next move. The system was right. If she posts the video now, it would surely attract much undesired attention. Lu Xinyi and her parents can easily afford to pay hackers to crack her IP address and locate her. If that happens, she will only attract more attention to herself.

She needed to be smart and calculating in making her moves. A long sigh left her lips. She needed to step up her game so these people won't bully her.

With this in mind, Li Yue got herself a flash drive and copied everything that she had on her laptop. Then, she also used a cloud storage system to copy everything that she had against Lu Xinyi. "I will give it a few days." She said to herself. For now, pretending to be weak and cowardly is her best option.

Li Yue took another hour organizing her thoughts before she was finally able to calm down. Then she went to have dinner at a restaurant where a lot of students frequented. With her huge hood and scarf, no one was able to recognize Li Yue.

Of course, she did this with a plan in mind. Just as Li Yue was about to leave the small eatery, she slipped the flash drive that she had brought earlier into an unsuspecting student's bag. This is what Li Yue meant when she said she will give it a few days.

Is she really the type of person who would patiently wait for Lu Xinyi to bully her again? That will never be her, not in a thousand worlds.

[Self-reflection completed. Side Quests are now unlocked!]

"What was that?" she asked. Side Quest? Self Reflection? She did not remember ever having a side quest before. All she knew was that her main quest was to stop the villain from killing the lead.

[Congratulations on your self-reflection. Please note that your side quests are triggered by your emotions and current situation.]

[Side Quest: Make Lu Xinyi suffer. You have two days to start the mission. Seven days will be given to finish the quest. Reward: 100 coins. Accept?]

Li Yue blinked. Then she blinked again as she remembered the robot's words about not exposing herself just seconds ago.

"Accept." Li Yue heard herself say.

[Side Quest Accepted. Make Lu Xinyi suffer. You have seven days to accomplish the task. The countdown begins at midnight.]

[Good Evening, host. My name is Bee.]

Is this why the robot told her before that she was not qualified to know its name yet? "Bee? Eh? That sounds weird." Li Yue smiled. In all honesty, she does not care about the system's name. She had already decided to call it Robot anyway.

When Li Yue thought about it, she quickly realized that Robot had been doing the same thing the past few times that she killed people. She had stopped her into doing something. During those moments, she didn't listen and just did what she wanted.

However, now, she decided to halt her plans and wait for a few days instead of letting her anger get the best of her. Moreover, she already decided to take this mission seriously. Beaming, Li Yue looked at the data on her laptop again.

Since she had seven days to ruin that woman then she would start now. First, Li Yue gathered her coat and went out of her apartment. She then went to the mall and bought some flash drives. Li Yue then quickly had dinner and went back to her apartment.

That night Li Yue copied everything that she had in each flash drive.

...

What she did not expect is for Lu Xinyi to try another scheme against her. Li Yue never thought that Lu Xinyi's hatred runs so deep, she would not stop until Li Yue died of embarrassment.

On the next day, Li Yue walk inside the school and immediately notice the dirty stare that people were giving her.

"Oi, Li Yue! How could you be so shameless?" a voice called out behind her. When Li Yue turned her head, she immediately remembered this as Lu Xinyi's friends. "You really dared to hurt Xinyi last night? Just you see, Lu Xinyi's parents are coming towards the school today! They will have you expelled, you poisonous fake phoenix!"

Li Yue calmly looked at the group of people before she decided to go to the library instead of attending her classes. Since Lu Xinyi is hell-bent of destroying her… then she will let her a taste of her own medicine. Li Yue started to walk around in the library, intentionally leaving the flash drive around the area.

After leaving about five flash drive in the library, she went to the food courts inside the school and started leaving the flash drive in the vacant seats too. Li Yue decided to let other people expose Lu Xinyi, as she watched on the sidelines.

Li Yue realized that the only thing that she lacks right now is money. However, she could still use her brains against this woman. She might not be rich, but surely, there are other ways to expose that woman, right? After that, Li Yue went to the other parts of the school, leaving flash drives everywhere she goes. She might not have the money to pay people to harass Lu Xinyi but Li Yue was confident that the amount of blackmail materials that she had is enough to make everyone in the school bow down to her.
