“Sure, I will.”
“Oh, by the way, there’s also a city travel card, which contains 100 merits per month for your travel expenses. If you don’t use it, it will be wasted, so make sure you don’t waste it. Also, this cannot be cashed out for other expenses, so be careful about that. Otherwise, you’ll end up on the dishonesty blacklist, and that will affect how your future tasks are evaluated. Make sure to pay attention to this. It’s also a good idea to review the company employee handbook, as it will benefit you when working on tasks in the future. ”
Liu Fang just realized there’s something called the employee handbook. She quickly nodded and said, “I’ll make sure to read it. Thank you, Minister.”
“You’re welcome. That’s the way it should be. Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. Take your time shopping.”
“Alright, Minister, take care.”
“Bye-Bye.”
Liu Fang watched the minister walk away, let out a long sigh, and looked up at the sky. The brilliant sunset had dyed the clouds at the edge of the horizon a golden yellow, making it especially beautiful.
(ー_ー)!!
So, does the underworld also have white clouds and blue skies? Day and night?
The Intelligent Housekeeper suddenly said, “The underworld is also a world, so it naturally has a normal sky, day and night, sun, moon, and stars. What’s so strange about that?”
Liu Fang was surprised, “Wait, aren’t you an intelligent butler? Aren’t you supposed to only follow my commands? Why did you suddenly change?”
The Intelligent Housekeeper responded in a more human-like tone, “Didn’t I already say that the system was upgraded? So now, my intelligence level has increased—I can chat and talk with you. How is it? Surprised? Unexpected?”
Liu Fang: Haha.
But after chatting with the director just now and experiencing the intelligent butler’s more human-like responses, Liu Fang gradually returned to reality, stepping out of the emotions from the mission world.
No wonder some people say that employees in the Quick Transmigration Department didn’t last long. Experiencing one mission world after another was truly exhausting!
Fortunately, she was not from the Correction Division. Otherwise, if every mission was like this one, Liu Fang felt that she would definitely go insane.
Since her mood had recovered, she wanted to go back, carefully read the employee handbook, and check what compensation she had received for this mission and how much merit she had earned.
Thinking of the travel card, Liu Fang decided to try taking the bus in the underworld. It was really convenient, fast, and the price was very affordable—only one merit point.
Before long, Liu Fang returned to her dormitory. Closing the door, she opened the task log to check the evaluation of this mission.
Mission completed: Five stars.
Completion Rating: Perfect.
Merit gained: 500.
A one-star free mission grants 100 merit points per star earned. By this logic, the maximum reward is 1,000 merit points for ten stars.
Liu Fang widened her eyes: “Oh my god! The missions from the Correction Division are way too rewarding!”
Is there really that much merit?
The Intelligent Butler said: “Of course! The Correction Division specializes in restoring the heavenly order of small worlds, so the merit rewards are definitely high!”
That’s true.
Liu Fang continued to read on.
Mission completer: Liu Fang, intern from the Concubine Contentment Division.
Mission anomaly handling: Compensation of 1,000 merit points. Additionally, the treasure obtained by the tasker in the mission world—Portable Space—will be retained as a benefit and can be carried into future mission worlds.
Unexpected gains from the mission: Encountered a traveler from another world, gained 1 contribution point. Received a personal storage space, gained 1 contribution point.
After reading it, Liu Fang was finally satisfied. She opened her merit balance to check, and a bright red number was displayed: 1685.
It filled her with joy!
The upgraded system task list had also changed, now including a prologue. The experiences of the original owner in their previous life, which could only be viewed after completing the task.
At the same time, there was also a character list that recorded all of Liu Fang’s personal information.
Liu Fang first opened her character list to take a look.

Gender : Female.
Merits and demerits during lifetime : Average.
Merits : 1685.

–End–
Liu Fang: (ー_ー)!!.
So, after all her hard work completing a mission for the Correction Division, she only earned a little over a thousand merit points and got a so-called “personal storage space” that could only store items? And it even had a size limit?
What the heck is this?!
The Intelligent Butler said, “That’s normal. You’re not a full-time employee of the Correction Division, so if you were given an overpowered cheat, wouldn’t that make your tasks effortless? That would be unfair to employees from other divisions. Completing tasks should rely on your own abilities, okay? Stop thinking about relying on cheats. Don’t you get it? Why do you think Liu Zhi turned out to be such a disaster? It’s because she was given an insanely overpowered cheat ”
After hearing this, Liu Fang understood. She actually knew just how powerful the portable space Liu Zhi had received was.
Not only did it have a spiritual spring and spiritual fields, but it also contained all kinds of incredible martial arts manuals, and a treasure basin that could endlessly generate gold and silver. It was easy to imagine—getting such a treasure would drive any ordinary person crazy—with joy
So, it was understandable that Liu Zhi lost herself in the moment back then.
However, Liu Fang was also very curious about what the original world was like. She opened the prologue and looked through the original owner’s life.
…………
The original owner grew up in Western Border. Although she did not have the martial arts manual that Liu Fang possessed to study, she was still very talented. By learning the martial arts taught by Liu Da, she had enough self-defense skills to protect herself.
However, such martial prowess was of little use when the barbarian army attacked the Western Border. In the end, she was captured and sent to Tuoba Yaoheng, who had taken control of Liucheng.
Of course, Liu Zhi was there as well.
Both sisters were beauties, each with their own unique charm. Especially the original owner, whose appearance was truly irresistible, making any man who saw her unable to remain unmoved.
So, naturally, the original owner was taken by Tuoba Yaoheng and became his concubine, his new favorite.
However, the original owner had always remembered the hatred for her country and family in her heart. She had only temporarily submitted, pretending to be obedient to Tuoba Yaoheng.
She had been waiting for the right opportunity to kill that bastard—the one who led the army that destroyed her country and slaughtered her family and fellow countrymen
The original owner knew that she was very beautiful, but her combat strength was not enough to confront them head-on.
Thus, the original host began using her beauty to sow discord among the nobles of the barbarian tribe, turning them against each other. In the end, their internal conflicts became so intense that it significantly slowed down their invasion of the Dayan Kingdom.
As a result, this gave the Dayan Kingdom an opportunity, as well as a chance for Murong Zhuo and Murong Yue, who were far away in the capital.
For the first time, the two brothers set aside their differences and joined forces. For the sake of the Dayan Kingdom and its people, they launched a palace coup together, overthrowing Emperor Yanqing, who cared only about his own power and authority.
Murong Zhuo officially ascended the throne. In a time of crisis, entrusted Murong Yue with the task of confronting Tuoba Yaoheng and his forces.
When the original owner, trapped in the inner courtyard, heard that the commander of the Dayan Kingdom’s forces was the Second Prince, she immediately came up with an idea.
She carefully devised a plan and finally managed to trick Liu Zhi into giving her a colorless, tasteless poison.
At that time, Liu Zhi was infatuated with Tuoba Yaoheng and wholeheartedly schemed for him, wanting to overthrow the Dayan Kingdom’s royal family and help Tuoba Yaoheng ascend the throne as the ruler of a new nation.
However, the original owner understood that everything Tuoba Yaoheng said was nothing but lies.
If the barbarians truly conquered the entire Dayan Kingdom, the Dayan Kingdom people would inevitably become a subjugated nation—enslaved by the barbarians for generations, never able to rise again.
He might even go as far as to massacre the entire Dayan Kingdom’s people!
To be precise, he would slaughter all the young and able-bodied men of the Dayan Kingdom!
He would leave only the elderly, women, and children, allowing them to be enslaved for generations, completely turning the people of the Dayan Kingdom into barbarians.
The original owner could not bear to see her fellow countrymen slaughtered, nor could she tolerate such a barbaric tribe ruling the nation.
So, she decided to poison the entire nobles of the barbarian tribe!
That’s right, she didn’t just want to poison Tuoba Yaoheng—she wanted to wipe out the entire Tuoba clan!
So, she waited. When Tuoba Yaoheng returned victorious and held a grand celebration banquet, she drugged Liu Zhi unconscious, tied her up, and locked her in the inner courtyard.
Then she went to the main kitchen and dropped the colorless, tasteless poison into the well.
The poison in Liu Zhi’s portable space was unbelievably powerful. It was practically a massive cheat.
With just that one pill, all the celebrating barbarians were poisoned to death—including the original owner herself.
Before she died, she laughed maniacally, unable to stop even as blood spilled from her mouth.
It was only at that moment that Tuoba Yaoheng realized the concubine he had thought was a delicate, peerless beauty was actually a fearless heroine who had been plotting his death all along!
In his final moments, he asked, “Why?”
He had treated her so well, wanting nothing more than to present her with the most precious things in the world. Why could she still not let go of the past?
All those days and nights they spent intimately together—was it all just an illusion?
The original owner laughed as she cried, “You are my enemy! We could only ever be enemies! Haha…And yet, you naively thought that with treasures and fine clothes, you could win me over? That you could make me forget the horrors of that fateful night? Haha, hahahaha…you’re truly ridiculous!”
Tuoba Yaoheng felt a sharp pain in his chest, unable to tell whether it was from her words or the poison.
“Heh, is that so? Are we only destined to be enemies? Haha… I really am ridiculous!”
To have truly fallen for a prisoner from an enemy nation—indeed, it was utterly laughable!
And just like that, the original owner died, exchanging her own life for the lives of the entire barbarian army.
When Liu Zhi woke up, broke free from the ropes, opened the door and saw everything at the scene, she also went crazy!
Only then did she realize that everything she had desired and fought for was actually despicable, even laughable in her sister’s eyes!
Even if she had physically submitted, her spirit and soul never did. She would forever remember how her father, elder brothers, mother, and sisters-in-law had died so tragically. That night, she would never forget how the people of Liucheng and the soldiers defending it perished.
So, she endured, gritting her teeth through all the pain, just to wait for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—to utterly destroy the entire barbarian tribe!
An entire army of over 500,000 barbarians was completely wiped out in a single night!
Murong Yue, the commander sent to reclaim the lost territory, let out a long sigh after hearing about this: What a pity, such a brave and fearless woman!
This earth-shattering battle left both the barbarian tribe and the Dayan Kingdom severely weakened.
Afterward, the Western Border essentially became a desolate wasteland.
Apart from the stationed soldiers, there were no longer any resilient civilians striving to survive despite the hardships. Gone were the united figures who once stood together to defend their homeland. And there were no more heroic souls who had become one with the burial mounds of fallen warriors.
The Western Border gradually faded into time, disappearing into the long river of history, never to exist again.
No one remembered that once, there had been such a city and such a people—brave, fearless, and most deserving of the world’s respect!
They were heroes! True heroes!
…………
After reading about the original owner’s tragic life, Liu Fang burst into tears.
So, everything she did was worth it, wasn’t it? It allowed all the people in such a good city to survive.
She hugged the cushion on the sofa and cried her heart out!
This mission was truly amazing!
As her emotions gradually settled, the Intelligent Butler said, “Alright, get a good night’s sleep today, and start your next task fresh tomorrow. By the way, don’t forget to take the Wangyou Pill.”
Liu Fang nodded with red and swollen eyes, “Mn, I got it.”
After saying that, she took another shower, then took the Wangyou pill before finally going to bed.
Tomorrow would be a brand-new day!
