One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 241: Chapter 7 Pursuit

This book has a special feature.

Ye Xiao is currently dealing with only the supporting male lead and the antagonist female lead, whose plotlines are not bound by much, granting Ye Xiao a great deal of autonomy.

That’s why she can boldly push the plot forward. The system not only does not oppose this, but even offers some support. Following this, when Ye Xiao ordered a search for the female lead, the system showed no signs of opposition.

Usually, actions that are detrimental to the male and female leads are greatly restricted. Conversely, beneficial actions are greatly encouraged.

As Ye Xiao searches for the female lead to save the male lead, the system naturally takes pleasure in this and presents no obstacles.

Having executed missions in several minor worlds, Ye Xiao is somewhat curious about this as well.

She once asked the system why there were such differences.

At the time, this is how the system responded.

These numbered systems belong to the regular forces, which aim to maintain the stability of the Three Thousand Minor Worlds.

The ones who are favored by the destiny of a minor world are the male and female leads.

If the male and female leads are chosen by the minor world itself, they tend not to be too outrageous, and, at the very least, they would be normal people.

A minor world would not choose an odd character to destroy itself.

But now.

A vast, behind-the-scenes organization has emerged; by using certain methods and altering the plot, they forcibly turn the male and female leads of minor worlds into the individuals they have selected.

The first world Ye Xiao experienced was such a case.

The original protagonists of that world were the children of the Ye Family.

But then.

The behind-the-scenes power forcefully turned them into supporting roles, making the Ye Family an obstacle for the new male and female leads.

Their goal was simple: to have the male and female leads they created trample on the original leads of the minor worlds and to usurp their destiny and that of the minor worlds.

If they couldn’t plunder everything in one cycle, they would initiate a second, a third, and so on.

In the world of the Ye Family, the timeline of the minor world had been reset countless times.

The situation had already become dire; if Ye Xiao had not changed the predetermined fate, the Ye Family’s destiny would have genuinely been plundered. The minor world would also have suffered greatly as a consequence.

Fortunately, Ye Xiao successfully completed the mission, and now that minor world has reentered the correct path, with its destiny gradually recovering.

That world had its male and female leads directly tampered with.

However, this behind-the-scenes organization is not omnipotent.

They are not able to achieve this in every world.

In minor worlds where they are unable to directly tamper with the male and female leads, they will introduce strange elements to destroy the world’s destiny.

The reason Ye Xiao’s system rank swiftly rose from over a thousand to the 108th position after a few minor worlds is due to her having completed a high-difficulty task in her last world.

The last world was one of apocalypse.

The male and female leads of this world could have cooperated to save it.

But then.

The villainous force introduced substances that increased the difficulty of this apocalypse.

As a result, through repeated cycles, the male and female leads failed time and time again, with the behind-the-scenes actors deliberately letting them carry the memory of these failures through the cycles.

And thus.

The male and female leads endeavored over and over, failing each time, until they were on the verge of mental collapse.

After Ye Xiao appeared, she changed their fate and saved the world from the apocalypse, along with the male and female leads.

This steadied both the morale of the male and female leads as well as the destiny of the minor world.

Due to the high difficulty of the task, Ye Xiao’s system ranking shot up by seven to eight hundred places, thus achieving the remarkable feat of nearly reaching the top 100 rank across several minor worlds.

After completing the highly difficult apocalyptic world mission, the system intended to give her a more leisurely realm to relax.

So, Ye Xiao arrived in this realm.

This realm appears, indeed, to have a low overall difficulty.

The male and female leads are uncorrupted. The system is programmed to forcibly protect them. Sometimes, even if it’s clear that the male and female leads have been compromised, because the false male and female leads also possess a part of the world’s destiny, the system reluctantly continues its protection. It’s written into the program.

Such normal male and female leads are truly a relief.

The only problem, probably, was the golden finger the system asked her to retrieve from the other protagonist.

This golden finger…

was indeed a bit too exaggerated.

It should be taken back.

“108, all of my people have already gone to look for the protagonist. She is in Beijing; they should be able to find her soon,” Ye Xiao asked, “Can you tell me now how to retrieve the golden finger?”

108 quickly replied, “This golden finger is already completely bound to the protagonist. The only way to retrieve it is to have the protagonist willingly give it up.”

Ye Xiao furrowed her brows.

Willingly?

That really was a bit difficult.

The only good news was that, according to the original story, both the male and female protagonists were quite upright in their values.

The male protagonist was loyal to his country. The female protagonist was devoted to healing the sick.

She could only bet, bet that Chang Xueqin would be able to resist such an overwhelming temptation and willingly give up the golden finger.

For this,

Ye Xiao had also made some preparations in advance.

Beijing.

Chang Xueqin walked in resolutely with a small cloth bag on her back. At this moment, she was dressed in dashing male attire, her chest tightly bound, even deliberately creating an Adam’s apple with makeup on her throat. Unless one looked very closely, no flaws could be detected.

At this moment, she was truly a graceful young man.

She had come to this world ten years ago.

When she arrived in this world, she was only a 16-year-old girl. Back in modern society, this was the age for high school. Yet here, they wanted to force her into marriage!

And she was to marry an idiot!

Before she arrived, the original Chang Xueqin had already despaired and committed suicide.

After her arrival, of course, she was unwilling to marry. So she used some methods and fled the family overnight.

Ever since then, she had been wandering around.

Being a man made things much easier outside, so for ten years, she had been presenting herself as a man to the world.

Back in modern times, she was a doctor.

Arriving here, she also took up her old profession.

She immersed herself in study, combining medical skills from both worlds, traveling places to heal others, and had already accumulated quite a reputation. Locally, she had even earned the title of Divine Doctor.

But Chang Xueqin was not satisfied.

Just being famous locally was not enough to spread her medical skills far and wide.

Therefore, she came to the capital, to this place that gathered the nation’s highest power!

Only here could she spread her medical art, saving even more people.

The moment she stepped into the capital, Chang Xueqin’s heart was brimming with passion.

Here, she would begin a new life!

This year, she was already 26 years old. At this age, most women in this world had children who were already in their teens.

But Chang Xueqin never contemplated resuming her identity as a woman to get married.

In this world, how many men could tolerate their wives being in the public eye, treating patients all the time?

Chang Xueqin had her own aspirations; she did not want to confine her entire life to a man.

In fact, she had already decided that she would never marry in this lifetime, focusing solely on her career. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Chang Xueqin entered the capital full of lofty ambitions, opening a small clinic. But in this place, her reputation was insignificant, and no one was willing to seek her out.

Chang Xueqin was fretting over how to make a name for herself when suddenly,

she saw a dignified and opulent-looking woman, accompanied by a host of guards, walking towards her small clinic.
