Chapter 219 Methods to Extend Time

According to the information provided by Lin Zhao, Lu He learned that her stepmother had been hiring a private investigator to investigate Lin Yingxin.

However, Xia Lan didn't know much about Lin Yingxin's identity and had no way of knowing what the detective had or how to prepare a countermeasure in advance.

Now that things had come to this, Lu He had no choice but to go back to Han Xi's house to find out what was going on.

"Go ahead without worry. I'll stay here and take good care of my sister these next two days!" Lin Zhao saluted with conviction, like a model soldier.

Lu He looked disgusted, secretly thinking to herself, "You're taking care of Xia Lan? You probably just want to monopolize Xia Lan, you little siscon."

Seeing Lu He's smile hiding a knife, Lin Zhao quickly pretended to be scared and hid behind Xia Lan, saying coquettishly, "Sister, sister-in-law is so fierce... I'm so scared..."

"Stop talking nonsense..." Lu He glanced at her sideways.

"Pfft, alright, alright, stop bickering." Xia Lan laughed and nudged Lu He's shoulder. "Baby, hurry back and be careful~ I'll worry about you~"

Then she turned to Lin Zhao and patted her head, comforting the little girl: "Lin Zhao, be a good girl and go home. I need to lure the snake out of its hole, and I'll need your help outside then~"

She politely declined Lin Zhao's offer to stay the night.

Lu He gave Xia Lan a thumbs-up in satisfaction, and then secretly changed her hand gesture to make a heart shape for her.

Lin Zhao was not blind and could see through their little scheme. She puffed out her cheeks in anger, but had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​staying overnight.

After all, the most important thing is that my sister and sister-in-law are happy, and that my sister is happy.

Seeing how easy she was to talk to, Xia Lan understood why Lin Zhao had crossed mountains and seas to find out the cause of her sister's death and to give her sister justice after Lin Yingxin died in the original story. Her sister must have been the light in her heart.

Thinking of Lin Zhao, a child who had no love or care since childhood and whose personality was somewhat stubborn and eccentric, being sent abroad by her father who had high hopes for her, I really felt sorry for her when she was young.

Lu He got into the car, reluctantly watching the person in the rearview mirror grow smaller and smaller, further and further away. It really felt like she was already missing him as soon as they parted.

She closed her eyes and began to communicate with the system in her mind.

"Oh, so you finally remembered me?" the system said sarcastically.

"What, you're not jealous, are you?" Lu He whistled, looking like she was making a big fuss.

The system knew she was doing it on purpose; she was just being sarcastic.

"Hurry up and complete the side quests... it can help you extend your time here a little..." the system whispered.

"Extend the time?"

Lu He perked up immediately. He had been lazily lying on the back seat, but now he sat up straight all at once.

"Tell me more details quickly."

"I told you before that the time travelers are an experimental project of the Supreme Intelligence, right? This world is a huge project with many side stories that test humanity," the system patiently explained.

"Human nature? Analyzing human nature?" Lu He pondered this, wondering if it meant some other species was planning to invade Earth. He'd seen quite a few movies like this.

"You've got to do it, stop thinking about all that nonsense," the system could sense her thoughts: "Where I am is the main universe. What's there to invade about your Earth? It's all under our jurisdiction."

"Okay, okay, I won't interrupt anymore, you can continue." Lu He waved her hand; what she was more interested in now was extending the time.

"The more data we collect in this world, the better. So the more side quests you complete, the better. To give you enough time to complete side quests, the countdown to your departure will be reset to zero every time you complete a side quest."

"Really? How much time do I have left?" Lu He asked.

"It will take about half a month. You need to find out the cause of Han Xi's mother's death as soon as possible so that the time can be reset to three months."

"It's only three months each time... Why didn't you say that before..."

The system was taken aback by the question. It couldn't very well say that it was because there was originally no time limit, but these two ancestors found a bug and simply spent all their time together, ignoring both the main quest and the side quests.

This angered the Supreme Intelligence, who gave the system a severe dressing-down and demanded immediate rectification, as the system was failing to submit data reports and was struggling to meet performance targets.

The system then had to update the rules specifically for Lu He to urge her to complete the storyline tasks.

As for Xia Lan, the Supreme Intelligence also provided a research project, since she was the first protagonist to voluntarily seek death and travel around, making her extremely valuable for research.

This postgraduate entrance exam project can only be implemented during the process of advancing the Mrs. Han side story.

However, the system never mentioned this matter to Lu He.
