Chapter 52 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

Chapter 052: Little Nan Yin By the time Nan Yin returned home, it was already half past one. Jiang Mi and Xia Yi Yi were already asleep. She didn't want to disturb the two girls, so after doing a little cleaning up, she made do with a night on the sofa. ... Perhaps the words Nan Yin had spoken that night were giving Nan Xi a chance? Surely, Su Xiao Yu would relay them to Nan Xi once he returned. Through those words, Nan Yin was conveying a message to Nan Xi - that she was serious this time, and if she took the initiative to admit her mistakes, there was still room for change. Although Nan Yin herself didn't want to accept this sister, the residual consciousness in her body had complex feelings towards Nan Xi, a mix of love and hatred... perhaps with even a bit more love. Consequently, there was nothing Nan Yin could do but try to accept this sister, provided of course, she behaved. However, it was as if Nan Xi hadn't received Nan Yin's hint at all. Over the following week, she didn't even return home, let alone admit to any wrongdoings. After waiting patiently for a few more days, Nan Yin even heard from Jiang Mi and Xia Yi Yi, who returned from school, that Nan Xi had moved back into the school dormitory. With that, Nan Yin sentenced this relationship to death in her heart; she didn't want this sister anymore. After putting Nan Xi out of her mind, Nan Yin started preparing to train the Baselius slaves. She didn't know whether the ice-caster who had died that night was a senior member or not. Since that night, several batches of people had tried to infiltrate the abandoned factory, but they were all dealt with by Fuhu Zhengsi, including a few odd level one and two power users - but after all, they weren’t at level three, which made them easy prey for Fuhu Zhengsi. After twenty or so people had been disposed of in the abandoned factory, it seemed as if the power behind them had realized that Nan Yin and Fuhu Zhengsi were not to be trifled with. No more sneaky individuals remained in the area, indicating that they were planning to wait and watch for a while. These days, while Fuhu Zhengsi dealt with the nuisances, Nan Yin wasn't idle either. She sent two batches of food and water, along with some simple clothing to Fuhu Zhengsi for the Baselius slaves. She provided nothing in terms of bedding... after all, it was the height of summer, and the temperature in Tianzhou City was not low. The slaves wouldn’t get sick from sleeping on the ground. Nan Yin also compiled a short handbook, intended specifically for training Baselius slaves. The knowledge in the booklet was what she had found useful in her past life's work. To be precise, it was training methods for close protection agents. Close protection agents, in modern civilized terms, were essentially suicide soldiers. And now, servants without the burden of personal ideology were just what Nan Yin needed. She handed this handbook to Fuhu Zhengsi. With his abilities and this handbook, it was more than enough to train the thirty Baselius slaves, without the need for Nan Yin to intervene. But staying in the abandoned factory was not a solution either. However, Nan Yin had already started to make arrangements, and she believed that she would soon have her first base. ... Today was the day Nan Yin would inspect Fuhu Zhengsi's training progress. She had handed him the handbook half a month ago, and in the meantime, she had been busy with her own plans, so there hadn't been time to visit Fuhu Zhengsi. She finally had some free time today. Evading Xia Yi Yi's clinginess, Nan Yin stood on the street and activated her golden finger. Speaking of which, Can Yin had been silent for more than twenty days. Nan Yin was worried that something untoward had happened to this assistant of hers, who was also the previous owner of this body. However, on the morning when she decided to visit Fuhu Zhengsi, Nan Yin noticed a "slight" change in her golden finger. When she opened her golden finger, the panel appeared as familiar as always with her attributes looking embarrassingly weak. But there was an additional button resembling a small house in the top right corner of the panel. The button had already appeared last night, along with a twelve-hour countdown, and the button was non-interactive in grey, as if it would only become active once the countdown ended. The twelve hours were almost up, and Nan Yin was just about to unveil the mystery of this button. Five minutes, three minutes, one minute... Thirty seconds, ten seconds, one second...! As expected, she hadn't guessed wrong. The moment the countdown ended, the button lit up immediately, and Nan Yin did not hesitate to press it. However, what happened next stunned Nan Yin. Initially, when she first saw the small house button, she had some slight guesses - perhaps this golden finger had granted her a small house hidden in another dimension. Literally, since the button bore the image of a small house. Or, had she been given a secret realm where she could continuously explore and unlock items? It was also a good fit for the metaphor of a small house, since isn't the cave-like residence a staple for novel characters? What Nan Yin hadn't anticipated was that, the moment she pressed the button, there was no alternate dimension or mysterious cave entrance appearing before her. Rather, a completely chibi-version of herself appeared in the palm of her hand! Why did she say it was a chibi version of herself? Because what was lying in her hand at this moment was a cute, petite, chibi-style silver-haired girl with familiar burgundy eyes, delicate features, and those brows and eyes that Nan Yin felt were unbelievably familiar... Wasn't this a miniature version of herself? This chibi-Nan Yin appeared entirely in the palm of her hand, tripping immediately upon arrival, and because of that, she had these puffy, tear-filled eyes which didn't fit the 3D art style at all. Even her head was producing bubbles that only appeared in mangas. At this moment, the bubble encased black mojibake, symbolizing gloom. Nan Yin watched her mini version, frozen in surprise for a moment. It took about three minutes for this naturally silly-looking little thing to slowly get up. And when the white-dressed, silver-haired little girl in chibi style looked up and saw the colossal version of herself- Her initially jumbled bubble immediately changed to three manga-style exclamation marks‼️ It was at this moment that Nan Yin finally reacted. Considering the entrance style and appearance of the little girl, she had a hunch which she was now keen to test. "Can Yin? Is that you?" asked Nan Yin tentatively. 【QAQ！！！】To her surprise, when the miniature Nan Yin in her palm heard her words, she immediately burst into tears. Nan Yin: ...Why do I feel like that's kind of cute?
