Chapter 144 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

Nan Yin had just received the medal passed to her by Ye Se Li when she heard an exclamation behind her. "Nan Yin, why are you here!" It was Wu Luo's voice. Nan Yin turned around with a smile and sure enough, saw the grey-haired little girl holding a plate of strawberry cake, looking at her with a surprised expression. Nan Yin smiled and crouched down, opening her arms to Wu Luo. "Wu Luo, do you miss your big sister?" Seeing Nan Yin, Wu Luo completely forgot about the strawberry cake she had been thinking about earlier. She placed the plate on the ground and rushed into Nan Yin's embrace. The scene of the two of them, one big and one small, hugging each other attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant. Nan Yin and Ye Se Li paid no attention to how the people around them were looking. When Nan Yin leaned down, she noticed something odd. She realized that little Wu Luo was actually crying on her chest, and her tears wet Nan Yin's collar. The warm sensation surprised Nan Yin, followed by a feeling of heartache. "What's wrong, Wu Luo? Why are you crying? Are you not happy to see your sister?" Nan Yin asked with concern. She couldn't help but feel a bit of compassion when seeing the little girl crying. In that moment, Nan Yin understood the attraction of lolis. "I am happy! Wu Luo is very happy to see Nan Yin!" Wu Luo quickly shook her head at Nan Yin's question, then added in a hurry, "Wu Luo... Wu Luo just missed big sister too much." "Recently, Wu Luo was always wanting to come and find her sister, but Mr. Wang wouldn't let me come out," Wu Luo said. Nan Yin looked up at Ye Se Li upon hearing this. Ye Se Li remained composed, calmly explaining, "My attention was focused on Wu Luo during that time. It wasn't convenient for me to bring her out, and besides, if she displayed too much intimacy with anyone, it would surely attract attention and investigation." Nan Yin nodded upon hearing this. She didn't blame Ye Se Li. However, just thinking about what Wu Luo would encounter in half a month, she couldn't help but hold the little girl in her arms tightly. It's really pitiful... After spending a day with little Wu Luo, the next day marked the official start of the industrial expo. However, Ye Se Li had other matters and had to leave with Wu Luo. Despite feeling reluctant, Nan Yin bid farewell to little Wu Luo and accompanied Fubu Zheng Si and others to the expo venue. "Hua." A vast cityscape flashed before Nan Yin's eyes outside the window, with the screens displaying the flags of Shenqi, Great Britain, and the North African Political Federation. The streets were filled with a constant flow of vehicles and pedestrians, with the sky teeming with drones flashing various signal lights. Amidst the ever-growing steel jungle, there were elevated skywalks. These were the societal achievements of rapid technological development. "Nan Yin, have we arrived?" A girl's voice interrupted Nan Yin's thoughts. She turned back to see Zhuo Ya, dressed in a business skirt with a ponytail, looking at her timidly. Upon noticing Nan Yin turn back, Zhuo Ya continued, "Fubu-ge asked me to tell you that we will reach our destination in ten minutes." "Okay, got it," Nan Yin nodded slightly. She then noticed that Zhuo Ya didn't leave and couldn't help but stare at her with curiosity. "Is there anything else?" For some unknown reason, Zhuo Ya blushed a little when she looked at Nan Yin, then hesitantly said, "Um... I noticed you were looking at those three flags earlier. Are you also interested in history?" It must be said the topic was brought up rather abruptly. It seemed that Zhuo Ya realized this, which made her blush even more. However, Nan Yin didn't mind because she was genuinely interested in the history of this world. Due to the existence of various powered individuals and other forces, many outcomes of the wars Nan Yin knew from her past life had changed in this world. For example, the Shang Dynasty still existed and had become a constitutional monarchy. Through wars and a subsequent referendum, it had almost annexed the entire Asia. The war against Japan never happened because Shenqi, this world's Shang Dynasty, had incorporated Nippon into its territory five hundred years ago. The First World War ended with Shenqi's victory, and together with Germany and Italy, it divided the Russian Empire. The United States ceded New York to become the joint administration zone of the three countries... Like New York now, ever since it became the joint administration zone of Shenqi, the United Kingdom, and the North African Political Federation, its public order and economy had been rapidly stabilizing, becoming the second most prosperous international metropolis in the world in just ten years, second only to Tianzhou. As Nan Yin chatted with Zhuo Ya, she couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. The worldview of this world seemed like the backdrop of a litRPG... for Shenqi, that is, this world's Shang Dynasty. In any case, under Di Xin’s leadership, Shenqi had prospered and developed into the only superpower in the world, to the point of discarding the United States and becoming a hegemony. "It's a pity I'm not Shenqi. If I were, I would receive compulsory education, and I wouldn't have had to sneak into the rich district to read when I was young," Zhuo Ya expressed. Due to advanced technology, only a few countries like Shenqi had implemented comprehensive compulsory education. As a native Baisales person, Zhuo Ya couldn't enjoy this privilege, especially since Baisales was currently in a precarious situation. "But fortunately, since Uncle Bai Lang became the public security official, he has been supporting my education, which eventually led me into the field of hacking. I really love hacking," Zhuo Ya said excitably. "One day, I will definitely become a legendary hacker like La Qi. Ba Te Mo Si!" After hearing the girl's aspirations, Nan Yin smiled and didn't say anything. The title of a legendary hacker wouldn't be as realistic in this world as actual power. Moreover, as far as she knew, reaching the peak of hacking in this world meant becoming an AI, and it seemed unlikely for a fifteen-year-old girl like Zhuo Ya to have such an ambition. Although she didn't hold high hopes for the girl's dream, Nan Yin wouldn't deflate her enthusiasm. She encouraged her with kind words, and the two continued to have a pleasant conversation. Ten minutes later, the floating car they were in reached the venue of the industrial expo. As Nan Yin prepared to get off, she turned back to look at Zhuo Ya, who had stood up as well. "Since you've called me your sister, there's no need for formalities in the future. Perhaps one day, I'll come to you for advice on hacking," Nan Yin said to Zhuo Ya. She hadn't expected to say that to the girl. Zhuo Ya seemed a bit excited for a moment, her face turning slightly red as she nodded. As Nan Yin was about to enter the venue, on the building not far away, a figure in a white sweatshirt silently watched the now-stable floating car. The thought of the person she cared deeply about being inside made her very excited. "Ao Er Mo Si... You promised you would help me." "There's no need to rush now, little one. Do you want to accomplish what I want?" New readers group: 666403941. Welcome, readers, to play with us and encourage updates!
