Chapter 131 The system has been upgraded again!
In fact, Chen Ning also did not understand why His Majesty appointed Qin Wanying to assist the Dali Temple in handling cases.
Chen Ning had been handling cases at the Dali Temple for many years and only believed in evidence. He felt that using fortune-telling to handle cases violated his previous principles, which he could not accept.
Moreover, he had met some swindlers when he was young, and had also handled some cases of people being cheated out of money and even killed under the guise of fortune telling. He had no good impression of fortune tellers.
He had only heard that the fortune-telling girls at Tianji Garden were incredibly skilled, but he didn't believe it and felt there must be something fishy about it.
Later, when he learned that the girl was Qin Wanying and that she was to assist him in solving the case, he was actually resistant.
Chen Ning was originally appointed as the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review by the late emperor, making him a veteran of two reigns, and he carried a hint of arrogance in his heart.
However, when the Emperor summoned him, he spoke of Qin Wanying in an incredibly profound way, and even told him that he must listen to Qin Wanying's opinions more often and entrust any difficult cases to her. This made Chen Ning very unhappy.
He felt that His Majesty was being misled by these unorthodox methods.
Now that Qin Wanying had come to see him, he didn't want to give her a pleasant look and made her wait outside for half an hour.
Qin Wanying waited outside, while Chunying beside her was furious.
"This Lord Chen has gone too far! It was clearly His Majesty who personally issued the decree, ordering the Second Miss to assist the Court of Judicial Review in handling the case, yet he's ignoring her! Does he even respect His Majesty?"
Qin Wanying did not show much emotional change.
She knew what the people at the Dali Temple were like.
They all strongly believed in science and looked down on fortune tellers like her.
Especially Chen Ning, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
In fact, Lord Chen is not a bad person. He is upright, loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He handled all the cases of his eldest sister's divorce, his fourth brother's imprisonment, and the murder case in the Imperial Observatory with impartiality.
If it weren't for Lord Chen's uprightness and integrity, her fourth brother might not be here anymore.
Actually, Qin Wanying was quite grateful to Chen Ning. It was just that Chen Ning's personality and stubbornness could sometimes be annoying.
But thinking about it again, Chen Ning was so aggressive, he even dared to say a few words to the Emperor! So it's not surprising that I'm being treated this way.
Sigh, Lord Chen, you're ignoring me today, but once you witness my investigative abilities, you'll be astonished!
They'll have to apologize to me then!
Just then, a system notification sounded in my mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, system upgrade!]
"Wow, 0934, you've leveled up again!" Qin Wanying said to the system in her mind, feeling very excited.
[Yes, yes, host! I've leveled up again!] The system was female, and her voice was clearly very excited.
Qin Wanying was speechless.
As a system, isn't upgrading a basic operation? It's as if we've never upgraded before.
[Host, I've finally discovered the secret to leveling up! I know under what circumstances I can level up!]
"What's going on?" Qin Wanying asked hurriedly.
She had asked the system before what circumstances an upgrade was possible, but the system said it didn't know either.
Qin Wanying was speechless. How could a system not know such basic information?
Actually, Qin Wanying was quite speechless. Did it really take her so long to figure out her own user manual?
It's practically an apprenticeship system!
You need to use the system's capabilities to collect "Helping Points." When your "Helping Points" reach the upgrade threshold, you can upgrade.
Qin Wanying pondered for a moment, and from the name, she knew what "Helping Value" meant.
"So, if you use the system's capabilities to help people solve problems, you get help points?"
[That's right! Host, you're too smart! Note that you only accumulate helping points by helping others through the system's abilities!]
It seems that the five fortune readings this morning brought the system to its critical point of helping others.
My monitor is fixed now. From now on, there will be notifications and voice announcements when you increase your help points!
Uh, the system also has a monitor? That thing can break, right?
[Alright, host, I'm going to binge-watch some shows now!]
Qin Wanying sighed.
"System, have you forgotten something?" Qin Wanying said helplessly, "Didn't you upgrade? What are the new features after the upgrade?"
【Uh, sorry, I forgot...】 Although the system has no physical form, Qin Wanying felt the system awkwardly scratch its head.
[This upgrade allows you to choose one of three skills!]
Qin Wanying's eyes lit up.
We can choose one of the three? That's amazing!
[A, Mental Strength increased by 100. Current Mental Strength: 120.]
[B, allows you to see what will happen in front of you within the next ten seconds, each time consuming 1 unit of mental energy]
[C, One-time immunity from death, for personal use only.]
The possibility of adding 100 to mental strength can be basically ruled out.
She currently has 120 mental energy, which is basically inexhaustible.
She hesitated for a moment between B and C.
Option C, the ability to avoid death, is indeed a great skill, essentially giving you an extra life.
However, if you choose B, you can see what will happen in front of you in the next ten seconds. Doesn't that mean you get several more chances to avoid death?
After all, danger sometimes strikes at the last second, and if you can see what will happen in the next ten seconds, you can avoid a lot of danger.
Her current mental strength is 120. She can see what happens within ten seconds each time. Qin Wanying tried it before, and her mental strength was completely exhausted. It would take two hours to fully recover.
In other words, I can see a 20-minute scene of the future every two hours. This ability is extremely useful.
The system will be upgraded in the future, and my mental strength will also improve. When my mental strength reaches a certain level, I will be able to keep this skill active at all times, which will greatly increase my chances of survival.
This gold-level entry shouldn't be so easy to obtain, so Qin Wanying decisively chose option B.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, skill binding successful!] The system notification sounded again.
Qin Wanying tried using the system's ability, and sure enough, a scene appeared in her mind, which should be what was going to happen within ten seconds!
Qin Wanying was thrilled. This ability looks amazing!
In her mind, she saw the door open and Lord Chen standing in the doorway.
Ten seconds later, the door in front of me opened, and the speed at which it opened was exactly the same as I had imagined!
Lord Chen pushed open the door and stood in the doorway.
At first, Lord Chen was indeed displeased and wanted to give Qin Wanying the cold shoulder.
But he got so engrossed in reading the case file that he forgot Qin Wanying was still outside. Only after he finished reading did he realize that half an hour had passed.
I also felt guilty.
Why is he getting angry with a little girl?
This little girl is only fifteen years old, right? She's been left outside for so long, she must have cried secretly, right?
He pushed open the door and looked inside.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Qin Wanying standing there, looking at him excitedly.
Chen Ning: ......? ? ? That expression isn't right!
