The Villain's Redemption

Mo Li narrowed his eyes on the house that was still on fire. "Are you sure this was done by her?"

"Yes, President. The men that she hired said that she walked towards the city after giving them the money."

Mo Li nodded and got out of the car. He looked at the only street leading to the center of the city. After a few minutes, Mo Li got back into his car and instructed his driver to find Li Yue on the streets. He was sure that she wasn't that far from where they were.

As long as she was located under the same sky, Mo Li was confident that he would find her again.

[End of Arc 1]

…

When Li Yue woke up again, she was in a boundless space.

[Scanning Initiated.] She heard the robot utter. Li Yue just sat silently for a few minutes, staring blankly into the white space in front of her. At least her mission was done. This time she was able to complete her mission without dying or killing anyone. Rubbing her eyes, Li Yue lied down and thought of the things that she had learned from the previous world.

[Proceed to the next world?]

"Wait." She uttered while looking at the screen in front of her. She had forgotten that she didn't really have a name in this dimension. In the previous worlds, the system had refused to give her a name and clearly said she did not deserve to have one as she had never completed a quest yet. However…. Now that was no longer the case. "Can I… can I have a name?" she asked. She remembered that this robot told her before she could request something after she finished a mission.

[Request Granted.]

[Name: Lily]

"Like the flower?"

[Like the flower] The robotic voice sounded.

"I have a question. Why didn't you tell me that Mo Li was still the Villain in that world?"

[Bee does not have permission to intervene.]

"I see." Lily nodded. "Can I see the other options that you can do?"

[Showing Options in Three… Two… One…]

[Option to see what happened to the previous world: Five coins.]

[Option to choose a world: One thousand coins.]

[Option to strengthen the body: Five Hundred Coins.]

…

The system showed her a total of twenty options that she was allowed to use. However, Lily could only frown. Why was it so expensive? Stroking her temple, Lily let out a sigh.

"Can I see the plot in the next world?"

[Plot: 300 words for 300 coins. Can only be accessed when the host is already inside the world.]

"Hey… can you tell me something about my past? Was I human?"

[Bee can only answer one request about the past after the host completed a mission.]

Lily nodded. So her name was considered a part of the past. Fair enough. She thought about the previous world. Slowly, a frown slithered onto her face.

"Robot… why can't I remember anyone's face?"

[Memories of the previous worlds will fade over time.]

A sigh escaped her lips. "Is that so. Well, that is understandable."

"Can you tell me about skills? Can I bring my painting skills into the next world?" These are questions that she has never asked before because she kept on failing her missions.

[Skills can be brought to the next world. The levels of proficiency are as follows. Novice, Advanced Beginner, Competent, Proficient, and Expert]

"Well… I believe that's good. Can you tell me my next character's name?" Lily thought that her painting skills were quite good however, the system clearly showed that it was only at the level of an advanced beginner. But considering that skills needed time to develop, Lily completely understood everything. She only stayed in that world for about five years. She had no time to practice the skills. It would be weird for her to become an expert in five years.

[Only accessible inside the world.]

Lily sighed. It seems that a lot of things could only be accessed when she arrived in the next world. Even the plot could only be accessed inside the world. This meant there was no way she could prepare in advance.

"How about the level of the world?"

[Level: D]

"So it will be difficult. Great." Lily nodded. "Sounds exciting." Sarcasm laced her voice. "So why is my luck still negative?"

[Host needs to complete one more mission to have zero luck.]

"…" That wasn't the answer to her question. But at this point having zero luck should be better than having negative luck, right? "I understand. Well then." Staying here would not give her anything anyway. "Eh?" Lily froze when she examined her six inch space. Inside… inside the space was the knife that she always carried when she was in the previous world. A cracker and some candies were there too. But what surprised her the most was the grenade that she saw in her space. Lily was flabbergasted. "Robot. Please explain the space."

[The space that you bought is considered your own dimension. Bee cannot access it.]

"Does this mean, I can bring everything in my space to every world? And bring its contents with me to the next world?"

[Yes.]

"How about living things?"

[No.]

"Oh." Lily nodded. "I understand." Excitement shone through her eyes. This meant that she could use the grenade in her next life! She actually had gained something really good from her past world. "Bee… did you gain new features as well?"

[Bee now has the ability to scan.]

Since the robot didn't explain further, Lily figured that it must not be allowed to do so. In the end, she nodded. "Alright then… let's go to the next world."

[Entering to the next world in three… two…. One….]

……..

When Lily woke up again, she was in an… ice cave? She looked at her surroundings and realized that she was indeed inside a room covered in ice. Slowly, Lily sat up, her head started to ache from the inflow of memories from the original body.

"Bee… can you scan the surrounding area for me?"

[Bee can only scan three meters away from the host. The host needs to work hard to increase Bee's scanning abilities.]

Lily fought the urge to roll her eyes. Right. She seemed to have forgotten that this robot was a little unreliable sometimes. She held her head as she slowly digested all the information given to her by the body. Fang Yu.

So this was the body's name. She immediately examined her body as she remembered that this Fang Yu was the number one beauty of the Eight Palms Sect. Aside from that, she was also considered an elder and an expert in cultivation. "Unexpectedly, these breasts were very well developed. At least in this world, no one would say that she was not a woman." She frowned. She was sure that in the previous world, someone had told her that she was not a woman but she couldn't remember who.

She shrugged and shook the thoughts out of her head. More importantly, she needed to focus on the fact that this Fang Yu was supposed to die years ago due to a scheme of another elder. Before she could even think of helping out the male lead, she needed to survive this elder's scheme first!

…

Guys. Relax. Mo Li will be back. And he will be back with a bang. hehehe
