Ideal Mary Sue

After the woman finished speaking, she left, satisfied with her words.

Su Ning couldn’t help but initiate a conversation with 444.

【Su Ning: You mentioned that we would enter the system space to choose a task. What kind of system space is this?】

【444: Um, well, mainly because my level is low… but don’t worry, I’ll take good care of your body!】

【Su Ning: My body?】

【444: Yes, I used 300 points to store your body in a high-level freezer.】

This seeking-praise tone made Su Ning unable to interrogate it.

【Su Ning: You said I could travel in my body, but my body is in your 300-point high-level freezer, so only my soul can travel. And I’m stuck with this average appearance.】

444 felt that the host’s tone was a bit strange, but socially inept 444 ignored the feeling and replied in a better mood.

【444: Yes, host, no need to thank me. This time, the main system has assigned us a task worth a full 30 points. Haha, so happy!】

【Su Ning: Wait, so you spent 300 points to buy a high-level freezer, and completing one task only earns 30 points?】

【444: Yes.】

Su Ning felt a bit trapped and suddenly seemed to realize something. She hurriedly asked, 【Su Ning: You said the main system assigned you a task. Didn’t you say you could choose your own tasks?】

【444: Well… it’s all because of my low level. I’m still at the lowest level compared to Senior 555, who is already the highest level. Senior 555 would definitely have the ability to choose tasks freely.】

【Su Ning: Wait, didn’t you say the difference between you and 555 was as slim as a fingernail?】

444’s self-blaming expression made Su Ning swallow the words she was about to say. Forget it, a task worth only 30 points must be very simple. Finish it quickly, raise 444’s level, find a world similar to mine, and then let it go.

【Su Ning: Tell me, what’s the task?】

As soon as the task was mentioned, 444’s previous depression vanished, and it became active.

【444: The task is to retrieve a glass mirror. This is the first time I have the chance to encounter a main character!】

【Su Ning: Why a glass mirror? And how do I retrieve it?】

【444: The glass mirror doesn’t belong to this era. It was brought here by taskers like you. In order to complete the task, many taskers use their points to redeem items in the system store. After completing the task, they can’t take the items with them. Items that don’t belong to the era but have a reasonable existence can have a certain impact on the world. So, the main system assigns a retrieval task, and we will receive 20% of the item’s price upon completion.】

【Su Ning: Ah, so you only get 30 points for completing a task. But the items are so expensive, and the reward is so little. That doesn’t seem fair!】

【444: Systems of different levels receive different tasks. I’m at the lowest level and can only accept item retrieval tasks. Higher-level systems like 666 and 888 receive strategic tasks. By influencing the main characters, they can earn points ranging from one thousand to ten thousand…】

Su Ning almost spit out a mouthful of blood. There were so many chances to bind with a higher-level system, but she didn’t seize them, and now it’s too late for regrets.

444 continued to excitedly talk.

【444: The glass mirror is currently in the possession of the main character. I finally have the opportunity to meet a main character. Oh, I’m so happy!】

【Su Ning: Who is the main character?】

【444: Hehehe, it’s the emperor. Main system daddy must still love me. Soon we will meet the main character!】

【Su Ning: And then?】

【444: And then, you can ask the emperor for the glass mirror. If he gives it to you, the task will be completed.】

That’s fine, it sounds fairly simple. Even though her appearance is currently “subpar,” Su Ning is still confident in charming the emperor.

The woman upset her earlier, telling her to give birth to a child. Why doesn’t the woman give birth herself!

Before Su Ning entered the palace, the woman would visit her room every three weeks to brainwash her. Su Ning nodded on the surface, but in her heart, she didn’t care about it. She was being asked to have a child! Hah! There won’t be a child.

444, whom Su Ning previously thought was useless, turned out to be somewhat useful. It gave her a photo of the emperor.

Su Ning, who expected the emperor to be a middle-aged uncle, felt a sense of relief when she saw his handsome and powerful appearance in the photo. After all, she still had to serve him.

“Surely, your mother has already told you about the palace etiquette,” Father Su said, glancing at Mother Su, who nodded in agreement. Father Su stroked his beard and continued, “What your mother has told you must be engraved in your heart. After all, the palace is different from home.”

Su Ning picked up a rice meatball with her chopsticks, nodded, and ate it. Ancient food was truly delicious.

Finally, when it was time to enter the emperor’s palace, a low-key yet extravagant four-person sedan chair carried Su Ning smoothly into the palace.

Su Ning, 27 years old and surrounded by people while naked, felt her shame reach a new low.

She was then thoroughly washed, dressed in a gauzy garment that covered very little, wrapped in a quilt, and carried into the emperor’s bedroom.

Usually, whenever Su Ning is served by someone, she wants to sleep, but this time, she was wide awake. Although she hadn’t experienced it personally, she knew that if a girl’s beauty wasn’t exceptional, she wouldn’t be called upon again. Generally, there was only one chance to serve the emperor in bed in a lifetime. Without the emperor’s favor, it would be impossible to reach out and ask him for anything.

Suddenly, Su Ning had an idea.

The emperor, as seen in the photo, was undeniably powerful and perfect. The emperor was as cold as an iceberg. Although he occasionally showed a gentle expression, it was merely a way to win people’s hearts. Such a person wouldn’t be interested in a pretty daughter from a humble family because it would bore him. After all, the three thousand harem beauties were practically the same in front of him.

Su Ning lifted the quilt, walked to the mirror, and took out a full set of cosmetics that 444 had bought for her. Su Ning’s delicate face in the mirror instantly revealed a subtle charm. She gently pulled up the corners of her eyes with an eyebrow pencil, enhancing the beauty of her eyes, and used a lip pencil to create a light touch of spring on her lips.

Su Ning put away the makeup and twirled around in front of the mirror. The aura surrounding her transformed from bland to playful and unrestrained in an instant.
