Chapter 140: Unbound by Any Rules
that the other party was not someone who would take the initiative to cause trouble. He said apologetically."I'm so sorry, ma'am. It was my fault for not managing things properly and letting her dist...According to the author's search, the dragon head sculpture, rumored to be in the hands of a collector in Taiwan, was allegedly sold back for 2400 Euros by a Chinese person in 2018. The book chose to use the dragon head instead of other zodiac animals because, in the author's opinion, the dragon holds a special significance and feels more irreplaceable, which could allow villains to inflate its selling price so high.
The next morning, Ruan Ruǎn woke up.
Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden task. Successfully bid on the dragon-shaped beast head at the auction. As a reward, you are granted two uses of the Dream Weaving skill.
Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden task, donating the dragon head freely, and rewarding a treasure map.
Congratulations to the host for activating the main quest, bringing the national treasure home. Upon completion, the reward is a holographic time travel machine. Failure incurs no penalty.
[Please check for new arrivals!
Early in the morning, Ruan Soft had just opened her eyes when she was bombarded by a wave of system announcements.
Listening to the voice of the system broadcast, I woke up a lot.
But listen carefully, besides the check-in thing, the rest are all about yesterday's auction.
"Check in, Yuanbao! Is the system procedure malfunctioning Why is yesterday's event only being reported now!"
Ruan softened and said jokingly.
"Humph! I am the smartest and most capable system ever! There's no way I would make a mistake!"
"I just set it up. Unless it's something especially urgent, I'll only report a summary when you, the host, first open your eyes in the morning."
"How could you question the greatest, most, most, MOST magnificent System Lord when I'm being so considerate!"
Yuan Bao knew that Ruan Ruan was teasing him, so he said in a rather proud and aloof manner.
"Alright, alright, I know you're smart and thoughtful!"
I didn't expect Yuanyuan to see through this scheme this time. She really has grown up and is not so easily fooled anymore.
"By the way, what's with that "bring the national treasure home" task in the latest update I hope it's not what I'm thinking..."
Since he couldn't fool Yuánbǎo with lies, Ruǎnshēng started to get down to business.
The treasure also put away its mischievous grin.
After a series of operations, Yuanbao produced a gigantic screen in front of Ruan Soft.
The flowers being displayed above are treasures of the Shizuka clan, currently on exhibit at a museum abroad.
There are no security measures as comprehensive as those found in a museum like the Flower House.
Some things, even things that are completely exposed, visitors can even touch directly.
Some people even secretly took sharp objects to destroy these flower growers' treasures.
At this point, the frown lines on Ruan Soft's face could kill an insect.
It was also at this time that Ruan softened and understood more clearly.
Why were those elderly people yesterday so eager to have these things returned to their home country
"Alright, are you sure I can do this How am I supposed to bring them home Buy them"
"It probably wouldn't be sold in a museum, either."
Ruan softened, looking defeated as he told Yuánbǎo, "I can't do it."
Yuán Bǎo was choked by Ruan Rùn's words, and after a long silence, he couldn't say anything back.
Seeing this, Ruan softened and started to sigh.
On one hand, she lamented how pitiful these national treasures were, while on the other, she couldn't help but feel useless.
Although I have an unlimited amount of money, I'm still powerless.
After struggling for a moment, he said with some resignation.
"Oh, I've given you everything. Use it however you like, I won't restrict you, and neither will anyone else."
After finishing his words, Yuanbao hid in the system space and fell silent.
Seeing that her goal was achieved, she no longer put on an act.
As long as I know these systems are incentivized to do these things and I don't get affected by it, that's fine.
A while ago, I took some time to search online for literary works that had been systemically bound.
In these works, some protagonists are subject to the constraints of heaven or a main god. If they go too far, they are prone to accidents, such as being struck by lightning.
Ruan Ruǎn doesn't want to be struck by lightning, or have any accidents.
She is not so noble as to be willing to risk her life for what is called a great cause.
She is indeed patriotic and willing to do things, but only when her personal safety is guaranteed.
Although the system has been given many things that are currently beyond scientific explanation and can be used to complete tasks, this is ultimately a very big deal.
Now it's just about saying she'll go get the national treasure, what then What if they let her bomb the Presidential Palace
Such a thing that can directly alter the trajectory of world events is very likely to violate the invisible rules of heaven and earth.
Although Ruǎn doesn't know if her world has something called "heavenly mandate," just in case, she values her life very much.
Now that Yuan Bao has given the right answers, he is free from any restrictions. So there are many things he can do now.
Yesterday, she was already thinking about how to bring the national treasure back. It just so happened that she had a mission today.
Sometimes, I wonder.
Could it be that this system task was generated because my own desires were too intense
Ruan softened recalling the time she had assigned the task, the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Oh, oh, never mind. Ruan Rou suddenly jumped up from the bed and went to wash up.
After washing up, Ruan Rou walked out of the room and into the small living room in the suite.
On the table was a steaming breakfast, while Yuanli had already laid out Ruanruan's outfit for today and stood beside it.
Ruan ran finished breakfast, tidied up a bit, and then went out.
As soon as she stepped out of the hotel, the staff would greet her with good morning and kind words.
Ruan Ruan was quite surprised, wondering when the hotel started offering such services!
Until one of the question marks said he was his boss, it finally dawned on him that they had known about his job change so quickly.
After understanding, she no longer found it strange and nodded in agreement with a smile.
But he used his cell phone to contact the hotel's CEO.
(Let everyone stop calling me "boss," I'm not used to it.)
(By the way, it was too late yesterday, I was only busy signing the contract. Starting this month, all grassroots employees' salaries will be increased by one-third of their original salary each month.)
(Management's increase by half, senior management's increase directly doubled.)
In addition to the basic five insurances and one gold, a commercial insurance policy will also be purchased for each person.
Moreover, it is essential to ensure that each employee has two days off per week, and the daily working hours shall not exceed eight hours.
Then today I was very happy, and I gave each employee a thousand yuan red envelope. Let's just say it's a welcome gift from me as their boss.
The other person responded very quickly, probably too excited. They sent three exclamation marks right away.
After confirming with Ruan Soft three times, he sent the message to the group chat.
At that moment, this joyful news spread among the hotel staff.overed that there had been an earthquake in City H.With furrowed brows and misty eyes, she watched the news while mumbling, "Too pitiful, too pitiful."Then, to demonstrate his generosity towards the v...
