"You mean, as long as I complete the task, my younger sister will live, right?!"
In a vast, white space, a girl with Horsetails seemed to be talking to herself.
"Yes, the host only needs to collect as much emotional feedback as possible. Enough emotional feedback will not only cure the host's younger sister but can even allow the host to be resurrected and return to reality."
A mechanical voice, devoid of emotion, came through, and the girl's meager chest heaved violently, her heart in extreme turmoil.
"What if my younger sister can't hold on while I'm completing the task?"
"Please rest assured, host. During the period the host is performing tasks, the flow of time in the host's original world will be greatly reduced, and the system will ensure the vital signs of all personnel related to the task."
Hearing the system's assurance, the girl took a deep breath, her beautiful large eyes shifting as if she had made some kind of decision.
"Okay, I promise you!"
The girl answered firmly, her voice resolute.
The moment the girl agreed, an intelligent screen suddenly appeared in front of her, with white lines roughly outlining the shape of a right hand.
"Please sign and press your hand, host."
She still had to sign and press her hand?
The girl's fair, slender hand pressed against the screen, which disappeared after a slight vibration.
The girl suddenly felt as if she had been sold.
No, it wasn't just a feeling.
She seemed to have indeed sold herself…
But if she was sold, then so be it. She had already died once; to have such an opportunity was an immense stroke of luck!
The girl's name was Jiang Mumu, twenty years old this year. She wasn't tall, and aside from being pretty and cute, she was unremarkable.
She had a younger sister, Jiang Wanling, one year her junior.
Unlike Jiang Mumu, Jiang Wanling was very tall, with a completely mature figure and a strong personality.
Compared to Jiang Mumu, she was more like the older sister.
A few months ago, Jiang Wanling was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer.
A bolt from the blue!
Such shocking news added insult to injury for their already struggling family. Jiang's father and mother borrowed money and took out loans everywhere, their hair turning white in just a few days.
Jiang Mumu, even more so, took on multiple jobs, neglecting her studies, working day and night, constantly taking on part-time work, until she finally collapsed while delivering food.
Jiang Mumu woke up again in this vast, white space. A fellow calling itself a system told her to undertake tasks, and upon completion, her younger sister's illness would be cured, and she would be resurrected back into the real world.
How could Jiang Mumu refuse?!
After some communication with the system, Jiang Mumu also learned about her task.
Simply put, she had to go to a game world, become an NPC in that game world, and then frantically collect emotional feedback from both the characters within the game world and the players outside of it—the more, the better!
"Please select the game world, host."
Jiang Mumu jolted, solemnly looking at the games the system presented. She chose Genshin Impact with almost no hesitation.
She chose Genshin Impact because it was the only game Jiang Mumu had ever played, and her favorite one.
Before her younger sister was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer, Jiang Mumu was a true hardcore player.
A veteran player with 100% map exploration and a maximum level of 60, she had originally thought about reincarnating and starting over, but in the end, she didn't get the chance.
Jiang Mumu was very familiar with the Genshin Impact story, having already reached Natlan in the main storyline, up to the part where the Pyro Archon shattered the false sky with a single punch.
Thinking about her task and connecting it to reality, there was almost no game more suitable than Genshin Impact!
"Would the host like to open the Newbie Gift Pack ?"
There's a Newbie Gift Pack too?
Jiang Mumu silently thought, "Open."
"Seven clones are ready for deployment. Please select the country and identity for each clone, please shape the image for each clone, please select the gender for each clone, please set the personality for each clone, please…"
A long string of system messages came, and Jiang Mumu was stunned for a long time before she reacted.
Clones?
After carefully reviewing the system's introduction, Jiang Mumu quickly straightened her face and became serious.
Was this asking her, no, asking her clones to truly descend upon the Teyvat continent, to truly become residents of Teyvat?!
And even from birth!
Jiang Mumu's breathing began to quicken. Was the situation a bit too grand right from the start?
And that thing about controlling seven clones at once, could she really do it?!
Countless questions appeared in Jiang Mumu's small mind.
After a long while, Jiang Mumu reacted and began to carefully study the gift pack provided by the system.
That is, the seven clones.
When setting the actual gender, appearance, and personality for the clones, Jiang Mumu realized what "everything is difficult at the beginning" meant. She didn't expect the first step of the task to get stuck here…
Two days later.
Referring to some other game and anime characters, Jiang Mumu finally completed the design of the seven clones.
Looking at her masterpiece, she nodded, very satisfied.
If it weren't for the fact that she wouldn't get hungry, sleepy, or tired in this space, Jiang Mumu would never have been able to complete the design so quickly.
These were just very basic designs. Jiang Mumu only outlined the general situation, ensuring the appearance and personality of each clone. Even so, it took her so much time.
As for whether these clones would ultimately turn out exactly as Jiang Mumu designed them, it would depend on their future development on the Teyvat continent.
According to the system, if a clone didn't develop well on the Teyvat continent, they might not even obtain a Vision…
If that were the case, the role the clones could play would be very limited.
"Is the host ready to enter the game world?"
Jiang Mumu checked the seven clones again, and only after confirming everything was correct did she say, "Confirm entry!"

Teyvat continent.
Five golden and two purple beams of light descended from the sky, landing in various parts of the Teyvat continent.
The arrival of the light beams was silent, so much so that even the Seven Archons couldn't sense a thing.
---
Mondstadt.
Following Diluc, Master Crepus, the Mondstadt wine industry magnate, once again had a daughter. Crepus was exceptionally excited and named his precious daughter Ruola, full name, Ruola Ragnvindr.
---
Liyue.
An ordinary couple gave birth to a baby girl on the same day. The male head of the household named the baby girl Qing Ge, meaning fresh and natural, with seasons like a song.
---
Inazuma.
A long-standing shrine maiden family welcomed another baby girl.
Sumeru…
Fontaine…
Natlan…
Snezhnaya. That night, a baby girl was born into a large family, with several older brothers and sisters above her. The baby girl's father named her Anqi, his second child after his son Ajax!

The moment these clones went to the Teyvat continent, Jiang Mumu felt a tearing pain in her Sea of Consciousness.
"System, quickly think of a way, I'm dying, I'm going to die!"
Enduring the severe pain of her consciousness being torn apart, Jiang Mumu screamed in her mind.
Fortunately, the reliable system provided timely help, strengthening Jiang Mumu's mental power so that she wouldn't collapse so quickly.
The help the system provided just before Jiang Mumu was about to collapse instantly relieved 99% of Jiang Mumu's mental pressure.
With the help from the system, Jiang Mumu slowly began to get the hang of controlling these clones.
The seven clones had different personalities, but strictly speaking, they were all Jiang Mumu.
As the clones slowly grew up, Jiang Mumu began to feel overwhelmed. Each of the seven clones had their own life, and it was truly beyond her capacity to control them all by herself.
By the time the seven clones were one and a half years old, Jiang Mumu had already started to let go, no longer personally attending to every clone. Anyway, even if she didn't interfere, these clones would live according to the personalities she had designed for them.
Often switching to experience the lives of the clones, Jiang Mumu also grew to like this kind of life.
Sometimes she even thought that there was nothing bad about living like this; it was much better than her previous life, where she worked like a beast of burden.
Whenever such thoughts arose, Jiang Mumu would think of her parents and younger sister, thinking of them still enduring hardships in the real world. This would strengthen her resolve even more!
…
Seventeen years passed in a flash.
