Xu Xingguang paused, then showed Doctor Zhang a sincere and grateful smile. "Thank you, Doctor Zhang."
Sister Linlin knew she could be discharged from the hospital, so she was helping her pack her luggage.
When Xu Xingguang returned, Sister Linlin pointed to the neatly sorted and categorized items on the floor and asked Xu Xingguang, "Xingguang, do you still need these things?"
Xu Xingguang glanced at those items and said, "Throw everything away except for those books." They were just some household items like basins and toothbrushes, unnecessary to take. But those books were given to her by Zhang Zhiyi, and she hadn't finished reading them yet.
"What about this?" Sister Linlin opened a brown box, took out a bracelet, and asked Xu Xingguang, "This is a gift from your friend, right? Don't you want it either?"
Xu Xingguang didn't remember any friend giving her a necklace.
She curiously looked at the bracelet, and as soon as she saw it, her gaze froze.
It was a pendant bracelet strung with a red cord, with pendants looking like glass or crystal, ten in total.
At the sight of that object, Xu Xingguang felt an inexplicable sense of awe.
Sister Linlin handed the bracelet to Xu Xingguang and went on to deal with the other things.
After she left, Xu Xingguang wanted to take a closer look at the bracelet but found that the bracelet she had just held in her palm had vanished!
Hmm?
The next second, Xu Xingguang noticed a strange bracelet tattoo had appeared on her left wrist!
She reached out to touch it, only to realize it wasn't a tattoo; it was like a 3D-printed birthmark, perfectly merged with her skin.
Unless she scraped off that piece of skin, there was no way to remove it.
What the heck is this thing?
Staring at the tattoo on her wrist for a moment, Xu Xingguang closed her eyes thoughtfully.
As she closed her eyes, the tattoo on her left wrist suddenly heated up, sending waves of red heat along her veins to her mind, where ten books appeared, each inscribed with a line of characters in black ink.
The calligraphy was dynamic and powerful, filled with a majestic momentum.
From left to right, they were—
"Secrets of Becoming a Top Star Chef," "Secrets of Becoming a Top Breeder," "Medicine Cultivation Experience," "Lifetime Achievements of Infrastructure Fanatic," "King of War," "High-altitude Flight Combat Guide," "Surgical Comprehensive Experience," "Mecha Design Insights," "Country Teacher's Experience," "Life of a Piano Master."
Seeing this scene, Xu Xingguang's heart thumped dramatically.
These were the ultimate achievements she had accomplished in each world during her ten cycles of reincarnation!
In the first cycle, she went to a Food Continent, rising from a street vendor selling fried rice to becoming a top star chef.
In the second cycle, she traveled to the Ancient World of beast fighting, advancing from a zookeeper to a top breeder revered and recognized by all wild animals.
In the third cycle, she became a boy in a Cultivation World, transforming from a bullied little medicine boy to the most powerful pharmacist, establishing an Advanced Medicine Shop and becoming the supplier to all advanced pharmacists.
In the fourth cycle, she was born into a rural family that valued men over women. Her father was a carpenter, and she wanted to be one, deeply influenced by him. But her father said a girl's hands could only hold embroidery thread, not an ink line or stylus, forbidding her from becoming a carpenter.
Yet she was unwilling to accept her fate, persistently studying hard, leaving the small village, attending a top design institute, and eventually becoming the female architect with the highest achievements in architectural history...
By the tenth cycle, in a modern Cultivation World, lacking the qualifications to cultivate, she could only live as a civilian. Ultimately, through her efforts, she became the most famous pianist, beloved by civilians and cultivators alike...
Looking at those ten books, the experiences Xu Xingguang had forgotten vividly resurfaced in her mind.
Xu Xingguang was filled with emotion.
In every life, she lived steadily, step by step, day by day.
From birth to death, she dared not stop and dared not touch love.
She feared that if she became entangled in romantic feelings, she would grow indecisive. Once she developed special feelings for a particular world, she would stop her steps.
Once stopped, she'd resign to her fate, never remembering the way home again.
She traversed countless mountains and rivers to return to the real world, but here, her beloved family had either passed away or changed...
Yet Xu Xingguang was never one to bow to fate; she was like a weed, weak but tenacious. Even if trampled into the mud by a cow's hoof, as soon as the wind blew, she'd strive to straighten up and continue growing towards the sun.
Xu Xingguang reached out her right hand towards "Life of a Piano Master," and it automatically fell into her hand. Opening the book, Xu Xingguang saw a thick stack of piano pieces she had composed herself.
She then reached out towards "Medicine Cultivation Experience," and the book flew to Xu Xingguang.
Xu Xingguang opened the book, inside were neatly arranged herbal pictures.
And if she casually pointed at a picture, it would transform into a herb appearing in front of her.
Each herb on those pages was one she had successfully grown and cultivated herself in her third reincarnation.
Seeing this, Xu Xingguang fully understood the meaning of the bracelet's existence.
This was the evidence of her existence in those worlds.
It was her treasure chest, compensation from the heavens for forcing her soul through ten incarnations.
This was the compensation she deserved.
Xu Xingguang gladly accepted this compensation.
Despite acquiring such a treasure, Xu Xingguang was not overjoyed; having experienced so much, she had long outgrown the age of hysterical excitement.
