Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system
Chapter 31: The world's background

The three girls gasped silently, covering their mouths as they discovered who was in front of them. Although they felt familiar, Ling Qingyu's current outlook was too plain.

Most focused on her beauty and temperament; the three girls hardly connected the dots with infamous C.E.O. photos printed on the business magazine cover.

However, Ling Qingyu's admission of her name at least drove away the mistrust and hesitant precognition as she herself was the idol among ambitious young women.

Ling Qingyu smiled at their cute reactions and her heart was filled with duty for justice. These young girls should have a wonderful family life and marry good men. With their expertise and salary, their lives should have been comfortable.

Instead, merely because they attracted the attention of a demonic being, everything was foregone. True, after everything was over they could continue their normal life, but the scars remained.

The reason why Ling Qingyu opposed their initial primary plan was to minimize the scars. The society was harsh on both men and women. But when it came to sexual-related violent cases, even if the women were the victims, there were still some who thought women were at fault.

Everyone's eyes would no longer be the same for them. The prejudgment by the public could turn the worst for these poor girls.

Before everything settled, she decided to be their backing. The girls whispered to one another and Ling Qingyu couldn't hear what they were saying.

By the tone of their conversation, Ling Qingyu felt their excitement as she noticed their eyes appeared more bright.

While waiting for the doctor she trusted to come, Ling Qingyu looked outside through the window again. The reason why she called for Mo Yunxi instead of other female doctors was the issue of confidentiality.

Mo Yunxi was the first person she had contact with when she entered this world and her combined experience from her previous life and current memory told Ling Qingyu she was trustworthy.

Ling Qingyu was comfortable confiding about these three girls and sending them under Dr. Mo's care. She believed she could put all these events under wrap with Mo Yunxi's support.

She was 100 percent sure Dr. Mo would agree with her action.

Now, she recollected all the thoughts about what she had known from her memory fusion. As the system had already stated, she wasn't in the same world.

So, Ling Qingyu immediately thought since the environment was similar to Earth's background, the technology wasn't different and she was likely in a parallel world.

Many scientists in her previous world had applied numerous equations and experiments to prove parallel worlds existed. Now Ling Qingyu could attribute this to their words.

However, the world she stayed currently in was more than just a parallel world she thought because nothing from her previous life matched here.

Of course, not really everything. But on the surface, it didn't resemble the Earth in her previous life anyway.

The planet was still called Earth and the technological advancement seemed no different. However, the geographies and politics were completely disparate.

Water comprised 85% of the planet's composition; the land consisted of 9 continents: Northern Tree, Southern Bush, Alyssia, Bear's Paw, Phoenix, Elephant, Iceland, Middle Kingdom, and Oceania.

The naming was weird if one didn't comprehend the geographical distribution here but Ling Qingyu nodded at the names in her heart. Tree, Bush, Bear's paw, Elephant and Phoenix were given because the land resembled such structures. Alyssia was named after Empress Alyssia the Great who unified the land.

Iceland was like the name suggested a freezing continent in the south while the Middle Kingdom centered on every other continent, except Oceania further away which comprised chains of many islands—big and small—and were located in the southeast of Phoenix.

According to the memory, Northern Tree, Southern Bush, Alyssia, Bear's Paw, Phoenix, Elephant, Iceland, Middle Kingdom, and Oceania represent her old world: North America, South America, Europe, Russia, Central Asia, Africa, Antarctica, Middle-east, and Island countries respectively.

In many laymen's terminology here, they simply shortened the form like Continent N or Continent S, taking the initial letters.

Ling Qingyu had to exclaim these continents never really connected with one another. Even the closest one had water separating the land. She already imagined every country inside the continent was isolated from faraway distances until the advent of maritime travel and exploration.

Although the map looked weird from the previous life's viewpoint, she must admit the land's diagrams were more beautiful. However, what baffled her was the political situation on this planet.

The ancient history went similar but strangely in the 17th Century, people appeared to be enlightened causing sparks of revolution around the globe. The lower class overthrew the upper class, causing the nation to abolish monarchy or reenact a constitutional one.

Freedom, Equality, and Fraternity were slogans in this entire world. Republics and Constitutional monarchies popped one after another. Democracy prevailed.

Peace was for certain right? Nope, humans could never wash away their greed. War clashed between nations and in the 20th Century, two World War broke out just like in Ling Qingyu's previous life.

The reason was the discovery of crude oil, available in the Middle Kingdom. At first, no one cared until someone invented the technologies that might change the world and required these oil resources.

People traded initially but the political leverage began to hurt other continents, completely altering the nations' status. The Middle Kingdom's nations thrived and their influence grew.

Weak countries were fine with the status quo but the stronger ones didn't favor this change and decided to solve the issue—War.

Soon after subjugating the Middle Kingdom countries, nations couldn't replace an agreement, the big ones fought one another and it was a Second World War.

At last, the catastrophe stunned everyone to a new understanding due to terribly high numbers of casualties. War must be prevented and every government formed a new order called—the World Government. Ling Qingyu regarded it like a certain United Nation party.

Fortunately, perhaps democracy and similar ideologies were everywhere, and the mindset of fascism and race supremacism weren't bred; thus, horrible genocide was avoided although other atrocities occurred. Even then, the horrors of wars reminded every human from happening again.

Despite the World Government's good intentions, the issues weren't solvable. Sometimes, small border battles and wars still existed between nations but it was undeniable they prevented the bigger ones.

The greatest and most violent war occurrence was in the Middle Kingdom continent due to many parties involved in the conflict. No great power wanted this continent to have peace so that oil resources weren't monopolized. Separating against one another was the game of big powers here.

Ling Qingyu rubbed her forehead, recalling this information. Similar yet too contrasting. Phoenix continent included Country I, C, H and K, and Ling Qingyu resided in Country C, the largest area controlling nation.

She was at least happy to feel the country she belonged to was stronger than others.

A knock regained her consciousness. As she turned her head toward the sound, Dr. Mo entered with a smile. "I heard you need my help. What's that?"
