Don’t Covet the Beautiful System!! - CH 4
it didn’t say it earlier or later, it just waited until this time to pop up.
In addition, how did the host’s current family look harmonious and happy?
Ji Tong became tired of stepping on the screen and carefully thought of a possibility. Could there be a bug with this task release program?
It was said that data without bugs wasn’t a good program.
Moreover, this was the main task that the host needed to complete. As a system, he couldn’t interfere with the content of the task. His role was to provide the host with help and suggestions within his ability, so that the task could be completed faster and better. Now he really couldn’t open his mouth to ask Pei Qingyuan to build a warm family with Luo Xiuyun.
He had just managed to comfort the depressed host!
There must be something wrong with the program.
The little robot nodded in confidence.
Pei Qingyuan didn’t know what had happened and was still waiting for him to announce the task. Ji Tong cleared his throat and declared solemnly, “Host, the task center might be infected with a virus so that an incorrect main task was released. I need to contact the main brain to confirm and verify it…”
Before he could finish talking, the dying task panel on the ground continued to make stubborn mechanical sounds and interrupted him, “The center isn’t infected with a virus. The safety physical examination score is 100%. The first main task you must complete is forming a harmonious and happy family. The task time limit is…”
Ji Tong: “……”
Why was the quality of this thing so good?
Pei Qingyuan: “……”
Had he just seen the spectacle of data infighting?
The scene fell into an eerie silence after the mechanical sound made the announcement
Ji Tong felt that his face hurt.
In order to defend his achievement of comforting the host, he hurriedly said, “The task has a time limit of one month so don’t rush to complete it. Host, you should study at ease. I will carefully analyze the host’s current interpersonal relationships and give you a few sets of completion plans for you to choose from.”
Ji Tong remembered the customer service saying that systems needed to meet regularly. Such a good communication opportunity couldn’t be missed. Once the time came, he would inquire about the practices of other systems and choose the coolest-sounded method for the host to follow.
It was like the saying: the first one plants the tree and the latter one takes advantage of the shade.
The more Ji Tong thought about it, the more he felt he was too smart. The data of his body also became brighter. He was simply a genius newcomer system.
Hearing this, Pei Qingyuan nodded and didn’t ask any further questions. He just noted down the task requirements and the time limit.
He was also surprised by the content of the main task. He had just learned a few minutes ago that his mother and uncle were using him as a tool for profit. He definitely didn’t want to do this task.
Nevertheless, his feeling of reluctance seemed to have dissipated a lot after the strange turmoil just now.
He should try to believe in this artificial intelligence that could help him change his destiny.
The room wasn’t large and the air was filled with the unique dryness of early autumn. Pei Qingyuan sat at the table and had nothing to do. Perhaps he should talk more with his mother, who he reunited with after a long absence, but Luo Zhichang was watching TV in the living room. Pei Qingyuan really didn’t want to leave the room.
There were many slightly old children’s books in the bookcase. Pei Yan was already in high school so he didn’t take them away. Luo Xiuyun was also reluctant to sell them. She just took out an empty cardboard box for Pei Qingyuan and asked him to clean it up himself.
But Pei Qingyuan didn’t pack these children’s books. Instead, he put the books he brought with him into the cardboard box and took them out when he wanted to use them
He thought he was probably using this awkward move to ask Luo Xiuyun for something indirectly, but Luo Xiuyun never mentioned the children’s books that remained motionless in the cabinet.
It was as if she never felt any difference.
Pei Qingyuan took out a thick math book from the cardboard box, leaned over the small desk and read it seriously.
Ji Tong, who was building a warm bedroom for himself in the consciousness space after being free, saw this situation and couldn’t help admiring the host.
Pei Qingyuan had just entered the third year of high school and was in the most critical year before the college entrance examination. As a result, he encountered such a big life change and was forced to transfer to the high school that Pei Yan once attended, which had an average rate of enrollment. It may have contained the intention of Pei Minghong and his wife to exchange their situations.
It wasn’t known if the host’s grades would be affected.
Ji Tong thought worriedly and subconsciously glanced at the book the host was reading. Then he was shocked to see the words ‘Advanced Mathematics’ in large characters.
…He was worried too hastily.
It was worthy of the man who wanted to be the protagonist.
Due to the shame, Ji Tong swallowed the idea of asking Pei Qingyuan if he wanted to have a late-night meal together.
Under the intimidation of the spirit of a top student, the little robot involuntarily relaxed the action of arranging the bonus, although Pei Qingyuan actually couldn’t feel it.
Entering one’s own consciousness space was an intermediate function that could only be unlocked once the host’s growth value reached a certain amount.
Therefore, Pei Qingyuan couldn’t know for the time being that his artificial intelligence system actually had a cute, large round bed full of bright yellow and furry dolls.
That night, Ji Tong happily spent his first night after reincarnating as an artificial system on the big, round bed.
It turned out that androids didn’t dream of electric sheep.
It was because he dreamed of hot pot skewers, spicy crayfish, beer, and cola.
Maybe this was his fate after not eating a late-night meal.
The next morning, Ji Tong stayed obediently in Pei Qingyuan’s mind while staring at the porridge, side dishes and fermented bean curd on the Luo family’s table in a daze.
He was so hungry.
It was a hunger that came from the soul.
Being an artificial intelligence was good for everything else, but it was too contrary to human nature of eating.
Luo Zhichang, who usually slept until late, actually got up early today. He looked very energetic and glanced at Pei Qingyuan from time to time with eyes full of pride.
Pei Qingyuan ignored him and accelerated the speed at which he ate breakfast. Then he took his bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash them before taking his bag and going out.
Luo Zhichang immediately stopped him. “Hey, why are you in such a hurry? Wait for me. Uncle is going out with you today.”
He saw that Pei Qingyuan had stopped and slowly picked up the coat that was thrown on the sofa. He also took out a toothpick to pick at his teeth. “Uncle is going to work at the 2nd High School from today. If you encounter any trouble at school in the future and can’t solve it, you can come to your uncle for help.”
Luo Xiuyun heard her brother say this and put down her chopsticks in a slightly uncomfortable manner. She had been completely moved by her father and felt that Luo Zhichang taking advantage of their relationship with the Pei family for a job was the best of both worlds. Yet at this moment, seeing Pei Qingyuan’s frozen expression, she couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty.
She opened her mouth and said, “Qingyuan, you have only been here for a short time and you aren’t familiar with the area where you live. It is good to have your uncle take care of you.”
Pei Qingyuan squeezed the straps of his bag. “Have you discussed this with me?”
Luo Zhichang immediately retorted, “This child, you are too impudent. Why should I discuss with you where I go to work? You should just take care of your own studies!”
“Really?” Pei Qingyuan suddenly looked at Luo Xiuyun. “Uncle, does it really have nothing to do with me that you can go to work at the 2nd High School?”
Luo Xiuyun instinctively avoided his gaze.
The air was silent for a moment. Pei Qingyuan smiled in a self-deprecating manner, not expecting an answer.
“I have something to do with a classmate. I will go first.”
Due to the power of his previous sentence, Luo Zhichang didn’t dare to stop him and just cursed in a low voice.
After walking out of the house, Pei Qingyuan took a deep breath and whispered to the system in his mind, “Sorry.”
What happened just now was completely contrary to the requirements of the task.
However, it was really hard for him to hold back the emotions that surged in his heart.
Still, Ji Tong felt it was very good. If it wasn’t for the conditions not allowing it, he really wanted to shake Luo Xiuyun’s brain to see how many basins of water he could shake out.
Ji Tong quickly comforted him. “Host, you don’t need to apologize to me. Honestly expressing your feelings is the first step to creating a healthy family relationship. You did it right.”
Then he paused and tactfully expressed the deep purpose behind his exaggerated praise. “The host’s breakfast looks so delicious.”
Pei Qingyuan was taken aback. He recalled the simple porridge and side dishes on the table just now. Then he belatedly remembered Ji Tong’s strong desire for lamb chops yesterday.
“Do you want to eat?” He asked uncertainly. “Aren’t you an artificial intelligence?”
Ji Tong started to pretend to be a foreigner in a serious manner. “Food is really a great invention of humanity. As soon as I was bound to the host yesterday, I was attracted by the mysterious fragrance. Then once I tasted it, it was hard for me to return to my pale life of data every day…”
Pei Qingyuan was dazed when he heard this, but at the same time, he wanted to laugh a bit. His mood relaxed accordingly.
“I will take you to eat savory crepes.” Pei Qingyuan pushed his bicycle through the bushes to avoid the crowd. “Every morning when I ride to school, I will pass by a savory crepes stall. It smells very good and I often see many students lining up to buy it.”
Thinking about it this way, the smell of crepes that he could smell every day seemed to be his only colorful memory these days.
10 minutes later, the handsome high school student with a cute-looking brother on the back seat stopped in front of the crepes stall.
Most people lining up here were students from the 2nd High School next door. Everyone was wearing the same school uniform.
The girls buying the savory crepes together couldn’t help whispering when they saw this particularly eye-catching pair of brothers.
“That child is so cute!”
“his brother is so handsome. Is he actually from our school? Why haven’t I seen him before? Did he just transfer this semester?”
Fu Chengze listened to these chattering voices around him and rolled his eyes irritably.
“Boss, is it read?” He blocked the front of the line and urged. “I’m in a hurry to go to school to clean up someone. I won’t be able to catch him if I’m late.”
The owner of the savory crepes stall had long been used to the violent style of this regular customer and casually replied, “I’ll get it ready right away. I’ll add another egg for you.”
The companion next to him bumped Fu Chengze’s shoulder. “Do you really want to clean up that boy?”
“Stop talking nonsense.” Fu Chengze snorted coldly. “I didn’t know there was such a thing behind Lin Yan’s transfer. That fake’s family must be very bad and caused Lin Yan to be separated from his family for so many years. I naturally have to warn that kid not to make any trouble.”
His companion smiled. “He has changed his surname and is no longer called Lin Yan.”
“What’s the matter? The person hasn’t changed,” Fu Chengze replied without thinking. “We have been brothers for so many years. If I don’t beat up that fake today, I won’t be surnamed Fu.”
The boss handed over the freshly cooked savory crepes. Fu Chengze grabbed them and immediately prepared to rush to the school.
He was just stepping on the pedals when he heard the soft voice of a child.
“Big brother.”
Fu Chengze turned his head in surprise and saw a little boy who was only as tall as his knees, looking up at him.
The boy seemed to be looking at him and the savory crepes in his hand.
This seemed to be the child the girls were talking about just now. He really was cute.
Facing such a child, Fu Chengze was a bit at a loss and instinctively softened his usual fierce tone, “You called me?”
The little boy nodded and showed him a simple and childish smile, but his tone was very serious.
“Are you going to beat up my brother?”
The author has something to say:
Fu Chengze and his savory crepe, danger.
