He also had a high fever and a terrible headache.

As if seeing that he was upset, the talking little yellow chicken began to hum an unknown nursery rhyme softly.

His voice was soft, but Chen Xi could hear it clearly. The noise of the children seemed to be isolated outside the quilt.

In his world, the only thing left was the man's gentle nursery rhyme.

Chen Xi's body relaxed and he gradually felt sleepy.

In his hazy consciousness, he remembered the first time he went to steal eggs, he heard a few children in front of the chicken coop, touching the eggs and chatting.

One of the children said that a chick does not recognize its own mother. After it is born, it will regard whoever it sees the first time as its mother.

Another child wearing glasses refuted him, saying that the chick had not mistaken its mother, it was just a survival instinct. Animal cubs will follow moving objects to increase their chances of survival.

The children argued for a long time but could not come to a conclusion, so they decided to hatch the stolen eggs into chicks to see who was right.

Chen Xi still doesn't know which child was right. Not long after they took out the eggs that day, they completely forgot about it and directly made egg drop soup with the eggs.

Chen Xi stroked the fluffy chick in his palm with his fingertips, and thought of the chick's confused expression again.

The chicks probably thought he was their mother.

But he wanted to eat him and use him. He was indeed a bad boy, otherwise he would not have been thrown into the orphanage to be punished.

Chen Xi raised his hand in a daze, put the little chicken to his lips and kissed it gently.

The chicks were kind to him, so he wanted to raise them beautifully and sell them to a good family.

Seeing the little villain fall asleep, Yu Tong's soul entered the system space.

The little light ball stood blankly in front of the table, staring blankly at the express delivery that Yu Tong had mistakenly opened.

Upon hearing footsteps, the system hurriedly put away the small medicine bottle, put its hands behind its back and pretended nothing had happened.

Yu Tong raised his eyebrows.

Oh, it seems that the white pills in the bottle are really prepared for him.

The system is an honest person, and all its thoughts are written on its face.

Yu Tong glanced at the Xianyu surveillance camera on the wall, knowing that he couldn't get anything out of it, so he simply pretended that he saw nothing.

"My dear, where are the new props you bought for me? I have a tough battle tomorrow and I want to see if they can be used."

[Oh, yes, props!]

The system rummaged through the cabinet for a while and took out a small black mask and a cross-body canvas bag.

[I got this little mask from the Infinite Stream Mall. It's an exclusive item for the Charming Beauty.]

Yu Tong picked up the mask and looked at it carefully. It was an ordinary black half-face mask and there was nothing special about it.

He said casually: "But I'm not a heartthrob."

It doesn't matter, you are a great beauty.

The system flipped through the instructions. [The full name of the item is 'I have all the beauties you want!' After putting on the mask, you can choose any beautiful woman you've seen in this world and transform into her.]

"Chicken body, human face, beautiful chicken?"

[…No, it's about transforming into a human. It's like a body transformation, but it can only transform into a person recognized as a beauty according to the current mainstream aesthetic. Each transformation lasts 10 minutes, with a cooldown of 5 hours.]

The best thing about it isn't the ability to transform at will, but the fact that once you become that person, you inherit their abilities. For example, if you transform into a beautiful mage, you'll instantly master all of their spells. It only lasts ten minutes, but if used well, it's incredibly powerful!

The system took out a small notebook that came with the props and told him to remember to record the beauty when he saw her, so that he could access the data at any time.

Yu Tong took the notebook and gestured towards Chen Xi who was catching up on his sleep, and immediately a character portrait of Chen Xi appeared on the notebook.

He knew that in the eyes of people in this novel world, Chen Xi must be very beautiful.

Otherwise, Sister Love wouldn't stare at his face with greedy eyes every time before beating him.

The items purchased through the system are indeed somewhat useful, but they are not suitable for the orphanage.

The nuns here are all muscular and have fat faces.

The female gender characteristics on them are particularly vague, and some nuns even look a little bit like normal humans.

Nuns weren't eligible for the props, and orphans were too weak. Someone like Chen Xi, even though she was a beauty, didn't have much strength.

This tool cannot be used according to the system's teachings; it needs to be used differently.

With the simple idea that it wouldn't be a loss to give it a try, Yu Tong secretly scanned all the children in the dormitory.

When the notebook scanned Lily, it finally responded after being silent.

Yu Tong looked at the little girl who was dressing the teddy bear. Lily had big eyes, a small face, and was very fair and clean. She was really cute.

When he lowered his head to look at the book, Yu Tong suddenly discovered that the character portrait included in the book was not the little girl Lily, but a strange adult woman.

The woman's dry long black hair was scattered in a messy manner, covering half of her face.

Her skin was pale, her cheeks sunken, and there were dark circles under her eyes. Her tattered clothes could barely cover her skinny body.

Yu Tong had never seen this woman, but he had seen people like her.

They could always see these people on the main road near their hometown, men and women, lying in groups on both sides of the road like breathing skeletons.

They exchanged their bodies for food with passing drivers. If they couldn't get food, they would look for corpses to eat.

If there is really nothing to eat, they will starve to death quietly on the street and wait for others to come and eat.

Seeing that he remained silent, the system curiously asked him what he was thinking about.

Yu Tong casually told the little light ball about the things in his hometown.

The system blinked blankly, [You guys don't count those dead people individually, but by the piece?]

'hold head high. '

[Famine? No way. Isn't your technology very advanced? Even holographic game cabins are on sale. How can there be a famine?]
