Ben looked around the room again, but still found nothing.

[Don't look for it, meow. This system is in your mind, meow!]

Xiao Ben bent down and looked under the bed, but it was empty too.

A nurse passed by and advised him not to do any dangerous actions since his health was just fine. She left only after Xiao Ben nodded seriously.

[Meow~ Host, are you free to discuss with me which path to take to abuse the scumbag? ]

Xiao Ben calmed down. He remembered that he had read system articles. Most of them were about an ordinary person who was suddenly bound to a certain system. The system forced that person to do a certain task. Then that person worked hard to complete the task like a donkey with a carrot tied to it, and then slapped the faces of those who looked down on him, and then became a high-end person in a certain field.

[This scumbag abuse system of mine isn't some inhumane system, meow. This system has scanned the host's body, and it's very bad. I've also scanned the host's personality, and it's very cowardly... ahem, gentle. So, the requirements I set for the host are very low, meow!]

"Can you sense my thoughts?" Xiao Ben asked alertly.

"No, it's just that everyone thinks that way, meow!"

"...I'll trust you for now. How low are your requirements?" If there is really any benefit, Xiao Ben is happy to do it.

[The host was unconscious at the time and may not have heard clearly, meow. This system will repeat meow...]

"Wait a minute," Xiao Ben interrupted, "I was just about to ask, why do you always add a 'meow' at the end of your words? Are you a cat?"

"Of course not!" The system's voice suddenly grew louder, and it hurriedly denied the wrongdoing, as if feeling guilty: "This system is just a system. It's a high-tech AI, not a cat!"

"...Okay," Xiao Ben said doubtfully, "Then go on."

[Ahem, I just mentioned the host requirements. First of all! This system does not force the host to complete tasks! This means that if the host does not abuse the scumbag, there will be no punishment; however, if the host abuses the scumbag and succeeds, they will gain scumbag abuse points, which can be used to redeem many goodies!]

"What good stuff are there?" Xiao Ben asked with interest.

If you want to be a star, our redemption system offers acting talent, singing talent, and more. If you want to go into business, we have the best business recommendation service, luck buffs, and more. If you want to do research, we have one-on-one high-tech teaching and tutoring. If you just want to make money, I can also redeem you for stunning beauty and a beautiful voice...

[No matter which direction the host likes, he can reach the top and dominate the world! ]

Xiao Ben listened patiently for a while before finally asking, "Is there anything practical?"

[These are all very practical!] The system is puzzled: [Each one is the best and most excellent product!]

"I mean, the down-to-earth kind, farming, you know?" Xiao Ben asked.

[Farming, let me see. Farming means enjoying a slow life, accumulating little by little... Oh, I see. Host, do you want to be less impatient for success? I didn't expect you to be so steady at such a young age...]

"Farming!" Xiao Ben emphasized, "That's what I want to do! The kind of farming where you clear the land, plant the seedlings, and then do some odd jobs and wait for the harvest!"

Xiao Ben himself didn't know why he had such an idea. He usually didn't even want to exercise, so why did he suddenly want to farm?

But when this unidentified object claiming to be a system mentioned his favorite direction, the goal of "farming" suddenly popped up in Xiao Ben's mind.

It's not a temporary novelty, but it seems like it has been accepted for many years and I really like the feeling.

The system was stunned.

This is too steady, almost as steady as an old man.

The system firmly objected: [Are you kidding me? You have such a powerful cheat code like mine, and you're actually saying you want to go farming?! You're so pathetic!]

"How can this be considered hopeless! Working hard on the farm is the greatest thing, and everything else is just corrupt and enjoyable thinking!" Xiao Ben was also very determined.

The system was confused. This didn't match the host's thoughts that it had scanned. Could it be that the host's brain was damaged by being in a coma for too long?

[…Anyway, I won’t help you farm, so just give up!] The system snorted and ignored the host.

"You can't even farm, you're really useless!" Xiao Ben ignored it and said, "I remember my grandfather was a big farmer. I'll go find him."

The system couldn't help but taunt him: [Looking for him? He doesn't like your family. If he sees you, he might just kick you out!]

Xiao Ben didn't say anything, but he was actually planning something in his mind.

Ben had a hunch that this system wasn't simple. It said it wouldn't help him farm, but it must have some goodies related to farming, it just didn't want to share them. He'd just hold it in and see who would give in first.

"It's strange, you're getting better so quickly!"

The doctor was very surprised after giving Xiao Ben a detailed examination on the morning of the fourth day. He was so weak when he was first brought in and almost died, but he was only in the hospital for a few days and was given some glucose. How come he is so much healthier now?

"I'm in good health." Xiao Ben said with a smile. There was no cowardice on his face as the doctor thought, as if he had suffered abuse. Instead, he looked very cheerful.

"You have a very good physique, young man. If you hadn't been tortured, you might still be much stronger now," the doctor said to Xiao Ben. "If you want, you can be discharged now."

"So fast? Thank you, doctor." After the examination, Xiao Ben got out of bed and moved his hands and feet. He was indeed very strong.

"You're welcome. Take good care of yourself in the future." The doctor nodded and left.

Xiao Ben went through the discharge procedures by himself. After leaving the hospital, he took the bus and returned to the home where he had lived for several years but which felt very unfamiliar.

The three were finally sentenced to detention, but since Xiao Ben was indeed seriously ill at the time, it was not justifiable to detain him for only a dozen days, so the final decision was to detain him for one month. However, if he behaved well, he would be released early.

At least the house is very quiet now, with no one in it.

Xiao Ben took out the key and opened the door of his house. The house was still the same as before. Xiao Ben felt very familiar with it, yet felt a sense of distance.

Xiao Ben shook his head, put these thoughts aside, and walked towards his room.

I'm going to my grandfather's house, and I have to pack up some necessary things and take them with me.

To be honest, all of Xiao Ben's things are in his own cramped little room. There are only a few pieces of clothes, some daily necessities, toiletries, etc., plus some important documents and various commemorative items. There are really not many.

In the end, after he packed up all his belongings in the room, his suitcase was full.

Xiao Ben looked around and made sure that there was nothing left in the room. He picked up his suitcase and left. When he reached the door, he stopped again.

Xiao Ben remembered that he was holding a slippery object in his hand when he was unconscious. It was definitely not an illusion.

Xiao Ben walked back to the bed and searched inside and out, but found nothing.

Then he had an idea, lay down and looked under the bed.

It was pitch black under the bed, but there was no need to look for it. A small pink object was lying quietly very close to the bed.

Xiao Ben reached out and took it out, stood up and looked at it in the light, and found that it was a small soap in the shape of a pink strawberry.

This is strange. How did I get this in my hand? I didn't have it before I passed out.

Xiao Ben couldn't remember where it came from, but he always felt that it was very important, so he put it away carefully, put it in his suitcase, and prepared to take it with him when he left the house.

Before leaving, Xiao Ben hesitated again. Although the system was a bit unreliable, one thing it said might be true: grandpa might not take him in.

More than 20 years ago, Xiao Ben's mother Liu Shuangyue resolutely married the outsider Gou Qi despite the opposition of her father Liu Yibiao. At that time, Gou Qi was educated and quite gentle, which attracted the attention of many girls. It was not surprising that Liu Shuangyue fell in love with Gou Qi.

But although it is said that Gou Qi's family used to be a wealthy family, now the elders in the family have passed away or died, and the family has no property. He is the only one left, so he is not a good match.

However, even so, Gou Qi still refused to marry into the family.

Liu Yibiao had said long ago that his daughter could only marry a son-in-law and not someone outside the family, so the two sides had a disagreement. Liu Shuangyue and Gou Qi left the village together and went to the city to work hard.

At that time, Gou Qi was still a poor boy, but Liu Shuangyue brought a lot of money because she was favored at home, which allowed Gou Qi to do some small business, and the two worked hard together.

Therefore, Liu Yibiao refused to interact with Liu Shuangyue and others. Even when Liu Shuangyue brought the child back to see him after giving birth, he just sat aside and said nothing.

But Liu Shuangyue's mother, Wang Fengjing, felt sorry for her daughter and went to the city to visit her. She found that the family was renting a small room, so she paid for a small house for the family to live in. Although the house prices at that time were not as high as they are now, they were not low either. This money was most likely given by Liu Yibiao, the head of the family.

Xiao Ben put down his suitcase and decided to go visit his grandfather first.

After leaving the house, Xiao Ben took a look at the large yard at the back. You Ying should live there.

Xiao Ben walked to the door and pressed the doorbell, but no one answered. They must have gone to work.

Xiao Ben is leaving, so he should at least say goodbye to his "creditor", otherwise people will think he is running away from his debt.

Xiao Ben bought some gifts, checked the map route on his phone, and took a bus to his grandfather's house.

In the car, Xiao Ben took out his cell phone and sent a message to You Ying on WeChat.

Xiao Ben: "Brother You, I'm going to move to my grandpa's house. I'll transfer your money here when I get my salary!"

There was no response from the other end, so the person was probably not there. Xiao Ben didn't wait and put the phone back into his pocket.

Although Xiaoben's grandfather's home is in the countryside, it is not too far from the city and can be reached by taking a bus, so the distance is not a problem.

The problem is how to get grandpa to accept him... and preferably let him participate in farming.

Xiao Ben doesn’t have money to rent a field now, but he can wait until he saves enough money before renting one. He now feels that he has always wanted to farm. If he doesn’t have his own field, he can help others farm!

However, grandpa didn’t have much contact with their family, and after moving, grandma hadn’t come for a long time.

Although my mother went against my grandfather's wishes and married off, she named him "Ben," following his early ideas, indicating that she still missed him very much. Even though she later became ill and rarely came to the village, she still remembered the place clearly and often talked about it with little Ben.

"Hiss--" The bus stopped at the platform and Xiao Ben got off the bus with the gift.

Xiao Ben took a deep breath. As expected, the air seemed much fresher among the green mountains and clear waters. In front of him was the village where his grandfather lived. He strode towards the village entrance.

Walking on the not very fine cement road, some noise was made, not loud, but it attracted the attention of many people who were working outside at the village entrance.

The people in the village all know each other, and there are usually few outsiders coming here. They are very unfamiliar with Xiao Ben and feel a little curious about him.

"Hey boy!"

When Xiao Ben heard the shouting, he turned around and saw a middle-aged man leaning against a pickup truck and smiling at him.

"Hello, uncle!" Xiao Ben smiled back generously.

"Who are you looking for? I know everyone in our village." The middle-aged man thought the young man was quite pleasing to his eye and greeted him enthusiastically.

"I'm looking for my grandpa, his name is Liu Yibiao." Xiao Ben was happy to have someone to help him. The village was winding and the houses were not built in neat rows, so it was not easy to find him even if he had the address.

The uncle was surprised, then turned around and shouted to the village: "Chief! Your grandson is back!!"

His voice was loud, but it didn't scare Xiao Ben. Instead, there was a commotion in the village ahead. People from every household leaned out to look. In the distance, a gruff voice shouted back into the village, like a relay: "Chief! Your grandson has arrived!"

"Chief! You have a grandson!"

"Chief! You grandson!"

Xiao Ben: ...

Not long after, in a village far away, Xiao Ben's grandfather, Liu Yibiao, ran out of the house in a rage and slapped the young man who was shouting outside: "Liu Dong, who are you calling your grandson? You have no respect for your elders!"

"Hey, hey! I mean, your grandson is back!"

"Nonsense! Our two grandsons are still studying away from home! How could another grandson suddenly appear?"

"Hey, really!"

…

After a while of confusion, Liu Yibiao finally met Xiaoben.

Xiao Ben looked at the serious old man opposite him and called out with a smile, "Grandpa!"

"Hmph!" The old man looked him over but didn't buy it: "Why call me grandpa?! I'm not your grandpa!"

The author has something to say:

Xiao Ben: Farming is what the successors of socialism should really do. Everything else is just capitalism's sugar-coated bullets.

I went out and had a delicious chicken stew with mushrooms. I don't know what kind of mushrooms they were, but I ate a lot. Then my mom told me the boss had picked them in the mountains. No wonder so many people go up the mountain to pick mushrooms; wild mushrooms are so delicious...

Thanks... for irrigating 1 bottle of nutrient solution (*●u●*)~
