It took her four full hours to clean the house. She was so tired that she was out of breath and slumped down on a stool in the living room. Sweat rolled down her cheeks and she felt like she was about to fall apart.
"Gulp gulp..." She took out a bottle of spiritual spring water from the space, tilted her head back and drank it in one gulp. The cool and sweet spring water moistened her thirsty throat and also slightly relieved her physical fatigue.
"Four hours! Four whole hours!" Chen Xiaoru sat on the stool, unable to straighten her back. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her voice full of obvious fatigue and dissatisfaction as she complained to the air, "System, do you know how exhausted I've been these four hours? I've never worked for so long before. I feel like I'm falling apart!"
The system didn't respond at all, as if it didn't exist at all.
"Ah..." Chen Xiaoru sighed. Seeing the system was playing dead, she decided not to bother herself any more. She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little better. Gritting her teeth, she leaned against the wall, staggered to her feet, and headed towards the kitchen.
She bent over, picked up a few pieces of firewood from the pile with great effort, and stuffed them clumsily into the stove. Thick smoke instantly rushed out, choking her and making her cough violently. Tears flowed uncontrollably. She quickly covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, but she was still choked and rolled her eyes.
"Ahem... this damn stove, why is it so difficult to use!" Chen Xiaoru complained while wiping her tears.
After finally heating up the water, she laboriously poured it into the wooden tub, preparing to take a comfortable bath and relax.
She dragged her heavy steps back to the bedroom, opened the creaking wooden door, and saw a shabby wardrobe. She opened the door with trembling hands, and a musty smell hit her nose. There were several wrinkled clothes hanging inside, emitting a foul smell.
Chen Xiaoru suppressed her nausea and rummaged around until she finally found a set of relatively clean clothes in a corner. She breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of relief on her face, saying to herself, "Fortunately, fortunately, I still have something to wear, otherwise I would really be running around naked!"
She picked up her relatively clean clothes, walked out of the bedroom, and went to the bathroom. The bathroom was filled with steam, and the wooden tub was filled with mist. She couldn't wait to remove her sweat-soaked clothes. As soon as she entered the water, she felt as if her body was being pricked by countless tiny needles. Then, streams of black dirt seeped from her pores, and the once clear water instantly became murky.
"What...what is this?" Chen Xiaoru exclaimed, looking at the black substance that kept pouring out of her body. An indescribable stench hit her in the face, making her dizzy. "Why is it so smelly? I can't stand it!" She covered her nose, frowned, and couldn't help complaining.
She gritted her teeth, enduring the discomfort and unpleasant odor, and rinsed herself over and over again until the water stopped turning black, finally cleaning herself. The whole process took two hours, and she felt like she had undergone a baptism of rebirth, leaving her exhausted.
Leaving the bathroom, Chen Xiaoru looked at the pile of musty old clothes in the bedroom, feeling completely drained of energy. She dumped all the clothes in her closet into the wooden tub in the bathroom, deciding to wash them tomorrow. Today, she just wanted to rest.
She took out some simple food from the space, ate it greedily, then dragged her tired body back to the bedroom, fell headfirst onto the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Chen Xiaoru woke up, sunlight was already streaming through the window, casting dappled shadows on the ground. She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and looked around. The shabby house was still simple, and the fatigue from the previous day still lingered in her body.
Why!……
She sighed deeply, ruffled her messy hair, sat up slowly, and said to the system without thinking, "One beauty pill, one body pill."
"Okay, host!" The system's voice was filled with a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal, sounding like a child who had obtained a favorite toy.
Chen Xiaoru took out two pills that exuded a faint medicinal fragrance from the space and threw them all into her mouth, as casually as eating candy beans. She chewed them and asked vaguely, "When will it take effect?"
"Host, there will be changes every day. If it happens too quickly, people will become suspicious." The system explained patiently with a hint of flattery in its tone.
"Yeah." Chen Xiaoru replied casually, standing up with a hint of laziness in her movements. After a quick wash and a quick bite, she began to deal with the things she hadn't finished yesterday, as if she hadn't been the one who was exhausted yesterday.
After packing everything up, Chen Xiaoru sat down on a stool in the living room, sighed, and began to think about her next steps.
She lowered her head, her gaze falling on her trembling body of fat. Her brows knitted into knots, and she muttered to herself, "I have to find a way to get rid of this fat first. Even though I took those pills, I can't just wait for it to disappear on its own. Carrying this fat all day long makes it difficult to move. It's too painful. As for the rest, let's wait until I meet that kid Xiao Lang!"
Having made up her mind, Chen Xiaoru acted decisively.
From the next day on, every day when it was just dawn and the family compound was still quiet, Chen Xiaoru struggled to get out of bed.
She took a deep breath, as if to inhale all the morning air into her lungs, then took heavy steps and began to run around the family compound in circles.
"Huff...Huff..." Her heavy breathing was particularly clear in the quiet morning, and her heavy footsteps seemed to be collapsing the ground.
Sweat flowed down her cheeks, soaking her clothes. With every step she took, the fat on her body trembled, as if protesting the sudden exercise.
