Body swap
Upon hearing Su Yanxi's idea, the system was happy to see it come true.
[Host, in this case, let's quickly enter the mining area and start mining!]
Su Yanxi: "It's just talk. I still have to go to class. It's not worth it for a stupid cup."
The system emitted a lost electronic sound.
In the evening, Su Yanxi was unwilling to go back with Shen Zhe, and even more unwilling to see Su Cheng, so she directly called the driver at home and asked him to pick her up.
Shen Zhe waited at the entrance of the Department of Agriculture but no one showed up. He pulled over a student from the Department of Agriculture and asked, only to find out that his fiancée had already left after class.
"Brother Shen Zhe, is my sister still angry about what happened this morning?" Su Cheng asked knowingly.
"Don't worry, I will explain everything to my sister tonight. It doesn't matter if she hits me or scolds me, as long as it can make her calm down!" She said in a firm voice.
Shen Zhe couldn't bear to see this. He knew that Su Cheng had just returned to the Su family. Judging from his fiancée's temperament and Su Cheng's timidity, Su Cheng must have suffered a lot of grievances.
Su Cheng was already suffering in the slums, and when he returned home he was in this state again. He didn't feel the warmth of home at all.
The more Shen Zhe thought about it, the more he felt that Su Yanxi's behavior was problematic. Even if Su Cheng was the one who was wrong in this matter, as an older sister, couldn't she let her sister, who had been bullied for more than ten years, go along with it?
"It's okay, ignore her." Shen Zhe got angry and sent Su Cheng back to the Su family. He rejected Su Cheng's suggestion to go up and take a look, and drove away quickly.
Su Cheng smiled silently.
Childhood sweethearts are just like this!

Su Yanxi returned to the bedroom early. She was not too affected by Shen Zhe and Su Cheng, but was discussing with the system how to mine next.
"I have classes from Monday to Friday and have no mood to mine. I need to take a day off on Saturday and Sunday to soothe my tired mind from classes, so it's best to mine once a week." Su Yanxi sat cross-legged on the bed, watering the small succulent plants that grew in the pot on the bedside table while speaking.
[No, host, the idea of working only one day a week is too terrifying! Besides, if you're the only one digging, how much can you mine in a year?]
"?" Su Yanxi was full of questions. "Why can't you dig slowly? Do you have a KPI?"
[Yes, host, so we have to work hard on mining.]
"That's your task, what does it have to do with me? System, I've already given you a lot of face by agreeing to mine, so don't be so rude!" Su Yanxi said casually.
The system emitted a chaotic electronic sound.
[Host, mining is also good for you! You can earn points, which can be exchanged for items, and even various plants suitable for interstellar growth. As long as you use the system well, you will become the most powerful planting master in the interstellar space!]
It is undeniable that the future picture depicted by the system is somewhat attractive to Su Yanxi.
"you mean……"
[Mining is good, mining is wonderful, mining makes your life awesome!]
"Although, I have to go to class. If I mine for five hours every day, I don't have to graduate." Su Yanxi knew which was more important, the big pie in the future or the tangible benefits now.
Most of the redeemable items on the redemption panel were unclear. Who could guarantee that the system hadn't deceived her? If she went mining and ultimately didn't exchange for the so-called plants suitable for interstellar growth, and also abandoned her studies and couldn't graduate on time, it would be a huge loss!
Once his own interests are involved, Su Yanxi becomes terrifyingly rational.
[Host, don't worry. If the conditions aren't there, we'll create them. I'll take care of everything. I'll definitely let you mine with peace of mind!]
After the system gave such a guarantee, Su Yanxi instantly felt it was unreliable.
[Go to sleep, host. I will make sure you dig up the mines tomorrow morning!]
Su Yanxi was confused by the system's words.
Is there any way to make her study well and mine the minerals at the same time? Create a clone for her?
Su Yanxi's right eyelid was twitching, and he always felt that something was going to happen.
I had something on my mind and thought I would have a restless sleep, but unexpectedly I had a good night's sleep.
When the biological clock arrived, Su Yanxi woke up naturally. He opened his eyes and saw a thick darkness in front of him, without a trace of light, as if the sun had been extinguished by a basin of cold water.
Mihuo sat up and her hand was scratched by the cold and rough bed, and she took a breath.
[Host, there is a rope on the wall to your left. Pull it and light will appear.]
Su Yanxi did as she was told. With a "click", a faint yellow light came down from above her head. When she saw the surroundings clearly, she was stunned.
It was a small, cramped space with no windows and walls made of uneven rocks. Apart from a simple shelf with a few pieces of cloth draped over it and a space just wide enough for one person to meet their daily needs, there was nothing else.
The words "bare walls and bare ground" became concrete for the first time in Su Yanxi's life. No, Su Yanxi couldn't call this space home at all. It was just a dirty cave where primitive people lived.
"If I continue staying here, I'm going blind!" Su Yanxi rubbed his eyes which were gradually blurring under the dim light.
"System, don't you think you should give me an explanation?"
[Host, this is what happened. To better mine, I've swapped your body with the target host's. He has better mining conditions. This way, he can complete your studies for you, and you can focus on mining.]
[Host, are you happy? Are you surprised?!]
Su Yanxi: ...unhappy, not surprised, and even has a faint sense of death!
"You are such a genius, system!" Su Yanxi clenched his fists.
[You're welcome, host!]
The system's electronic sound fluctuated playfully, sounding very exciting.
Su Yanxi: ...You can’t expect an artificial idiot to understand human language.
At this point, Su Yanxi did not accept the reality well.
She looked down at her current body, with its sturdy arms, chest muscles bigger than hers, tight and well-defined abdominal muscles, and a lower body that looked very cool in the apron.
Her bare feet on the ground were not clean, and her hands were covered with calluses, much heavier than those she had ever seen on Su Cheng's hands.
I can’t even afford clothes and shoes!
Su Yanxi wanted to cry but had no tears, and fell dead on the stone bed.
[Host? Host! What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly look like you're about to die?!]
Su Yanxi: "Don't make a noise, my body is fine."
[Host, what corpse? Don't scare me!]
The crude nervous system finally reacted. Su Yanxi was not satisfied with his brilliant idea, and even less satisfied with this body.
[……]
[Host, this body is actually quite good. Its physical fitness is over ten times stronger than your own. Look! These muscles, these lines, are simply perfect. Those boiled chickens in your aristocratic academy definitely can't have that. Just be happy!]
As the system spoke, in order to make Su Yanxi deeply realize how perfect this body was, it unfolded a mirror composed of multiple high-definition lenses.
Su Yanxi sat up and only then saw what she looked like in the mirror.
A very handsome face... a profile as if carved by a knife and an axe, handsome eyebrows, a clear jaw line, and thin lips with a bit of arrogance. What attracted Su Yanxi the most was his short golden hair and a pair of orange animal ears in between his hair, with two tufts of long hair on the tips of his ears.
It looks like a cute kitten with smart fur.
Although his sturdy and well-built body makes him look neither manly nor cute, his ears and soft hair look really nice to touch.
Su Yanxi was eager to try, so he reached out and touched the tip of his ear tentatively.
The animal ears were very sensitive. As soon as her fingers touched the hair beside the ears, they began to tremble uncontrollably, and a tingling sensation rose from her tailbone.
She rubbed the soft top of her head and it felt really good. She couldn't help but stroke her hair like a cat.
[Host, don’t you think this is a bit strange?]
"Eh? Ha, hahahahahaha, I was just checking to see if these ears were real!" Su Yanxi looked embarrassed, feeling as embarrassed as if he had been caught stealing. "How could someone have animal ears?!"
[Host, there is a disease in the interstellar world. When human mental power erupts, they transform into beasts, causing them to lose their sanity and return to their primitive state, becoming ruthless beasts.]
"Like those violent animals?" Su Yanxi asked.
[Yes. ]
"Then isn't that no different from the Zerg!" Su Yanxi was shocked by the news that humans could also degenerate into Zerg.
She had always thought the Zerg were merely ferocious creatures. If humans were also members of the Zerg, then how exactly should the line between them be drawn? Should they be lumped together, or should they still cling to that shred of humanism?
Judging from the man's current situation, Su Yanxi could probably guess something.
The empire has always wanted to have it all: solve problems and maintain a good reputation. Therefore, solving the problem becomes the best solution.
The man was apparently locked up in some unknown dark corner and left to perish, dedicating his last bit of value to the empire before losing his mind.
"I don't want to stay here!" Su Yanxi's nose felt sore.
The Su family's home is not as comfortable as before, but compared to here, it's still like heaven.
Compared with the man's situation, she would rather be the eldest daughter of the Su family who is loved by no one and has a bad personality as described by the system.
[Host, we don't need to stay here for too long. We can dig some minerals and be back soon!]
"But I don't want to stay even for a day..."
Su Yanxi didn't cry or make a fuss, but she looked very pitiful, and the system became a little anxious.
[Host, we are all here...]
[…Mainly, there's no ore or energy to activate the space-time channel to exchange souls…]
"...You are so cruel!" Su Yanxi was drained of all his energy.
When God closes a door for you, he always closes the window as well, right?
Su Yanxi raised his hand and rubbed the animal ears on his head.
She didn't like it here at all, except for the animal ears.
"Forget it, at least I have fulfilled my wish of having a pet." Su Yanxi comforted himself.
The nobles tacitly do not allow the presence of pets, believing that all animals carry the lowly genes of the Zerg and are detrimental to the noble family. As a noble lady, Su Yanxi has never revealed this preference in front of others, but when she sees a cute cat or dog, her eyes will pause for a few seconds.
Now I can see enough!
However, this body ultimately belongs to another person, and she felt ashamed of coveting someone else's body.
Following this line of thought, if a commoner who was living a very unhappy life entered her fresh and beautiful body, there was no telling what heinous things he might do.
!!!
Su Yanxi couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears.
"System, you'd better pray he doesn't mess with my body, or I'll chop you into pieces and turn your code to ashes!"
[!] The system emitted a burst of garbled sound.
