Mistakenly binding the mining system
Su Cheng's homecoming banquet ended successfully. After the dinner, all the guests knew that the Su family had a talented second daughter who was as bright as a pearl. Even her elder sister who had received aristocratic education was dim in front of her.
"Miss Su Er is so outstanding, the royal family must be regretting it terribly! It's not that Miss Su Da is not good, it's just that this person cannot be compared!" said a graceful and elegant lady.
"Indeed!"
"That's right, if I had known the Su family had two daughters, I shouldn't have decided on the marriage partner so early!"
…
Su Yanxi was unaware of the guests' discussions, but she was very perceptive. Everyone looked at her with a mixture of pity, and some even had a hint of disdain.
Su Yanxi has always been the arrogant eldest daughter. Even though she is not talented and her mental strength is only A-level, no one has ever dared to be presumptuous in front of her, just because she is the eldest daughter of the Su family and the only child of the Su family. Now, after the Su family has another daughter, it seems as if she is about to be exiled to the mining planet!
These people really looked down on her, Su Yanxi! It was just because Su Cheng had just returned that her parents' guilt towards her prevailed. If this continued, it was still unknown what would happen.
Su Yanxi thought, after all, she was the one who was raised for twenty years, and her parents spoiled her for twenty years, and this would not change because of anyone!
These guests are just too nosy and worry about things that shouldn’t be their business!
After the homecoming banquet, which was a great success for both the host and the guests, Su Yanxi felt particularly tired today. It was not physical fatigue, but mental fatigue.
Gossip doesn't hurt people, but it affects their mood, and she happens to be a person who is easily affected by the environment.
After the guests left, she breathed a sigh of relief, but Su Cheng didn't intend to let her go. As if showing off, he said proudly: "Sister, my mental strength level is SS. Dad told me to work hard. The Su family will rely on me in the future! But I just came back and I don't know anything yet!"
"Well, congratulations." Su Yanxi said indifferently.
"Sister, aren't you happy for me?" Su Cheng continued to ask.
Su Cheng's mother was not around, but Su Yanxi was not indulging Su Cheng. She approached Su Cheng with a cold face, and forced Su Cheng to sit on the sofa with her sharp aura. She looked down at Su Cheng, "You always cling to me. Don't you know you are annoying?"
Su Yanxi patted Su Cheng's face provocatively, "Don't be so shameless. If you know I'm unhappy, just get out of here."
After saying this, Su's mother returned to the living room after chatting with the guests and happened to see this scene.
"What are you doing?"
Su Yanxi straightened up and casually put her arm around Su Cheng's shoulders, looking like a close sister.
"Mom, my sister asked me to help check if her makeup is smudged. We are going to touch up our makeup, right, sister?" Her smile was as bright as a sunflower blooming towards the sun. No one who saw her would think that she had bad intentions.
Mother Su was very pleased to see the close relationship between the two, "Finally, she looks a bit like a sister!"
"Yeah, I've wanted to have a younger sister for a long time. Now that my wish has come true, I will definitely get along well with my younger sister!" Su Yanxi was very well-behaved.
She was not stupid. Even if she hated Su Cheng, she knew that she was definitely not the one to blame for the breakdown of the relationship.
Su Cheng wanted to pretend to be a good sister, and she didn't mind playing along with her to the end. This was a compulsory course for every noble lady and also her strong point.
"Mom, I like my sister too!" Su Cheng smiled faintly. Su Yanxi's expression changed faster than the weather, and she had not yet adapted to the transition between the two.
After Su Yanxi's acting skills exploded, Su Cheng quieted down and retreated to his room to rest, using the excuse of being tired. Su Yanxi chatted with his mother for a while.
"Xixi, Chengcheng will go to school with you next Monday. She just started a new school, so you should keep an eye on her." Mother Su said, then she remembered something and added:
"She just came back and is timid. We'll be fine once we can change her temperament."
"Okay." When talking about Su Cheng, Su Yanxi suddenly felt sleepy and immediately made an excuse to hide back in the room.
Having raised her daughter for twenty years, Su's mother naturally knew why she ran so fast and sighed.
…
At night, Su Yanxi was awakened by thirst and went downstairs to drink some water. On her way back to her room, she passed by her parents' room and saw that the light was still on. She wanted to knock on the door to remind them to go to bed early, but she heard her parents mention her fiancé's name, so she couldn't help but listen carefully.
Father Su took off his coat and climbed onto the bed, saying, "This afternoon, I ran into the Emperor and Empress and the Second Prince. The Emperor and Empress asked about Chengcheng's situation and asked the Second Prince to spend more time with this sister. I don't know what they meant by that."
"The royal family wants to change the marriage partner? That shouldn't be the case. Chengcheng's mental strength had not been measured at that time." Su's mother guessed.
Father Su shook his head. He couldn't figure it out either. "Who knows after today."
"The two little ones have been cultivating a bond for so long, it wouldn't be a good idea to swap them!" Su's mother said, "Alas, if Chengcheng had been raised by my side, the Su family wouldn't be in such a difficult position."
Su Yanxi, who was outside the door, clenched her palms. Unable to bear it any longer, she hurried back to her room. She did not hear Su's father's rebuke:
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Mother Su was worried. "I'm worried that Xixi is so arrogant. If they really exchange marriages, how will the two sisters get along in the future..."
"Don't think about things that haven't happened."
…
When she returned to the room, the quilt was still warm, but Su Yanxi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. The biting cold made her shiver.
"...If I had Chengcheng as my child..."
These words echoed in her ears. This voice once called her "Xixi" gently, but now it said such cold words.
Now, she was a little unsure which side would prevail, the decades of nurturing or the guilt, especially since she was so much less talented than Su Cheng.
No one doesn't like the strong——
Su Yanxi thought sadly, fell asleep in a daze, and was woken up by a strange sound.
[Target host detected, mining system binding in progress——]
"?" Su Yanxi scratched her already messy hair in annoyance, "Who is it? It's so noisy!"
She grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it out. The pillow hit the wall with a dull thud and fell to the ground. The voice in her ears still followed her like a shadow, muttering to herself stubbornly.
[Host binding successful! Hello, distinguished host, please allow me to introduce myself. I am a mining system from another dimension... Who are you?]
The electronic voice was very elegant at the beginning. Su Yanxi was forced to listen to his self-introduction, staring blankly at the ceiling. Before he finished his introduction, he suddenly made a sharp explosion. She quickly covered her ears, but unfortunately the sound seemed to come from her head, and she could hear it no matter what she did.
Su Yanxi felt like life was hopeless.
"Don't you think you said my lines?" Su Yanxi scratched his ears, which were almost deafened by the noise. "Excuse me, who are you?"
The mining system ignored her and hurriedly made a few meaningless beeps.
[It’s over, I tied it wrong!]
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you listening to me? Did you tie me up wrong? Perfect, untie me and don't disturb my sleep!"
[Uh—that's right, host, we don't offer unbinding services right now! So, please act as the host of this system!]
"Why can't I unbind it? Whoever you originally wanted to bind, you can just unbind and then bind again." Su Yanxi didn't understand this thing that called itself a system. She suspected she was dreaming.
She pinched her thigh hard and gasped, "Hiss!"
It hurts!
[Host, your magnetic field is too close to that of the target host. In fact, there is no difference between tying you up and tying him up. You are like a family.]
"How did we become a family?" Su Yanxi was puzzled. "You were going to kidnap Su Cheng?"
[no. ]
"My parents?"
[no. ]
[Host, we are not family just because we are related by blood.]
"Forget it, I don't understand your nonsense, but you have to understand one thing, there is a big difference between tying me up and tying him up!"
"Because of me, Su Yanxi, I will never be able to go mining in this life!" Su Yanxi said word by word.
[……]
Mining System: Please tell me, what should I do if I bind to the wrong host and the host is unwilling to complete the task? Waiting online, it's urgent!
[Host, you can get a lot of wealth by participating in mining. After leveling up, you can also recruit miners to help you mine. From then on, freeing your hands, you can become a mine owner, sitting at home and enjoying the wealth rolling in. Don’t you want that kind of life?]
"Which nobleman would go mining? Besides, I have plenty of money!" Su Yanxi curled her lips.
Suddenly, she has a younger sister who plays tricks on her and her parents don't love her, and now there is a system that wants her to go mining. How could the eldest daughter of the Su family have ever suffered such humiliation?
"Stop insulting me and find a civilian to mine for you!"
[Host, listen to me, this mine is very easy to dig. All you need to do is wave your hand and dig with your pickaxe. Hey, guess what, you can easily get a piece of high-quality ore! Why don't you give it a try? Maybe you have a talent for mining?]
Su Yanxi: What a dirty curse!
"You have a talent for mining, your whole family has a talent for mining!" Su Yanxi said.
Then she curled up in the quilt and covered her ears with it. Although it didn't help, it at least gave herself the illusion that she couldn't hear anything.
Just when the system thought that the mining project would be aborted before it even began and his mission was about to fail, Su Yanxi suddenly threw back the quilt and sat up, asking:
"You just said I can recruit miners to mine?"
[Yes, honorable host.]
"Oh," Su Yanxi thought thoughtfully, "Can we force them to mine?"
[……]
[The Planar Treaty stipulates that in order to avoid oppression and exploitation by mine owners, the recruitment of miners must be based on the principle of voluntariness.]
"Okay, then I won't dig anymore." Su Yanxi lay down again.
[Wait! Does the host want your enemies to help you mine? Are all the host's enemies nobles?]
"That's about right," Su Yanxi crossed his legs. "How do you say it?"
[That’s totally fine!]
Mining system: The treaty only says that civilians cannot be oppressed, but it doesn’t say that nobles cannot be oppressed!
[However, the host must first mine and redeem the mandatory execution card, and each mandatory mining has a time limit of one hour.]
"Okay, then I'll dig it out reluctantly!"
Su Yanxi raised a wicked smile, and things began to become interesting.
