"Alright. Then I wish you happiness?" Lu Huaijiao showed no intention of trying to persuade her to stay.
She couldn't even be bothered to do the bare minimum.
Feeling that she had underestimated Lu Huaijiao's laziness, 998 was feeling very upset, tired, and didn't want to talk. She also really wanted to crack open Lu Huaijiao's head to see what was inside.
'Isn't it a lazy system called 998?'
Lu Huaijiao's sweet voice echoed in my mind.
998 then realized that he had unknowingly spoken his innermost thoughts.
At once……
What a failure!
998 covered her mouth, making sure she didn't blurt out that her intelligence had been assimilated by Lu Huaijiao.
It grumbled under its breath for a while before calming down.
"Host, as long as you complete your work normally each day, this system will award you 5 points. How about that? That's a lot of points, isn't it? Aren't I generous?"
998 believes it is the best system in the world.
Lu Huaijiao hummed in response.
'How many points do I need to accumulate to go back to my past life?'
"Not much, just over ten thousand."
"What?"
Lu Huaijiao couldn't help but let out a soft gasp.
People working nearby looked up curiously at Lu Huaijiao when they heard the sound.
Lu Huaijiao turned away nonchalantly.
"Did you just hear someone talking? That's strange, I think I heard someone talking."
When it comes to tricks like blaming the victim, muddying the waters, refusing to admit wrongdoing, and calling a deer a horse, Lu Huaijiao is second to none.
As soon as she said that, the people who looked over really thought it wasn't Lu Huaijiao speaking.
They looked away and went back to their work.
Lu Huaijiao, however, continued walking forward without changing her expression.
A faint smile played on her lips, seemingly nonchalant, but in reality, she was already furious with the 998 points in her mind. There was no other reason than that the 998 points system was just too unfair.
She can only earn five points a day, and even if she works 300 days a year, that's only 1500 points. At 1500 points a year, that's 15,000 points in ten years, and over 100,000 points in total. Does that mean she'd have to work for decades to earn that much?
After working for decades and becoming an old woman with gray hair, would she go back to beat Lu Huaiyu then? Or would she go back to let him beat her?
Lu Huaijiao thought about it again and again and felt that this was not the right thing to do.
The points absolutely cannot be that many.
998 was already used to Lu Huaijiao's haggling, so it initially set the points threshold relatively high. The purpose was to give it room to maneuver when Lu Huaijiao tried to negotiate.
In the end, the two of them reduced their points from over 100,000 to 15,000.
In other words, if she works every day for ten years, she can go back and beat up Lu Huaiyu.
Ten years may seem like a long time, but when I think about how my child with Gu Changzheng will only be eight or nine years old in ten years, they will be old enough to understand things by then, even if I leave.
Thinking of this, she reluctantly nodded.
That's fine then.
After Lu Huaijiao finished speaking, she realized something was amiss and quickly added, "Don't you dare deduct my points randomly, or I won't do any work and will just lie around at home all day."
998: ...
As a system purely for assisting humans, and without any punishment, it really had no other way to deal with Lu Huaijiao, who was determined to give up.
So it had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
We are prepared to spend a long time influencing and changing Lu Huaijiao's extremely wrong thinking...
While each person was on their own system and a preliminary consensus was reached, Li Xiaoya, who had finally managed to salvage some of the opinions of her fellow educated youth in the dormitory, was working in the fields.
Today, the main task for the women in the brigade is to peel corn husks.
They need to peel off the bottom layer of dry leaves from the corn stalks. Then they need to clear away the weeds in the cornfield so that the sweet potato vines planted underneath have enough space to grow.
Planting sweet potatoes under corn is a way to make more efficient use of land.
In May, the sun is scorching, and the corn leaves are rough and hard. Even if you wear a hat and long sleeves, you can't help but get scratched on your cheeks by the tough leaves.
Li Xiaoya was the same.
Several small cuts were on my face, but they burned painfully. Especially when sweat dripped down and accidentally fell onto the wounds, the burning sensation made my eyes water.
Li Xiaoya had wiped away her sweat countless times, and her cheeks were so sore they were numb.
She looked up and wiped her sweat again, and unexpectedly saw Lu Huaijiao walking cleanly on the ridge of the field, wearing black pants, a floral shirt, and a hat.
When her gaze fell upon those clean little leather shoes, Li Xiaoya's anger, which had been building up for several days, finally erupted.
Fortunately, she knew that her main goal was to regain Lu Huaijiao's trust. Therefore, she couldn't get angry with Lu Huaijiao; instead, she had to treat her gently.
She needs to get that fool Lu Huaijiao to believe her again so she can have a good life.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoya suddenly cried out in pain and, who had been standing perfectly still, suddenly slumped down in the cornfield.
"Huaijiao... help me..."
When the affected, pretentious voice came through, Lu Huaijiao didn't recognize who it was at first.
She turned her head and saw Li Xiaoya, who had broken two bunches of corn. It seemed that she was sitting on a sweet potato vine.
Lu Huaijiao took out the notebook she had been carrying on her back and stood there, muttering to herself as she registered.
"Li Xiaoya, an educated youth, broke two bunches of corn and one bunch of sweet potato vines while working." (A bunch is a unit of quantity; in the case of corn, one bunch means two plants.)
Lu Huaijiao, the scorekeeper, was an expressionless scoring machine.
Li Xiaoya: ? ? ?
Li Xiaoya had considered all sorts of possible outcomes, but this was the one she had never thought of. She stared in disbelief at Lu Huaijiao, who stood on the edge of the field, looking down at her.
"Lu Huaijiao, didn't you see me fall?"
She was so shocked that she forgot to pretend.
Lu Huaijiao capped her pen, raised her eyelids slightly, and lazily glanced at Li Xiaoya: "Are you stupid? How could I say you broke the corn if I didn't see it?"
Lu Huaijiao felt that Li Xiaoya wasn't very smart.
It seems similar to 998.
998 chuckled and retorted expressionlessly. No, 998 isn't a physical entity, so "expressionless" doesn't quite fit.
All I can say is that its voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
'Host, don't forget, in your past life, it was this not-so-bright person who schemed against you his entire life.'
Lu Huaijiao: !!!
'A wise man doesn't dwell on his past foolishness, understand?'
998 is really not smart. Doesn't he know that you can't easily reopen old wounds?
998: ………
It admits defeat, Lu Huaijiao won, okay?
