Chapter 17 Adorable Bamboo Rats



After hearing that mechanical sound for several days in a row, Xu Qingqing fixed her gaze on Lin Meijiao.

So she destroyed the original cheat ability, and now she has another one.

It's still about swapping space for the system.

Xu Qingqing didn't know how she felt, but as the primary target, she really wanted to kill that system.

If Lin Meijiao wants to step on her to become a winner in life, it depends on whether Lin Meijiao agrees.

The system shuddered, and the code became a bit messed up.

Lin Meijiao sensed it and frowned: "System, did something go wrong just now?"

She knew that whether she could change her life depended entirely on the system. She could sign in every day and receive something, such as food or skincare products. And she had been eyeing the items in the month-long lottery pool for a long time.

Food accounts for 60%, other categories account for 35%, and the golden beauty potion accounts for only 5%.

She had been longing for this beauty potion. Her face, inherited from her father, could only be described as pretty, and she had never been satisfied with it.

If she gets the beauty potion, she'll definitely be even prettier than Xu Qingqing.

"The system is fine, host, don't worry."

Lin Meijiao was relieved to hear that the system was alright.

Xu Qingqing secretly lamented, "Why is nothing wrong?"

If it explodes, it'll save me the trouble of figuring out what to do. Of course, it would be best if Lin Meijiao could be blown into an idiot.

well.

Xu Qingqing realized she was overthinking things. If it were that easy to kill the female lead, she would have done it already.

She had considered killing Lin Meijiao with a single blow before, but when she tried to do it, she clearly felt a force stopping her.

She tried many times, but never succeeded.

This infuriated her. How could someone as brain-dead as Lin Meijiao be the female lead? Heaven must be blind! And that damned author too.

Xu Qingqing grew angrier the more she thought about it, so she decided to ignore it and focus on her work.

The system felt that the gaze fixed on it had stopped and let out a long sigh of relief.

It's terrifying, like eating yourself.

Bo Jingran took Xu Qingqing's hand as they left work and went home together.

Passing by that bamboo forest, Xu Qingqing thought of sour bamboo shoots and pulled Bo Jingran there.

Many bamboo shoots were emerging from the bamboo forest, some of them even fully grown.

Xu Qingqing let go of Bo Jingran's hand, her eyes full of joy, but it was a pity there was no cured meat.

Bo Jingran looked at his empty hands, his eyes filled with an unreadable emotion. Nothing but Xu Qingqing could affect him.

Seeing him standing there like an idiot without digging bamboo shoots, Xu Qingqing glared at him with her foxy eyes and said unhappily, "Bo Jingran, are you just standing there looking cool? Hurry up and come help me."

"good"

Bo Jingran's mood instantly improved, and he dug bamboo shoots with Xu Qingqing.

The two of them dug up a whole basketful and peeled the bamboo shoots. Xu Qingqing, with her sharp eyes, spotted a dark shape moving in the distance and immediately chased after it.

Bo Jingran was caught off guard and watched helplessly as Xu Qingqing ran away as fast as a rabbit.

Startled, the creature quickly climbed to the highest point, and Xu Qingqing recognized it as a bamboo rat, which delighted her.

She gripped it little by little and pried it down. The thing was too scared to move. She carefully approached it, and just as it was about to hit the ground, she pounced on it and pinned it down with her whole body.

Xu Qingqing carried the plump bamboo rat back to the starting point and asked Bo Jingran for credit.

"Bo Jingran, look what this is! It's a bamboo rat! Will you cook it for me tonight?"

Bo Jingran's pupils dilated. He didn't hear what she said at all. Looking at the big rat in Xu Qingqing's hand, he froze and dared not move. As Xu Qingqing got closer and closer, his tension gradually increased.

He said in a trembling voice, "Xu Qingqing, you...you take this...this rat away."

Xu Qingqing couldn't believe it. Bo Jingran was actually afraid of this bamboo rat. What would happen to her meat?

"This is a bamboo rat. Although it looks like a rat, it eats bamboo," Xu Qingqing explained to him as clearly as possible.

There must be many more of these things. If Bo Jingran can't overcome this, it's a mystery whether he'll still be able to eat meat in the future.

Bo Jingran looked away and waved his hand at her: "I can't, I can't stand this rat."

When he was little, his younger brother used to scare him with mice, and he has been traumatized ever since. He can't stand seeing mice.

He knew Xu Qingqing wanted to eat meat, but he couldn't control his fear of it, so he could only apologize to her.

Xu Qingqing looked dejectedly at the bamboo rat in her hand. Without Bo Jingran's skills, her own mediocre cooking skills were just wasting the meat.

She was so conflicted that she scratched her hair a few times in frustration.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Qingqing ran to a distance, picked up a stone and smashed it against the bamboo rat's head. Then she found a sharp stone and began to skin and gut the rat.

Bo Jingran was stunned by the series of swift and decisive actions.

After Xu Qingqing finished dealing with the bamboo rat, she noticed Bo Jingran staring at her intently from the side and couldn't help but frown: "Bo Jingran, why are you so close to me?"

Why would someone who's so afraid get close to her? Is he crazy?

Bo Jingran stammered, unsure of what to say, and fearing that Xu Qingqing would be angry, he became quite depressed.

Can he say that Xu Qingqing's methods were cruel? Obviously not.

Forget it, Xu Qingqing didn't want to argue with him here, and she didn't want to waste her time here.

Following the system's instructions, Lin Meijiao arrived at the edge of the bamboo forest. She noticed the awkward atmosphere between the two, her eyes darting around, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curving upwards.

"Oh my, Qingqing, what is this..." Lin Meijiao exclaimed in surprise, but her words trailed off after she saw the bloody object in Xu Qingqing's hand.

This time, Xu Qingqing can't escape.

"Qingqing, you're undermining the country's foundation. I advise you to turn yourself in. I'm doing this for your own good."

Lin Meijiao showed a worried expression on her face, but inside she was overjoyed.

Seeing Lin Meijiao suddenly appear, the two were shocked, exchanging a glance that left them speechless.

Xu Qingqing's face instantly turned cold, and she retorted, "Don't act like you're doing this for my own good. I find it disgusting. If you want to report it, go ahead, but don't play the big shot here. There's no one else here."

She hoped Lin Meijiao could be a little tougher, because the people in the brigade would come every few days to catch bamboo rats to satisfy their cravings. This was partly to prevent the bamboo rats from over-breeding, and partly because it was considered a meat dish, and it was free.

If she reports it, she will face hostility from everyone and won't be able to stay in Daba Village any longer.

Lin Meijiao was clearly thinking clearly. Her eyes were red as she looked at Bo Jingran: "Bo, my sister made a mistake. You should stop her instead of letting her continue to make mistakes."

Lin Meijiao stared intently at Bo Jingran, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes. This was the first time she had seen his full appearance; he seemed like an unapproachable god. At this moment, she felt a deep envy towards Xu Qingqing.

Bo Jingran felt disgusted by Lin Meijiao's gaze and snorted coldly, "If you look at me with such disgusting eyes again, do you not want your eyes anymore?!"
