Chapter 57
The Best System in the World (2)
The little girl said Happy New Year, uncle and Happy New Year, auntie with her milky voice and made many red envelopes along the way.
They were all neighbors in the village, the red envelopes were just a symbol of luck and didn’t contain much money, but Xiaoman was very happy.
This was the most significant source of her pocket money.
Their parents would take the other children’s New Year money under various excuses, but Grandma and Uncle would not do this. They let Jiang Xiaoman keep all the money herself.
After collecting the money, Jiang Xiaoman went home happily.
As usual, Jiang Xiaoman dug out the iron box where she hid money and put the New Year money in it. After some thought, she took out a red envelope and put fifty cents in it.
“Here you are.” Jiang Xiaoman said to the system.
System: ???
“This New Year money is for you.” Jiang Xiaoman just remembered that she had received so many red envelopes, but the system didn’t get any. It was so pitiful.
It had only one friend who was herself and no relatives. It must have been very lonely to be alone. Therefore, she generously decided to treat it better.
The system was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
In the past six months, its host had become more and more difficult to deceive. In the past, it could fool her to earn points, but now she was always picky about her tasks, doing some and not doing the others. As a result, half a year had passed, and the debt was still at -800, making the system very upset?
Her IQ had improved, but there was one area where there was no improvement at all. She always felt that the system was a real person. No matter what she ate or what she had, she always liked to share them with it.
When she ate, she showed it what she ate, and when she had something to use, she also told it what she used.
The system was not happy and even felt a little sad. It thought that it had stayed with this host for too long, and its IQ is about to become like a child’s too.
What was so sad about this? What would make it sad?
The system is the system. It did not have a body, did not need food, and it did not need friends.
“The system is—”
“You don’t need money.” Jiang Xiaoman said with a smile. “But Grandma said, New Year money is a symbol of luck; it would bring you good luck.”
“Is there nothing Brother System wants to do but can’t do?” Jiang Xiaoman asked.
The system thought seriously about it for a while. “Yes.”
“What is it?” Jiang Xiaoman was curious.
The system seemed to be omnipotent and omniscient. She didn’t expect it to have things that it wanted to do but could not do.
The system said, “Sometimes, I want to hit you.” But it couldn’t.
“…” Jiang Xiaoman’s small face drooped immediately, and sadness was written on it.
Seeing its little host’s sad face, the system regretted what it said.
But it was a system that could not comfort people, so it could only stay silent awkwardly.
At this time, Jiang Xiaoman did something unexpected.
She stretched out her small hand and slapped her face gently, then squeezed her mouth and asked the system. “Is this all right?”
The system was shocked.
It felt that its AI chip was going to get bugged!
What kind of logic was this!!
What kind of little angel was this!!
Was this a human child!!
Jiang Xiaoman thought it was still not satisfied, so she slapped her cheeks lightly and cried.
“Are you a little happier?”
The system didn’t know what to say. It was too complicated, and it didn’t know how to express it, so it could only stay silent. At this time, a sound rang in Jiang Xiaoman’s mind that resembled when a task appeared.
[End of Year bonus. The system has given you a red envelope for New Year’s money. Please check them out.]
[100 points have been added to the account. Balance: 100]
Jiang Xiaoman was taken aback, her tears rolled inside her eyes, and she stopped crying.
What did she just hear?
