Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Did You Get My Consent?

Rather than causing such a commotion, it was better to not consider anyone from the younger generation and instead, have the younger brother who graduated from high school with her last year take over her coveted ʼiron rice bowlʼ job.

Kang Li did not want to contemplate right now whether her eldest brother and third brother, who both worked on the family farm, would object. She had made up her mind that when the opportunity arose, she would need to pull strings for both her eldest and third brotherʼs families to get in her good graces.

However, just as Kang Li turned to head back to her own bedroom, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out in her mind, and before she could react, she was bound by a ”Childcare Life” System in one fell swoop.

Yet, Kang Li merely frowned imperceptibly and did not show any other reaction.

At this moment, she stood in the center of her room, quietly looking at the white mosquito net hanging over the bed, then shifting her gaze to the tall-and-low cabinet beside it, staring blankly for a moment at items like the olive green metal thermos,

and an enamel jar printed with ”Study Hard, Improve Every Day” among other things.

These items were a mixture of old and new, but all had been specially provided for the original host by the family. The half-old items, such as the large tall-and-low cabinet, were even specially made by a local carpenter when the original host was seven or eight years old.

To speak frankly, the layout of this room and the memories left by the original host, as well as the caring looks from her family members Kang Li just encountered in the main hall, made her acutely aware that the family truly cherished the original host from the bottom of their hearts.

Even the sisters-in-law, who had married into the family, showed no hint of disdain in their eyes.

She was sweet-tongued and as beautiful as a Fairy Girl, breathtakingly and suffocatingly so. One could not help but take a liking to her at first sight and feel an urge to offer their best possessions to her.

Kang Li found nothing odd about this, after all, everyone appreciates beauty, and who could resist a pretty and sweet-talking girl who was comparable to a Fairy Girl?

But on the flip side, nothing is absolute. For instance, those with strong jealousy and compounded insecurities would certainly make remarks about the original hostʼs appearance and the familyʼs favoritism.

”Host, why arenʼt you paying any attention to me, quack?”

The mechanical voice in her mind transformed this moment into a soft and cute babyish tone, leaving no doubt that this was the System. It had thought that its sudden appearance would arouse the hostʼs curiosity or perhaps fear, but as it turned out, the host bound by it showed no reaction at all.

The System was baffled!

It was a newbie to the System, undertaking its first mission. If it couldnʼt complete the task successfully, not to mention getting confirmed for a permanent position, what awaited it was disassembly and recreation.

And a recreated System, would it still be itself?

The answer goes without saying, no!

Therefore, as soon as it arrived in this world and detected a potential host to bind with, it immediately acted without authorization. Meanwhile, following the advice of some senior from the Unified Realm, it set its voice to mimic a cold and dominating CEO to intimidate the host. The intention was to command the host to diligently complete the mission. Yet the hostʼs response told it that the well-meaning senior from the Unified Realm... might not be so reliable after all!

There was no other choice; it reverted to its original voice—a soft and sweet babyish tone.

It hoped the host was someone who adored cute things. No, no, that might be asking too much. It should lower its expectations and simply hope the host wasnʼt someone who disliked children.

”Arenʼt you being too reckless? To put it unpleasantly, youʼre a nuisance; to say it kindly, youʼre foolish. Which one do you think you are?”

Her facial expression remained unchanged as Kang Li lay on her side on the bed with her back to the door, her beautiful fox-like eyes slightly closed.

System: ”Ah? Host, why are you calling me a nuisance, why do you say Iʼm foolish, quack?”

Kang Li indifferently responded, ”Did you get my consent?”

”...Sorry... Host, Iʼm sorry...” the System sounded aggrieved. ”Iʼm just a new little System, on my first mission, and because I was too nervous, I... I forgot to ask for your consent.”

Kang Li didnʼt respond.

”Host, can you forgive me just this once, quack? Let me tell you, as long as you complete each task given by the System, you can get happiness points and rewards, and the tasks for the host are very simple,”

Once the host completes them, not only can the happiness points prolong your life, but they can also be exchanged for Points at a ratio of 1:10, which you can use to shop in the System Mall...

Oh yes, the hostʼs rewards are always very, very generous! The System isnʼt lying to the host, cooperating with the System is absolutely, positively, the most correct choice for the host. Please say something, would you, quack?”

Kang Li remained as impassive as an old monk, still without response.

Assigning her tasks?

Ha! Has she not always been the one controlling others, right?!

It seems this darn System has the audacity to reach for the skies?

”Host, after the Systemʼs diagnosis, it appears your body suffers from congenital deficiencies, and if you donʼt care for it, you wonʼt live long...”

But if the host completes tasks properly, you could use Points to purchase body strengthening pills or gene repair liquid for consumption, thereby extending your lifespan!

Host, with 100,000 Points you can buy a body strengthening pill or a vial of gene repair liquid.”

The System felt like crying, but afraid that its host would despise a ”whiner,” it forcibly held back from making any ”whining” sounds, continuing its persuasion:

”Host, the System is a ʼChild-Rearing Lifeʼ System, and the tasks are so simple, like guiding little children to become pillars of the nation who embody the five stresses and four points of beauty,

and host, you could also pull weeds, clean windows, sweep the floor, cook meals, wash clothes, and other such simple chores. Teach the little children, receive happiness points, do household chores, and the host can get Points...”

”Noisy.”

In this life, all she wants is to be a lazy fish; have they got that clear?

”Host, if you adopt an uncooperative attitude, the System... the System will punish you, quack!”

The System threatened with its little childish voice, not realizing that to Kang Li, this was as amusing as it was amusing. However, in her past life, Kang Li had been a notable figure, naturally capable of keeping her composure.

”Whatever.”

Kang Li responded nonchalantly.

It was a life picked up for free to begin with; punish her as you will, if it truly sends her to the Western Heaven, she wouldnʼt mind.

”Host, electric shocks are very painful, quack, the System doesnʼt want you to suffer... wuwu... the System is a rookie, if it canʼt complete this mission, it will be destroyed, quack~”

Kang Li felt a tiny bit of sympathy; thinking that although she just wanted to be a lazy fish in this life, being a lazy fish didnʼt mean being a stinky one.

In that case, she undoubtedly had to manage daily life well, creating a comfortable and pleasant living environment for herself.

For example, a ”lazy fish” needs to eat, wear clothes, have clean and sanitary living conditions, and have a living environment with flowers and green plants...

In short, she wanted to be an indulged lazy fish, not a slovenly one.

Moreover, there indeed were many children in her family, and besides, once she went to North City, three little brats would be waiting for her to take care of them in the long term. Based on this, being bound by the ”Child-Rearing Life” System wasnʼt really an issue.

”Less noise, stay put quiet. Count those happiness points yourself, I will call on you if needed.”
