Chapter 111

Artificial Idiocy (1)

Jiang Xiumei was very fierce. Even though Xiaoman already promised the system to steal the jade pendant, she didnt dare act unbridled.

She dragged things out for days without showing any movement, making the system anxious.

Jiang Xiaoman took the initiative to do side missions, making little children cry and dominating the kindergarten for a while, earning 20 points. Even so, it wouldnt make the system happy.

The system said, Host, if you dont get the jade pendant back, Ill die in front of you!

What good was making little kids cry? How could the jade pendant be compared to making some children cry?

Host, youre getting more intelligent and disobedient. Do you think this system cant see through your act?

The children of humanity were terrible existences.

Jiang Xiaoman said quietly, Brother System, you were never like this before.

All he talked about was life and death now. How scary.

Do you think Im making trouble on purpose? I havent cried, I havent made a fuss, and I havent hung myself yet, the system cried out.

What does making trouble on purpose mean?

The system became frustrated and sighed, Host, youre so rebellious and disobedient now. I cant control you anymore. Remember, if you cant get the jade pendant back, our friendship will end here.

Why?

Why, why, why? Do you think were playing One Hundred Thousand Whys1?!

The system gritted its teeth, Because never again will there be a system as stupid and nave as I am, bugged and bound to a little brat. Never! I am the shame of the system world! I deserve this!

Jiang Xiaoman immediately comforted it. How could that be? Brother System is amazing. Didnt you say that youre better than artificial intelligence, the crystallization of the power of science, the master of fate, an existence sought after by everyone? You said this before.

No, I am an artificial idiocy2.

Jiang Xiaoman did not dare to say anything else.

Even though she still didnt fully understand why the system acted like this, she understood that Brother System had collapsed.

In order not to lose her system friend, she decided to act as soon as possible.

The system directed her to wait until Jiang Xiumei left the house on an errand.

They did not know where Xiumei hid the jade pendant but generally speaking, the more valuable the thing is, the better it would be hidden.

Jiang Xiaoman started from Jiang Xiumeis bedroom.

In the last two nights, Xiaoman, who had already gotten used to sleeping alone, came to sleep with Jiang Xiumei to find the jade pendant. Xiaoman said that she missed Grandma and wanted to snuggle with her, making Jiang Xiumei very happy.

After secretly procuring the key to the closet, she opened it and rummaged inside. Jiang Xiaoman searched for a long time but did not manage to find anything.

Jiang Xiaoman was too tired to cry.

It was easy to turn things upside down, but it was difficult to put them back in place. She tidied them back with much effort and tiredly sat on the floor panting afterward.

Host, look again. Theres not a safe here, so it shouldnt be too hard to find, the system said.

Jiang Xiaoman cried and said, Okay.

Xiaoman had searched too hard just now, so Grandma would definitely be able to tell. She would get a beating whether she found the jade pendant or not.

Jiang Xiaoman felt like crying when she thought of the beating to come.

But she had already promised the system, so she had to do it.

Since she was going to be beaten anyway, she didnt need to hold back anymore.

Basing it on her habit when hiding things, she took a small shovel and went to dig holes in the yard. This was how she hid things back in the village: digging a hole and putting an iron box inside. This was a trick that Grandma taught her.

Since she couldnt find it anywhere in the house, maybe Grandma dug a hole to hide it.

She dug holes until she was half dead tired, but it was all in vain. Jiang Xiaoman didnt want to move anymore.

She was really, really, really tired.

However, things did not just end there.
