Su Yin woke up in a bed. Before her eyes was a deathly white ceiling. She rubbed her aching head and began to sort through the memories of the original host.
This was an interstellar world, one that had suffered greatly under the threat of the Chongzu. It hadn’t been long since the great war ended, and both the human race and the Chongzu were currently in a period of recovery. Through mutations, humans had gained animalistic traits and were categorized into Level 1 to Level 5 Nenglizhe. Level 1 had the lowest combat power, while Level 5 was the strongest.
The original host was the weakest kind of Level 1 Nenglizhe; her Benming was a frail rabbit.
The original host was also named Su Yin. Her mother had passed away when she was very young, and her father, Su Yongyuan, married his current wife, the stepmother Wang Zhiying. They had a son, Su Liang, who was one year younger than Su Yin.
In a situation worse than Cinderella’s, Su Yin’s family didn’t treat her like a human being at all. She was forced to do all the housework alone, yet she wasn’t always allowed a single bite of the meals she cooked. Being ordered around was the least of it; if the family was unhappy, she would suffer a brutal beating.
Furthermore, the original host’s fiancé was a distant relative of her stepmother’s family. He saw her only as a slave. In the beginning, he used sweet words to coax her into working like an ox or a horse for him, but after a few years, he showed his true colors and began to get violent. The original host was eventually beaten to death by this so-called fiancé in a fit of rage. She was pregnant at the time—two lives lost in one body.
Because they were relatives, her scumbag father and stepmother even helped cover up the evidence. Su Yin died in silence, without causing even a ripple of suspicion.
It was only after her death that she felt the injustice and posted the mission.
[System, what are the original host’s wishes?] Su Yin asked.
[The original host’s scumbag father cheated on her mother with the stepmother. He even planned the mother’s death to claim her inheritance and the insurance payout. The original host’s wish is to expose his crimes, leave this home, attend university, and get rid of her fiancé, Lv Feibai.]
Su Yin nodded. [How tragic. A scumbag father kills the biological mother, marries a wicked stepmother, and then marries the daughter off to another piece of trash. But simply exposing the scumbag father and getting rid of that garbage fiancé… isn’t that a bit too easy on them?]
[Then… what does Master mean?] the system asked cautiously.
Su Yin didn’t speak. Her sudden silence made the system a bit anxious.
[Master… please don’t be impulsive. Our mission is to fulfill the specific character’s wishes, eliminate their negative emotions, and obtain positive energy and Gongdezhi. If we do extra things that end up causing more harm than good, it won’t be ideal.]
“Heh.” Su Yin curled her lips in an ambiguous smirk, though the smile didn’t reach her eyes. She stood up and walked to the full-length mirror. The mirror reflected a face that still retained a touch of childishness, with delicate and frail features. The stiff smile she had just forced looked slightly out of place.
[Tsk tsk, this little body looks like it would collapse with a single push!] Su Yin mocked herself.
[Indeed. The original host was a Level 1 Nenglizhe, and a poor little thing who never had enough to eat or wear.]
Su Yin lifted her shirt and sleeves. This body was so thin that calling her a “bean sprout” would be a compliment. Her skin was covered in blue and purple bruises. After staring at them for a moment, Su Yin’s head began to spin.
Even in an era of famine, a child wouldn’t be starved like this!
Especially when this family wasn’t short on money at all! Were they even human?
No, she had to find a way to leave this place first. The original host was too cowardly and accustomed to enduring, but Su Yin had no intention of being patient.
[System, is there anything that can make me a bit stronger?]
System: [You should eat more.]
Su Yin’s gaze turned cold. [……… I remember you’re called a ‘Little Assistant’, right?]
[No… it’s just that at the start, my points are at zero, so there’s nothing I can do!]
Su Yin was about to curse…
System: [But! I am the most advanced system; I can control the network! In this world of advanced technology, the network is very useful!]
Su Yin rubbed her chin thoughtfully.
She then tried to transform her state. This transformation gave even her a shock.
Long ears, a short tail, soft and snow-white fur—the rabbit ears would stand up or flop down following Su Yin’s movements. Most importantly, it was incredibly “rua-able”! The soft texture made Su Yin stroke herself with increasing enthusiasm.
The system couldn’t help but complain: [Master, do you know that you look a bit like a pervert stroking yourself right now?]
[If you don’t speak, nobody will think you’re a mute!]
Su Yin tested her strength and jumping ability. After transforming, her body was indeed much more agile, and she had a certain level of jumping power.
Looking at the pale, weak face in the mirror, Su Yin sighed inwardly: Although I don’t like your personality, I understand that it was largely influenced by your family. But it’s okay. I will fulfill your wishes for you and live a good life.
Right then, the original host’s “cheap” younger brother returned. His roar could be heard from far away: “Su Yin! Where’s my lunch?!”
Before long, a violent pounding sounded on her bedroom door.
“Su Yin?”
“Su Yin!”
“Did you fucking die in there?”
Su Yin was almost amused by this shameless brother. She opened the door to see a youth with a sinister expression. His face looked sickly and bloated; because of his long-term habit of staying up late, fooling around, and having a reversed sleep schedule, he had heavy dark circles under his eyes.
Su Yin smiled gently. “What’s wrong? Are you hungry?”
“Cut the crap! Get your ass in there and cook! You’re so lazy; I think you’re itching for a beating, aren’t you?!”
“Alright, I’ll go right now. It’ll be ready in a moment.”
Su Yin was all smiles and her attitude was submissive, but the mirth never reached her eyes.
However, Su Liang, who never once regarded this cheap older sister with any respect, wouldn’t notice a thing.
Su Yin began to cook in the manner the original host usually did.
It wasn’t that this family couldn’t afford a robot butler, but with the original host there—someone who could do everything well and was completely submissive—they felt there was no need to waste the money.
Green vegetables…
No need to wash those. It was all about the “original flavor.” A little dirt never hurt anyone. While she was at it, she added some “extra seasoning” to the food to make sure Su Liang didn’t find his meal boring.
The system’s face would have turned green if it had a face.
[What are you adding? You aren’t trying to poison him to death directly, are you?]
[How could that be?] Su Yin raised an eyebrow innocently. [A person like Su Liang will play himself to death sooner or later. There’s no need for me to do it personally.]
Su Yin didn’t explain further. She finished preparing the meal quickly and brought it to her cheap brother, guaranteeing he would be vomiting and having diarrhea later that day without knowing the cause.
The younger brother’s room was completely different from Su Yin’s.
Su Yin’s room was a converted storage closet. The bed was a sofa bed, and the desk was an antique that Su Liang had discarded long ago. There was nothing else in there.
The brother’s room was five times larger than Su Yin’s. It was a bright bedroom with a luxurious large bed, an oversized desk, the latest computer model, and was filled to the brim with clothes, toys, and models.
With such a massive disparity, it was a wonder how the original host had managed to trick herself into believing they were one family.
After returning to her room, Su Yin downloaded a game and started a livestream.
She had the system operate the game character while she pretended to be the one playing.
In her current state, Su Yin felt dizzy just sitting down; she didn’t have the energy to play games. But the system was different. With its powerful computing power and absolute reaction speed, playing a game was effortless.
With a pale, weak face combined with ruthless, precise marksmanship, Su Yin’s livestream room soon attracted a following.
Two nights later, Su Yin prepared dinner as usual.
Su Yongyuan (the scumbag father) suddenly threw down his chopsticks and cursed, “Why are there sesame seeds? You brat, don’t you know I hate sesame seeds the most? You’re looking for trouble because you don’t like me, aren’t you?”
Su Yin knew he didn’t actually hate sesame seeds. Work just hadn’t been going well, and he wanted an excuse to vent his frustrations on her.
She was prepared. Over the past few days, she had been trying to train her body to ensure she could protect herself.
So, the moment she saw Su Yongyuan preparing to strike, Su Yin had already dodged to the side.
Missing the blow, Su Yongyuan froze for a moment, then flew into a rage! Beside him, Wang Zhiying and Su Liang watched the show with glee.
Su Yin immediately turned around, walked back to her room, and locked the door in one fluid motion.
Su Yongyuan chased after her and hammered on the door, telling her to get out, but Su Yin ignored him.
Su Yongyuan gave the door a few hard kicks. After thinking it over, he restrained himself from breaking the door and stomped away in a huff.
