【Points received, current balance: -920】
Jiang Xiaoman blinked and stared at the little boy in front of her.
What did the system want him for?
Jiang Xiaoman was curious about this little friend. She asked the system and it only told her that he would become a big villain just like her and an even bigger villain at that.
So that was it, she understood now.
She was instantly filled with a good impression of the little boy.
It turned out that he was also destined to be an extraordinary person. What the system said was not wrong. People like them were like dragons and phoenixes among men, they would surely be drawn into and eventually meet each other!
But it felt a little bit strange – why was he just staying there so quietly?
Was he not afraid at all?
Why didn’t he say anything, did he not see her?
Jiang Xiaoman timidly asked, “Hello, little friend.”
The little friend ignored her.
He was sitting on the stairs, playing with a block of wood with his head down. He was concentrating with a serious expression, even when Xiaoman looked at him boldly and enthusiastically, he did not raise his head to look at her.
The emergency exit hall was very quiet and secluded. The door wasn’t closed shut and blocked most of the light. Only the safety indicator lamp was emitting a faint green light.
She felt a little bit scared and moved her neck around, feeling a bit chilly.
At this time, the system issued her another task.
【Task: Take away his Luban[1] wood. Make him cry.
Reward: 10 points]
Jiang Xiaoman stood still.
She didn’t hate the little boy, so why would she snatch his things and make him cry?
The system said, “Host, we don’t need a reason to do bad things.”
Jiang Xiaoman reluctantly approached him.
She also sat on the stairs, wanting to have a peaceful conversation with him, but the little boy unexpectedly moved away to the side as soon as she sat down.
Jiang Xiaoman moved closer again, he moved away again. One kept moving closer and the other kept moving away until she eventually forced him to the corner.
The little boy finally looked up and glanced at her. He did not say anything and continued ignoring her, simply turning around silently and embedding himself at the corner, his back facing Jiang Xiaoman.
Jiang Xiaoman, “……”
Jiang Xiaoman was very cute, every time she met someone, they would always praise her. This was the first time she experienced what it felt to be hated and ostracized.
Her first suddenly tightened, but she was a good girl and won’t beat people up.
She endured her grievance and took out her two remaining candies, planning to deal with him the same way she dealt with Zhou Haiyang before.
After all, no child could resist the temptation of candies.
The system reminded her, “Host, you can run away after grabbing his stuff.”
Her eyes twitched and she dispelled the idea, feeling a little bit afraid.
It was so dark there and she was a bit scared. She didn’t know the way around here yet. She might not even be able to beat the opponent, nor could she outrun him…
“Little friend, do you want to eat candies?” She wanted to snatch his stuff and make him cry, so she generously offered two candies. “I’ll give you some candies, and you’ll help me with something, how about it?”
The little boy ignored her.
Jiang Xiaoman felt very wronged and her mouth quickly flattened, but she was a tough child and would not admit defeat so easily.
The system looked on coldly.
The host managed to complete the task every time, but her methods always made things hard for it. It could not help but feel a little irritated seeing that she wouldn’t listen to its advice.
