Little One Tears the Villain’s Script-Chapter 318

2 in 1* (5)

Jiang Xiaoman had already guessed it, so she didn’t get flustered.

She asked, “What happened?”

“When you fainted, the electric currents and magnetic field of my chip went chaotic. When I recovered, I found that the numbers on your status screen had changed.” The system didn’t notice anything wrong at first. Although its host fainted for a few seconds, her body functions were normal, and all her organs were functioning normally. There didn’t seem to be any problem.

Later on, it took a look at its host’s status screen and found a clue.

The status screen was a panel that quantified its host’s physical condition. Aside from her vital signs, it also tracked internal values

such as IQ and EQ.

Originally, the number on its host’s knowledge column was 85, but it was now 80, a decrease of 5 points.

This was a very strange thing.

Generally speaking, as long as one kept learning new material, the number would not decrease. It would generally increase along with age. Although, there were also people who were very smart at the beginning, but wasted their good IQ by not thinking about progress.

But its host was still in high school, gradually reaching the peak on her life knowledge reserves. It was impossible for this number to decrease. Even if it took a thousand steps back, its host was not Fang Zhongyong1, so how could such an outrageous thing happen?

The system analyzed the situation and came to a conclusion.

“Host, a system attacked you.” The system muttered, “This system is a bit scarier than we thought. I’m reminded of some bad things. We may have encountered the legendary big system.”

“What’s a big system?”

“A host needs to complete the tasks issued by the system to obtain points, then use the points to trade with the system. However, systems are not omnipotent. Each system can only perform their own duties, and can only trade out the corresponding skills. But this big system can exchange stuff without points.”

“??!!” Jiang Xiaoman’s eyes widened, and she was suddenly filled with the motivation to upgrade. “System, if I upgrade you to the limit, will I not need points to ask you for something in the future?”

Was this the beauty of a big system?

“…that’s not the point.” The system wanted to cry but no tears would come out. “I’ve only heard about this kind of big system in legends. It doesn’t require its host to exchange points for items, but directly uses equivalent exchange—exchange health for health, wealth for wealth, and knowledge for knowledge.”

But objects cannot be created out of nothing, and systems must also obey the law of conservation of mass.

Since the system wanted to give its host an “ability”, it had to take the “ability” from someone else, then attach it to its host.

It was a simple and crude addition system. However, the added thing didn’t just come out of nowhere; it’s just transferred from one person to another.

The system said, “To put it simply, just now a system stole your knowledge and transferred it to its host.”

“That’s terrifying…”

The system was very frustrated, and its voice carried a rare, sincere cry. “I’m sorry Host, I can’t find a way to deal with it.”

Jiang Xiaoman pondered for a while, and was too embarrassed to say that she had never intended to have the system help her fight.

“She stole my knowledge, not my IQ. Knowledge can be acquired through learning. In other words, I can still make up for the lost ‘knowledge’ with my own efforts, right?”

Host, you are so calm!

“That’s right,” said the system.

Jiang Xiaoman was relieved for the time being.

It was not a big problem, at most she just had to study more.

She quickly exchanged for a Revocation Card from the system and used it on herself. After thinking about it, she turned to look at Yu Qingshi and also used one on him.

“!!!” Host was amazing!! Why didn’t it think of this trick!?

“Host, will this work?” The system was still trembling. It was extremely scared; it was just a rookie system, could it really fight back against this legendary big system?

Jiang Xiaoman said with great satisfaction, “Don’t forget about my grandfather’s illness; isn’t he still fine until now?”

Two months had passed since they discovered the abnormality, but ever since Jiang Xiaoman used the Revocation Card on Old Master Wen, the countdown on the panel had permanently stayed at 58 days and had not decreased.

“Exchange health for health, exchange knowledge for knowledge, this system is really interesting.” Jiang Xiaoman touched her chin and pondered, “Liang Siyu exchanged my knowledge for knowledge to pass this exam, then she exchanged grandpa’s health for health… No, it’s not just health. Grandpa’s lifespan was shortened by 13 years. It’s lifespan for lifespan.”

“Hey…” Jiang Xiaoman suddenly had a terrifying guess, “Could it be that Liang Siyu is treating something? Or is she already terminally ill, or even dead?”

“…! Host! We’re not psychics, stay awake!”

“Ah.” Jiang Xiaoman recovered from the dazed state. She understood the whole story now and calmed down.

“If I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet2?”

“What are you going to do, host? Are we not going to make a move if the enemy doesn’t?”

“No, let’s do her in!”

“Can, can we? Can we beat them?”

Jiang Xiaoman comforted, “Don’t worry, System. You are still great, I still like you very much.”

At this time, the system had nothing to say except wuu wuu wuu. It even came up with a terrifying thought – what main quest, what System Code of Honor, what System Ethics, screw them all!

It only needed its host.

Its host was really the best host in the world! Even now, she wouldn’t give up on it!

Jiang Xiaoman packed up her school bag and stationeries, called Yu Qingshi and went home together.
