Chapter 1370: Chapter 507: I Am the Evil Nanny (Part 9)_3

They were all post-2000 kids who’d been pampered growing up, each with their own personality and pride, so a few little conflicts in daily life were inevitable. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

But the roommates in Room 309, even if their temperaments were different, all had pretty decent character.

Unlike some other dorms where there’s always one or two Top-grade specimens who make the whole place a mess.

Whenever there was a conflict, the girls in 309 would always sit down and properly sort things out.

Apologize when they should, be understanding when they should.

So the overall atmosphere in the dorm had always been very harmonious.

He Tiantian: ...Your dorm also has a "Top-grade" in it, and she’s the biggest one in the entire girls’ dorm building on this campus!

Zhao Yan had no idea about her "real mother’s" snark, and even less that her life had long since been written and set up by an author-stepmother.

Hearing her roommates’ understanding jokes, she politely turned down Yan Yan’s kind offer to get her yogurt, shrank back onto her bed, and lay down again to try to fall asleep.

Very soon, the dorm quieted down.

Li Sangzi, who had taken off her face mask, and Fang Xiaohan, who had been listening to music, both tiptoed around tidying up, then carefully climbed into bed, getting ready to sleep.

The lights in the dorm went out, and in the darkness, the faint sound of the girls’ breathing began to fill the room.

But Zhao Yan couldn’t fall asleep, because that voice in her head sounded again, "Darling, this is the Sacrificial Lamb Revenge System. Once you bind with me, you can pull off a gorgeous Reverse and become the winner in life everyone envies!"

"System? You—you’re a System?"

Zhao Yan was sure now that the mysterious mechanical voice could only be heard by her.

And as for Systems and such, as a young girl who’d started reading web novels after entering university, Zhao Yan knew all about Time-traveling, Systems and the rest of those online tropes.

Sometimes, when she read web novels, Zhao Yan couldn’t help but daydream: If only I had that kind of Golden Finger!

Whether it was a System, or some Space, or a Superpower—any random cheat would be enough to change her straitened life and inferiority-ridden existence!

But daydreaming was always just daydreaming.

When the "dream" really turned into reality and the "Golden Finger" actually descended, Zhao Yan’s first feeling wasn’t joy, but fear!

Pies don’t just fall from the sky.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Even in all those System novels, sure, there are Systems that really do help people reach the pinnacle of life, but there are also bad Systems that casually erase people or use their Hosts to steal energy!

Zhao Yan didn’t dare assume that what she’d run into was a Golden Finger and not some evil power.

If it was the latter and she rashly agreed to bind, she wouldn’t even be able to control her own life. Wouldn’t that be a total tragedy?

She really did crave success and wanted to see the envy and jealousy on the faces of those around her.

But she wasn’t stupid; she didn’t want to be threatened by some "System" of unknown origin, and she definitely didn’t want to be erased while she was still so young!

"That’s right, I’m the Sacrificial Lamb Revenge System! Once you bind with me, you can achieve a life Reverse..."

The mechanical voice sounded like some lousy TV pitchman, blah-blah-blah-ing through a string of brainwashing ad copy that was equal parts ridiculous and embarrassing.

Zhao Yan was left a little speechless as she listened.

"...So, Zhao Yan, it’s time for you to make a choice! Do you confirm that you want to bind with this System?"

"Once you bind, you’ll get a Newbie Gift Package~ All the problems you’re facing right now, this System can help you solve them!"

"Money, housing, none of that will be a problem!"

The Sacrificial Lamb Revenge System didn’t sense any real interest from Zhao Yan and couldn’t help getting anxious, so it began tossing out bait.

"Newbie Gift Package?"

"That’s right! As long as you agree to bind with this System, you’ll receive a Newbie Gift Package! With the rewards from the Gift Package, you can obtain one Skill. With that Skill, you can make money..."

With money, the difficulties Zhao Yan was facing could all be easily solved.

Hearing the Sacrificial Lamb Revenge System’s pitch, Zhao Yan was indeed a little tempted.

But very quickly, her rational side took over again.

"System, if I agree to bind, you’re going to assign me tasks, right? Succeed and I get rewards; fail and I get punished?"

Things like electric shock, being struck by Thunder, and in serious cases, outright erasure!

Those were all standard plot points in certain System novels.

Zhao Yan didn’t believe she’d just happen to run into some "exceptional" System.

Sacrificial Lamb Revenge System: ...

After a moment of silence, it continued in its mechanical voice, "Darling, effort and reward are proportional."

Getting rewards only after completing tasks was the most natural thing in the world.

If a task failed, the System giving out a bit of Punishment was also perfectly reasonable.

After all, that’s the only way to make the Host work harder on the tasks.

"Then let me think about it!"

As expected. Hmph. Zhao Yan might long for success and be desperate to feed her inner vanity, but she wasn’t going to do something stupid.

Meanwhile, over at the hospital, He Tiantian was looking after Qiao Zhenbang as he received his IV drip, when a voice from deep in her sea of consciousness rang out from Student Xiao D—

"It’s here! Tiantian, that Wild System is here!"
