Inner Thoughts Exposed: Reborn General's Farming Daughter Has a System
Chapter 34: A Small Upgrade
[Curious, aren’t we?] The System even still had the time to tease Xiao Qingya at a time like this.
It knew that she couldn’t stand it the most.
Inwardly, Xiao Qingya was gritting her teeth, wishing the System had a materialized form so she could shake it around fiercely.
[Don’t play around!] Xiao Qingya scolded.
Zhou Anran, who heard the System’s small conversation with her baby daughter, was trying to hold back her laughter, trying not to show how she noticed that her daughter was huffing and puffing, her cheeks as round as steamed buns.
[Host, be patient...]
After it made a dramatic exhaling sound, the System explained.
[The points are real, Host. Even though I don’t know where it has come from, it’s really your reward.]
Xiao Qingya was delighted when she heard that. Her flushed face was now filled with smiles. There were so many points, but...
[System, are you sure it’s safe to use the points? I don’t want to risk it. What if it’s actually some kind of loan with a high interest rate?]
System:...
It was speechless with its host’s thought process.
[Little Ya, we are not loan sharks...]
Zhou Anran blinked slightly when she heard this term. It sounded somewhat familiar for her, yet she couldn’t recall where she had heard it from.
Before she could think further, she was drawn to her daughter and the System’s next conversation.
[Alright, alright. I will believe you.] Xiao Qingya was finally a little relieved. [What is the other good news?]
The System told her excitedly. [Haven’t you checked the system’s shop, Little Ya? You will see a lot of new items you can finally buy!]
The little one was taken aback before she hurriedly opened the system’s shop to take a look. She hadn’t even thought of this.
Her first priority was the System’s return. Because... even if she had the points, she could not use it. She would be uneasy before the System confirmed its authenticity.
[Woah, the items for farming are unlocked now?] 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
She browsed the items at the shop. Each of them would be very useful for their field. There were things that already existed in this era or even the advanced technological era of the modern times.
The remaining items which had ridiculously high prices were even more surprising for someone who had lived in a modern era like her. It was quite unscientific, after all.
Some items could transform the crops into a better one or something else entirely with very useful special effects, like alleviating illnesses.
Unfortunately, its high price wasn’t something she could buy right now. Even her current points made it seem like it was only a drop in the ocean. As such, she also calmed down from the initial excitement.
[Little Ya. I have a guess about where the points have come from. Do you want to hear it?]
The little one stopped looking through the items at the shop and urged the System to continue. Anyway, it was still the night time and she could browse it again later.
[It should be from the suffering you have gone through because you have been kidnapped.]
Xiao Qingya was puzzled, and soon, it turned into indignation.
[What do you mean I got points by suffering? Shouldn’t I also get points from dying in these worlds then?]
The System briefly fell into silence before it continued, trying its best to make its explanation.
[In the previous worlds, even though you are suffering and even died because of it, the way the plot unfolded was exactly the way it was preordained.]
[However, this time you suffered from a kidnapping accident, which was something that wasn’t written in the plot at all.]
Xiao Qingya pouted, still finding it a little unbelievable. Since it was just a guess from the System, she couldn’t vent her anger at it.
The System was also a victim here!
Besides, it made a reasonable point, so she temporarily accepted its explanation. As for why she didn’t get the points for the previous drowning incident, it was because the plot had written it the preordained method she would die.
Xiao Qingya was still awake until an hour later, rendering the System a little helpless.
[Little Ya, you should go to sleep to recover faster.]
It was talking about the scratches and small bruises on her body.
Zhou Anra silently agreed with the System. She had been caressing Xiao Qingya’s fluffy hair and also occasionally patting her little bottom, trying to get her to sleep.
However, the child was still wide awake, showing no sign of sleepiness at all.
The little one sighed. She had been looking at a few items, trying to consider which one she should buy. Each item had their advantages and disadvantages. As such, she remained undecided until now.
A certain bottle of pesticide had a large size and her family could use it for a while, but it was less effective compared to the other pesticide that was smaller in size.
Alas, although she was a farmer’s daughter, she had limited knowledge regarding farming. Since her family also never took her to the fields, she didn’t know its current condition.
All of a sudden, Xiao Qingya let out an angry snort.
[System, give the access to the system’s shop back to me right now!]
She couldn’t believe the System had blocked it when she was in the middle of her pondering.
The System stayed dead, not listening no matter how angry the little one was. After all, it knew Xiao Qingya probably would be like a kid addicted to a phone once it gave the access back.
Seeing how flushed her face was, Zhou Shuran pressed her palm to the little one’s forehead. "Little Ya, are you alright? Why is your face so red?"
Xiao Qingya was a little flustered, but she was quick-witted enough to request water. "Water... it’s hot."
After she gulped the water in her baby bottle, she quickly went to sleep, still indignant and a little angry at the System.
The System didn’t falter. It promised to give her access when she finally figured out the condition in the fields, so that she could pick more suitable pesticides and boosters.
In the morning, as the family gathered for breakfast, they suddenly heard the little one’s thoughts again.
[Hmm, how do I make my mother bring me to the fields? Should I throw a tantrum by rolling on the ground? I learned how to do it last time from my eldest sister.]
Xiao Yuxi stiffened, and her eyes went wide.
