Little One Tears the Villain’s Script-Chapter 5
Mr. System Really Is a Good Person (2)
These were her hidden stash. She couldn’t finish all the candies she exchanged with the system, so she stashed them so she would still have something to snack on in case Grandma didn’t give her candies. She really thought that this was too clever of her, and now her stashed candies would finally come in handy.
Jiang Xiaoman’s tone was full of sincerity. The system was silent for a while, then coldly refused. “I don’t want it.”
“Why?” Jiang Xiaoman asked again.
“System doesn’t eat, so the candy is useless to me. And in the first place you exchanged this candy from me, how can you exchange them for my points now?”
Jiang Xiaoman was confused again. “Since I can exchange my points for your candies, why can’t I exchange my candies for your points?”
Normally, if Grandma didn’t have enough rice at home, she would go to the next-door grandmother’s house and exchange cornmeal for grain. Or if she wanted to eat cornbread and she had surplus rice at home, she would trade the rice for cornmeal. Wasn’t this the same? Why didn’t it work?
The system had a headache. It felt as if its AI was going to go crazy, but it still firmly refused her. “No.”
It felt as if its thinking program was going to be messed up, but it still stubbornly refused her: “No.”
Jiang Xiaoman blinked her eyes and started dropping tears again.
The system continued to be silent for a while, then from its huge knowledge base it finally found a way with suitable explanation. “A successful transaction requires that both parties recognize the value of each other’s goods. When you exchanged points for my candy, I recognized the value of your points and you also want my candies, so the transaction could go through smoothly. Now you want my points, but I don’t recognize the value of your candies. There is nothing valuable that the host has that interests me, so I refuse to have a transaction with the host.”
Jiang Xiaoman was a clever child. She understood after the system gave her an explanation, and could infer other things based on it.
“I understand.” Jiang Xiaoman nodded thoughtfully.
The system had said many times that it did not need to sleep, eat or wear clothes. Now Jiang Xiaoman remembered it.
It looked like the system wasn’t like kids that need to eat candies.
The system finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking after a child was really too difficult.
But then, it found out that it became happy too soon.
Because Jiang Xiaoman actually went through her stash again and took out a crescent-shaped jade pendant from the corner!
“I’ll use this to exchange for points.” Jiang Xiaoman’s white, chubby little hands were holding the jade pendant.
It was a very high-quality jade that shined a beautiful lustre under the sun.
The system yelled. “This one can’t do!”
Jiang Xiaoman was a little angry. “Is this thing worthless? You’re the one who told me to hide it!”
“It’s valuable.” The system said anxiously. “But this is an important quest item for your future plot. It cannot be used for trading.”
This was the sign of her relationship with her wealthy parents, how could it not be important? On the first day he got bound to Jiang Xiaoman, the system dutifully told her to keep it safe carefully, and that it would be of great use in the future.
“Since it’s valuable, why can’t it be exchanged for points?” Jiang Xiaoman was also crying anxiously.
“It just can’t.” The system insisted. “I refuse to initiate a transaction with the host.”
“Why?” Jiang Xiaoman was anxiously crying again. But this time, the system did not answer her because it could not find a suitable entry to answer this question.
【The other party refuses to talk to you】
【The other party refuses to talk to you】
【The other party refuses to talk to you】
The cold mechanical voice rang in her mind. Jiang Xiaoman’s words never received a response as the system decided to play dead.
Jiang Xiaoman finally stopped crying. Wiping her tears with her little hand, she walked out alone carrying the jade pendant. She was small and her legs were short, and she couldn’t walk very fast. Soon she was already sweating profusely, but she still didn’t stop walking.
The system finally couldn’t help asking. “Host, what are you doing?”
