Chapter 111

Artificial Idiocy (1)

Jiang Xiumei was very fierce. Even though Xiaoman already promised the system to steal the jade pendant, she didn’t dare act unbridled.

She dragged things out for days without showing any movement, making the system anxious.

Jiang Xiaoman took the initiative to do side missions, making little children cry and dominating the kindergarten for a while, earning 20 points. Even so, it wouldn’t make the system happy.

The system said, “Host, if you don’t get the jade pendant back, I’ll die in front of you!”

What good was making little kids cry? How could the jade pendant be compared to making some children cry?

Host, you’re getting more intelligent and disobedient. Do you think this system can’t see through your act?

The children of humanity were terrible existences.

Jiang Xiaoman said quietly, “Brother System, you were never like this before.”

All he talked about was life and death now. How scary.

“Do you think I’m making trouble on purpose? I haven’t cried, I haven’t made a fuss, and I haven’t hung myself yet,” the system cried out.

“What does making trouble on purpose mean?”

“Host, look again. There’s not a safe here, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find,” the system said.

Jiang Xiaoman cried and said, “Okay.”

Xiaoman had searched too hard just now, so Grandma would definitely be able to tell. She would get a beating whether she found the jade pendant or not.

Jiang Xiaoman felt like crying when she thought of the beating to come.

But she had already promised the system, so she had to do it.

Since she was going to be beaten anyway, she didn’t need to hold back anymore.

Basing it on her habit when hiding things, she took a small shovel and went to dig holes in the yard. This was how she hid things back in the village: digging a hole and putting an iron box inside. This was a trick that Grandma taught her.

Since she couldn’t find it anywhere in the house, maybe Grandma dug a hole to hide it.

She dug holes until she was half dead tired, but it was all in vain. Jiang Xiaoman didn’t want to move anymore.

She was really, really, really tired.

However, things did not just end there.
