Chapter 56: The Punishment
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“The System can’t find any information.” The mechanical voice rose up.
Ye Xiyuan pursed her lips and couldn’t help but curse in her heart. This system kept saying that it was amazing, but in the end, it couldn’t even find what she needed. It seemed that this system was not omnipotent.
“Host, you have malice towards the System. After evaluation, you will be electrocuted for one minute as punishment.”
Before Ye Xiyuan realized what was going on, she felt a sharp pain in her body. She immediately fell to the ground and curled up. She gritted her teeth, but she did not dare to make a sound, afraid that she would attract the attention of the people outside. It would be difficult for her to explain then.
Though it only lasted for a quick minute, it felt like ages for her. This was the first time she had been punished by the System. It was not pure physical pain, she felt as if her entire soul was stinging.
After the punishment ended, she couldn’t get up for a while. She collapsed on the ground without any strength. Her clothes were completely drenched from the cold sweat.
“System, what is going on?” she asked weakly.
“Did you curse the System in your heart just now?” the mechanical voice asked. “As long as you harbor a trace of malice towards the System, the System will notice it and punish you. This was the first time, and it was only a warning. If you continue to be malicious to the System in the future, the punishment will be doubled.”
After knowing the reason, Ye Xiyuan didn’t feel relaxed at all. Instead, a faint fear of the unknown rose from the bottom of her heart.
For a long time, with the help of the System, she had indeed changed a lot and gained the attention of most people around her. But now, she realized that she seemed to be an invisible existence in front of the System. The System even knew what she was thinking.
Moreover, this punishment also made her clearly aware of a fact. That was, in front of the System, she seemed just to be a nobody. As long as the System wanted, she could be eliminated at any time.
She couldn’t help but shiver at this thought.
The System’s mechanical voice came up again as if it sensed her fear. “Host, you don’t have to be scared. As long as you don’t have any malicious thoughts about the System, the System won’t punish you at will. Moreover, it will help you reach the peak of your life. Of course, if you don’t want to, you can also unbind yourself from the System.”
Her heart skipped a beat when she heard the word “unbinding”. However, what the System said next made her completely dismiss this idea.
“Once the binding is removed, everything you obtained from the System will be taken back.”
She knew very well that the reason why she was able to get to where she was now, successfully chasing Ye Leng’an away and becoming a good daughter in her parents ‘hearts, was all because of the System’s help. If she lost everything, she would be back to her old self. If she still couldn’t change everything after her rebirth, then what was the point of being alive?
“I won’t remove the binding.” Her tone was firm and with a hint of hatred. “I want to ruthlessly trample Ye Leng’an under my feet. I want her to become the mud to be stepped on.”
Once she thought about what happened in her previous life, she could not suppress the hatred in her heart. Even though she knew that the binding with the System was not as simple as it seemed, and she was asking a tiger for its skin, she did not care at all. She knew very well that without the help of the System, she would never be able to live so well. She was absolutely unwilling to give up everything she had now.
After thinking through everything, Ye Xiyuan got up from the ground, took a shower, and continued to do Mathematical Olympiad questions without sleep.
She was determined to win this competition.
Even though she was going to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad qualifier, Ye Leng’an didn’t take it to heart. She took another day off from school on the day she had agreed to meet with Huangfu Ruiling.
The form teacher drew a long face when she saw that Ye Leng’an asked for leave because Ye Leng’an had applied for leave quite a number of times during this period of time. She was critical of this, but since the principal had given the order, she could only obey.
She didn’t know how Ye Leng’an managed to convince the principal, but she was disgusted by Ye Leng’an’s actions. In her opinion, Ye Leng’an’s grades were not the best. After the scandal of her family was out, she went even further instead of studying hard. What kind of future could she have?
Ye Leng’an didn’t know what the form teacher was thinking, so she naturally didn’t care.
After rejecting Huangfu Ruiling’s request to pick her up, Ye Leng’an took a taxi to the agreed place. Looking at the luxurious nursing home in front of her, she was in a daze for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses. Then, at the door, she saw the person who came to pick her up. It was Li Yi, who had been following behind Huangfu Ruiling..
