Chapter 12: Help! my system is nuts!
Chapter 12: Help! my system is nuts!It took a moment for Mei-Mei to process the introduction and she broke it down one word at a time, dwelling on two words especially. One was C4, which was an explosive as far as she knew. Being told that she had something in her mind called C4 was not very pleasant news.
She thought about systems and the fantasy novels and movies that her mother liked to read and the few movies she had seen where a protagonist in an unfair situation was blessed with a system and became a winner in life.
It shocked her to the core that what she always considered to be fiction was actually real.
"You are a system!" she exclaimed.
"Yes host, hurry, activate me." An excited childish voice spoke back to her.
You are already calling me host but you still want me to activate you, she thought and almost scoffed. Did it think she was an idiot, it had already attached itself to her.
She put the system business on pause and
Then pictures appeared on the virtual screen, they were of her in the past, from childhood to adulthood. C4 chose one, the picture from her eighteenth birthday and put it side by side with one of her taken from the airport the day before.
"You used to weigh fifty four kilograms, today you weigh thirty four and not even a healthy thirty four but a 'is she starving thirty four?' You once looked like a shining star and today you look like Smeagol from the movie Lord of the rings, especially your hair."
Mei-Mei felt as if a thousand shards of glass had been stabbed into her chest. One hand instinctively moved to cover her thinning hair.
"Smeagol had like six hairs on his head!" she exclaimed.
A blue light appeared above her head. "Let's count how many you have." C4 said. "One, two..."
"Enough!" Mei-Mei exploded. "I am stupid, I look ugly, I have become a rug, I have ruined myself. I get it, you don't have to rub it in. I was wrong, I should have listened to my mother she was right about Mo Liang."
She punched the pillow and clenched her hands. No more tears and no feeling sorry for herself, it was time to correct her mistakes, she thought.
C4 withdrew the images. "Host, I have detected a desire in you to teach the scumbag a lesson and return to your old self. I the mighty C4 will help you in this task and all you have to do is carry out a few tasks. To show you my might, I will deliver your welcome package."
[Mo Jingzhe keeps a picture of eighteen year old you in his wallet. Your physical appearance now is not up to par so it must be revitalized.
You have received one poison purification pill, one skin nourishing pill, one hair growth pill, one moisturizer, a box of face masks, a vitamin serum, secret skin oil, two small spider shaped small drone cameras and two blocks of special undetected C4.]
Mei-Mei's eyes almost fell out at the last gift she had received, C4!!!
"You are nuts."
"You think so now but later you will know why, now hurry and begin beauty treatment. This system likes beauties."
