System, You Didn't Say the Villain Can Read Minds! - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

◎Fed one mouthful after another.◎

Mo Jiu was momentarily stunned for one, two, three seconds.

In the fourth second, the System assigned a task: Trigger Task — Impervious to Salt and Oil. Please take action within 10 seconds to refuse Yun Wenzhou’s gesture of goodwill.

10 seconds?

Mo Jiu didn’t have time to think. She slapped away the husky and the calico cat in Yun Wenzhou’s hand.

The fluffy husky dropped to the ground silently, while the calico cat clattered and rolled all the way to the corner.

Did Yun Wenzhou hear the request I made to my father, assume I liked small cats and dogs, and therefore want to give me her cat and dog toys?

What a good kid!

How on earth did this family manage to force such a good kid to turn evil?

While internally cursing Yun Wenzhou’s family as animals, Mo Jiu glared at Yun Wenzhou and snapped: “I don’t care for your toys! Take your toys and get lost!”

Simultaneously, her inner voice: ‘I didn’t hit her hand this time, yay!’

Yun Wenzhou heard Mo Jiu’s inner voice, instinctively lifted her hand to look at it, and regretted handing over the toys.

If I had hugged the toys, would my sister have been able to hit my hand?

Then I would have heard my sister’s inner voice expressing regret.

Sister is always like this, being fierce to me, yet worrying whether she has truly hurt me.

Yun Wenzhou didn’t find this strange. After all, her sister’s parents found her unpleasant, either ignoring her or physically abusing her. Her sister, having been influenced by them, must feel that she needs to act this way to be a part of the family, right?

But her sister was different from them.

Yun Wenzhou bent down, letting her long hair slide over her neck, covering the slightly lonely expression on her face.

She slowly picked up the husky and the calico cat that Mo Jiu had slapped to the floor, placed them on Mo Jiu’s desk, and then turned to leave.

“I said I don’t want your toys!” Mo Jiu picked up the softer husky and threw it at Yun Wenzhou!

The fluffy husky hit Yun Wenzhou’s back. It didn’t hurt at all. Compared to her father’s fists, it was even comfortable.

‘Hurry up and leave!’

Yun Wenzhou heard Mo Jiu urging her inside, so she didn’t look back and went straight to her room.

Although being chased away by her sister felt a little sad, it didn’t matter.

When she grew up and had enough power, she would take her sister away from this suffocating family.

System: “That shouldn’t happen.”

System: “Where exactly did things go wrong?”

Mo Jiu: “What’s the matter?”

System: “At this stage, while Yun Wenzhou hasn’t yet conceived the idea of killing her family, she harbors a deep hatred for everyone in this household. It’s impossible for her to give you toys.”

System: “But all the required tasks have been completed. Is there something wrong with the character herself?”

Mo Jiu: “If there’s something wrong with the character herself, what happens?”

System: “The main characters of a book, including the protagonist, important supporting characters, and important antagonists, are infinitely close to real people and cannot be replaced at will. As long as they are not dead, the file cannot be restored and restarted. Once a problem occurs, it will severely delay the progress of world optimization and adjustment.”

Mo Jiu: “Oh.”

I thought I would be immediately erased like a bug. If that won’t happen, it’s fine.

System: In short, based on Yun Wenzhou’s actions, it can be judged that her degree of villainization is far from reaching the standard. I need to issue more tasks to you.

Mo Jiu: …

In the evening, Mo Jiu’s mother came home from work and brought back three takeout boxes.

Her father was idle at home and didn’t cook. Her mother was busy with work and didn’t cook. Mo Jiu was so sick of eating takeout every day she was about to throw up.

If it weren’t for the OOC warning, she really wanted to cook herself to improve her and Yun Wenzhou’s meals.

“Baby, there’s your favorite chicken drumstick today!” The mother first placed one box in front of Mo Jiu, then took one for herself. The remaining box was for the man.

None for Yun Wenzhou.

That makes sense. The takeout portions are quite large. One box each would be wasteful. Three boxes for four people is just right.

But the mother had no intention of distributing the food with bowls. Until they finished eating, Yun Wenzhou could only watch them eat?

‘How can they bear to let such a sweet child go hungry!’

Mo Jiu complained internally.

Yun Wenzhou looked at her, then at the woman.

The woman caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of her eye, and her brow instantly furrowed.

‘Bad luck.’

‘Why is this dirty thing still here? I want to get rid of her immediately!’

She suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and looked at Mo Jiu, instantly changing her expression to a gentle smile: “Baby, eat slowly, okay? Leave any leftovers, and I’ll deal with them.”

‘I would rather throw this food away than let that woman’s bastard child eat it!’

Hearing this thought, Yun Wenzhou turned and left without hesitation.

She wasn’t a masochist. Since there was no food for her, there was no need to stay here and endure the aroma of food.

However, just two steps out, Mo Jiu called out to her: “Who permitted you to leave? Get back here!”

Yun Wenzhou paused her steps, obediently turning and returning to Mo Jiu’s presence.

Sister called me.

Sister needs me!

What does Sister want me to do?

“Open your mouth!” Mo Jiu yelled aggressively.

Yun Wenzhou cooperated and opened her mouth.

Mo Jiu tore off a piece of chicken with her bare hand and stuffed it into Yun Wenzhou’s mouth, saying as she did so: “Taste it for me to see if it’s good. If it’s good, I’ll eat it!”

‘Eat more, eat more!’

Yun Wenzhou looked at Mo Jiu, chewed, chewed, chewed, and swallowed.

Her taste preference was light. She found outside food, no matter what it was, too salty, but when hungry, anything tasted delicious.

Especially when fed by her sister’s own hand.

“It’s good,” she replied in her mechanical voice.

“What makes it good? Is it sweet or salty?” Mo Jiu asked, repeating three words in her heart.

‘Don’t answer, don’t answer, don’t answer.’

So, Yun Wenzhou, who was about to answer, fell silent.

“You can’t even taste if it’s sweet or salty? Useless thing! I’ll give you one last chance!” Mo Jiu said, stuffing another large mouthful of chicken into Yun Wenzhou’s mouth!

“And this, it looks hard, no appetite for it at all!” Mo Jiu picked up a spoon and fed a spoonful of rice into Yun Wenzhou’s mouth.

“This vegetable won’t be too salty, right?” She fed a piece of green vegetable.

‘Can’t skip the vegetables.’

“Why is there a carrot? I don’t like carrots!” She fed a piece of carrot.

‘Carrots are good for the eyes.’

Yun Wenzhou was fed one mouthful after another by Mo Jiu just like this.

Mo Jiu’s parents stared in amazement. The mother finally shouted: “Why are you feeding her! That’s such a waste!”

“You yelled at me!” Mo Jiu looked back, pretending to be wronged. “You actually yelled at me! Mommy is a big bad person!”

She continued feeding with her hand.

Mother: “…”

The father couldn’t stand seeing Mo Jiu upset and chastised the mother.

Mo Jiu took the opportunity to feed Yun Wenzhou a few more bites. When she thought it was enough, she started eating herself, thinking as she ate: ‘I fed her a bit forcefully. I hope I didn’t choke the kid?’

Yun Wenzhou covered her mouth with both hands, carefully swallowing the mouthful of food.

I must not waste the food Sister fed me with her own hand.

Sister is indeed very gentle.

I like Sister even more!

Mo Jiu ate a few bites and felt relieved after confirming that the System hadn’t issued any warnings.

To avoid OOC, she couldn’t openly feed Yun Wenzhou. She had to use the pretense of a harmful act to carry it out.

Forcibly feeding someone against their will, how is that not a form of harm?

The System’s intelligence was lower than hers, so not only did it fail to notice the problem, but it even granted a reward.

System: “Congratulations, your harmful acts toward the antagonist Yun Wenzhou have reached 10 times. You have been awarded 100 reward points. The Mall is now unlocked. You can exchange for items or abilities in the Mall.”

Mall?

The moment Mo Jiu thought this, a semi-transparent electronic panel appeared before her eyes.

There weren’t many items on the panel, only four.

1 Unit of local general currency, 1 reward point.

1 Recovery Potion, 10 reward points.

1 Enhancement Potion, 100 reward points.

1 Superpower, 1000 reward points.

Mo Jiu: “Can the rewards be carried over to the next world?”

System: “Yes.”

Mo Jiu: “That’s good then.”

She probably wouldn’t need it in this world. After all, her role only lasts until Yun Wenzhou awakens her superpower, so she won’t have a chance to fight against the distorted entities.

But can NPCs actually browse the Mall?

NPCs don’t even have self-awareness. How are they supposed to exercise agency and purchase items from the Mall?

This might be a lure to catch a bug.

Mo Jiu decided not to use the Mall unless absolutely necessary, but she still needed to clarify the necessary questions beforehand.

Mo Jiu: “For “1 Unit of local general currency,” can I specify the denomination of the currency myself?”

System: “No, it is random. It depends on your luck.”

Mo Jiu: “Alright… Is the superpower also random?”

System: “Yes.”

Fine.

‘Sometimes I really hate this feeling of not being able to control everything myself, but I don’t want to disappear yet.’

Yun Wenzhou heard this thought and looked up in surprise.

Control…

Sister is indeed not as free as she seems. It’s all the fault of that man and that woman.

Sister, just wait. I will definitely find a way to rescue you from this suffocating home.

Mo Jiu was a little preoccupied during dinner, worried that the System would suddenly assign her a task.

Fortunately, it didn’t.

It wasn’t until she had finished showering in the evening that the System spoke again.

System: “Your next task is — Uncared-for Corner. Before dawn, without parental interference, inflict both physical and mental humiliation on Yun Wenzhou to make her realize that no one will come to save her when she is being bullied.”

System: “Since you can’t resist interfering when others bully her, then you do it yourself.”

Wow, you truly are a genius!

Mo Jiu couldn’t be happier that the parents wouldn’t interfere. If she inflicted the harm herself, she could control the severity. If the parents did it and accidentally killed Yun Wenzhou, the file would have to be restored and restarted.

In that case, not only would her accumulated reward points be cleared, but all the tasks would have to be redone. Just the thought of it was annoying.

Mo Jiu, wearing a loose pink nightgown, charged menacingly toward Yun Wenzhou’s room.

She didn’t knock, opening the door and walking straight in.

What a joke. As cannon fodder female supporting character, why knock on the antagonist’s door? The more I seek death, the better!

However…

Yun Wenzhou was standing in front of the full-length mirror checking her injuries, wearing only a pair of underwear.

Mo Jiu: “…”

Mo Jiu closed the door.

After a moment, she reopened the door, quickly walked up to Yun Wenzhou, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her toward the bathroom.

“You’re disgusting! It makes me furious just looking at you! Go clean yourself up! You’re not allowed to sleep until you’re clean!”

‘It’s better to apply the antiseptic cream after a shower, darling.’
