I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 4 There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

After the cold winter, Kyoto Prefecture has entered summer and the air has become a little more humid and hot.

However, this kind of weather has no effect on Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

Not to mention the ponds, pavilions and shady trees in the courtyards, the free access to ice alone is something that ordinary people cannot compare to.

However, Chen Yi, who was already one and a half years old, was a little restless. He was lying in front of the table, looking at the unchanging information on the screen, scratching his head constantly.

"How can I increase my counterattack points?"

Half a year has passed, and everyone and everything has changed.

He grew taller, gained strength, and was able to run and jump. He also completed the ultimate evolution from babbling to swearing.

Even the jade sword hanging on his wrist had become much darker in color.

However, the [Counterattack System] has not changed at all!

Not at all!

"Gan!"

Two young servants not far away heard Master Yi's scolding and immediately stood still with their eyes closed, looking honest and obedient.

They didn't know when it started, perhaps since Young Master Yi just learned to speak, they always heard similar vulgar words.

At first, they just thought it was fun.

But when Mrs. Xia overheard it one day, she secretly investigated who had said similar words and said she would "reward" them.

Let us ask, everyone knows that Madam Xia has become a different person since the ceremony of grasping the first month of the lunar year, and she is very strict in disciplining Young Master Yi.

From small things like etiquette to big things like words and deeds, every single one of them must be educated according to the rules of the Marquis' Mansion.

Even the slaves were terrified.

I was afraid that one day I would say a dirty word and Master Yi would learn it and give me a beating.

"lady."

Just then, the two saw Xia Wanwan's figure from afar and hurriedly saluted.

Xia Wanwan glanced at Chen Yi, who was sitting obediently at the desk in the pavilion, and asked in a low voice:

"How long has Yi'er been sitting there?"

"Madam, one hour." A servant replied.

"Have you been lazy during this time?"

"No."

Xia Wanwan nodded with satisfaction, took a plate of fruit from the maid behind her, and walked towards the pavilion.

The two young servants looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yier, take a break and eat some fruit."

"Mom, did you say that I can take a rest now?" Chen Yi sat upright, his back straight, and asked with a serious face.

He heard the noise as early as when Xia Wanwan led people into the yard and immediately corrected his attitude.

"Yier is so hardworking and serious, of course he can take a break." Xia Wanwan touched his head, her eyes flashing with tenderness.

"Here, have some fruit."

"These are the treasures that your Aunt Wanyi brought back from her mother's home. They are said to be produced in the Buddhist country in the West and are extremely rare."

"Thank you, mother."

Chen Yi took the fruit that looked like mango and started eating it.

But while he was eating, he sighed in his heart.

He naturally knew the reason for Xia Wanwan's change, but he didn't know how to explain it.

He couldn't tell her that it was Zhou Wanyi who first tried to ruin his ceremony, so he deliberately let Chen Yuan choose the chicken leg, right?

Not to mention how much Xia Wanwan could trust him, given the current attitude of the Chen family towards Zhou Wanyi, he couldn't say it.

So as to avoid failing to kill the snake and end up being harmed by it.

Therefore, Chen Yi had no complaints about Xia Wanwan's strictness.

Even though he was hit with a feather duster that night, Xia Wanwan only hit him twice and then hugged him and cried bitterly.

To be honest, that scene not only smoothed out Chen Yi's anxiety about coming to a different world alone, but also made him truly accept Xia Wanwan.

He knew clearly what Xia Wanwan did that night. She was not angry but was probably putting on a show for others to see.

So, it was just learning to read and write, which was a piece of cake for him. After all, it was a blessing to have such a caring mother.

Of course, if he could be lazy, he would never be vague about it.

[You are just halfway through your thirties and have begun to shake off the reputation of being a “good-for-nothing”. You are framed and accidentally eat “cartilage powder”]

[Poison is mild, absorbed, counterattack point +1]

Chen Yi noticed the information appearing on the light screen and let out a light exclamation.

Was he poisoned again?
No, the counterattack points have increased?!
"What's wrong? Is the fruit not tasty?" Xia Wanwan noticed his strangeness.

Chen Yi's mind raced, he suppressed his joy at the system coming alive, and asked with a smile: "Mother, how much of this fruit do you have?"

"That's all I have, but your Aunt Wanyi said that if you like it, she can ask her family to send some more."

Chen Yi felt relieved.

From this perspective, Zhou Wanyi's target is only him, and not Xia Wanwan as well.

Then he would know what to do.

"I like it very much. Next time, mother can ask aunt to send more."

"Okay." Xia Wanwan agreed without any doubt.

……

……

After Xia Wanwan left, Chen Yi ran to the study and found a book on pharmacology to read.

[Cartilage powder, a poison that is not easy to detect.]
[Depending on the dosage, it can make warriors below the sixth level of Guiyuan realm lose their strength.]
[If the dosage is reduced, there will be no obvious abnormalities. However, long-term use will weaken the body and there is a high probability that the person will be eunuch and will not be able to achieve great things.]
Chen Yi closed the book, his face calm.

Weakening his physique is not a big deal, the key is to make his greatness smaller! ?

Zhou Wanyi's heart is so vicious!

"I thought she would calm down a bit after the Zhua Zhou ceremony. According to the interface, it should be around the time of the foundation building assessment."

"After all, Chen Yuan successfully obtained the Zhou family's jade knife. Judging from the result, everyone is happy."

"I didn't expect that after her first plan failed, she would dare to follow up so quickly!"

Chen Yi clenched his fists, his eyes were no longer as innocent as usual, but much colder.

He thought for a while, temporarily suppressed his anger, and then opened the light curtain.

【Counterattack Points: 1/100】

"Assassination, poisoning, counterattack..."

Chen Yi looked at the big number "1" and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

He found a way to obtain [Counterattack Points]!
"Counterattack, counterattack, without going through adversity, how can you come from behind and win?"

Although he understood it, Chen Yi felt that this method of improvement, which required going through adversity, seemed... a bit despicable?

What if he becomes the most powerful man in the world and no one dares to harm him?
Should he be forced to commit the crime on his own initiative... No, should he create adversity for himself?

"Damn, this system really doesn't treat me as an outsider."

After complaining a few words, Chen Yi showed a little helplessness on his little face.

He knew that he couldn't blame the system for being "cruel".

After all, according to the normal trajectory of life, he would be laughed at when he got food during the Zhou-year-old ceremony.

At least now, thanks to the system, he has the ability to fight back.

From this, he also knew how to deal with Zhou Wanyi—he could only temporarily "suffer" her to be the stepping stone.

But Chen Yi had another doubt.

Judging from the two times of poisoning, Zhou Wanyi didn't seem to want to kill him, but to hinder his progress in martial arts.

The gluttony pill is to prevent him from choosing sword-related items as the birthday gifts, as that would prevent him from strengthening his physique.

The cartilage powder was used to make him weak, so that he would fail in building his foundation when he was three years old?

Chen Yi couldn't understand.

He is a bastard who can neither inherit the title nor get much of the family property. Why would Zhou Wanyi harm him in martial arts?
"I'm afraid there's something else going on here."

Chen Yi frowned. It seemed that he would have to pay more attention to the information in the Marquis' Mansion in the future.

"Really? There are always villains who want to harm me!"
