I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Chapter 83 The System's Little Secret

Jia Cheng stared at the price tag of the precision ultrasound machine in front of him for a long time, thinking secretly:

[Well... this price seems to be acceptable. However, once I buy it, my luck value will only be 200 points, but at least it is enough to deal with the current situation.

If the situation really came to a last resort and the luck points were not enough, he still had another way - to go to Lady Jia to "borrow" some luck points.

After all, she is my grandmother, so I guess she wouldn't mind her grandson taking away more of her luck, right?]

After the last experience of being bedridden, the old lady was more or less mentally prepared for this kind of thing.

So even if I fall ill again this time, it probably won’t be as unbearable as last time.

What’s even more interesting is that Jia Baoyu happened to run into the old lady again today.

If the old lady's old illness relapses, she can blame it on Jia Baoyu, and everything seems so natural and smooth.

Thinking of this, Jia Cheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought: [Should I take this opportunity to go to the old lady again and try to get some luck?

If I pull out too much, she might be paralyzed, but if I pull out only one-third, it might be okay... I just don't know if doing so will leave any sequelae.]

The system heard Jia Cheng’s inner thoughts and immediately flapped its wings and flew to his shoulder.

[Brother Cheng, why don’t you find someone else to fleece! You always pick on Old Lady Jia and fleece her alone. If you really fleece her, I can’t bear the blame!] The system said anxiously.

[Your new teacher Zhu Shi has excellent fortune and great blessings, far better than Old Lady Jia.

You should get closer to him and collect more luck points.

Don’t set your sights on Old Madam Jia anymore. You should be more kind!

In my opinion, Grandmother Jia has been very kind to you recently, but you are so cruel...]

The system couldn't help but take a deep breath, thinking to itself: "This Jia Cheng is as vicious as a snake and scorpion, his heart is too dark! How could he be so cruel!"

Thinking back to the last time when his momentary negligence caused Lady Jia to become paralyzed and bedridden, the system still feels a lingering fear.

When his mother found out, she warned him.

The system has been acting mysterious lately because he contacted the main system and found his mother.

During this period of time, the system's whereabouts have been erratic and it has not paid much attention to Jia Cheng. In fact, it is busy communicating with his mother.

With the sufficient luck obtained from Jia Cheng, the system was able to restore its connection with the main system.

Jia Cheng always felt that he had already won the battle of wits with the system. After all, he could easily suppress the opponent with his own intelligence.

But the system has a plug-in, and the amount of luck value absorbed is displayed by the system.

The system's mother was afraid that her silly son would be tricked by the host and suffer a loss, so every time the host absorbed the luck value, the displayed value was 30% less than the actual value.

This 30% of luck value went directly into the system's small treasury, allowing him to use it to buy snacks.

The displayed luck value will then be divided between the system and the host again, and the luck value allocated to the system will be submitted to the main system.

Therefore, the system was generous enough to not let Jia Cheng allocate the luck points to him because he had the confidence.

Jia Cheng didn't know the luck value in his small treasury, so he could spend it secretly.

Since Jia Cheng no longer gives him luck points, the system will not be able to hand over the luck points to the main system, but no one will blame him.

The system had problems before and almost crashed, and it lost contact with the planet.

Now the system department only hopes that the system can return to the planet safely. It doesn’t need him to complete many tasks, as long as he stays alive.

Besides, the system has his parents, brothers and sisters to back him up, so no one dares to do anything to this little master.

His mother let him relax and have some fun in the world of Red Mansions.

The system knows that Jia Cheng has his own ideas and it is exciting to be with him. The system thinks that the trip to the Red Mansion should be very interesting.

Now that the system has contacted my mother again, I feel more confident and dare to say a few words to Jia Cheng, who is full of bad intentions.

When Jia Cheng heard the system's saintly words, a disdainful sneer appeared on his face: "Brother Tong, isn't it good for me to help you collect more luck points? I never thought that someone like you who came from a higher plane would actually have compassion!"

He paused, then continued in the tone of ancient people: [You always say that Grandmother Jia treats me well, but that is only because I am still of use to you.

Thinking back to the time when I was stupid and ignorant, did she ever show any concern and care for me?

To put it bluntly, the transaction between us is a mutual benefit and each side gets what it needs.

She treats me well, which can improve my status in Rongguo Mansion and make me enjoy the favor of everyone.

And I gave her the best medical treatment so that she could live a few more years.

All this is due to interests, why do you have to pretend to be affectionate?

Do you expect me to treat her as my own grandmother? Humph, I tell you, I don't care about ancestors! ]

Jia Cheng was so angry at the sudden kindness of the system that he was nitpicking. He was afraid that if he spoke nicely, he would not be able to help but curse.

If he were to talk to the system normally now, he would say, [Why should I be nice to that ***? I don’t owe her anything. I’m ******.]

Jia Cheng hates people who are unaware of other people’s suffering but try to persuade others to do good the most. In his previous life, he had to abide by the law, so why shouldn’t he be allowed to do whatever he wants in this life?

Such a small system dares to tell him what to do.

Jia Cheng's cold words were like a basin of icy water poured over his head, causing his system to tremble and shiver.

He quickly apologized with a smile and explained: [Um...Brother Cheng, please don’t be angry, I said the wrong thing.

I just felt that Mrs. Jia has been very nice to you recently, and I didn’t expect you still remember what happened before.]

Jia Cheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, but did not respond.

Whether in his past life or this life, his narrow-mindedness seems to have been deeply ingrained in his bones and difficult to change.

Not only that, he is also particularly vindictive and can remember something forever.

Although he did enjoy the love and pampering given by Grandmother Jia, deep down in his heart, he always believed that all this was owed to him by Grandmother Jia.

Why should we classify the grandchildren of Jia Mu into high and low? Can't we treat every grandchild equally?

He is the one who is left out and ignored, so there is no doubt that he will feel resentful.

If he is the one who is favored, it is because he is likable, not because of the kindness of the elders.

Although he now behaves very filially and tries his best to please Lady Jia, in fact he is just indulging in the wonderful feeling of being pampered and praised.

Seeing those people who once hated him now fawning over him like lapdogs, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart - the pleasure of conquering and trampling others under his feet made him obsessed.

However, if we ask whether he had any real feelings for Lady Jia, I can only regretfully say that they did not exist at all.

In his eyes, so-called family affection is nothing more than a game of power, and he is the player who is good at manipulating people's hearts and controlling the situation.

Who would have any feelings for a strange old lady who once ignored and suppressed them?

The sunny day two months ago was still vivid in my mind. It was Jia Baoyu's sixth birthday, and the whole Rongguo Mansion was decorated with lights and full of joy.

This young master who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth naturally became the focus of everyone's attention and enjoyed unlimited glory.

However, at the same time, in a secluded corner on the east side of the Jia Mansion, there was another lonely figure playing in the mud silently - it was Jia Cheng.

Compared to Jia Baoyu who was treated like a star, Jia Cheng looked so miserable: there were no grand banquets, and even his own biological mother could not be by his side.

Mrs. Xing must go to Mr. Bao's birthday party to flatter the beloved one of the Rongguo Mansion.

All this was undoubtedly a deep hurt and injustice to Jia Cheng.

In the entire Rongguo Mansion, the only person who treats Jia Cheng sincerely is Madam Xing. No matter whether he is smart or stupid, this mother's love for him will never change.

Even Jia She's kindness to him was lacking in meaning.

Jia Cheng will never forget Jia She's indifference and coldness towards him.

Therefore, he accepted all the compensations given to him by Jia She without any psychological burden, but it was impossible for him to return the same amount of love to the other party.

Jia Cheng did not feel the slightest bit of guilt towards Jia She.

You know, the fatherly love that Jia She shows now is just the result of his careful planning.

Since it is something you have obtained through your own efforts, why should you give anything in return?

But then again, Jia Cheng doesn't intend to owe Jia She too much.

After all, Jia She has served him very attentively and considerately these days, and such a dedicated person deserves to be rewarded.

Even if a little bit leaked through his fingers, it would be enough for Jia She to enjoy.

The system persuaded Jia Cheng earnestly for a long time and finally succeeded in dispelling his idea of ​​continuing to harm Lady Jia.

However, Jia Cheng has never been someone who can stay quiet and still.

Since it is no longer possible to make fun of Lady Jia, why not change the target and tease Jia She?

If Jia She knew that Jia Lian had lost his virginity at the age of ten and had experienced sexual intercourse, Jia She would probably be very unhappy.

The first woman in Jia Lian's life was actually a maid specially assigned by Mrs. Wang, and this maid obviously had ulterior motives. I believe Jia She would be determined to thoroughly investigate the relationships around Jia Lian.

In this way, Jia Cheng could easily get all kinds of detailed information about Zhu Mo.

Jia Lian still has no children now. If I mislead Jia She and make him think that Jia Lian has no children because he spends too much time playing around, Jia Lian will probably suffer.

Thinking of this, Jia Cheng gave a wicked smile. He liked the lively and bustling Rongguo Mansion, with something to watch every day. Otherwise it would be so boring.

Jia Cheng straightened his clothes and prepared to trick Jia She.

Someone from the kitchen came back and said that the tonic soup for Lady Jia was ready.

Jia Cheng waved his hand and sent Qiangwei to deliver it to Lady Jia, and he did not go in person.

He told Qiangwei that if the old lady asked, she should say that he was reading in the study and couldn't get away.

The main reason was that he was afraid that once he saw Lady Jia, she would not be able to help but absorb his luck madly, so it was better not to meet her today.

Jia Cheng put away the wicked smile on his face and returned to his cold and frosty appearance. With a lot of evil thoughts in mind, he let Jia She read his mind.
