I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

[Unknown operation has occurred in the system, please wait...]

[The system is loading quickly, please wait...]

Bai Qingyao: ...

This system sounds a bit unreliable.

After a few minutes, the mechanical sound appeared again.

[Host, please refrain from personal attacks. The system is the system. Please do not insult the system. Otherwise, the system will issue a warning to the host.]

Bai Qingyao: ???

What a horse thing?

When did she curse it?

Is this system sick?

[Host, please stop complaining about the system immediately.]

Bai Qingyao: ...

"Can you hear what I'm saying?"

"The host is the host of the system. The system has the authority to listen to the host's inner needs and satisfy them."

Bai Qingyao: ...

[If the host doesn't like it, you can turn off this permission.]

"closure."

[Ding~ Listening host permission has been closed.]

"By the way, what system were you talking about?"

[It's a sea-hunting system, that is, once the host accepts a mission, there will be a certain reward after completing it.]

"What if it can't be completed?"

[Ding--]

[The task within the system is starting, and the host has accepted it.]

Bai Qingyao: ???

"When did I accept it?"

[Once the host asks more than three questions, he will automatically agree to bind to the system and accept the system task. ~ Pen refill~]

Bai Qingyao: ...

What a rip off! Isn't this mandatory?

Why ask her in the first place?

[Is it because the host didn't ask any questions just now~]

The white young man wants:!

"Hasn't this permission been closed?"

[Ding, system permissions are completely closed.]

[Because the host is not bound to the system, it has not been executed yet~]

Bai Qingyao raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows, feeling a headache.

[Friendly reminder, the first mission is to get your first pot of gold by going to the sea. If you complete the mission, you will receive a mysterious gift package. If you fail the mission, you will be eliminated.]

Bai Qingyao:!

WTF?

"It means that if I fail to complete the mission, I will...huh?"

[Yes, host. ]

"What a lousy system! Go back where you came from!"

"Also, it's not me who actively binds you. Although I've never met you, I know that everything is based on one's will. Go wherever you want, don't stay here with me."

"I believe that your system wouldn't bind someone so casually."

"Besides, I picked you up by accident. I'm very unhappy with your forced control over my life and death."

After saying this, Bai Qingyao put on her clothes, turned around and was about to go out.

She hated being controlled the most, especially by this unknown species that suddenly appeared without her will.

The 003 system didn't expect that Bai Qingyao would actually turn around and leave.

[Host, trust me, after the mission is completed, the reward will be very generous.]

"What's the point of asking for such a large reward if you're not going to survive?"

The system choked, but without thinking too much, it stopped the sound briefly.

But Bai Qingyao had a faint light flashing in her eyes.

It seems that her guess was right.

This system probably hasn't been bound to the host it mentioned for a long time, but for some unavoidable reasons, it directly bound to her.

But even so, she still felt unhappy.

[Host, wait a minute——]

Seeing that Bai Qingyao was really not tempted by it, 003 became a little anxious, and there was a slight tremor in his voice.

[Okay, host, what do you want to do?]

Bai Qingyao stopped and asked, "What are those random gift packs you mentioned?"

[These are all used for catching seafood. Some are precious, some are common. Of course, if you are extremely lucky, you can get something even more precious.]

[And host, rest assured, these things are all useful to you now.]

[So, bind me, the host can rest assured, you will not suffer any loss!]

Although 003 does not have a human form, but from the sound, one can imagine that if it had a human form, it would definitely be very arrogant now.

However, Bai Qingyao will not give in easily.

"Even so, if the mission is not completed, they will be eliminated. What's the point of completing the mission then?"

[Actually...actually there's no need to erase it...]

003's voice was very small, but Bai Qingyao still caught it.

"What did you say?"

[In fact, as long as the host completes the main mission, the remaining missions are just a small punishment and will not endanger the host's life.]

[Host, please don’t rush to refuse…] Fearing that Bai Qingyao would refuse, the system quickly continued to speak.

[The host's ability to come to this world means that their body was already dead in their original world. Our system seeks out those who have crossed the line between life and death, so that we can bind them.]

"Then you haven't bound anyone else before?"

[Of course, it has been bound before, but no one has ever been able to complete the system's task. However, host, rest assured, the previous hosts all died of natural causes and were not wiped out by the system.]

This is also a bug in the system. In addition, it is unwilling to see people die in vain, so it has become the bottom of the business.

If it fails to complete it this year, it will be laughed at by other systems for the rest of its life.

When Bai Qingyao heard this, she felt a little pity for it, but when it came to herself, this pity quickly disappeared.

"Oh, it turned out to be a lucky coincidence."

system:……

That's not wrong.

[So, host, how about you reconsider?]

"So there are some mysterious benefits to me being bound now?"

Hearing this, the system suddenly became alert.

[Ding~ A newbie gift pack is given to the host!]

Bai Qingyao looked at the screen in front of her as she saw the newbie gift pack. "How do I receive this?"

[The host clicks to confirm. The system has built-in storage space.]

"Storage space?"

Bai Qingyao's eyes lit up. "Can other things be stored?"

[In principle, it is possible.]

"That's good."

As soon as Bai Qingyao finished speaking, she heard the voices of the three little ones outside the yard and hurriedly walked out.

The three little ones had eaten and drunk their fill, and she glanced at the sky.

"Ahuai, Axuan, Ajing, let's go to town."

Bai Qingyao took the steamed oysters and the prepared sauce and put them in a basket. She carried it on her back and prepared to go to the town with them.

As soon as I went out, I met people from the village.

However, she had a bad reputation, and the villagers took one look at her and quickly left.

She saved herself a lot of trouble and walked towards the town with the three little ones.

Taohua Town is not very close to Dayuan Village. Most villagers go to the town by ox cart. When she brought the three little ones to the village entrance, there were not many people around. After waiting for a while, people started to arrive one after another.

When the ox cart arrived, Bai Qingyao stepped forward, smiled, took out four cents from her sleeve, and handed it to the middle-aged man on the ox cart.

"Uncle Niu, this is our car money."

When the man called Uncle Niu heard her words, he looked up and only took two cents.

"Those two little things don't take up much space. As for the thing that Xuan and you are carrying, I'll reluctantly charge you a penny."

After saying that, he tidied up the horns of the ox cart and said, "Come on up."

"Thank you, Uncle Niu."
