Heartless System

"As long as Nana is happy, I'm willing even if I die."

When Anna heard this answer, she smiled in satisfaction. She reached out and hooked her arm around Huang Yuan's neck, then blew at him and said, "You'll sleep with me tonight."

When Huang Yuan heard this, he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. "Alright, alright." Then, he hugged Anna excitedly.

Anna's other partners couldn't help but spit when they saw this. Damn it, this Huang Yuan was really lucky. If they had known that saying some sweet words could make Anna spend the night with them, they would have long snatched this position. This lucky bastard!

But it didn't matter. Since Anna liked this type, they could learn from his example later. In any case, Anna couldn't spend the night with him every day.

It was not enough that that damned Qiao Yan snatched my Xue Ran away from me. Now, she even snatched away the honor of the tribe. In that case, don't blame me for being rude. Why right does she have to snatch anything from me?

Anna's face was horribly twisted.

The next day, when Qiao Yan woke up in bed, she realized that Xue Ran had gone out again.

Xue Ran should have gone out to hunt. She'd woken up very early. Qiao Yan decided to use the pot he made yesterday to cook a pot of carrot and meat bone soup and stir-fried a side dish for Xue Ran to eat when he returned.

Qiao Yan put the cooked dishes on the table and sat by the window, not knowing what else to do.

Why wasn't Xue Ran back yet? She was so bored. She didn't know anyone else in the tribe.

"Stupid Host, please check the Beginner's Gift Bag!"

"Black dust ball, you scared me to death. Can you not suddenly speak in my head? This is very scary!"

At this moment, a white light appeared. Qiao Yan suddenly entered an ancient paradise, and the "Dust Ball" changed from a little black cat to a huge creature that was two heads taller than Charon. "Who are you calling a black dust ball?!"

Help! The black-hearted system suddenly changed from a black dust ball cat to a larger dust ball!

"You actually insulted this System. This System wants to punish you! A severe punishment!"

It was over. Black Dust Ball was angry and Qiao Yan was terrified.

"Wuwuwuwu, the unparalleled System is amazing, I was wrong. I will definitely listen to the System obediently."

"The Host's attitude is correct. Punishment is lifted."

Qiao Yan was stunned. Huh? Lifted? What about her novice mission reward? Was it gone too?

"Wait, what about my reward?"

"Reward? Isn't the reward right under your feet?"

What was this? Was this black dust ball playing with her? Bad review! Bad review!

Qiao Yan pulled at the grass on the ground and instantly became irritable.

"You heartless black dust ball, I'm going to complain about you! Evil merchant, ah, evil System!"

This was too much. How did such a lively and beautiful girl like her meet such a stupid System? She must have transmigrated wrongly. She needs to do the transmigration again.

Seeing that Qiao Yan had lost her fighting spirit and her face was filled with sorrow, the System said coldly, "Isn't this a reward? I even built a room for you for free in the portable Peach Blossom Space!"

Hahaha, Qiao Yan laughed. This was really a nice room… a small and dilapidated straw hut. She was really grateful!

"Eh? Host, you're still not satisfied? You're too greedy. Forget it, this System is generous. I'll also give you a Beast World Encyclopedia for free."

Huh? Encyclopedia? Before Qiao Yan could react, a book fell from the sky and smashed onto her head.

This black-hearted System.

"Host, you can't ask for more. This is already a lot. It's beyond the scope of the Beginner's Gift Bag."

Qiao Yan wanted to retort, but she'd returned to her room before she could say anything.

In the space, Dust Ball had a smug expression. It would not tell the Host that it had confiscated the host's Beginner's Gift Bag.

It was doing this for the good of the Host. If it unlocked too many golden fingers for her, the Host would not strive hard anymore. It had always been a good system, so it did not have any ill intentions.

Everything was for the good future of the Host. It was really a good system with a conscience.

On the other side, Qiao Yan, who had been forced out of the space by the System, sat in the house cursing at this unscrupulous System.

At this moment, Xue Ran returned from hunting. He'd caught a furry white little fox. This kind of little fox was relatively rare and was very difficult to find in the forest. However, because its fur was very good-looking, many females liked to use its fur to make clothes.

"Qiaoqiao, are you awake? I'll deal with this little fox later and use the fur to make clothes for you."

The little fox in Xue Ran's arms seemed to have heard that Xue Ran wanted to kill it to take its fur and began to feel uneasy in Xue Ran's arms. In the next second, the little fox jumped into Qiao Yan's arms, as if it was begging her not to kill it.

The fluff-loving Qiao Yan was instantly stunned by this furry little fellow. She reached out and stroked its fur.

"Xue Ran, let's not kill it, okay? Look at how beautiful it is. Let's raise it as a pet!"

Pet? What was that?

Seeing that Xue Ran was a little hesitant, Qiao Yan raised her exquisite almond-shaped eyes to look at him, as if she would ignore him in the future if he said no.

"Cough, since Qiaoqiao likes it, just keep it."

"Xue Ran, you're the best! Then let's give it a name! How about Little Snow?"

Snowy? Xue Ran was a little puzzled when he heard this name. "Xue Ran, you're Big Snow and this is Little Snow."

Qiao Yan immediately made a face at him before Xue Ran could speak. She carried Little Snow and walked to the table happily. "Xue Ran, let's eat. Quickly try my new dishes."

Without saying a word, Xue Ran immediately lowered his head and ate the dishes cooked by Qiao Yan. As he ate, he did not forget to praise Qiao Yan's dishes for being delicious.

Qiao Yan was overjoyed when she heard Xue Ran's praise. All the anger she had suffered from the System had been swept away.

"It would taste even better if there was salt."

"Salt? What's salt?"

"It's a condiment for food. It'll be better if we roast meat or make other food with salt. And the most important thing is that we can use salt to preserve our food."

"There's such a strange thing?"

"Of course, Xue Ran! But there's no sea water."

"Sea water? There is. There's a sea just outside the forest."

It was great that there was actually a sea! She finally did not have to eat those tasteless roasted meat and dishes anymore. She was about to vomit from eating them.

She really did not know how Xue Ran and the others lived. They could still be so strong even without eating salt.

Using the most primitive method of making salt as described in the chemistry book, she should be able to filter out edible salt by directly putting seawater into a pot and boiling it.

Although the salt produced by this method was not as pure as the type from the world she previously lived in, it was better than nothing.

"Then, Xue Ran, let's quickly call everyone to the beach to collect sea water to make salt."

As soon as Qiao Yan finished speaking, Xue Ran quickly gathered some of the male beastmen in the tribe to make the tools according to Qiao Yan's request and brought Qiao Yan to the beach.
