The Young Miss

Upon hearing the sound, Xia Yu was startled, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground.

"Did that scare you?" The female voice sounded again.

After looking around the room, Xia Yu confirmed that there was no one else, and that the voice was sounding directly in his mind.

He didn't have any mental issues, so the one speaking should be-

The original owner of this body?

That's right, he had chosen the single-player mode, occupying the girl's body, but not giving his own body for the girl's use. So, the girl's consciousness was still in this body.

In other words, would the girl be helplessly watching him do whatever he wanted with her body?

What a perverse game.

"Hey, hey, can you hear me?" The female voice relentlessly asked, surprisingly without panic in her voice.

"I can hear you," Xia Yu replied.

"Ah, so you're indeed another person. I thought I was sleepwalking, and it scared me to death," the female voice said.

"What's your name?" Xia Yu asked.

"My name is An Siyao," the female voice replied, "What's your name, and why are you in my body?"

"I won't tell you," Xia Yu responded.

It was evident that the girl's family held significant power. Giving his name would be utterly self-destructive, and Xia Yu did not want to deceive her either, so he directly refused to explain.

"Why be like this?" An Siyao muttered.

Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness, which might have melted Xia Yu's heart if uttered by the body he now occupied. However, as a mere voice, it couldn't stimulate any reaction from Xia Yu.

Not paying attention to An Siyao, Xia Yu picked up a pencil, spread out the paper, and prepared to give it a try.

What he wanted to attempt was the drawing bonus Lv1 that the system just prompted.

What should he draw?

After thinking for two seconds, Xia Yu decided to draw the girl he was currently possessing.

He began to draw.

Five minutes later, looking at the stick figure on the paper, Xia Yu fell into deep thought.

There were art courses in school, even teaching gouache and oil painting, but drawing was not Xia Yu's strong suit. He would just coast through those courses.

So, what exactly was the point of the drawing bonus Lv1? This was his real skill level.

Perhaps it was not activated correctly.

Turning the paper over, Xia Yu whispered, "Drawing bonus, activate."

Five minutes later, looking at the drawing on the paper, Xia Yu fell into deep thought once more.

"A long-haired snowman?" An Siyao asked doubtfully.

"No, it's you," Xia Yu replied.

"But my waist and neck are gone!" the girl weakly retorted.

"Don't worry, once I bury you in the snow, you'll look just like that," Xia Yu threatened in a bad mood.

An Siyao immediately quieted down.

After a while, the girl tried to change her snowman image: "You need to start from the skeleton, you know!"

"How?" Xia Yu didn't think the drawing bonus Lv1 was a fake. There must be a way to use this bonus; he just hadn't found it yet.

"Do you want to draw a comic? Turn on the computer, there are many drawing tutorials in the D drive, one of them is about comics," the girl suggested.

Xia Yu's gaze swept around, but he couldn't find a computer.

"It's in the drawer below."

Following the girl's guidance, Xia Yu found a notebook.

On the cover, there was a conspicuous pig head.

This is the best computer brand in this world, Pig Head Man.

Xia Yu worked part-time to get a notebook, but he never aspired to own the Pig Head Man brand it was too expensive.

Resisting the urge to play games on the computer, Xia Yu clicked on the folder that An Siyao mentioned, which contained various painting tutorial videos.

"These are the painting tutorials my mom gave me when I was little, the videos are a bit old," the girl seemed to have a lot to say, as she kept talking, "Later, when my dad heard that I wanted to learn, he found a painter as a teacher for me, so I never watched these videos."

Xia Yu's body paused for a moment, finding a painting teacher was not a strange thing, but a painter and a painting teacher were completely on different levels.

"Just asking, how much does that painter's most expensive painting sell for?" Xia Yu wanted to know how incredible the person he had possessed really was.

"The most expensive painting?" An Siyao thought for a moment, "Probably around 5 million, the teacher said that his paintings wouldn't be worth much during his lifetime, but they would definitely appreciate in value after his death."

The girl's tone carried some embarrassment, as if a painting worth 5 million was a shameful thing.

Xia Yu wanted to have a cigarette.

He stopped searching and opened the video to watch.

After watching, he picked up the brush with full confidence.

Half an hour later.

"..."

"Don't be discouraged; at least there's progress. Now it's a weirdly postured long-haired snowman."

Xia Yu felt that he needed to calmly analyze the situation.

What exactly is the painting bonus lv1?

"You've already made progress. Keep it up!" An Siyao encouraged Xia Yu.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Xia Yu asked as he picked up the brush.

"Why should I be afraid?" the girl replied.

"Do you think this is a dream?" Xia Yu asked.

"Isn't it?" An Siyao wanted to pinch herself, but she couldn't control her own body.

Xia Yu reached out his hand to help the girl.

"It hurts!" An Siyao's voice sounded almost tearful.

"Now you understand that this is reality, and I, through something that can be considered witchcraft, am controlling your body. I can do whatever I want with this body of yours." Xia Yu tried to make the other party understand the seriousness of the problem.

His attempt failed, feeling a bit upset, he hoped to make the girl unhappy as a source of happiness.

"Can we not do bad things?" An Siyao's tone was filled with pleading.

"No."

"Then please be more careful; it hurts when you get injured."

"???"

Why are you accepting this so easily? Where's your begging, your cursing?

Are children from wealthy families all this calm?

That's impossible.

As expected, he was attached to a strange person.

Xia Yu continued to draw.

"You can already tell that it's a person this time!" An Siyao's voice was full of surprise.

So, who is the one possessed, you, or me? Why can you be happier than me?

However, this time indeed looked like a person.

Is my talent really that good?

No one starts hating something initially; it must be because of some unbearable setbacks. Xia Yu's talent in painting was really nothing remarkable.

So, the so-called painting enhancement Lv1 is actually an additional talent?

Xia Yu picked up the brush once again.

At two o'clock in the night, a prompt appeared in front of Xia Yu:

[Eight-hour game time has ended]

[Exiting the game]

Xia Yu's sight went black for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back in his own home.

The surroundings were eerily quiet at this time.

Turning on the light, Xia Yu picked up his phone and started watching the recording of himself.

After going to An Siyao's place, his body lay down for a while, then got up from the bed, went to the desk, did his homework, then went out to take a bath, and came back to sleep.

This system caretaker was quite intelligent.

Picking up the homework, Xia Yu checked it, and it was better than his own, all the problems were solved.

After briefly flipping through it, he set the homework aside and began trying out the real deal.

Taking out a piece of blank paper and a pencil, Xia Yu started drawing on it.

A minute later, although the details were somewhat rough, a character painting that had no problems in its form appeared in front of Xia Yu.

A line of subtitles appeared in front of him:

[Acquired skill - Painting]

[Painting Lv1: Beginner level painting ability]

So, the purpose of the enhancement is to practice hard while exchanging bodies and then inherit the experience after the game is over?

How can the skill of drawing be used?

Can I make a profit by submitting a painting of Bandit King?

However, painting and comics are not the same thing. There are many comics more exquisite than Naruto and One Piece, but they don't necessarily become popular.

Moreover, I can only do pencil drawings for now. To reach the level of using ink-dip pens to draw comics, there seems to be a long way to go.

In addition to painting, An Siyao also has two additional abilities: one is the flower arrangement bonus, which is not very useful, and the other is the music bonus.

Before, Xia Yu had asked An Siyao whether her family had a piano.

Xia Yu remembered that the coffee shop at the street corner was hiring a pianist. Although he didn't know exactly how much they would earn per month, it should be at least three or four times higher than his part-time job as a cashier, earning him one thousand a month.

Having the Pig Man computer doesn't seem to be beyond reach anymore.

Becoming a street corner pianist should have a lower difficulty level than becoming a comic artist, right?

It's decided, you're the choice.
