The system’s tone was filled with barely concealed amusement.
【Host, tomorrow you’ll finally get to experience what it feels like to be a system~】
Feng Zexuan flopped onto the bed, her mind already overflowing with dreams of sleeping in naturally tomorrow.
She rolled over, hugging the pillow tightly in her arms, the corners of her mouth stretching all the way to her ears.
【Hehehe, I finally found a way to escape morning court!】
【System, I’ll work even harder at eating gossip from now on!】
【Once I save up over three million gossip points, you’ll be able to take over my shifts for an entire year!】
The system replied:
【Host, the look on your face right now… you’re basically a full-fledged capitalist.】
Feng Zexuan snorted twice and kicked her legs around on the bed.
【What if you get exposed in court?】
Feng Zexuan froze briefly, then waved her hand dismissively.
【Aren’t you supposed to know everything? Just imitate how I normally act!】
【That’s hard to say.】
The system deliberately dragged out its tone.
【Don’t blame me later if something goes wrong.】
Feng Zexuan’s heart skipped a beat.
But after thinking it over, it was only going to be one hour anyway. What huge disaster could possibly happen?
【It’s fine, it’s fine! You’ll definitely manage! I believe in you!】
She patted her chest, encouraging herself.
【Worst case scenario, if something happens, I’ll just say I was sleepwalking!】
System:
【…Host, you really are a little genius.】
Feng Zexuan had only slept for two hours earlier, so she was still full of energy and nowhere near sleepy.
Since she had nothing better to do, she decided to browse the system marketplace.
She opened the system panel and started randomly typing keywords into the search bar: lazy-person products, hands-free, remote control…
The moment the string of keywords went through, the marketplace page instantly filled with all sorts of amazing items.
【Holy crap! Things like this actually exist?!】
Feng Zexuan’s eyes widened in shock.
The first thing that caught her eye was the Human Remote-Control Reading Tablet.
The product description was crystal clear:
- Lie down while reading.
- Blink to turn to the next page.
- Roll your eyes to go back a page.
- Nod to skip to the next chapter.
- Tilt your head up to return to the previous chapter.
- Shake your head wildly to switch books.
- It could even float in midair without needing to be held.
【This is way too convenient!】
Feng Zexuan was so excited her fingers trembled.
【From now on, I can read novels in bed without even moving a finger!】
Scrolling further down, there were even more tempting items—
Automatic Massage Pillow: Enjoy full-coverage head massages while lying down, with eighteen adjustable intensity settings and permanent battery-free operation.
Constant-Temperature Lazy Blanket: Warm in winter, cool in summer, like lying on a cloud.
Zero-Gravity Floating Mattress: Automatically adjusts firmness according to body shape; sleep one night and stay energized all day.
The more Feng Zexuan looked, the more excited she became. She wanted to buy everything.
【System, these are way too cheap! You can exchange for one with just a few hundred gossip points?】
【Host, it’s mainly because these things are overflowing on the system side. The versions sold to humans are all outdated leftovers.】
【Even the outdated versions are this good?!】
Feng Zexuan was stunned.
【Then just how advanced are things on your side?!】
【Way beyond anything you can imagine.】
The system sounded extremely smug.
Feng Zexuan didn’t hesitate and started buying immediately.
The human remote-control tablet, foldable bed sofa, massage pillow, constant-temperature blanket, heater…
She bought over ten different items in one go, all designed for maximum comfort while lying in bed.
At checkout, she glanced at her remaining gossip points.
She had spent twenty thousand, leaving her with eight hundred eighty thousand points remaining.
【Hehehe, what a steal!】
Just as she was happily admiring her spoils, her brother’s voice echoed in her mind.
【Little Sister, if you’re not asleep yet, come over to the farm and harvest the fruits and vegetables!】
Feng Zexuan instantly sprang upright from the bed like a carp leaping through water.
“Coming, coming!”
She quickly changed into sporty clothes suitable for moving around, then walked to the door and turned the knob of the “Anywhere Door.”
Click.
The scenery outside instantly shifted from the Northern Suppression Prince’s Manor courtyard into the idyllic scenery of the farm.
As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Feng Zekai standing by the vegetable fields in modern clothing.
He had changed into a light-blue cotton T-shirt paired with fitted black casual pants.
The pale blue color made his skin appear even fairer, while the collar revealed his refined collarbones.
The black pants outlined his long, straight legs perfectly.
He had lost some of the elegant gentleness of an ancient nobleman and gained the bright, youthful aura of a modern young man instead.
The best part was that his waist-length hair was still tied into a high ponytail.
The blend of ancient and modern somehow looked completely natural.
“Brother! You look so handsome!”
Feng Zexuan rushed over and showered him with compliments.
【System, how can my brother be this handsome?!】
【This outfit looks incredible on him! If he cut his hair short, he’d totally be school-heartthrob material!】
The system replied:
【Good genes.】
Hearing the conversation between his sister and the system, Feng Zekai finally realized that he was still wearing clothing from her world.
This wasn’t actually the first time he had worn modern clothes.
When sleeping in the “apartment” his sister had gifted him, he had already tried those garments called “pajamas.”
They really were comfortable to sleep in.
So he had gradually started trying on every piece of modern clothing.
The styles looked a little strange, but they were undeniably practical.
Besides, no one else could see him inside his sister’s space.
After wearing them so often, this time he had actually forgotten to change back into ancient robes before coming to see his sister…
Feng Zekai’s ears grew slightly warm, and he subtly turned his face away.
Feng Zexuan, meanwhile, didn’t care at all. She stuffed a bamboo basket handwoven by their father into her brother’s hands.
“Brother, use this basket while harvesting! Fill it up and bring some back to Father and Mother to try!”
“Alright.”
Feng Zekai responded softly.
The two of them began working in the vegetable fields together.
Cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, chili peppers…
One by one, they picked them and placed them into the basket.
The fruits and vegetables nourished by Spirit Creek Water were astonishingly large, with especially vibrant colors.
After harvesting the vegetables, Feng Zexuan dragged her brother over to the orchard.
Grapes, apples, pears, peaches…
They filled two entire baskets to the brim.
“Brother, are you tired?”
Feng Zexuan wiped the sweat from her forehead.
“Not at all.”
Feng Zekai smiled and shook his head.
“It’s rare to have the chance to experience rural life like this. It’s quite nice.”
After gathering the produce, the two picked up hoes and began turning the soil, preparing to sow seeds again.
At that moment, the system spoke up.
【Host, why are you doing this manually?】
【You’ll have to bathe again afterward. Why not spend some gossip points on automated tools?】
Feng Zexuan swung her hoe repeatedly as she dug into the soil.
“That’s not ‘a little’ gossip value! You casually talk about tens of thousands at a time!”
“And besides…”
She glanced at her brother, who was seriously tilling the soil beside her.
【Working together with my brother may be tiring, but for some reason it just makes me happy!】
【This kind of happiness isn’t something any amount of gossip points can buy!】
System:
【…Host, you sure are stubborn.】
Hearing this, Feng Zekai’s grip on the hoe paused slightly.
His sister was right.
If people relied entirely on tools, their ability to do things themselves would gradually deteriorate.
And besides, labor was glorious.
The two siblings worked together seamlessly.
Feng Zexuan was responsible for digging holes while Feng Zekai scattered the seeds.
Feng Zexuan raised the hoe high above her head.
“I dig! I dig! I dig dig dig!”
One swing of the hoe, one hole—she was having the time of her life.
After digging over ten holes, she handed bag after bag of seeds to her brother.
“Brother, you do the sowing!”
While digging, Feng Zexuan suddenly began singing cheerfully:
“Hey yeah~ you sow the seeds while I dig the holes~”
“One radish, one little hole yo~ hey yo hey yo~”
“Planting hope while waiting for harvests~ la la la~”
“Spirit Creek water splish splash splash~ fruits so big and sweet ah~”
The more she sang, the more energetic she became, swinging the hoe with fierce momentum.
Feng Zekai couldn’t help laughing and followed her rhythm while scattering seeds.
The siblings’ laughter and cheerful voices echoed throughout the farm, creating an incredibly warm atmosphere.
After reclaiming two entire acres of farmland, the two finally wrapped up for the day.
Feng Zexuan clapped the dirt off her hands and wiped the sweat from her forehead again.
Her entire body felt sticky, and several damp strands of hair clung to her cheeks.
“Brother, I’m heading back first to wash up and sleep.”
“Mhm, rest early.”
Feng Zekai answered gently.
“Oh right!”
Feng Zexuan blinked mischievously.
“You won’t see me at morning court tomorrow!”
Feng Zekai froze.
“Why?”
“Hehehe, secret~”
Feng Zexuan looked mysteriously pleased.
“You’ll find out tomorrow anyway!”
She turned around and returned to her apartment.
Feng Zekai remained standing there, watching his sister’s departing figure.
What kind of trouble was this girl planning now?
Shaking his head helplessly, he turned and began organizing the baskets overflowing with fruits and vegetables, preparing to bring them back for their parents to taste fresh.
