Digging A Hole for Herself

Mei Shu felt a headache coming on when she heard Little Eight's new mission. She rubbed her forehead and handed the phone on Mei Yan's desk to him. "Call your teacher or classmates and ask them about today's homework."

Mei Yan hesitated and dawdled for a long time. In the end, under Mei Shu's threat, he had no choice but to call the academic representative of his class to ask about the homework today.

Mei Shu's grades had been number one in the grade since she was young. Her plummeting grades came after Bai Ling passed away. Because she had been constantly brainwashed by Wang Yue and Old Wang, she had always thought that she was to blame for her mother's death. That was why she wasn't in the mood to study later. When she wanted to study hard in high school, she realized that she had fallen behind too much and could not keep up with others at all, so she simply gave up.

Therefore, Mei Shu was still very confident in tutoring Mei Yan in elementary school homework.

Homework was assigned for all three subjects, Chinese, Math, and English. Mei Yan worked on them from 7 pm to 11 pm. It was not that the homework was too difficult or that there was too much homework. It was entirely because Mei Yan's grades were too poor. After four hours, Mei Shu felt that she was going to have high blood pressure. She wished she could snatch the pen over and write it herself.

The scene changed from her patiently tutoring her brother at the beginning to chaos later on. In the end, she had to take into account Mei Yan's self-confidence and nurture his enthusiasm to learn, so she had to cheer him on and encourage him.

Seeing that Mei Yan had finally finished his homework, Mei Shu finally heaved a sigh of relief.

[Congratulations, Master, for successfully completing the mission. +10 points, Learning Points +1]

Education required collaboration between the school and parents. In order to let parents understand their children's learning progress, the teacher required that students' homework be checked by parents, and then marked with "Read" along with the parent's name and date.

After Mei Shu left the room, Mei Yan looked at the name signed on the exercise book and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

[Congratulations, Master, for winning the favor of your family. Affinity +1]

Hearing Little Eight's announcement, Mei Shu was a little surprised. When she went out just now, the little kid clearly looked unhappy. Mei Shu was already prepared to be hated even more by him. She didn't expect to receive such an unexpected surprise.

This might be what they call "saying one thing but meaning another". Mei Shu shook her head and smiled.

In fact, Mei Yan didn't dislike studying from the very beginning. When he first entered the first grade, he also studied diligently for a few weeks and completed his homework on time.

However, her father, Mei Yun, was either on a business trip or had returned home too late to check his homework. Wang Yue also always said that she was busy, so Mei Yan didn't have his parents' signature every time he handed in his homework.

Later on, when his classmates found out, they mocked Mei Yan for having no parents. Every time this happened, he would be even more resistant to studying. As time passed, he started to give up. At the same time, he missed the gentle Bai Ling in his memory even more. As a result, he hated Mei Shu, who had caused his mother's death, even more.

After Mei Shu took a shower, it was already past 12 o'clock. After being reborn, she was exceptionally excited and didn't feel sleepy at all. She even took the initiative to ask Little Eight about her next mission.

This was Little Eight's first time meeting a host who was so enthusiastic. It felt that it was one step closer to retirement. It raised its non-existent eyebrows happily. [Then I'll give you tomorrow's mission in advance. Please design a revenge plan. Complete it in two hours! The time starts now!]

Mei Shu: … What the hell, she's digging a hole for herself!

[Are you seriously ill?! Everyone is asleep at night. How can I take revenge?! The mission is unreasonable. I strongly request that it be delayed to 24 hours!]

Little Eight was so excited just now that she didn't notice the time limit of the mission and was in a hurry to accept it. It felt a little guilty in the face of Mei Shu's request. [Master, I can't change the time limit of the mission. This is decided by the headquarters' backend system.]

Mei Shu rolled her eyes. [I want to cancel it!]

[Cancellation will be considered a failure of the mission. 20 points will be deducted. Master, if you complete it, you will get +30 points! Work hard, I believe you can definitely do it!]

In the face of Little Eight's deliberate cuteness, Mei Shu's fists were still clenched so tightly that they made cracking sounds. She had only scored a total of 20 points today. This deduction was equivalent to her working for nothing today. That definitely wouldn't do!

After thinking about it angrily for a while, Mei Shu targeted Mei Mu. In her previous life, before she died, her long hair was cut off by the other party. In that case, it should be her turn to enjoy this feeling in this life.

Mei Shu first checked the points exchange system to see if there was anything she could use.

Only the first five slots on the system interface were displayed. The other dozens were all gray, and she couldn't see any goods that could be exchanged inside. Mei Shu thought about it and estimated that activating new goods might be related to the completion degree of revenge, so she returned her attention to the redeemable part.
