The system’s rating is on a percentage scale, so this increase of twenty points is really a big improvement!

Shen Cui’s lips curved into a smile, and she opened Mu Er Pang’s attribute panel to take a look.

The original sesame seed was gone, replaced by a small pentagon in the middle of the graph.

This small pentagon was so symmetrical, almost like a smaller version of Mu Yunchuan’s. Shen Cui liked it more and more as she looked at it.

The system’s evaluation also changed. Instead of the toxic chicken soup style content, it changed to a normal, straightforward style—[Mental level equivalent to an eight-year-old in this world].

Shen Cui knew that Mu Er Pang’s overall talent was still far behind his older brother’s, but compared to before, it was definitely a big improvement!

At this rate, with four more enlightenment pills, could Mu Er Pang’s attributes rival those of the original male lead?

Realizing her wild imagination, the system immediately sent her a pop-up window.

[System Prompt: Due to the low basic attributes of Accompanying Study Partner No. 1 and being the first time using genetic drugs, the effects are also part of the main task reward. Subsequent attribute growth will not have this benefit.]

So that’s how it is.

But it’s actually easy to understand. Since Mu Er Pang’s initial attributes were low, getting a twenty-point increase in each attribute at once, if he could get that many attribute points every time, as Shen Cui thought, just a few pills down, Mu Er Pang would transform into another Pentagon Warrior.

This system should be called the Transformation System, not the Accompanying Study System!

The system had previously mentioned that the main task plot and rewards were related to the accompanying study partner she chose, so this must be one of the branches.

If she had forcibly chosen Mu Yunchuan, and the system had given her such incredible things, then she as the host would be useless, just closing her eyes and waiting for Mu Yunchuan to win would be enough.

Shen Cui was already used to the screen in front of her. While watching and thinking, she also put the cloth into the bedroom—she couldn’t wait to see the changes in her little fatty!

By the way, Shen Cui also took out the set of introductory reading materials given by the system.

Top of Form

Books were precious at this time, and the whole Shuiyun Village probably only had some at Mu Yunchuan’s place.

Even those book were not bought with money but copied by Mu Yunchuan himself.

The original owner had driven them out of the house without giving them a single coin, saying, “The books around Master Zuo are worth a lot of money, so there’s no need for additional money.”

Suddenly producing three beautifully bound and clearly expensive books, Shen Cui didn’t know if Mu Er Pang, who had become smarter, would suspect something.

“Er Pang, are you awake?” Shen Cui entered the room, ready to wake up the little fatty.

However, the answer she got was a series of sobs and sniffles.

Shen Cui was shocked and placed the books on the kang table, then sat on the kang edge and lifted the quilt, asking, “Er Pang, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

It seemed that her worries had come true. The genetic drug from the advanced civilization was still a burden on the bodies of Blue Star people.

As she spoke, she glanced at the mood index on the panel, and it had dropped below the passing value again!

And the specific state description had also changed to (pain).

She didn’t know if the doctors at this time could see this condition. In her anxiety, Shen Cui picked up the silver and headed out.

“Don’t leave, Mom! You can’t go!” Mu Er Pang scrambled up from the kang, grabbing her frantically. “You can’t go anywhere!”

“Mom won’t leave, Mom is going to get the doctor for you. Aren’t you feeling unwell?” Shen Cui showed great patience and gently persuaded the half-grown child, “Let go of Mom first.”

Mu Er Pang finally let go, tears flowing freely down his chubby face like broken beads. He sobbed, “I-I’m not feeling unwell.”

“Then why are you crying so hard?”

Mu Er Pang wiped his tears, holding onto her sleeve. “I just feel uncomfortable in my chest.”

Mu Er Pang could speak very fluently now, so Shen Cui didn’t need to coax him to talk like she would with a young child. He slowly continued, “I don’t know what’s wrong, but when I think about what Grandma said earlier, my heart hurts, and I feel so uncomfortable.”

During the argument between Zheng Shi and Shen Cui, their voices had been getting louder and louder. Mu Er Pang, who was in the next room, naturally heard everything.

He had heard Zheng Shi say those things before. She had been scolding his father and his brother, but he had gotten used to it and didn’t think much of it.

The only thing that was somewhat new was when she suggested that his mother should remarry.

He had heard it before and just went back to sleep.

But for some reason, after taking that candy, he felt like his mind had suddenly become much clearer.

How should he put it? It was like a veil had been lifted from everything and everyone he had known before.

He felt isolated from this world, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him. All he needed to do was eat and sleep.

But now, that veil had been lifted, and a flood of overwhelming reality and unfamiliar emotions swept over him, leaving him at a loss.

After explaining the changes in his senses in a few words, Mu Er Pang asked Shen Cui, “Mom, am I sick?”

Shen Cui felt relieved and smiled, sitting back on the edge of the kang, explaining gently, “You’re not sick, you… have awakened. Mom doesn’t know how to explain it, but it’s a good thing, understand?”

Mu Er Pang thought for a while and actually nodded.

Although the current feeling was strange, in the past… it seemed like he wasn’t really living.

After nodding, Mu Er Pang suddenly looked nervous, “Mom, don’t listen to Grandma. Don’t go to someone else’s house, okay? I… I don’t want Mom to leave me. You stay with me, I will have a future…”

As he spoke, Mu Er Pang’s voice became lower and lower, almost like a mosquito’s buzz, clearly embarrassed.

Shen Cui’s face lit up.

Mu Er Pang had been so confused before, reluctant even to help fetch a doctor. He was ten years old, but mentally no more mature than a four or five-year-old. He was hard to communicate with and understand. Shen Cui had to coax and deceive him to get anything done.

Now, he seemed to understand more, and Shen Cui was overjoyed!

A child showing ambition was naturally a good thing. Shen Cui took the opportunity and asked with a smile, “Really? Mom wants you to study and take the imperial examination like your big brother. What do you think?”

Mu Er Pang was dumbfounded. He had just been thinking about…

Following the uncles into the city to learn skills “Didn’t you say in the past that it was useless for Big Brother to study?”
