Just a magical girl who picks up trash

Very good, system, first explain to me what you were thinking when you said you would sleep in the same bed with me, and what about letting down your guard... Do you really think I have any purpose towards her?

Well, after thinking about it carefully, although he didn't like the girl in front of him and always felt that there was something evil about her, he did need her to 'complete the task', so in the end he could only swallow his complaints silently.

The most important thing was that when Zhao Yingcao unconsciously looked at the light screen in front of him that only he could see, he found that the reward for this mission was flashing on it: Meat +1 (Meat can be selected from poultry.)

Very good. Thinking about his small belly that hadn't eaten fresh meat for half a year, Zhao Yingcao could only say... For the sake of meat, he would bear it!

So... there was that patient explanation at this moment.

"..."

At the same time, listening to Zhao Yingcao's explanation, Qian Xin's face was indeed gloomy... Of course, this was not because she had any doubts about Zhao Yingcao, any unhealthy suspicions or anything like that, or any doubts about the other party's orientation. It was because in the 'original book', the other party was already taken, so Qian Xin naturally believed what Zhao Yingcao said.

So this wasn't the reason she was in a bad mood.

The two things that really made her feel so bad at this moment were: the first was that when she just woke up and saw the face so close to her, Qian Xin almost subconsciously wanted to kill the other person.

However, in the end, he thought about his own plan and the possibility that the other party would be completely defenseless against him on their first meeting, so he forced himself to hold back.

In fact, the other party woke up just after she stopped. It was such a coincidence no matter how you looked at it.

"As expected, you're still full of doubts about me?"

This idea is natural. After all, let alone her, even if it were someone else, it would be impossible for them to unconditionally trust those strangers for no reason, unless they were really an idiot.

It was natural for Zhao Yingcao to be suspicious of her. Qian Xin was even very clear that if she took action, the other party might even counterattack and kill her.

She still had a great revenge to take, and naturally she valued her life more when she was reborn. Therefore, although the opportunity was rare, Qian Xin finally forced herself to endure it.

But at this moment, the system suddenly popped up again, and without saying a word, a task was slapped on her face:

'Side Quest: Honesty'

'Task requirements: Since you are future best friends, you need to be honest with each other. When dealing with each other, please express your true feelings and don't pretend.'

"..."

So what does this mean? Don't pretend, express your true feelings.

But what is my mood?

Need I ask? Of course, I'm going to kill the guy opposite me. So, are you trying to expose my killing intent? System, you probably want me to be killed immediately so I can reunite with your immortal system, right?

I was full of complaints about this, and almost subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the system just in time refreshed the task reward:

"Mission Reward: Mental Strengthening Potion +1, Ice Ability Awakened!"

"..."

Let's not talk about the first one for now, and just talk about the ice-type ability at the back... As the owner of the water-type ability, Qian Xin certainly understands and knows very well how powerful this ability derived from the water-type mutation is.

It can even be said that if she really had this ice-type ability, then she could completely realize her desire to become stronger on her own, so this reward... she could not refuse.

And since I can't refuse, what can I do?

Directly show murderous intent to the other party?

Even if he wasn't beaten to death, his personality couldn't disguise it, so after thinking it over, Qian Xin could only show a cold face to Zhao Yingcao.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

The cold words seemed completely different from what he said last night. However, seeing the huge contrast between before and after, Zhao Yingcao was obviously stunned. It was not because he was frightened by the other party's change, but after a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke:

"Are you... not pretending anymore?"

This one sentence made Qian Xin frown instantly... So the other party had already discovered it?

Or had he already seen through the scheme he had set up and the disguise of his own personality? In other words, everything he had shown before was actually just waiting for the seriousness of the UI room... just like a monkey show?

When he thought of this, coupled with his hatred for Zhao Yingcao, the murderous intent in his body almost burst out uncontrollably again.

Seeing this, Zhao Yingcao immediately became alert. However, for a long while, he didn't see any intention of the other party to attack. At this time, he heard Qian Xin ask in a voice that was suppressed with great effort:

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Since he had already discovered me, why did he not only save me but also bring me back and let the wolf into the house?

Qian Xin asked this question, and Zhao Yingcao understood it. After thinking about it, she still spoke:

"The first reason is that we are indeed lacking a water-type mutant. The second reason is... I don't know you."

As she said this, she looked seriously at Qian Xin in front of her, and said with the same cold tone:

"I don't know you, but I sense a strong murderous aura and resentment towards me from you. I'm curious as to how I offended you... Of course, that's not important. What's important is... Why didn't you kill me just now, given the circumstances?"

Just now, when she was sleeping, she clearly felt the other party's murderous intent. She originally thought that he was about to attack, but she never expected that the other party would stop at the critical moment.

Of course, this is definitely not the so-called reason. The actual reason is that Zhao Yingcao knew that the other party was a bad guy, but for the sake of the mission, she just made up an excuse on the spur of the moment.

"If you can't kill him, acting rashly will only lead to your own destruction."

Now that everything has been laid out, Qian Xin naturally has nothing to worry about.

This is the enemy's base camp, and her current strength is not as good as the enemy. In this situation, if Zhao Yingcao really wants to take action, she can't escape or hide, so Qian Xin can only answer honestly.

"Well, self-knowledge..."

Zhao Yingcao nodded in agreement with the other party's answer, but soon asked another question:

"So, if it's convenient now, can you tell me your purpose?"

Such a direct question made Qian Xin roll his eyes. What should I say?

Should I just tell the other person honestly that I am here to get close to you, first increase your favorability to the maximum, and then give you the final blow after making you deserted by everyone?

If I really say it out loud, it's impossible for us to be friends. Even fighting each other would be the least of our worries.

Qian Xin didn't say anything, but waited for a long time until the system's voice came out. After he seemed to have some understanding of the task details, he immediately said in a deep voice:

"I was being hunted and needed a place to hide. I just happened to meet you..."

This explained the reason why the two met, etc. As for whether the other party believed it or not, Qian Xin didn't care. When Zhao Yingcao raised her eyebrows, she continued:

"As for the rest, it's simple. I can only be safe if I stay with you, so I have to find a way to sneak in."

She said this, but Zhao Yingcao was a little stunned:

"If you're being chased, it's safer to stay with me. Who said that?"

"intuition!"

Very good, it looks like we won’t be able to continue chatting today.

168. get along

There was no friendship between the two of them, and Qian Xin even had murderous intentions towards Zhao Yingcao. Under such circumstances, it was obviously impossible for them to get along harmoniously. However, since the other party had said so, although it was impossible to believe that it was just intuition, it at least meant that the other party could not do without him in the short term.

Although she didn't know what the basis was, Zhao Yingcao thought about it carefully and felt that this didn't seem to be a big deal. Instead, it just happened to fit her mission. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly said:

"In that case, how about we cooperate?"

As she said this, Qian Xin was slightly taken aback by her sudden words. She pointed at herself in disbelief.

"You and me? Collaborate?!"

No, my murderous intent is so obvious, even a fool would know that my goal is to kill you. It's already bad enough that you didn't attack me at this time, but now you're actually talking about cooperation... Are you kidding me?!

Subconsciously, he wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, this seemed to be a good opportunity to stay in the team... Since the other party clearly felt his murderous intent but was not afraid, it meant that he was very confident, and only such a person would be truly desperate after being betrayed.

The thought in her mind suddenly became clear, and finally, suppressing the urge to act, she looked at Zhao Yingcao and asked:

"What cooperation?"

This was considered a compromise, but Zhao Yingcao continued speaking as expected:

"I know you want to kill me, but it seems you can't do it now because I can protect your 'intuition'. And sooner or later, you might attack me... Of course, I won't just sit there and wait for death."

But that kind of thing won't happen at least now. Whether it's her mission or the other party's goal, both sides need it. Zhao Yingcao obviously thought of a way to maximize the benefits at the first time, and immediately spoke decisively:

"At least before you decide to kill me, let's cooperate... You can be a water-type esper in my team peacefully, and I will protect your safety during this period until you want revenge."

If I can't make the other party turn over a new leaf in the end, and Qian Xin completely turns evil, then it is obvious that Zhao Yingcao will be her enemy. Therefore, there is no loophole in this guarantee. Of course, if I succeed... will the other party still have the intention to kill me?

Zhao Yingcao thought of all kinds of plans in his mind, and immediately looked at Qian Xin, waiting for the other party's answer.

Zhao Yingcao had different ideas. After hearing the other party's request for cooperation, Qian Xin also had some thoughts in mind:

"This is indeed a good opportunity to get closer to them. Although directly revealing my personality is somewhat different from my previous plan, if I can openly integrate into this team, it will be much easier later on."

And the most important thing is that her goal is to become the other person's best friend, and then to turn against the people around the other person. If that's the case, then she naturally can't leave now, so why not...

The two of them, each with their own hidden agenda, inadvertently met each other's gazes. Unaware of the connection between their systems, they finally thought for a moment before Qian Xin nodded.

"it is good!"

There were no extra words, just this simple word fell, and Zhao Yingcao turned around without any pause and walked towards the door, saying as he walked without looking back:

"It's a promise, now that we've made it, at least we're teammates now, so... come down for breakfast later."

He said this casually, but since this had already been exposed, Qian Xin obviously did not hide his bad mood, and responded with a sneer:

"Yes, yes, Captain!"

The discussion about identity ended here. After sorting out her emotions, Qian Xin obviously got up from the bed quickly. She casually glanced at the system and found that her task had been completed. This made her mood seem to finally improve a little. She hurriedly turned on the light curtain and concentrated on studying her new ability.

Naturally, she didn't go downstairs to eat breakfast. Qian Xin obviously didn't care about it. In her mind, it was very obvious that the most important thing had always been to become stronger, so strong that she could take revenge on those people who had bullied her, and no one could bully her in Chengdu anymore.

With this thought in mind, Qian Xin tried hard to lose herself in introspection, but was soon interrupted again.

"Have a meal!"

I didn't eat breakfast, but I didn't expect the other party to bring it to me directly. Qian Xin obviously didn't expect this, so she immediately opened her eyes and looked at the other party with some suspicion.

I always feel that this guy, even after seeing through me, his attitude towards me... isn't it a little too friendly?

But after all, they are now in an "alliance" relationship, so Qian Xin tried hard to suppress the murderous intent in his heart.

"Thank you!"

Zhao Yingcao replied with just two simple words, but she had already turned and left. At the same time, a voice flashed through her mind: Mission accomplished...

very good!

A faint smile appeared uncontrollably on the corner of his mouth. Not to mention that he didn't dare to think about asking Qian Xin to turn over a new leaf, Zhao Yingcao didn't even have a guarantee whether it could be accomplished in the end.

Therefore, she had to make secondary preparations, that is, to think of ways while silently relying on the other party to "brush the task". In short, she had to get what she could get first. Even if she failed, at least she would make a profit!

While he was trying his best to fleece Qian Xin, and hopefully tame the whole sheep in the end, Qian Xin was also mentally preparing to find time to poach the other team members, etc. With their own ulterior motives, Zhao Yingcao had already left the room until Qian Xin finished breakfast.

Qian Xin was happily counting the gains from his first task, but Zhao Yingcao naturally also needed to count his own as soon as possible. After all, he completed two tasks in one morning...it wasn't a loss.

In the dark, Yu and Yu Huan watched everything. After a long while, they looked at each other in bewilderment. But it was Ye Chen who spoke first:

"Honestly, if this were a novel, the psychological activities of these two people would occupy at least half of the story!"

It's not mind reading, but it's not difficult for the system to capture each other's thoughts when the two people don't deliberately hide it. Therefore, Yu and Yuhuan can know what the two people have just imagined.

At this moment, Yu Huan didn't say much about Yu Huan's complaints, but responded casually with relish:

"Read on, I'm starting to get interested in this 'story'!"

She said this, but the story here was obviously still going on.

Zhao Yingcao's mission goal is to make Qian Xin, the 'evil guy', turn over a new leaf. Since he wants to do that, the first thing he should do is to build a close relationship with the other party, so that it will be easier to deceive him... No, it will be easier to dissuade him in the future.

Qian Xin's goal was to become Zhao Yingcao's best friend, and she obviously would not refuse the other party's initiative to show goodwill. Even after a few days of forced training, her murderous intentions towards Zhao Yingcao were gradually and perfectly concealed.

Then, in this joyful atmosphere, a task worth two systems' worth of ingenuity instantly made the atmosphere much better... At least there was no need to worry about a falling out someday.

During this period, as the two of them had deliberate contact, they naturally became more familiar with each other.

In Zhao Yingcao's eyes, the other party was not very old, and the reason why he "turned bad" was probably due to some experiences in his childhood. Therefore, he had some ideas about his "turning over a new leaf".

And because Qian Xin herself looked petite and delicate, she gave Zhao Yingcao a strange feeling of being "cultivated".

The most important thing is that this is not an illusion. Even after that, the system began to release some "cultivation" tasks. Zhao Yingcao complained every time, but he still had to fall under the temptation of rewards.

There is no way, the system gives too much!

On the other hand, Qian Xin was naturally the same. She could keenly feel that Zhao Yingcao was deliberately being nice to her. Although she didn't know why, as long as it did not conflict with her own purpose, Qian Xin was naturally happy to do so.

The closer the relationship, the more painful the other person will be when you betray them in the end... Qian Xin, who has always been firm in this idea, did not expect that if this situation really continued, not to mention the other person's mood, even her own mood would not be able to remain unchanged.

Just as Yu Huan had mentioned before, "watching a show", in fact it was really like watching a show. Apart from occasionally coming up with a task that was neither big nor small, the two of them had no intention of participating in the love-hate plot between the two.

In this situation, as time passed, one day when the complicated relationship between the two was maintained and Qian Xin finally integrated into the superpower team, something unexpected happened... suddenly.
