You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 21 Lu Yuanqing Wants to Quit

The Niu family dared to scheme against Lu Yuanhuan.

If Lu's parents were still alive, would Niu Datou dare to scheme so blatantly?

Mr. Lu was determined to fight them to the death.

However, all those who could protect Lu Yuanhuan had unfortunately passed away, and her two remaining brothers were either weak and incompetent or impulsive and thoughtless, making them the easiest to deal with.

Lu Yuanqing suddenly thought that if he hadn't inadvertently stopped Lu Yuanbo from going to his death in the black market and hadn't brought back the grain, would Lu Yuanhuan's final fate have been to become Niu Datou's child bride?

Wait two or three years until she comes of age, then marry Niu Datou directly?

The more Lu Yuanqing thought about it, the more likely it seemed. His face turned ashen. Looking at Lu Yuanhuan, who was still comforting him not to be angry, he felt very uncomfortable.

The child-raising system was activated because Lu Yuanbo was saved.

Lu Yuanqing remembered that it said Lu Yuanbo was the beginning of the tragedy that would follow the Lu family.

If that's the case, then Lu Yuanhuan, and even Lu Mingxi and the others...

Lu Yuanqing had a headache!

Isn't it just a simple matter of raising cubs? Just feed them and that's it! Why are there so many worries?

"System, Lu Yuanhuan agreed to Niu Datou's offer because his family ran out of food and because of thirty catties of grain?" After Lu Yuanhuan left, Lu Yuanqing immediately called out to the system in his mind.

"Um, host, I can't tell you that. I will only tell you about Lu Yuanhuan's original life if you trigger and complete the hidden mission." System 666 was also helpless, but that was the rule set by the person who created it.

This time, Lu Yuanqing didn't make a fuss or say anything; he just quietly thought about what would happen in the future.

Raising cubs, raising cubs...

It's not enough to just raise them to adulthood!

This was the first time he had truly pondered the meaning of raising a child!

"Host, do you not want to do this anymore?!" System 666 sensed his emotions and hurriedly asked.

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

"Didn't I tell you not to steal my ideas? Does your system even respect human rights?"

"You're already thinking of backing out, and you're still arguing with me about human rights?" System 666 screamed, "I'm a system, not a person!"

"I know you're not human, no need to emphasize it!" Lu Yuanqing scoffed.

"Host, you still haven't answered me. Are you really thinking of running away?" System 666 wasn't so easily fooled. "No, no, host, you can't do that!"

Hey, you're cheating!

Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "I'm just doing it, and there's nothing you can do about it!"

A system with only hidden tasks can be treated as having no tasks at all.

"You...you don't want the grand prize anymore?" System 666's mechanical voice trembled slightly for no apparent reason.

Lu Yuanqing scoffed, "Three sixes? You probably don't know me. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would compromise myself for an unknown prize?"

To be honest, what interests him is knowing what the ultimate prize is, or rather, he simply wants to know what kind of grand prize the system can offer, rather than necessarily wanting to win it.

Lu Yuanqing's attitude towards life is that what is his is his, and what is not his, he will not force.

"Didn't you feel sorry for Lu Yuanhuan? You also thought it was good to have Lu Yuanbo as a younger brother. You had already accepted them, so why are you unwilling now?" System 666 was completely confused.

Although it had some emotions, it couldn't understand complex humans like Lu Yuanqing.

While they were eating steamed buns together, he thought to himself, "Lu Yuanbo is not bad." But when he got home and learned that Lu Yuanhuan had been tricked by a scoundrel, he was furious. For days afterward, he kept imagining putting a sack over Niu Datou's head.

But why did they change their minds so suddenly?

System 666 clearly sensed his desire to escape. Lu Yuanqing felt tired, annoyed, and wanted to... leave!

Such emotions immediately startled the system.

Lu Yuanqing let out a heavy sigh, not wanting to answer, nor bothered to correct the system's arbitrary probing of his thoughts.

He was genuinely exhausted.

So annoying!

He felt incredibly unlucky. He hadn't enjoyed his life to the fullest before he fell off a cliff and died. To make matters worse, he had to transmigrate. Transmigration had conditions, and those novel protagonists who could transmigrate with their eyes closed and without any requirements were just too enviable!

I'd also be willing to help raise the children.

It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. After all, it's still a life, and life is precious.

He was a bachelor for over twenty years, without a girlfriend, family, or children. He felt that in this day and age, ensuring that they didn't starve and lived to adulthood was enough to fulfill his mission.

But why does it seem like the world can't stand him? The food problem has been solved, but now there are other troublesome things happening?

Leaving aside Lu Yuanhuan, there are five nephews and nieces in the family. What kind of changes will happen to them in the future?

The thought of being like a mother hen, helping to deal with these troublesome matters, completely dampened Lu Yuanqing's mood and motivation.

Yes, it's because after spending some time together, Lu Yuanqing felt that Lu Yuanbo and the others were all quite nice, and he developed some feelings for them.

But I'm sorry, this feeling is simply not enough for him to maintain after anticipating the troubles to come.

Life is too hard, I'm exhausted.

So he was unhappy and wanted to quit!

The system detected this idea as soon as it came out; I'm impressed!
