When the female supporting character possesses a beauty system chp2

Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

Chapter 2: Daily Life

Tan You followed instructions precisely, quickly reading through all the task details. But she still didn’t understand. “System, how do I complete the mission?”

Tan You sensed the System pause for a moment before replying: “Once the Host is ready, inform the System. The System will then transport the Host into the mission. At that point, the Host will become the Client, living out their life—whether long or short—in their place.”

Tan You pondered this, trying to make sense of it with her limited knowledge. “Is it like being a character in a TV show? When I become her, what will I do?”

System: “That’s a close approximation.”

Tan You had another question. “But you just said I won’t be going there myself. So how will I get there? And can I come back?”

System: “The System will transport the Host’s soul into the Client’s body. No matter how much time passes for the Host, only a single moment will have elapsed in the real world.”

Tan You was amazed. “So… does that mean I’ll have endless time? Like I’m immortal?”

System: “In a sense, yes. However, a friendly reminder: the Host must ensure their safety during the mission. If the Host perishes in the mission world, it will also affect your physical body in the real world.”

Tan You nodded. “Got it. I won’t go right now. I’m not ready, and it’s not convenient for me to leave just yet.”

The System didn’t rush her. “Understood. But do you have anything else you need to do now?”

Tan You looked a little embarrassed. “My parents are leaving for C-Province tomorrow to work again. I want to wait until they’ve left before I start the mission. Besides, I want to study the task details more carefully. I want to do my absolute best. Don’t I have three days? I just need to leave within that timeframe.”

The System understood. “Very well. We’ll proceed when you’re ready.”

Tan You added, “System, you’re the best! I just want to earn more energy so I can increase my Intelligence stat.”

The System stirred. The senior systems on the forum had all complained about how their Hosts constantly exploited them. How had it ended up with a Host who was so easy to please? She just accepted everything it said.

At this thought, the Little System felt a surge of pride. Alright, since my Host is so well-behaved, I’ll do my best to help her!

As the two conversed, Tan You was now wide awake. Like a child with a new toy, she turned the details of the first mission over and over in her mind, studying them from every angle.

By around 5 AM, Tan You had thoroughly studied the first client’s life story. After reading it over and over dozens of times, she had a rough plan for what to do once she arrived in that world.

She wanted to discuss her ideas with the System, but while it could talk about other things, it was completely silent when it came to the mission itself. It would only repeat one line: “The Host must complete the mission independently.”

At that time, Tan You didn’t yet realize that her little system, which had fallen from the sky, was utterly useless. Perhaps because she didn’t know any better, she found this perfectly normal. If I have to rely on myself, then so be it. I’ll just have to work harder, won’t I?

Her mind was still on the mission when she heard movement from the west room. Tan You quickly knelt back down on the rush mat. Cheng Wenhui pushed the door open and, seeing Tan You kneeling properly, nodded in satisfaction.

“Get up. Wash your face, then do the laundry.”

Tan You immediately stood up without a word to Cheng Wenhui. She walked to the well, skillfully drew water, mixed in laundry powder, and began washing the clothes. These were chores she was used to, and her movements were clearly practiced.

Rural children almost all had to do these chores from a young age: raising chickens, feeding ducks, cooking, doing laundry, cleaning the house, and so on. Tan You had been doing them since she was little and never really resisted. If she had, she would have only earned a reputation for being lazy.

Cheng Wenhui wasn’t idle either; she went to the kitchen to cook. Summer breakfast was easy to make: boil a large pot of porridge and make a few flatbreads, and it would last from morning until evening.

But that was only if the weather was mild. If it was too hot, breakfast made in the morning would spoil by mid-afternoon. The Tan family was one of the poorest in the village; they couldn’t afford large appliances like a refrigerator or a washing machine.

Tan You squatted by the well, grunting with effort as she scrubbed a large basin of clothes—her parents’ and her younger sister’s. She hadn’t washed up yesterday after being punished by kneeling. After her parents left, she would need to boil some water for a bath.

As she thought about this, she expertly rinsed the clothes. By the time she started hanging them to dry, Cheng Wenhui had finished cooking breakfast. Tan Yue, Tan Lin, and their grandparents were all awake now.

Cheng Wenhui carried the breakfast to the folding table outside. Tan You took bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard, served her elders, and only then sat down at the table herself.

Once everyone was gathered, Cheng Wenhui announced, “We’re leaving for C-Province after breakfast. Tan Yue is coming with us. We’ll be back before school starts.”

“You’ll stay home this summer vacation,” she said, directing her words to Tan You. “If anything comes up with your school, call me.” Her gaze toward Tan You was cold, clearly still furious about her poor performance on the high school entrance exam.

Tan You simply nodded. She was always quiet at home, and no one ever listened seriously to what she had to say anyway. In their eyes, every word she spoke would eventually be twisted into a weapon to criticize and attack her.

Cheng Wenhui paid no mind to Tan You’s attitude. “You did terribly on your entrance exam this time. You missed the cutoff by just two points—you almost didn’t get into high school at all. At your age, what do you plan to do if you don’t study? Factories won’t even hire you; you’ll just end up back here farming.”

“And your eyesight is terrible. You can’t even tell the difference between rice seedlings and weeds when you’re weeding the fields. Besides studying, what else can you possibly do?” Cheng Wenhui launched into her daily lecture.

Previously, Tan You would have found it annoying, since her mother always repeated the same things. But after carefully reviewing the first client’s experiences last night, Tan You suddenly found herself truly listening to these words.

Of course, Tan You was never good with words. Even though her perspective had shifted, she wouldn’t show it verbally, so she simply continued to nod.

Cheng Wenhui sighed. “I won’t say any more. You’re already sixteen. Foreigners become independent after they turn eighteen. When you turn eighteen, we won’t take care of you anymore.”

Tan You looked up at Cheng Wenhui. With her literal-minded nature, she naturally took her mother’s words at face value.

Tan Lin chimed in, “Your mom’s right. Foreigners work to support themselves after they become adults. Our family will do the same. Once you’re an adult, you’ll earn your own money and support yourself.”

“And another thing,” he added, “think about how much money you’ve cost the family over the years. Even if we calculate it at just ten thousand yuan a year, after all these years we’ve raised you, you’ll have to pay us back.”

Tan You tightened her grip on her chopsticks but remained silent. She had inherited her grandfather Tan Deming’s quiet, reserved nature and rarely showed emotion. No matter how much turmoil she felt inside, no one could ever tell.
