The Buggiest System V1

She would then cook lunch, sufficient for her parents and herself. As she did this same routine morning after morning for a year already, she was already used to it.

At first, she complained incessantly to her parents about their laziness, thinking that since they didn"t do much at home, they were the same at their workplace.

As her parents were childish, they actually showed off all the work they did, making Zhou Zhenya take back what she said.

In the Zhou house, just in the bathroom would a mirror be seen. Since Zhou Zhenya didn"t feel the urge to go to the bathroom before now, only when she took a bath would she see her transformation.

After Zhou Zhenya finished her ch.o.r.es, she headed to the bathroom to bathe. She opened the door and looked around, not seeing the mirror anywhere. The mirror was on the wall behind the door, so it was no surprise to her that she didn"t see it.

Closing the door, she finally saw the sole mirror in the Zhou house.

"Who?"

Zhou Zhenya didn"t recognize the person in the mirror. Of course, she knew that since she was staring at the mirror directly, it should be her, but to Zhou Zhenya, that didn"t make sense.

"What? Who"s this? A prank?"

Zhou Zhenya grabbed the mirror carefully, twisting and turning it as she examined it. There were no signs of tampering, everything was the same as before!

As Zhou Zhenya couldn"t comprehend what was happening, she slapped herself in the face, the unknown person in the mirror mimicking her movements. Afterward, a slight red tint appeared on her cheek.

"Is... is this a dream?"

Thinking of this, she decided to pinch herself in every place possible, as hard as she could. Unfortunately, nothing happened, except for her feeling quite a sting in some places.

"This... is this me?"

Naturally, Zhou Zhenya knew of her below average appearance because every time she took a bath, this mirror would remind her of it. Now, this mirror was not mocking her in such a way anymore, making Zhou Zhenya feel anxious.

"What happened?"

.....

The Zhou parents always woke up at 8:00 am before they would go to work at nine. It was their biological alarm clocks that woke them up. If this biological alarm clock didn"t work for one of them, the other one would do the honor instead. If both of them didn"t wake up, Zhou Zhenya would do it herself.

In any case, they woke up properly this morning.

"Good morning, honey..."

The father, Zhou Jiahao, greeted his wife with a tone of sleepiness. However, she didn"t answer, pretending that she was still sleeping. She rolled over while groaning, making her back face her husband.

"Uhh..."

Zhou Jiahao was absentmindedly sitting on the bed as he just woke up. His brain wasn"t working properly yet, at least, not at its full capacity.

Walking off the bed, Zhou Jiahao made his way to the bathroom, when suddenly an unknown figure emerged from the room.

"Such a beautiful child!"

Zhou Jiahao was dazed, because even he, as an adult, was charmed by a child! However, it wasn"t enough for his junior to stand up.

"Safe...", he thought.

Snapping out of his daze, Zhou Jiahao looked at the small girl in confusion. Who was this kid, and how did she get inside?

Just as he was pondering, the child spoke.

"Dad... there"s a person in the mirror..."

As Zhou Jiahao heard the mysterious girl, he raised his eyebrow, indicating that he was even more confused than before. The voice sounded a little familiar to him. He responded to the little girl with a puzzled tone.

"Did... did you just call me "dad"?"

What a joke! I only have one daughter, and she"s not even close to your beauty!

Seeing that her father was looking at her skeptically, Zhou Zhenya"s theory was confirmed in her mind. This unknown person was indeed actually her!

"Dad, it"s me. Your daughter, Zhou Zhenya!"

Hearing this, Zhou Jiahao immediately felt worried. He retreated back to the kitchen which was facing the bathroom.

"Wh-who are you? How do you know my daughter"s name?"

Just as Zhou Zhenya was about to say her ident.i.ty to her father again, she suddenly stopped suddenly as if something struck her.

That"s right... I don"t have any way to prove that I"m truly Zhou Zhenya, his daughter...

Realizing this, Zhou Zhenya"s worried face disappeared and was replaced with a frown. Her mind was now full of negative thoughts, such as what would happen should her father never find out that she is actually Zhou Zhenya.

She put her hands behind her head and looked down, crouching in the process. In front of a door, there was suddenly a drop of water that fell on the floor.

Zhou Jiahao saw the drop and thought, "You thought you can trick me into pitying you, huh?"

"Stop crying and tell me who you are!"

With her head looking down, Zhou Zhenya"s face was not visible anymore. She forced a response out.

"Dad, I... I really am Zhenya."

Suddenly, Zhou Jiahao heard his daughter"s voice, seemingly coming from the direction that the beautiful girl was in. He ran towards her and pushed her aside.

"Out of the way!"

You must have hidden her inside the bathroom, huh?

Zhou Zhenya landed on the floor headfirst. She tried to suppress her cries, but it was too hard now.

Opening the door, Zhou Jiahao looked around the bathroom, shouting his daughter"s name.

"Little Ya! Zhenya, where are you?"

In the bedroom, Zhou Jiahao"s shouting could be heard. The wife of Zhou Jiahao, Zhou Xiang, woke up from her sleep.

Zhou Xiang stood up with urgency and rushed towards the bathroom.

.....

Meanwhile, in Zhou Lei"s bedroom, he could hear all the ruckus going on outside of his room. The system had given him a new quest.

Quest: Go to the bathroom (time limit: 10 minutes)

Description: You junior is pleading you, d.a.m.n ignorant fool! Do you want to wet your bed? Do popular guys wet their bed?! I think not!

Reward: 10 upgrade points, 1 lottery ticket

All this time, Zhou Lei had been holding it in. His bladder was probably about to explode as it was filled to the brim.

Now that the system was luring him with more rewards, he felt more tempted to go relieve himself.

"But they"re fighting there!" Zhou Lei retorted.

"System knows host"s deepest desires."

"That again?!"
