Chapter 7: The Ungrateful Adoptive Sister, A Detailed Introduction to the System

After Song Mo broke free from the green tea boy and the sycophantic girl.

He went straight to the school parking lot.

He drove himself back to the Song Family.

He got his driver's license during the summer vacation when he turned eighteen.

The car was bought with his pocket money.

The family's driver refused because he thought it was too showy.

He drove to the Song Family.

Song Mo opened the gate lock with ease and arrived before a refined villa.

After entering, he changed his shoes and planned to go to his bedroom to thoroughly study his system—this was the treasure that could reverse his fate and let him rise above humiliation.

"Xiao Mo, why run straight to your room as soon as you get home? Aren't you eating?"

A gentle female voice.

She was the orphan adopted by Song Mo's parents, Song Mo's adoptive sister, Song Wanrou.

In his past life, Song Wanrou had always been a proper sister until Chen Xi set his sights on her and went to her university to flirt.

Song Wanrou loved flowers and plants, so Chen Xi read several books just to have common topics, constantly portraying himself as a flower enthusiast.

Song Wanrou fell for him quickly.

And, without suspicion, she was tricked by Chen Xi into revealing the Song Family's business secrets.

This laid the fuse for the Song Family's eventual destruction.

Song Mo hated Song Wanrou.

He had warned her multiple times to stay away from Chen Xi—he was up to no good—but she always thought Song Mo was jealous because his sister was being taken by an outsider.

Because before Song Wanrou met Chen Xi,

she and Song Mo had always gotten along very well.

Before his bedroom door, Song Mo stopped.

Hearing that familiar gentle voice, he felt no warmth—only annoyance.

Compared to outsiders scheming to destroy you, it's the family member who stabs you in the back that truly breaks your heart.

【Parents shouldn't have adopted this ungrateful wolf; originally, they wanted to adopt a sister who could take care of me and wouldn't compete with me for the family inheritance】

【But over all these years, has Song Wanrou ever taken care of me? Everything at home is done by servants; she only likes locking herself in her room to read】

【When those women colluded to suppress the Song Family, I didn't withhold any information from her—I clearly told her everything was tied to Chen Xi—but she never believed me; instead, she obeyed Chen Xi's words and leaked the Song Family's business secrets】

【This woman is truly disgusting—when I had the upper hand and was crushing Chen Xi, she came crying to beg for mercy, talking about brother-sister bonds; but when I was being colluded against by those women, she sat on the sidelines and showed not a single ounce of concern】

【Forget it—later, I'll just find some excuse to kick her out of the Song Family; out of sight, out of mind】

Song Mo lifted his head calmly.

"You eat on your own—I ate at school today."

Then he locked the bedroom door from inside.

Hearing the cold sound of the door locking, Song Wanrou stood frozen in place.

She was a woman of great poise and gentleness.

Her long hair fell loosely over her shoulders, her bangs slightly revealing her forehead; her pale face belonged to the type of gentle, neighborly older sister.

At this moment, Song Wanrou's spirit was violently shaken.

Why? Could she somehow hear her brother's thoughts?

She had always believed her relationship with Song Mo was good, but she never expected…

"Does my brother really hate me this much?"

"Does he think I'm an ungrateful wolf?"

"Does he think I'm disgusting?"

"Does he want to kick me out of the Song Family?"

A bone-deep chill spread from her chest to her spine, to her soles… Song Wanrou felt utterly cold, as if trapped in an ice cellar during the scorching summer.

An inexplicable resentment rose in her heart.

Why were all these years of emotion false?

Why did the little brother who once followed her around wear a false mask?

She didn't want to be kicked out!

The Song Family provided her with excellent living conditions—that was one reason.

More importantly, she had lived in the Song Family since childhood; Song's father and mother treated her well, and Song Mo was the boy she had watched grow up.

Song Wanrou furrowed her brows.

After her emotions calmed slightly, she remembered the oddity in Song Mo's thoughts—he mentioned someone named "Chen Xi," but she didn't know anyone by that name!

The Song Family hadn't collapsed…

Song Mo hadn't been bullied…

After sorting through the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Song Wanrou gradually pieced together a shocking clue…

All of this had never happened…

Song Wanrou's imagination ran wild; though she mostly read literary classics, she had also dabbled in web novels, and two words immediately popped into her mind:

"Rebirth!"

If this were true, then perhaps she truly had wronged Song Mo—and even the Song Family.

Song Wanrou felt deeply pained and lost her appetite.

Back at the dining table, Song Wanrou tapped her chopsticks but ultimately had no appetite.

"Lin Sao, I'm not hungry—I won't eat."

Song Wanrou trudged listlessly into her bedroom.

She tossed and turned on the bed.

Suddenly she sat up.

"No, I must find out exactly what happened. My brother said the one who harmed him was called 'Chen Xi'—which Chen Xi?"

……

Song Mo opened the system he had acquired.

He was reviewing the system's detailed description.

Life Achievement System—

One,

The Learning System module grants Song Mo Transcendental learning ability; through reading, practice, instruction, or transmission from others, Song Mo gains proficiency.

Theoretically, there is nothing Song Mo cannot learn!

Proficiency is divided into Novice, Beginner, Proficient, Master, Transcendental.

Five stages in total.

When reaching the Transcendental stage, one transcends the human realm and gains Transcendental power.

For example, if culinary skill reaches Transcendental, one can produce food that glows like Xiao Dangjia's, and food that immerses the eater in specific emotions!

Two,

The Achievement System module requires Song Mo to generate a certain social influence, gain status and recognition, and fulfill Achievement System requirements to receive rewards!

There are four stages in total!

They are: Rising Fame, Household Name, Nationally Respected, Universally Known!

Rising Fame requires fame like a top internet celebrity!

Household Name requires fame like a superstar like Chen Long!

Nationally Respected requires fame like the Father of Rice!

Universally Known may require fame like the President of Piaoliang Guo!

Though the rewards are unclear, judging by the difficulty of the requirements, they will surely not disappoint Song Mo!

Song Mo's heart burned with passion.

In his past life, even after awakening his memories, he ultimately could not resist power and was crushed by Chen Xi's harem.

Reborn once more, with the system's aid, can he defy the overwhelming force of the plot's inertia? Can he change his fate and rise triumphant?

He must try to find out!
