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

Chapter 6: Solving the Food Problem and Activating the System

At the foot of the old locust tree at the entrance of Shihua Village, Gu Hewang had been waiting for almost two hours, but the person who was supposed to arrive had not yet come.

Rubbing his numb legs from squatting, Gu Hewang cursed and swore at Lu Yuanbo for his lack of integrity.

He completely forgot that Lu Yuanbo had never given him a definite answer.

"Damn Lu Yuanbo, he didn't fall for it."

Finally, unable to wait any longer, he could only drag his numb legs slowly home.

It's alright, no rush. Given the current situation of the Lu family, Lu Yuanbo will make up his mind sooner or later. Maybe he'll even be begging me to take him there.

The thought of Lu Yuanbo's fate made Gu Hewang burst into laughter. His wicked laughter terrified a group of timid people, and the next day everyone was asking about the strange laughter.

But right now, Lu Yuanbo, whom Gu Hewang was thinking about, was excitedly telling his family about the source of the food.

“Sister Baoxia gave it to us.”

"Really, why would I lie to you! My third brother and I carried it back together."

"She's our future sister-in-law. She helped us when we were out of food. What are you all thinking?"

Not everyone in the family is as brainless as Lu Yuanbo. Seeing the grain only deepened their suspicions.

"If you don't believe me, ask Third Brother! He's the one who asked me to go with him!" Lu Yuanbo sat down speechlessly, unable to bear the constant questioning from his sisters, nieces, and nephews.

"Third Brother, did Sister Baoxia really give us this grain?" Lu Yuanhuan asked worriedly.

Her suspicion about the source of the food was perfectly reasonable.

After all, given the current situation, it's truly unexpected that someone would be so generous as to give them so much food.

Please, for someone like Uncle Lu, giving him a few kilograms would be normal, okay?

When given a hundred catties of grain at once, Lu Yuanhuan stared at the two bags of grain, feeling no joy, but rather fear.

Where did it come from? Could there be a problem? Did my third and fourth brothers do something bad?

A mechanical voice snapped Lu Yuanqing out of his reverie, and he said, "It was indeed given to me by Gu Baoxia, but..."

Lu Yuanqing looked around at everyone in the room with a serious expression, and said in a stern tone, "No one is allowed to go out and talk about this. If people find out that we have so much grain, it will inevitably attract thieves."

"I won't tell," Lu Mingnan immediately covered his mouth and promised.

Seeing this, Lu Yuanqing smiled with relief. Of all the times they had spent together, Lu Mingnan was the most obedient and always the first to make promises. However, although he looked only four years old, he was actually already six.

Malnourished and never getting enough to eat, he looks young.

"Don't worry, Uncle. I'm not stupid. I would never tell anyone that my family has grain," Lu Mingxi said.

"I won't say!" Lu Mingdong said calmly.

Lu Yuanqing had only been here a short time and his memories of his family were unreliable, so he didn't know much about his eldest brother's eldest daughter and eldest son. However, there was plenty of time, and he would eventually find out.

It has to be said that the Lu family's food shortage crisis has been temporarily resolved, and Lu Yuanqing's tense nerves have been relaxed considerably.

Patting Lu Mingnan's head beside him, Lu Yuanqing said to Lu Yuanhuan in a good mood, "Is there any hot water at home? Make a bowl of malted milk powder for everyone to replenish their energy. Starting tomorrow, little sister, cook your meals a little drier so everyone will have more energy."

“During this period, everyone in the family has been going hungry. If we don’t replenish our bodies properly, I’m worried that it will damage our health.”

"Hmm!" Lu Yuanhuan was also happy. She trusted Lu Yuanqing, and her doubts about the source of the grain dissipated. Although she still had some doubts about why Gu Baoxia had so much grain, where it came from, and why she was willing to give it to them.

"I'll go boil some water, but Third Brother, we still need to conserve food. We can always add a little more rice." Let's skip the dry rice!

One hundred jin of grain seems like a lot, and it sounds like a lot, but their family is large, with eight mouths to feed, so it won't last long.

Lu Yuanqing opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

We still don't have enough food at home. If we had more, we wouldn't have to be so careful with our food.

Lu Yuanhuan was doing this for the good of her family. The little girl was young, but she had mastered Lu's mother's skill in calculating food supplies for the day.

Each person had a bowl of malted milk powder, and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

The twins were also brought out and drank eagerly, sip by sip.

"This malted milk powder is so delicious! I wish I could drink it every day!" Lu Yuanbo exclaimed.

Lu Mingbei and Lu Mingzhong followed suit, smacking their lips, "It's so delicious!"

Lu Yuanhuan drank it with great relish, but his eyes were fixed on the grain, and he was very happy: If we have this grain, we can just hold on until the autumn harvest!

The whole family was drinking malted milk powder like it was fine wine. Lu Yuanqing found it both amusing and a little sad. He shook his head, downed his own in one gulp, and said, "After you finish drinking, go to bed early! We have to go to work tomorrow!"

After saying that, he walked towards his room, still thinking about the mechanical voice!

Has his cheat code arrived?

The Lu family only has three rooms. Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi sleep in one room with their twins, Lu Yuanbo sleeps in another room with Lu Mingdong and Lu Mingnan, and Lu Yuanqing has a private room.

Back in his room, Lu Yuanqing lay on the bed and began to mentally invoke the system.

"System, System Master? Come out!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully activated the system. I am the Raising Baby System 666."

"Oh my god, my golden finger! Why are you so late! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you? You're so slow! So, is there a newbie gift pack?" Lu Yuanqing was extremely excited and said a lot, but only the last sentence was what he really wanted to know.

System!

I'm relieved. I don't have to worry about not being able to support my child or myself anymore.

"Ding, it is not advisable to gain something for nothing. There is no newbie gift pack that the host wants."

Lu Yuanqing pouted, "Stingy! You're so stingy! You're supposed to be a system that helps me reach the pinnacle of life, right? Why are you being so unreasonable!"

"Ding, this system is not the Dragon Overlord System. As I said, I am the Raising Cubs System. As long as the host raises the cubs well and helps them grow into successful adults, he/she will receive the ultimate prize."

"A child-raising system?" Lu Yuanqing's excited heart immediately calmed down.

He was so surprised by the system that he didn't pay attention to its explanation.

"Ding, yes, this system is a baby-raising system. Let's raise our babies to be successful together."

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

Did he stir up trouble?

The original owner gave up the body on the condition that he raise his children.

The system I've acquired is also for raising my offspring.

Please, whose system is this anyway?!

"Then what do you mean by successful activation? Are you testing me? If I don't find a way to get food for the family and let them starve to death, then it can't be activated?" Lu Yuanqing said incredulously.

"Ding, no, it's because you changed the outcome of Lu Yuanbo being shot and the beginning of the Lu family's tragedy that this system was successfully activated!"

Mucang died?

Lu Yuanqing was stunned by these two words. System, what did you say? Who was shot dead?
