Chapter 76: 24. Dried-Up Woman, Buck Up!_2

The little snake flicked its pink, translucent tongue and said to An Le,

"Do you know about the Golden Finger?"

"I... I guess, I’ve read a lot of novels from Dragon Country..."

"I am the Golden Finger, you can call me a cheat or a system, either way, I am here to help you fulfill your wishes."

"To fulfill my wishes?"

"Yes, you are the main character of this world, the Child of Fate, you can do whatever you want."

The little snake flicked its tongue and coiled around An Le’s arm, twisting and spiraling towards her,

[I can grant you the power to control sensations, you can manipulate anyone’s pleasure, pain...]

As the snake spiraled up, a tingling sensation followed by itchiness, pain, and then...

An Le’s face flushed slightly, and her body involuntarily softened.

But that feeling was fleeting, quickly receding like a tide.

[In return, you must show me the fulfillment of your wishes.]

[One by one, the small ones, the grand ones, the easy ones, the impossible ones, fulfill them all.]

[As you use it, the powers I can give you will grow stronger... until they evolve.]

Sweet as the apple Eve stole, the words of the white snake suddenly stopped, then the tone shifted,

[But be cautious, extremely cautious. You mustn’t let anyone else know you possess this ability, you must never be discovered.]

An Le swallowed, asking subconsciously,

"What happens if...?"

Then we’re all doomed in an instant!

They, these fingers, along with this whole world.

No one outside the owner of the finger should know of the finger’s existence, that’s the rule set by that deity...

"If it could be discovered, could it still be considered a Japanese drama?"

So said the deity.

That’s the main reason.

As for the second reason...

"What do you think? What would happen if others discovered you had this kind of special ability?"

"Would be captured for research... or something?"

"Not too dumb."

The little snake flicked its tongue, giving An Le a glance,

"More likely that they’d kill you after the research fails!"

Though it itself wouldn’t die, having to find a new host and start over would slow it down compared to other fingers.

It had initially planned to bind to a woman named Tong Yingying, who already knew its purpose but still chose to give up owning it...

Thus, it was heavily injured.

Only thing to say is, luckily it wasn’t fully bound, otherwise it would have been done for.

Now it had no choice but to settle for the next best option, running to this dried-up girl in front of it.

"So, do you want my help?"

"I..."

An Le opened her mouth, looking at the little snake in front of her.

Watching it flick its tongue, her own distorted reflection in its crimson snake eyes,

"Are you sure you want to be bullied for the rest of your life? From elementary school, middle school, up to now..."

"..."

"Are you sure you want to remain a coward forever, too afraid to even talk to him and regain your memories, just to watch him be with other women?"

"No... it’s not like that!"

As she listened, An Le suddenly seized her hands and vehemently retorted,

"I just... want to recognize him... as for who he likes, I..."

No, girl...

I’ve laid it all out, and you tell me this?!

How is this different from having the ability to stop time but using it to extend study periods?

Damn, with such superpowers, you’re still thinking about "If you are well, it is a sunny day" right?

Alright, alright...

The little snake, its face darkening, slapped her hand and muttered,

"Spineless!! It’s not just about that Yan Huan, I tell you, you can mess with whoever you want!! Can’t you be a bit more ambitious!? Afraid to even think it?"

"But, I only..."

"Smack, smack, smack, smack!"

Before she could finish her sentence, the little snake’s tail came at her like a whirlwind.

An Le quickly protected the back of her hand, yelping in an attempt to stop it,

"No... don’t slap me anymore... I... I accept your help!"

The snake, too, was quite infuriated and gasped out,

"How could I, so clever, have taken such a good-for-nothing like you?! Let me tell you, from today on, you need to toughen up!"

"Whoever bullies you next time, you take them down hard!

"Whoever you fancy, turn them into your slave, just like characters in the games you play!"

An Le opened her mouth, actually wanting to say "How can stuff from games be applied to reality?"

But seeing how agitated it was, she didn’t dare to say more.

So she asked,

"Little snake... since you can talk, do you have a name?"

"...You can call me [Little Thumb]."

"That’s a weird name."

An Le touched its head but was snappily swatted away.

Unperturbed, An Le just said the words she hadn’t managed to finish earlier,

"Little Thumb... what I was going to say is, although what you say sounds powerful, if it’s only the ability to manipulate pleasure and pain, it seems like you can’t really do much..."

"..."

Little Thumb paused for a moment, almost flustered by An Le’s simple remark,

"What do you mean?! Are you despising me for being weak?! I’m smart enough to help you easily!"

"No... not at all, I was just saying it as it is..."

"Nonsense! And besides, this is just the initial ability! It will grow stronger as you use it more!!"

"Uh..."

But even if it grows stronger, isn’t it still completely useless?
