Chapter 561: Chapter 548: Embroidering ‘Flowers

Needlework was always Zhuang Qingning’s Achilles’ heel. Although she could handle sewing shoe soles because it was a task of mechanical precision that could be done with brute strength and a minute level of skill

But the matter of embroidery…

The embroidery needle was so small, the patterns so complex, changing and pressing the thread over and over while making sure the pattern and colour matched. It was too hard!

Just now, Zhuang Qingning, clutching her embroidery needle, had intensely scrutinized her work and out of sheer frustration, had for the thirteenth time, undone her messy embroidery.

The embroidery had been perforated beyond recognition by Zhuang Qingning’s relentless needlework, particularly one small section, which had been embroidered and undone so many times that it was now riddled with small holes.

Zhuang Qingning, having no other alternative, had to start on a new section of the cloth.

However, even after changing sections, her hand holding the needle hesitated to stab into the material.

They say persistence pays off, but this period of persistence was proving to be unbearable, completely shattering her confidence.

Zhuang Qingning was visibly frustrated, and after glaring at the embroidery needle and frame for a while, suddenly gripped the needle tightly and began to furiously needle the cloth.

Quickly, a character resembling “flower” arranged by matchsticks was created – or rather made – with a continuous line.

[Ding, congratulations Host on completing the daily task, embroidery, according to the Host’s speed and quality of task completion, the Host is awarded 103 diligence points.]

Great.

Embroidery, indeed the character “flower”, and there’s no issue with that.

[…]

[Can I say that the System definitely has a bug, which the Host is exploiting?]

The task name was embroidery, dare you say this isn’t a flower I am embroidering?

[… Indeed, it IS a flower, not a grass.]

Isn’t that settled then?

So, by the literal interpretation, there’s nothing wrong with what I did, right?

[…in the face of this, I truly have no rebuttal.]

[So, no issue?] (Smiling giddily)

Seeing that specific system hadn’t resolutely refuted her, Zhuang Qingning nodded in satisfaction and prepared to ask for the next daily task.

[Ding, Host has completed the task, Lend a Helping Hand, Host has received corresponding task reward, Diagram, Improved Loom]

[Ding, Host has completed random task, Good Samaritan, Host has received corresponding task reward, Diagram, Improved Spinning Machine.]

The two messages resounded back-to-back in her mind, and Zhuang Qingning was surprised.

She knew about the task Lend a Helping Hand – to help Zhuang Yutian and Meng find a supply source and solving the various problems the cloth shop was facing.

But this Good Samaritan task…

[This task was to solve Cheng Ruize’s oversupply of cloth problem.] A specific system timely reminded her.
