"System, can you please speed things up for me, old friend?"
"It takes ten days for each female lead to arrive, and there are so many of them. It'll take two months for all of them to get here!"
"Also, when will my background finish loading? Give me a straight answer."
In the CEO's office of Caiying Beauty.
Gu Chenan leaned back on the sofa, helplessly questioning the system.
He hadn't rushed the system before because he needed to buy a company and a house. Now that the house was being renovated and he had taken over the company, all that remained were the system's rewards.
"The next female lead will be transferred in four days. The host's background has loaded to 56%. It will be fully loaded in at most seven more days. Please be patient," the system replied in its usual emotionless, official tone.
"Tsk." Gu Chenan clicked his tongue and said, "Think about it. I've known you the longest. When I first crossed over into this novel world, weak, pitiful, and helpless, who gave me a sense of security? Who encouraged and motivated me to grow every time I felt discouraged?"
"Who accompanied and comforted me when I was all alone?"
"Who patiently explained the function of each skill to me, who tirelessly calculated my performance scores?"
"And who wholeheartedly wished for my well-being, only wanting me to complete my performance and return to the real world?"
As he spoke, Gu Chenan's nose twitched and his eyes reddened: "It was you! It was you! It was all you!"
"It's precisely because of this that I brought you back to the real world. And it's because of this that my feelings for you are not just those of a system and its host. I've long since considered you my safe harbor, my tender lover!"
"To be honest, even if the whole world betrayed me, I know you would stand firmly by my side!"
"Because you will always be my system, and I will always be your host. We will be together forever."
Gu Chenan spoke with such "sincerity" and with tears in his eyes that he almost believed it himself.
Earlier, Gu Chenan had already sensed that this unlucky system of his wasn't just a mechanical creation. She had her own thoughts and could be influenced by the outside world.
The reason he said so many cringe-worthy, cheesy lines was to test the system.
After Gu Chenan gave the system this small but earth-shattering shock, the system fell completely silent.
After waiting for a long time without hearing a response from the system, Gu Chenan asked curiously, "System, are you still there?"
A semi-transparent light screen appeared in front of Gu Chenan.
An interface similar to a dialogue box appeared. On the interface, the system replied with an ellipsis.
"......"
Gu Chenan was stunned, wondering why the system wasn't talking to him directly and instead chose to communicate this way.
"Why don't you speak? What's with just typing and not talking?" Gu Chenan asked.
The interface was silent for a moment, then replied: "It's easy to know heaven......"
"?"
Gu Chenan was stunned and immediately asked, "What does that mean?"
The system replied: "But hard to defy fate......"
Gu Chenan: ?
Damn, when did the system learn to use internet slang?
Is it because it's adapting to this world, or could it always do this?
"Did you even listen to what I said? Can you speed things up a bit?" Gu Chenan asked.
Another line of text appeared on the interface.
"You really think I'm omnipotent, don't you? I'm already working hard to load everything for you. Can you stop rushing me? Do you know how difficult it is to bring in the female leads? And your background is incredibly hard to load."
"No, you don't know. You don't know anything. You just keep pressuring me, saying all those mushy things. You only care about yourself. You're selfish!"
Looking at the text on the interface, Gu Chenan was dumbfounded.
This was the first time the system had expressed its opinion of him, further confirming Gu Chenan's deduction.
This damn system was definitely a real person!
Even if she didn't have a physical body, her inner self was undoubtedly human!
Gu Chenan's mind raced, and he quickly said, "By the way, now that I've brought you to the real world, you can't just exist in my mind like in the novel world, right? Why don't you come out and we can meet face to face? The bed in the new villa is quite big."
System: ......
"You can forget about that. I don't know what you're thinking, but to set your sights on me... that's really pushing it."
Although the system rejected Gu Chenan, one thing could be discerned from its words!
That is, the system really could appear in physical form!
However, this system girl had no intention of meeting him right now, so he'd better forget about it.
"Well, never mind then. I was thinking of taking you out for a meal to thank you. Sigh, you're not giving me any face."
"Don't bother me if there's nothing important. I'm very busy, loading female leads and backgrounds for you every day. If you want to meet, wait until I'm done with all this work."
With this last line of text, the semi-transparent light screen disappeared.
Gu Chenan's attention was still on the system's last sentence.
Wait until she's done with work to meet?
So a meeting is possible?
Wow, if she really appears, wouldn't that mean I'm truly on the path to a cheat code life?
......
Meanwhile.
In the general manager's office of Zhenhua Cosmetics.
"Deputy General Manager Sun, from today on, we're colleagues."
"You're too kind, General Manager Huang. I, Sun, will do my utmost for Zhenhua."
Sun Wei and Huang Yuan stood up and shook hands, both smiling broadly.
"Well then, General Manager Huang, I'll take my leave now. I'll report to the company tomorrow," Sun Wei said.
Huang Yuan was about to nod, but suddenly remembered something. He quickly came around from behind his desk, grabbed Sun Wei with a mysterious look on his face, and said, "Deputy General Manager Sun, please wait a moment."
Then he quickly walked to the office door, closed it, and locked it.
After doing all this, he walked back behind his desk.
"General Manager Huang, what's this about?" Sun Wei looked at Huang Yuan, unsure of what was going on.
Huang Yuan took out a cigarette and offered one to Sun Wei, then lit one for himself. After taking a long drag and exhaling the smoke, he said, "Deputy General Manager Sun, I heard that the new CEO of Caiying is quite incompetent?"
Hearing this, Sun Wei's eyes narrowed slightly. He lit his cigarette and said, "I don't know about incompetent, I just know that our ideas didn't align."
"That's what I mean," Huang Yuan smiled. "Deputy General Manager Sun, a talent like you was forced to resign by that new CEO. Isn't she going too far?"
Leaning forward, Huang Yuan lowered his voice and said, "Don't you have any grudges against that new CEO?"
"Of course I do!" Sun Wei said through gritted teeth. "But what good does it do even if I have grudges?"
"Ah," Huang Yuan shook his head. "Deputy General Manager Sun, you're selling yourself short. Your abilities are well-known throughout the beauty industry in Magic City. If you wanted to make things difficult for that new CEO, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?"
Sun Wei sensed the implication in Huang Yuan's words and asked with slight surprise, "What do you mean, General Manager Huang?"
Huang Yuan tapped his cigarette ash and got straight to the point: "To be frank, I want to see Caiying go bankrupt in a short time. The sooner, the better!"
spital. Good news: I've bound a system. Bad news: I'm still a baby. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the middle-aged for being poor — Divorce Comeback System." "Your marriage may have failed, but your luck in love has never run dry. Your childhood sweetheart, out of contact for twenty years, reappears. Her beauty remains, yet her eyes are brimming with tears." [Listen to the childhood sweetheart's sorrowful story.] Chen Zhi looked down at the diaper he was wearing, then at the little childhood sweetheart crying her heart out beside him, and fell into deep thought. Can anyone relate? I'm having a midlife crisis at an age where even rolling over is a struggle.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
