System: Aren’t I awesome?

Although the system lacks a physical form, Zhang Yu can feel how smug the system is right now: Yes, yes, you’re the best.

After showing off a bit more, the system says: Exactly, exactly, well, you know we do everything.

Well, Zhang Yu knows there’s definitely a reason why the system is being so proactive: System, oh system, I just knew, being this proactive just has to have a reason.

The system is already acting so pitiful, what can Zhang Yu do? Should she cruelly say she can’t give points?

Alright, she could refuse, but she’s not stingy anymore, and the system is actually quite nice: Okay, you can deduct points.

Hehe, the system laughs very joyously: Don’t worry, even though you’re losing points, I’ll tell you, this whole operation is really worth it, because you’ll gain merit points.

Hearing the word "merit" once again, Zhang Yu looks at the points situation on the display screen and unsurprisingly sees the merit points increasing.

Zhang Yu: System, let me ask you, what’s the situation with these merit points?

System points can be exchanged for things in the system, which feels somewhat useful, but she really doesn’t know the specifics of merit points; they can’t be used in the system, nor in the tasks.

Zhang Yu had wanted to ask the system before, but she always forgot; now that she remembers, she takes the chance to ask.

Regarding this, the system still hasn’t revealed the mystery: I can only tell you, it’s good stuff, you’ll definitely use it in the future.

Ah, ah, ah, it’s the same answer again. It seems that when asked before, the system also said it would be useful in the future, and it’s good stuff, but as for the specifics, the system either doesn’t know or isn’t willing to say.

Seeing Zhang Yu remain silent for a while, the system gets anxious: Although I sometimes trick you, you know I’m straightforward, I won’t trick you.

The system hasn’t tricked her? Zhang Yu looks disbelievingly at the screen: System, are you sure you’ve never tricked me? You don’t even know how many times you’ve tricked me.

Zhang Yu: Should we do a proper accounting?

The system immediately becomes submissive: Little Yu, as comrades working hard in the same trench, we really don’t need to be so petty.

System: So, I’ll send you the information for the next task; take a good look at the materials.

System: This time’s task will definitely meet your requirements and won’t let you grow old with your partner.

After saying this, the system disappeared.

Zhang Yu originally thought that the system was just being boastful; it never provided task information early before, always waiting until she was about to leave, but who would have thought it would be given in advance this time.

Lying on the deck chair, Zhang Yu thought, "The system is truly always so mysterious."

She feels that it’s probably not just this one task that can be told to her in advance; surely other tasks can be as well.

As for why the system had never operated this way before, Zhang Yu guesses it’s just the system’s wicked sense of humor.

The system’s urgent voice appears again: I knew you’d think that.

See? Just know the system’s so-called "I’m leaving, I’m off to handle tasks," is just to trick Little White.

System: I wasn’t tricking you; I’m going to a training session.

What? As a system, it actually needs to go to training? Zhang Yu is stunned: You actually need to attend training? To upgrade yourself?

System: Certainly needed, even as a system, we consistently upgrade.

Speaking of upgrades, Zhang Yu understands: What if you don’t update or upgrade?

Well: Then I can’t stay with you until the end, or the Task Takers might leave? Another possibility is that all the Task Takers managed by the system leave, and the Main System thinks there’s no need for the system’s existence, and just blacklists it.

Ah? Zhang Yu never thought that the system might actually get locked in a dark room: Are there people who don’t take part in tasks?

System: Of course, otherwise, why is the company lacking people, there’s quite a bit of turnover.

The system suddenly realized it said something it shouldn’t have, looked dumbfounded, and really wanted to ask Zhang Yu if she could pretend she hadn’t heard.

Zhang Yu gives an acknowledging sound, realizing that the system has acted foolishly again: Haven’t I already become the company’s veteran?

System gives a confirming sound: Right, ah ah, Little Yu, I’m so good to you, you’re not going to just abandon me, are you?

This, well, Zhang Yu can only say: I don’t know either, participating in too many tasks will eventually become tiresome, but for now, I have no desire to leave.

Though she doesn’t know the specifics, she feels now isn’t the time to leave.

System: Little Yu, Little Yu, I knew you were the best.

System: I really have to go now; if I don’t, the Main System will be upset.

Zhang Yu waves goodbye, then lies down to rest, casually checking the client situation.

She quickly and efficiently reviews it; great, it’s yet another unfortunate woman, meeting so-called like-minded comrades during college, thinking they’d certainly be happy since they were each other’s first love, sharing common hobbies and aspirations.

Little does she know, as a "town test-taker" originating from a petty mindset, her lover’s supposed first love isn’t her but another unfortunate woman, who though academically excellent, abandoned her high school education due to his sweet words, going south to work and earn money to support him in college.

Of course, the final result was, after the "love interest" was admitted to a prestigious university, he used the funds from first love to study at university, pretending to be from a poor family while claiming to pursue progress, indifferent to life’s pressures, making the original and her parents very satisfied with him.

Unbeknownst to them, the so-called upward pursuit was in fact trampling on a girl’s sweat and blood all along.

As someone accustomed to rising by stepping on others, the jerk will use the first love if he can, and of course, use his wife more, using the original and her backing family to reach career peaks, and once no longer able to offer help, quickly climbs to higher branches.

Let him climb the high branches; for scumbags, there’s absolutely no sense of morality, only so-called benefits.

In Zhang Yu’s view, breaking up with a jerk sooner is better; seriously developing a career, why isn’t that satisfying?

But the original couldn’t accept it, feeling the jerk’s success was because of her and the whole family’s support, and once the man was successful, climbed the high branches, not only did he propose divorce but also expected her to leave with nothing but their child.

The original certainly couldn’t accept such actions; anyone else would be unwilling too.

Being unwilling leads to the child’s schizophrenia, and the jerk forces them into a mental institution, the client truly didn’t expect the man to be this ruthless, took the chance in negotiating to directly kill him.

Leaving candle-age parents to care for the child, thus separating a supposedly happy family forever.

"For a jerk, is it worth it?" Zhang Yu sighs helplessly, truly a frustrating commission.
