Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

"Unlike the previous single-settlement system, the rewards after each checkpoint are progressive."

"The silver card on the left is a regular reward, which you can claim directly."

"The gold card on the right is the deluxe version reward. You can spend real money to purchase it and then redeem it."

Bai Weiran remained silent for a few seconds.

This operation looks familiar.

Oh, it's just a monthly card, isn't it?

He glanced at the rewards from both sides, quickly calculated the values, and without a doubt, the deluxe gold card was the better choice.

But he didn't reach out his hand.

"Previous rewards were all settled in one go, only the treasure chest rewards for perfect completion are progressive."

Why has it become a progressive system this time?

"The progressive system is a special treatment we give to users who pass the test," 007 said with a slight smile.

"You can withdraw your reward once and leave, or you can continue to complete tasks. The more tasks you complete, the richer the rewards will be."

Bai Weiran understood the significance of the monthly card better than anyone else.

To increase retention rate, in other words, you need to keep yourself.

Previously, he could freely choose whether or not to accept tasks, and the more tasks he accepted, the more he would earn, just like outsourcing.

The testing hurdles and the new reward system both provide him with a clear path to advancement.

He had already seen the rewards in the silver card in regular item shops.

You can buy it with just a few points.

The gold cards contained many items he had never seen before.

He stood in front of the panel, deep in thought, while 007 looked down at him.

007's gaze lingered on his face. Her large, unmoving eyes suddenly blinked as if they were alive, and she gave a faint smile. But when he looked up, 007 suppressed that smile.

"I want something, but it's not in the reward."

"...?"

"...I want the special space from that previous mission. Is there any way for me to have complete control over it?"

What he wanted was a space that was entirely his own, like a large, dark room, and that wasn't on the reward list.

007 looked at him with surprise for a long time.

"That's not something I can decide."

"Then who can make the decision?" he asked.

"You yourself."

"...?"

007 laughed, "All you have to do is become the manager yourself."

"And congratulations, you're already on the path to becoming a manager."

Bai Weiran: …………?

Chapter Fifty-Six: A Cup of Black Tea Falls Halfway Down

"Administrator privileges allow them to choose any world to live in, or to create their own subspace."

The two cards spun rapidly in 007's hands. She put her hands together, and the gold and silver cards collided, producing a dazzling light. Finally, they merged into a single transparent card in her hands, which continued to spin.

"The manager, codename A-06, recommended you, so your regular mission level has been changed to an inspection level, which I will be responsible for supervising."

Bai Weiran was taken aback.

Could it be that Gaga's eventual disappearance and inability to transmit were all her doing?

He suddenly became cautious about the girl in front of him.

Why did this manager recommend me?

He had a vague feeling that there was an organization behind the platform.

But I've never met any of the platform's staff.

She suddenly appeared before me and told me that she had been recommended by the manager.

"Because your grades are excellent," 007 replied casually.

"The top 0.003% is your percentage among all users. Even if managers personally carry out the tasks, the average comprehensive index is only 0.89%."

"So it's not surprising that your performance was noticed and recommended by the administrators."

...Is this what they call being carried by a pro?

"Are there many management positions available?" he asked.

"No, the number of managers is fixed. If one is missing, one is replaced. There are never any more managers. Each manager is responsible for a different type of area."

"The person who recommended you, Manager A-06, is the head of the urban area. If you are interested in becoming a manager, you can become a manager by passing the test we have arranged for you."

Her explanation was watertight and perfectly reasonable.

Bai Weiran stared at the intelligent girl, and gently tapped the finger that naturally fell to his side.

"Then why didn't you say so in the first place? You only told me it was a checkpoint, but you didn't tell me it was a checkpoint for managers."

Instead, they waited until he asked for another world before telling him.

What if he didn't ask and just chose either of the two rewards?

007 smiled upon hearing this. The usually stern and expressionless AI girl suddenly smiled, as if the doll had come to life, bringing a sense of warmth and comfort.

"...That depends on whether you have the desire yourself."

"Manager A-06 said that opportunities should belong to those who have aspirations and a desire to make progress."

"If you don't ask, this opportunity won't be yours."

"look--"

The transparent card disappeared from 007's hand. She stretched out her hand and pointed forward. Bai Weiran looked behind him and saw a floating staircase extending outward from behind him. The steps were transparent and floated in the starry sky mirror water, going all the way up.

At the very end, there was a ball of white light, like the dawn, soft yet strong, like a white hole breaking through the end of the universe.

This scene made Bai Weiran's eyes flicker.

“If you want it, go that way,” 007 whispered beside him.

"But there is one thing I need to remind you: once you enter the inspection checkpoint, I will be responsible for supervising and issuing the inspection checkpoint. You will lose the right to actively choose tasks, and I will be responsible for issuing and supervising them."

"Based on the original, different task rules and difficulties will be added."

Bai Weiran stared intently at the end, his eyes narrowed.

The authority and benefits of managers—that's something far beyond what we can imagine in the real world.

007 watched him go from where he stood.

Bai Weiran walked halfway and suddenly turned around, looking at 007 who was standing at the bottom of the steps.

"By the way, I have something to ask you."

"Please speak."

Why do you sometimes call me Mr. Weiran and other times call me User Weiran?

007's large, silent eyes suddenly blinked.

"...I didn't notice. It might be something wrong with my database. It happens occasionally."

Bai Weiran didn't ask any more questions, waved to her, and continued walking forward until he was completely swallowed by the white light.

The white light and figure vanished from their spot, and the transparent floating staircase disappeared step by step until it reached 007. She lowered her head, a faint smile on her face, and suddenly her expression changed from blank to vibrant.

"Is it because you have people around you that you have the desire to move forward?"

They actually want a subspace where they can freely enter and exit other worlds.

He was thinking about the people around him.

It's a good thing to have this kind of thinking.

First, you need to have people around you who are willing to let you think this way.

It's much better than before when I would just sit alone in front of the game console, isn't it?

007 chuckled softly.

She slid her right hand in mid-air, and a virtual panel displaying all of Bai Weiran's personal information unfolded in front of her. With a flick of her finger, a smooth, intricately patterned, golden circular seal appeared and stamped onto the panel.

The entire panel immediately changed from a normal light green to a light golden light.

[Primordial AI 007, Rule Maker, Certification Completed]

[Rewards for the 100-person mission distributed]

[Enable User Beginnings - New Permissions]

With a flick of her finger, 007 suddenly blinked, and the seemingly emotionless AI girl gained a touch of playfulness and cuteness.

"Oh, I forgot to tell Mr. Wei Ran."

"In this space, the flow of time is different from that in his world—"

"...Nothing should happen, right?"

There is something in this world called Murphy's Law.

When a group of yanderes get together, it becomes an absolute law.

Upon returning to the present world, Bai Weiran immediately discovered this matter.
