"..."

"Understood, disperse," Yanming said.

Volume One

Chapter 1 Strategy System?

[The so-called "conquest system" involves the system issuing tasks. As long as you, the host, attempt to win over the designated beautiful girl, making her blush and increasing her affection level, you will receive different rewards based on your task completion.]

[That's roughly the situation. Do you understand, Host?]

Yanming nodded as he listened to the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind, indicating that he understood it pretty well.

That's good, so let's continue...

"Hehe, I won't do it." After a crisp refusal, Yanming continued wiping the dusty window with the rag in his hand.

【? 】

Why?!

When ordinary people encounter such an illogical event, shouldn't they first feel surprised? At the very least, they would be startled before gradually moving from doubt to acceptance, right?

What's with the direct rejection?!

It's a system! A legendary system that only the protagonist can possess, a one-of-a-kind system!!

Yanming threw the rag into the bucket, and the originally clear water immediately became murky. He decided to take a few precious minutes to have a good chat with this unknown intelligent entity.

"What can you give me?" Yanming asked casually.

Uh... generally speaking, a monetary reward...

Before it could finish speaking, Yanming opened his phone.

"Shh-"

A string of cold numbers appeared on the screen.

【? ! 】

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, hundred thousand, hundred...

【…】

The system glanced at the endless numbers on its phone, then looked at the small treasury it could pull out of its own inventory.

Finally, it realized that money alone was unlikely to win over the other party, and it was more likely that Yanming would assign it a task.

Calm down! Although a money offensive is useless, it can still provide many conveniences that money can't buy.

It's just a human host. As long as I use the skills I learned during my training with the Cat Station System... there won't be any problems!

Calm down! We're the best graduates this year!

[Leaving aside the uninteresting topic of money, this system offers many other benefits!]

That's it! This way, the host will definitely change his mind...

Yanming replied expressionlessly, "Oh."

And that was the end of it.

【Eh…】

Why are you so cold?

[…I understand! The host isn't sure what the specific rewards are yet, right? Wait, wait… let me check the instructions! It'll definitely surprise you!]

[A series of inexplicable clattering sounds from pots and pans]

【Hmm...I understand everything now!】

Yanming raised an eyebrow, showing a slight interest.

[As long as the task is completed to a high enough standard, I can help the host improve some professional skills, or even directly boost the host's own stats. It's not impossible for the host to become a superhuman with all-around development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor one day!]

[Isn't that amazing!]

"Slap. Slap."

It was applause tinged with sarcasm, but Yanming thought the other party probably wouldn't notice.

really

【Hmph↑Hmph↓Hmph↑】

[Let's take a look at the host's panel first, and see if there's anything that urgently needs improvement. The system veterans say this can increase motivation to complete tasks!]

The strategy system seemed encouraged by Yanming, and its voice even rose a little.

[Of course, even if there are some really bad things, Host, you don't need to feel bad, because as long as I'm here, everything will be alright...?]

The system slowly typed out a question mark.

[Base stats (average human stats are 5, human limit is 9)]

[Physique: 8]

Agility (Reaction): 8

【Intelligence: 8】

【Charm: 10】

[Wow, that's amazing... No, no, that's not right!]

The system was startled, and then panicked again.

This number... doesn't that mean it has absolutely no weaknesses?!

So what is the system's function?

This is this...

[The basics are just that—the basics. A person still needs a skill to make a living…right, host?]

Yanming hummed in agreement, giving the system a chance to continue its stubbornness.

【You think so too! That's great! Then let's take a look at the skills... skills...】

Just one glance

The strategy system is now in place.

[Mastering Skills (Lv1 is beginner level, Lv5 is professional level)]

[Musical Instrument [Guitar] Proficiency: Lv5]

[Singing Proficiency: Lv5]

Stage presence: Lv5

[Communication Skills Mastery: Lv5]

Mixed Martial Arts: Lv4

【1 2 3……21】

【…】

Wow. (Emotionless)

【Host, may I ask... just a small question! Absolutely no other meaning intended!】

The system's voice trembled noticeably.

On the contrary, Yanming remained calm and collected: "Ask whatever you want, we're not going to eat you."

What did you do for a living before?

"Well..." Yanming glanced at the clock on the wall, and after confirming that there was still plenty of time before the agreed time, he said, "At first, I was a small-time hoodlum, then I was the guitarist and lead singer of an unknown band for a while, but after the band disbanded... now I'm back to being an unemployed bum who just loafs around and waits to die. There's nothing to be proud of."

I don't believe you for a second!

It's all over, it's all over... Waaaaah—

It's only been one day since it was bound to a host, and it's already being treated as useless waste and having its power reduced (sad).

【…May you, host, have a smooth and successful life, and go far in the future. This old servant will take his leave now, waaaaaah (?д?;)】

It's so hard for a cat-themed website like this, a recent graduate, to find a suitable host... If only... if only it had watched less anime back then, sob sob...

I regret it now, but it's too late.

The desolate strategy system could only accept the tragic reality that it would be unemployed upon graduation.

After a short while, Yanming chuckled and casually said, "You... are quite interesting. Why don't you stay and keep me company? I'm quite wealthy, so I can take care of you."

【…? 】

Host... Host, his head seems to be glowing, and he has a pair of wings behind him?!

So warm... So happy, I want to cry... What's going on? When it was still just a string of code, didn't it already decide to abandon its weak self?

Why is it still happening...?

【Host, I want to give birth to a little system for you! Waaaaah!——】

It, once weak, has been resurrected in glory!

Before the strategy system could finish crying, Yanming, who had just stood up, calmly added the remaining half of his sentence:

Anyway, I don't have many years left to live.

【…Huh?】

What did the host just say?

The system trembled as it pulled Yanming's panel upwards.

At the top of the system panel, there is a column of basic information. Because it is not usually used, it was naturally ignored by the system.

Only now is the full picture being revealed.

Name: Yanming

【Age: 18】

[Status: Critical]

[Remaining life expectancy: 9 years, 8 months, and 24 days]

【……ha?】

What?!

This...isn't this right?

"There's no need to worry about these little things. I feel like I've lived a pretty good life... Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore." Yanming finished tidying up the cleaning tools, took one last look at the clock, and walked towards the door. "The person who's renting the place should be here by now. As for our matter, let's talk about it another time."

Yanming, unemployed

But he's a landlord.
