Why the heck was it 2333? Ning Shu very much disliked the number 2333. She thought that she’d be able to get rid of this number once her internship period ended, but now a system that called itself 2333 arrived. She felt like puking blood.
“Dear player, system 2333 will be serving you as your personal system from now on. 2333 must attend to the player in all aspects including the player’s mental state. When the player is unhappy, the system is responsible for cheering the player up; when the player is happy, the system must celebrate with the player. The system must offer its all to help the player complete the tasks.”
Ning Shu: …
Why did she have a bad premonition? She felt like she preferred that cold system to this weirdo system.
Ning Shu rubbed her forehead as she said, “That, uh, 2333…”
“Does Player require something?” 2333 hastily asked like a little employee that was working hard to curry favor with his boss.
“Why don’t you explain the situation to me first?” said Ning Shu.
“What situation?” asked 2333.
“I’m now an official player, so I’d like to know about the other players.” Ning Shu suppressed her irritation. She had spent over ten thousand points, but this was the goods she had ended up getting? It was so depressing.
2333 seemed to sense that Ning Shu wasn’t very happy and hastily said, “Player currently doesn’t have the privilege of knowing about the other players.”
“Then what can I ask about?” Ning Shu asked with narrowed eyes.
“You can ask about your task and the system’s origin,” said 2333. “Players are chosen because their souls are stronger than that of ordinary people, thus they are able to endure the damage that interdimensional travel causes to the soul. There are people who suffer extreme grievances in life and offer up their own souls or something important to them in exchange for having their fates changed. The job of the players is to fulfill the requests of those people.”
“The players’ function is to mend the planes of existence. They are the tinkers who mend worlds,” said system 2333.
Ning Shu nodded and said, “I get it.”
“Oh, that’s right, are there any secret cultivation manuals that help strengthen the soul? I feel like my soul is still too weak.” It was definitely best to make her soul as strong as possible.
“There are, but Player doesn’t have any points so Player can’t exchange for one,” replied 2333.
Fudge, she really wanted to throttle 2333 until it spat the points back out. She felt like this system was completely useless!
“That so. By the way, what do you look like? Come out and let me take a look,” said Ning Shu.
“Player, I’m sorry to say that I don’t have a physical body. I’m the control center of this space,” replied 2333.
Fuck! And she had been hoping to beat it up to vent her anger.
“Oh, before I forget, once you become an official player, you’ll receive a special task that will determine your style of handling tasks. After that, I will do my best to assign tasks that suit your personality,” said 2333.
“Alright,” said Ning Shu. “Do I need to complete the special task right now?”
“There’s no rush. Player needs to see the entrustor first,” said 2333.
Ning Shu found it awkward to keep having 2333 call her ‘player’ so she said, “You can call me directly by name.”
“Okay, Ning Shu,” replied 2333 cheerfully. Then 2333 asked, “Do you want to see the entrustor right now?”
“Alright.” Right after Ning Shu spoke, a figure started slowly appearing in the space. The figure was a bit dim; it was a soul like Ning Shu.
