[You are dead.]

[You are dead.]

[You are dead.]

A girl was sprawled on the ground as she shifted her position slowly. She used her hands to cover her ears, seemingly wanting to cut off the annoying voice ringing in her head, however, that clean and raspy kiddish voice could still be heard.

The voice seemed to come from deep within her head.

'Annoying.'

'How annoying.'

[You are dead... are dead... dead...]

The girl covered her head with both of her hands.

All movement ceased.

The voice kept on chanting as the beat became faster and more joyful. The voice even started singing it's chants like a nursery rhyme.

After busying herself for one whole night, all she wanted was a good night's rest.

'Who could be so inconsiderate that he or she had to curse people in the middle of the night?'

'Don't think that just because you were a kid, you could do whatever you want.'

'Then again, who wasn't still a kid?'

The voice continued chanting persistently as the beat turned faster and more joyful.

[You are dead. You are dead. You are dead.]

Finally, the woman lying on the floor raised her head.

Chuzheng let go of the hand that was holding her fringe while her sight was still a little blurry. A wave of dizziness hit her and it took her awhile before she could make out her surroundings.

"!!!"

She turned her head to scan her surroundings.

'What kind of damned place is this?'

'Why am I here?'

'Was I kidnapped?'

'What kind of mad thing dared to kidnap her?'

[You are dead!]

"You are the one dead," retorted Chuzheng with a face devoid of expression.

[You are really dead.]The voice said again,[If you don't believe me, you can look in the mirror.]

'Mirror?'

Chuzheng scanned her surroundings before realizing that she should be in a karaoke box while beside her was the washroom.

There was a mirror in the washroom.

The person in the mirror had a colorful hairstyle and looked as if she was part of the Scene subculture. Her make-up was even more horrifying and on her body was a weird set of clothing.

This was not the appearance she was familiar with.

What kind... of damn thing was she?

–

Chuzheng quickly understood her current situation.

She had met the legendary system.

As to where the system came from, who made it and what kind of motive did the system have, it would not be uncovered yet.

'But my current mission now was to complete missions in different types of worlds.'

Chuzheng wore a cold expression.

'Only through completing the mission could I have a chance of resurrection.'

Chu Zheng continued wearing a cold expression.

'Why do I need a chance for resurrection? I am not dead! I refuse to accept this weird set-up!'

[Please face reality!]There was a hint of gloating in the system's happiness.

Chuzheng's face was once again devoid of expression.

'Liar!'

The system pretended to have not heard that and continued explaining.

'The system's mission was to make me— A prodigal?'

'If I don't spend money, I would die.'

'If I want to live, I have to spend money.'

'Wait a minute!'

'Why must I become a prodigal? Where am I going to get the money?'

The system obviously did not plan to answer her questions.

[Yes. Through becoming a prodigal, we will change the fate of the body you are currently in and make this person a winner in life.]The clean and crisp kiddish voice turned more cheerful.[Please prepare to receive the plot.]

The moment the cheerful voice had finished talking, Chuzheng felt as if she banged her head against a brick wall and countless memories flashed past her eyes.

This body was called Ji Chuzheng.

Ji Chuzheng's mother had passed away very early and her father was usually busy with work thus he did not have much time to care for her. Whenever Ji Chuzheng came to him, her father would always give her money and slowly, Ji Chuzheng became capricious.

When she was thirteen, her father remarried.

Her stepmother had a daughter who was around her age and she changed her name to Ji Tongtong.

When the pair of mother and daughter came, Ji Chuzheng disliked them very much but her stepmother treated her very well. She had given Ji Chuzheng anything she wanted and treated her just like her own. Regardless of whether it was her relatives and maids, they felt that her stepmother was a kind person and that Ji Chuzheng was being too immature.

However, the truth was that her stepmother only wanted Ji Chuzheng to waste her life away.

Ji Chuzheng indeed turned out to be how her stepmother thought she was. She smoked, drank alcohol, got into fights and had even almost killed and set fire to somebody's house.

Every time she went out, she would make Father Ji so angry that he would almost have a heart attack.

Comparatively, Li Tongtong was more lovely and obedient and had gotten into Father Ji's good books.

Whenever Ji Chuzheng and Ji Tongtong argued, Father Ji would always think that Ji Chuzheng was the one at fault.

However, nobody knew that there were many incidents where Ji Tongtong would set her up. Ji Chuzheng wanted to tell Father Ji but Father Ji was under the spell of Ji Tongtong and wouldn't believe her. He only thought that she was making trouble unreasonably and only knew how to bully Ji Tongtong.

Ji Tongtong was forever the pure and beautiful one.

She was like a delicate Sayuri flower who needed to be protected from her evil big sister's bullying.

As such, Ji Chuzheng became more rebellious.

In everyone's eyes, she was a naughty kid and was a negative example. In the end, she was even set up by Ji Tongtong and had lost her innocence.

Even the person who she liked was stolen away by Ji Tongtong and he also thought that Ji Chuzheng was a bad person while Ji Tongtong was pure, beautiful, kind and gentle.

In the end, Ji Chuzheng lost everything and became mentally unstable. She was eventually sent to the mental asylum and it was not until Ji Tongtong visited her that Ji Tongtong gave the game away.

Everything was just a plan that her mother and her planned.

They wanted her to become like this so that she could be chased out of the Ji Family and lose everything.

When Ji Chuzheng knew about the truth, she committed suicide not long after.

On the other hand, Ji Tongtong was married to another man and had children. She inherited the Ji Family's assets and lived happily ever after.

–

Chuzheng massaged her temples which were still in pain to take in these new foreign memories—those memories that belonged to the body she was in.

She could feel the hatred and vengeance this body had when she died.

However, this was not her.

Chuzheng stood in front of a table and on it was a knife.

[...What are you trying to do?]The kiddish voice panicked. [Our mission is to reverse her face through becoming a prodigal not using a knife to kill those little aunties. Cool down.]

Chuzheng ignored the voice and took the knife. She did some slicing actions in front of her wrist before slicing it harshly.

Fresh blood seeped out from the wound and dropped onto the floor.

The blood blossomed into a red flower.

When Chuzheng opened her eyes again, she was still at the same place.

The same place, the same appearance, the same posture. Nothing changed.

"..."

[It's no use. Unless you complete the mission, you will still repeat this scene.]The kiddish voice's tone turned cheerful and it didn't seem to be hiding that it was gloating.

"..." What kind of system was this? "Does your system always force people to do things against their will?"

'Is there a place where I can lodge a complaint against this evil system?'

'I must lodge a complaint!'

Chuzheng sat on the floor and the knife lay silently on the table.

After a very long time, Chuzheng took the knife again and held it with her two hands before stabbing it into her heart.

"Ah!"

The door was pushed open and a shriek rang in Chuzheng's ears suddenly.

That meaningless scream was so noisy.

That was the last thought Chuzheng had before her vision went black.

She was in darkness for a few seconds and when she opened her eyes again, she was still at the same place...

'What kind of black technology was it to enable people to revive again after reviving from death?'

[Give up. As long as you try your best to do the mission, you can resurrect back in your old body.]The system guided patiently and systematically.

'Perhaps the way I died was not right.'

[...]

After that, Chuzheng tried different ways of dying.

However, no matter what she did, she would always wake up in that room.

Chuzheng touched her wrist and sat on the floor. It was unknown as to what she was thinking.

The annoying voice kept ringing in her head making Chuzheng really want to get rid of it.

[...]

In the end, Chuzheng had no choice but to accept this new body of hers and everything that had happened as well as this weird system.

She was trapped in a place that she was unable to make heads or tails of.

If she did not do the mission, she could not go back.

As for what the system said about her dying...

'I! don't! believe!'

'Liar!'Chapter 2Name： Author：

[Little miss, are you ready?]

"If I am not ready, will you let me go back?"

[In that case, let's begin our prodigal living!]The system directly ignored Chuzheng's words.

"...How do I become a prodigal? Destroy the house?"

[...]Her understanding of the word was right but she had to understand that it was not a shallow system but a system with depth.

'Cough, cough.'

[Little miss, there's no hurry. I will give out the mission and you just have to follow the instructions and complete the mission.]The soft and adorable voice was filled with joy.[Please do provide me with your guidance.]

"Guidance?"

Chuzheng took the tool that she used to kill herself earlier on and plunged it into the sofa beside her. On the shiny surface of the knife, it reflected her expressionless face. "Once I am done guiding you, will you let me go back?"

[...O-Of course.]'This Little miss is a little fierce!'

Chuzheng draw the knife out and the knife's gleam flashed past her eyes.

"Don't let me catch you doing bad things!"

[...]'Little miss is indeed very fierce. I should watch myself from now on.'

[Because this is your first universe, to help Little miss adapt, the universe is a beginner universe.]

Chuzheng casually flipped the knife without a word.

[...]

[Please take note that the value of the thing you buy must be equal to the value of the money (the criterion would be the universe's currency). If you use one dollar to buy something, the thing bought must be worth one dollar. ]

'This means that I cannot give, donate or throw away...'

'The money must be used to buy, buy and buy.'

"Once I have completed it, will I get any rewards?"

[Every time you complete a mission, you will receive the corresponding sum of money as well as the goods you bought in the mission. This also means that the more the host spends, the more money you will get. ]

"If I spend ten thousand, will I get ten thousand?"

[Yes.]The system was very happy.[Is Little miss very happy?]

"What is the meaning of such a set-up?"

[...Foolish people earn more money. We are giving money to Little miss.]

Chuzheng: "..."

She had no idea how to refute that.

[Little miss, do you have any questions? I can answer them for you~]The childish voice was filled with excitement.

"No." rejected Chuzheng coldly.

[...] The system felt a little sad and its voice turned pitiful. [In that case, I will serve Little miss well and try my best to let Little miss go back as soon as possible. Let's start prodigal living! ]

With that, Chuzheng casually plunged the knife into the sofa.

If one looked carefully, one would realize that the position Chuzheng plunged the knife in was the exact same position as just now.

She lowered her eyes slightly and touched her wrist.

–

The current situation was that the protagonist was having a karaoke session with a bunch of monkey friends but she was intoxicated by someone and thus sent to this suite.

After a while, someone would come in and this would be the place where the protagonist would lose her innocence.

The moment Chuzheng had registered that in her brain, someone pushed open the suite's door.

A young man came in.

As the lighting in the suite was a little dark and the young man had just come in from outside, he could only see the shadow of a girl sitting on the floor.

He rubbed his hands together and gave a smile that seemed as though he harbored evil designs on her. "Little beauty, you must have waited for a long time?"

Chuzheng's hand brushed past the fabric of the sofa and when she raised her hand again, a knife appeared in her hands.

The young man stopped dead in his tracks and froze.

The sharp knife was pointed towards him.

A cold gleam flashed past his eyes.

However, he was not scared of her. Instead, he pushed his luck by trying to touch Chuzheng's hand. "Little beauty, you are drunk, this knife is very dangerous..."

"Ah!"

The knife slashed past the young man's hand.

The young man held his hand and gave out a loud scream.

The young man went ballistic. "I gave you face but you didn't accept it... Ah..."

Chuzheng directly kicked him in the groin.

As the young man has been kicked in the groin, his body became unstable and he stumbled backward while hitting his head on the table before falling onto the ground with a groan.

Chuzheng stood up and perhaps it was the system's benefit, she did not feel any discomfort in her body at the moment.

She walked to the young man's side and used her leg to kick him.

The young man still had some consciousness and gritted his teeth while saying "You dare to hit me..."

"Hit you?" Chuzheng bent down slightly and under the reflection of the light, her horrifying make-up seemed even more eerie and scary. Five words spat out from her mouth coldly as she emphasized on every single word. "I did not hit you."

'If I don't hit you, who do I hit?'

'I look so ugly now and yet you still dare to call me little beauty?'

'What an insult it is to the two words, little beauty!'

"You..."

Chuzheng kicked him again.

'He could still speak.'

'My strength just now was not right, I must take note of it."

This time, the young man was not able to withstand the hit and rolled his eyes backward before falling unconscious.

[...]'Little miss is really very fierce! I must really watch my tail and not let Little miss find out.'

Chuzheng looked at the young man lying on the ground with nonchalance.

In the end, the protagonist had almost found out that it was part of Ji Tongtong's plan for her to lose her innocence.

[Main mission: Please spend a hundred thousand dollars in one hour. The money is already transferred to Little miss's card, please check it.]The system happily hinted.

[Little miss, don't forget, our goal is to counterattack by becoming a prodigal!]

'Become a prodigal... counterattack?'

'This meant that I have to teach those damn people who bullied the protagonist a lesson?'

[Little miss is so smart. The meaning is around there.] The system praised her joyfully.

"What will happen if I cannot spend a hundred thousand dollars in an hour?" asked Chuzheng.

[Little miss, it will double.]

"..." Indeed, foolish people earn more money.

Chuzheng took a glance at the young man on the ground and pondered as to how she should deal with him.

[Little miss, we are a prodigal system. Do you know what a prodigal is? Please be more friendly! Don't think about those weird stuff, it would be better to be more friendly and harmonious!]

Chuzheng: "..."

–

Half an hour later, Chuzheng threw the man's clothes in the dustbin of the public toilet and took a look at the phone in her hands before putting it back.

She washed her hands calmly and went to the front desk downstairs.

"Give me a hundred thousand dollars worth of alcohol and send it to Suite 608."

The lady at the front desk was shocked. "!!!"

A hundred thousand dollars?

The lady at the front desk looked at the guest before her—a girl with a punk hairstyle wearing a small leather coat which had rivets on it as well as a scary make-up—and swallowed her saliva.

Was she here to find trouble?

The lady at the front desk asked with an uncertain tone, "Miss, are you sure?"

Chuzheng handed her a card.

Although the lady at the front desk felt that something was weird, since Chuzheng had already given her the card, the lady had nothing to say.

"What kind of alcohol do you want? We have a lot of brands here..."

"Any brand would be fine as long as one would not die from drinking it."

The lady at the front desk was speechless. "..."

It is a hundred thousand dollars worth of alcohol, perhaps it could really kill.

The front desk lady immediately called someone to prepare the alcohol and after she swiped the card, she asked Chuzheng to key in her pin.

[Congratulations Little miss for completing the mission! Your one hundred thousand dollars reward is now in your bank account.]

Chuzheng took back her card with an expressionless face.

'I have completed the mission so easily?'

Chuzheng followed the service staff to give the alcohol to suite 608.

"This is your alcohol."

"We didn't ask for alcohol... Oh my goodness, what brand of alcohol is this?"

The service staff said a name and cheers could be heard from inside.

"It's already paid for."

"Paid? Did you send it to the wrong suite?"

"It is for your suite. I won't be wrong."Chapter 3Name： Author：
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chuzheng waited for the service staff to leave before pushing the door to enter.

Pa——

The suite was lit up.

The person sitting in front of the table immediately looked towards the door.

"Eh, Big Sister Chuzheng, didn't you go home already?"

The people surrounding him also looked at her and shouted, "Big Sister Chuzheng, you pretended to be drunk and lied to us!"

"You've come at a great time. Somebody gave us a lot of alcohol."

Most of them seemed to be very normal and even told her about the alcohol as they joked with her as usual.

However, one person's expression looked especially terrible.

Chuzheng pushed the person at the front away and walked inside.

The suite immediately quietened down.

Chuzheng scanned the crowd.

The protagonist had followed this bunch of monkey friends today to have fun together but she had only drunk a few glasses of alcohol and she had already felt that her head was spinning.

Her drink must have been spiked.

Chuzheng took the bottle of alcohol and gave it to the person who seemed to be weirder than usual. "My treat," said Chuzheng with nonchalance as her tone sounded very flat and cold.

It's one hundred thousand dollars!

It must not go to waste!

"Big Sister Chu... Chuzheng..." The person felt very guilty as his eyes were unable to meet hers.

"Drink it."

The current Chuzheng was very different from the Chuzheng they knew. Although her appearance had not changed, the vibe she exuded was very different.

The most important thing was that the look in her eyes was very cold.

It was as if there was a mist of cold air surrounding her.

It made people shudder in fear.

The rest of them did not know what had happened and thus did not dare to speak up.

The atmosphere was very tense.

Chuzheng's cold gaze made that person feel very uncomfortable. It was as if the things he had done were exposed long ago.

The person breathed harder as time passed by.

"Big Sister Chuzheng, what have I done wrong?" The person tried to struggle.

"You know yourself." Chuzheng placed the bottle of alcohol in front of him again. "Drink it."

"..."

The rest were speechless. 'What's happening?'

"Brother, where have you offended Big Sister Chuzheng? Quickly admit to your mistake and apologize to Big Sister Chuzheng. Since she asks you to drink it, just drink it." 'She was their money tree, how could he offend her?'

"That's right, quickly drink it. After that, apologize to her and Big Sister Chuzheng wouldn't blame you further."

"I..." The person's eyes sweep his surroundings anxiously as if a cool air rose from his feet to his head, turning his whole body cold.

'She must have found out.'

'Will she let me off?'

'No!'

'I must run!'

These three words flashed through his mind as a dreadful feeling crept up from within him.

He pushed the person beside him harshly and made a run for the exit.

"Stop him."

Since the protagonist was rich, even if her friends were not good people, they still listened to her.

However, the person was too fast and dashed out once he had opened the suite door.

Before they were able to grab him, they heard an evil voice. "Isn't this our Big Missy Ji? What's happening here?"

Outside the suite, there was a tattooed bald-headed young man as well as his men. That person had coincidentally run into the bald-headed young man when he ran outside.

"Brother Huang." That person immediately greeted him. "Brother Huang, save me, save me..."

The bald-headed young man pulled that person to his side and scanned the people at Chuzheng's side. The people at Chuzheng's side were obviously a little frightened and let go of that person.

Brother Huang glared at the person with a look as if he had expected better from him and that person immediately hid behind him.

Chuzheng scanned Brother Huang. He was not on good terms with the proprietress because he liked the proprietress but the proprietress ignored him. Hence, his love turned into hatred and he would always find trouble with her whenever he had the chance to.

Although the proprietress had created a lot of trouble as well, she was not part of a gang and had suffered many times. She had also spent money to teach Brother Huang a lesson a few times but the feud between both of them only grew bigger and was endless.

It was unknown as to how Ji Tongtong had known about their feud and contacted this Brother Huang.

—

Clearly, this act today was planned by Brother Huang. He had first bribed the proprietress's men to spike the proprietress's drink...

This evil damn thing had actually come to knock onto her door willingly.

Could she get rid of him?

"What a big entrance, Big Missy Ji!" Brother Huang walked into the suite and saw the bottle of alcohol on the table. "Aiyo, there's even such a good brand of alcohol here."

Brother Huang directly sat on the sofa and spread his arms like a boss before placing them on the two sides of the sofa.

Chuzheng touched her wrists as her fingernails even scratched her wrists a few times.

Brother Huang gave her a side-eye. "Why didn't Big Missy Ji tell..."

Piak!

The bottle of alcohol broke and the alcohol flowed down from the bald-headed Brother Huang's head. Perhaps, he was knocked unconscious by the hit and could not react after the sudden hit as his eyes were wide-open while he looked straight.

Chuzheng calmly took the second bottle and raised her head to hit it on his head again.

She did it so quickly that no one could react in time to stop her.

Brother Huang rolled his eyes to the back of his head and fell backward while his body was still sitting upright.

Upon seeing that, everyone swallowed their saliva with much difficulty.

Chuzheng's men were speechless. "..." 'Oh my goodness, when did Big Sister Chuzheng become so fierce? She really did as she said and she didn't even give people a chance to react.'

'Scary.'

Chuzheng looked at the bunch of men that Brother Huang had brought along with him and before they could do anything to her, she placed a broken glass against Brother Huang's neck. "We'll see what happens if you move."

The young lady's voice was very cold and she wore a blank expression as she looked very fierce.

The bunch of men immediately froze.

It would not be scary to meet someone better than them but someone who was unruly.

"Ji Chuzheng, let go of our Brother Huang! How dare you do this to Brother Huang? Are you tired of living?"

Brother Huang's men threatened nervously.

"Come in and squat down."

"What?" They were confused.

"Come in and squat down," Chuzheng repeated her words calmly. "I will only give you three seconds."

Brother Huang's men took a look at Chuzheng before looking at the neck of their unconscious Brother Huang.

However, someone refused to obey and wanted to fight. The moment he moved, Chuzheng pushed the glass closer and he immediately froze when he saw the blood on Brother Huang's neck.

They remained unmoving for a while before raising their hands up and walked in.

What was surprising was that none of them ran away, even the traitor who had run out earlier on came in and squatted down.

"San Mao1, check the weapons on their body."

It was not because San Mao only had three strands of hair but because he had dyed his hair in three different colors and had not changed his hairstyle from the time he debuted till now, furthermore, his surname was Mao so his nickname was called San Mao.

"Big Sister Chuzheng..."

This was Brother Huang we were talking about.

He was part of the underworld!

Chuzheng calmly gave him a look.

San Mao strangely shivered as goosebumps sprang over his arms and he immediately went forward to search their bodies.

There were quite a lot of weapons including different types of knives and daggers. There was even a person who brought nunchucks.

Chuzheng placed the alcohol in front of them and knocked her fingers on the table. "Drink it."

Everyone was speechless. "..."

Did she tell them to squat down just to drink alcohol?

"These are all yours. If these aren't enough, there's still some more." Who would have known that Chuzheng was referring to all of the bottles of alcohol on the table as well as those on the floor?

Was she trying to kill someone through intoxication?

"Big Sister Chuzheng..." 'This is too much...'

Chuzheng raised her eyes and looked at them. Under those thick eyeshadows, her eyes were as dark as ink as it exuded a cool and cold vibe. It was as if her eyes could see through a human's soul.

Those people who were talking immediately covered their mouths and did not dare to ask further.

She was still fine awhile ago and yet it had not been long, how did she become so scary?

Some of them squatting on the ground gave each other a look and suddenly moved and knocked onto the people beside them.

They have already made a move and as such San Mao instinctively fought back.

The situation in the suite immediately turned chaotic.

Someone came closer to Chuzheng and Brother Huang as they prepared to rescue Brother Huang from her grasp.

However, they had only come a little closer before they were knocked down by her. Soon after, San Mao and the others watched Chuzheng settle all of them one by one in a daze.

San Mao was stunned. "..." 'Did Big Sister Chuzheng secretly learn martial arts?'Chapter 4Name： Author：

When Brother Huang woke up, he saw his little brother hugging a bottle of wine, red in the face and walking unsteadily.

Brother Huang: "..."

Before he could comprehend what was going on, a bottle of wine appeared before him—it was the same wine that he praised earlier.

Brother Huang looked up.

The young lady's fingers were fair and slender, her nails painted with black nail polish.

"Ji Chuzheng..."

"Hold him down." Chuzheng commanded San Mao.

San Mao: "..."

San Mao steeled himself. In any case, he was going to offend them, so he and his men restrained Brother Huang.

"Ji Chuzheng, what are you trying to do!" Brother Huang howled angrily.

"I'm treating you to drinks."

Chuzheng pinched Brother Huang's chin, forcing him to drink the wine. Brother Huang struggled, but it was futile and he continued to gulp down the wine.

San Mao was a little frightened. Will they really be okay?

After finishing the bottle, Brother Huang did not seem to be affected yet, and he exclaimed angrily, "Ji Chuzheng you little bitch, who knows how many people you've slept with! What are you trying to do with me, you'd better let me go, I'll kill you..."

His alcohol tolerance is not bad.

Let's go for another bottle.

Chuzheng force-fed Brother Huang another bottle. This time, Brother Huang showed some signs of tipsiness, and his curses did not seem as energetic as before.

Chuzheng put down the bottle. "Who asked you to come after me?"

Brother Huang was starting to become more tipsy, and he responded with more curses. "Ha ha, you bitch, you've offended countless people, and it serves you right! At first I was interested in you, and you were unwilling, now I'm bored of you!"

"Who asked you to come after me?"

Brother Huang cursed fiercely, but Chuzheng's patience was running out, and she thought he was being noisy, so, she used a stick to beat him several times.

Brother Huang screamed in pain after being hit.

And he confessed.

He did not know who it was, there was only an anonymous number sending him messages asking him to deal with her. All the money was placed in a flowerbed, he had to retrieve it himself.

The sum offered was huge, and there were promises of more money after he succeeded. Since he already hated Chuzheng, Brother Huang accepted the offer.

Brother Huang clung onto Chuzheng's legs, and swore not to do it again.

"Drink." Chuzheng handed him another bottle of wine.

"I'll... I'll drink, I'll drink." Brother Huang downed the bottle of wine like a madman.

Ji Tongtong was quite meticulous, not leaving behind a single trace.

Indeed, she was the woman who managed to survive until the end of the story.

Chuzheng tasked San Mao with looting Brother Huang and his men after they finished drinking the wine.

It was said that they were discovered naked by a waiter the next day, and were nearly reported to the police.

–

Chuzheng left the KTV. the lights outside were bright and lively, and the nightlife was just starting.

She walked along the road, her eyes scanning the area leisurely.

How exactly did she end up here?

What was the purpose of the system?

Was it really just to let her spend money?

That seemed stupid.

Chuzheng could not figure out the answer to these questions yet...

The important thing right now was to find a way to get back!

But the moment she died, she had to restart, it did not seem like there was a way for her to return...

"Stop there!"

Chuzheng heard someone yelling.

Her wandering mind returned to the present, and she found that she had absentmindedly walked into a seemingly remote road.

There was someone running towards her, and was stopped a few metres away from her.

"You still dare to run? I'll let you run!"

"Weren't you being violent just now?"

"I'll show you what's violence!"

"Get up!"

"Damn it, you think I can't deal with a little rabbit like you?!"

A few people were beating up the person on the ground.

Chuzheng stared at them. It seemed that what was happening before her had nothing to do with her.

In reality, her heart was beating like mad.

This is too scary, just by strolling around, she actually ran into a situation like this, will they come and trouble her? Should she just turn around and leave? What if they treat her as an accomplice? What if they want to silence her as a witness?

Aaaahhhhh!!

What kind of trashy place is this!

She wanted to go back!

[Little miss, there is a secret mission!]

The system's cheerful voice sounded in the midst of all the violent cursing nearby.

Chuzheng asked coldly, "What secret mission?"

This system for a novice, now it was telling her that there are secret missions? Such an unreliable system!

[Secret mission: Please be friendzoned by Ye Chen. Ye Chen is the one being beaten up, don't let Ye Chen be tainted~]

Chuzheng: "???"

What in the world is a friendzone? Make him feel like he is a friend?

"You're not a system for ruining families?"

[Ah, this... is combining work and rest! And this is also part of ruining the family!] The system forcefully explained.

What does this have to do with combining work and rest?

The system thinks she is stupid!

Chuzheng considered carefully for a moment. "What if I don't do it."

[Little miss, if you don't complete the secret mission, you won't be able to leave this place! You'll keep repeating and repeating until you finish, isn't that scary?]

"..."

Which imbecile designed this system!

Chuzheng stared expressionlessly at the person being beaten up.

[Little miss, are you not going to do it? If you save him now, you might even get friendzoned! Let's go, little miss!]

"I can't win." Chuzheng explained coldly.

[But just now, you were really amazing?]

Chuzheng stopped replying to the system.

Ye Chen...

This name sounded a little familiar!

Where did she hear of it? Could it be that the original owner of this body bullied him before?

While Chuzheng was thinking, the beatings stopped.

One of them grabbed the young man's collar.

"You brat, I'm warning you, you'll regret it if you cross us again!"

They patted each other on the backs and left while laughing.

The young man was sprawled on the floor. He braced himself and tried to get up.

Unfortunately, he kept failing.

Chuzheng watched him try several times, after the fifth time, she started walking towards him.

She squatted before the young man.

With her sudden appearance, the young man looked up and saw a shocking face.

This face... Ye Chen's heart sank.

The two of them stared at each other silently for a few minutes. Ye Chen did not dare move, as he did not know what she was trying to do.

Chuzheng smiled, her clear and cold voice sounded. "Am I a friend?"

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, before a mocking look appeared on his face.

He was so unlucky today.

Meeting that bunch of thugs, then meeting Ji Chuzheng who was infamous at school.

Chuzheng waited for his reply.

But the young man continued to stare at her with that mocking look on his face, saying nothing. His look said it all, 'I've given up, just do what you want to me.'

[Little miss, you can't do it this way, you need him to acknowledge it from the bottom of his heart.]

Chuzheng: "...that's such a hassle."

[...r-really?] The system stuttered. [It should be fine, all the best, little miss!]

Chuzheng wondered what degree of recognition would one need to be considered a friend...

[Little miss, stop thinking about it for now, focus on being a friend!]

Chuzheng: "..."

Chuzheng expressionlessly held out a hand towards the young man.

The young man flinched back sharply, an unfathomable look crossing his eyes.Chapter 5Name： Author：

Chuzheng took back her hands and lowered her eyes to look at her palms.

Although her fingernails were painted black, her fingers were beautiful so why had he hid?

Chuzheng looked at him and looked back at her hands.

She stood up.

Then, she bent down and held the young man's shirt collar.

The collar strangled his neck and his air supply was cut off. Adding on to Chuzheng's strength, Ye Chen was forced to stand up.

His whole body was in pain thus, the young man could not stand still and staggered, falling down onto Chuzheng's body.

Seeing as to how Ye Chen was going to fall on her, Chuzheng released her hold and stepped back.

Ye Chen fell on the ground.

His hands burned in pain as he braced the ground.

His furious gaze turned towards Chuzheng.

Chuzheng: "..."

I did not know you were so weak!

Don't look at me like that!

It was not on purpose!

Chuzheng breathed in and pulled the young man's elbow, helping him up.

The young man struggled for a while yet Chuzheng could not feel his struggle at all as after the young man was beaten harshly, his whole body screamed in pain and he was too weak.

She helped Ye Chen to the chair beside them.

Ye Chen's eyes harbored anger and vigilance and he looked more like a bullied young cub.

Looking at his state, Chuzheng could not help but raise her hands and fondled Ye Chen's hair.

The soft-touch made Chuzheng's expression turn even stricter.

How soft!

He would not be angry if I touched a few more times, right?

Chuzheng glanced at the young man and met his furious gaze. She immediately turned away and expressionately touched his head.

One touch was a touch, two touches were still a touch!

I touch as I please so what could you do to me!

Ye Chen had been scolded, beaten, ignored and hated... But never once did someone touch his head so softly. His expression turned dark and blushed with a hint of suspicion before he flew into a rage out of humiliation.

"Enough!"

Ye Chen roared out.

The humiliation on his face made the young man's expression look dark.

Chuzheng took back her hands and rubbed her palms against her pants.

"Wait here."

Her voice was cold and was laced with no emotions.

Chuzheng bent down and stared at Ye Chen's eyes before mouthing out the words one by one. "If you run, I'll break your legs."

When Chuzheng said those words, there was only one feeling, fierce.

Ye Chen: "..."

–

Ye Chen wanted to run but he had no energy. Those people he met earlier had beaten him too harshly and now, his whole body was in pain.

Chuzheng came back with a bag of medicines.

It was really a bag.

The bag was filled with medicines of all sorts of color and he did not know what medicines were there.

Ye Chen glared at the abnormal person in front of him with vigilance.

She terrorized the school with a group of incompetent, bad students who bullied others.

Anyone who dared to oppose her would face a bad ending.

Although he had never been bullied by her, he was bullied by her group of underlings.

The young man gripped his hands tightly.

She must be thinking of ways to bully him.

It must be...

Her group of underlings could be nearby and appear later to embarrass him.

Chuzheng pulled the young man's hands but the young man did not want her to touch him and retreated back.

"Don't move."

The two people pulled back and forth until Ye Chen winced as the wound on his palm seemed to reopen again and started to bleed.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth. She must have done it on purpose!

"Tss..."

The liquid antiseptic was poured onto his palms.

Ye Chen widened his eyes slightly as the liquid antiseptic flowed into his wound and a sharp pain slowly spread across his hand.

That little bit of pain could not be compared to the pain he experienced when he was beaten.

He made zero noise and stared at the abnormal girl in front of him cleaning up his wound and pasting the band-aid.

Her fingers rubbed against his skin which was mixed with liquid antiseptic and started to feel scorching hot.

"What are you trying to do?"

Chuzheng pulled over his other hand and said coldly, "To be your friend."

"Hehe..." The young man raised his head and looked around his surroundings as a sarcastic gleam flashed through his black eyes. "Are all of you playing a game? Are you waiting for me to believe you, so that you can all embarrass me?"

He had seen this kind of trick before.

A person who only knew how to bully others said that they were a good person. How funny was it?

"No."

"I won't be tricked!"

"Oh."

Chuzheng continued to paste the band-aid.

Ye Chen observed her expression. It seemed that since she appeared, she had no change in her indifferent and cold expression.

Ye Chen was wearing the school uniform which was turning white from excessive washing. Chuzheng rolled up his pants and the young man stepped back slightly, shying away.

Chuzheng held his knee down.

"Tss..."

The young man was hurt pretty badly this time and winced. Was she purposely torturing him?

Once Chuzheng saw his reaction, she immediately let go and bit down her lips with a serious face.

She did not do it on purpose.

She really did not do it on purpose.

Before Ye Chen flipped out, Chuzheng swiftly rolled his pants up.

Blood flowed out from the wounds on the knee as well. There were even some greenish-yellow bruises mottled on his legs in which some looked to be injuries from the past and looked very frightening.

Ye Chen suddenly felt furious.

He raised his hands and wanted to cover up those bruises.

But Chuzheng held his hands and even the corners of her eyebrows were of a cold expression. "Don't move."

Ye Chen froze for a moment.

Then, he slowly moved his hands back.

Chuzheng's gaze fell on the rolled-up pants. Thinking about it, this was the school uniform of the proprietress's school.

Because the proprietress had never ever worn the school uniform, she did not think of it immediately.

She poured the liquid medicine on her hands and rubbed it on Ye Chen's leg.

Her fingertips were warm.

It was totally different from her icy cold look.

Ye Chen's body stiffened and he dared not move. He felt her hands on his skin which brought a slight feeling of itchiness.

Chuzheng suddenly spoke up. "You're from Second Junior High too?"

Ye Chen was surprised.

She did not know him?

Ye Chen felt that it was not possible that she did not know who he was...

But thinking about how she was escorted by big crowds in front and behind, not remembering him was normal.

While Ye Chen had his imagination run wild, Chuzheng had already treated his wound and proceeded to help his face.

She clearly did not need the answer to the question.

As his school uniform was already representative of the answer.

Ye Chen's face was filled with blueish-purple bruises and even had blood on the corner of his mouth. There was only one word to describe his face, tragic.

After the wounds on his face were cleaned and treated, Chuzheng glanced at his body. "There should be wounds on your body. Take off your shirt."

"I don't need your help." Ye Chen hugged himself. "I can do it myself."

Chuzheng expressionlessly nodded her head and gave the medicine to him.

"...Turn around!"

Chuzheng threw him a cold glance.

You had not even matured yet, who would want to look at you?

After Ye Chen was assured that Chuzheng had turned around, he started to treat his wounds. He could do it for the front but at the back, he could not reach at all.

In the end, he simply gave up.

"I'm done."

Chuzheng kept the medicine and stuffed the bag of medicines to him.

Ye Chen: "..."

Chuzheng clapped her hands before stuffing it into her pockets and prepared to leave.

[Little miss, you're leaving?]

Then?

[Bring him home! Didn't you see how pitiful he looks? How could you leave him here alone!? This is what a good person should do!]

Chuzheng furrowed her brows slightly.

Why was it so troublesome?

Could she not be a good person?

[...Little miss, you must work hard to be a good person! Good luck!]

For the sake of going back!

She would tolerate it!

Wasn't it just to send him back?

How hard was it!

Chuzheng tilted her head and her cold gaze fell on the young man before she asked coldly, "Where do you live?"

The dim street lights fell on the young man's body and the shadow on the ground was stretched long. The young man looked lean and thin with a hint of pitifulness.
