The system had enough, it had followed its host since this morning for this latter to change his name. The system never knew there were so many formalities required just to change a name, wasn't it just a name?! What was an identity document or a birth certificate?

The system never knew these kinds of documents even existed.

Fortunately, its host was smart and had brought all the required documents or they would have to come back. After waiting all morning in this hot weather, the system didn't want to spend another second here. The air conditioner was broken so the room smelled like stinky feet with everyone's sweat mixed.

Why today of all days?! The system thought.

"Ah!" Asato stretched his arms, he was tired. He had sat in a chair all morning. Fortunately, the fluffy creature was like an air conditioner, as long as Asato was near him he wouldn't feel hot. So even if he wore a ski suit, he would feel alright.

However, the system didn't seem to know that, which meant it was someone else's work. He couldn't think of anyone besides that traitor of Qin Huer. Asato looked up to the ceiling while walking, which made the system amazed by its host's talent and blinked. Thanks baby.

[Host-]

"Ah! It feels good to be outside." Now that he had finished the first procedure, he could take a break. Spotting a park on the other side of the justice building, Asato went to sit on the bench.

[Host, System is overheating. Can't we go somewhere cooler?] The world seemed foggy and it couldn't think straight anymore. He was going to melt under the sun. It was even hotter than inside the waiting room!

The system observed the people around him and all of them were like him, they were almost naked and some even had a fan. So how the hell did his host stay in this hot climate without sweating while wearing a coat?! Was that a special skill that only criminals possessed?!

"Sure." Asato smiled when he saw that the fluffy creature was nearly dying. "Only if you tell me that guy's credit card pin number." How was he supposed to live if he didn't know that information?

Asato put his headphones on and sighed when he didn't see any familiar song names. Well, he will just leave the headphones on, at least people won't find him strange if he was talking alone. Though they wouldn't find him odd talking alone because of his headphones, they would still think of him as weird. Under this crazy sun, who could wear a coat and still smile? 

[What?] In this temperature, the system's brain didn't work as well as it used to. If he was in his normal state, he would have found it strange for him to feel anything but since it wasn't, then he could only fall into Asato's trap.

"I tried to find it this morning but didn't. However, the only cash that he had was used for the taxi, how could we go somewhere without money?" Asato made a dramatic face as he downloaded some games on his phone. That guy didn't have very many possessions at all. What's the point of having a phone if you don't use it?

[Huh?] Indeed, no one had ever requested the pin of a credit card. Now that it thought about it, just how did his previous hosts have money?

"You, as the system, know everything. So rather than telling me their past, their roles or whatever you wanted to say to me, try to find the pin. Which numbers did Andrew press when he was paying? Which numbers did he click when he went to the bank to withdraw?"

[Huh...]

Asato showed System the weather forecast on his phone, "Look, they said it will be even hotter than now."

[Hotter than now?!]

"Yes but since I can't fly and I am not a thief, we can't go anywhere. So this what it means to be completely broke. But at least I am not alone here. Let's stay here together. Now, we can only sit here in this hot temperature, on the street and wait for our death."

When System heard the word death, it immediately searched for the correct numbers. The system didn't know what kind of punishment it would receive if the host died again. Since the host didn't give a damn, then wouldn't it be the one to pay the price?

After a few seconds, the system had found it, [The number is___]

Asato smiled brightly, "Cool. Thanks, doggy."

[Doggy?]

"Since you are like my pet, I had to find a name for you, so doggy? Princess doggy?"

[I am a male!]

"Okay doggy, whatever you say," Asato said in a cheerful tone. 

[...] The system or the doggy didn't have much energy left. The world swam before its eyes as the sun kept burning his fur.

Pitying the doggy, Asato touched doggy's head and the system didn't feel hot anymore. Doggy couldn't help but be curious and ask himself just what happened. A few moments ago, it thought it would die from the heatwave but instead of embracing the heat, all he could think about was the sensation of the wind on his fur. The refreshing sensation made by the gust of wind made Doggy happy. But the next second he was stunned because of its host again. It saw its host smiling sweetly. Who was this person?!

The doggy went to hide behind a tree but, quickly came back when he saw the countless insects on the tree.

Asato just smirked at the panicked doggy, having a pet was quite fun. Should he ask Qin Huer if he could bring doggy home?

Now that Asato could use the credit card as he wished, he was in a good mood. This Andrew was very rich so why should he restrain himself?

Just this morning, he found several documents that stated Andrew owned several estates that added up to millions of dollars. Not only that, Andrew was a shareholder of Micrasift, Helene Shope and some company that he forgot the name of. So much money to spend, if Asato didn't use it then he would be stupid.

Don't worry Andrew. Your money will have a good life with me. I will take care of it.

"Let's go doggy. What do you want to eat?"

[Ice cream!] The system always wanted to try eating, it couldn't but since it was with a criminal maybe he could eat? Criminals could be useful.

Asato chuckled which made the people around him looked at him oddly. They all thought to themselves, just who is that guy talking to? The people wanted to move away but when they saw the headphones, they thought he was talking with someone on phone. They sighed in relief and smirked, they've done that too. Then they noticed his outfits and shivered. How could anyone besides a madman wearing a coat during the heatwave? 

"Sure, let's go. But before we do, I need to make a withdrawal."
