They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 108 - 108 Chain Reaction

Chapter 108: Chain Reaction Chapter 108: Chain Reaction He studied her for a moment longer, but Nnenna was already pulling her shawl tighter around her shoulders, glancing up at the darkening sky.

The time had slipped away faster than she realized.

She had to return before dinner, before anyone at the castle questioned where she had been.

“Grandpa, I need to go back home now,” Nnenna said, adjusting her shawl.

“So fast?” The old man raised a brow, but he couldn’t hide the small smile tugging at his lips.

He had enjoyed her company more than he expected.

“Give me your phone number,” he said suddenly.

“That way, I can call you next time.

You barely had a chance to eat today, and I want to make sure you get a full dish for yourself next time.” Nnenna paused, surprised by his seriousness.

After a brief moment, she nodded.

“I don’t have a phone right now,” she admitted.

“But I’ll come back to this spot when I can.

How about that?” The old man chuckled.

“Alright, alright.

I’ll be waiting.” As she turned to leave, he lifted a hand in farewell.

“Hope to see you again soon!” “Me too,” she called over her shoulder, picking up her pace.

Just before she disappeared into the crowd, she turned back and waved.

The old man watched her go, a thoughtful expression on his face.

“Old man, your granddaughter seems like a very good girl,” a nearby customer remarked with a grin.

While the others nodded in agreement.

The old man’s smile deepened.

He didn’t bother correcting them.

“Yes,” he said simply.

“She really is.” Having a granddaughter like that girl… now that would make a man wake up with a smile every single day.

The old man chuckled to himself as he packed up, his heart feeling lighter than it had in years.

Around him, customers grumbled about missing out on his food, their disappointment clear.

But he raised a hand, silencing their complaints with a firm promise.

“I’ll be back tomorrow,” he declared.

“Same spot, more food.

Come early if you don’t want to miss out again!” Satisfied, or at least hopeful, they finally dispersed, leaving him to finish cleaning up.

Meanwhile, Nnenna moved swiftly, weaving through the marketplace and slipping into the open fields beyond.

She picked up her pace, her feet barely making a sound as she navigated through the tall grass, her heart beating in time with the fading light of dusk.

Reaching the old stone wall, she paused.

Her eyes flicked around, scanning the area, ears sharp for any movement in the bushes.

Nothing.

No rustling.

No unwanted eyes watching.

Satisfied, she stepped closer and pressed her palm against the rough surface.

Click.

The wall trembled, shifting with a low mechanical whirr.

Slowly, a hidden passageway creaked open just wide enough for her to slip through.

Without hesitation, she stepped inside.

The moment her foot touched a specific patch of bare earth, one with folded grasses, the ground rumbled beneath her.

Then, without warning, it split open, revealing a set of descending stone steps.

Nnenna didn’t hesitate.

She stepped down, disappearing into the underground passageway, the entrance sealing itself behind her.

“Love System,” Nnenna called out excitedly as she walked deeper into the passageway.

“I did it.

I helped revive his business!” She tossed her head slightly, her sunglasses slipping down her nose as she rolled her eyes.

“And I didn’t just buy from him out of pity either, because, let’s be real, I don’t even have the money for that.

But I helped him get actual customers.

Real ones.

That’s what you meant by compassion, right?” She waited, expecting some praise.

“Yes, yes!” the Love System chimed in an enthusiastic tone.

“That’s exactly what I meant!

You did well, and that was true compassion!” Before Nnenna could bask in her victory, a familiar sound rang in her ears.

Ding!

A glowing notification appeared before her.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, doing for others what you want them to do for you.

You helped the old man revive his business and gain loyal customers.

You have earned 200 Good Points!

Congratulations!” The voice faded, leaving Nnenna frozen in shock.

200 Good Points?!

That was huge!

She had expected maybe 50, 100 at most, but 200?

That was practically a jackpot!

“System,” she thought, still trying to process it.

“All I did was help him out for an afternoon.

And didn’t you say that only if he were someone important in society, would i get high good points?

But he’s just a regular old man, so… why so many?” The system responded immediately, its voice calm yet filled with an odd sense of pride.

“It’s 200 Good Points because what you did today didn’t just revive a business, it set off a chain reaction for the future.” Nnenna blinked.

“A chain reaction?” “Yes.

You didn’t just save one man’s livelihood.

You saved his family.

Now that his business is back on its feet, his children will inherit something worth keeping.

It is already determined, they will take over the business, and it will thrive for generations to come.” Nnenna’s breath hitched.

“So… this was bigger than just today?” “Much bigger,” the system confirmed.

“You didn’t just secure his future.

You saved the future of his children.

That is why this moment is so special.

You’ll have to find out exactly why for yourself, but know this, you changed more lives than you realize.” “Wait… are you saying that they were already in trouble?” Nnenna asked, eyes widening.

“That his family was struggling, and what I did today actually saved them too?” “Exactly!” the Love System confirmed.

“That’s why you got so many Good Points.

You didn’t just help one person, you saved multiple lives in ways you don’t even realize yet.” Nnenna frowned, still struggling to wrap her head around it.

“But how?

How exactly did I do that?

All I did was help him with his business…” “You’ll have to ask the old man yourself,” the system replied.

“If you go back next time, ask him about his children.

Then you’ll understand.” ———————– Guys, if we move up the rankings, I’ve got stockpiled chapters here with y’all names on it!
