They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 119 - 119 Ask And You Shall Receive

Chapter 119: Ask And You Shall Receive Chapter 119: Ask And You Shall Receive “What if I ask the shop owner to accept monthly payments?

And also, he could lower the price?” she asked, thinking aloud.

The man overheard her, his expression darkening as he shook his head.

“No, little girl.

I don’t accept monthly payments,” he said firmly.

His patience was beginning to wane, and he was starting to regret discussing business with a child.

Nnenna’s face turned red with embarrassment.

She hadn’t meant to say that out loud.

“Sorry, sir,” she quickly apologized.

“I was just thinking to myself.” She took a deep breath and tried again.

“Sir, this business is very profitable,” she said confidently.

“It’s already gaining popularity, and I know it will only grow from here.

We just need a discount for now, but after six months to a year, we’ll be able to pay the full amount.

By then, the business will be earning even more.” She looked up at him with determined eyes.

“Please, if you could consider this, it would really help us.” The man frowned, crossing his arms.

He didn’t like the request.

He knew the shop was worth every bit of its price, if not more.

His voice turned cold.

“Little girl, please call your grandpa.

If your family really wants this shop, I’ll discuss it with him.” His tone made it clear, he wasn’t going to negotiate with a child.

As soon as Nnenna sensed the coldness in the man’s voice, she shrunk back slightly and immediately called out to the Love System in her mind.

“Love System, I think I just messed up!” she panicked.

“Can you please help me?” “Help you how?” the Love System asked.

“You have to be more specific.

There are many things I can do, but what exactly do you want me to do?” Nnenna hesitated for a second before blurting out, “I want him to agree to give me a 70% discount and also let us pay monthly!” “Okay,” the system responded immediately.

Nnenna froze.

“Wait…

what?” A 70% discount and monthly payments in the first year?

No reasonable businessman would ever agree to something like that.

It was practically impossible!

And yet, the Love System had just accepted her request as if it was nothing.

She was about to say thank you when the Love System’s voice rang out again.

“This will cost you 300 Good Points,” the Love System informed her.

“Okay!” Nnenna agreed without hesitation, still half convinced that this was too good to be true.

Then, suddenly Ding!

A familiar chime echoed in her mind.

“Ask, and it shall be given…

for whosoever asks, receives.

300 Good Points deducted to find favor in the sight of the owner of the shop!” Nnenna’s mind raced as she processed the system’s words.

“Ask, and it shall be given…

for whosoever asks, receives.

And finding favor…” Was it really that easy?

Could things truly change just by asking?

She had been receiving unexpected helps ever since she got the Love System, but she had never thought about it this way before.

Was that all it took, just doing good and asking?

Still stunned by the realization, she barely noticed the man in front of her rubbing his chin in thought.

“Little girl, I thought about it some more,” he finally said, his voice much softer than before.

“And I agree.

If the business is as profitable as you claim, and only if it is, I’ll give your family a 70% discount and allow monthly payments for the first year.

After that, they’ll need to pay the full amount without a discount and without monthly installments.” Nnenna “…” Nnenna froze.

‘Did I just hear what I think I heard?’ For a moment, she thought something was wrong with her brain’s ability to process speech.

Maybe her Wernicke’s area, the part responsible for understanding language, had malfunctioned.

She stared at the man, eyes wide, her mind struggling to accept reality.

Her silence stretched long enough that the man started feeling uncomfortable.

He cleared his throat and hesitated before giving her a small tap on the shoulder.

“Hey, are you okay?” Nnenna snapped out of her daze.

“Sir, are you serious?” she blurted out, still in disbelief.

The man chuckled.

“Do I look like I’m joking?” he asked, clearly amused.

Nnenna gaped at him.

“Isn’t this what you wanted?” he continued.

“You asked, and I decided to give it another thought.

And you know what?

It actually makes sense.

If your grandfather’s business does well, having him in my shop is a good thing.

I don’t know why I rejected the idea so quickly at first.

I’m glad I reconsidered.” Nnenna could only stare, her heart pounding.

The Love System is insane.

The shop owner frowned, watching the girl remain frozen in place, her expression stuck between disbelief and awe.

“Why are you still standing there?” he asked, raising a brow.

“Go and call your grandfather.

Come make the payments and sort out everything.

You can even start using the shop today.” Seeing that she still hadn’t moved, he waved his hands to shoo her off.

“Hurry up!

I have somewhere to be in an hour.

Let’s get this deal and contract done fast.” Nnenna nodded stiffly and turned, her legs moving on autopilot as she left the shop.

But her mind?

Completely offline.

She was so dazed that she bumped into three people within seconds.

“Ah!

Watch where you’re going, girl!” one woman snapped.

“Sorry,” Nnenna muttered, but she barely registered what she was saying.

Her thoughts were spiraling.

“Love System…

what just happened?” she finally asked, still struggling to process reality.

The Love System responded in an almost amused tone.

“What do you mean, ‘what just happened?’ You asked for something, and you received it.

Simple.” Nnenna blinked.

“But it was just…

that easy?” “Of course.

Ask and you shall receive.

For everyone that asks, receives,” the system repeated.

“You’ve done enough good deeds to accumulate enough good points for this reward.
