Chapter 868: Chapter 869 Toxic Fatherly Love 1

Zhang Yu opened her eyes to see the blank white walls, lifted her hand in front of her eyes, and thought, back to this again.

"Geez, really." The wall pattern she had bought before leaving was gone again.

"What a waste, I won’t buy it anymore." Even though she has a lot of Points now, she can’t just waste them for nothing.

"Let’s get up and walk around." At the end of the last task, her body wasn’t in great shape, and she could say she spent the last few years lying in bed, living out her remaining days.

She had thought about just letting go, after all, not being able to move freely and only lying in bed made for an unbearable existence.

But no matter what, the original host always had an idea— to send Zhang Li away if possible.

This left Zhang Yu with no choice but to keep on living diligently until she managed to send Zhang Li off, only then considering the task complete.

"Let’s settle up." The last task wasn’t too difficult; once she sorted out those people at the start, everything became much easier.

The only regret was that, towards the end of her life, she really did give a lot to complete this task.

Now she was really curious to see what grade the client would give.

Soon, the System provided a score, "Full marks."

Full marks? When Zhang Yu heard this score, she was genuinely shocked; after being a Task Taker for so long, this was seriously the first time she had received full marks.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t completed tasks with high quality before, but she’d never received full marks.

She had begun to wonder if full marks even existed, and just when she had lost all hope, the surprise came so swiftly—she actually got full marks.

What made her even happier was that the System notified her again: because the task was completed with full marks, there would be a special reward.

Upon hearing that there would be a special reward, Zhang Yu instantly sat up straight, full of anticipation: What kind of reward?

The System knew Zhang Yu well, she’s such a money-grubber, no, a Points fanatic: This time, your Points are doubled.

Wow? Zhang Yu actually hadn’t been expecting much; she just thought that since the System had spoken up, it couldn’t be too stingy.

Unexpectedly, the surprise came so quickly—it was a double Points bonus.

Looking at the Points displayed on the projection, Zhang Yu’s mouth hung open: System, I really didn’t expect you to be so generous.

The System proudly retorted: Humph, I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t hold it against you for the things you’ve said about me in your mind.

Zhang Yu had thought the System would take the opportunity to cause trouble, but unexpectedly, it just let her off. Although she was surprised, a System that doesn’t cause trouble is a good System.

Now that the System has been so generous, Zhang Yu knew she couldn’t be stingy: I’ll pick a more expensive pattern.

The System was internally delighted, just before as it entered, and saw the bare walls, it was accused of being stingy and unwilling to spend money.

Now that there were so many Points available, she immediately changed her tune, indicating a willingness to spend. Oh well, considering her compliance, this was a sign of maturity on her part.

Zhang Yu quickly chose a mid-range pattern, and when the blank wall was swiftly replaced with the chosen pattern: You really do get what you pay for.

Previously, she had thought, it’s just a pattern, you can’t look at it for long, why waste the money.

Now that she’s bought a more expensive pattern, she couldn’t help but sigh that there are advantages to pricey things.

Zhang Yu’s previously restless heart gradually calmed down, and she slowly started thinking about taking a rest.

Forget it, let’s take a break. Constantly taking on tasks, and even though these tasks aren’t too difficult for her, dealing with all sorts of emotional issues can be quite exasperating.

The System was waiting for Zhang Yu to say she’d take on another task, but no matter how long it waited, it didn’t hear her speak up, which it found very strange.

System: Zhang Yu, aren’t you going to participate in a task?

The System was getting a bit worried, wondering if he had participated in too many tasks and was feeling bad about it.

Although mood can be adjusted for a fee to remove negative energy, it’s impossible to completely get rid of it - there will always be some stubborn negative energy left over.

If that stuff builds up too much, it can really weigh down a Task Taker.

The System has seen many Task Takers who, because they accumulated too much negative energy, were unable to continue with tasks and had no choice but to quit.

The System has seen so many Task Takers come and go, many with abilities stronger than Zhang Yu’s, and they left the scene early on.

When Zhang Yu first came under the care of the System, it wasn’t much hopeful for him, thinking that completing twenty to thirty tasks would already be quite good.

But Zhang Yu’s performance has been surprising; although he has participated in so many tasks, this was the first time he scored full Points. Among all the Task Takers in the System’s group, his ranking is fairly low.

In the System’s mind, Zhang Yu’s status has certainly risen; after all, he’s the one with the longest idle time in the group.

Thinking of this, the System played some sleep-inducing music: Rest well.

Only by resting well can one complete tasks better, and the System also knows Zhang Yu doesn’t like brightness while resting, so it adjusted the brightness.

Zhang Yu had no idea how long he rested for; all he felt was that after waking up from a good sleep, he felt much lighter.

He stood up and did some stretching exercises, and as his eyes opened, the space brightened up accordingly.

Zhang Yu looked at the screen, "This Points are really worth it."

You have to admit, you get what you pay for, even with the System.

System: Thank you, next time you can buy a better pattern.

Zhang Yu, looking at the System that never misses a chance to make a recommendation, was speechless: System, seriously, I think you are a super invincible salesperson.

System: Thank you for the compliment, but I don’t think I am a very good salesperson, because you haven’t spent much.

The System felt it was quite a failure: If I were impressive, shouldn’t you have spent a lot of Points?

Well, Zhang Yu still had something to say about that: The thing is, it’s not that you’re not skilled, but that you ran into a stingy person like me.

Zhang Yu: Actually, you’ve made progress, before I wouldn’t spend a penny, but now I do spend money.

Zhang Yu knew he needed to cheer the System up, after all, it was kind of like his boss, so of course, he had to coax it into a good mood.

Zhang Yu: Don’t worry, next time I score full Points and get double Points...

The System hadn’t expected Zhang Yu to think like this and let out a sigh: You’re thinking too much, you got double Points only because it was your first time getting a full score.

Ah, no double Points for a full score next time? Zhang Yu was quite puzzled: Why not?

System: It was your first time, of course. Rest assured, though, to encourage everyone to strive for a full score, there are rewards, and an extra half of the Points will be given.

An extra half of the Points? Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief: That works.

She had thought there wouldn’t be any rewards, but now knowing that there’s an extra half as a reward, she was quite satisfied: Alright, I’ll work hard.

She says so, but she didn’t really have the confidence. The reason she was able to score full Points the last time was probably because the original owner really liked girls and felt guilty towards them.

Seeing how well Zhang Li was doing, giving a full score was quite normal. Whether she could be that lucky again next time was not something she could guarantee.

Zhang Yu yawned: System, I’ll take on a task.
