The system hadn’t mentioned that the reason for the enormous reward was that the missions were extremely difficult. The world had already collapsed once, which was why the reward was so generous!
Lin Zheng exclaimed, “Four billion?! Holy crap! Four billion! With that much money, I won’t have to be a wage slave when I go back!”
Even if she was a wage slave chosen by fate, she didn’t want to do it anymore!
“There’s no way in hell I’m doing something like this!”
The system was just about to persuade her when it heard her add, “No one else would do it, so I’ll do it!”
The system greatly admired her internally.
What a refreshingly unconventional host!
The system encouraged her:
System: [With such determination, Host will definitely succeed!]
Lin Zheng: “Of course I’ll succeed!”
For four billion, she would do it!
“Isn’t it just sleeping with a man? I’ll just treat it as paying for a male escort. If I’m not going to sleep with him, why waste the opportunity…”
The system hurriedly corrected her:
System: [Host, it doesn’t work like that! You have to take it slowly. You need to study how to do it and follow the mission progression!]
System: [As the villainous female supporting character, Host’s goal is to corrupt the male lead mentally and physically, create trouble for him and the female lead, and make their love story even more complicated, thrilling, and dramatic…]
The system described it with such twists and turns, such passion and grandeur!
As someone who had read the original novel, Lin Zheng understood exactly what the system meant by “corrupt.”
It could simply be summarized in two phrases.
Mental contamination. Physical conquest.
She propped her chin up.
“Not bad. The male lead is a virgin. As the first person to get a taste, I’m definitely not losing out.”
A clean man, tons of money—the heavens were finally showering her with wealth!
System: [Host, rest assured. The male lead is very self-disciplined and completely clean!]
System: [Even if his willpower is astonishing, after Host gives him one dose of medicine, won’t he immediately turn into a lovesick beast? Host can do whatever she wants, whatever she wants…]
Lin Zheng nodded in agreement.
“You’re right!”
One person and one system were scheming together in the most shameless way, completely disregarding the male lead’s fate.
Meanwhile, Gu Yanche, who was cooking, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Back in the room, after Lin Zheng finished talking with the system, she felt that her future was suddenly bright.
She lay down, the corners of her lips curling upward.
The missions were triggered randomly, so all she had to do was wait.
As for going to work?
She was doing missions now!
She could just treat it as an immersive work experience!
Once she earned four billion and returned home, she’d become a rich woman and wouldn’t have to work anymore!
“Dinner’s ready!”
Gu Yanche pushed open the door.
The moment he saw Lin Zheng grinning to herself, he immediately turned around and walked back out.
He was afraid she hadn’t given up on her wicked intentions and would try to force herself on him again.
System: [Host, the male lead cooked dinner and is calling you out to eat! What a perfect devoted husband!]
Lin Zheng was stricter than the system.
“Cooking is only the most basic requirement. To qualify as a devoted husband, we have to see whether his cooking is actually good. At the very least, it needs to look, smell, and taste good, right?”
System: […]
What a demanding host!
The system admired her even more!
“So good! So good!”
At the dinner table, Lin Zheng kept praising him inwardly.
As expected of the male lead’s cooking. It really is delicious!
From this, one could infer that Gu Yanche’s manual skills must be excellent too!
Gu Yanche noticed that Lin Zheng was eating much more than usual that evening.
Her appetite had improved.
While eating, Lin Zheng secretly glanced at Gu Yanche.
That handsome face was exactly her type.
His features were somewhat anime-like, and his lips looked incredibly kissable.
And especially his body…
She had secretly seen it before, and it was enough to make someone drool.
Lin Zheng’s gaze was blazing as it repeatedly swept over him. Even Gu Yanche couldn’t ignore it.
He looked at Lin Zheng and couldn’t help speaking up.
“No. After dinner, I’m going out to set up my stall.”
Lin Zheng casually replied, “Sure. Whatever you say!”
She was lost in her fantasies and hadn’t heard a word he said.
She was basically replying to a message she’d already marked as read without actually reading it.
Gu Yanche looked at her suspiciously.
Why has she suddenly become so agreeable?
After dinner, Gu Yanche washed the dishes.
Lin Zheng leaned against the kitchen doorway and watched him.
She and Gu Yanche were renting a one-bedroom apartment with a living room and kitchen for 1,000 yuan a month.
The kitchen wasn’t large. One person fit comfortably, while two people would be a squeeze.
Standing at the doorway didn’t get in his way.
Lin Zheng’s gaze fell on his exposed forearms.
The muscles were subtly defined, with just the right lines when he exerted himself.
And his hands were long and slender, incredibly good-looking.
Even washing dishes, he was a pleasure to look at.
As expected, beauty was truly enough to satisfy the appetite.
What a beautiful picture of a handsome man washing dishes!
Lin Zheng crunched on an apple, becoming more and more satisfied the longer she looked.
Men of this caliber are rare!
Gu Yanche noticed Lin Zheng’s scorching gaze, as though he were standing there completely naked.
Fortunately, he was wearing clothes.
If he weren’t, wouldn’t she pounce on him immediately?
Gu Yanche sped up.
As soon as he finished washing the dishes, he rode his three-wheeled cart out to set up his stall.
His movements were practically those of a man being chased by a tiger!
Lin Zheng tossed away her apple core and clicked her tongue.
“Good thing you escaped quickly!”
But can you escape forever?
System: [Host, you need to follow him! When the male lead sets up his stall, women will come asking for his contact information. You need to display the jealous side of a villainous female supporting character and make a huge scene, making the male lead dislike you even more!]
Lin Zheng asked, “Does that count as a mission?”
System: [It does. Host makes trouble, the male lead becomes disgusted with you. Once his disgust reaches its peak, the mission will be nearly complete.]
Lin Zheng thought about it.
“So you’re saying that as long as I make the male lead hate me faster, I can get taken offline faster, and then the mission is complete?”
System: […That’s how it works, I think? Yes, definitely! But it has to happen within three months. If it happens too quickly and the male lead hasn’t regained his memories yet, that won’t work.]
Lin Zheng waved her hand.
“Got it, got it! It’s hard to make someone like you, but easy to make someone hate you!”
She was full of confidence!
Lin Zheng changed out of her pajamas, put on loose shorts, an oversized T-shirt, and flip-flops, grabbed her phone, and headed out.
Niu Hulu Lin Zheng was making her grand debut!
Man, get ready to tremble!
Following her memories, Lin Zheng headed toward the night market where Gu Yanche set up his stall.
There were many people at the night market. A university town was nearby, so most of the customers were students.
“I’m telling you, the guy who runs that scallion-pancake-noodle stall is insanely handsome!”
“You haven’t seen a man in too long. You’d probably think even a pig was handsome!”
“I’m seriously not lying! He’s really handsome! There isn’t a guy this good-looking at our school. Even the celebrities can’t compare!”
“He’s handsome enough to reach the heavens!”
“Why not just say he’s handsome enough to reach the Milky Way?”
“Ugh, why don’t you believe me? Come with me! Today I’m definitely getting his WeChat!”
The two girls headed toward Gu Yanche’s scallion-pancake-noodle stall.
Lin Zheng didn’t have a job, while Gu Yanche worked during the day and came out at night to sell scallion-pancake noodles.
He was working two jobs to support the household.
“Boss, two deluxe scallion-pancake noodles!”
Gu Yanche didn’t even look up. His hands moved skillfully.
“Okay. Please wait a moment.”
One girl nudged her best friend with her elbow and whispered, “Did you hear that? Isn’t just his voice enough to get someone pregnant?”
“I’m telling you, once I saw him take off his mask to drink water. He was seriously unbelievably handsome!”
“If I could date him, I’d be willing to sacrifice three pounds of my body fat!”
Her best friend: “Stop dreaming!”
“His voice is nice, but who knows what he actually looks like? What if you’re just starving and have no standards anymore?”
The girl: “I swear! He’s really handsome! He’s a top-tier specimen! Just wait. I’m going to ask for his WeChat when I pay!”
Her best friend: “You really are starving.”
Gu Yanche finished making the two portions.
“Your scallion-pancake noodles.”
The girl scanned the QR code to pay, then took a bite.
Her face immediately lit up with amazement.
“Boss, your scallion-pancake noodles are so delicious!”
“My classmates and I all love them. Sometimes our classes end late, and by the time we get here, you’ve already sold out and packed up. Could I add your contact information so we can place orders in advance?”
“It won’t delay you packing up. We’ll have someone sneak out to pick them up!”
Gu Yanche looked up at them.
“Pre-order? How many people are in your class?”
The girl hurriedly replied, “More than eighty! We’re a large class!”
There weren’t actually that many—at most, just over thirty.
But she could buy extra and give them away!
Getting the contact information of such a handsome guy was already a win for her!
Gu Yanche thought it was feasible.
If more than eighty people ordered, even if only half of them placed orders, he could make quite a bit of money.
He could even deliver them.
“Sure—”
“No, you can’t!”
Lin Zheng suddenly rushed over.
“Stop right there!”
She puffed up her cheeks and put on an extremely jealous expression.
“You’re not allowed to add my brother’s WeChat! You can only add mine!”
