Zhi Hua was more shocked than him because he just said it in a retort.
He was watching him interact with the system in a mild jealousy when he decided to reply to his last statement as a joke.
Now he just feels at a loss for what to do. I mean it stands to reason that he can't be a 'system' because he's a human being...a transmigrated one but a human being nonetheless.
I mean other people have a system as a golden finger or buff but he just happens to become a system which is ridiculous because he has no knowledge how to be a system or what to do.
Creak
The door was heard to be open and Zhi Hua broke into a cold sweat refusing to turn back.
He seems to suddenly remember a lot of horror movies and creepy images began to form of a nasty creature behind him.
He finally gathered up the courage to turn around repeating to himself that it's just his imagination and there's nothing to worry about.
Besides this is his place so he won't let anything run around.
The result was anticlimactic and a bit humorous because he was hit in the face once he turned around.
It startled him thinking some gruesome monster attached to his face so he swatted the object away while jumping back.
Zhi Hua placed his heart over his chest while glaring at the book on the floor.
It might be his winded up state but for some reason he can swear he heard laughter too.
He calmed down then straightened himself before picking up the book stiffly brushing off his former embarrassment.
He sat down comforting himself that the chuckles he's hearing is just his mind creating sound due to his embarrassment.
The book was normal leather and the title was 'Mission guide'. He opened the book to the first line which was:
'The game should reach every person in the world'
The second line was
'The system should reach everyone in the world '
The third line was
'Figure it out yourself '
PS- Have fun 😊
Zhi Hua looked at the three lines and empty pages in a complex emotion of shock, anger and frustration.
If he could cough blood then he would with anger being the major emotional cause.
Maybe it's just a joke. It even has a smiley face at the end so it must be a joke so I just have to check more carefully.
The room was filled with the turning of paper.
Zhi Hua cursed that it's really not a joke. Wait maybe I can ask it some questions and then it'll respond.
....it did not and Zhi Hua was even more angry.
This is just abuse. Which type of lazy person even made this book; wait why do I even have to do it.
I've never felt any restrictions in the past and this is the first time I've been sincerely given work by it that sent me here.
Maybe it's not even the thing that sent me here who's the one that sent this book so it stands to reason that I don't have to do it.
Heh I'd like to see you try to force me. I'll never give into you.
Zhi Hua thought raising his fist at the door but there was no reply.
[ Main mission - Develop a game ]
[Rewards will be given after completion ]
Zhi Hua said then coughed still thinking that it's good no one is watching him.
He was feeling very valiant and proud until he remembered that he attracted a lot of attention and that means that he not only has the players but the outer god after him.
So he reluctantly went to pick up the book he threw at the door in his fit of protesting for his rights then sat back down.
He generously put his issues aside and also in his still generous state; gave that person a mission. Well he should also suffer it too and figure it out himself
'Where do you come from" Sung-Min g asked once he realized that the unreliable system was finally speaking.
[ Your whole family is unreliable ] Zhi Hua said after listening to his thoughts.
Do you think that I wanted to be unreliable too, I am as confused as you are so don't curse at me.
"You sound very human" Sung- Ming saw that it could hear his thoughts and skipped over it; well there is enough time to test it out.
Of course I do and that's because I am a human but I seem to be a worker too and without any salary but long work hours.
But he does make a point. Should I go about it in a stiff way imitating all those other systems I read about or I should just be normal and accept my human identity.
[ Does it really matter ]
Well no one can stop me so why don't I just be relaxed and enjoy this experience.
At least somewhere out there, I can brag that I was a system once in my life.
"Don't I have some sub-tasks or daily mission" Sung-Ming asked lying back on the bed staring at the ceiling
[ That was definitely a solo leveling reference ] Zhi Hua said surprised
"So is there an answer to the question or not" Sung- Ming said feeling his system was really 'unique'
[ I saw those air quotes. You meant weird right ] Zhi Hua grumbled.
Fine then, no one can accuse me of plagiarism anyway since there is no witnesses so I generously gave him the same exercise routine that Sung Ji-woo had with the same reward.
The process was still just me speaking but I'm curious where the points are going to come from.
I certainly don't have the ability to magically increase his body specs.
Another good question is whether after all this is; over am I going to retain the body that I built up.
Heh, so does that I mean I have the chance to grow a six pack without any effort.
You have to know that every boy has once dreamed of being a six pack guy without needing to sweat about it just as girls wish for a flat stomach.
Zhi Hua put those embarrassing thoughts away and tried to play a little more with the system function.
He tried to look for a map or something because he was curious what the players were doing.
This stupid book should have something else since I have to figure it out myself so I poked it a few times until something happened.
The book flipped to another empty page but the drawing of a map began to emerge on the page with moving blue dots.
It was weird to see drawing on a book move but Zhi Hua also had the urge to poke it.
"Does anyone know what happened" a gruff voice said
Zhi Hua looked at the screen once he processed the fact that he hasn't heard that voice before. It seems to be new people without the other him in sight.
"Does anyone know the person called Sung-Ming" the man asked again
Hmm, it seems like I've stumbled upon some players gathering together. Fun.
