Hold on, the system and I have never been angry
Chapter 2: Resurrecting a Soul from a Borrowed Corpse
"Didn't I tell you there's a drinking party tonight? Where are you?! Don't try to act like you're sick! Do you know how important this drinking party is? Whether Peng Yu can get the male lead in his next play depends on today! Boss Wu specifically asked you to come, and you actually dared to disappear in front of me?!"
There was an extremely noisy sound on the other end of the phone, mixed with the agent's roar, which was irritating.
Chu Nian digested it for a long time but still didn't understand. Who is Peng Yu? What does it have to do with her whether Peng Yu takes the male lead? Why let her drink?
Seeing that the person on the other end of the phone was silent, Chen Weihong softened her tone: "Boss Wu also invited you to the dinner because he appreciates you. As long as you perform well, you may be able to get an important supporting role! You don't have to think too much about this matter. It's just a drink. Nothing will happen to you. Who in this circle doesn't need to accompany drinks? You should have figured it out during this period when you were suspended from work. Money is not easy to make now. Where else can you make money faster than in the entertainment industry? Don't be so angry anymore. Boss Wu is willing to give you another chance. You should pack up and come to Jingtai Hotel. I'll send the address to your mobile phone. The dinner will start soon. Do your best and don't cause trouble for yourself and me. Do you understand?"
Chen Weihong talked a lot, and Chu Nian didn't know who was who, but she was very clear about one thing, that this so-called agent wanted her to engage in some kind of power-for-sex transaction. Qian Qian exhaled and sneered, "Are you a agent or a pimp?"
"What?" Chen Weihong was stunned.
"If you want to use hidden tactics to get promoted, just do it yourself, don't tell me what to do."
"You! What's so noble about you?" Chen Weihong was furious, and wanted to get out of the microphone to teach Chu Nian a lesson, "Don't forget that you signed a contract with me! You are breaching the contract by doing this! You have to pay me a large sum of liquidated damages! You can't even take out a thousand yuan now, right? Peng Yu has to participate in a variety show tomorrow! What if he is not in good condition when he joins the group tomorrow after drinking now! Come over here and drink for him!"
"What does Peng Yu do to me? You're crazy!" Chu Nian rubbed his brows, unable to understand the logic of the person on the other end of the phone. He said disdainfully: "Since you have work tomorrow, it's your own mistake to arrange the drinking party tonight. It has nothing to do with me. Clean up your own ass! You have a big dick but a big mouth! I can smell the stench on you through the phone, what the hell! Get out!"
"Are you crazy? How dare you talk to me like that! You're just an eighteen-tier star--" Before Chen Weihong could finish her words, the old cell phone's screen went black and it automatically shut down due to lack of power... Fortunately, the charger was placed on the bedside table. Chu Nian fumbled to plug in the charger, but the phone didn't respond for a long time. It seemed that there was a power outage.
Anyway, she had no intention of going to the dinner, and she didn't want to listen to her agent's nonsense, so she wasn't in a hurry to charge.
"You take care of whatever you have to do first. I'm so sleepy. I'm going to sleep first." Chu Nian fell asleep under the quilt.
The black cat lay beside his pillow and licked its fur: "Okay."
Chu Nian closed his eyes and quickly absorbed the memories of the original owner of this body.
The original owner of this body was named Zhou Ye, a name given to him by his adoptive parents.
Zhou Ye's parents died unexpectedly when he was three years old. After his unscrupulous relatives divided up the little inheritance, they kicked Zhou Ye around like a ball. He has congenital chromosomal abnormalities, and there is no effective cure with the current medical technology on Blue Star. Once the disease occurs, it will cost a lot of money to save his life.
Because of this disease, the original owner was disliked by his uncle's family as a disaster star, and was completely kicked out of the house just after his fourth birthday. Later, Zhou Ye was picked up by his current adoptive parents when he was rummaging through a trash can on the street and brought home.
At first, his adoptive parents treated him well, and he was treated like a treasure for a few years. But later, when his adoptive parents had their own son, they gradually ignored him.
When the original owner was eight years old, his adoptive father Zhou Hongda failed in his business and was in debt. The Zhou family became increasingly poor, from initially living frugally to only giving the original owner a bite of food to keep him from starving to death. In return, Zhou Ye had to take on all the housework at home.
For several years, Zhou Hongda's career was not going well, and he gradually developed the problem of alcoholism. He often beat people when he was drunk. He couldn't bear to treat his own son like this, so he took out all his anger and resentment on this adopted son. He would beat or scold him if he was not satisfied with the slightest thing, resulting in there being almost no good flesh on Zhou Ye.
Sometimes when Zhou Ye was at school and not at home, Zhou Hongda would beat his daughter. When Zhou Ye saw this, he would always protect his sister. Zhou Hongda felt that an adopted son dared to disobey him, so he beat him harder and harder.
At the worst time, Zhou Ye went to the hospital three times in one month. Zhou Hongda refused to pay for his hospitalization fees, and he didn't even dare to prescribe more medicine. He just took the medicine and simply bandaged his wounds and went home.
A year ago, Zhou Ye's joint entrance examination score was good enough to get him into a good university. He thought he finally had the chance to leave the Zhou family and go to university in another city. However, the Zhou family was unwilling to pay for his university tuition, travel expenses and living expenses. Instead, they were afraid that he would run away and never come back, so they asked him to drop out of school and work to tie him to this family.
Zhou Ye wanted to study so much that he disobeyed his father for the first time. In a rage, his father stopped paying his tuition and living expenses, and even didn't want him to get a high school diploma.
When the head teacher learned that Zhou Ye wanted to drop out of school, he could not bear to see such an excellent child's future ruined here, so he applied to the school to waive Zhou Ye's tuition and give him a scholarship. However, the Zhou family was a rogue and took all the scholarship away. Zhou Ye had no choice but to take a year off from school to work to supplement the family income and pay off the debt, and to earn tuition and living expenses.
He didn't have a good education and couldn't get a good job. He found several jobs but they all treated him like a slave and ignored the labor law. He had to work several jobs every day and take care of all the housework when he got home. His life was very tight and miserable. Not only did he have to sleep all night, but he even slept less than four hours a day. Even so, Zhou Ye could only earn 7,000 yuan a month at most after working so hard. The Zhou family asked him to pay back 6,500 yuan a month, leaving 500 yuan for food.
Due to congenital deficiencies and years of undernourishment and lack of clothing, the original person had extremely poor physical condition and a skinny body. Fortunately, he had a good-looking face, and was spotted by a media company while working in a hot pot restaurant. He began to show his face on the Internet, and finally had some hope for a bright future.
That media company was just a start-up, not a proper agency, and would not arrange any courses for him. As an amateur, Zhou Ye had no advantages other than his face, and the company did not want to spend a lot of money to promote him, so they just let him go around as a background board for others, and create some vicious male supporting roles and male green tea characters, after all, being black and red is also red.
After finally appearing in a few small web dramas and gaining some traffic, all of them were insults against him. The online comments were overwhelming, and the words were as nasty as they could be. Zhou Ye was a person with low self-esteem and was sensitive. The more he read, the sadder he felt. The sadder he felt, the more he wanted to find some good words from them. After reading, he unconsciously fell into endless self-justification. The more he proved himself, the more insults he received. As a result, Zhou Ye became a little depressed.
Once at a drinking party with investors, agent Chen Weihong asked Zhou Ye to accompany the drinking. Boss Wu took advantage of the alcohol to commit indecent acts and touched Zhou Ye all over. Zhou Ye refused to accept the unspoken rules, but could not afford to offend the people present, so he could only use the excuse of going to the toilet to escape.
His departure was equivalent to publicly humiliating Boss Wu. Zhou Ye's agency could not afford to offend Boss Wu, let alone offend the sponsor for Zhou Ye, an unknown 18th-tier internet celebrity. In order to show his attitude to Boss Wu, Chen Weihong ordered to stop all of Zhou Ye's business activities, trying to force Zhou Ye to obey the unspoken rules.
Without a source of income, Zhou Ye was overwhelmed by the pressure from both sides, the Zhou family demanded money, and the company put pressure on him. He returned to work in hot pot restaurants, milk tea shops and other places in a dejected manner. He eventually died suddenly from a congenital disease due to overwork, ending his short and miserable life.
Earlier memories have become blurred. After so many years, Zhou Ye can't even remember his name before the age of four, and there is no way to verify his original family.
The original owner couldn’t remember it, and Chu Nian couldn’t read it for the time being.
According to the original timeline, the original owner died at home at least a week before being discovered by the old landlord who came to collect money for unpaid utilities and rent.
After receiving the original owner's memories, his body gradually fell into a deep sleep. Chu Nian's consciousness left and he came to a pure white space with many translucent blue light screens floating in it.
Black Cat explained: "This is the system space. Currently, functions such as the practice room, shopping mall, and fitting room have been unlocked."
"The practice room is a multifunctional virtual space with freely changeable modules. It contains all the knowledge reserves of the system, covering most fields. Not only does it have a text version, but it can also have holographic projection, and can simulate various experiments and emergencies. The flow of time inside can be freely controlled and can be set to be dozens of times slower than the outside world, or even absolutely still."
"The shopping mall can use the currency of the current world to purchase all items that have been or will be available in this world. As long as they exist, you can buy them. They are guaranteed to be brand new and authentic. It also supports the DIY function for some items."
"The fitting room allows the host to freely adjust the facial contours and body shape, and will automatically change all related memories and image materials."
Chu Nian followed the cat around, looking here and there and touching them, she was so happy that her teeth were chattering. Isn’t this the golden finger she had always dreamed of?
"Can the x potion you gave me to drink earlier also be bought in the shopping mall?"
"X potion is a primary item and can only be purchased with points in the item store."
"What points are you talking about? How do I get them?"
"Host, the real little world can be born in your painting because it is loved by people. Both you and your OC are very popular, so I was born. The point system is also related to this. You must gain popularity and favorability to increase your points."
Chu Nian was speechless: "...Whose favorability?"
The dog system really wants her to conquer some male protagonist, right?
The system sighed: "Anyone's will do, as long as they have a favorable impression of you."
"That's it-"
"Zhou Ye's identity information has been changed to your OC name, Lu Jinzhao. The ID card and other information and the memories of the people around him have been changed synchronously."
"Excuse me, host, do you need to adjust the face of your current body? If you don't want to do it yourself, you can directly import the model of your game character. The face adjustment will take effect when you wake up. The effect is subtle and it is estimated that it will take two months to complete the adjustment."
"I see. This is like a very realistic holographic game, right? Even though I'm a girl playing a boy's character, I'm really good at playing games!"
"That's understandable."
"Then just use my son's face, the one I use most! I spent hours shaping it in the game, let me use that face to bully the whole world!"
"Okay, do you need to adjust your body shape?" The system displayed Zhou Ye's body shape data on the light screen in front of Chu Nian.
"Height 172...? No, add 20! Double-door big boobs, eight-pack abs, a male dog waist, and long legs are all arranged! It's perfect to look thin when dressed and have meat when undressed!"
System: “…6”
"By the way, can you adjust the voice? I'm not only obsessed with looks, I'm also obsessed with voices. After all, I'm from France and I speak with an accent. You know, I don't want to be a mute groom who gets disappointed when he speaks."
"Sure, adjust it here."
Chu Nian tried for a long time and finally tuned out a male god voice that satisfied him 100%. It was neither too low nor too childish, and it was just right. He could directly take on the role of the male lead in a radio drama or the voice of a younger man.
She reached out her hand and touched the system's cat head with satisfaction: "From now on, I will call you Qiansui. This is the name of the cat in my game."
System: "Okay, from today on I will be called Qiansui."
Chu Nian adjusted the body she was about to use to perfectly match her own aesthetics. She took a long breath and collapsed on the single sofa that Qiansui prepared for her. She sipped her milk tea and suddenly remembered some of Zhou Ye's missing memories. She opened the system panel to investigate, but the data was blank. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there any data that your system can't find?"
Qiansui was obviously also surprised. He called up the light screen and checked again and again, "How could this happen? At my current level, I should be able to fully unlock the permissions of this small world... something is wrong. This is too strange."
Chu Nian said lightly: "Unless a higher-level system or authority blocks it, you can't see it."
Qiansui looked puzzled: "How do you know that there is more than one system?"
"I'm just guessing. You said you are in the primary system, so there must be intermediate systems, advanced systems, and system levels. Who would say he is in the primary system right away? It doesn't sound reliable." Chu Nian shrugged, "Besides, it's written like this in novels."
Qiansui was speechless. He had always thought that his host was just a simple funny girl.
"Although you said that Zhou Ye was chosen randomly to be resurrected, you can't guarantee that this 'random' result has not been interfered with by others, right? For example, the one who wiped out Zhou Ye's original family."
"Indeed, Zhou Ye looks like a passerby character no matter how you look at him. I guess the problem lies with his family of origin."
Chu Nian pondered for a moment, several possibilities emerged in his mind, and he smiled meaningfully: "How interesting."
Assuming that only a higher level of authority or system can block information from Qiansui, then why would there be another system in her small world that she doesn't know about? Moreover, Zhou Ye is clearly just an insignificant cannon fodder in this small world, otherwise he would not have been chosen by the system as her possessed object. What secrets in him are worth blocking by a system at least at the intermediate level?
Chitose Cat frowned and said, "Could it be the work of those guys from the Administration?"
Chu Nian captured the key information: "What management bureau? Does your system have a special management bureau?"
Qiansui frowned, "Yes, the Administration will create various systems and distribute them to some lucky people according to instructions. Of course, there are also wild systems like mine that are born naturally. The Administration will send people to evaluate them. If the evaluation passes, they will be incorporated. If the evaluation fails, they will be destroyed on the spot."
Chu Nian paused while sipping his milk tea: "What is the evaluation criteria...?"
"If it is beneficial to the citizens of the universe, it will pass. If it is harmful, it will fail."
"I understand." Chu Nian stroked the cat from time to time, carefully recalling the character's life, trying to find some clues from it. After repeated attempts for several times without any results, he sighed lightly. Did he have to find those who were related to Zhou Ye and test them one by one?
"Wow——" Qiansui grabbed Chu Nian's neck with his four claws, "Host, you must protect me! I don't want to be captured by those guys from the Administration!"
"Don't worry, I will protect you." Chu Nian laughed: "After all, if you are destroyed, I will disappear too."
