The system of getting rich takes me flying

When Lin Yu heard the system prompt that the task was completed, he was dumbfounded. What was going on? He was just preparing to eat and hadn't done anything!

Ah Fu: "Didn't the host send a few gifts to my sister's roommates?"

Lin Yu: "That's only three people."

Ah Fu: "And your sister and Lu Fei, they will provide you with a thank you number every day."

Lin Yu was surprised and said, "Lu Fei is a good kid! He seems to be a good one! By the way, where is the bearded man?"

Ah Fu: "Uncle Hu Zi also contributes a number of thanks to you every day."

Lin Yu suddenly wondered if he could use this mission to see people's hearts. After all, some people looked grateful, but no one could guess what they were thinking.

Knowing that the other person is truly grateful to you means, at least, that you haven't given your feelings to someone in vain.

Lin Yu suddenly thought: "Afu, you keep asking me to do this task of thanking the number of people, what's the point?"

Ah Fu: "You can gain a lot of merit by gaining the sincere gratitude of others."

Lin Yu: "Merit? I've heard you say this word before. What is the use of this merit?"

Ah Fu: "When accumulated to a certain level, it can bring the host golden light of merit."

Lin Yu: "?? Merit Golden Light? It sounds very powerful, what is it used for?"

Ah Fu: "The effect is unknown, maybe it can light the way for the host?"

Lin Yu: "?? Could this light be green?"

Lin Yu was a little embarrassed, imagining himself with a green light all over his forehead, which he could use to light the way at night... Well, working hard on tasks every day, and giving himself a green light on his forehead? Thank you, I don't really want it!

Ah Fu: "The specific situation is unknown, please try to accumulate merits."

Lin Yu was somewhat helpless: "Why is everything unknown? Then you should know how much merit I have currently, right?"

Ah Fu: “The system has no way of knowing.”

Lin Yu opened his eyes wide: "No way to know? What's going on?"

Ah Fu: "Merit cannot be quantified. In order to urge the host to work hard to accumulate merit, we can only use the number of people who are grateful, which can be directly observed, as a quantitative indicator to judge the host's general situation."

Lin Yu felt that he heard every word, but he didn't understand what it meant when put together. The system explained a concept, and this concept was something he had never come across before.

Although he didn't understand, Lin Yu suddenly realized something. Merit? Ah Fu was seeking merit! ?

Lin Yu's voice was somewhat dangerous: "So, you bound me just for this merit?"

Ah Fu heard the dangerous message in Lin Yu's voice, and he didn't know whether he should say it, for fear that the host would misunderstand him.

But adhering to the principle of not hiding the host, Ah Fu still hesitated and said, "...Yes."

"I read in novels that the system binds to the host in order to steal the merits of a certain world. Are you here for this purpose too?" Lin Yu's face was silent, but a volcano was ready to erupt in his heart.

Ah Fu was a little anxious: "The system is here for merit, but not for stealing. Merit cannot be stolen. It is the world's will to reward those who have made contributions.

The total amount of merit is not constant. The better the world becomes, the greater the merit will be. In a ruined world, the merit will be pitifully thin.

The host does not need to worry about gaining too much merit, which will have a negative impact on the world. The better the world becomes, the greater the host's merit will be. It is a win-win relationship between the two. "

Hearing this, Lin Yu relaxed his tense nerves a little and let out the breath he had been holding.

She sincerely didn't hope that the system that had been with her for so long had other purposes and would harm the world.

Although he was not a top-notch good person, he did not want to harm the world he grew up in. If there was any sign of something wrong with the system, Lin Yu would unbind it even if he was reluctant!

Lin Yu took another deep breath: "Ah Fu, I hope what you said is true and you are not lying to me."

Ah Fu: "Host, I can't possibly lie to you."

Lin Yu: "You are too mysterious to me. How can I trust you?"

Ah Fu: "Host, once the system is bound to the host, it becomes the host's companion system. Companion is also half of the host. Ah Fu can't lie to you."

Lin Yu was stunned. She had never thought of this concept before: "Half body? What does that mean?"

Ah Fu: "Between the companion system and the host, blessings and disasters are interconnected. We are inseparable."

Lin Yu: "Inseparable? Didn't you say that if you can't complete the task, you want to unbind?"

Ah Fu: "The limited-time mission has been cancelled."

Lin Yu: “What do you mean?”

Ah Fu: "Without a time-limited mission, the host will not be in breach of contract, and Ah Fu will no longer be able to unbind from the host."

Lin Yu: "...So, I accidentally cancelled a reason to unbind? Maybe it's even the only reason?"

Ah Fu: “Yes.”

Lin Yu had a complicated expression: "Then how can I gain merit?"

Ah Fu: "Do good deeds, keep good words, spread good thoughts, and be loyal to your duties."

Lin Yu seemed to understand: "Can you be more specific?"

Ah Fu: "There are many ways to gain merit. Planting trees, building bridges and paving roads are merits; helping others is merit; not speaking ill of others is merit; spreading positive energy is merit; and doing your job well is also merit."

Lin Yu: "Why is doing your job well also a merit? I don't quite understand."

Ah Fu: "The operation of society is a combination of various types of work. Without any one type of work, social development will be unhealthy. In each position, fulfilling one's duties and doing one's job well to make society operate in an orderly manner is a kind of merit."

Lin Yu nodded: "So that's how it is. Does not speaking evil words mean cultivating moral character?"

Ah Fu: "Yes, a kind word can warm you through the winter, but an evil word can hurt you through the summer. Even just one word can increase or decrease your merits."

Lin Yu: "I understand. The mouth is the door to fortune or misfortune. Cultivating good words is to accumulate merit through the words you speak!"

Ah Fu: “Yes.”

Lin Yu: "You said, when I gain merit, you can also gain it together?"

Ah Fu: "Yes, the system is the host's companion system. If the host is rewarded by the world, the system can also be rewarded at the same time."

Lin Yu: "You are a system, why do you need merit?"

Ah Fu: "The system needs merit to perfect itself."

Lin Yu: "Aren't you just a string of data code or a program? Why do you need to rely on merit to perfect yourself?"

Ah Fu: "!! Ah Fu is not just data, Ah Fu is a life form!"

"Life-like organism?" Lin Yu was a little curious. Is this another new concept?

Ah Fu: "An independent individual with biological consciousness and life form is generally called a life form. Ah Fu only has biological consciousness, but no life form, so he is a quasi-life form."

Lin Yu: "A life-like being with biological consciousness? Can data or programs also have their own consciousness?"

"Why not?" Ah Fu asked back.

Lin Yu was somewhat shocked. Why couldn't there be one? Would the evolution of the program eventually lead to life?

Ah Fu: "Ah Fu needs merit to advance and perfect."

Lin Yu: "How much merit do you need?"

Ah Fu: “I don’t know.”

Lin Yu: "What will it be like after you advance to perfection?"

Ah Fu: “I don’t know either.”

Lin Yu: “………Then what do you know? (ー_ー)!!”

Ah Fu: "Knowing merits is of great use to Ah Fu."

Lin Yu was speechless. This was really lonely!
