Arc 1: School Bully X Cool CEO (3)
Night.
Wang Mosi sat in the restaurant on the second floor, looking at the majestic and magnificent building opposite, but no matter how grand and gorgeous the decoration was, it could not change the fact that it was a vulgar place.
On the first floor was a very high profile bar. The level of resident singers is also very high and their consumption level is medium to high-end; they also accepted students from nearby universities as part-timers.
But only a small group people know that the building’s upper floors are its real source of income.
This casino has a very puzzling name:
[Ninth Heaven]
Upon hearing this name, Wang Mosi felt that the boss was trying to ascend.
This style of naming is seriously inconsistent with the times, ok? The boss is seriously trying to poetically challenge the moral bottom line of this world.
The bar on the first floor of Ninth Heaven does not have a name. Qian Wan worked here three or five days a week as part-timer. Wang Mosi heard that bar management had recently recommended for Qian Wan to go work on the second floor.
While Wang Mosi was discussing with the system on how low Qian Wan could lower her bottom line for the sake of money, she watched the “staff” entering below through the side door while wearing various pieces of revealing clothes and reminisced about the beautiful young lady she saw that morning.
”Don’t you think it’s amazing? Although it’s rare to find a ‘Lone Star of the Heavenly Fate,’ I managed to bump into one on my first task. I even remember Po Meng saying that the last time someone like this appeared was more than a thousand years ago. Do you think it was fate?” Wang Mosi slowly delivered some fish to her porcelain bowl of white plum rice with her chopsticks.
Rather than being a rare sight to see once a century, it was more accurate to call it a rare sight to see once millennium from how rare the fate is.
The waiter next to her retreated to a long distance. She didn’t speak loudly and her white earbuds sat snuggly in her ears, so no one suspected that she was talking to herself.
[The system has just been updated, I have good news and bad news. What do you want to hear first?] 04 and the other systems have just been created not long ago so they spent all their free time trying to patch up any bugs and improving themselves.
”I don’t want to listen to any news.” She downed her small cup of wine, wondering if she should ask the waiter for a bigger cup. Taking small sips like this was really tiring.
In the end, it was her worry of ruining her image that made her squish her temptations.
[The good news is that the difficulty of this task is really at tutorial level. The bad news is that the “Lone Star of the Heavenly Fate” you saw today was a task taken by the salesperson of the business unit, but the salesperson was not adapted to the changes in modern society because they’ve been cultivating for too long. Since you are here, the task system automatically merged the two tasks for you.]
”Stop, what do you mean? Combining different unit tasks? Do you believe me when I say that I will go back and complain to Ying Ying?” The client is so unreasonable, ah.
System 04 expressed grievances: [I am also desperate, but the reason why your salesperson’s first task is low is to find loopholes in time and to integrate the system. To tell you the truth, Wang Mosi’s task is not worth enough to mobilize a salesperson in the first place. You should think of the second task as a part-time job from the business unit. The reward for ‘Lone Star of Heavenly Fate’ task is a hundred years worth of cultivation energy.]
Wang Mosi: “…why is there such a big gap between rewards of the business unit and our emotional unit? Can I apply for the transfer now?”
System 04: [It’s too late, you’ve already taken a task.]
Wang Mosi stared: Wait and see if I won’t complain about you to the King of Hell.
[Task objective: Li Qing, desperate, unlucky, vicious, and lonely. Her career should have been successful, but the evil star was born suddenly and the villain took everything from her. Now her career is at a critical stage and may fail. Task content: Use all possible methods to minimize the influence of the villain on her.]
If it wasn’t the occasion, Wang Mosi, who had watched the content of the task, would have given 04 some fierce applause.
It’s amazing. It can be said to be luck for her to run into someone with such an unfortunate fate. Now that she’s being told to break the fate of an unlucky star since once a century, she simply doesn’t know what else to do except applaud.
”Do you know how tempting she is to me?” People is this world aware of her fate would either stay away or pity her, but the energy gained from eating someone with such a large amount of negative Qi is greatly appealing to ghosts and evil cultivators.
System 04: […The mission goal is not to eat, wake up.]
Wang Mosi felt that since the update, the system’s voice had suddenly gone from having a slick mechanical sound to a somewhat magical tone now. Se really wanted to roll his eyes and return the word ‘wake up’ to it.
”You think too much, I have passed that ‘craving blood’ period. As far as my current cultivation in the underworld is concerned, it has not yet reached the point where I need to eat her.”
However, Wang Mosi’s case is like a foodie who is full being handed a second dessert; it was difficult to resist.
Although one can bear it, it isn’t uncommon to just finish off that second dessert right?
[Do you know why this task was merged for you?] System 04 suddenly changed the subject.
”Because I am beautiful.” She replied in a split second without thinking.
System 04: Although she was not completely off the mark, its urge to kill her still swelled.
[It’s because you originally died from the “Peach Blossom Fate”. Before you died, you relied on this ray of evil spirit to mix with your grievances and then merged it with your cultivation base. If I remember correctly, you also formed heart demons after this method of cultivation….]
”Stop.” Wang Mosi rubbed the rim of the small white porcelain cup and her long straight eyelashes blocked the emotions in her eyes. Despite this, the people eating around her all looked up at the hanging light bulbs to check if they were broken; the area around her had visibly dimmed.
System 04 paused after she called to stop and came to a conclusion:
[So you carry a very powerful ‘Peach Blossom Fate,’ which is why you were put into the emotional unit. If you intervene in her life, you can get rid of her fate. The above information is the complimentary part of this task for you.]
”Where did you learn this about me?”
People who have embarked on the path of cultivation will usually turn pages from the book of life and death. Even if this system is connected to the book of life and death, it is impossible to have such detailed information on her, not to mention that she is still an internal task force.
System 04: [The answers to the above questions are part of the confidentiality code and I cannot comment on it. ]
The cup in Wang Mosi’s hand made a ‘clink’ sound and broke open. She released the pressure and put the cup on the table.
Wang Mosi turned her head and looked out the window; For a moment, she wanted to give up all these tasks.
That was when she noticed a person stepping out of the luxury car.
Wang Mosi seemed to be able to feel the freezing aura that the person gave off. The corners of her lips suddenly hooked up and she whispered:
”For your pitiful sake, this sister will graciously help you.”
System 04: …she’s obviously just a fan of the target’s face.
But besides this, there was a more important problem:
After the main system was updated, in order not to disrupt the order of the world, the power levels of all personnel were adjusted in accordance to the laws of their task worlds.
How should it tell this woman that the cup she just crushed was her last big show of strength in this world?
The author has something to say:
Thank you for the three mines! Hold the little angel’s face and try to kiss! Love you! [Comparison

TL notes
Clarification – Peach Blossom Fate is a more extreme version of Peach Blossom Luck, which greatly enhances the chances you having of attracting a partner. In other words, our mc is a romance magnet. Or a frick ton of people end up falling for her throughout her life for no good reason. A way to think of it is if someone was constantly casting a charisma spell or some kinda hypnotism to make you like em.
Lone Star Heavenly Fate = oh crap, you have mega bad luck. Like it’s so bad that it appears once 1000 years… damn, surprised our fl is still alive?
Our mc is like a tourist, going- oh hey I found someone with really really rare bad luck! And now she’s stuck with a job of having to fix it lol
I’m sad that she’s banned from showing off her powers besides that randomly crushing that cup.
