Born Under an Ill-Fated Star? What Kind of Sneaky System Is This?

Xia Xuan, who had just charged in for love, now sits in the interrogation room, staring at his phone with a speechless expression.

I hit someone, so I hit someone. It's not like I wanted to rat out my buddy.

But couldn't he understand my hint?

"You didn't hit anyone! What does this have to do with you?" Xia Xuan tries to save Panzi one more time.

Holy crap! I did hit him!

I was the second one to charge in!

"..."

The police officer beside him gives Xia Xuan a smug look. Nice try. You thought you could take the fall alone?

With a kindly expression, he takes the phone from Xia Xuan and clears his throat.

"Panzi, right? I'll be waiting for you at the police station."

Panzi is in danger!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully activating the Deadbeat System... no, the Lone Star System.

Listening to the System's introduction in his mind, Xia Xuan looks utterly dejected.

Doing good deeds costs lifespan?

Pleasing people makes you an inch shorter?

Tricking people earns merit? Why did it have to pick me?

With no other choice, Xia Xuan is forced to embark on the path of doing "good deeds" without worrying about the consequences...
