The System Told Me to Get Myself Killed, but I Played It Like a Fool

The day senior-year student Li Mo bonded with the "Self-Destruction Mission System," his life went straight to hell difficulty. The System came up with terrible ideas every day: "Deliberately talk back to the discipline director," "draw a little turtle on your monthly exam paper," and "pick the lock on the school's storage area in the middle of the night." If he failed, it would seal away his ability to feel emotions.

On the surface, Li Mo played the obedient student. Behind the scenes, he teamed up with Wang Hao, who could see "risk warning scenes," and Su Xiaoxiao, who was good at spotting details, turning the System's missions into elaborate performances. When he talked back to the director, he slipped in a distress signal. His doodles on the exam paper concealed clues to a puzzle. And while picking the lock, he also happened to find half a chip left behind by a teacher who disappeared ten years ago.

Who knew the chip would bear a red triangle symbol and be able to interfere with the System's signal? Even more ridiculously, the "red triangle energy" the System feared so much seemed connected to Li Mo's missing father. And behind the System that urged him to get himself killed every day stood a vice principal with strange behavior.

When the System issued its ultimate mission, "Destroy the red triangle's main power switch," Li Mo flashed a V sign at the air. "You want to use me to stir up trouble? Sorry, you stupid System. We've already seen right through you."
