A Miser’s Delight: Milking the System for All It’s Worth

[Sweet and satisfying + theatrical money-lover x scheming "foodie"]

One day, Lian Mu suddenly got bound to a sociability System. It was supposed to bind to people with social anxiety, and completing tasks earned cash rewards. But here's the thing: she wasn't socially anxious at all!

No matter. There was money involved, so she would reluctantly pretend to be socially anxious. Besides, the System was a total airhead.

So Lian Mu completed the System's tasks while haggling with it, making as much as she could. What if the ditzy System figured out one day that it had bound itself to the wrong person?

Ditzy System: [Complete the task to receive 10,000 yuan.]

Lian Mu: "That's too little. Make it 30,000. I'm scared because there are too many people."

Ditzy System: [...]

It got haggled down again! Can we not just have fun for once?

While happily milking the System for all it was worth, Lian Mu's career was also thriving. There was just one black-hearted handsome man who kept hovering around her.

Black-Hearted Handsome Man: "I'm rich and good-looking. Why don't you like me?"

Lian Mu: "You eat too much. I can't afford to feed you."

Black-Hearted Handsome Man: "..."

Then one day, Lian Mu discovered that the ditzy System actually belonged to the black-hearted handsome man, and all the reward money had been stolen from his private stash...

Lian Mu: This is a disaster. I'll never be able to explain my way out of this!
