System name: “Beastliness Rating” Monitoring and Punishment System. Beastliness Rating monitoring: The System automatically scans the entire courtyard. When a character feels malicious, scheming, greedy, or otherwise negative and intends to act on it, the System assigns them a Beastliness Rating of low, medium, high, or off the charts, then issues Lin Feng a [Punish the Beast Task]. Completing a [Punish the Beast Task] successfully earns rewards based on its difficulty and how well it was done: Punishment Points, skill books, and items from the era. Punishment Points can be used to exchange for cash (renminbi, grain coupons, meat coupons, fabric coupons, and more), upgrade skills, and buy goods from the System Mall, special items, information fragments from the future, and more.
