Premise: A small golden finger + an ordinary heroine + a growth arc + a male lead + a hoarder
The heroine is an ordinary college graduate who finds herself unemployed right after graduation. She has an eccentric, offbeat personality, a resilient spirit, and some rather unusual priorities.
I woke up one day as Xia Chen, a seasoned web-novel reader and miserable accounting drone, unemployed the moment I graduated. After a shady recruiter made me so furious I nearly had a heart attack, I woke up again,
While everyone else fought tooth and nail at the stations, she relied on her talent, "Seasoned Perk Hunter," to scrimp, calculate, and fleece her way to the top.
My future goal? Exploit every loophole until it's picked clean! Team up to clear a stage? I'll go solo!
My inventory backpack needs more space, portable lunchboxes are a must, and the vending machine has to be upgraded and modified...
Then, just as she'd made her declaration, reality slapped her in the face. In no time at all, she signed a soul-binding contract with a masked guy from the interstellar frontier whose talent was "Structural Control."
"Working alone is too inefficient." His mismatched eyes narrowed. "I'll help you pry those loopholes open wider."
Xia Chen: "...Big guy, are you really here to help?"
Mo Yuan: "No. I'm here to teach you how to make the System beg us to stop fleecing it."
After they bonded, things gradually went off the rails:
While others solved puzzles and fought to survive in a horror library, the two of them were correcting the underlying instructions.
While others fought over Lighthouse points in the rankings battle, the two of them went straight for core permissions.
While everyone else was still scheming against each other in the train cars, the two of them had already created a miniature world's prototype and obtained the black card of a "World Holder."
System alarms blared nonstop, and the main controlling consciousness quietly added them to its "Long-Term Observation (High Risk) List."
Meanwhile, the train's newly awakened consciousnesses, Adam and Eve, clung to their legs and shouted, "Dad! Mom! Take us with you while you fleece the System!"
Chapters 1-5 are amazing, but the later chapters are completely uninteresting, like an expository text. I suggest dividing the reading into chapters: one on the crisis, one on the solution, and chapters 1-3 on the characters' reactions. Feedback should make up at least 30% of the content, otherwise it's really tiring to read.
It didn't look good after that abyss came out.
