System: “Host, go show off! God-tier rewards are right within your grasp!”

System: “???” [Ding! Host forced a boast: Strength +10, Supreme Cultivation Technique!]
System: “Main quest issued: Go fight monsters in an abandoned psychiatric hospital!” Li Hao: “I do as I please. I won’t be shackled by your cold code. If I want to go, I’ll go. Who do you think you are, ordering me around?” System, crashed after being verbally shut down: “Ding! Quest canceled. Skill forcibly granted. Please don’t reject it, Host!”

The entire official Esper Bureau dropped to their knees: “Please stop, mighty one! The Demon King is about to be crushed by the sheer weight of your body!”
Li Hao, disdainfully patting the head of the nine-tailed fox: “Sigh. Loneliness really is my constant companion.”
