   "Is that system broken?" "Which one are you talking about?" "Yeah... It's really strange." "I advise you not to say that, its professional skills are top-notch." They were talking about a strange system because it had abandoned its own number, and no system knew what its number was. It called itself "Jiang Shi" to the outside world. 'Forty-three thousand six hundred and seventy-two days, one hour and thirty-one minutes after Jiang Qing left, I still think of him from time to time. Logically speaking, I'm just a system, and the troubles that can be eliminated by deleting the program always make me hesitate.' Beneath Jiang Shi's indifferent exterior, there was such a confused curiosity. "System, I want to buy a 'Autumn Water Bright Eyes'!" "Purchase successful, [Autumn Water Bright Eyes] has been equipped for you." Jiang Shi replied indifferently. 'This is the seven thousand eight hundred and twenty-fourth mission host... I usually only take a mission host through three missions before moving on to the next host... I'm... Looking for him.' 'The system shop is already open, and all sorts of random items have appeared. Because they're item-assisted, even the most powerful system host can only get an A-level rating. They've even had their appearances modified to be similar to Jiang Qing's, but their charm attribute is far inferior. They're completely incomparable to Jiang Qing.' "Favorability reached 80%, mission complete, currently calculating... Mission rating: B-level." 'Jiang Qing never needs any item assistance, and his favorability wouldn't just stay at 80%.' 'Wow! That's really tough, this mission target is insane, so difficult!' 'Jiang Qing isn't afraid of difficult missions; he can go toe-to-toe with the insane...' Thinking of this, Jiang Shi inexplicably smiled. '!!! Big Brother, you just smiled, didn't you?!?!?!?' 'Yeah.' Jiang Shi replied. 'Waaah... You're so handsome, so cool, I love you so much!' 'Jiang Qing wouldn't be like this, Jiang Qing is so cool too.' Is this longing? Is this strange feeling what humans call longing? Okay... Jiang Qing, I miss you so much, I'm... Looking for you.

    Reader note

    It's incredibly dark and gloomy. The first two books actually had the potential to be 9 out of 10. But they were written too depressingly, and the protagonist was portrayed too cruelly. So they were dragged down. The first book, you read that right. An ordinary soldier with no system. On the Eastern Front, in the Battle of Moscow, he's eaten his fill of meat grinders. All three endings end in death. The protagonist is completely insane, and dozens of his teammates have died. The second book is similar. The protagonist simply forgot to close a door. Then the female supporting character has half her body blown apart, her intestines spilling out. There are currently three volumes, but in two of them, everyone except the protagonist dies. Authentic Russian literature.
