A collection of standalone stories.
In the wildly popular wish-fulfillment worlds, there are always ruthless villains who, for their own selfish ends, disrupt the plot and obstruct the protagonists' growth, sometimes even sending the story completely off the rails.
Even the taskers sent to reform them can get badly burned, failing their missions at best or losing both money and heart at worst.
After much deliberation, the Space-Time Administration decided that instead of wasting time trying to reform these selfish, good-looking characters, it might as well send the idle Good Deeds System to keep an eye on them.
The Good Deeds System has a bit of a bug and is somewhat unhinged now, but as long as it gets them to mend their ways and earn their own keep, that's good enough.
The scum gongs' partners: Wait, didn't I say I wasn't supporting you anymore???
[World One: Poor college student x rich older man
Also known as: My boyfriend, who cared about money and status, suddenly dumped me. I'm devastated]
Pei Wang is a poor student from an ordinary family. To fit into the so-called upper-class circle, he not only enters competitions and runs for student council, but also puts on the act of a gentle senior. Behind the scenes, he constantly makes excuses to ask his family for money, and even finds himself a rich boyfriend off campus, all to maintain his polished image.
Though Pei Wang is quite capable in his own right, the people in that circle see him as a joke. After the protagonist exposes his true circumstances and humiliates him, he gradually turns evil, eventually leaving the protagonist's company severely damaged and landing himself in prison.
"...What are you?"
At that moment, Pei Wang was coaxing his boyfriend into paying for him when he eyed the screen floating in midair with suspicion. He didn't believe a word it said, but this was clearly beyond the realm of reason.
[Host, please stop this fraudulent behavior to obtain money.]
"What? Are you kidding me? He offered."
[If you continue, 300% of the current balance in your bank account will be deducted.]
"..."
Pei Wang was so furious he nearly keeled over. He had just found a boyfriend who was loaded and a little dumb, and now this thing pulled a stunt like that.
He glanced at the black card President Shen had already taken out and refused without a second thought. But as soon as his boyfriend paid, the balance he should have had left immediately plunged into the negative.
"Come out. What's going on?"
[The deduction is 300% of the amount spent.]
Pei Wang gritted his teeth. There was nothing he could do about the System in his head, and he didn't even know where to begin.
[Host, please carry out your duties and help the new student who just enrolled.]
"Someone else can do that. I don't have time to deal with..."
[Failure will result in a deduction.]
In the end, Pei Wang gave up the chance to socialize with the wealthy-looking new student nearby. He swallowed his irritation and took the other person's woven plastic sack.
"Thanks, senior. I wanted to ask more about financial aid. Could I get your contact information?"
Pei Wang did his best to keep his expression warm, though his eyes were already full of irritation. "Sorry, I..."
[The other person needs help. Host, please fulfill your duty.]
"Sure."
The young man in a white shirt smiled, though behind the scenes he was grinding his teeth to dust.
Pei Wang thought the System was completely insane. It expected him to do every good deed, no matter what, and deducted money whenever he refused.
It also wouldn't let him ask his family or boyfriend for money anymore. Apart from a thousand yuan in basic living expenses, he had to earn everything else himself.
More than once, Pei Wang had nearly been driven to his grave by this idiotic System. But his reputation had improved more and more. Even the rumors that he had been kept by someone, which had surfaced after he was exposed, had mostly turned into sympathy, with people asking if he wanted to find someone else.
Even his boyfriend started looking at him strangely, making a point of paying for things and buying him gifts. On Valentine's Day, he even transferred 52,000 yuan to him.
[Happy holiday.]
Of course Pei Wang wanted to accept it, but if he took a 10,000-yuan gift, the System could deduct 30,000 from him.
He silently returned the transfer. After thinking for a few seconds, he typed:
[Let's break up.]
Shen Yanhe was handsome, had a way with words, and was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He was practically a perfect bachelor...
But Pei Wang had work to do now. Just looking at him annoyed Pei Wang, especially the rich second-generation kids at school. They were all so annoying.
[Don't come looking for me anymore.]
[I **** hate rich people like you the most.]
