[Showbiz] Bankrupting My Friends

My new novel is currently being serialized. Visit my profile to read it: [Entertainment Industry] The Rise of an Overworked Employee

Pei Guangle seems like a cold, aloof heartthrob, but he's actually a goofy clown, a truly remarkable presence in the quick transmigration bureau.

Just as his name suggests, Pei Guangle has lost everything.

The System that accompanies him has always worked diligently to keep him from going bankrupt, so Pei Guangle named it Zhen Youqian: Really Rich.

But even the System's financial skills have their limits. With its heart in pieces, it can only (happily) assign a brand-new System to Pei Guangle, who's about to take a vacation.

Pei Guangle: I want a vacation, not a kid to look after!

Zhen Youqian: There are points in it!

Pei Guangle (instantly): Deal.

But when he looks at Dun Dun, the newborn System cowering in a corner, he thinks: It looks kind of useless. Can I return it?

The innocent System Dun Dun realizes it might be sent back, and immediately gets fired up, determined to find a target for its current Host.

Dun Dun: Host, Host, I found lots of targets who are perfect for you. Hurry up and become their best friend!

Looking at the little yellow chick, eagerly waiting for praise, and then at the long list of targets, Pei Guangle feels that this vacation world is going to cost him dearly.

Target 1: I have the most amazing friend in the universe. If it rains, they bring me an umbrella. If I cry, they stay on the phone with me all night!

Target 2: Wow, your friend sounds like the second-best in the world. Mine is obviously the best. I'm terrible at games, but they still help me rank up and never yell at me!

Target 3: My friend is the best!

Target 4: My...

Everyone: Who's your friend? Bring them out and let us see if they're a donkey or a horse!

Pei Guangle: the true king of the friend zone.

One day, he gets found out.

But can things really be that simple?

One strange thing after another makes him wonder:

Has he forgotten something?

Has he lost some memories?

Otherwise, why do these people look at him so strangely?

So who's actually winning over whom?
