Welcome to the Rainless Region

Short Blurb:

"You ask why humans are always sad.

I say, welcome to the rainy region."

Long Blurb:

After an accident, Song Qi gets swept up in a very bizarre System. He has to complete four missions to escape this strange System, which loops endlessly.

He thinks the woman helping him complete the missions is even stranger than the System.

Ordinary looks, an ordinary figure, an unremarkable personality. There isn't a single thing about her he likes. She just...

"Who asked you to like me?"

Oh, Song Qi forgot. She can also hear his thoughts.

Shi Yan turns around and keeps walking.

Who cares whether he likes her?

Who does she care about liking her?

She doesn't care about anyone. The only thing she cares about is her mission.

Mission One:

When they first met, An Wu was an untouchable young heiress, while Chen Jian was a poor boy from a remote mountain village whose education her father funded.

But they got together.

But they broke up.

Why exactly did Chen Jian go to prison? And what did An Wu learn from her mother? What wickedness lies buried behind the story of the footprints she could never forget?

Mission Two:

Four years ago, someone reported a century-old corporation in City L under their real name for embezzlement, bribery, and collusion between business and government. The authorities sent investigators to form a special task force. Just as the investigation was about to make progress, all six investigators died in a car accident, and their case files vanished.

Worse still, the family of the citizen who had reported the corporation was brutally murdered. The six investigators' families were also threatened and harmed in various ways, leaving them all on the verge of mental collapse.

The people of the whole country were outraged, and the government stepped up its investigation. In the end, the corporation was finally brought down.

That should have been the end of it.

But it wasn't.

Lin Yingzhun, a rising reporter at GAL, one of the country's three major independent news agencies, discovered evidence that Han Zhi was still active on online platforms.

Who was Han Zhi?

Han Di's daughter.

Who was Han Di?

The unscrupulous president of that corporation.

Lin Yingzhun approached Han Zhi, cared for her, protected her, and gradually got her to let down her guard.

Then he exposed her.

A tidal wave of abuse, heedless of right or wrong, came crashing down. The violence was powerful enough.

Powerful enough that Han Zhi was willing to give her life to atone for her sins.

And then?

Lin Yingzhun regretted it.

He went through the loop 173 times, and still couldn't find her.

Mission Three:

Shi Huaizhi won that year's Human New Frontier Technology Award and became an overnight sensation.

He was the first researcher in the field of Origin Cloning to win the award.

Origin Cloning means creating a living person who perfectly matches a design, following a program specified by a machine.

Her appearance, intelligence, and physical abilities can all be set.

Shi Huaizhi could be called the leading figure in this field.

But the first Origin Clone he created escaped.

Zhang Jiamin was an ordinary girl with an extraordinary friend named Tang Sui.

She was so beautiful she looked like a doll, and she could easily come first in her grade without even studying.

But one day, she suddenly disappeared.

Who was she? What had she been through? Where had she gone?

Zhang Jiamin had no idea.

She only knew that she had no friend anymore.

Her friend had become a tiny chip.

Mission Four:

Shi Yan never imagined that the last mission would end up being about her.

She didn't want to complete it.

Song Qi asked her how she had died.

Shi Yan didn't want to answer. She only wanted to jump off a building.
