Also known as: "How I Became a Shopping Mall Owner and Used Secret Identities to Mess with People"
"The Crazy System Fell for Me, and I’m Crazy Too" and "The One Person and One System Who Both Wanted to Kill Each Other Got Their Happy Ending."
Mu Qing was an illegitimate daughter. When the family assets were divided, she got no money, just a shopping mall.
And a shabby, messy one at that.
Mu Qing: ...
What a treacherous road ahead...
Then one day, a System descended and chose her shopping mall as its landing point.
System: "How about we make a deal?"
Mu Qing: "Pay me two million for the land, then we can talk."
System: ...
System: "Do you believe I could kill you?"
Well, well, killing me to take my mall? Mu Qing scoffed and said:
"Let’s hear what this deal is."
When everyone was pulled into an instance, the System told them to complete it and earn points. With enough points, they could buy an opportunity to obtain a life-saving item from a corresponding shop.
Otherwise, when the next instance opened, all they could do was wait to die.
Panic spread. To survive, people resorted to every means imaginable.
Mu Qing joined the instance too, but not to stay alive. She just wanted to watch everyone struggle and despair.
Wasn’t that fun?
When yet another instance ended, the person with the most points was once again Number Five.
The others stared greedily at the shopping unlock coupon in Mu Qing’s hand, as if they might rush up and snatch it at any moment.
Mu Qing waved the coupon with a grin and chuckled, "No killing people and taking their loot, okay? You bunch of noobs."
Everyone: ...
Someone finally lost patience and contacted the System. "System, don’t you find it annoying to have this person around?"
System: ...
She was a shareholder, after all. They wanted to kick her out, but couldn’t.
Later, when Mu Qing had had her fill and wanted to quit and enjoy a lazy retirement (? ), the System refused.
"You are a shareholder, and the mall belongs to the Host. This System has no right to take it over."
Hearing that, Mu Qing put on a thoughtful expression and teased, "Ah, but I’ve had my fill. There’s nothing interesting left."
"Besides this mall, is there anything else that belongs to me that might be fun?"
After a long while, just as Mu Qing thought she wouldn’t get an answer, the System suddenly took human form before her. She slowly drew closer, her snowy white hair brushing against the other woman’s pink hair. Her blood-red eyes fixed on her, and her crimson lips drew close to her ear as she spoke in a long, cold voice.
"Me."
The love interest is a split-off persona; the main body is the System.
Two female leads.
Two crazy women.
Calmly going crazy x constantly going crazy
