I'm Useless, but My Host Is Powerful

Because nobody wanted to be a shameless, spineless simp, and System 404 was terrible at its job, its performance collecting simp points was always dead last.

After a wave of layoffs, 404 was reassigned to a small world. The Main System told it that if it couldn't successfully collect simp points, it would be sent back to the waste processing station for formatting.

Terrified, 404 made a bold promise, then realized it had made an even bigger mess.

With tears streaming down its face, 404 was already packing for the recycling station when it discovered that its Host had completed the task in a way it could never have imagined.

#Your choices matter more than your own hard work. Applause, please!

After Jian Zhi was killed, he was unexpectedly saved by System 404, which claimed to collect simp points. To repay the favor, and to protect his own life, he agreed to work with 404, doing everything he could to collect simp points from Huo Qiyue, the child of destiny.

But Huo Qiyue was every bit the child of destiny: bad-tempered and homophobic, as if no one in the world was worthy of his attention.

Jian Zhi gritted his teeth and fawned over Huo Qiyue, rain or shine, for six months, enduring countless cold shoulders, jeers, and humiliations...

Though the simp-point tally stubbornly remained a big fat zero, Jian Zhi finally saw a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel.

Then 404 discovered in horror that it had picked the wrong target. The real target was Huo Qiyue's twin brother, Huo Xiuchen.

Jian Zhi: ...

So what was the last six months? Had he just been working for free?

Huo Qiyue hinted: "You can ask me for anything now. I won't refuse."

Jian Zhi: "Then send me your brother's contact information."

#One-on-one ending, CP is Huo Xiuchen
