One misstep, and Rong Jin transmigrated to the cultivation world.
The good news: He had a System.
The bad news: He had two.
The even worse news: The two Systems were at war with each other.
[Hello, Good Person] System: Host, please be a good person and accumulate merit. Once you have enough merit, you can go home. Remember, doing bad things will cost you merit.
[You're a Bad Person] System: Host, feel that excitement surging through your body? Grab a cleaver and get ready to do something big! If you go a day without doing something bad, you'll be struck by lightning! Doing bad deeds can extend your life, you know! You only have three days left to live!
Rong Jin: ...
Doing good = going home. Doing bad = staying alive.
Doing bad = losing merit = can't go home. Doing good = getting struck by lightning = dying.
Desperate to stay alive and make it home, Rong Jin became a two-faced schemer. In the morning, he'd help his fellow disciples sweep the floors. At night, he'd pour boiling water over the flowers an elder had spent thirty years growing.
Let's ask the people around him:
A: Senior Brother is such a great person. He brings me food every day.
B: Senior Brother yelled at me yesterday and tore up my sword manual, saying I danced around like a mosquito!
C: Senior Brother embroidered a purse for me and even helped me give it to the person I love.
D: Senior Brother took all the ice I was using to cool off, saying he was punishing his disciple. I'm so hot!
And now, let's ask his disciple.
The disciple clutched his chest and simply smiled.
Every day, Rong Jin racked his brains to find loopholes in the two Systems.
When he messed up a meal, he'd give it to his disciple and insist he'd deliberately cooked it badly for him. The Bad Person System fell silent.
When he personally taught his disciple, only to accidentally injure him, he'd insist it was for his disciple's own good, to help him grow. The Good Person System fell silent.
Finally, one day, his disciple fought back.
Rong Jin: System, help!
[Hello, Good Person] System: This is your just reward.
[You're a Bad Person] System: This is what you deserve!
