There Is No Such System

“Other people’s Systems are about romance, stat upgrades, and rewriting novels. Mine is all dragon-slaying, shooting down the sun, and stealing heavenly fire... You get it, right?” Su Bai stared at the System’s quest and fell into thought. The good news was that he’d gotten a System. The bad news was that it churned out epic, mythical quests every day, none of which could possibly be completed in the real world. At first, he tried to exploit loopholes in the quest conditions. He went to a landscaped area and twisted a fountain nozzle, pretending to quell a world-ending flood. He crouched downstairs and petted a stray dog, pretending to tame the Hellhound. But the stupid System wouldn’t budge. It was as stubborn as a mule, dangling the prize in front of him without ever giving it up. “There’s no such thing as a System like this. You made up all these quests!” Until one day “Wait, this one might actually be... maybe... possibly... doable?” “Who says you can’t complete mythical quests in the real world?” … Many years later, faced with rumors and speculation, Su Bai solemnly declared: “Everyone, don’t panic. There’s more to this than meets the eye. It’s all virtual, unreal, fake, and too much for young people to handle. There are no gods or demons in this world. We need to believe in science!”
