It's just a grocery store.

Nothing to do, no desires, no wants—this was his current state of mind, completely at peace. Lying in bed at midnight, his right hand holding his phone to watch anime, his left hand reaching out to grab the can of Coke from the table, sucking through the straw.

He took two sips and threw it to the other side, turned over, scratched his back and started watching anime again.

When Xiao V saw the message pop up, he saw that it was from his mother. He did not dare to neglect it and reluctantly exited the animation interface to read the message.

Anyway, it's just the same few things, urging me to find a job, urging me to go on blind dates. It seems that my mother has never contacted me for other things. Lingshi frowned and thought of the unpleasant things that happened before.

On the chat interface, the message from the other party was a voice message and an address. I glanced at it briefly and saw that someone's relative's company was hiring and asked him to go for an interview.

I didn't reply at midnight, so the opponent immediately exploded and sent messages one after another, as if he would not give up until I got to midnight.

Lingshi was afraid of his mother, so he had to agree to her request and went for the interview the next day.

Although Lingshi had agreed to it on the software, he only went out slowly the next morning to print his resume. He yawned as soon as he went out. He couldn't sleep at all that night and was woken up by the alarm clock after only two hours of sleep.

He had been working all night for several days in a row, and suddenly he was asked to go to bed early and get up early, but he just couldn't do it no matter how hard he tried. So he had originally planned to work all night, go for the interview, and then come back to sleep, but he fell asleep accidentally.

I felt that I had taken the interview very seriously when I woke up at midnight, but just as I walked out of the printing shop with my freshly printed resume, a billboard suddenly fell down.

At that time, Lingshi was still thinking that the warm paper in his hand felt quite comfortable. His mental state was so bad that he lost consciousness before he could react at all.

When he regained consciousness, he shouted "Fuck", but when he looked around clearly, he lost his voice again.

There was nothing around, it looked like a blue room with no boundaries, or more like the other-dimensional space in novels and anime.

Lingshi rubbed his head and couldn't figure out what was going on, then he realized that he had no so-called wounds on his body, not to mention that he had just been smashed by an advertisement, so how could it be so intact.

At this time, a voice finally sounded to clear up his confusion. A light board appeared in front of him at midnight, and a cute facial expression appeared on it.

System: Hello, host, I am your system! ??(ˊwˋ*)??

Zero Hour: I think this thing is just trying to be cute.

System: How rude! How can you say that to me?

The expression on the light board immediately changed to "?(?`^′?)?" and the voice just now sounded.

Lingshi: "Don't try to trick me. These are all leftovers from my play. You are still too young."

System: (????e???) Host, you are going too far. I just want to get closer to you... Let's get back to the topic.

It was really difficult for it to read out these words in a mechanical voice, and it was also difficult for Lingshi to hear a hint of grievance. If it hadn't changed its expression so quickly, Lingshi would have planned to apologize.

Who told us to be so well-mannered? We should comfort the baby if it cries, but it didn’t cry, so let it go.

System: After detection, the host has died 24 hours, 53 minutes and 8 seconds ago, so this system has bound you to become the host to work for this system. If you have any questions, you can start asking the host.

Midnight: ...

Hearing from someone, no, a system, that I was dead was such a novel feeling. But why should I be bound and enslaved by you even after I die? Shouldn't I just rest in peace after death, you bastard!

At zero o'clock, I felt like a dinosaur passing through and destroying everything. I just wanted to die again. I didn't feel anything when I died anyway, so I thought I had gained something. But in the end, I was bound to this inexplicable system and came back to life.

Lingshi stared at the light board in front of him, which was the system, with resentment, and said lightly:

"Can you untie me? I don't need to be resurrected."

System: Host, what are you talking about? I had such a hard time getting it back from the Black and White Impermanence. Don’t say such things casually!

The light board in front of him was dyed red, and the facial expressions on it changed one after another. It can be seen that this system is really intelligent and has an emotional module.

Lingshi scratched his head and could only coax the furious system in front of him into agreeing to bind. The system was quite angry. Even after Lingshi agreed, it still remembered what he had just said and its expression was sulking.

Seeing this, Ling Shi could only use his ultimate move and change the subject.

Lingshi: By the way, Tong, what is our mission? That is, what will you do after you bind me to your bond?

The system's attention was successfully diverted, and it began to introduce him:

"Hmph, host, you asked the right question. I am a trading system. The more transactions I complete, the more energy I gain. Of course, it also depends on the value of the transaction."

Lingshi nodded, not quite understanding. The system's panel showed a doubtful expression and asked him if he understood. Lingshi honestly told it that he didn't. The system had a frown on its face and could only elaborate.

System: Simply put, it's barter, just like buying things normally, you exchange money for items. Our goal is to trade with various people in exchange for their more valuable things. For example, the most common is money, and then there are intelligence, weapons, technology, etc.... And every time you complete a transaction, you will earn points, and then you can use the points to buy things in the mall. Host, do you understand?

Lingshi: I understand. I know I understand. You explained it so well.

The system showed a proud little expression and immediately issued the task.

System: Now I will take you to another world to complete the mission. Do you have any other questions?

Zero Hour thought about it and asked a question. The system was puzzled after hearing it, but it was not a big deal. The system quickly agreed and opened the time tunnel to let Zero Hour in.

Lingshi took a deep breath and looked at the tunnel for a long time without going in. The system thought something had happened.

System: What's wrong with the host? Is there anything else?

Zero Hour: Ah, it's my first time traveling through time, so I'm a little nervous, hahaha. By the way, I really want to take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments, is that okay? Wait, I think I'm dead.

system:……

Then an invisible force pushed Lingshi directly in. Lingshi widened his eyes and immediately put his hands in front of his face, hoping not to fall flat on the ground.

Damn, this system guy is really like the eunuch who is anxious even though the emperor is not!

After a burst of white light, Lingshi lost consciousness again. The system sighed, and then sent him back to Lingshi's original world to open a short account. He made some illegal operations there, and then took care of everything. After confirming that there was no problem, he went to Lingshi.
