Wish System

"Wish Order System?"

After confirming it wasn't his dying hallucination, Abel's heart immediately lifted.

As expected, a transmigration isn't complete without a cheat!

This might just change my current terrible situation.

He immediately used his mind to summon the system and began to examine it.

The system interface was very simple, with four main sections: [Character], [Orders], [Shop], and [Inventory].

Clicking on Character revealed:

[Host: Gustavus Abel]
[Beginner Trading Qualification]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 10]
[Height: 140cm]
[Weight: 25.5kg]
[Lifespan: 5 years, 21 days]
[Talent: None]
[Abilities: None]
[Trading Points: 0]

Although Abel was a little disappointed that he had no [Talent] or [Abilities], he could still accept it.

After all, in his previous life, besides being handsome, he didn't have any particularly outstanding talents either.

He hadn't expected that after transmigrating, he would still be a man who was 'useless' except for his looks—no, he was a boy now.

However, he believed that this time, everything would be different.

The prerequisite was that he had to find a way to live longer.

Starting with a hellish disadvantage was one thing, but only being left with 5 years of time cast a shadow over Abel's heart.

He quickly browsed through the system's other functions.

Finally, he figured out the specific usage of his cheat.

The [Orders] section had two parts: "Accept Order" and "Release Order."

With his Beginner Trading Qualification, he could get one free "Search" attempt every 72 hours. Then, through "Search," he could obtain a "Wish Order" from a different world from the system.

By completing these orders, he could earn Trading Points, or even extra special rewards.

Free "Search" attempts could not be stacked, but "Search" attempts purchased with Trading Points or obtained through other means could be accumulated and reserved.

The "Release Order" option was currently grayed out and inactive, requiring him to reach Intermediate Trading Qualification before he could use it.

Understanding this, Abel immediately opened the system [Inventory] and then opened the newcomer gift package.

[Opening Newcomer Gift Package. You have obtained 1000 Trading Points, a Four-Star Good Review Card x1, an Order Release Experience Card x1, and a Random Four-Star Super Value Discount Limited Edition Product.]

[Four-Star Good Review Card] (Limited Edition) A one-time consumable item. Effect: When submitting an order, use this card, and the order rating will be fixed as a four-star good review. Note: Only usable for beginner Wish Orders.

[Order Release Experience Card] (Limited Edition) A one-time consumable item. Effect: After use, you can generate a "Wish Order" based on the host's needs and the rewards issued, sending it to different worlds. Note: If the wish difficulty is too high or the reward value is too low, the order may not be accepted.

With Trading Points in hand, Abel immediately opened the system shop.

[Shop] (Beginner): Three random items are refreshed every seven days, and one limited-time discount item is available at the beginning of the month. Currently, there were 5 items available for purchase in the system shop.

The first item was the Random Four-Star Super Value Discount Limited Edition Product he obtained from the [Newcomer Gift Package].

Special Product: [Red Heart] x99 (Special products do not disappear with weekly refreshes; sold out while supplies last!) Description: Anyone who has played games knows that one Red Heart represents one life.

PS: A blowout sale! Buying is earning. What are you waiting for?

The second item is a limited-time discount product for the beginning of the month.

[Talent Mutation Ray] (Purple)

Description: A blessing for those without talents, the strongest 'little pill' for ordinary people!

Effect: Deeply excavates the user's potential and mutates it into their own talent. (Takes effect immediately after purchase. Cannot be used by those who already possess a talent.)

Limited-Time Early Month Flash Sale Price: 100 Trading Points!

Quantity: 1

Time Limit: 23 hours 59 minutes

PS: Will you settle for the ordinary, or bravely take a chance?!

Then, the remaining three items are ordinary goods refreshed this week: a bunch of bananas, a piece of clothing, and a coin.

Item: [Banana Grenade] (White)

One-time consumable

Description: You think it's a banana, but it's actually a bomb~

Effect: 3-second delay explosion

Price: 5 Trading Points

Quantity: 10

PS: Banana you a bara, die!

Item: [Lightweight Bulletproof Vest] (White)

Equipment item

Description: It's just an ordinary bulletproof vest. The only advantage is probably its lightness?

Effect: Resists bullets. Defense Value: 100

Price: 50 Trading Points

Quantity: 1

PS: It only defends against bullets, not other things.

Item: [I Am Just a Passerby] (Blue)

One-time consumable

Description: It's clearly a love triangle, but I don't even deserve a name.

Effect: After use, for ten minutes, your presence will be significantly reduced, and others will subconsciously ignore you. Note: Reduced presence does not equal invisibility, so try not to stay in someone's line of sight for too long, and definitely don't do anything strange to intentionally draw attention.

Price: 100 Trading Points

Quantity: 1

PS: Huh? Who are you? Where did you come from?

Abel couldn't help but get excited!

Special Item: [Red Heart] can increase one's lifespan. 99 of them means 99 years of life!

This means as long as he has enough Trading Points, he won't have to worry about his dwindling lifespan for the time being.

Moreover, the system's surprises didn't stop there.

That [Talent Mutation Ray] was originally a purple item worth two thousand Trading Points, and now it's only 100 Trading Points during the limited-time flash sale – a massive bargain!

(Most items' value from lowest to highest is White, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red. Special items are not included in this list.)

As for the remaining 3 ordinary items, they each had their uses, making one want to spend.

However, one thousand Trading Points, while seeming like a lot, actually doesn't last long.

So, after careful consideration, he only spent 150 Trading Points, purchasing the [Lightweight Bulletproof Vest] (White) and [I Am Just a Passerby] (Blue).

Both items could be used to save his life and were things he urgently needed right now.

As for anything else, he would think about it once he reached a safe place.

After Abel finished his purchases, the two items immediately appeared in his system [Inventory].

The slots in the system [Inventory] were infinite but could only be used to store system items.

Abel immediately took out the [Lightweight Bulletproof Vest] (White) and put it on.

The black bulletproof vest looked incredibly secure just by sight, and it wasn't heavy at all, weighing about a pound. He had no idea what special material it was made of.

Then, he put his blood-stained uniform jacket back on over it.

After doing all that, he re-examined his [Orders].

[Begin searching for Wish Orders?]

[Current Searches: 1 (Free)]

Abel thought for a moment and chose to confirm.

His thinking was simple: the first time was for trial and error, to gather information, so naturally, the sooner he used it, the better.

The system immediately began to operate.

[Searching for Wish Orders. Search complete!]

[Acquired one Beginner Wish Order]

[Order Description: A young boy known as the 'Shinigami Elementary School Student' was accidentally captured while investigating a murderer. He urgently needs a sharp small knife to cut through his ropes.]

[Order Content: A sharp tool that can cut through ropes]

[Order Base Reward: A pair of Leg Strength Enhancement Shoes, 100 Trading Points]

[Order Remaining Time: 4:59]

"There's actually a time limit?"

Although the 5-minute countdown surprised Abel, it didn't make him panic.

Instead, he calmly began to analyze, gathering the information he wanted.

"It seems completing an order doesn't require adhering to any 'equivalent exchange' principle."

"Otherwise, the value of a mere ordinary knife couldn't possibly equate to a pair of Leg Strength Enhancement Shoes."

"Of course, this assumes the 'Shinigami Elementary School Student' in the order description is the one I 'know'."

"Therefore, the generation of orders is likely constructed based on this kind of 'supply and demand' logic."

"That is, the item one currently [needs] and the price one can [pay]. The true value of the two might not be equal, and whether it's a profit or a loss depends entirely on my subjective judgment."

Abel couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

It was simple, to give an example.

A person trapped in the desert, carrying a lot of gold, but having run out of water.

In this situation, what is more important: gold or water?

If someone came with enough water to get him out of the desert in exchange for his gold, what would happen?

Ninety-nine percent of people would definitely agree, because surviving is the most important thing!

As for those fools who would choose money over life, they don't need to be mentioned.

So, in Abel's opinion, the true value of an [item] fluctuates at all times based on each person's [needs].

An ordinary bottle of mineral water might only sell for one or two yuan in a normal city, but it could fetch a ton of gold from a thirsty traveler in the desert. It was roughly the same principle.

After understanding this, Abel wasted no more time and began to search the surrounding corpses with great effort.

Although most people in Freyvans were shot to death, a significant number were killed with knives, not to mention the residents who picked up weapons to resist.

So, even though the valuable items on the corpses here had long been looted, there were still some worthless 'junk' discarded here along with the bodies.

Just by looking up, Abel saw dozens of broken knives stuck in chests or lodged in bones.

Soon, he found a knife that met the requirements.

It was a pointed kitchen knife held tightly in a hand. The deceased was a man in his forties, his eyes wide with anger and unwilling to close, as if he had put up a fierce resistance before his death.

As a result, the blade of the kitchen knife, originally used for cutting vegetables, had some nicks.

If he had ample time, Abel would have found a way to search elsewhere, but now time was limited, so he could only use this to submit the order.

[Confirm order item. Begin transfer.]

Almost instantly, the pointed kitchen knife in Abel's hand disappeared.

[Beginner Wish Order completed. Customer gave a two-star rating (So-so)!]

[Comment: Are you kidding me?! I wanted a sharp knife, not a saw!]

[Two-star rating deducted 20% of the base Trading Points reward. Remaining rewards have been automatically distributed. Please check.]

"A two-star rating?"

Abel froze for a moment, then realized he had only received 80 Trading Points and a pair of Leg Strength Enhancement Shoes. His Trading Points reward had indeed been reduced by twenty percent.

"System, what's going on?"

[Please host view the specific related rules yourself (Details)]

Abel immediately opened it and understood.

It turned out that after completing each order, he would receive customer feedback evaluations, which were divided into 5 types.

One-star rating = Super bad review. Fifty percent of the base reward Trading Points will be deducted.

Furthermore, accumulating 3 one-star bad reviews will automatically lower the trading qualification by one level. If the current trading qualification is already at the lowest level, and there's no further level to drop to, the system will unbind and leave.

However, each time the trading qualification level is raised, previously received bad reviews will be cleared, and the accumulation will restart.

Two-star rating = So-so. While not particularly satisfactory, it's barely usable. Twenty percent of the base reward Trading Points will be deducted. Bad reviews are not accumulated.

Three-star rating = Normal good review. The customer's needs have basically been met. Although there are no extra surprises, it is well above the passing grade. No rewards are deducted, nor are there any extra rewards.

Four-star rating = Unexpected surprise. Not only were the customer's basic needs met, but some potential needs were also fulfilled, leaving the customer overjoyed! Fifty percent of the base reward Trading Points will be additionally increased, and there's a certain chance of receiving an extra tip from the customer as a reward.

Five-star rating = Perfect good review. An absolute positive review, leaving the customer with no room for complaint and perfectly meeting all their needs. One hundred percent of the base reward Trading Points will be additionally increased, and there's a very high chance of receiving an extra tip from the customer as a reward.

The one-to-five-star rating system not only provides great autonomy in choosing trading items but also encourages users to fulfill each customer's [Wish Order] to the best of their ability, rather than just going through the motions.

PS: The author's skill is limited, and they can't write something that satisfies everyone. If some people don't like reading this, please leave quietly. Let's part on good terms; there's no need to go around seeking attention. If you have time to waste typing to disgust others, you might as well study Mao Zedong Thought, which would be a way to improve your own character. In any case, if I see it, I will definitely ban you and delete your post. Farewell.
