Extra: System (The end)

"200121, you're back?"

The speaker was a round ball.

The system has no physical body in the real world; it is merely a collection of data that appears invisibly in the host's mind.

Upon returning to the Transmigration and Rebirth Department System Bureau, they gained bodies, which were spherical like eggs. A small light screen on top of each sphere displayed their number.

So even though everyone's bodies look the same, it's still possible to tell who's who.

System 200121 turned around, saw that it was friend number 200553, smiled, and replied warmly, "Yes, you're back. You just got back too?"

In the past, the cheat codes in the Transmigration and Rebirth Department included a personal grandpa and a personal space. But those are outdated now. The most fashionable thing now is a system.

Therefore, their System Bureau is now the largest and most prestigious department in the Transmigration and Rebirth Department. Not to mention the male-oriented section, even in their female-oriented section, there are over 100,000 systems belonging to the subdivided departments below.

System 200121 and System 200553 were manufactured in the same batch and both belong to Book Transmigration Section Sweet Romance Office. At first, System 200121 encountered a host that was too difficult to manage and its points were too low. It was System 200553 that comforted and encouraged it and came up with solutions for it, which helped it to cheer up and take on new tasks.

"Congratulations! You have the highest score in this mission, you're number one!" System 200553 said enviously.

They also receive rewards. The higher the score, the greater the reward. And the first place winner receives an additional reward.

The System 200121's round sphere displayed a complex and nostalgic expression.

It remembered that woman who never followed its lead and never bought anything from its store. But she was always the most diligent in earning points.

In the end, before she died, knowing that the system would be destroyed after she returned to the modern world with her husband, she used up all her points.

She bought Recovery Pill, Agility Pill, Great Strength Pill, and Taste Discerning Pill for her son, daughter, and grandchildren. For those who love painting and music, she bought Color Discerning Pill and Pitch Discrimination Pill, using up all the points she had accumulated.

Even after becoming Empress and Empress Dowager, and reaching her nineties, Zhao Ruxi still insisted on practicing calligraphy and painting every day. She was the most diligent among the more than one hundred hosts that 200121 had mentored, so she also had a lot of points. This led to 200121 returning to the System Bureau and finding herself ranked first on the points leaderboard.

This is the number one ranking in the female-oriented System Bureau, not the number one ranking in the Sweet Romance Office.

The female protagonists in Sweet Romance Office are basically naive and innocent; all they need to do is know how to whine, be pampered by the male protagonist, and spend his money. They don't need to put in any effort.

The system in the Farming Story Office next door generally awards higher points than that for sweet romance novels.

But now, its system, which is supposed to be a Sweet Romance Office, has a score that is much higher than the top-ranked system in the Farming Story Office, almost making everyone's eyes pop out.

"How did you do that? Do you have any tips to share?" 200553 planned to ask his friend for advice.

"It's not my doing. It's the host herself, working even harder than the female protagonist in a farming novel," 200121 said. "The system malfunctioned as soon as I left the System Bureau, and I was completely bewildered..."

Thinking about how she had been repeatedly fooled by her host, 200121 couldn't help but chuckle, "So instead of successfully turning my host into the heroine of a sweet romance novel, I was instead tricked into working hard alongside her."

200553 is becoming increasingly envious.

This is practically an easy win!

You should know that even in the Farming Story Office next door, many hosts aren't that diligent. They only get motivated to work hard when the system issues tasks and uses the rewards as incentives.

200121 What incredible luck! To encounter such a hardworking host!

"Give me some tips, like what kind of host you need to choose to make things so easy. Next time I bind a host, I'll set the conditions carefully too," it said.

200121 thought for a moment, "First and foremost, one must have a high IQ."

200553 nodded, then pulled out a small notebook from somewhere and started writing it down.

"It can't be love-struck yet," 200121 added.

200553 is recorded again.

I finished writing it down, but waited a long time for the next update on 200121.

"Anything else?" 200553 urged.

"That's all."

"That's it?" 200553's eyes widened in surprise.

Worried that her friend might misunderstand and think she was holding back, 200121 quickly explained, "Before we bind to a host, don't we have to fill in the main conditions? I filled in the highest IQ. As for being a romantic, I didn't think about that. I only realized it after spending a lot of time with my host."

"Think about it, if a woman is thinking about dating all the time, why would she bother to work hard to earn points?"

200553 wondered, "But women just want to be in love and want to be loved, so they have an urgent need for Beauty Pill and Slenderness Pill, right? If they don't date and just work hard to make money every day, do they still have any need for us?"

200121 fell silent.

Zhao Ruxi, that woman, didn't really need it. Its greatest purpose was simply to be an "informant."

"Besides, would highly intelligent people listen to you? They are clear-headed, have their own abilities to make a living, and don't need to rely on external things. Beauty Pill are not a necessity for them. They even feel that being too beautiful is a burden," 200533 added.

200121 fell silent once again.

That makes so much sense; it was speechless.

Isn't Zhao Ruxi just like that?

But as the newly crowned number one, it won't be defeated by just two questions.

It said, "You're right, they don't need Beauty Pill. But they will need things like Agility Pill, Great Strength Pill, Pitch Discrimination Pill, and Taste Discerning Pill."

"Because they have high IQs, they learn everything quickly, and their points level rises rapidly. They earn more points in one go than those idiots do in ten. Moreover, they are often diligent; once they become obsessed with something, they become completely absorbed in it, repeating it hundreds or thousands of times without getting tired. So even if they don't have any needs, their points will still skyrocket."

While this makes sense, it still doesn't resolve 200533's doubts.

Just as it was about to ask another question, a ball floated over.

Seeing the number on the top of the ball, 200533 quickly greeted it. "200001, haven't you started your new mission yet?"

This one was made in the same batch as them, and it won first place on its first mission. 200533 has always regarded it as a top performer.

200001 nodded at it, and when it looked at 200121, a complicated expression appeared on its face. It said, "You're back too?"

Seeing this system, 200121 became even more convinced of what he had just said.

This 200001 is Zhao Ruyu's system. Although it was originally a powerful figure with extensive experience in completing tasks, in the Great Jin era, it was bound to Zhao Ruyu and was completely suppressed by itself.

Because Zhao Ruyu passed away when she was in her seventies, System 200001 returned earlier than her.

After returning from the 200121 mission, I specifically checked the leaderboard, and 200001 ranked seventy-second in this mission.

After being changed by Zhao Ruxi, Zhao Ruyu worked hard to earn points later on; otherwise, her ranking would have been even lower.

Having made up its mind, 200121 didn't linger. It said, "You guys chat. I'm going to apply for a transfer to another department."

"Change departments?" 200533 exclaimed in surprise, "Where do you want to go?"

"I want to move to the Farming Story Office next door," said 200121.

As a system that had been brainwashed by Zhao Ruxi, it now felt that the products in the Sweet Romance Office Shop were not very useful. Moreover, the thought of it having to instill the idea of becoming beautiful, slim, and pleasing men in its host made it feel nauseous.

Farming Story Office is more suitable for it.

Watching its friend leave without looking back, 200533 was about to speak to persuade it when it heard 200001 say, "Wait for me, I'm going too." With that, it chased after 200121's back.

200533 stared, mouth agape, lost in deep thought.

Both of the top-ranked authors have switched to Farming Story Office. Shouldn't it switch too?
