Chapter 5: A giant meteorite (on my knees begging for flowers, rating votes, and monthly tickets)

A system?

Could you get a system without transmigrating now?

Jiang Ye was studying abroad alone, and he usually read novels to pass the time when he had nothing else to do.

He was no stranger to systems, those golden fingers in life.

The protagonists of web novels mostly obtained all sorts of systems and went on to reach the pinnacle of life.

The voice that had just sounded belonged to something called the Survival Assistance System!

Jiang Ye continued to observe his surroundings while saying silently, System, tell me about your functions and what you do.

Could this system be here to help him survive better after humanity disappeared?

He couldn't help wondering.

Of course, he still needed to confirm whether all of humanity had suddenly disappeared.

He couldn't rule out the possibility that something else had happened.

Soon, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

[Hello, host!]

[Before I explain my functions and what I do, I must first inform you of some extremely grave news.]

[What?]

[One month from now, a massive meteorite will reach the Solar System and strike the planet the host is on, causing a mass extinction of species.]

He had only just digested that line of text.

Jiang Ye was instantly shocked and stood frozen on the spot.

"What's wrong with him? Have we been found out?"

Seeing Jiang Ye standing there in a daze, the production team was also frightened and hurriedly began running all kinds of checks.

If their subject discovered them right at the start, it would be no laughing matter.

"Could he be thinking about how to let loose?"

"According to a friend of mine who studied psychology, when people have just escaped the shackles of society and broken free, they'll be ecstatic and go do the things they used to dare to imagine but not actually do."

"No, our people wouldn't. Only you people from Dragon Country would do that."

"Fuck your mother! I can't speak for other people, but you people from Stick Country would definitely blow up the chaebol buildings first thing!"

"I suggest the production team bring in a female character to tempt him into—no, to see whether Jiang Ye will do anything violent."

Filtering out the more controversial bullet comments,

Chen Danni quickly addressed the audience's questions and suggestions. "A female character will be brought in, but not in the short term, at the very beginning. At the very least, we'll wait until the six contestants are close to breaking down before bringing her on to rebuild their inner hope."

This was also part of the production team's playbook.

Once everyone had seen enough of someone surviving alone and felt it was getting dull,

bringing in a female character at that point would naturally make everyone want to see what happened between the contestants and her.

On the street,

Jiang Ye came back to his senses and started walking again.

Inwardly, he continued communicating with the system.

[System, how big is the meteorite?]

He recalled one theory about the extinction of the dinosaurs: that it had been caused by a meteorite impact.

[The meteorite is roughly as large as Neon Country's territory.]

The system's response made Jiang Ye stop in his tracks again.

Naturally, this sent another wave of fear through the production team.

The director's team began frantically going over their preparations, looking for any oversights or flaws.

Although they believed their arrangements were seamless, Jiang Ye's abnormal behavior still made them break out in cold sweat.

Before long, Jiang Ye started walking again, and only then did the production team breathe a collective sigh of relief.

The director shouted frantically, "Get the psychology expert team to give us their analysis, now! This is too abnormal. My god! What on earth has he discovered?"
