Chapter 2: It's shrunk.
The system was unwilling to elaborate on its origins. "Host, let's bind now!"
Lin Liu saw a transparent screen appear in front of him, flickering on and off, asking, "Choose to bind to the distribution system?"
"Hurry up and say yes, hurry up and say yes!" The system was extremely anxious. If Lin Liuyi didn't choose yes, it wouldn't have the energy to find another host.
Just as Lin Liuyi was about to tap "Yes," she added, "After we're bound, you won't devour my soul or anything, right?"
The system was about to click "yes" when Lin Liuyi suddenly withdrew her finger, causing its heart to race. Hearing Lin Liuyi's question, it said irritably, "I'm just a distribution system. I don't have the function you're talking about."
No, weren't you not scared just now? Why did you start to get scared when it came to binding?
The system secretly criticized her.
Lin Liuyi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the system's reply, then made up his mind and clicked "Yes," after which the screen in front of him disappeared.
"and then?"
That's not right. After binding to the system, shouldn't the task be issued?
"Then, host, just wait. I'll submit your article to all realms right now." After being bound, the system no longer had to worry about running out of energy and being forced into hibernation, continuing to wander the universe.
"Then what am I supposed to do? Is there a mission or something?"
Lin Liuyi's expectation is that after having a cheat system, he will start to dominate the world and reach the pinnacle of life, right?
"Oh, there are no tasks. I'm just a distribution system; I just need to distribute your articles. Host, just keep writing your novel, the more the better!"
Upon hearing what the system said, Lin Liuyi deflated like a punctured balloon.
So I'm still doing the same old job!
What happened to the promise of dominating the battlefield? What happened to the promise of reaching the pinnacle of life?
This cheat code is a bit useless!
The system noticed that Lin Liuyi seemed a bit down and quickly comforted her, "Host, don't worry, things will be better once we have readers!"
Fine, what else can we do?
Lin Liuyi forced himself to stay alert. After chatting with the system for a while, he realized he hadn't finished his writing task for the day yet, and he couldn't afford to lose his perfect attendance record.
She finally finished her tasks for the day after some tapping and tinkering. She yawned, saw that it was getting late, and knew she had to get up for work tomorrow, so she quickly went to wash up and rest.
While Lin Liuyi was asleep, the system was figuring out how to better deliver the article.
Don't be fooled by how easily it made itself out to Lin Liuyi; it's running out of energy. If it can't deliver successfully the first time, it doesn't know if it will be able to deliver it the next time!
After carefully studying Lin Liuyi's novel, it decided to use the female protagonist's name "Su Mingyue" as a keyword and send it to everyone in the myriad worlds named "Su Mingyue".
Once confirmed, the system began one-click distribution.
Lin Liuyi was still fast asleep in a sweet dream, unaware that her system was secretly praying for a reader's response.
She hurriedly washed up in the morning, squeezed onto the subway, and started her busy work at the company.
Finally able to catch her breath, she took the opportunity to open the novel's backend and take a look.
Sigh, nothing has changed.
"Lin Liuyi, go pick up a package for me!"
"Yes, supervisor!"
"Lin Liuyi, look at this piece of garbage you've created! Have you even made a new project proposal yet?"
"Didn't you just say it was new half an hour ago? I just picked up your package!"
"Stop making excuses! When you can't do your job well, all you do is make excuses! If you can't do your job well, look for the reasons within yourself. Have you even tried?"
Lin Liuyi had a busy morning and even got a severe scolding from his supervisor.
"Ugh!"
She sat in her seat, resentful. She felt she hadn't tried hard enough, and the proposal had been completely altered according to the supervisor's requirements, yet in the end, it was all her fault.
"Alright, Liu Yi, stop thinking about it! Let's go eat!" Jiang Yun, her dining companion, called out to her.
That's true, eating is the most important thing in the world!
The two happily went to eat again. After returning to the company, Lin Liuyi still couldn't give up and checked the novel's backend again.
Wait, what is this?!
"Dear author, your reader has donated [amount] yuan this time."
Lin Liuyi stared in disbelief at the message notification sent from the back office. She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things.
Sure enough, when she opened her eyes again, the amount had changed to yuan.
Oh, or maybe I'm just seeing things.
wrong!
"Wow, this is incredible! What's going on? I just saw something like 10!"
"Hmm? Host, are you calling me? I'm not called Fortune, I'm the Distribution System. Yes, the system will split the rewards 50/50!" The system said, sounding quite happy.
Unexpectedly, it succeeded on its first try! Someone even gave the host a reward!
"I know, but I can't call you a small share, that's not important. Make a fortune, don't you think taking half is a bit too much?"
Lin Liuyi hadn't expected to receive many tips before. After all, when she was writing, she would be overjoyed if a reader tipped her even 1 yuan.
She never expected it to be 10 yuan, and the system instantly took half of it. She was so heartbroken she could hardly breathe!
That's 5 yuan! It would take her several months of work to earn that much!
"Host, there's a reason I'm sharing the money. This reader tipped you with interstellar coins, which I need to convert into Earth coins before you can use them. All of this requires energy!"
The system sensed Lin Liuyi's dissatisfaction and quickly tried to explain, since it would still need the host to write articles to earn rewards and accumulate energy in the future.
"Interstellar coins? How much did this reader tip me?" Lin Liuyi asked curiously.
"Oh, not much, just 100 million interstellar coins!"
"One million!" Lin Liuyi was shocked, then she became anxious, "How come it only becomes 100,000 RMB? That's a huge devaluation!"
"Host, this is based on the purchasing power of the two world currencies, absolutely fair and honest!" When the system saw that Lin Liuyi was questioning it, it immediately argued its case. It was a law-abiding and good system.
"Well, it seems like interstellar currency is experiencing severe inflation!"
Lin Liuyi felt a little regretful, but then cheered up, because he had earned 5 yuan!
"Lin Liuyi, revise this proposal again and hand it in to me before you leave work today!"
"Supervisor, I..."
Lin Liuyi was thinking that she would quit this lousy job now that she had made 5 yuan!
Then I realized the money hadn't arrived yet, so I decided to wait a little longer.
"How are you?" The supervisor was a little worried when she saw that Lin Liuyi looked like she didn't want to work anymore. If she really forced Lin Liuyi to leave, she really wouldn't have many people to do the work.
"It's nothing, supervisor. I'll do it right away!" Lin Liuyi reverted to her previous timid and submissive demeanor.
The supervisor breathed a sigh of relief.
