"You've come at just the right time!"

Before Yu Ling could even sit up, she opened her mouth and began praising the system profusely.

[Ahhh, host, you said you were going to scold them, how come you're praising them now?!] The Black Cat System was furious, but for the sake of its host's mission, it obediently accepted a huge amount of bad luck.

Yu Ling was also helpless. This bad luck was getting worse and worse. Even the cultivation technique produced by the main god was frequently malfunctioning. She had only been here for a few days and had already fainted twice. The second time, she was completely powerless to resist.

Even if he wanted to show off on the show, he didn't deserve to end up in such a sorry state, did he? It's clearly bad luck!

"System, you should go out and avoid this for a while. Don't let your bad luck affect me. This mission is really disgusting, otherwise I wouldn't have let you suffer for me. Good luck!"

Yu Ling used the system and then threw it away, opening the window and casually tossing the black cat out. (Dear readers, please do not imitate this; falling objects from heights are extremely dangerous.)

[Ahhh—Host—This is the third floor—]

The Black Cat system is in free fall.

Yu Ling: ...I didn't hear you!

Ugh! When will this awful task ever end?

At this moment, Su Zhe brought a cup of rice porridge to Yu Ling's bedside and asked with concern:

"Are you feeling better? Have something to warm your stomach first. I'm sorry, it was my poor planning; I should have given you more time to rest beforehand."

"Don't blame yourself, it has nothing to do with you." Yu Ling felt a little guilty after throwing away the system, and just kept her head down drinking her porridge, forgetting her persona for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhe felt a warmth at first, but then something else came to mind, and his mood turned heavy.

Only those who have experienced sudden and drastic changes would behave so abnormally.

Moreover, he seemed to have seen Yu Ling throw the cat from a high altitude just now...

"You rest first, I'll go cancel the variety show the day after tomorrow," he said.

"Why would I turn it down? I want to go. I heard Su Susu is a special guest, and I also want to..." I wanted to ride on her lucky charm.

Yu Ling stopped halfway through her sentence. He couldn't rely on the system to distribute his bad luck forever, could he?

If the system dies, and a super-duration happens on my head, I'll die in no time. Every second longer is a testament to my awesomeness.

"Don't you dislike Su Susu?" Su Zhe asked.

"Disgusting? How could I dare!"

When it came to topics related to the female lead, Yu Ling didn't dare to use foul language like the original owner did. She said...

"Anyway, I'll definitely be able to go the day after tomorrow, so don't worry about me."

“…Okay, I’ll go arrange the schedule.” Su Zhe left with the empty bowl.

Yu Ling lay on the bed and covered herself with the blanket again, not daring to even use her internal energy, relying on the original owner's trashy body to recover on its own.

[Host, you're squeezing the system dry, waaaaah...]

The black cat system, which had been badly thrown around, limped away, intending to find a place to stay at the police station.

This way, if something dangerous happens, the police can help rescue the cat, which might even double the police station's workload.

Just as it was distracted, a piercing horn sounded.

The Black Cat System was taken aback. Following the sound, it looked over and saw a silver-gray Ferrari speeding towards it. It dodged the car with a big jump and a roll, showing considerable skill.

The car door opened, and a tall, slender figure slowly stepped out.

"Where did this black cat come from? What bad luck!"

Lu Zelong grabbed the black cat system by the scruff of its neck and tossed it to the side of the road, his practiced movements rivaling Yu Ling's throwing of the cat from the third floor. He then took out his phone and muttered to himself.

"According to satellite positioning, Han Hao should be around here. Let me see, hmm..."

Soon after, Lu Zelong, having finally found the right place, knocked on Su Zhe's door.

Seeing that the person who opened the door was a strange man, and especially one who looked quite presentable, Lu Zelong was a little annoyed. He had thought that Han Hao was straight and felt a little guilty, but it turned out that the other man was living with him!

Lu Zelong asked aggressively, "Where is Han Hao?"

"In the bedroom," Su Zhe replied truthfully, unaware of the situation.

"...So it was me who disturbed you?" Lu Zelong's thoughts went even further astray. After all, he was a yellow person, and everything he heard seemed yellow.

At this moment, Yu Ling, who heard Lu Zelong's voice, deliberately chose to get involved. Leaning against the bedroom door frame, she glanced at a certain part of Lu Zelong's body, then turned her head and rolled her eyes.

"...Come out with me, come here!"

The mockery was surprisingly effective; upon seeing it, Lu Zelong immediately rushed in to pull people out.

Yu Ling, who was already bored, gestured to Su Zhe, who was trying to stop her, to calm down, and then ran off with him.

Su Zhe had no idea what had happened. In the blink of an eye, only an empty house remained. He suddenly realized that he shouldn't have let the person go.

...

“I guessed you would come looking for me, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon. I just finished filming and recording a show and you came looking for me.”

Yu Ling sat in the passenger seat, turned her head, and stared intently at the driver.

"By the way, where are you taking me?"

Lu Zelong ignored Yu Ling while driving, increasing his speed to the maximum speed limit on the road and occasionally drifting to show off his driving skills.

He was still waiting for Yu Ling to praise him for being awesome.

However, even for her own safety, Yu Ling would not share bad luck with the driver when the vehicle is started.

Unable to garner envious or admiring glances, nor surprised shouts or cheers, Lu Zelong was rather uninterested. He quickly arrived at his destination, grabbed Yu Ling, and headed towards a secluded underground bar.

Inside the private room, Lu Zelong saw Yu Ling looking at him blankly and decided to do something to break her composure. So he started to take off his clothes, revealing his abs, but Yu Ling didn't even blink.
