Ning Qing returned to her rented apartment, and the system's deduction of points began belatedly.

230 points deducted.

The host currently holds 1920 points.

Ning Qing, who was munching on bread: Cat, you're a bit slow to deduct points this time. That's not like you.

The system, clutching its points in space, chuckled to itself: "Host, this interstellar society is dangerous! Everyone can carry a gun. Why don't you buy a bulletproof vest or something, just in case?"

Ningqing...

Kitten, know when to stop, don't bite off more than you can chew!

The system scoffed, "Fine, I won't buy it then!"

Ning Qing lay sprawled on the bed, looking at the damaged door lock, and only then did she remember that she needed to change the lock.

Ning Qing: Little cat, do you have a door lock?

The system... was momentarily speechless.

Host, this is the system shop, not a general store!

Ning Qing: Didn't you say that as long as you have points, you can have whatever you want!

System... Um, I don't think anyone uses points to redeem something like a door lock!

Only a weirdo like the host would have such a strange idea!

Ning Qing opened the terminal she was wearing on her wrist and finally found a lock-changing shop. She placed an order, paid, and arranged for the shop to come and fix the lock the next day.

System: Host, actually, when I erased their memories, I did something else.

Ning Qing: Oh, what is it?

System: Although I can erase their memories, I cannot immediately heal their wounds.

So I planted a seed in their memories that the injuries on their hands were most likely inflicted by that group from the underground casino.

After all, they had a conflict over some resources some time ago.

This makes perfect sense.

Ning Qing: Is it the casino where the original owner incurred gambling debts?

System: Yes, host, that casino is more than just a casino.

There, anything can be traded as long as you have money!

Moreover, the casino owner is truly inhuman! His subordinates specially recruit a group of people to lure ignorant people into the casino to gamble.

Those who solicit customers for casinos, for the meager share of money the casinos give them, betray their conscience and cheat those around them.

They come from all walks of life; some may be your close friends, while others may be classmates or acquaintances you haven't seen for years.

It's absolutely impossible to defend against!

Nine out of ten people who go in to gamble lose. Most of them are lured in by people around them without knowing what's going on, and by the time they come out, they are already burdened with gambling debts.

Ning Qing: So the original owner was also lured into the casino in a daze like this? And in the end, she had no choice but to sell herself in the club to pay off her gambling debts?

System: Yes, that's how it is.

That's why the original owner hated underground casinos so much, as well as the person who dragged him into them.

Ning Qing: So what is his wish/mission?

System: The original owner's wish was to see the harmful casino disappear.

And then there's the person who dragged him into the casino, so he could experience the feeling of being burdened with gambling debts.

Ning Qing nodded.

System: Host, the casino has been able to stand here for so many years because of the powerful forces behind it.

This task is difficult!

Ning Qing: Hmm.

System: It's okay if the original owner's wish cannot be fulfilled! Our safety is the most important thing!

Ning Qing: ...

The system... felt a strange pang of regret; it shouldn't have accepted such a difficult task.

Ning Qing was very uncomfortable with the system's sudden concern: Cat, have you been possessed by something strange?

system……
