Chapter 1 Speedrun and Forced Acquisition (06)

Fu San looked completely bewildered.

His strategy mission was completely ruined by Xin Que from the very beginning.

With Xin Que's combat strength, what's the point of him conquering anything?

[System prompt: Please complete the first stage of the strategy mission as soon as possible, and put a coat on Xin Que, who is having a mental breakdown, at the clubhouse.]

Fu San: "..."

"I'll put a coat on her?" Fu San argued with the system. "She's practically slaughtered her way through the West District, and you want me to put a coat on her? You might as well just tell me to go and die!!!"

[System notification: ...]

[System Prompt: It's not impossible to complete the mission by dying right now.]

Fu San: "..."

[System notification: Please proceed to the West District immediately.]

After a pause, the emotionless, mechanical voice added, "[Otherwise, the host will be subjected to electric shock punishment.]"

Fu San: "!!!"

Before he could start twitching and performing a shamanistic ritual in front of his subordinates, Fu San rushed out of the office and headed straight for the Maserati parked downstairs.

"Wait, boss!" the subordinate caught up. "We haven't collected the protection money for the South District yet!!!"

Remembering his mission to extort money from the people, Fu San turned to his men and ordered, "I'm leaving this to you. Don't end up with so many dead bodies like last time... And if you do, remember to clean up the bodies immediately!"

Fu San felt unlucky thinking about the men, women, and children who would risk their lives to avoid paying protection money.

The last time the protection money was collected, the conflict escalated too much, and his men went too far and accidentally killed a few insignificant civilians.

Although Wen Kun managed to suppress the matter easily in the end, he still got scolded by Wen Kun for it.

Upon hearing his subordinates' echoes, Fu San rushed into his car and headed straight for the western district.

Everything else is trivial now, nothing compares to his strategy mission.

He's an outstanding employee of the system bureau, after all. He can't be ruined by the female lead, can he?

...

Xin Que's SUV shuttled through the streets and alleys of the western district.

“The top names on the list of clubs are all business partners with close ties to Wen Kun,” Cheng Zheng explained to Xin Que, who was checking a pistol in the back row, holding up the list. “We’ve already dealt with… no, we’ve had friendly talks with the bosses of several companies. Now we have more than a dozen company owners and gang leaders left. Once we finish pushing through the West District map, we can do so.”

Xin Que put away her gun. "I'll try to finish pushing through the clubhouse side quests before I get home tonight."

...

When Fu San arrived at the West District, the sight of wrecked motorcycles and corpses scattered on the roadside was shocking.

They were all Yuan Er's henchmen.

When we arrived at the central street of the West District, the Emerald Sea Club, which stood in the middle of the street, had become deserted.

The lights around the huge gold sign were off, and the luxury was tinged with a subtle desolation.

"……ah?!"

A trembling henchman was swiftly grabbed by Fu San, crying, "No...don't kill me!!!"

Upon seeing that it was Fu San, the younger brother gradually calmed down.

“Mr. Fu…” The underling was limp and incoherent, “Boss Yuan, Boss Yuan has been arrested! He never came back… It was Xin Que who came back… the entire club… the entire club…”

Fu San's gaze fell on the blood seeping from the crack in the door of the private room at the club, and his heart sank.

Xin Que has returned, and the club has already fallen victim to her wickedness.

Upon opening several private rooms, one could find that, without exception, the occupants were all familiar faces—high-profile clients.

Whether by coincidence or not, these customers who died with their eyes wide open were all characters who had abused Xin Que in the story.

[System notification: Please complete the strategy mission as soon as possible.]

Otherwise, if the mission fails, I will immediately report to the main system and send you back to the human world.

Fu San: "!!!"

He shuddered at the thought that he was a death row inmate about to be executed.

No, he signed a contract with the system to complete tasks in order to free himself from the predicament of being sentenced to death, rather than sitting idly by and waiting to die.

Thinking about his experiences in the human world before becoming a mission taker, Fu San felt extremely annoyed.

Fu San cursed inwardly. He was arrested and sentenced to death for accidentally killing a few poor bastards while involved in organized crime. He thought that once he completed all the tasks given by the main system and was given a high-ranking official position with generous benefits, who would dare to use the rules to suppress him?

No matter how much you curse in your heart, your body still has to work hard to complete the task.

Fu San searched the entire club but couldn't find Xin Que anywhere.

The mechanical voice in his ear continued to urge him to complete the task as soon as possible. He was already frustrated from searching for people, and the system kept bothering him. In a fit of anger, Fu San cursed, "What else can you do besides nagging me?"

"I don't even know where she is in the West District right now, so at least give me a mission hint!!!"

[System notification: Please pay points to obtain Xin Que's coordinates.]

Fu San glanced at the amount of points he needed to pay and nearly choked on his own blood.

"One hundred thousand points?!" Fu San was furious. "Are you some kind of skinflint? I worked my butt off completing quests across ten worlds to earn one hundred thousand points, and now you want to empty my savings just to buy a hint?!"

[System notification: Impotent rage.]

To buy or not to buy?

Fu San gritted his teeth, "I'll buy your father!!!"

[System notification: Sensitive words detected in the conversation; 10,000 points deducted from your civility score.]

Fu San's vision went black.

[System prompt: Please complete the current task as soon as possible.]

Otherwise, the electricity cost for the electric shock punishment will be deducted from your points.

Fu San: "You motherfucker..."

[System notification: Sensitive words detected for the second time in the conversation; 10,000 points deducted from your civility score.]

Fu San was dumbfounded.

...

In the end, Fu San received news related to Xin Que.

Zhao Quanlong, a gang leader from the Tianlian Gang who had a good relationship with Yuan Er, the head of the West District, made a phone call to Fu San.

"What's going on?!" Zhao Quanlong seemed to be speaking to someone in the background, which was noisy, and he deliberately lowered his voice.

"Fu San, why did Xin Que bypass the North District and go straight to the West District?"

Zhao Quanlong couldn't understand why Ren Yi, the person in charge of the North District, hadn't managed to win over Xin Que, even though he had sent the letter to him as a precaution.

So many people couldn't defeat Xin Que alone? And Xin Que even managed to storm into the West District, and even into their Tianlian Gang?

Xin Que's arrogant voice still echoed outside the building.

"Hand over Zhao Quanlong! I'll spare the lives of the rest of your gang!"

The sounds of gunfire and volleys from the east and west almost made Zhao Quanlong's heart leap out of his throat.

The walls vibrated and hummed.

Fu San saw the smoke rising from the Tianlian Gang in the distance and fell silent.

Zhao Quanlong is one of the clients Wen Kun specifically requested to torture Xin Que in the story.

"Fu San!" Zhao Quanlong's still-shaken voice came through the phone, "Quickly bring people to save me! Xin Que has even come knocking on our door..."

Fu San hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.

It's incurable.

It's hopeless.

Just wait to die.
