Chapter 54 The System's New Year Sign-in Gift

[Host, wake up! There's a surprise!]

Gu Zuozuo, who rarely skipped an early morning martial arts practice, was so startled by the sudden thunderclap in her mind that she performed a bouncing jump on the spot.

"Kra!s!"

The sound of grinding teeth made the system shrink back, almost thinking its life was in danger.

[Host, New Year's sign-in bonus! There's a surprise after you sign in!]

Listening to the system's over-the-top chatter, Gu Zuozuo rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

I was so angry with that man last night that I couldn't sleep well. When I finally fell asleep, my dreams were filled with the years when the original owner was walking on thin ice and the despair in her heart when she was dying.

It's over, it's over!

Why is its host's anger level soaring so fast?

Uh... host...

"Shut up!"

The system shrank back, once again becoming a spineless quail, not daring to provoke its enraged host.

Sitting cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), Gu Zuozuo tried to calm the violence and resentment in her heart that had nowhere to be vented, and silently recited the Rebirth Sutra over and over again.

The system dared not utter a sound, watching its host's emotions, which had soared to the peak, slowly subside and then rise rapidly again, back and forth like a roller coaster ride.

After thinking for a moment, the system quietly took out some of its own money from its own coffers and secretly stuffed it into the host's New Year's gift package.

It glances at the host's fluctuating emotions, then turns to stuff some more in, glances again, and stuffs in some more, until the gift pack is completely empty. Only then does it smack its lips with satisfaction, about to praise its thoughtfulness, when it suddenly realizes something.

Why would I secretly give the host something I don't want to do? She wouldn't see it even if I did it secretly.

The system slapped its forehead, stamping its feet in frustration. Wasn't it supposed to be the host raising it? How did it end up raising the host? Wasn't that a loss for it? Could it still buy its golden skin?

Gu Zuozuo let out a long sigh of relief, opened her eyes again, and the tired look in her eyes disappeared, replaced by her usual calm and composed demeanor.

"System, please sign in."

The system seemed to freeze for a while before the familiar mechanical voice finally sounded.

[Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have received: 1 complete set of Imperial Green Jade Jewelry, 5 Snow Wolf Skins, and 1 Protective Bracelet]

[As the annual Lunar New Year approaches for the host's faction in this dimension, the system, along with all intelligent life forms across the entire star field, wishes the host a Happy New Year and hereby presents a New Year's gift pack 1*]

[During the Spring Festival, the mainframe sends a congratulatory message to the host, along with its own blessings and a robot cat butler.]

[The Poverty Alleviation and Welfare System's Niu Hao Kela wishes its host a Happy New Year!]

Gu Zuozuo was surprised; there was even a New Year's gift package, and even the mastermind behind the system sent blessings.

Meanwhile, the system inside the space was practically rolling its eyes to the heavens.

That's how the main system works. For each of the subsystems' first major holiday with the host, it sets an alarm and sends a gift, and each one is a different butler robot.

Once the user uses it, they'll realize that the butler robot is just a stupid, round, dumb robot.

Aside from saying "Good morning" and "Good night" three times a day, it couldn't see what was so great about it. Yet, every host was strangely grateful to it, and their affection for it skyrocketed.

"System, do you celebrate the Lunar New Year where you are?"
