I work in a system, and lately I've noticed that my boss's gaze towards me has been a bit strange.
In fact, once I understood my own attributes, I knew this day would come sooner or later.
As a super-rich system, I am certain that no host would dislike me, and no boss would like me.
My previous hosts were from the bottom of society, but they were kind and simple-hearted. When faced with sudden wealth, which was me, they often didn't think about enjoying life to the fullest, but rather about having to pay it back in the future.
Therefore, they always hesitated when spending money, striving to buy practical and easily circulated goods, and then become self-sufficient.
Once they're able to make money on their own, they'll kick me aside, ostensibly to let me help those in greater need, but I know they're afraid I'll one day take all the money back.
Do those people even know how to read the question? I'm the Godly Rich System! Godly Rich!
The system has no gender, so how can they equate me with those stingy men who ask for their gifts back after a breakup?
During those days, I felt like a pearl covered in dust, a real heiress who had fallen into a novel written by a poor man, and my abilities were completely unable to be satisfied.
Nevertheless, I outlasted three bosses thanks to my excellent business skills.
But I'm still unhappy. I'm resentful and lonely because my ideals have been deeply buried.
At that moment, my current boss, the most prominent figure in the entire company, appeared before me. His eyes were filled with pity, a testament to his contempt for my leadership.
I secretly vowed that one day I would outlive him just as I outliveed my former boss.
Finally, I met my destined family, the hosts chosen for me by my splendid boss. They lived an ordinary life, crammed into a one-bedroom apartment of less than ten square meters.
I know he's definitely trying to make things difficult for me. He found the poorest family in the whole city and wanted to push me below my performance limit, but I won't give up.
I didn't have high hopes for them. I thought their imagination of wealth was only about 100 million, so I immediately revealed a huge sum of 5 million to give them a shock.
However, the family did not jump up excitedly as I had imagined; instead, they smiled dismissively.
At that time, I had a vague premonition of something.
Until that woman coldly said, "A mere five million isn't even a fraction of my father's debts."
I know I have finally found my destined host!
This seemingly ordinary family is unlike anyone I've ever met before. They're always in a state of overspending, and everything they buy is beyond my imagination as a system expert.
For the first time in my life, I felt motivated to work hard.
Like a white-collar worker in a TV drama, I slammed my fist on the table and argued with my boss, "Before, they were tied to one person. How can their spending limits be the same as before? Increase them! They absolutely must be increased!"
"Okay." The main system responded softly and turned back to continue processing the light screen in front of it.
I felt inexplicably frustrated that I didn't get the obstacles I expected.
What saddened me even more was that he didn't notice at all that I was no longer the same as before. I was no longer a tiny ball of light, but now I shone like a basketball, the most radiant of all.
Nevertheless, I only possess half of its power, but I believe that with the host's abilities, I will soon be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with it, or even take its place...
Of course, as a book-loving and cultured person, I have no intention of rebelling. However, the 76-episode drama "Empresses in the Palace" teaches us that it is very dangerous for someone to be too powerful and overshadow the emperor.
To avoid the fate of being discarded like a cunning rabbit after it dies, or a good bow after the birds are all gone, I lay down after setting a target of one trillion in ten days for my host.
I thought that after the limit was removed, the host family would restrain their spending desires, but it seems that they never had that thought in their minds.
When I woke up after a month of being in a coma, I found that I had grown bigger than my boss, and I almost dared not look at their total spending.
I carefully extracted the key moments from their recent period and discovered that they had turned themselves into arms dealers.
They hoard all the world's high-tech weaponry and have also bought up numerous gem mines around the world.
But that doesn't matter, because my conspicuous physique attracted my boss's attention.
It let out a cold laugh in my ear, and I knew it contained wariness, mockery, and disdain.
I closed my eyes sadly, knowing full well that being envied by one's boss is the fate of all working people.
"It seems that you've been absorbing energy well during this period."
This is a warning!
I looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, showing my round profile to demonstrate my unyielding spirit, but my mouth involuntarily uttered, "It's all thanks to your teaching."
This filthy workplace environment has ultimately tainted my pure soul.
I saw my boss blink twice, and at that moment my mind was racing.
I uttered my speculation in disbelief, "Could it be that your health is failing? The humiliation of the past was just a test for me; you've always been grooming me as your successor."
"Although I have no intention of causing trouble, I will certainly not let you down. I will work hard, so please go with peace of mind!"
If the system had tears, I would definitely cry out loud.
My boss coughed twice in a humane way, which further confirmed my suspicions.
"Read fewer fantasy novels..."
I was very reluctant to part with him, but remembering that these were my boss's earnest instructions before his death, I could only agree with tears in my eyes.
"They've all ruined their brains."
Upon hearing the second half of his sentence, all my emotions were choked up inside me. I couldn't understand how he could use such vicious language to criticize his successor!
As if sensing my confusion, the boss slowly spoke, "Our company has a total of three thousand systems scattered across three thousand worlds. I can absorb 20% of the energy that each of you obtains."
I tentatively asked, "Will I definitely be honest and upright after I take office?"
The main system sighed, "What I mean is that the energy of each world is limited. Unless your 60% is more than the combined 20% of all the systems, you have no chance of surpassing me."
I looked at my own size and then at the person opposite me. The meaning was clear; the facts were laid bare: "Weren't you going to die?"
The boss was furious. "Who said I was going to die?"
"But you just started flashing."
"That's just ridiculous! And who told you that the system's abilities are based on body size?"
I exclaimed in horror, "What's happening to me...?"
"Fat." My boss's words were firm and resolute, while I slowly cracked open in the void.
I clung to a sliver of hope: "I know you must be wary of my abilities. One day you'll be unable to withstand my dazzling brilliance and leave me, just like my three former bosses who were worn down, right?"
"They were right after all."
My boss looked very serious, while I looked on expectantly.
"Spending too much time with idiots will definitely damage your brain."
I:"……"
