Chapter 160 Creating Opportunities
Zhong Wan only noticed his actions the next day, and without hesitation told him to go about his own business.
However, Lin Yan'an's attitude was resolute.
Zhong Wan said helplessly, "Then you can write it inside."
"The sound of typing is a bit loud, I'm afraid it will disturb you."
Lin Yan'an was still somewhat worried.
Zhong Wan quickly shook her head: "Absolutely not, don't worry."
Her voice softened considerably, even carrying a hint of coquetry: "I'm a very heavy sleeper, you know that, so just focus on your work and pretend I'm not here."
Seeing her rare display of naivety, Lin Yan'an's heart melted instantly. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gave in and agreed.
The table was moved into the room, making the originally spacious room feel somewhat crowded.
But right now, no one cares about these things.
As time goes by,
Zhong Wan's body gradually recovered, and the time she spent sleeping decreased day by day. She returned to her normal routine, and it seemed that she was slowly regaining her strength. Even her voice became much stronger.
But at the same time, the cold countdown in my mind became more and more frequent.
She lay on the bed, bored, fiddling with the gift that Old Master Zhou had given her upon meeting him.
While counting the money, he rolled his eyes out of boredom.
I couldn't help but think to myself, "That's enough, sir."
"I haven't finished the task I'm currently working on, and I can't take on any new tasks. Where am I supposed to earn merit points?!"
[Warning: The debt repayment deadline is 2 days, 20 hours, and 56 minutes remaining. Please repay the debt as soon as possible.]
[Failure to pay by the due date will result in the mandatory collection of equivalent compensation (a random reduction in one of the following bodily sensory functions for seven days).]
Zhong Wan took a deep breath and shifted her position, looking slightly agitated.
My already resigned mind was made incredibly irritated by the cold, mechanical sound.
Doesn't she want to make money and gain merit?
Just thinking about the system's punishments made Zhong Wan feel both curious and a little helpless.
But she felt mostly powerless. She was curious, but she also wanted to save herself.
But what can she do now?
Zhong Wan took a deep breath, sprawled out on the bed, kicked her legs irritably, and pulled the blanket over herself.
"Wanwan?"
Hearing the noise, Lin Yan'an looked up in confusion: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
His voice was gentle and concerned.
Zhong Wan paused upon hearing this, only then realizing that he was still in the room.
She quickly recalled her actions and suddenly felt a sense of relief; thankfully, she hadn't screamed.
She can still retain some of her personal image.
Zhong Wan thought to herself, then helplessly threw off the covers and looked longingly at Lin Yan'an sitting behind the table, grumbling, "Lin Yan'an~ I'm so worried."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an adjusted his glasses, a slight smile playing on his lips, and looked at Zhong Wan'gan, asking with a smile, "What are you worried about?"
He knew perfectly well that it was most likely related to the merit points.
But worrying won't solve the immediate problems.
Zhong Wan immediately became interested, quickly got up, crawled to the foot of the bed, sat cross-legged, hugged a pillow, and stared at him: "What should I do? There are only a little over two days left, where am I supposed to get merit points?"
Seeing her anxious expression, as if she were clinging to him year after year, waiting for food, Lin Yan'an's smile deepened.
He stopped what he was doing and couldn't help but tease her, pretending to be deep in thought, "Well, time is indeed a bit tight, and Mr. Du's task is not yet completed..."
Zhong Wan nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Mmm-hmm-hmm."
Looking at her obedient appearance, Lin Yan'an teased, "Why don't we just accept reality?"
Zhong Wan didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"
"What I mean is, accept the punishment calmly. Anyway, I've gained experience taking care of you these past few days, so what's a few more days? How about it?"
Lin Yan'an spoke calmly, but Zhong Wan couldn't help but grit her teeth upon hearing this.
She gripped the edge of the pillow tightly, glaring at Lin Yan'an with furious eyes, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Fine, very well!"
"Good for you, my ass!"
The moment she finished speaking, she threw the pillow in her hand at me without any hesitation: "I've been lying here for the past few days and I'm so uncomfortable! You want me to lie here for another seven days?! Are you looking for a beating?!"
"Lin Yan'an, you're so annoying!"
"hehe."
Lin Yan'an reached out and caught the pillow that was thrown at him. Looking at Zhong Wan's puffed-up little face, he finally couldn't help but chuckle softly. His chest vibrated slightly, and the fatigue of the past few days dissipated a lot in this laughter.
"snort."
Zhong Wan crossed her arms and looked at Lin Yan'an, who was laughing happily, and snorted arrogantly, "You're going to die laughing."
"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."
Lin Yan'an hugged the pillow to his chest, got up and sat down next to her. He casually tossed the pillow aside, raised his hand to her shoulder, and looked at her profile with tender eyes: "Don't worry, we'll figure something out together."
"What method?"
Zhong Wan turned to look at him, puzzled, and asked, "You can't finish the task you have now, and you can't take on a new one."
"Um,"
Lin Yan'an nodded, his expression becoming much more serious: "Since the mission can't be refreshed, we can create opportunities."
"Creating opportunities?"
Zhong Wan looked at him, puzzled: "What other opportunities are there? How can we create them?"
Her mind raced: "Should I take my pen and notebook and wander around the cemetery? See if I can find any quests without a level requirement? I should be able to draw them, right? I just don't know if I'll get any merit rewards after I finish drawing them."
After saying that, he couldn't help but confirm in his mind, "System, is this okay?"
No, it's not recommended unless you want to sleep for a few more days.
Zhong Wan: "..."
It's just speechless.
"Can you please be quiet for a bit?! This countdown is so annoying!"
【Can't. 】
Paying back debts is a matter of course! The same applies to owing the system merits!
【warn……】
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan immediately wilted; she knew this too.
But right now, I haven't figured out a way to make money.
[Think for yourself!]
A voice devoid of emotion uttering cold words, truly...
"Even though you failed to draw a ghost, Wanwan, don't forget..."
Hearing Lin Yan'an's words, Zhong Wan immediately looked at him expectantly.
Under her slightly fiery gaze, Lin Yan'an paused, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. After a moment, he continued, "Don't forget there are still quite a few characters you've written in the shop."
"Even though it may not work, we should at least give it a try."
“Since Zhong Yang is currently free at the store, I’ve asked him to set up an online store to see if we can try selling the products through online channels.”
"While he has time, let's teach Ah Gui. Then, even if we're not in the shop, Wanwan won't have to worry about the things in the shop anymore."
