Despite facing the Killing Angel, whose social skills are practically nonexistent, and her occasional verbal jabs, Yu Ling remains unperturbed.
Anyway, when the two sides start fighting, Yu Ling will show him through her actions how important it is for a boss to win over the hearts of the angels around him.
The angels' lives weren't so bad, but for Yu Ling, who had many hobbies, it was just a way to clear her mind. The only fun she had was Bradley's daily verbal 'fights' with the other angels. So, Yu Ling quickly turned her attention back to the human world.
From Charlie's perspective, it's as if the devil, who had been 'sleeping' inside his body, has awakened again.
As soon as Yu Ling focused her attention on her main body, she discovered that the unfortunate child she was bound to was still in class. The lecturer with a big beard was writing furiously with chalk on the podium. Charlie no longer had any worries about his family, but he had obviously fallen behind in his studies and looked quite miserable in class.
"Mr. Devil, you're awake? Sigh, why don't you just blow up the school? I can't concentrate on this lesson at all..."
Charlie was also diligently scribbling notes, but his empty eyes and expression as if he were reading gibberish betrayed the fact that he hadn't actually memorized a single word.
Yu Ling said jokingly, "Hey, humans! Forget Versailles, read your books. It's better than war. Daily life in hell is worse."
Actually, I didn't feel particularly comfortable at first, but when I compared Charlie, who still had to study, and Bradley, who was in heaven taking care of all the hands-on tasks, both of them seemed very busy every day, I suddenly realized how relaxed I was!
Charlie was just making casual remarks, and then he went back to his studies without continuing the topic.
However, the system also shares the same feeling of happiness as Yu Ling.
The system body sold by the main god is for the exclusive use of the system. The host cannot sign a contract. Currently, the system does not need to use the body, so it shares a perspective with Yu Ling in the system space.
It also attended half a day of classes, but only for taking notes and looking up information to pass the time. At most, it could be used as an open-book exam subject for reference at any time. If you really asked it to use its brain to solve problems, it was a complete novice.
While observing the drama unfold, Yu Ling was also looking for someone she could fool in class to boost her side quest performance. She also happened to remember the system, even though there wasn't much for it to do right now...
"System, get ready and cherish this hard-won peaceful life. I have prepared a very difficult task for you."
The system for slacking off during class: [Huh? Me?]
Yu Ling is spreading alarmist rumors: "It has to be you!"
He embellished the rumors he had gleaned from Heaven and relayed them to the system, leaving the system completely bewildered.
"I'm with Bradley now, so I'll definitely be involved in the battle when it starts. The arduous task of protecting the main body will be entrusted to you!"
"Should I... hand it over?"
Before the system could finish speaking, Yu Ling added, "We're good partners who fight side by side. When has a mission ever been without your help?"
So you need to start being more aware of the danger now. In your spare time, look for people who can act as side characters, spreading the demon's followers far and wide to increase your chances of survival!
The system thought about it and realized that it made sense; surely the host couldn't be the only one putting in the effort?
[No problem, host, I'll take care of the side quests!]
Yu Ling agreed with the system a few times with great satisfaction.
Very well, now the only one who feels happy is him, the demon.
Everyone should go to work, go to school, or do quests! He's already reached Ace Survivor rank, it's time for him to slack off and collect his retirement pension.
Of course, Yu Ling only wanted to provoke the system, not wanting it to be idle with her, and she didn't really intend for this trash system to suddenly become powerful, like some protagonists' cheat codes that take their host to new heights.
However, he underestimated the sudden sense of responsibility and the intensity of the internal struggle that the system, this little rascal, felt after being 'entrusted with an important task'.
After a simple screening of the people around Charlie, and considering that Yu Ling looked down on humans who were close to demons but had bad character and were utterly wicked, the system considerately narrowed down the shortlisted candidates to 'good people' who at least appeared to be upright gentlemen.
As for how good this person is, and whether they are good to everyone, we don't need to be so strict. Not just anyone deserves to be good to others, right? Respect everyone's fate, starting with the system.
In short, while Yu Ling was watching the drama unfold without much hope, the system was working hard silently, even more so than the most competitive individuals, as if it were competing with an unknown entity for the world.
In just one week, it handed over the carefully selected list of fifteen people to Yu Ling.
When Yu Ling received the "homework" submitted by the system, she was still confused, having just returned from Bradley's side.
The system has finally made something of itself?
However, this guy finally used his brain and didn't just do a perfunctory job. He actually used big data to screen out the fifteen people who were most suitable for Yu Ling to sign a contract with and had the highest success rate. Five of them overlapped with the ones Yu Ling had chosen herself.
As for why only five overlap...
Because Yu Ling only chose five.
Anyway, there are only ten spots available for the side quests. Losing one would be a waste, and adding one would be a waste. There's plenty of time, so there's no need to rush.
Since the system is working so hard, even putting in extra hours to deliver the list to me, I might as well finish it as soon as possible.
"Well done! It seems my system is the most diligent in the Main God Space. Keep up the good work!"
Yu Ling simply praised the system and received a pink-skinned orb of light in return.
【No way~ Hahaha, as long as it helps the host o(*////▽////*)q】
The system shyly retreated and continued to help the host find more names to add to the list. Yu Ling, holding her newly completed workbook, began to dawdle and prepare to do the task.
Of course, in an era where most people hope to go to heaven after death, believing in demons and making deals with demons is undoubtedly a terrible thing, and it cannot be done overnight. Yu Ling still has to proceed step by step and wait for the right opportunity.
Charlie was the perfect stepping stone. What could be more convincing than a human who had personally made a pact with the devil?
The problem is that Charlie might not be too willing to serve as this 'example'. After all, who would want to spread the word about making a deal with the devil? That would just be asking to be arrested and put on trial!
Yu Ling glanced at the list again and picked out the guy who was closest to Charlie, who was a graduate two years ahead of Charlie and Charlie's former senior—Abram.
