Chapter 236
Chapter 236
The Game was defeated by Yun Youyou’s shamelessness.
[Employee 003, you are truly beautiful.]
Yun Youyou lowered her head bashfully. “What part of me is beautiful?”
[Your wishful thinking.]
Pretending not to understand, Yun Youyou said, “Not only are my thoughts beautiful, but I look beautiful, eat beautifully, and have a beautiful soul.”
The Game: […]
How shameless!
From now on, it would have to measure every applicant’s skin thickness before hiring. It could never recruit another Employee 003.
The Game fell silent, then refused mercilessly.
[No. Choose another wish.]
Yun Youyou did not want to push the Game too far.
She shook her head helplessly. “Girl, I really spoil you too much.”
[…]
The Game nearly vomited blood from rage.
Yun Youyou readily changed her wish.
“Then I wish for world peace.”
[No.]
“Then I want to race Ultraman through the Amazon rainforest on Planet M78.”
[No!!]
“Then I’ll compete with the famously delicate Lin Daiyu at uprooting a willow tree, and challenge the mighty brawler Wu Song to a makeup contest.”
[No!!!]
The Game practically ground its teeth with every answer.
Yun Youyou sighed, pressed a hand to her forehead, and said mournfully, “Not this, not that. Honestly, this is all my fault for spoiling you.”
[Pfft!]
That was the sound of the Game vomiting blood from rage.
Employee 003 did not merely love causing trouble.
Whenever she opened her mouth, she could infuriate humans and ghosts half to death.
Her work skills were terrible, but her ability to anger others was extraordinary.
The Game regretted hiring her.
If Yun Youyou knew what it was thinking, she would probably say, “You get what you pay for.”
It refused to pay its employees, yet dreamed of them working hard.
It was more naive than Lazy Goat.
Seeing the Game nearly dissolve into garbled code, Yun Youyou finally offered a slightly more reasonable idea.
“I knew your abilities were limited, but I didn’t realize they were this limited. Forget it. I won’t make things hard for you.”
The innocent Game had said nothing, yet she stabbed it several more times.
Limited abilities?
Impossible!
The Game wanted to demonstrate its limitless power on the spot.
Unfortunately, Yun Youyou gave it no chance.
“I want to trade places with you.”
[What do you mean?]
The Game sensed danger in this wish.
Yun Youyou thoughtfully explained, smiling like a fox that had stolen a chicken.
“I mean we switch identities. You become a ghost, and I become the Game.”
[No.]
The Game refused without thinking.
If it agreed, Yun Youyou would turn the entire Game upside down.
No. Absolutely not!
When it refused, Yun Youyou started acting shamelessly.
“I don’t care. Either arrange a blind date between me and Ultraman, or bring Lin Daiyu here. Otherwise, I’ll tell every ghost in the Game that you break your promises.”
The Game’s head hurt.
Yun Youyou felt no guilt whatsoever about being unreasonable.
What was dignity?
Dignity was something you threw away whenever necessary.
“Besides, I never said we wouldn’t switch back. We can trade back after a few days.”
Yun Youyou continued brainwashing the Game.
“You can supervise me from the side, and I’m so obedient. Don’t you have even that much confidence?”
Provoked by Yun Youyou, the Game finally relented.
[Of course I am capable of that.]
[I can agree. However, I will give you only one day.]
Yun Youyou shook her head.
“No. One month.”
[Three days at most.]
Yun Youyou said, “Seven days, no less. Any less and I might as well go plant trees with Lin Daiyu.”
[Fine.]
The Game sounded reluctant but agreed.
[If I discover you doing anything you should not, I will end the exchange immediately.]
“No problem!”
Yun Youyou agreed readily.
This had been her plan from the beginning.
If she asked directly, the Game would never agree.
That was when a little strategy became necessary.
She had not expected it to work.
Yun Youyou snickered inwardly.
And so her first-place reward was settled.
When the Game announced it, countless Players clutched their hearts in pain.
It was all their useless legs’ fault for missing such a wonderful opportunity.
Even Wang Yuanyou was unbearably envious.
He nudged Ji Lin with his elbow.
“You really aren’t tempted?”
Ji Lin glanced at him calmly.
“What isn’t yours cannot be forced.”
Wang Yuanyou: …
He curled his lip.
With Ji Lin’s indifference to gain or loss, he might as well become a monk.
Ordinary mortals like them were better off not talking to him.
The First Marathon came to an end.
Never in its wildest dreams had the Game expected Yun Youyou to become champion.
Yun Youyou barely had time to wave at Ji Lin and Wang Yuanyou before the Game sent her back to the Lounge.
[Since I agreed, I will not break my word.]
The Game’s cold electronic voice echoed through the tiny Lounge.
Yun Youyou pressed her hands to her cheeks like an adoring fan.
“I just love how cool you are when you keep your word. Game, you’re enough to charm a ghost to death!”
[…]
The Game nearly lost its composure.
[First, I cannot turn you completely into me, nor can I become a ghost. I can only temporarily transfer my authority to you.]
Yun Youyou had expected that.
She did not want to become a string of cold data either.
“None of that is a problem.”
[Since you agree, the exchange officially begins now.]
After the Game spoke, the Lounge fell silent.
Two minutes passed.
Yun Youyou felt no change whatsoever.
[Open your light screen.]
Yun Youyou tapped the Light Brain on her wrist.
A transparent screen appeared in the air.
Its interface looked completely different.
Complex information flooded Yun Youyou’s mind all at once.
The screen was filled with code.
It made Yun Youyou dizzy.
[Tell me what you need. I will perform the operation for you.]
The Game was unexpectedly considerate.
Those words saved Yun Youyou.
She genuinely could not understand the screenful of code.
Apparently, the Game’s job had a rather high barrier to entry.
“Can you add a title above my forehead?”
Yun Youyou pointed a few inches above her head.
A title?
[Sorry. I do not understand.]
“Like expert Players in online games. They usually have a title over their heads, such as Number One Expert on the Server.”
After hearing her explanation, the Game roughly understood.
It was not difficult.
The Game agreed without hesitation.
[Certainly. What title do you want?]
It had to be the flashiest title possible.
Yun Youyou said, “AAA Fugitive Domineering CEO of the Underworld.”
The Game: ?
