Chapter 348: Unusual order
[Host! Host! Wake up!]
“Eh? What the…” said a young girl with braided blonde hair, waking up and rubbing her eyes. She was sitting with her elbows on her desk, and she was woken up by loud words coming from her System.
There were huge circles under her blue eyes, indicating chronic sleep deprivation.
“No, let me sleep, System, just a little more, just a little more…” she complained, and her voice became quieter and quieter as she settled herself comfortably on the table and began to sink back into sleep.
[Host! A new order has been received!]
“What? Not again!” the girl exclaimed in despair. “I haven’t finished the previous orders that you’ve filled and promised yet. At this rate, I will die of exhaustion!”
[Host. You don’t have to worry about fulfilling these orders for a while. Complete this order, and you can go to rest.]
“Huh?” The girl who had just complained quickly sat up and stared in front of her in disbelief. “What… What did you say?”
[Host. You don’t have to worry about fulfilling these orders for a while.]
“No, no, what did you say next?”
[Complete this order, and you can go rest.]
“Yes, yes, that’s it, you’re not kidding, are you, System?” the girl asked hopefully.
[No, it’s not a joke. Complete the order, and you can go to rest.]
“Good,” the girl said happily, realizing that she still had a little more work to do before she could finally rest. She picked up her glasses from the table and, putting them on, turned to her System.
“What’s the order? Who is so important that you decided to postpone all other orders so that I could complete this one?” she asked.
Lately, her System had been receiving individual orders one after another and demanding that she complete them as quickly as possible, preventing her from getting a proper rest.
Every time she refused her System and wanted to rest, it threatened to leave her and find a more hardworking Host. At the same time, the System reminded her of her own promises that she had made to her loved ones.
She has repeatedly cursed the System for this and received the appropriate punishment.
[Host, this order is a little different from the ones you usually work on. This is not an individual order, but a public order.]
“Eh? Public?” the girl was surprised. She couldn’t remember her System ever paying attention to such orders.
[Yes, a public order that appeared quite recently. Not everyone immediately noticed the appearance of this order. I wouldn’t have noticed it either if it hadn’t caused a stir.]
“And what’s so special about this order?” — now the words of the System aroused the girl’s interest in this unusual order.
[It’s not about the order itself, it’s about who put it up.]
Hearing this, the girl was surprised, and then couldn’t help but ask, “Who is this?”
[The customer signed up as “Supreme Husband System”.]
«Supreme Husband System? I’ve never heard of such a System,” she said, trying to remember if she had ever encountered this System before.
[Host, of course you haven’t heard of this System. You’re too young for that.]
“Ah, that’s how it is,” the girl nodded, accepting the System’s explanation.
[When this order appeared, it attracted the attention of other Systems, and they started sharing their discoveries. Thanks to them, my attention was also attracted. After looking at the customer’s name and the contents of the order, I realized that you can handle this task. So before there were other Systems capable of fulfilling this order, I took it away!]
The girl was at a loss. Her usually strict and demanding System now spoke with such enthusiasm and joy, as if she had just won an incredible and rare victory.
[You should have seen how the other Systems reacted when they realized they had missed such a chance! They even started offering me all kinds of advantages in exchange for me giving them this order.]
“System…” the girl said, still not understanding exactly what had happened. She had never noticed such a passionate and enthusiastic side to her System before.
[Okay, for now, forget about what I told you and complete this order.]
The girl did not have time to ask a question, as the System interrupted her and demanded to fulfill the order. Although the System’s words aroused some curiosity in her, she quickly dismissed them, remembering that after completing this order, she would finally be able to rest.
“Okay, show me what the order is,” she said. And immediately after these words, the System displayed the order requirement in front of her.
“Hmm… Interesting,” the girl said. Then, after carefully reading the requirement again, she immediately got to work.
For her, this order turned out to be quite simple, and the production of the artifact took quite a bit of time.
“It’s done,” the girl said, holding in her hands the artifact she had just created. It turned out to be a little more than a book.
As the customer wished, she chose an inexpensive but durable material for her creation. The shape turned out to be rectangular, and she put into this artifact all the functions that the customer requested, even providing for the possibility of translation.
[Great!] — said her System, taking the artifact from the girl’s hands.
Immediately after that, she opened her status and, selecting the “System Network” function, began to search for something. But then she frowned and asked:
“System, didn’t you add the customer to your friends list?”
[Host. This System has discovered that the customer’s Hosts have not yet gained access to the “System Network”].
“Oh… that’s how it is,” the girl nodded, not even noticing the strangeness in her System’s words. She got up from her chair, stretched, and happily went to her bedroom to finally rest.
After tidying herself up, she put on a nightgown and, hugging a large stuffed animal that looked like a bizarre creature, finally lay down in her bed. At that moment, she mentally thanked the customer of this order for the opportunity to finally relax.
At the same time, in the incomplete world of Darkness and Light, Idan, sitting inside a cage underground of a Trading House, unexpectedly received a message from his System:
[Host. The order is completed.]
“Oh! Already?” — Idan was surprised, because just recently he asked the System to post an order.
[Yes. Your order has been completed by Supreme Craftsman System. The cost was 2000 System Points. Since this is your first order, a 50% discount has been applied. The total cost was 1,000 System Points].
“Well, that’s acceptable,” Idan said. “Pay and receive the order.”
The system debited 1,000 System Points, and after payment, the order was sent to the vault.
“Come on, let’s see what we got,” Idan said with some excitement, using his Soul Force to look inside the storage.
I would like to express my gratitude to those who give gifts, power stones and golden tickets. Your support allows me to stay motivated and continue working on the book.
