Rong Qingqing returned to her room, immediately turned on her newly purchased computer, and quickly installed some essential software. She then spent nearly an hour setting up various protections for her new computer.
After that, she took out a USB drive to continue working on the unfinished tasks from her apartment earlier today.
Time was tight, so Rong Qingqing planned to pull an all-nighter to finish this task and relieve Jixing’s urgent crisis.
At this moment, the System suddenly spoke up.
"Host, you have a new task: get Shen Jue to spend five yuan on you within one hour. Reward: extend life by 10 hours."
She glanced at the time in the corner of the computer screen and nearly lost her mind.
"It’s almost eleven o’clock already. Do you think if I go knock on Shen Jue’s door, he’ll kick me out of Shen Manor again?" Rong Qingqing practically gritted her teeth.
The System’s laughter almost deafened Rong Qingqing.
"Hahaha, Host, it’s fine. You have a car now; you don’t have to wait for a ride this time. Anyway, you have experience with these things."
God knows how much she wanted to smash the annoying System right now.
"The host can abandon the task, but if it’s not completed, the System will not issue new tasks."
Rong Qingqing slammed her hand down on the table with a bang.
"I’ll just come back tomorrow and sweet-talk him again!"
Rong Qingqing stood up and clicked her tongue.
It’s just that Shen Jue is so hard to sweet-talk. This time, she had no idea what else she could buy to appease him.
Coming back to reality, Rong Qingqing shook her numb hand and then opened the door and left the room.
In just a few steps, Rong Qingqing found herself at Shen Jue’s room door. She raised her hand but pulled it back.
The problem is, five yuan? How to spend it?
Rong Qingqing frustratedly scratched her head and asked the System, "What time is it now? It’s eleven o’clock, how do I spend five yuan? I can’t just drive Shen Jue to the city to buy a five-yuan bottle of drink, can I?"
That would definitely escalate to a criminal offense.
If it’s not kidnapping, it can’t be accomplished.
The more Rong Qingqing thought about it, the more agitated she became, "Can you extend the time to tomorrow? Half an hour is too short, it’s not enough."
"No," the System coldly denied Rong Qingqing’s request.
Rong Qingqing gritted her teeth and took out her phone to search online.
How to quickly spend five yuan.
The result was, how to spend three days with five yuan.
Rong Qingqing closed her eyes; this was a ridiculous idea of spending three days with five yuan.
Just as Rong Qingqing was about to explode in her mind, Shen Jue’s room door suddenly opened.
The two of them, separated by a door panel, one inside the room, one outside, unexpectedly met each other’s gaze.
"What are you doing sneaking around my door?" Shen Jue took the initiative.
"I have something to talk to you about," Rong Qingqing scratched her head.
Her already messy hair now looked even more uniquely styled than the fake wig she wore on hobo day.
Shen Jue stepped out of the room, glanced at Rong Qingqing’s head, and casually uttered, "Speak."
Rong Qingqing blinked.
"I haven’t thought of..." The words "what to say" nearly escaped her lips, but she quickly changed it to, "I haven’t thought of how to say it yet."
Since Shen Jue came out of the room himself, it saved her the trouble of being thrown out of Shen Manor.
Rong Qingqing followed Shen Jue and curiously asked him, "Are you going downstairs? What for?"
