NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9 - Jun Jiuxiao's PUA System 2233
Jun Jiuxiao settled a grudge and felt better.
He pondered how he might get some benefits from 2233. Although what he obtained might not be of much use to him, he always felt he was at a loss if he didn’t take advantage.
2233 was happy that Jun Jiuxiao completed his first mission, feeling one step closer to a promotion and a pay raise, heading towards the pinnacle of its career.
At that moment, 2233 felt a sudden chill and shivered, causing its code to freeze.
Jun Jiuxiao thought of an idea that he needed to test. He immediately called out to 2233, “System, are you there?”
2233 responded promptly with a mechanical tone, 【Host, I’m here at any time.】
“Do you have any missions to deliver resources and techniques to the female lead? Show me.”
2233 didn’t understand what Jun Jiuxiao intended, but since the host was eager to complete missions, it naturally wanted to accommodate him.
【Host, I have compiled all the missions related to delivering resources and techniques to the female lead. You can view them now.】
Jun Jiuxiao carefully examined the missions and found two that could be utilized.
【Mission: Deliver an elixir to enhance the female lead’s aptitude, 10,000 points.】
【Mission: Deliver an Immortal King-level technique to the female lead, 100,000 points.】
He immediately asked 2233, “I’ll take these two missions. Let’s do them now.”
Jun Jiuxiao had an Immortal King-level technique suitable for the female lead, “Nine Heavens Burning Art,” which would work wonders with her Red Lotus Karma Fire.
As for the elixir to enhance her aptitude, given her poor constitution, any random pill would improve her significantly.
Seeing the high points for the missions, they were likely meant for later stages, requiring rare elixirs. Although he had many elixirs, he was unwilling to give them away for free.
【Host, these are later-stage missions. It’s not possible to do them now, is it?】 2233 replied uncertainly.
“Why not? A mission is a mission, whether done early or late,” Jun Jiuxiao began to manipulate 2233.
【But it’s never been done this way before…】 2233 weakly retorted.
Jun Jiuxiao continued his reasoning, “Is there a rule against completing later-stage missions early?”
2233 replied honestly, 【It seems…there isn’t.】
Jun Jiuxiao pressed on, “If there’s no rule against it, then it’s allowed.”
2233 hesitated, unsure of how to respond.
Seeing 2233 wavering, Jun Jiuxiao pushed harder, “If others don’t do it this way and you do, won’t you complete more missions faster? That means you can get promoted and get a raise sooner. And what about your Xiao Cui? If you keep doing tasks the old way, Xiao Cui might have three kids with someone else by the time you return.”
This last statement struck a nerve with 2233. Moreover, Jun Jiuxiao’s argument seemed logical: doing missions early wasn’t explicitly forbidden.
2233 immediately issued the missions.
Jun Jiuxiao felt a little embarrassed when he saw that 2233 was so easy to deceive. It seemed he’d have to keep tricking it in the future until he didn’t feel embarrassed anymore.
After issuing the missions, 2233 began to dream of promotions, raises, and marrying Xiao Cui.
Meanwhile, Jun Jiuxiao pondered what elixir to give Ji Lanqing. Something too powerful might be too much for her, while something too weak was not in his possession—truly a dilemma.
Suddenly, he remembered the Earth Spirit Essence he used during his Organ Refining days. He had a few drops left, just right for Ji Lanqing.
The Earth Spirit Essence, a condensation of heaven and earth’s spiritual energy, was used by others for breakthroughs, but for Ji Lanqing, it would help heal her hidden injuries.
On the surface, Ji Lanqing’s foundation seemed destroyed, but her true foundation, the Red Lotus Karma Fire, was unharmed, only lacking nourishment from the heaven and earth’s spiritual energy, causing it to lie dormant.
Once the Red Lotus Karma Fire absorbed the Earth Spirit Essence, it would slowly awaken, gradually restoring the female lead’s foundation.
To ensure this would complete the mission, Jun Jiuxiao carefully asked 2233.
2233 confirmed it would, so Jun Jiuxiao retrieved the Earth Spirit Essence from his storage ring.
The storage ring was filled with resources that Jun Jiuxiao didn’t need. It was a waste to use the Emperor’s domain to store these useless things.
Having chosen the elixir, Jun Jiuxiao prepared to deliver it to Ji Lanqing.
