This revelation…. was both cool and creepy. Yeah, tends to be creepy rather than cool.
'Is this AI really my partner, not a spy to monitor me??'
The AI knew what Lai Jiayi was thinking about, but he didn't make any comment at all.
'This girl is quite sharp to actually guess the real purpose every player gets an AI each.'
Yep, they're here not only to act as a partner but also to act as a monitor.
Through them, the higher-ups in the game company would be able to monitor the players for their own purpose.
Lai Jiayi put aside this thought for now, and at this moment, her focus really was on the job list.
She scanned the first job to the latest and realized that there were ten jobs in total, arranged from best to worst.
Each job had a level of rarity. For example, being the target's secretary, this job was a level SSS job. It's the best job to assist the player in their game!
'Let's see...aside from the secretary...there is a part-time housemaid, Zhao company's head department...Zhao Yang's neighbor? Uh...what a good 'job' provided. What else is provided here...oh!'
We got a personal bodyguard, a driver, a waitress in the target's favorite restaurant...a singer in the very same restaurant...a barmaid, and a cleaning service.
"...what? Why would he need a driver when the car nowadays used the system?" Lai Jiayi muttered.
"Dunno, quack? He also still uses a secretary despite having a personal AI, quack." The duck shrugged.
"But Zhao Yang had been famous for appreciating human resources, right, quack? So this is nothing new, quack," he added.
"Wait, wait, this one...cleaning service?? Such a useless job is also included??" Lai Jiayi clicked her tongue.
"These jobs are weird. What if I can't do the job well? I won't possibly be able to become a singer in a high-class restaurant. Impossible!" She reluctantly shook her head.
'I can't sing!'
"Since the job is given based on pure luck…there's a possibility that I will get a job that I can't do, right??"
The AI coughed twice awkwardly. "That's why you have to do the job well, quack! If you're fired from the job, you will be eliminated as well. Game over, quack!"
Hearing this piece of information, Lai Jiayi tightened her grip to the bedsheet.
'Not doing the job well will make me eliminated? There are so many factors leading to an instant game over!' the girl cursed in her heart.
Still, knowing that she couldn't do anything, the girl decided to follow the game's rule.
"Alright, I understand the game rule, but before I choose the job, is there any other factor leading to instant examination?" Lai Jiayi decided to ask.
"Tell me so I can be at ease."
She didn't want to accidentally break the rules leading to a game over.
"Oh, there is quack! NO ONE other than players can know this game's existence, else...I can't guarantee even your safety, quack...be careful, quack!"
The AI seriously and earnestly warned Lai Jiayi.
'This is the most important rule that one had to abide. Don't let anyone other than players know about this game!'
Lai Jiayi suddenly got goosebumps. She could only nod. "A-ah, okay."
'Oh God, I might even lose my life if someone knew about this game? F*ck what a shady game! I really shouldn't play it in the first place…'
Realizing her situation, Lai Jiayi had the urge to cry, but it would be useless.
It's too late. She's in this situation already.
'I'll just need to be extra careful.'
"That's it?" Lai Jiayi asked again, thinking that the AI still had something to say, but when she saw he shook his head, the girl stopped asking.
'So that's it, no more factors leading to an instant game over? Thank God!'
The girl cheerfully looked at her phone again, not knowing that the AI still kept one thing he didn't say yet.
'Let's just tell her while she plays the game.' The AI decided.
Lai Jiayi had just about to click on the spin button when she noticed something.
She quickly asked, "...eh, I just realize... there are ten jobs, so aside from me...there are nine other players?"
The AI instantly nodded. "There are in total, 50 players in one round of the game– quack." He didn't stop at that. "One target will have ten players chasing after him, at the same time, quack!"
'...hm? Ten players? So I have nine rivals!'
Lai Jiayi stared at her phone in a daze. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She met another trouble, ah!
"Their target is the same as mine, so I have to compete with them too?" Lai Jiayi dryly laughed.
"Yep, quack!"
Lai Jiayi had the urge to faint. She cursed again, wanting to buy a voodoo doll.
'This game company really liked drama, huh?? They assign ten players for just one target!! Are they that bored?!'
"Hey, hurry, do the spin, quack!" Ignoring Lai Jiayi's anger, the AI pretended not to know anything and urged the girl to hurry to get the job.
'So what if nine other girls are eyeing the same guy? Isn't it more interesting that way?'
"Uh...okay…" Lai Jiayi bit her lips with teary eyes.
'This real-life dating sim game will turn to a bloody battle, for sure. What to do?? So many rivals! Can I beat them all and become the winner?'
