"Just like that?" Xia Yue asked after reading it.
[The host has not fully drawn a profession yet, not much is displayed on the page, please draw a profession as soon as possible to start the task.]
"How do I draw? Randomly? What if I get something I don't like?" Xia Yue asked.
[Randomly draw a profession, if you don't like it you can abandon it within ten seconds. Does the host confirm to draw a profession?]
"Draw it." Xia Yue nodded curiously.
[Drawing profession...]
The next second, Xia Yue saw a sphere appearing on the virtual screen in front of her, swaying back and forth until it emitted a bright light. Startled, she instinctively closed her eyes.
[Congratulations to the host for drawing an Architect, your task is to become the most famous Architect on Blue Star.]
When Xia Yue felt the light had gone, she opened her eyes. On the screen, she saw the word "Architect" in big letters, along with a small timer ticking down below it.
"I reject, I can't even draw." Xia Yue hurriedly refused.
[Okay, then the system will draw again]
[Drawing profession...]
Xia Yue watched the screen again as the new sphere quickly appeared, began swaying, much like the one before.
[Congratulations to the host for drawing an actor, please become a globally renowned superstar loved by all.]
"Reject, can't act."
Then, the sphere started swaying again.
[Congratulations to the host for drawing a biology expert, please become the greatest biology expert.]
"Reject, can't research biology."
…
[Congratulations to the host for drawing holiday resort management, please make the resort the most well-known.]
After the fifty-first time, Xia Yue heard this and couldn't help but refused again without thinking.
[Unfortunately, as the host has rejected too many times, the mandatory mechanism is activated.]
[Congratulations to the host for becoming the owner of the holiday resort.]
[The host's profession is set, the task is activated.]
[Task 1: Please own a mountainous plot of land no less than fifty acres that connects to the sea and a marine area of no less than ten thousand square meters as soon as possible. Full ownership is required, leasing is not valid.]
"Are you insane? You actually forced me to choose this."
"Check the land properties of the country I'm in right now for me. I can't be bothered with you, you're wasting my time."
"Turn off the screen."
After saying this, the virtual screen in front of her disappeared and she continued to play games on her phone.
The system did not make a sound.
Almost 10 minutes later
[Host, I have checked it. The land and sea area in your country are not privately owned, but it's possible to purchase them abroad to complete the task.]
"I have no money." Xia Yue faltered before replying.
Are properties free? She had been saving up for several years to buy a villa. Even if she stopped eating and drinking for ten years, she might not be able to afford to buy land and sea area. Furthermore, she's not the young Miss of the Xia family anymore. Her savings are dwindling.
The most important point is, she didn't want to go abroad.
After that, the system kept urging her to do tasks in her ear, but she ignored it like background music.
Until, when she was sleeping, the system was still buzzing in her ear.
"Are you done? I need to sleep." Xia Yue said angrily.
[You promised me you would do the task.] The system said.
"I have no money, will you give me money?" Xia Yue asked.
[I don't care, promise me you'll do the task, and I'll leave you alone.] It's tough for the system as well. If she doesn't do the tasks, it won't get any energy. Without energy, it can't function.
"If you want me to sleep, I woke up too early today, I am dead tired now, can I sleep and think about it tomorrow?" Xia Yue had no choice, only to say with a pitiful tone.
[Okay] The system also felt that it shouldn't push too hard, or she might rebel, which would be troublesome.
Finally, Xia Yue survived her first day after moving out from the Xia family and fell into a deep sleep in Dreamland.
