Chapter 10 - Ch. 10: Guidebook

[Hello, Host Xu Qinran! This is the main system guidebook. All of the systems and hosts, regardless of their missions, must follow the follow guidelines stated in the main system guidebook.] A robotic voice echoed and floating system interface appeared in front of Xu Qinran.

Xu Qinran looked at it for a bit and scanned her surroundings. She is a white kind of space.

Like literally. Everything's so white. The walls, ceilings, and floors are all white.

There are also no furniture or anything extra in sight. Just her and the system interface floating in front of her out of nowhere.

[There are things Host Xu Qinran must take note of before starting her mission. Systems are composed of newbies, they are still under training and so they are prone to making mistakes. Host Xu Qinran was recommended to take the blended beta testing, wherein regardless of the system level, Host Xu Qinran is recommended to take them.] It paused as if asking for Xu Qinran's confirmation.

"Yes, I know about that." It was stated in the contract she signed.

[Host must remember that although it will not actually kill them when they died in the mission world, they might die due to the soul damage they got.]

[The host must remember that systems are important as they can further give help to the development of healing broken or incomplete souls, so you must take note of their limited abilities that still needs improvement and not rain them curses or be angry at them all the time. Host Xu Qinran must remember that you are business partners, some basic respect is just basic etiquette.]

Xu Qinran: Someone most probably cursed at some poor system for them to include this.

The robotic voice continued, [Host Xu Qinran must also take note that taking away the world's target limelight is a must not, this is to prevent for the world's consciousness to kick you out while doing your mission.]

Xu Qinran froze a bit and asked, "What if there's no choice but to steal it?"

[Then do your best to think of a way to not to.]

"But what 'if'?"

[Impossible, limelight refers to the good luck the target gets, which means, no matter how bad the situation can be, whether he or she encountered a plane crash or a BOSS level monster, they will remain alive. So, stealing it, attention, luck, or golden finger, is a must not. Otherwise, not only would the mission fail, but the world would also collapse. This is because the target is not the target anymore, but an outsider or Host Xu Qinran with an incomplete soul.]

Knowing how serious it is, Xu Qinran can just sigh and wish for the best situation and not have situation happen ever to her.

'I can do this! What worse can happen is death anyway.'

[In every system, there's something we call Soul Energy, Soul Inventory, Life Bar, Soul Popularity, and Karma.] the robotic voice continued.

[The Soul Energy is already self explanatory. Soul Inventory is where you can place items from one world in it and bring it to an another world to use it. Do be reminded that if you put one item to, for example, a Reaper System, you can only use that one item again in an another world mission if you are lucky enough to get the same type of system. Others, for example Miracle Doctor System, would not have your item that you kept in that Reaper System, and thus would not be able to use it.

Life Bar is literally your life, if you're dying or not. Soul Popularity is your reputation to certain types of systems, this can give you benefits which are receiving bonuses, higher salary, and recommendation to many other systems. The salaries and bonuses are in a form of soul energies that can heal your soul and make it even stronger. Karma is divided into two. It is like luck that can help you survive longer in that world. Doing something good will give you good karma and thus making you have better luck, while doing something bad will give you bad karma and thus giving you bad karma.]

[Does Host Xu Qinran still have any questions?]

Xu Qinran asked, "Are there any other use for Soul Energy?"

[... Replying to Host Xu Qinran, yes. It can make your soul stronger, thus giving you an oppurtunity to have more works in this dimension, and not have dizzy spells during portal jumps.]

[Is that all, Host Xu Qinran?]

Xu Qinrann nodded earnestly.

[Then, safe travels. Come back successful, Beta tester Host Xu Qinran.] 

The voice echoed in Xu Qinran's mind as she suddenly felt heavy and a force brought her to somewhere.

[Hello, Host Xu Qinran!! I am a Matchmaking System, Rinrin!!] then a bunch of hearts, flowers and sparkles popped out of the screen.

Xu Qinran who's covered in sparkles, flowers and hearts and is still dizzy from earlier: ...
