Chereads / Law of Tragedy / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

Sun Ming went to the car dealership with his new clothes so he didn't face the problem of discrimination this time and bought any random car that caught his eyes and another one for his sister.

"What's the catch" Sung Ha said squinting at him as she examined the keys.

"Kids are allowed to play around too" he said winking at her.

"We don't even have a house yet" she said

"I admit I was a bit too excited to follow the normal process but I'm someone whose been living in shabby motels for a while so it skipped my mind" Sung Min said slapping his forehead. There really should be a manual on what newly rich people should do first in a step by step order.

They drove all the way to the real estate agency and got a huge villa then went for lunch in the restaurant before settling in to the new villa.

Zhi Hua had tried again to interfere in the decision he made when choosing cars but it didn't work. I have a theory forming that the only 'decision' that can be influenced involves a major plot point or has a big consequence to it.

The part about plot point gave him an idea to test. Since he's a character that he created then maybe he would be able to see how his life would play out.

Zhi Hua tried to acquire the summary of his life by imagining it at first but it didn't work, then he tried deeply wanting it but it failed again so he tried speaking but still nothing. He decided to think for himself about how he would guess it would go, since the mist was very unresponsive.

Zhi Hua stared at the screen with the guy feeling that something is missing. The trajectory of his life is too.... simple or common and it doesn't fit the style that he likes. After this, he'll obviously get revenge on his foster family, on the bullies from school while face slapping all the rich people in between but then what.....the end.

If I wanted to watch a movie then I might just leave, not that I can even go out on my own.

This is the reason why the concept of systems are so popular because ordinary people are just too generic. Wait... system.

Zhi Hua began to speculate on the idea of adding a system. There are books about systems that make you rich but the story never ends without the element of fantasy, there as their always seems to be aliens or cosmic beings coming after them but in my case it would just be a normal system that makes the host get rich and become the most perfect version of themselves.

At least villian wouldn't have to worry about supernatural factors after him. The downside is that those stories are almost always harem, honestly with his serious attitude it's practically a given that he would attract random beautiful people.

If Feng wasn't my sister then she would have definitely been the female lead and top contender in the harem plot. Zhi Hua began to realize he was going out of point and being delusional, the genre is a thriller so maybe a corporation that would be after him instead of it would actually be according to novels.

Zhi Hua thought about it and decided to talk with Feng tomorrow before doing it. I mean going from the way he could easily add someone to his life then that could mean that he can induce it so that he woke up suddenly one morning to discover he had a system but that isn't in line with the setting of the world.

They agreed to let Zhi Hua out every evening just in case so that he would be able to communicate with his sister. After all, Sung Min was just someone he made so staying all day with a stranger in your brother's body all day is too much.

Zhi Hua also has an anxiety issue about being stuck there, waking up one day just to be greeted with the screen displaying someone with a face the same as yours going through life while you go are stuck watching him live through it. So he planned to come out at least once for a day for a long period of time to stretch out his consciousness.

Zhi Hua ate his dinner at home thinking about his problem. He couldn't create the system but he could say it's advanced technology that he happened to stumble upon but the link feels off, if I were to describe it then I would say character development is too far gone to suddenly add something like that. He's already on his path to revenge and there's really nothing else that can help him that he's not ruthless enough to get himself.

Zhi Hua turned to Feng who was eating happily thinking that's really easy to live with no worries

"You're series is talent right, why don't you create a 'system' if you're such a genius" Zhi Hua said mocking her.

"I will then. Let's bet" she said holding out her hand.

"I'm talking about a real system and not just artificial intelligence" Zhi Hua said raising his eyebrow at her

"Why didn't I think of that" she said sarcastically

"How are you even going to do it" Zhi Hua was genuinely curious whether she could accomplish it or not. I mean this little girl isn't ordinary and he's always known that but living in the slums that point in their life made him forget that fact along with the mysterious 'Wei Ming' she knows.

"My series had two aspects which are create and copy. While you were playing whatever you're doing now, I managed to complete the aspect of Copy by researching on my own....."

"Researching what exactly" Zhi Hua asked sounding baffled at what could a person research to create a high level of technology that can be comparable to a 'system'.

"Everything I could find and you 'couldn't' " she said smug.

"So how does copy have to do with create" Zhi Hua said taunting back

"Well I have been looking for a project to do for the aspect of 'invent'. I think the system would be perfect for it" she said smiling.

"How long till you can do it" Zhi Hua asked after thinking awhile

"A month probably" she said casually

"Once you do, alert me immediately" Zhi Hua said. If I can't add it to my character then I might as well have external help, besides this greatly contributes to my aspect of ability.

Zhi Hua looked at Feng feeling a little jealous that she was able to complete one of her aspects in a week plus while he has to go through all this trouble.

"We didn't talk about the reward for the bet" Feng said squinting at him.

"I think you should refer to my assistant, Sung Min" Zhi Hua said winking at her.

Sung Min was puzzled at his little sister who was staring daggers at him for no reason. She snorted then stomped upstairs while he was left to clean up the dishes.
