Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Finally!”

“My long-awaited break!”

“What should I play, Zelda, God of War, or Devil May Cry…”

Bruce was choosing a game at the moment.

For him, this was a long-awaited weekend because he had been working overtime during this period of time. Finally, it was time for a break. As a former otaku, he was very happy to be able to enjoy the otaku life in adulthood.

‘Games!’

‘2D wives!’

‘And most importantly, Coke and peanut butter!’

‘All of this is so…’

“Ding! Otaku system is activating… Please wait a moment…”

Bruce was stunned by this voice.

‘What is this?!’

As Bruce fell into deep thought, a bunch of images suddenly appeared in front of him. However, the images did not block his vision, it was as if they were in his mind.

Host: Bruce

Otaku level: 1 (0/500, growth rate: 1 minute)

Strength: 5 (normal value: 6, growth rate: 0.1/hour)

Agility: 5 (normal value: 6, growth rate: 0.1/hour)

Constitution: 5 (normal value: 6, growth rate: 0.1/hour).

Spirit: 5 (normal value: 6, growth rate: 0.1/hour)

Skills: None

Free Time: 1 hour

‘System!’

This was when Bruce suddenly regained his composure.

Bruce knew the system very well. As an otaku, he used to read a lot, so he often read about the system. He did not expect to get involved with the system today.

“System?”

Bruce tried to talk to the system in his mind. His tone was a little cautious. He was afraid that this was not real but a figment of his imagination.

“Otaku system, Interactive Voice Response has been activated. If you have any questions, please ask directly. If you have no questions, please continue to be an otaku!”

“HAHAHAHAHA!”

Bruce laughed loudly.

‘The system is real!’

But he still did not understand the system.

He was definitely going to continue the conversation.

Otherwise, how would he understand the system?

“System, what is your function? !”

“The otaku system, allows the host to become stronger as the host achieves a higher otaku level. Currently, the host can go out for an hour every day. During the rest of the time, the host must stay at home, otherwise, the system will obliterate the host!”

“Huh?!”

“Huh?!”

“Huh?!”

For a moment, Bruce thought that he had heard wrongly, he felt as if he had missed out on some important information.

‘The system said obliterate, right.’

‘It was obliterate, right?!’

‘F*ck!’

“That’s right, obliterate.”

The mechanical female voice appeared in his head once again. It was as if she had read Bruce’s mind and confirmed his doubts once again.

Bruce fell into deep thought.

‘Obliterate…’

‘That means to be killed, right?!’

‘This.’

‘Feels very dangerous.’

‘No!’

‘It was very dangerous!’

He could not go out, if he did he would be killed by the system!

At that moment, Bruce seemed to have made a decision, but in the very next moment, he was stunned.

“Wait, system, put aside the matter that you want to obliterate me first.”

“If I don’t go to work, I won’t have the money to eat, so how will I live?”

‘Humans need to eat food, especially pizza, hamburgers, coke, and fried chicken, these are standard otaku food!’

‘Now that there were none of these, what kind of otaku does that make me?’

“Answer. Host, please be rest assured, when the host stays at home for 1 minute, 1 experience point and a 1 yuan reward will be rewarded. You will also receive a 0.1 attribute bonus every hour!”

“That’s amazing! ?”

Bruce immediately took out his phone and began to calculate.

‘1 minute is 1 yuan, 1 hour is 60 yuan, 1 day is 24 hours, that makes a total of 1,440 yuan!’

‘Eh!’

‘F*ck!’

‘Earning more than 1,000 yuan a day, without even leaving the house.’

‘This is the best thing ever!’

Bruce was definitely going to do this otaku thing!

Whether it was an earthquake, a fire, or even a tsunami, he would go through thick and thin and die together with the house!

As long as the earth did not explode, he would not leave the house!

No.

Even if the earth exploded, he would not go out. Since it had already exploded, there was no point in going out.

Bruce regained his rationality after the excitement.

“There’s something I want to ask.”

“System, what if, hypothetically speaking, supposing that, I can’t take it, and I die, what would you do?”

This was a question that had always been on his mind when he was reading novels. Today, he finally had a chance to bring it up.

“That’s a simple question, pick the next victim.”

‘Hmph.’

‘As expected.’

But wait!

How could Bruce die so easily.

He was merely asking.

“Ding! Host has a newbie gift bag. Do you want to open it?”

This was when the system prompted him once again.

“Yes, open! Of course I want to open it!”

“Opening newbie gift bag…”

“Ding, host has obtained a demigod skill — The Eye of Truth!”

“The Eye of Truth?”

Bruce did not give much thought to it, he immediately opened the gift bag to check.

“I see, I see.”

This system was very simple, it checks other people’s favorability towards itself: 60 was the normal value, if the value was lower than 60, it would mean that the person loathed him.

However…

The Eye of Truth had another passive skill, as long as one used the Eye of Truth to check the other party, the other party’s favorability towards the user would increase by 10 points!

It was truly a beneficial weapon.

Though it did not seem to be of much use to Bruce at the moment.

Since it was given by the system, he would accept it anyhow.

“Ding! Host, please take note that there will be a randomized house-leaving crisis. Host, please try your best to overcome it. Overcoming the house-leaving crisis will grant you points!”

“Hint: host, please level up as soon as possible, because the difficulty house-leaving crises will increase as time passes!” 

“Hint: free time will be calculated and reset at 12 am!”

The system went completely silent after that. She would only appear again when she was called upon.

Now, he had to resign from his job?

After all, he had to stay at home, and staying at home was work.

Bruce did not think too much, he punched a series of numbers to make a call.

“Bruce! Don’t you know that it’s break time?!”

“Do you know what will happen if you call me now?! Have you finished your work yet?!”

Before Bruce could say anything, the person on the other end of the phone immediately started shouting.

He vaguely hear a lewd moan.

This fat boss, he was back at it.

If it were any other day, Bruce would have endured it. After all, it was all for the sake of making a living.

Now, the system had awakened.

While going out meant being obliterated, Bruce would also be earning more than a thousand a day. Why should he tolerate the fat boss!?

‘He really thinks of himself highly!’

“Scram. I’m telling you, from tomorrow onwards, I quit!”

“Do you know what you’re saying?! You dare to speak like that, but you’ll still have to obediently come to work at my place the next day!”

“Since you don’t understand, I’ll tell you again, you fat pig! I quit!”

After saying that, Bruce hung up the phone.

People like that should not be tolerated, otherwise they would really think of themselves as a person.

‘Resignation done!’

‘The system has been awakened!’

‘Everything is starting to feel comfortable!’

Bruce felt that his life was getting better and better!

“Mr. Bruce!”

“Mr. Bruce!”

“Your package has arrived, please come out to sign your package!”

At this moment, the courier kept shouting at the door.

‘Delivery?’

‘How did I forget about this!’

Bruce was now facing a major crisis!
