In the end, Luo Su only had the system eat the chicken bones on the floor and not lick the bottom of his shoe clean. This was not out of kindness, but because the training was not something done in a single stroke. You occasionally needed to offer a little reward. For example, you could let the other party keep a little dignity.

Haste makes waste!

Continuous bullying and torture would only inspire greater resistance. If the system decided to just stop working, Luo Su would derive no benefit from it.

Slowly boiling the frog was the best way. Slowly apply pressure, grind away at their bottom line, leave him a little hope each time, let him think that he only needed to grin and bear it for a little while.

When enough time passed, the other party would unconsciously get used to this lifestyle. There would be no resistance, only obedience, and tolerance. They might even do things on their own and flatter their superiors, becoming the so-called…lapdog!

There was no rush to accomplish this, and Luo Su was not planning to get it done quickly. His current goal was afflicting the system with Stockholm Syndrome.

From this, one could see that Luo Su’s instructor at the police academy was right, and his evaluation had been on point. If this man decided to be bad, he could be the worst of villains.

The system indignantly looked at the scraps on the floor. What it had eaten was not a chicken bone, but its pride and dignity. Even though it had been forced, it still felt the experience to be greatly humiliating. It was like it had lost something and would never be able to find it again.

Luo Su seemed confident and assured, so the system couldn’t help but voice a question on its mind, “User, why do you humiliate me like this? Aren’t you afraid that I might just cut off relations and choose a new person?”

Luo Su chuckled. “Impossible! You can’t do it! I’m already a true user. Completing three World Missions was all a lie you concocted. You’ve been tied to me from the very start!”

“…”

The system’s face twitched, and it stuck out its tongue and panted. The Shiba Inu’s face put on a rather human-like flattering smile as the system began to play dumb.

“I didn’t notice at the start, but after each world, I grew more and more suspicious…”

The system cautiously asked, “You…Sir, what suspicious things did you notice?”

“The first is my character level! A leveling system exists so that a player can feel happy about leveling up. I don’t need 99 levels with one attack, but after three Mission Worlds, I’m barely level 3! With this sort of discouraging leveling system, who would keep playing?”

“This…it can’t be considered suspicious. There are a lot of games with slow leveling!”

“But I’m still a new player, and even if the leveling is slow, that should be for the later levels…putting aside the slow leveling system, there are no side quests, you can’t purchase experience, can’t purchase wealth, and there are no in-app purchases. There’s no sense of this being a game. There’s no explaining all these holes.”

“This…I don’t think there’s anything wrong about this…”

Luo Su coldly chuckled. He stared at the system for so long that it looked away, and only then did he continue to explain. “There are too many places that don’t make sense. If my guess is correct, you’ve modified the screen and even deducted from my rewards.”

The dog shivered and looked away with guilty eyes.

“I only had doubts at first. After all, there’s no evidence. But when you were in such a rush to get the contract signed, I became more certain.” Luo Su knocked on the surface of the table. A milk bone appeared, which he picked up, waved around and threw at his feet.

The system dog sullenly came up and held the bone in its mouth while growling contentedly. It had been forced, its body acting on instinct and out of its control.

“Show me the real screen. I don’t want to see that fake this time!”

The system dog shivered. Tossing aside the bone, it appeared to be caught in a fierce struggle. But its struggles were futile, and the new system screen soon displayed itself in front of Luo Su.

[User: Luo Su]

[Strength: 11 (7+4)]

[Constitution: 9 (6+3)]

[Wisdom: 11 (9+2)]

[Wealth: 5700]

…

“No level…true, it’s not exactly necessary…my Wealth went from 700 to 5700. You only gave me the change! How vicious!”

Upon hearing Luo Su’s sinister tone, the system dog changed forms into a beautiful little girl. It wore a sailor uniform, a childish face and large breasts, and two golden ponytails. It blinked large and watery eyes at Luo Su as it spoke in a sweet tone.

“Daddy Luo Su…”

This was not its original appearance. As a program, the system did not have an actual body. It had probably taken its form to win over Luo Su with cuteness.

Even a little girl’s farts smelled sweet!

The system thought that if it became like this, then even if Luo Su gave it a beating, he would strike with less strength.

Thud!

A fist slammed into the little girl’s face, leaving behind a clear impression and two trickles of blood running down the system’s face.

“Don’t call me, daddy! I don’t want people to think I’m a pervert! Call me, Uncle Luo!”

This sort of address makes you even more perverted!

The system held its nose and mentally cursed.

Putting the system to the side, Luo Su continued to examine his traits screen. He had extra permanent skills.

[Sixth Sense (A weapon to save your life. A divine skill for new players on par with Heart of Iron, Tenacious Will, and Cockroach Body)]

Upon seeing this permanent skill, Luo Su suddenly conjectured that he had been chosen by the system because of his talent. If there was no filter for selecting a user, the system might have to change users every day, tiring itself to death.

Luo Su began to search around, but he didn’t find the ‘System Shop’ he had seen at first. It had been replaced by ‘Recycle Station,’ which had the symbol of a trash can.

After asking, he learned that there was no shop. The buying and selling service had been a complete sham.

As for the Recycle Station, it was there so that the user could exchange cards that they felt useless for Wealth.

Luo Su was speechless. “If there’s no shop, what do I need Wealth for?”

“You can extend the time of a Character Card! And exchange for lottery pulls! In addition, when pulling rewards after leaving the Mission Reward, there’s an extremely high chance of pulling stat points.”

Luo Su’s face turned dark. “Is this where my stat points came from?”

The system crouched down, trembling as it put its hands around its head. In order to make the user believe in the existence of the leveling system, it had taken the deducted Wealth and used it to pull from the lottery. If it pulled stat points, it would save them for later, and if it pulled stat cards, it would throw them into the Recycle Station and use the Wealth for more pulls.

One thousand points of Wealth could be exchanged for one pull, but the Recycle Station only gave back 100 points of Wealth for each card.

He was about to go insane!

Luo Su didn’t use violence. Treating it as a minor matter, he sternly asked, “One last question. Where did you come from? Who created you? What’s the reason for assisting users?”

The system immediately stood up, wiping away the blood on its nose and placing its hand on its hips as it sternly said, “With regards to my background and creator…I also don’t know. I also don’t know my purpose. I was just designed for this!”

Luo Su glared at the system, which subconsciously backed away. With an aggrieved look, it continued, “I’m not lying! I really don’t know! After I was created, I traveled through various universes and worlds, assisting users in completing their missions. It was only after I developed my own consciousness that I began to…began to learn how to get power for myself because those deceptive users were always trying to obliterate my consciousness.”

“And then they were killed by your petty maneuvers?”

“Hahaha, no! Those were all accidents!”

Luo Su stopped his questions there. It didn’t really matter whether the system knew the answers or was only pretending not to know. Luo Su was well aware that the creator behind a system that could travel throughout the multiverse was undoubtedly an existence so powerful that it was impossible to describe. A bean sprout like him didn’t need to worry about so much, just needed to do as he pleased.

Moreover, he was doing rather well. At the very least…he had gotten stronger!

Seeing that Luo Su had fallen quiet, the system probed, “Uncle Luo, is there any other way I can serve you?”

Luo Su nodded and gave a content smile. The system rubbed its hands and gave a flattering smile, but a second later, it got another punch to the face.

“How many times do I have to say it? Call me, daddy!”

“….” Blood gushed out from between the system’s fingers. The system felt worn out and didn’t reply.

“Hand over all the stat points you’ve been keeping, and also…as a new user, where’s my new player pack?”
