Chapter 2 - Simp's Reciprocal System

"Daoist Ye, you have finally come out!"

 

"It has been quite a few days since I last saw you stepped out of your house! I was worried that you would tire out yourself too much and thus decided to come over and check on you…"

 

"Now that I see that Daoist Ye seems to be looking fine, I can finally put my mind at ease!"

 

Standing in front of Ye Hua, Ling Rui'er placed her hands onto her chest and let out a sigh of relief.

 

Being cared by such a beautiful woman, Ye Hua almost couldn't help but thought to himself, "Mom, I have fallen in love!"

 

However, from his memories, Ye Hua knew that this woman wasn't a good person at all.

 

From Ye Hua's memories, a good number of pills that the previous host managed to concoct were gifted to Ling Rui'er.

 

Before the previous host was sent over to this store to work as an alchemist, he had always been living in the family manor.

 

Therefore, it was only natural that the previous host would be pure minded and unaware of the dangers of the outside world.

 

After being sent over to work at the store, he was fooled by Ling Rui'er gentleness and constant concern for him, and he ended up thinking that Ling Rui'er was fond of him.

 

Therefore, during a certain time where the two were having a chat with each other…

 

After Ling Rui'er "unintentionally" mentioned that her pay was low and she was having troubles with paying her rent and affording pills for cultivating…

 

The previous host immediately gifted her the few pills that he himself managed to concoct after great difficulty.

 

Upon being gifted with the pills, Ling Rui'er began grinning from ear to ear.

 

And upon seeing the beautiful smile that Ling Rui'er made when he gifted her the pills, the previous host felt that it was all worth it.

 

Ever since that day the previous host gifted Ling Rui'er a few pills, every few days when the previous host and Ling Rui'er were chatting with each other…

 

Ling Rui'er would from time to time "unintentionally" bring up the same topic of not having enough money to pay rent and afford pills…

 

And she would even praise the previous host for being skillful in concocting pills, saying that the effects of the pills that the previous host concocted were good.

 

Just like this, even though the previous host was already having trouble with reaching the weekly quota of number of pills to concoct…

 

Every few days, the previous host would give Ling Rui'er a few pills as a gift.

 

"This damn fucking simp!"

 

"He was already having trouble meeting his weekly quota and yet he actually still dares to give this Ling Rui'er a few pills as a gift every few days?!"

 

Recalling his memories up to here, Ye Hua couldn't help but curse out at the previous host.

 

Little did Ye Hua know, if the previous host was able to see the memories from Ye Hua's past life, the previous host would curse at Ye Hua by saying…

 

"You think you are better than me?! You are no different from me!"

 

While Ye Hua was recalling his memories, upon seeing that there wasn't any response from Ye Hua after she had just displayed her concern for him, Ling Rui'er was a little astonished.

 

However, she didn't think too much of it.

 

It's a pain in the ass to have to act like this every time just for the sake of getting this Ye Hua to give me 5 qi congregation pills…

 

But, 5 qi congregation pills are still better than nothing at all!

 

Although this Ye Hua's pill concocting skill is quite bad, and all of the pills that he concocts are low quality pills…

 

It is better than getting nothing at all!

 

With a smile on her face, and her eyes seemingly turned into two crescent moons, Ling Rui'er asked tenderly.

 

"Daoist Ye, after going into closed-door cultivation for a few days, I'm guessing you must have been able to concoct quite a number of pills, right?"

 

"Sigh… I'm so envious of Daoist Ye for being able to have the talent to concoct pills…"

 

"Unlike me… all I can do is to work as a store attendant…"

 

As Ling Rui'er spoke, her tone slowly became softer, and she seemed as if she was about to cry at any moment.

 

Anyone who heard Ling Rui'er tone would be unable to help but want to protect and care for her.

 

However, toward Ling Rui'er act, all Ye Hua felt in his heart was disdain.

 

Just because I didn't respond to her just now when I was recollecting my memories, she is already going to the next phase of her act?

 

Trying to act pitiful to gain my pity?

 

Just so I would give her pills?

 

This woman can dream on!

 

As expected from my memories, this woman is indeed not a good woman!

 

Unfortunately for Ling Rui'er, Ye Hua was no longer the Ye Hua that she knew.

 

If she was hoping for Ye Hua to give her pills just by acting pitiful, she would have a higher chance of that happening in her dreams.

 

However, looking at this woman's face… and her figure…

 

I don't mind giving her some pills if she is willing to work for it!

 

In any case, I have already given up on everything, so I might as well enjoy myself while I still can.

 

With the 20 remaining qi congregation pills that the previous host concocted, I should be able to live decently for a week or two…

 

 If she's willing to work for it, I don't mind using the pills as her payment…

 

But if she thinks that she is going to able to obtain pills from me for free, she can forget about it!

 

I would rather jump down from a cliff and die than be a simp for a woman who I have no feelings for!

 

Right when Ye Hua was about to open his mouth and speak to Ling Rui'er…

 

A sudden "ding" rang out within his mind.

 

"Ding!"

 

"A female cultivator that is fitting of the system's criteria has been detected…"

 

"Simp's Reciprocal System is currently being activated…"

 

[Suitable target: Ling Rui'er]

 

[Reciprocal rate: 10 times]

 

While listening to the voice that was speaking in his mind, Ye Hua couldn't help but start getting excited.

 

However, while feeling excited, he was also feeling a little confused.

 

He was excited about the fact that he actually possessed a system.

 

But what he was feeling a little confused about was that there seems to be a weird word amongst the name of his system…

 

Simp's Reciprocal System…? Simp…

 

I am getting a bad feeling from the name of this system…

 

Judging from the name of the system, the word 'simp'…

 

It isn't referring to me, right…?

 

While with a bad feeling in his stomach, Ye Hua tried talking to the system,

 

"System…? Can you explain in depth about just what is it that you do…?"

 

Not long after Ye Hua finished speaking, right when Ye Hua thought that the system wasn't going to respond to him…

 

Words suddenly appeared before his eyes.

 

[The main function of Simp's Reciprocal System is to allow the system's host to not have to worry about not having money to give gifts to the host's goddesses]

 

[As long as the host gives gifts to a goddess who meets the system's criteria, the host will be able to receive reciprocal of the gifts that were given away]

 

[The criteria to become the host's goddess are shown below]

 

[Criteria 1: Has to possess an appearance score of 80 and above]

 

[Criteria 2: Has to possess a figure score of 80 and above]

 

[Criteria 3: Possesses a spiritual root]

 

[Criteria 4: Has to be a cultivator]

 

[Criteria 5: Has to be a virgin]

 

[To determine the reciprocal rate of a goddess, Simp's Reciprocal System will judge the goddess's appearance score, figure score, background, temperament, and various other factors]

 

[Therefore, different goddesses will have different reciprocal rates]

 

[The reciprocal gifts that the host will obtain may either be…]

 

[1. A multiply of the gifts given to a goddess]

 

[2. A multiply of the quality of the gifts given to a goddess]

 

[Whether which option will be chosen will be determined by what the host needs the most]

 

[When the host is giving gifts to a goddess, the host is only allowed to give gifts that correspond to the goddess's cultivation level]

 

[If the host gave gifts that don't correspond to the goddess's cultivation level, no reciprocal will be given back to the host]

 

[If the host gave any gift that a goddess needs importantly and caused a huge fluctuation in the goddess's mood, the host may be able to obtain rewards or extra reciprocal gifts]

 

[Note: The effect of being able to receive reciprocal gifts only works once every week]

 

After carefully reading everything that was shown in front of his eyes, Ye Hua went into a daze for a moment.

 

This system… Isn't it basically trying to get me to become a simp?

 

If I were to give gifts to a so-called 'goddess' of mine, I would be able to receive multiple times of what I gave to the goddess…

 

Even more, if I gave a gift that the goddess needs importantly, I will be able to obtain rewards or extra reciprocal gifts…

 

Not only is this system trying to get me to become a simp…

 

It's even trying to get me to become a caring and attentive simp…

 

If I want to obtain rewards or extra reciprocal gifts, I'm going to have to carefully observe and pay attention to the so-called 'goddesses' of mine…

 

A system that helps to nurture the host to become a perfect simp?!

 

This… this is completely absurd!

 

However, now that I have this system, it seems that I don't have to give up on my life in this cruel cultivation world!
