"... In summary, you are called System 644, your main job is to transfer me to different worlds and give me information from the world system that will help me adapt to said worlds. And the only thing I have to do is look pretty?"
System 644 replied back enthusiastically: "Yes! Not just pretty but beautiful, extremely beautiful, that's just what you are and what you need to be. No need to be the best in anything, you just need to stand there and make everything look beautiful."
"So I can assume, that this will be very similar to those system, world-hopping, transmigration stories online that also include the so-called main leads?"
Ever since he quit working, Gu Musheng had read a massive amount of these kind of stories. Mostly for the face slapping and romance. All in all, there's was just a strong feeling of satisfaction when seeing the main leads get smacked around.
"Yes this will be quite similar, except you can't counterattack, can't counterattack, can't counterattack! Important things must be said thrice! You will just be a character that's mentioned in the passing for their beauty. You don't need to get involved with the main leads, so there won't be justification for counterattacking. They're responsible for the drama, you on the other hand are responsible for the beauty."
Properly sitting on his chair now, Gu Musheng leaned back, crossing his right leg over his left.
"So I can sit back and just watch the show?"
"Yes, we can even provide you with the best melon seeds."
Wonderful, it would seem that this job is ideal for someone like himself. He wouldn't need to work hard, didn't need to worry about his coworkers, and especially didn't have to lead any projects. He can just do things at his leisure.
In his mind, a mini Gu Musheng slyly rubbed their hands. It's perfect, now all he had to do was make sure there were plenty of dramas to keep him entertained.
"So let me get this straight about the benefits. You'll provide me with "little" golden fingers?"
"That's correct, it's called "little" because they aren't as impact inducing as a main lead's would be. For example, the main lead can have an incredible instinct, allowing them to gain excellent results or dodge life threatening danger. If you were to get an instinct golden finger, it'll at most help you choose the correct answer on a test or give you good choices to make investments in. Just that they won't be extreme as a main lead's."
Gu Musheng nodded. It was fair-ish, he didn't need to go through tragic hurdles like the main leads. Getting small benefits to make life easier is pretty good.
If he wasn't already dead.
Yes, he's still pretty salty about not getting to finish his drama.
If they were going to murder him and take his soul, couldn't they have done it after the drama finished?
What if he came back as a vengeful ghost, huh?
"Alright then next, can you explain where I am?"
"Ah right, so you are already in a world, the time and space have been stopped so that you can get briefed before we let you go. Right now, you are the wealthy X family's third son, oh almost forgot. As an extra benefit you are allowed to keep one thing from your mortal past. Like a birthmark, your lip shape, eyes, name, personal characteristics and so on. They'll be permanently taken with you as you travel. So what will your choice be?"
Gu Musheng didn't have to think about it as much, he just simple said, "My name."
"Surname, given name, or the whole name?"
"Whole name."
"Then that's that~ you are the third son, Gu Musheng who's known for their otherworldly beauty, but other than your beauty, everything else is average. You have two doting parents and elder twin siblings. Right now you are at a prestigious university, Huilan. It's time for your morning lecture. Everyone around you is rich-rich and elites of the prominent families in NOM city. The only people not rich in money are the scholarship students. What they lack in wealth is what they have in intelligence."
"Then the main leads?"
"Oh they're not here yet, you'll be able to identify them as soon as they come across your sight. Well this is it for the basic information. The more detailed information is already installed into your memories. So if you think about who's the sixth child of your second aunt's cousin, then the knowledge will be immediately recalled~ Oh and there's no need to worry about the original owner of the body you inhabit. This body is 100% all natural and was created to hold your soul specifically!"
"..."
...how long were they planning for my murder?
"...I see.."
"Yup, well if you need to contact me, you call or text me. My contacts have already been added to your phone, and if it's an emergency you can call out "Connect to System 644" in your mind and I'll be able to reach you instantly! I'm always on standby so if you need me, it's not inconvenient at all~"
"And my golden finger?"
"You can contact me when you decide on one or if you want to randomly pull out a choice out of a box."
"Alright, I'm ready."
"Okay~ world is resuming in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Good luck~"
With that said, the sound of people talking filled his ears.
The world has started to move.
The drama had just begun.
