Chapter 244: The Mascot of Level Ten Youth Pain Literature

I was tricked.

Yes...

I was definitely screwed over by this green tea-colored golden box!

Chen Jianhai was furious.

All the other boxes radiated various lights, but the black box he drew emitted only black mist.

If anyone dared to tell him that this was a mascot, he would absolutely slap them to death!

And then, listening again to what the system just said,

Wishing him hope every day and sweet dreams every night...

Is this even human language?

This black box is definitely shady!

"System!"

"This draw was unfair, I want a redraw!"

Chen Jianhai said through gritted teeth.

The surroundings were silent, with no response.

"System!"

Chen Jianhai was enraged.

After waiting for a short while, finally, a familiar and cold voice sounded again:

"Ding!"

"The host has used up the lottery chances, the system does not support a redraw."

"Please continue to complete tasks to qualify for the lottery."

After saying that,

A line of text appeared on the system panel in front of him.

"Please choose to open the lucky blind box."

Damn...

Seeing the word "lucky", Chen Jianhai's mouth twitched in hatred.

He stared at the golden box in front of him, then looked at the black box emitting thick black mist,

gritting his teeth,

Open it!

Let's see what you really are!

"Open!"

Chen Jianhai said,

The black box shook violently,

the whole system panel trembled fiercely, the screen flickering as if some fierce monster was about to burst out.

Then, a blinding black light shot out from the screen,

Before Chen Jianhai could react,

A pitch-black, shiny-feathered mynah with a yellow beak stood on the blind box machine,

with a tuft of feathers standing upright on its head,

Tilting its head as it looked at him.

The two stared at each other for a long time,

"Another bird?"

Parrots, peacocks, and now this mynah, it seemed that the system always gave him birds.

"What kind of bird is this, system!"

Chen Jianhai cursed.

Just as he was thinking about how to get this bird out of the system panel,

suddenly a voice filled with extreme melancholy sounded:

"Sometimes, all your plans for life can't match one ill-intentioned arrangement by fate."

Chen Jianhai was startled, who was speaking?!

He quickly looked around,

But besides the door guardian Iron Man, there was nothing strange in the room.

While Chen Jianhai was puzzled,

that melancholy voice spoke again weakly:

"More sorrowful than sadness is empty joy."

"Is it the world's rarity or am I not worthy?"

"My year, living one day, repeated 364 times..."

One heartbreaking sentence after another sounded in Chen Jianhai's ears,

After searching for a long time,

his gaze finally fixed on the bird in the system panel.

"Were all those words just now said by you?"

Chen Jianhai asked in astonishment.

The mynah tilted its head, slowly raising its chin to look at the sky.

"What kind of end is worthy of the journey's hardships?"

"Born at the wrong time, every place is destined."

"I can't grasp the world's beauty, so I can only pretend everything is fine."

Damn...

Hearing the mynah spewing sentence after sentence,

Chen Jianhai decisively closed the system panel,

What the hell is all this?!

Other people's mynahs are all little smartasses, full of sweet blessings,

but the mynah he drew is a level ten youth pain literature expert,

Every word is so pretentious it sends chills down his spine.

"What did I do to deserve this..."

"How could I, Chen Jianhai, have a 0.006% chance of drawing this mythical creature!"

Chen Jianhai angrily slapped his thigh.

"Ding!"

"Shut up!"

As soon as the system's voice sounded, Chen Jianhai shouted back.

But the system voice continued:

"Ding!"

"The system has detected the host has completed the task: Hotel service work for the island marathon."

"Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 2 hotel exclusive seaplanes."

"Distribution time: 2 AM tonight."

Chen Jianhai said nothing.

An awkward silence filled the air.

After 3 minutes, the system voice sounded again:

"Ding!"

"The system has detected the hotel's specialty food popularity has exceeded 10,000, the host receives 10,000 points and a sunset bar."

Chen Jianhai still showed no expression, but his left eyebrow twitched slightly.

Having dealt with the system for so long,

Chen Jianhai could precisely grasp every nuance of its words.

If the reward was "unlocked", it meant he had to spend money to buy it.

But if it was "received", it was free!

Could the system be compensating for the lottery bug?

Just as he was thinking,

The system voice sounded again:

"Ding!"

"The system has detected the hotel dessert named: Star Sugar Frosted Cookie has reached a popularity of over 3 stars."

"Congratulations to the host for receiving an incentive reward: a dessert house."

Chen Jianhai's right eyebrow raised, and his breathing became a bit rapid.

The system is giving me a dessert house for free?!

So generous!

"Ding,"

"All the above task rewards will be distributed at 2 AM tonight."

Although Chen Jianhai's expression was still serious, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift.

At least the system had a conscience, knowing to compensate him.

Just as Chen Jianhai was happily about to check his hotel task progress bar,

A melancholic voice sounded again:

"You just look happy, those dark nights, those days when you didn't dare to cry out loud, the feeling of tears swirling in your eyes, only you know."

Chen Jianhai's smile froze.

"There are many things in this world that you are powerless against, long-standing friendships suddenly break, and just as you were smiling, you suddenly start crying."

Hearing the mynah's words,

The good mood Chen Jianhai had finally built up instantly exploded.

This isn't a mascot,

This is a jinx!

"System! Can this mascot be recycled?" Chen Jianhai asked angrily.

"Ding!"

"This mascot was drawn by the host, bound to the system, please cherish it."

Cherish my ass!

Chen Jianhai almost cursed.

But in the next moment,

a piece of bad news comparable to a thunderbolt sounded in Chen Jianhai's ear.

"Ding!"

"Please build a nest for the mascot within 3 days."

"If the host does not build the nest in time, the mascot will transform into a system pet."

"The system will deduct 50% of the host's total points daily for the mascot's upkeep."

Chen Jianhai was dumbfounded.

This damn bird, kept in the system, will deduct 50% of my points daily...

I earn so few points in a day!

According to the system's rules, it wouldn't take long for all his hard-earned points to be fed to the bird.

But if the bird were to come out, spreading its youth pain literature every day, making all the guests depressed, what would he do?!

"The sweat and tears you shed today are because of the wrong choices you made."

"Many times, you dig a pit and then jump into it without hesitation."

"You dug the pit, you jumped in, and you couldn't get out in the end."

Chen Jianhai: I'll strangle you!!!
