I Accept The Mission

"I'm a slave." Chen Ming determined his fate right then and there. He glanced at the little chick and asked, "Will I get points if I wear this thing?"

"Of course!" The chick went lively at once as he danced once again, flapping his ugly wings back and forth.

People usually say don't judge others from their looks. That's true, but what if the looks were fake? Chen Ming clearly understood from his conversation with this person that this body of a chick was merely a loaded system function.

Since the system could change him into a cute boy or even a handsome man or a woman, why did this thing have to look so terribly ugly?

He liked birds, especially the cute babies. But this chick was fat all over, and his wings didn't even look yellow, a dirty color that he couldn't recognize. All the feathers in the chick's body stood out as the corners were colored in mud.

What was even worse was that whenever he flapped his wings, an unpleasant odor would pass onto his face, making Chen Ming wrinkle his nose.

If this little thing wasn't ugly then what was?

But he didn't want to urge the little thing to change his outfit into someone else. He was too lazy to do so.

The chick didn't know what was going on in the man's head. He simply finished dancing awkwardly and coughed as he raised his little, ugly head, saying, "So, you know how to wear this thing, right? If you don't, there's a manual on the side."

Chen Ming looked at the manual as he frowned upon reading the title.

How to wear lingerie?

What the fuck was up with this title? Lingerie? No, this outfit clearly was long…

Wait a minute…

These laces….

Chen Ming's expression changed as he glared at the outfit in his hands. He suddenly didn't want to do this.

He was out.

He should die instead of being humiliated this way.

Just as he was thinking deep in his mind as to what he should do, the ugly chick jumped and said, "I'll help you wear this!"

"I quit." Chen Ming had already made up his mind to die. In any case, he had thought he had to bend for one person, but this was a clear case for slavery. His life would turn terrible if he were to step into this zone.

So why not die early and relieve himself of all the suffering?

Chick felt a hint of urgency in his heart as he finally blurted out another lie, bawling from his heart, "Host!!!!!"

The chick ran forward and held the man's legs, keeping a death grip as he looked up with his teary face. If the chick were to be beautiful, it would look extremely adorable while bawling like this with his tear-filled eyes, staring up at the man like this.

But he wasn't anything more than a mere ugly chick who could have bought a good body for himself but didn't for some reason.

Chen Ming didn't feel a trace of sympathy for this chick. He stared at it until the little chick finished crying his heart out and sniffled, saying, "Host, I'll return to my grounded state for life if you don't accept this task."

"Oh?" Chen Ming wasn't surprised that the truth was out now. He didn't really trust this thing anyway. "What has that got to do with me? You were lying to me about everything, didn't you?"

"Yes….." Chick wiped the snot on his nose with his ugly wings and said, "I lied…. You won't die…. You have a chance to refuse this task and live your life without any memory of this as if something like this never happened, but you only have this chance now before accepting the mission, which you clearly haven't yet…."

Only now did Chick realize his mistake. He should have first made his host accept the mission before blurting out the truth like this. He felt immensely regretful of his actions.

Ah, if only he could have controlled himself. Why did he have to act like a little kid?!

Chen Ming nodded. "Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"

Chick nodded as he started making circles on the ground. "You are a mistake….. I had hacked into the server, trying to find a way out when you popped up as an emergency case. I took you over without revealing the truth to my higher-ups…."

"Okay," Chen Ming pulled up the corners of his lips, but his smile remained cold. "What else?"

"What else?!" The system wanted to cry as he started bawling once again. "I have told you everything already!"

Chen Ming stared at the little system for a while, thinking deeply about his situation. He had always been an introvert with not a single event beyond his expectations. Since he would always think to himself and would continue to introspect about his situation even if something out of the ordinary happened, he could still handle it.

Only now did he realize things wouldn't always be under his control no matter what. Until now, his life was boring without any fluctuations, and he had even planned for the next twenty years of his life.

But now…..

Even though he didn't know what to do anymore, even though he was stuck in a compromising situation, he clearly felt a trace of fluctuation in his heart, which had remained calm for such a long time already. And honestly, he wanted to continue feeling this.

Was he a masochist?

No….. Not until now.

Well, whatever. Since he was already here, he might as well go with the flow.

Thus, he opened his mouth and said, "Alright. I accept whatever the mission is."

The chick who was crying his heart out was stunned after hearing those words. He looked at the man, completely stunned as he spoke directly, "What did you just say?"

"I accept your mission." Chen Ming gestured for the outfit in his hands as he said, "Now, help me wear this, will you?"
