After returning home, Lin Jin found himself with nothing to do. Even though it was just his first day back, the lack of a computer in the house left him with few options, at most, he could read novels on his phone or watch shows on the small TV.
The problem was that Lin Jin had lost interest in television. After all, he was accustomed to using a computer, which offered a wider variety of shows and far fewer commercial interruptions.
Lin Jin threw all the empty liquor bottles in the house into the garbage bin downstairs and gave the place a thorough cleaning. Exhausted, he collapsed onto his bed and drifted into a restless sleep.
When he woke up, it was only 6 in the evening. Staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, Lin Jin finally got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for himself.
Lin Jin's cooking skills were quite poor, almost on par with his dad's. Fortunately, he at least knew how to stir-fry vegetables and fry an egg. As for the taste, it was just barely passable.
For dinner, he stir-fried some water spinach, fried an egg, and cooked a small bowl of plain porridge. Lin Jin hadn't even eaten lunch that day. Originally planning to lose weight, he found himself unable to control his laziness when it came to exercising. So, to lose weight, he had to control his appetite instead.
After spending an hour cooking and eating, Lin Jin cleaned up the dishes and returned to his bed to play on his phone. He occasionally shifted positions or lay sprawled on the bed, lost in thought.
His phone vibrated in his hand. Glancing at it, Lin Jin saw that it was a notification for the completion of the weekly task. Shortly after, the class group chat received a message from the counselor tagging everyone, saying that the scores had been posted on the campus website, along with a link.
Since he had completed the task, he was assured of scoring at least 70 in the final exam. Having already passed, Lin Jin had no interest in checking his grades and put his phone aside.
"Lin Jin! Lin Jin!"
A somewhat unfamiliar shrill female voice suddenly burst out from the phone's speaker, startling Lin Jin so much that he nearly flung his phone across the bed.
"Your task is completed again! The new task will be available tomorrow. Also, your 'Forgiveness Pill' has been sent to your inventory" the voice said.
"Black cat?" Lin Jin hesitantly asked.
"Yes."
What the f*ck? Lin Jin had heard the black cat's voice a few times before, but it had always been a rough, low-pitched and slightly weird male voice. Now it had turned into a cutesy loli voice?
"Did you get a sex change or something?" Lin Jin frowned as he picked up his phone. On the screen, he saw the black cat squatting in the center.
"I am an all-powerful system! Changing my voice is a trivial matter. Don't humans also use software to modify their voices?" After explaining, the black cat suddenly stood up, placing its front paws behind its back and arrogantly said, "With this voice, I've already seduced three innocent young boys who want to start online dating with me!"
Lin Jin's face twitched. He had never considered that the black cat could be out on the internet seducing men with a female voice.
"I've become so proficient at hooking up with guys~ Lin Jin, you can't fall behind!" The black cat giggled in that loli voice, sending chills down Lin Jin's spine.
If he had heard this loli voice elsewhere, Lin Jin might have felt attracted to the person behind it. But the problem was that this voice belonged to the black cat...
"Right! I just remembered a... what should be a rather interesting new task." The black cat wore a sinister grin on its face, its two front paws anthropomorphically placed in front of it, rubbing together, "How about, you can get together with your dad?"
"What?" Lin Jin was so startled by the black cat that he sprung up from his bed. He hurriedly placed his phone on the pillow, knelt down, and joined his hands together in a devout manner. With complete sincerity, he spoke to the black cat, "Big Brother, I was wrong. From now on, I will wholeheartedly carry out your tasks. I am very very willing to become a goddess, so let’s not do these unethical things?"
The black cat was extremely satisfied with Lin Jin's reaction. It snorted twice, and with a swipe of its large paw, a new task message popped up on Lin Jin's phone.
F*ck, it's not really a task about getting together with dad, is it?
Trembling, Lin Jin opened the task to find that it was a chain task.
Chain Task: Family Bonds!
Current Completion Status: Lin Chen (1/1), Wu Juan (0/1), Lin Chengchang (0/1)
"Your family is fraught with conflicts, so you should get your family members to love each other, make your parents rekindle their old relationship, and ensure that your family can live happily together. But for now, what you should address is getting your dad to accept you as you are now. Pfft.
Task Reward: Height 165 cm [It's said that you wish you were taller, so this cat will make you grow taller!]
Task Punishment: Wear a mini-skirt for an entire day
This black cat actually knows the name of his mother, who hasn't even appeared in this book yet.
Hmm? This task... although it seems quite difficult, is actually the first one in a long while that appears to have no downside for me?"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Lin Jin rested his hands on his cheeks and carefully pondered over the task.
As for his younger brother Lin Chen, the task was already marked as completed, so that could be ignored.
But if he was to help his parents rekindle their old relationship, then surely he would need to figure out a way to get his dad to quit gambling and drinking, right? If those two issues aren't resolved, even if his mom agrees to meet with his dad, and even if his dad behaves exceptionally well at that time, they would undoubtedly break up again later.
"This task is doable, right?" The black cat stood proudly with its paws on its hips, grinning smugly, a sense of satisfaction washing over its face after teasing Lin Jin. "That's right, it's about getting together your dad, nothing wrong with that."
Lin Jin rolled his eyes at the black cat, not wanting to engage with the cat that had just teased him.
If I have to get Dad to quit gambling... um, that seems unlikely. Better think about how to get him to accept me in this almost girl like look of mine now.
Hmm, I don't know what the 'Forgiveness Pill' does, but maybe they can be used on Dad? Although just hearing the name makes me feel like I'm getting cucked.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Jin suddenly heard the sound of his dad opening the door.
Soon after, another man's voice appeared outside Lin Jin's bedroom, seemingly the man who had called for his dad to work earlier today.
"I'm not drunk! Don't touch me!"
A series of chaotic noises followed from outside the door, as the man was apparently infuriated enough by Lin Jin's dad to slam the door and leave. After that, Lin Jin could no longer hear any sounds from his dad.
Carefully opening his bedroom door and poking his head out, he saw his dad lying on the ground, writhing around, clearly extremely drunk. Even Wu Min, who got wasted after a breakup last time, seemed to look better than his dad did at that moment.
"As expected, there's no saving him..." Looking at his dad in this state, Lin Jin sighed deeply, feeling hopeless about the task the black cat had given him."
