Lin Jin spent the entire day worrying. She nervously prepared various weapons, buying two kitchen knives and a dagger from the supermarket. She wrapped them in newspaper and hid them in her dorm, carrying the dagger with her at all times, even tucking it under her pillow when she slept.

Since the task couldn't be completed, she prepared for everything, waiting for the punishment from the task. Her plan was to directly kill the thug who tried to harass her when the time came.

Lin Jin was fiercely contemplating the next steps. After all, if she fought back and killed someone who was trying to harm her, it should count as self-defense, right? Even if it didn't, she doubted the black cat would be willing to see its toy sent to prison.

She had finally realized her status in the eyes of the black cat, perhaps she was just a toy to it. When she was attempting to seduce Chen Hao earlier in the afternoon, acting like a young girl or a sultry seductress, the black cat was likely somewhere watching her make a fool of herself while snacking leisurely.

At this thought, Lin Jin shivered, a cold chill enveloping her.

If she could successfully evade the punishment this time, it would indicate that the black cat was not invincible. Its punishments could be avoided, and she could then choose tasks that favored her, rather than being passively used as the black cat's toy.

Sighing, she touched the two daggers in her pocket. Calling them daggers was a bit of an exaggeration, they were really just smaller fruit knives. She had purposely bought smaller ones so they wouldn't be conspicuous when she carried them.

"Lin Jin, you're not sleeping yet?" Wu Min, lying in bed playing on his phone, looked at Lin Jin, who was opposite him. The close proximity allowed him to smell the faint fragrance from her hair, making it difficult for him to sleep. "It's past midnight."

"We don't have class tomorrow." Interrupted by Wu Min, Lin Jin rolled over on her bed. She felt a slight pressure on her chest from the pillow, and she propped herself up to look at Wu Min. "Are you going out tomorrow?"

If Wu Min wasn't going out, then Lin Jin definitely wouldn't either. Once the task was declared failed the next day, she planned to stay with Wu Min, who seemed to be the strongest and closest to her.

"Not going out. Are you planning to play?" Wu Min rolled onto his side. "Or do you want me to go out and buy something for you?"

"No, nothing like that." Lin Jin brushed her hair away from her eyes and yawned. "Then, let's sleep."

The night passed without a word. When Lin Jin woke up, it was already around 11 in the morning.

Wen Xuan was still in bed, with his head covered by the blanket and his whole body wrapped in sleep. Wu Min seemed to be sleeping comfortably, although his sleeping posture wasn't the most graceful. His blanket was kicked to the bottom, his shirt was pulled up to his neck, and he looked as if he was wearing a scarf.

Lin Jin was a bit uneasy. She took the two fruit knives from under her pillow, put them in the pocket of her pajama pants, picked up her phone, and checked her task list uneasily. She found that she had only one hour left to complete the task.

The black cat was still nowhere to be seen. Lin Jin pursed her lips in worry, thinking that the black cat was preparing her task punishment and that's why it had disappeared.

She climbed down from the bed, looked blankly at her reflection in the mirror, and sighed. Now, her face was almost as fair as it had been when she was in middle school, and even if her features were not particularly feminine, she looked like a pretty young boy.

Even though she was already 18 years old, her face would probably be mistaken for a 15 or 16 year old if judged purely on that. If you consider her figure and temperament as well, she just barely gives off the vibe of a female college student. Just a female college student, not a male one...

Recently, it seemed like nothing was going smoothly. She failed to charm Chen Hao, which would likely lead to a task failure. Her stun gun, her self-defense weapon, was also hidden by the black cat. The only piece of good news was that she would be able to change back into a man tomorrow.

How frustrating~

She somewhat detested her own face, which seemed indistinguishable from a real girl's.

Feeling depressed, she turned on her computer to check when her pepper spray ordered online would arrive, only to find out that it wouldn't be shipped out until later today because she had placed the order too late yesterday.

"Seriously..." Lin Jin sighed deeply and began to play on her computer, waiting for the black cat to announce the task's failure.

She had pretty much prepared for everything, all that was left was to brace herself for the punishment of the task.

If the black cat offered a tempting task like this again in the future, Lin Jin would definitely refuse it, even if the reward was thousands of yuans. She would not be tempted at all! These tasks not only require her to shed her dignity but are also so damn difficult! She had done her best to lure Chen Hao, but she still failed the task.

Was her acting skills not up to par?

Lin Jin wasn't particularly fond of playing on the computer. Even though she could spend a whole day in front of it during her free time, it was usually for watching TV shows or listening to music. She would be exhausted after just a few rounds of gaming.

So, she turned on her computer, opened a video, played the sound at the lowest volume so as not to wake her roommate, and then bowed her head to play with her phone.

Lin Jin now quite enjoyed reading novels, especially those involving gender bending. Even though reality and novels differed greatly, they could still offer some inspiration. Her attempt to flirt with Chen Hao yesterday was a move she had learned from a novel. However, reality indeed differed greatly from fiction, as Chen Hao saw through her insincerity and promptly rejected her.

Suddenly, Lin Jin saw the black cat poke its head out from the bottom right corner of her phone. With a peculiar smile on its face, it walked to the center of the screen.

Lin Jin's face immediately darkened. She glared at the black cat and typed out a question: "Where's my stun gun? Where did you hide it?"

The smile on the black cat's face vanished instantly. Looking at Lin Jin with a puzzled tilt of its head, it responded, "I didn't steal your stun gun, nor did I hide it. Didn't you take the stun gun out from your phone?"

Was the black cat denying it?

"Why would my stun gun disappear out of the blue then?" Lin Jin frowned deeply, expressing doubt at the black cat's reply, "And were you deliberately avoiding me yesterday? You were the one who forced me to complete the task, right?"

"I didn't" the black cat defended itself proudly, "Do you think I need such despicable methods to make you complete the task? I am a system, okay? I'm a cat from Meow, okay?! You fish lipped earthlings are absurd!"

God, it's irrefutable...

"Alright! The deadline for this week's task has arrived." The black cat stood on its hind legs, put its forepaws on its waist and said with arrogance, "Congratulations on failing your task~ If you treat me well, I can lower the difficulty for you a bit~"

Why does this sound like it's proposing an unspoken rule to me?
