Chapter 19: "The Punishment"

[To check the players' main job ranking, please click this message!] The notification continued.

Yaya felt like complaining to the game company, but he still clicked the job ranking list.

'Is Jia job that low-ranked? I remember it's E or F rank but can't be the worst, right…?'

TING! [Here is the list of the players' main job rank.]

(SSS) Secretary

(SS) Housekeeper part-time

(S) Head department

(A) Neighbors student

(B) Bodyguard

(B) Driver

(C) Waitress

(C) Singer

(D) Barmaid

(E) Cleaning service

Such a long list appeared in front of Lai Jiayi, instantly made the girl dizzy. Lai Jiayi just glanced at Yaya and whispered,

"Search my rank...did I get into the bottom 5?" The girl hadn't checked her rank at all.

'I don't care about the main job ranking. I only need to know the tournament ranking. Since only the bottom five players will get the punishment!'

Listening to what Lai Jiayi asked him, Yaya gulped. He averted his eyes away from Lai Jiayi. "Your barometer increase is actually fit into top 5, quack." The duck paused.

"B-but since the rank is also arranged based on your main job rank…"

'God, dammit. This ranking system is so unfair to Jia! Jia's main job rank is the lowest. So...she didn't get into the top 5!!'

Yaya didn't speak at all. He couldn't tell Lai Jiayi that the girl failed, just one rank away from the bottom five rankings.

Lai Jiayi glanced at Yaya, and upon seeing the guy didn't speak, she just checked the ranking list by herself.

Rank 6. Lai Jiayi (3%)

….why..? The others above me also have 3%...

Lai Jiayi forgot what Yaya explained before. She just quickly stared at the notes below the tournament ranking list, and once she finished reading it, her eyes dimmed down.

"Ah, that's why...I got rank 6, huh…" the girl weakly spoke.

'My hard work ends up in vain. Just because my main job rank is the lowest.'

Lai Jiayi just couldn't bother with anything anymore. Her heart ached, and she suddenly coughed again.

"Ohok!"

!

"Jia! You okay, quack– "

"...I'm not." Lai Jiayi turned around and buried her face to the pillow. Tears started to wet the surface of the pillow.

The girl's shoulders trembled hard, and she silently cried. She didn't say anything, but Yaya instantly knew that the girl was crying. Her soft, sobbing noise could be heard across the room.

"Jia…" Yaya gulped. The duck floated around Lai Jiayi without knowing what to do.

'This is the second time Jia had cried in front of me. For Jia to cry again this time...she must feel really disappointed.'

Yaya puckered his beak. He slowly approached Lai Jiayi and pressed his back against the girl's back. He turned on his heater again and just sat there, waiting until Lai Jiayi stopped crying.

Lai Jiayi quietly sobbed for 15 minutes or so before her headache worsened. The girl stopped crying and slowly spoke to Yaya,

"...can I..get a headache medicine…" Lai Jiayi wiped her tears with her sweater sleeve. Her voice was hoarse and without her usual cheerfulness.

It just stabbed Yaya's heart.

"Mn. Wait here, quack…" Yaya went downstairs to get the medicine, and Lai Jiayi hurriedly turned around again. Now her face was facing the study desk instead of a plain wall.

'...my head hurts. My throat hurts. I can't smell anything.'

Lai Jiayi closed her eyes and exhaled. Her cheek was still stained with tear traces, but the girl ignored that. She just rubbed her red eyes and sighed.

'I should have known that this game is always unfair.'

Lai Jiayi gripped her white blanket tightly and shifted her position. Now she laid on her back, and her eyes instantly saw the transparent ceiling.

The sky turned orange as the golden sunlight shone through the glass. It was a bright light even though it's winter today.

'...the game somehow wants no one to win Zhao Yang's route. I don't know about the other guys' route, whether they have this kind of bizarre event too or not. But…'

Lai Jiayi inhaled.

'Ugh. Forget it. Since I know that the game is trying to hinder us, the players…'

Lai Jiayi closed her eyes and opened it again. She stared at the golden sky.

'I'll just make sure I can receive every single nonsense they throw my way.'

Lai Jiayi moved her right hand and pinched her nose bridge.

'Okay, stop crying. It's enough. What I need to do now...is to get well soon.'

Lai Jiayi slowly controlled her feelings. Being sick just made her fragile, but now she had calmed down, there's no reason to continue crying in despair.

'My head hurts just by crying, anyway.'

The girl then glanced across the room. She was in a daze for a while before realizing that Yaya didn't come back yet.

'Where is he going?'

Lai Jiayi was just thinking about this when a notification came to her mind.

TING! [Player Lai, ready to receive punishment for the barometer tournament?]

Yes ☑️

Yes ☑️

The system didn't give other options than yes. It was just yes or yes.

Lai Jiayi's lips twitched.

'Fck you.'

Lai Jiayi inhaled deeply and clicked the yes option. The notification instantly disappeared and got replaced with a wheel.

'Embarrassing thing to do.' Was the title of the spin.

One could see around 20 choices on the wheel, and all of them were embarrassing things that some people won't want to do in their life.

Twerking

Mess up your makeup

Show your belly button

Tell others your embarrassing secret

Etc

[Spin and do this in front of your target!]

….damn it. In front of Zhao Yang?!
