Lin Jin has always been an optimistic person, able to comfort and adjust himself no matter what happens, and the next day he would still be cheerful. However, ever since he was forced to participate in the Goddess Cultivation, he felt like he was on the verge of depression.

After quickly taking a shower, Lin Jin climbed onto the bed wearing loose clothes and then took out his phone to complete the task that the black cat had left for him to pass the time.

"Sis, are you there?" Lin Jin also sent an adorable emoji along with the message.

He was initially thinking that if the task target, RuiQiu, happened to be busy, then he wouldn't be able to complete the task. But right after he sent the message, he received a response from RuiQiu, his senior sister.

"I'm here. Is there something you need?"

Of course, there is something. I have a task to chat with you.

Lin Jin couldn't reply to his senior sister, RuiQiu, like that. He racked his brain for a while and finally came up with a topic. "Sis, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Yes, I do." For some reason, in those simple words, Lin Jin could sense RuiQiu's cold and distant expression.

He pursed his lips, feeling a bit frustrated. He was never a talkative person, and his conversations with his roommates usually revolved around games and playful teasing. How was he supposed to know how to chat with a girl he wasn't very familiar with?

Due to Lin Jin's mistake in his previous comment, the subsequent conversation lacked substance. Lin Jin racked his brain and came up with a few questions, such as asking if she had dinner, what she did today, and who her boyfriend was.

However, after asking those questions, he realized that it was already close to 8 PM. Most people had already had their dinner unless they were too poor to afford a meal or had evening classes. As for the last two questions, they were even more foolish.

"I have a boyfriend, and he treats me well. I have something else to attend to, so I won't chat anymore."

Lin Jin felt like crying but had no tears. He didn't know if those few lines of conversation could be considered as completing the task.

Fortunately, his phone vibrated, and after the words "Task completed" there was a sentence from the black cat.

"You're hopeless, even a mud wall can't support you. Are you really someone who wants to become a goddess? Your social skills are so poor! Your flirting skills are so lousy! How are you going to attract men in the future!"

After completing the task, the reward was directly granted, unlike those rewards related to physical transformation that had to wait until nighttime.

Opening the inventory, Lin Jin immediately saw the Memory Bread in it. This bread was even worse than the previous reward. At least last time he received a whole slice, but this time it was only half...

"Getting more stingy..." Lin Jin knew that his task completion was not great, so he didn't complain much. He was just thinking that if all the future temporary tasks were just bread rewards, he might have a chance to pass his final English exam. Of course, the condition was that Wu Min would help Lin Jin get attendance points in every class this semester. Typically, missing five classes would result in being marked for a makeup exam.

"Oh, by the way, Lin Jin" Wen Xuan suddenly remembered something. Lying on the bed and playing with his phone, he looked up and shouted to Lin Jin, "You said you wanted to watch ‘Kong' a few days ago, but you still haven't watched it."

"Nah, I lost interest suddenly" Lin Jin waved his hand, lacking enthusiasm.

"Tsk, as expected from a woman, always changing your mind" Wen Xuan scoffed.

Normally, such a joke would make Lin Jin feel embarrassed in front of girls, and there happened to be Chen Shiqi in the dormitory right now. However, Lin Jin didn't pay much attention to it. He just wearily pressed his cheek against the pillow, feeling like he was becoming more and more of a failure.

When did it happen? Even Wen Xuan is starting to tease me?

Lin Jin felt that he should find an opportunity to establish his authority instead of gradually becoming the dorm's main target for jokes..

But the problem now is not that. It's... when will he learn makeup and use the money earned from part-time jobs to buy a set of women's clothing and seduce men?

Just thinking about this issue gave him a headache.

These past couple of days, he has been busy with part-time food delivery and testing his physical changes. His mind was filled with other things, almost forgetting the most important thing to him at present.

Lin Jin felt that the path of learning makeup through watching videos had already been cut off. After spending an entire afternoon making himself look like a ghost, self-learning was no longer an option. This left him with two remaining paths.

One path was to find a specialized class that teaches makeup. However, Lin Jin was very poor, so this idea was immediately rejected as soon as it entered his mind. The other path was to find a friend who knows how to do makeup and learn from them.

Originally, he had very few female friends. Since coming to university, he had barely interacted with girls. The only one he had a decent relationship with was Chen Yibing, a "bro" from high school, but she was currently studying in Fuzhou. As for other girls, there was RuiQiu, a senior sister whom he just met, but Lin Jin had just cut off that possibility.

I should have been more cautious with my words.

Lin Jin pursed his lips and continued to ponder other methods. However, no matter how much he thought, he couldn't find another path to learn makeup.

Evenings at school were generally boring. In the past, Lin Jin liked to play Dota with Wu Min and Lin Xin from the neighboring dorm in the evenings. But now, he had no time to play games. Instead, he connected his phone to the Wi-Fi and searched for tutorial videos on simple makeup techniques.

Perhaps Lin Jin himself had a strong aversion to makeup, so those videos didn't prove to be very useful for him. He didn't pay much attention to the peculiar makeup products in the videos. He didn't even have the intention to search on Baidu for their purposes. The black cat was also blocking his view and rambling with nonsense, even though it had just said something about wanting to sleep.

So, the black cat is not a program? Or is it not a system? Then why does it have a sleeping setting?

Lin Jin had never heard of a novel where a system sleeps, or where a system is so unhelpful to the host... He had never heard of a system with a mouth so wicked, issuing tasks based on its mood, and even giving out lackluster rewards.

Were systems not instantly available at the host's beck and call? And are particularly obedient to the host's requests and can even transform into a girl to sleep with the host?

"This must be a fake system for sure."

While muttering to himself, Lin Jin watched the video, but every few seconds, he would lose focus and glance at the black cat's actions and the dialogue bubble. As a result, after half the night had passed, he hadn't remembered any of the makeup techniques from the video.

"I must have encountered a fake host" the black cat retorted, raising its head. "You're the most foolish host I've ever seen."

Lin Jin didn't want to argue, but suddenly a thought flashed in his mind. Excitedly grabbing his phone, he asked the black cat, "Are you saying there were other unlucky fools like me before?"

"Yeah!" The black cat had a look of self-assuredness, but after a moment, it realized and shouted at Lin Jin, "What do you mean unlucky fool? It's a visit from the Goddess of Fortune, okay!"

"Tsk." Lin Jin shook his head, locked his phone screen, and laid flat on the bed, muttering, "A visit from the Goddess of Fortune? I feel like I've caught the attention of the Goddess of Misfortune instead."
