Acknowledging Ghosts as Mother: He Really Doesn’t Follow the Script

Poor and down on his luck, Chu Hao obtains a Life Choice System: professional service, no return required, and rewards are given upon completion.

He thought his life would finally turn around.

Unexpectedly, the client asking for a child is not human, and the huge reward given by the system for failing to complete it nearly costs him his life.

While fleeing, he sees a woman in red standing on a bridge, and the system gives him options. He shouts, “Mom, save me!”

And so he recognizes a ghost as his mother.

Chu Hao comes to realize: “The higher the system reward, the higher the death rate.”

...

He hides and quietly grinds attributes. After living with his ghost mother for more than half a year, Chu Hao makes a living as an extra on a film set, where he meets a little female ghost playing a dead person.

Little female ghost: “Can you be my older brother?”

Option one: [Kick the girl flying and scold her: ‘Get lost, you’re so ugly, and you think you deserve it?’ Receive a luxurious funeral package.]

Option two: [Ignore the girl and pretend not to hear: receive a hundred bundles of joss money.]

Option three: [Agree to be the girl’s older brother: receive +1 physique]

Helpless, he brings the little female ghost home. Thankfully, his mother is also a ghost, so this round is stable.

...

Also known as: (The little female ghost recognized me as her brother! Stable, because Mom is also a ghost)
