Chapter 566: I’m Not Going Anywhere

"Mission One: Find out who is poisoning Carl. Reward: 5,000 Good Points."

Another ding! followed immediately.

"Mission Two: Find the cure to the poison. Reward: 15,000 Good Points."

Nnenna froze, her eyes flickering. The first mission made sense, who wouldn’t want to find the culprit? But the cure? Her stomach tightened. Where would she even begin?

"Love System," she pressed quickly, "can’t you just cure him? You’re not even from this world. You came from that man in the garden, so no matter how rare this poison is, it should be nothing to you."

"Yes. For me, it is nothing."

Her heart leapt, then crashed as the system added: "But you don’t have enough Good Points to purchase a cure. The cost is far beyond what you currently hold. So, your options are simple, either race to acquire more points, which I do not advise, or... you find the cure manually."

Nnenna’s fists clenched. "And how am I supposed to do that?"

"Don’t worry. I will tell you where to start. You have just enough Good Points for that information."

"Fine," Nnenna agreed immediately. Her voice was steady, but her chest tightened. "How long do I have?"

"You have one month... before Carl dies."

The system’s words landed like a blade. Nnenna’s body shuddered before she could stop herself.
