Chapter two
Zhao Tian woke up the next morning with a slight headache and a very bright notification floating in his head.
**Vitality System Update**
- Vitality: 72 (+10 from last night)
- Wealth: $5,000
- Status: Average Husband, System Approved
He blinked. "So… that actually worked?"
Lin Yue walked past him with a cup of tea, smiling knowingly. "Feeling more… energetic?"
Zhao Tian groaned. "You know the system… it counts last night as a mission. I actually gained… vitality points?"
Lin Yue laughed. "I told you it might be fun. And look at that, $5,000 richer. Not bad for a quiet life."
Before Zhao Tian could even respond, a new notification pinged:
---
**Mission 2**
Task: Convince three strangers in the neighborhood to sing a silly song with you.
Reward: $3,000 cash, +5 Vitality
Optional Bonus: Make at least one stranger laugh uncontrollably for +$1,000
Time Limit: 12 hours
---
Zhao Tian stared at the floating text. "Wait… what? Sing a silly song? In public?"
"Looks like your first public task," Lin Yue said, smirking. "Do you want me to come along or leave you to embarrass yourself?"
Zhao Tian gulped. "You're coming, right?"
"Of course. Someone has to make sure this turns into comedy gold."
By noon, Zhao Tian and Lin Yue were on the streets, awkwardly trying to get strangers to sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in harmony with them.
The reactions were… mixed. Some people laughed, some stared blankly, and one old man chased them with a broom shouting about respect for children's songs.
Despite the chaos, Zhao Tian completed the mission. His vitality points rose again.
**Vitality Update:** 77 (+5)
**Wealth:** $8,000 (+$3,000)
Lin Yue slapped him on the shoulder. "Congratulations. You survived the first public embarrassment."
Zhao Tian looked at her. "And I still feel… energized. This system is… insane. And hilarious."
The system pinged one more time:
**Reminder: Optional Bonus Reward Available. Do you want to attempt it?**
Zhao Tian sighed, glanced at his wife, and nodded. "Let's go for it. What's the worst that could happen?"
Lin Yue grinned. "Famous last words."
And so, Zhao Tian's second mission began — proving that wealth, vitality, and chaos could come hand-in-hand, especially when your wife was your comedic sidekick.
