As of raw chapter 3800]

Tai Shu 太叔

Appearance

  • Gold, thin frame glasses
  • Black coat
  • Black shoes

About

  • First appeared as the school doctor in Arc 1: Campus Cultivation Crisis.
  • Reappeared in Arc 4: Looking for the Last BOSS, Arc 19: Fourth Prince’s Backyard, Arc 26: Who’s the Murderer and Arc 45: Chaotic World and got more screen time out of missions after MC became a stronger tasker.
  • Weapons: black gun, black sword
  • Clean freak.
  • Does dissections.
  • Executioner/judge of District A.
  • Embodies the Law (Rule?) of Destruction.
  • Duties include:
    1. Obliterating or punishing rule breakers (especially if they have yet to build a world and are not very useful to the organisation/their death won’t affect the big picture much)
    2. Gluing broken planes
    3. Supervising planes when they evolve in case any problems arise
  • Has a faction most likely consisting of higher ups.
  • Born along with the Sea of Laws and absorbs energy from it for survival.
  • His form is his physical body and not his soul so he can’t enter other bodies in planes the way taskers do.
  • Fainted twice in MC’s presence due to having what remains of Zheng Qing in his body.

Fun Fact

  • The name Tai Shu (太叔) is just a stroke off from what MC calls him at first (Uncle/大叔)

——————

Zheng Qing 正卿

Appearance

  • Long hair

About

  • The former system 2333, the number is Chinese slang for laughter. So it’s kind of a humiliating/embarrassing title. MC’s very first system.
  • Appears in Arc 84: Mermaid after separating from MC.
  • Sees humans etc. as ants. He feels neither love nor responsibility for them. Why should he sacrifice himself for them?
  • Tai Shu’s ‘brother’ of sorts; they were born along with the Sea of Laws.
  • Carried a World (universe?) in his body but it was destroyed by Tai Shu, according to him.
  • Law of Void

——————

Dan Qing 丹青

  • First appeared in chapter 3253. MC’s new system after her return to the organisation.
  • All systems (with the exception of Zheng Qing) get their memories formatted before they become a system so he has no memories of his past either.
  • Will get punished along with MC if she breaks rules.
  • More helpful than Zheng Qing when he was 2333.
  • Systems reside in a separate space from the tasker within the tasker’s system space. They can see the tasker but the tasker can’t see them. Things like temperature changes on the tasker’s side can affect the space on the system’s side.
  • Went without his own name but gave himself one afterwards. MC thought it was the homonym Dan Qing 蛋清 (egg white) until he clarified it

Fun Fact

  • 丹青 is the archaic term for ‘painting(s)’ because reds (丹) and blues/greens (青) were often used in paintings during that era.

  • His military rank rises throughout the story.
  • He has a large amount of purple-coloured Luck Aura* and it was too much for his mortal body hence its break down. But his high Luck Aura benefited the soldier life after his death.

*It’s a common term in Chinese QT novels. My understanding from QT novels is that a higher amount of Luck Aura gives you a better lot in life and makes life smoother. Different people have different amounts of Luck Aura, Some novels also use a difference in colour instead of amount to highlight the quality. Ordinary humans usually can’t see their own or others’ Luck Aura.
