CHAPTER 267: CHAPTER 266 STORAGE SPACE

Han Mingyue came over, but he neither closed the door nor made a sound, simply standing at the doorway, staring intently at Zhen Yu. Clearly, he was waiting for Zhen Yu to take the initiative to state her purpose.

Zhen Yu blinked rapidly and licked her lips, thinking that what she needed to say didn’t require her to be wary of Han Jiayang, so she just spoke up.

"That, uh... I’ve written the script for the literary performance myself, and I,"

"I know." Zhen Yu was interrupted by Han Mingyue before she could finish speaking.

A hint of hopeful expectation unknowingly entered his eyes, "You came to find me just to discuss this?"

Unfortunately, Zhen Yu failed to grasp his underlying meaning and naively replied, "Yes! It wasn’t convenient to talk at school, so,"

"I know." Han Mingyue interrupted Zhen Yu once again, repeating those same four words he had said earlier.

He lowered his gaze to the floor, his voice still gentle, "I haven’t finished my homework yet, so I won’t chat with you for now."

"Ah? Oh!" After a brief moment of confusion, Zhen Yu courteously responded, "Then you better go work on it! I’ll head back to my room."

"Mm." Han Mingyue acknowledged softly with his head lowered.

Though Zhen Yu found his reaction a bit strange, upon further thought, if she were suddenly declined the usual help, she’d probably feel somewhat concerned too, right?

So it was normal for him not to want to deal with her at the moment. Better to just slip away...

---

Back in her room, Zhen Yu was kind of bored.

Then she remembered that she had been busy since the Tomb-Sweeping Festival and the last time she opened the system to allocate ability points was back in March! Naturally, she called up the system interface, curious to see how many ability points she had accumulated in over two months and thinking it was time to allocate some.

What she saw was somewhat disheartening! Although she was aware that being busy with other things meant her studies must have slacked off slightly, Zhen Yu still felt frustrated.

Only 80 points. Without the double-efficiency watch, did efficiency really drop so much?

Unfortunately, her current plan was to raise all her personal data to 80 before anything else.

Wishing didn’t make it so, she could only wait to accumulate more ability points to exchange for items in the future!

After comforting herself, Zhen Yu silently wished, "Add 3 to Logic."

Before the system interface had a chance to refresh, a ’ding’ sound echoed in Zhen Yu’s ear!

[Ding! Total ability points spent have reached five hundred, System Mall has been upgraded, Level 2 access is now available.]

Zhen Yu stared at the four green characters representing ’Storage Space,’ feeling for the first time that the color of forgiveness was actually this beautiful! It was magnificent!

From today on, she was also a person with a space! What an exciting heart, trembling hands! She wanted to laugh loudly towards the sky!

Laughing was fine, but shouting was absolutely not. Zhen Yu was afraid of attracting Mr. Han and Mrs. Han...

Just as she was thinking ’enter the space’ in her mind, the figure on the single bed in the room suddenly disappeared.

White! A vast expanse of white! Without a single speck of any other color, this was Zhen Yu’s first impression after looking around in place.

Then she took a walk inside the space! Only to discover that this was simply a neat square room! Or, you could call it an empty warehouse!!!

"Roughly 80-100 square meters?" Zhen Yu estimated in her mind after measuring with her steps and muttered to herself.

As soon as the words were spoken, feedback suddenly came into her mind, [Level 1 Space, 100 square meters.]

"Hehe! A hundred square meters! That’s quite a lot of stuff it can hold! Truly essential for traveling!" Although Zhen Yu didn’t have much to store here now, she was still very happy.

"Oh right! Is this a soul transfer or a body swap? If it’s a body swap, it’s easy to be discovered... But there are also benefits, like I can come here to hide if I am in danger!"

With that thought in mind, Zhen Yu twisted her own arm to test.

"Hisss!! That really freakin’ hurts!" Zhen Yu’s expression twisted as she sighed with a look of both laughter and tears: "So it’s a body swap! I wonder if anything other than myself can be brought in here alive..."

After babbling excitedly in the Storage Space for a while, Zhen Yu left somewhat reluctantly.

After exiting, she saw the floating system interface and remembered she still had ability points to allocate.

Debating between checking new items in the mall and just adding points for two seconds, Zhen Yu resisted the temptation and chose to allocate points.

"Inference to 80, Analysis also to 80, and then there’s the leftover... Where should I add next?"

"Eh?" Zhen Yu’s eyes wandered across the basic data, suddenly noticing something off!

Why does it seem like the Constitution stat has dropped? She remembered that she had already increased it above the passing mark of 60!

"Add to Constitution!" If it dropped, just add it back!

[Ding! Constitution is damaged, cannot adjust data!]

What the? This is really baffling! How did it get damaged? She hadn’t done anything to court death...

"System! What caused the damage? How can it be restored?"

"System? System? 001? 007? Golden House? Yan Ruyu? Ru Hua? Shiyu?"

Silence.

The system remains that unfeeling system.

Zhen Yu had no idea what to do with this learning system! Her eyes moved to the System Mall section, and with a desperate hope, she browsed around.

As she had guessed! Even after upgrading, the System Mall still only offered items related to studying and exams...

Now it’s great! She had ability points but nowhere to spend them!

In the end, Zhen Yu’s gaze landed on the not-yet-open Trading Platform, uncertain of how many ability points it would take to unlock.

But this was her last hope!

She must study hard! In the future, she must not only cure Han Mingyue’s illness but also address her own ’illness’...

With 39 ability points left unspent, Zhen Yu tried adding to Endurance, no problems there, a smooth 80.

With that being the case, she might as well put the rest into Combat Power!

After spending all her current ability points, Zhen Yu closed the system interface.

For the three basic categories of data, she didn’t want to waste ability points on Appearance! After all, she was still growing!

She had already maxed out the Intelligence category at its current limit! Only Physical Strength still had room for improvement...

Seeing the weather getting warmer, Zhen Yu decided, starting tomorrow, she would go for morning runs!

What if her dedication to exercise moved the heavens, and her mysteriously damaged Constitution miraculously recovered?!
