CHAPTER 493: CHAPTER 492: IN PERIL YOURSELF!

After returning to the dormitory, Zhen Yu found Han Mingyue’s reaction more and more amusing!

So, the smile on her face grew wider until she couldn’t suppress it anymore!

She had no choice but to quickly wash up and get into bed, pulling the curtains tight, and escaped into her system space to laugh out loud!

"Haha... his face turned red... haha... he’s so obedient! He actually agreed! Haha..."

[Do you find him that funny?]

"?" Zhen Yu first froze, then retorted angrily: "Damn it! Little Liu, you’re invading my home!"

[What the hell is Little Liu!]

"If you don’t allow me to call you Xiao Liu Zi, then I might as well drop a character, right?"

[Then you can call me Xiao Liu! Don’t call me Liu Zi!]

Liu Zi sounds like a dog’s name! The host is really too much!

"Tsk! How did you get into my space?!"

[I am the system, naturally omnipresent!]

Zhen Yu inwardly rolled her eyes, her tone less than polite: "Why did you suddenly pop out?!"

[The full moon is approaching, and the points you borrowed should be returned.]

Hearing it talk like Huang Shiren coming to collect a debt, Zhen Yu couldn’t help but want to retort!

"I’ll pay you back! You act as if I could prevent you from taking it without my consent!"

[Taking without notice is theft!]

"What about entering without notice? Would you believe that I’ll build a house in the space tomorrow and install a burglar-proof door?!"

[...]

Why did it have to be bound with a host who knows how to be so annoying!? It’s infuriating!!

Seeing that she finally won an argument, Zhen Yu hummed happily twice and summoned the data display screen.

The overall data changes don’t seem significant, but localized changes are not to be underestimated!

Ever since Zhen Yu realized her own strengths and established her primary development goals, she adjusted the proportion of time spent practicing in her space every morning and evening!

It used to be a fifty-fifty split between guqin and calligraphy, but now it’s a twenty-eighty split!

As a result, the progress in calligraphy was indeed immediate! It’s only been nearly a month since the start of school, and it’s almost breaking through to Beginner level!

"Calligraphy just so happens to be stuck at the edge of leveling up, tsk! Seems like I can’t add points without leveling it up myself! But I can still add points to other areas! After all, having many talents doesn’t weigh you down!"

Zhen Yu was talking to herself when she suddenly felt an itch in her throat and couldn’t help but let out a light cough!

"Ahem!"

After coughing, she remembered, "Eh? Seems like my throat’s been feeling much better lately! Probably that voice-changing period that Sister He mentioned has already ended for me!"

She naturally looked at her Voice attribute! But to her surprise, it was only at 65!

"I’m really not cut out to be a pop star, am I!" After Zhen Yu softly mocked herself, she stared at the white wall of her space and shouted, "Xiao Liu! Boost my Voice to 75 first!"

With a "swish!" the figures on the display immediately changed.

Seeing that all the Appearance-related values were now at 75, Zhen Yu muttered, "That looks neater now..."

——

"Oops, I forgot! I have to record a song later! Tsk! Hope the change isn’t too dramatic..."

"Next... Ugh... I feel like there’s less and less time lately! One month since school started and I’ve barely had any time for self-study in foreign languages! Let’s just rely on adding points to boost it a bit... Boost Korean to 40! Boost Japanese to 20!"

"Swish! Swish!"

"Sigh! Might as well add to everything that can be added to! Boost Cooking Skill to 60!"

"Swish!"

"Self-defense technique isn’t increasing! Computer isn’t moving! Writing isn’t responding! Why is leveling up so hard!"

[Persistence is key! Keep at it!]

Zhen Yu shot back, "Shut it! Did I ask you?!"

[...]

Should I say MMP or not? It wants to switch hosts, darn it!

"Boost Vocals to 40! Guqin to 20!"

"Swish! Swish!"

There were no longer any attributes left to add points to, so Zhen Yu looked over the data from top to bottom again and found that only the Appearance category could each get an additional 5 points.

"So the only thing left is Appearance... Should I add points or not?!"

Zhen Yu was very conflicted.

[Why not add?]

"What do you, a non-human, understand! The nail that sticks out gets hammered down; I just want to quietly read and study!"

[But you added points to Voice?]

"There’s no problem with Voice! That doesn’t attract attention, plus I’m not a chatterbox."

[School broadcast room.]

"Ah! Oh no..." Zhen Yu slapped her thigh and screamed. "You’re such a know-it-all after the fact! Can I take back the points I added?!"

[Clearly, you cannot!]

Zhen Yu hissed three words through her clenched teeth!

"Dammit!"

[I am a non-human! It’s impossible for me to have a ’dammit’!]

"Get lost!"

[...]

Heh! One point for me!

——

Zhen Yu was very annoyed, but had no way to deal with the suicidal system! Since it was she herself who actively asked to add points to Voice, in the end she could only accept her bad luck!

Frustrated, she flipped the page and, looking at the remaining Points, planned to exchange them for some useful food.

"Open the System Mall!"

After several past incidents, Zhen Yu also realized! The items introduced by 6781 were always better than the ones she found herself in the Mall! With the principle of making good use of everything available, Zhen Yu called out!

"6781! Time to greet a customer!"

[...What do you want to exchange for?!]

How excessive! It always puts on a serious front when talking to humans, but behind their backs, it’s always teasing them!

So flirty! Do all your buddies know?!

"What options are there that can increase Memory? I need something that ordinary people can consume too!"

[Walnuts will do the trick!]

"Then,"

[A mud idol can hardly cross the river itself, let alone help others!]

"What do you mean?" Zhen Yu straightened up and put on a serious face!

Although 6781 always tricks her with trivial matters, it’s never vague about serious things!

[Your Intelligence-related attributes have only just reached 80! Are you not going to add more?]

Zhen Yu asked confusedly, "Going over 80 makes it 10:1, right? Why should I waste Points to add to it?!"

[Didn’t you understand what He Baihe explained to you?! 80 is just the level of an elite.]
