After a week of promotion and fermentation, more and more students came to apply for the Zhencheng Card, and the takeout business finally began to receive orders, although there were only a few sporadic ones. On the first Sunday after school started, Zhen Yu pulled her brother along, Gu’s father sent Gu Qing, plus Wang Lin, a total of four people. Each holding a stack of flyers cum Gu Family’s menu printed in advance, they went around distributing them school by school. Zhen Yu was very skillful; when boys showed up, she and Gu Qing would go hand them out, while she let Zhen Yan and Wang Lin take care of the girls. And it worked! Ninety percent of the students chose to take and look over the flyers carefully, with half of them stopping on the spot to ask questions. At the same time, the promotion for "Red Alert" had also started in the Zhen Cheng Game Hall! The same method was employed, with Zhen Yu hand-writing two exclusive posters! One inside, one outside! While promoting the game, they didn’t forget to give Sincere Bookstore another wave of advertisement! "Red Alert! Multiplayer online!" "There’s no game you can play for a lifetime, only brothers you can have for a lifetime!" "The smoke of gunpowder, ready to erupt at any moment! The imperial map, striving for supremacy, to dominate the world!" "Games! Choose this one! This one! This one!" "Are you guys ready? Come and start your journey to global domination!" "Buying books too expensive?" "Reading it only once after buying feels like a waste of money?" "Want to read a lot of books but can’t spend all your money on them?" "Sincere Bookstore! Books are meant to be borrowed, not unread!" "There are none you don’t want to read, only those you can’t finish!" "No computer station? No problem! Rent a book and read! Time, no longer lags!" "Hands always holding a book! You don’t have to worry about waiting anxiously anymore!" Zhen Yu led the three people from morning to evening, only taking a break for lunch. It wasn’t until dusk that she declared it was time to call it a day. Wang Lin went straight back to his school dormitory, while the Zhen siblings and Gu Qing walked home together. "Phew... I’m dead tired! I must have gotten tanner today!" Gu Qing, this beautiful little flower, withered so quickly under Zhen Yu’s leadership within just one day! While complaining, she turned and glanced at Zhen Yu. "Hey? How come you look perfectly fine?!" Indeed, Zhen Yu looked as usual. She had been busy all day, but now she still seemed to be glowing and full of energy! Zhen Yu casually replied, "Exercise more! Want to join me for a morning run?" "Morning run?" Gu Qing said in surprise. "You do morning runs too! I can’t get up that early!" "It’s not about not being able to get up, you just don’t want to," Zhen Yu called her out. Gu Qing blushed, "Ah! Zhen Yu, you’re annoying!" Just then, Zhen Yan suddenly interjected, "Actually, it’s quite nice to go for a run in the morning." Zhen Yu gave her brother a look, keeping quiet. Gu Qing also glanced at Zhen Yan, hesitated, and asked, "What time do you two usually get up to run?" Zhen Yu remained silent. Seeing this, Zhen Yan had to answer, "5:30 a.m." "Isn’t it too early?!" Gu Qing’s newfound confidence collapsed in an instant. "It’s not early!" Zhen Yan suddenly declared with conviction: "A lot of students at First High School start studying at five in the morning!" "Ah?" Gu Qing was surprised, his mouth agape. "I couldn’t adapt at first either, but you’ll get used to it over time," Zhen Yan shared from personal experience. Still hesitant, Gu Qing said, "I’ll think about it some more..." Since Zhen Yu arrived in Qi City, she’s been leading a very fulfilling life every day. It seemed like in the blink of an eye, a month and a half had passed since she last allocated her ability points. Due to the instability of her English data before, Zhen Yu would summon the system interface every now and then to check on it. But she never dared to add more points! She wanted to wait until the English data stabilized before making a decision! Seeing that a week had already gone by since school started, Zhen Yu felt it was time to deal with the accumulated ability points. One evening, lying in bed after Mrs. Zhen turned off the lights, Zhen Yu summoned the system interface. Ever since Zhen Yu hit puberty, in just one summer vacation, her figure data skyrocketed directly from 51 to 61! In fact, she had already switched to wearing a teenage bra. Now, Zhen Yu finally no longer looked like the string bean she used to be, but had begun to develop curves subtly. However, with frequent comparisons to Gu Qing, Mrs. Zhen still felt that her daughter was too thin and her chest too flat! Zhen Yu, on the other hand, was not worried at all. With her experience from her previous life, she knew she was just a late bloomer. So she often consoled her mother, saying, "Early weight gain doesn’t count; it’s the later weight that crushes the bed! Why the hurry..." Not only had her figure data changed, perhaps because she spent all of summer indoors, shielded from the wind and sun, her skin data had also increased by 3 points. And then there was her appearance! Although this data had only increased by 2 points, Zhen Yu knew that her transformation had begun! In her previous life, Zhen Yu always felt that there was a phrase that suitably described her: Girls change drastically at eighteen! Unfortunately, in her last life, becoming good-looking was her heaviest burden. "This life, it seems I’ve started maturing a bit early!" Zhen Yu sighed in her heart. Perhaps, it also had to do with her getting her period early... Together with the remaining 1 point from last time, Zhen Yu had accumulated a total of 52 ability points. After hesitating, she still opened the System Mall. She initially intended to exchange for another double points watch, but impulsively, she checked the Second-level Mall first! Once she looked, she couldn’t pull herself away! The Second-level Mall was filled with so many amazing items that Zhen Yu’s few dozens of ability points were absolutely insufficient! In the four main categories identical to the First-level Mall, each item required at least one hundred ability points to redeem! There was also a new category added—food. The system is selling food?! Zhen Yu clicked on it out of curiosity. Then... she fell into the world of foodies from which she couldn’t extricate herself! Fruits, nuts, snacks, beverages... everything was available! Each type of food came with its own attributes! "This... is this similar to eating food in games to gain buffs? And all kinds of buffs to choose from too!" Zhen Yu muttered to herself. After browsing through the selection and making mental calculations, she felt that eating these foods seemed more cost-effective than the double points watch! [Apple: Consuming this doubles the ability points/knowledge points gained in the next 24 hours, and the doubled points can only be used to exchange for items in the mall! Exchange: 1 ability point for 4 apples.] [Banana: Consuming this increases the speed at which you gain ability points/knowledge points by 1.5 times for the next 24 hours, exchange: 1 ability point for 10 bananas.] Just by eating apples, those 50 ability points could yield 20 more days of doubled time compared to the double points watch! Not to mention if she paired it with bananas to increase the speed of gaining points... Zhen Yu envisioned the tens in her system interface’s ability points turning into hundreds, and hundreds into thousands...
