Zhen Yu first exchanged enough walnuts for her brother to last until September 1st, the start of Senior High School, planning to tutor him properly in English and composition over the summer vacation! Of course, composition must be taught by Han Mingyue! Then, she exchanged apples and bananas for herself to last until the same day as her brother, just because it’s easier to remember! After that, there were only a pathetic 3 ability points left in the mall. Zhen Yu gritted her teeth looking at the nearly hundred ability points, reverted the System Mall back to level one and opened the medicine category. Although she didn’t talk to Bai Xue on the phone as regularly as she did with Han Mingyue, it was still fairly frequent. Perhaps due to the pressure of eighth grade, or influenced by her peers (even including Fu Yu) all striving for Qi City No.1 High School, Bai Xue indeed didn’t hate studying as much after Zhen Yu left. However, her foundation was too weak; even if she shamelessly sought advice from her classmates like Han Mingyue, her grades were still far from ideal. Her problems couldn’t be solved by just eating a walnut or two, and Zhen Yu was too far away in Qi City to be of help! So, Zhen Yu had long thought of a solution for her, which was to have Bai Xue shamelessly ask the teachers to help spot questions! To spot a few questions that teachers considered certain to be on the exam! The reason was ready-made too! It was all riding on this! The teachers, for the sake of a student like Bai Xue, who had little hope to begin with, would not only not disagree but would be more likely to take it seriously. And then... it was time for the medicinal pills prepared by Zhen Yu for Bai Xue to come into play! Zhen Yu didn’t just want to prepare a Lucky Fish Spirit Pill for her, but also another pill that covered a wider breadth of knowledge. Because Bai Xue’s foundation was nowhere near as good as Zhen Yan’s, one pill would probably only be enough to get her into Second High School... Just as Zhen Yu turned to the Lucky Fish Spirit Pill and was about to say ’exchange’, the system suddenly spoke up! It spoke up!! In the middle of the night, it was utterly shock inducing!! It wasn’t the usual "ding" notification sound, but it suddenly spoke ’human’ language! Zhen Yu jumped in fright! Then, belatedly, she remembered—this system could talk! Since the last incident until now, Zhen Yu really hadn’t needed to ask the system for help! Gradually, she had put the fact that ’the system had spoken’ to the back of her mind! Even opening the system interface today, she hadn’t remembered to greet it! Since her rebirth, she had always explored and used it by herself! By now, she had grown accustomed to it... "You called? What’s up?" Zhen Yu asked softly in the darkness. Zhen Yu asked with a confused expression, "Are you talking about me? Where did I waste?" "Heh, as if I have a temper!" Zhen Yu felt like slapping the system! But helpless since it had no physical form, she coldly asked, "What do you mean? Just speak clearly if there’s something!" Zhen Yu instantly got annoyed! "Speak if you want to! Drop it if you don’t! Stop playing this game with me! I want to exchange for a pill!" As it turned out, what’s feared is persistence! When Zhen Yu wanted to exchange for the Lucky Pill the second time, the system suddenly provided her with information! [...Second-level Mall! Insight Pill!] Almost immediately, Zhen Yu found the item according to the system’s instructions! [Insight Pill, as the name implies! Any already memorized Knowledge Points can be actively applied during the valid period! Knowing the how, you will know the why! Exchange: 100 Points! Validity: Three days.] "...Thank you!" At a glance, Zhen Yu knew this was the second type of pill she was looking for! So, even though it cost her dearly, she went ahead and exchanged for it. But this meant that not only were the Mall Points used up, even the ability points were nearly depleted... After the exchange, Zhen Yu curiously asked, "Why didn’t you speak out before, and why did you suddenly jump out to stop me today?" It just can’t say that it doesn’t want to see the host continue to be stupid because it’s already been exposed, right?! Having observed coldly for so long, how could it not know the side effects of the Lucky Pill use last time!? Frustratingly! The host knows yet still wants to use it! Does she really have such a short memory?! Or does she not fear exposing it at all?! Even if she’s not afraid, it still is... "Fine! Do whatever makes you happy!" Zhen Yu said indifferently. Anyway, even if it didn’t talk, she had been using it quite well before. "I’m going to sleep." It’s being too kind-hearted! Might as well go all out and give a helping hand to the very end! "Anything else?" Since the System had just given her some advice, Zhen Yu’s attitude was much stronger than before, and even her tone was considerably warmer. [Second-level Mall! One replaces ten!] "What’s that? I’m out of Points..." Although she said this, Zhen Yu couldn’t resist and still clicked to open the Second-level Mall to check carefully, finally finding the item under the tools category. [One replaces ten! Timer! From the moment you press it, every Knowledge Point you earn will be converted into ability points at ten times the amount! Exchange: 300 Points! Valid for: one month!] "I only earn 45 Points a month now, with this it’ll be 450..." Without realizing, Zhen Yu spoke out her inner calculations, then suddenly sat upright with an "Ah!" "Trash System! Why didn’t you say that earlier?!! I want a refund!" To her anger, the System only responded with two words to Zhen Yu! "Little System, that’s too much! Are you intentionally scamming me, right?!" Good that you know! That’ll teach you to mess with me! Hmph! I’m already being nice by telling you! Who knows when you would have found out on your own! "System! Speak up! System?" The response Zhen Yu got was silence. Great! It’s ignoring her again! Why is He Baihe’s System a chatterbox, but her System is a miser with words? This definitely doesn’t match her personality! Probably... it’s mutated itself! Zhen Yu silently griped for a while before falling asleep with regret. She had such a night of sleep! In Zhen Yu’s dream, countless timers were ticking away next to her ear, annoying her so much that she woke up before dawn. From the moment she opened her eyes until she went out for a run, Zhen Yu kept pondering one question. That seemed to be that she was tricked by the System last night! Her ability points were spent, but the Lucky Fish Spirit Pill she initially wanted to exchange was never obtained in the end! So the question arises... why did that deceitful Trash System have to stop her from getting a little pill? To achieve such a goal, it even threw out the ’one replaces ten’ to tempt her and shift her attention! Until she finished breakfast and sat at her seat, Zhen Yu still couldn’t figure out this question, but she didn’t have time to think anymore! Because another new question was laid in front of her!
