The whole day had been a blur, and as night fell, Qiu Xi lay in bed, eager to examine her rewards.
She had been itching to see them all day.
“Little Hua, use the Qiongyao Jade Nose.”
“Okay, Qiongyao Jade Nose has been used.”
Before turning off the lights, Qiu Xi took out the small mirror she usually carried with her.
She discovered that after using the Qiongyao Jade Nose, her nose had become even more delicate and prominent.
On this fair, delicate, and ethereal little face, this slightly upturned little nose instantly made her entire face more three-dimensional and exquisite.
It was truly perfect, neither too much nor too little.
After admiring her beauty, Qiu Xi remembered she still had a large sum of money to deal with.
The doubled bonus of 1 million, plus the 100,000 she won, and her previous savings, brought her total to over 1.3 million.
Looking at the money, Qiu Xi felt conflicted. She wanted to buy a car but wasn’t sure how to explain it to her parents later.
Ahhh, having money still caused so much trouble! She couldn't understand it!
“Little Hua, what should I do?”
Unable to figure it out, Qiu Xi could only turn to nag Little Hua.
She couldn't tell anyone else, but surely she could talk to Little Hua? Really.
“Please wait a moment, Little Xi. I need to browse.”
“Alright, alright, go ahead and browse. Just tell me an answer.”
It was a shot in the dark anyway, she had nothing to lose.
At worst, she could just keep it and use it slowly. She didn't believe she wouldn't be able to spend this money.
“Based on your human big data, Little Hua suggests you buy a house or invest.”
“?!”
Buy a house? It wasn't impossible, but her current amount was just a drop in the bucket for someone else. If she had to buy, she'd need to at least break even first.
Invest? She didn't understand that either; she was a complete novice.
Should she learn it now?
It seemed… not impossible?
“Little Hua, can the system arrange a learning course on stocks and funds?”
“Yes.”
Yay! I’m such a little genius, this is amazing!
“Little Hua, I love you!”
“Then please, Host, study diligently and earnestly to maximize system utilization!”
“……” What kind of statement was that? Wasn't she already diligent and earnest enough?!!
“No, Little Hua, tell me, what does it mean to maximize system utilization?”
“……Well…… our system needs a salary to eat, you know?”
“……”
“You should have said so earlier. Would I have mistreated you?” It was true that she only thought of using it when she had a need, but that didn't matter. As long as she spoke fast enough, the blame wouldn't catch up to her.
Hehe, this move is called striking first!
“……” In all her years as a system, Little Hua had never encountered such a brazenly shameless talent.
This time, it was Little Hua versus Little Xi, and Little Xi won by a landslide.
“Alright, I promise to use it whenever I have time from now on! For now, please arrange the course for me, Little Hua~”
Don't mistake her yielding as a complete surrender; her move was called being able to bend and stretch.
“……”
“It has been arranged according to your needs. The course is a bit long, so please hurry and complete the assessments.”
“……” A bit long? This was monstrously long!
But for the sake of money, she would endure it, she would learn!
“Okay, I’ll definitely grind through it whenever I have time, to help you increase your performance too, Little Hua.”
Regardless, it was more important to make money grow money, so she could carry out her grand ambitions.
At the very least, she had to strive to become a landlady.
“Beep! Mission issued. Host, please achieve excellent results in the final exam. Rewards will be based on the final exam scores.”
Qiu Xi, who was still envisioning her future grand ambitions, felt the system’s broadcast voice was a bit of a buzzkill for the first time.
Moreover, it was another empty promise. If she didn't know that the rewards would definitely not be bad, she would have suspected that the system had to search for a long time in the prize pool for rewards and finally give her something passable.
“You’re thinking too much. You’d be better off studying hard with that time!”
“……”
She was magnanimous and wouldn't bicker with this system that earned a shrunken salary.
“……”
