Chapter 49 Bizarre Things

Work is tough, everyone sighs!

"Bang!" The sound of fireworks exploding echoed in the system. All ten beads exploded at once. This was followed by a system announcement.

Congratulations Shi Shi, you've won a magical shoelace!

"What are all these things?!" None of them seem serious.

"Use your mind to click on those items. One click is the instruction manual, and two clicks are to indicate whether to use them."

Shi Shi tried it on the most curious Hungry Dream Lotus, and sure enough, an explanation appeared!

Hungry Dream Lotus: No worries about losing weight! Do you get hungry more easily when you're dieting?

Are you someone who's both craving and annoyed?

Is it you who can't sleep because you're hungry?

Hungry Dream Lotus will make you dream of all the foods you want to eat!

Feeling full and satisfied in your dreams~ Each lotus seed can keep your sweet dreams for up to a month~

This product was specially developed for those who are on a weight loss journey!

What the heck!

Shi Shi had dieted before; she didn't have such a good figure before transmigrating. Her tendency to gain weight easily caused her a lot of suffering. Imagine if you were on a diet and dreamed every night of feasting, only to wake up and find it was all a dream, and your stomach was growling...

Who wouldn't have a mental breakdown?

She won't use this thing, but it's good for swindling people later!

Then she looked at other things, and apart from the Lucky Elixir, which could increase one's luck in low-probability events, everything else was outrageous.

You get what you pay for!

The items in the mall are just too expensive! For example, the "Inspiration" pen allows her to write with effortless ease, helping her to unleash her inspiration. Plus, the pen is invisible and can be directly attached to her right hand. She can use it with just a flick of her thumb. It has no expiration date; it can last until she dies.

The prices were also quite high, reaching nine figures! She noticed a pattern: anything related to skills was expensive. For example, earplugs that could translate all languages, chef's hats for cooking, and gloves essential for racing gods all cost nine figures. Meanwhile, height-increasing insoles, delicate noses and mouths, fragrant breath, and slender waists were relatively cheaper.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Beauty is a valuable asset, but this statement has a premise. In social situations, if you have an outstanding appearance, you're more likely to gain favor and help build initial trust and friendship. If you're not good-looking, expressing your opinions at work might be seen as being pretentious. Beautiful women, on the other hand, often receive responses like "attentive" and "thoughtful." After all, in the midst of a busy workday, who can resist a beautiful face to soothe their tired eyes?

More important than beauty are talent and wisdom. Talent and wisdom not only help individuals succeed in the workplace and in life, but also make them more confident and charming in their interactions with others.

Beauty can be replaced, but talent and wisdom are irreplaceable. Having figured this out, she stopped complaining about the high prices. A thought struck her, and she said to Binglu, "Remember to let me know when the mall has a sale!"

Binglu was confused: "What discount? The system shop never offers discounts."

Shi Shi feigned surprise and said to it, "Are you guys that stupid? If you never hold any promotions, won't all the goods just pile up? How many can you redeem in a year!"

"It's not calculated by year; each task participant can probably redeem about 20 different kinds in their lifetime!"

There are so many great items in the store, yet you've only redeemed so little!

Binglu was also confused. Was it really that little?

"It's rare! You guys could organize a promotion! For example, you could bundle 'Flowing Thoughts' with 'Slender Fingers,' the former costing over 19 million and the latter 3,999,999, so you could redeem it for 21,999,000. Although it reduces the 'faith points,' you can win by sheer volume! After all, who would want something as impractical as pretty fingers? Right?"

The system nodded. Their parallel world was alright; they only needed to replenish their musical faith power. They had exchanged life-saving elixirs for the apocalyptic world and the ghost world.

"You can also implement purchase limits, for example, for some top-selling products, you can only buy them after spending a certain amount of 'faith points'! You can combine orders! For example, spend 300 and get 50 off, spend 200 and get 30 off. You can also get 9.5% off the first item, 8.8% off the second item, and 25% off the third item. Doesn't that sound tempting? Don't you want to buy it?!"

Binglu nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes!"

The more Shi Shi talked, the more tempted she became. She felt like she had missed out on a fortune.

"You're so clever! I'll discuss it with everyone right away."

"Binglu, Binglu?" She called out twice more, only to find that the system was indeed gone. The system had just said it wanted to discuss something with everyone. This "everyone" certainly wasn't the "God of Music" it mentioned. What if there were other systems? Then there must be other mission takers, just like her, and these other systems said they would only change about 20 different types in their lifetime.

Are all those chosen people never able to return to their original world?

Whether she wants to go back is her choice, but not being able to is another matter. Whenever her feelings for her family and friends waver, those miraculous things make her doubt the reality of this world.

Ugh, this is so disjointed! I feel like I'm starting to get a brain.

Of all the skills, the Car God Gloves are the cheapest, which is making her feel really bad. Only spending money can cheer her up.

"Ding!" The God of Cars Gloves have been successfully redeemed!

Your current account balance is: 842 Faith Points

I've spent it all, hehe.

After changing her clothes at home, Shi Shi went to Club 98. It was almost out of Kyoto, and the largest racing club in the area. No one assumed that a beautiful woman like Shi Shi would come there on her own. A waitress approached and asked, "Hello, beautiful lady, are you looking for someone?"

"No, I'm here by myself. Do you have a car?"

Shi Shi's car is the very ladylike type; it can't handle the roads here.

The waitress was quite surprised, after all, Shi Shi's appearance wasn't wild at all, but rather a bit demure. She seemed out of place here. However, her professionalism was undeniable, and she immediately took Shi Shi to choose a car.

"Fu Zhixiao, isn't that your sister-in-law?"

The teenager's voice was going through puberty, and his words were particularly piercing to Fu Zhixiao's ears. Neither of them was old enough to drive; they had come with Fu Yuzhou to broaden their horizons.

Fu Zhixiao's relationship with his brother was just so-so. He only met his sister-in-law at their wedding. If Fu Yuzhou hadn't seen that family photo at home, he wouldn't have known that they were once a family.

His parents had absolutely no idea when his brother and sister-in-law divorced. Now he can't even go up to them to say hello. How is he supposed to bring it up?

Which one? Am I your former brother-in-law whom you don't know very well?

Sensing Fu Zhixiao's silence, Fu Yuzhou quickly said to him, "My brother booked the venue, it's about to start, let's hurry over!"
