Chapter 43: Ten Consecutive Draws

The Beauty System paused for a moment, and soon a scene appeared before Tan You. Aircraft shuttled freely through the sky, warriors fought on the battlefield piloting mechas, and starships that blotted out the sun performed reckless jumps between planets.

Furthermore, the various high-end laboratories, medical pods, and other facilities left Tan You feeling dazzled.

"Is this a high-level mission world?" Staring at the cold, gleaming mecha, Tan You's eyes were filled with longing. "I really want one."

The Beauty System said helplessly, "Host, you really don't act like a girl."

"Who says girls have to love beauty? What is that? It looks so majestic!" Tan You retorted casually, her eyes fixed intently on the mecha.

"That is a mecha," the Beauty System paused. "High-level mission worlds have very high difficulty. There is a knowledge barrier of thousands of years between them and the host's world; it's not something easily broken."

Tan You's eyes sparkled. "It doesn't matter. That's what makes the toys fun. Its brilliance is worthy of such high difficulty."

"By the way, do they really have that magical eye drop there?" Tan You didn't forget to confirm. If such a thing truly existed, she would have to make a trip to a high-level mission world no matter what.

"Of course. The System is not lying." The Beauty System puffed out its small chest, clearly displeased that Tan You doubted it.

"Moreover, the System needs energy points to upgrade. Right now, I am only a junior system. Once I upgrade to a mid-level system, I will be able to unlock mid-level missions." The Beauty System even slipped in some personal agenda, implying that it hoped Tan You would hurry up and do the gacha draws.

Tan You pondered for a moment. "At what level can high-level missions be unlocked?"

"At least a high-level system." The Beauty System suddenly became excited. If the host wasn't such a slacker, could it upgrade to a high-level system quickly?

When that time came, it would see which of those systems in the forums dared to call it a "newbie" or a "useless brat" again!

Tan You: "How many energy points do you need to reach mid-level?"

The Beauty System immediately spilled the beans: "The System needs one hundred energy points to become a mid-level system, and five hundred energy points to become a high-level system."

Seeing Tan You remain silent, the Beauty System immediately explained, "The rewards for mid-level missions are much more generous than those for junior missions. I've heard from other systems that some hosts can help a system upgrade after just a few missions."

Tan You narrowed her eyes. "A few missions? I'm just an ordinary person. Do you think I can sweep through everything like others do?"

"But according to what you said, it seems I have plenty of time. There's no rush to do missions slowly." Tan You was actually quite easygoing. Even though she had been dealt a bad hand and had such a family atmosphere, she had still grown up well—at least, she hadn't turned out wrong.

The Beauty System drooled looking at the 11 available energy points in Tan You's account. "Host, draw! Do the gacha!"

Tan You was in no hurry. "Let me check my status bar first."

Soon, the status bar updated.

Appearance: 85 (Perfect bone structure, skin like ice and jade) Mental Power: 52 Intelligence: 60 Constitution: 40 Charisma: 20

The above values are on a scale of 100; the System reserves the right of final interpretation.

Seeing the appearance column, Tan You felt a bit stifled. Even if it had been added to her constitution, that would have been better. Unfortunately, this little system was truly useless for anything other than extracting beauty points.

Instead of relying on the little system, she might as well rely on her own hard work. Diligent exercise should be able to raise her constitution, right?

Thinking this, Tan You didn't intentionally tease the little system. "Let's do a ten-pull."

"Arranging it immediately!" The Beauty System instantly cheered up, and a large spinning wheel soon appeared before Tan You. The moment Tan You's finger tapped, her available energy points instantly dropped from 11 to 3.

"Wait a minute. In the future, you'll be the one spending the energy points, and everything I earn will be mine. So I should still have 7 points left." Tan You raised an eyebrow. "Forget it, it's not enough for a ten-pull anyway. I'll save it for the next draw."

The Beauty System set off little fireworks in front of Tan You. "Host, the System will be waiting for your draws..."

While the person and the system were chatting aimlessly, the prizes for the ten-pull finally appeared. Seeing that familiar golden light, Tan You had already become indifferent. "I've never been this lucky before, have I? It turns out my luck is only good with you? I hit the jackpot twice in a row during draws?"

The Beauty System: "The free draws rewarded by the Main System generally yield good items, and drawing more indeed makes it easier to encounter miracles."

Tan You couldn't muster any interest. "So what did I get this time? A 'can eat without getting fat' reward would have been nice, but unfortunately, you don't have that."

The Beauty System secretly noted this skill, intending to arrange it the next time the prize pool refreshed.

"Host, you won 'Eyes Like Autumn Waters,' and you have also accumulated ten additional beauty points. You did not win any intelligence points this time. Are you happy, Host?"

Tan You was expressionless. "What's there to be happy about? 'Eyes Like Autumn Waters' only works if people can actually see your eyes. With such thick lenses in the way, who's going to see them?"

"Spending 8 energy points to get this much back... what a huge loss."

The Beauty System didn't care about Tan You's resentment. "Host, when are you going to do a mission? We can continue drawing after you come back from a mission?"

Tan You lost big, but the system gained big—it had snatched up nearly half! Once it saved enough energy points, it could buy itself a skin! Looking at the pitifully small amount of energy points in Tan You's account, the Beauty System thought with great ambition.

Tan You: "Even oxen need to rest. I only just got back this morning; you have to let me rest for a few days."

After the high-intensity learning in the mission worlds, Tan You rarely had the chance to relax. Now that she was back, she wanted to unwind properly.

"I still have to study; I'm busy." After traveling through mission worlds, Tan You had long understood the importance of learning. Furthermore, her poor performance in the middle school entrance exams was a knot in her heart; since high school, she had wanted to remain excellent.

Having been rebuffed by Tan You, the Beauty System wasn't angry, but instead hid to one side, happily counting its energy points. As for exactly how many energy points it had, Tan You wasn't sure, but she knew this little thing must have earned quite a lot from her.

Back in the real world, Tan You lost interest in novels and TV dramas. After all, during the life with Han Tingting, she had seen far too much through osmosis. Coupled with the rise of short videos later on, her horizons had undoubtedly broadened.

Current television programs indeed failed to attract her. As for novels, Tan You had no money to rent books. After all, when Cheng Wenhui went to C City this time, she hadn't given her a single cent of pocket money.

Now, Tan You could settle her mind to study. No matter how hot it was outside, she could still quietly hunch over her desk doing exercises. Having been this way for several consecutive days, even Tan Deming couldn't help but be surprised.
