Shang Yechu finished all the steamed buns and vegetables. Not only did she drink all the soy milk, she also finished the vegetable soup.

After finishing her meal, Shang Yechu wiped her mouth and put away the bowl and chopsticks. She then took out her inexpensive set of toiletries.

There was a small, cramped restroom in the bookstore. It only had a toilet and a sink. It was fairly clean. After washing her face and brushing her teeth there, Shang Yechu went to the storeroom.

Sure enough, it was the same set of bedding.

Before me was a clean white quilt with blue flowers and a buckwheat hull pillow, the most common type found in rural areas. Both were old and faded from washing. Yet they were very clean and gave off a faint scent of mothballs.

Shang Yechu recognized the bedding set. It was what Grandma Hu and her late husband used to use in the countryside. The patterns were long outdated, and the cotton was old and worn out.

It was this tattered bedding that finally convinced Grandma Hu's stingy daughter-in-law to move it into the bookstore.

Shang Yechu silently unfolded the bedding. The quilt was thick, and the cotton was very sturdy. Although it was old, it must have been a good item back then.

The warehouse was already small, and when it was filled with books, it became even more cramped and narrow. Shang Yechu's bedding was laid out in the warehouse's only aisle, and if he turned over even slightly, he might kick the stacks of books on either side.

It doesn't look like a room at all; it's more like a box.

The only light in the warehouse was dim and yellowish, barely enough to see anything.

Shang Yechu laid out her bedding on the floor. Just when the system thought she was going to sleep, she turned around and went back into the bookstore.

Shang Yechu surveyed the bookshelves, looked around for a while, and then pulled out a copy of the Xinhua Dictionary.

system:"……"

Shang Yechu sat down in Grandma Hu's seat, opened the Xinhua Dictionary, and began reading from the first character.

In her previous life, she wasn't very intelligent and couldn't remember anything she learned. Because of this, after she gained some fame, she was often ridiculed by marketing accounts as a "low-IQ fish".

In this life, although she possessed an IQ comparable to a genius, Shang Yechu knew clearly that she currently lacked the experience and knowledge to match it. This IQ of 138 was merely an empty shell.

She wanted to start learning from the most basic knowledge and gradually enrich her mind.

The system was surprised by Shang Yechu's self-awareness. However, out of humanitarian considerations, it still asked, "Host, aren't you going to sleep now? It's already very late."

The bookstore was brightly lit, but there were very few people on the pedestrian street.

"It's okay, I'm here anyway," Shang Yechu said without looking up.

The system fell silent.

Shang Yechu flipped through the dictionary page by page, becoming increasingly alarmed with each reading.

An IQ of 138 is truly... astonishing.

Every word she read seemed to be firmly stuck to her mind like double-sided tape. She closed her eyes and found that she could remember exactly which page and line those words were on.

This is true photographic memory.

Not only in terms of memory retention, but also in reading speed, he achieved an astonishing ability to read ten lines at a glance. Dictionaries are rather boring. After reading one-fifth of it, Shang Yechu looked up at the clock hanging in the bookstore.

Only an hour and a half had passed.

In other words, she could finish reading the dictionary and even memorize it in less than eight hours.

Shang Yechu was secretly alarmed. After reading for another four hours, it was already one in the morning. Shang Yechu had finished reading most of the dictionary. She felt a splitting headache, and her eyes were sore as if they were filled with vinegar, but she was still reading greedily.

She had never been so happy. She even felt her empty mind being filled little by little, squeezing out all her previous ignorance and stupidity.

She absolutely refused to live the kind of life she had in her previous life. She was determined to acquire knowledge by all means possible.

The system finally couldn't help but speak up: "Host, your health value has dropped to 38, you've gone from being in a sub-healthy state to being extremely weak."

Shang Yechu said in a hoarse voice, "Watch for another hour."

By two in the morning, Shang Yechu's vision was starting to blur. It felt like tiny mosquitoes were buzzing around her. She had to stop her frenzied reading.

Shang Yechu felt extremely hungry, but there was nothing to eat, so he filled a mineral water bottle with water from the store's water dispenser and gulped it down.

Her head felt like it was going to explode, and her heart was pounding. She stumbled back to the warehouse, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and collapsed onto her makeshift bed on the floor.

"Force hibernation," Shang Yechu said to the system. "Wake me up at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

Just as the system was about to activate, Shang Yechu said again, "Wait."

"Is there anything else, host?"

"What is my current weight? I want to redeem it."

System: "52kg. Maximum redeemable weight is 2kg."

"I want to redeem..." Shang Yechu yawned.

System: "Master, your health is extremely low, which may affect the mission. Perhaps—"

"I want to exchange for beauty points. Exchange for 2kg." Shang Yechu interrupted him.
