Chapter 127 The Unexpected Mission



"Why is it so easy to choose clothes for Qi Sheng?" Gu Luoqi couldn't understand it.

She always spends a lot of time choosing her own clothes.

Is it because she's a girl?

"Have you thought about the configuration issues?" the system interjected quietly.

"What configuration?" Gu Luoqi asked with a hint of doubt.

"For example, appearance or something," the system blurted out.

Gu Luoqi: Am I ugly? Should I leave?

"Get out." Her voice was a mixture of resentment and anger.

Let's reject appearance anxiety, okay?

Sometimes you need to be confident. Your appearance doesn't need to be defined by others, let alone judged.

Those who stand on a high vantage point, looking down on others and judging them by their own distorted standards, are more or less mentally ill.

Of course, she knew the system didn't mean that, otherwise she would have cursed it to death.

After they finished shopping, they prepared to go back. Gu Luoqi breathed a sigh of relief; she was almost exhausted by the end of the day.

"Ding—" Her heart skipped a beat when she heard that.

She looked up and found herself in front of a large bookstore, a perfect trigger point for a mission, possibly a random one.

She was used to it; there hadn't been any random missions lately, so hearing that familiar notification sound actually made her a little excited.

Of course, this is entirely because random tasks are accompanied by high point rewards.

"Congratulations, host, for triggering a special mission—find a supplementary learning material nearby. The program will then evaluate and score the learning material selected by the host, and the final score will determine the host's reward value."

"Host has one hour to make your selection. Please prepare. The countdown begins now—"

The result was somewhat unexpected for Gu Luoqi; it wasn't a random task.

But... this bookstore isn't the only place nearby that's related to studying. So her goal was relatively clear.

Thinking this, she stopped and said to Li Mingya and the others, "Let's go into the bookstore and take a look. I suddenly remembered that I should buy a reference book."

Cheng Cheng frowned slightly. This wasn't something she suddenly remembered; it was clearly just a whim.

However, this guy has recently become very motivated and hardworking, which is commendable.

“Then let’s go take a look,” Li Mingya said softly.

"If you're too tired, you can rest over there for a bit. I'll choose for myself." Gu Luoqi noticed that the bookstore had a place for everyone to read books.

“Okay.” The two replied without hesitation.

Today was truly exhausting.

"Host, you should actually let them help you choose..." the system finally spoke up.

"It's just choosing a reference book, it'll be done in a minute." Gu Luoqi was quite confident about this.

She felt that she could pick any book without much trouble, because in her opinion, these reference books were all pretty much the same.

The only thing she might need to consider is the price, since she's practically penniless right now. She wasn't exactly well-off to begin with, and buying clothes for Qi Sheng only made things worse.

"Host, sometimes you don't need to be so confident." The system's tone was both serious and joking.

It sensed two strange and contradictory personality traits in Gu Luoqi.

A coexistence of inferiority and arrogance.

Actually, it had always had this feeling, but it didn't draw a conclusion because its analysis needed to be supported by strong data. And just these past few days, it had completed another personality analysis of her.

But this is clearly a contradiction!

It now finally understands why its data tells it that humans are contradictory beings.

I finally understand why its program requires a comprehensive analysis of the host every month.

"If I don't even have this much confidence, then how inferior must I be?" Gu Luoqi said confidently, which could be described as quite arrogant.

"Then good luck." The system stopped talking when it saw that she wouldn't listen to advice.

Anyway, it won't be the one that runs into obstacles.

Gu Luoqi slowly walked through an area filled with college entrance examination materials.

She knew, of course, that the system's tests wouldn't be so easy, but the insights she'd gained from the books in the system's marketplace these past few days taught her what characteristics an excellent reference book should possess.

First, it must be appropriate for her learning pace at this stage; second, it should be easy to understand and able to pique her interest.

Based on this, she put down the book in her hand; this one was not quite suitable.

She remembered that when the system first taught her how to learn, it emphasized the importance of a book's table of contents.

The table of contents is a comprehensive summary of the contents of a book.

After watching for a while, she seemed to have a little bit of an idea, but it also felt a bit confusing.

"You don't need to limit your focus to the college entrance exam area; what suits you best is the best." Seeing that she still had no clue, the system couldn't help but give her a hint.

"Then go to the high school entrance exam area?" Gu Luoqi seemed to realize this belatedly.

System: The host seems to be... well, hopeless.

Although Gu Luoqi seemed unreliable, she still listened to it and left the area.

But then another problem arises: if there's no longer such a purposeful division, what is she looking for?

She should at least be selective about the subjects; she couldn't just pick any subject.

For example, postpartum care for sows. Just as she thought of this, she actually saw a book about it in front of her.

Out of curiosity, she flipped through a few pages, and well, she found them quite interesting.

What about "Basic Qualities for Buddhist Studies Majors"?

After reading it, she felt that she had learned a lot of strange and interesting facts.

"Host, if you're really interested in these things, you can look at them later. I remember that the current college entrance examination system allows students to choose their preferred major after the exam," the system said calmly.

However, after it finished speaking, it realized that it seemed to have let something slip, such as the word "now".

However, Gu Luoqi was engrossed in reading at the moment and didn't have much energy to scrutinize the words, but she still understood the general meaning of the system.

"Then let's forget about it." She said this, but there was clearly reluctance in her eyes.

System: It can never grasp the host's preferences.

Perhaps it's because it's too young.

"You have thirty minutes left." But it still keeps its time announcements without fail.

"Holy crap, so fast!?" Gu Luoqi's voice was inevitably filled with shock.

She remembered that she had only been inside for a few minutes.

System: Hehe, it took ten minutes to read "Postpartum Care of Sows" and another ten minutes to read "Basic Qualities of Buddhist Studies".

After hurriedly putting down the book she was interested in, she rushed to other sections.

She doesn't really need English study materials right now, and the science subjects don't seem too urgent, so let's find a math book.

So she hurriedly started searching again.

That's her bad habit: when she has plenty of time, she's leisurely, but when she's pressed for time, she's in a rush.
