"Since there's nothing I want to do for the time being, let's just focus on doing what's in front of us well," the system casually remarked.
The requirements for her at this stage are not high; she just needs to obey discipline.
"Okay," Gu Luoqi replied casually.
It's okay, she has plenty of time to search.
For the rest of the time, she continued searching for books according to her own criteria, but her movements became more composed and her expression more serious, losing the previous lazy feeling.
She didn't stop until she came across a book specifically about mathematical thinking and logic.
She flipped through a few pages and felt it was pretty good, but she didn't know if it met the system's standards.
Her eyes showed struggle, but after hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke, "System, I've found it."
"You've confirmed it. Once you've confirmed it, you can't change it." The system, being dutiful, still reminded her.
She silently repeated to herself that hesitation leads to defeat, and when she spoke again, her eyes were more determined. "I'm sure."
She didn't have to wait long before she heard the system's voice again: "Submitting task - Retrieving book content. Congratulations, host, the special task has been completed. Task completion rate: 70%. Task completion rating: Good."
Gu Luoxi's eyes betrayed her disappointment. She had tried her best, but the result was still not satisfactory, at least not up to her expectations.
"The host's choice is quite good," the system affirmed professionally.
However, Gu Luoqi didn't believe it at all; she felt that the system was definitely just trying to comfort her.
But that's not the point. Although it wasn't ideal, she had already completed her task. So the question is, what about her reward?
"Where is my reward?" Gu Luoqi asked, voicing her question.
While it's true that one shouldn't be so mercenary, she was genuinely there for the reward.
"You need to buy the books to complete the task," the system reminded you.
"You've already scanned everything, why do you need to spend money?" Gu Luoqi felt a pang of regret and couldn't understand the system's behavior.
"Host, we must pay attention to copyright awareness and protect copyright," the system said righteously.
Although it can retrieve and import book content completely and verbatim, it cannot encourage this trend.
The host's desire to be a freeloader is something it absolutely will not allow to happen.
"Okay." The system's words successfully persuaded Gu Luoqi.
Although she felt a little pained, she thought about it and realized that since she had already spent so much money today, she didn't need to worry about the money spent on the books.
Investing in yourself is a losing proposition no matter how you look at it.
However, after this day, her and Cheng Cheng's planned graduation trip will probably have to be postponed. At least she'll have time to find a part-time job after the college entrance exam to earn some travel expenses.
Cheng Cheng frowned as she watched Gu Luoxi stagger towards her. "Why are you taking so long to buy a book?"
Li Mingya glanced at the time and said casually, "Well, you successfully took almost an hour."
"This is a technical job, so what's wrong with being a little slow?" As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice in her mind.
"Congratulations, host. You have successfully completed the special mission and obtained a medal: 'Eagle Eyes'. The reward for this mission is 500 points. You have achieved the achievement and obtained the medal, and you are rewarded with 500 points."
Gu Luoqi's eyes lit up, and she asked the system excitedly, "Why are there achievements?"
Of course, no medals or achievements matter; what matters is how many points you've earned.
So perhaps what she was asking was how to obtain various medals.
"I can't tell you that, but I can tell you that there are quite a few of these tasks," the system said calmly.
"Okay, okay." Gu Luoqi suddenly became lazy.
After hearing what the system said, she finally understood that it all depended on luck. However, since it depended on luck, she was no longer anxious.
She opened her personal homepage, intending to check her points to console herself for her poverty, but unexpectedly, there was another item added to her profile.
The wall, called the "Wall of Merit," displays the medals she had just received. They are shiny and shaped like an eye.
On a whim, she poked it and discovered that it could blink.
She exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, that's amazing!"
But then he heard the system's mocking voice: "Ignorant."
Gu Luoqi: "..." Thank you, I feel insulted.
But she'd never seen it before, so what's wrong with taking a look?
"You bastard, can we go now?" Cheng Cheng said impatiently when she saw him staring blankly.
The weather was already quite hot, and after walking around for so long, she was exhausted, hot, and sleepy.
If you give her a bed now, she might just sleep on the spot.
Her only desire right now is to lie on the sofa, eat watermelon, and watch TV.
"Okay, okay, it's nothing." Gu Luoqi felt the coolness from Cheng Cheng and nodded quickly.
She was afraid that if she caused any more trouble, Xiao Chengzi would kill her.
An hour later, she returned home safely.
Today's whole process was relatively pleasant, provided that we ignore Cheng Cheng's constant grumbling and complaining.
Even a shopping enthusiast like Cheng Cheng couldn't withstand Gu Luoxi's antics.
She only calmed down after Gu Luoxi agreed to make her some snacks.
Back home, Gu Luoqi collapsed onto her carpet, looking half-dead.
She picked up the iced cola and took a big gulp, feeling as if her soul, which had left her body, had returned.
"Why doesn't Yaya drink Coke?" Is there really anyone in the world who can resist the temptation of Coke?
It's obvious that Li Mingya really is that kind of person.
“I don’t really like carbonated drinks,” she said softly. Actually, to be precise, she doesn’t like drinking beverages at all.
Gu Luoqi picked up her drink and feigned sadness, "Never mind, you wouldn't understand." Then she took another sip.
"I'm exhausted, I need to rest for a bit." She lay there for a long time, still feeling weak and listless.
But when she saw that Li Mingya showed no signs of fatigue, she asked, "Yaya, aren't you tired?"
My goodness, this girl who usually looks so delicate and weak is actually so amazing.
Li Mingya smiled faintly, "Actually, it's not that bad. I told you guys to exercise more often, but you just wouldn't listen."
Today's exercise was only moderate for her; her usual five kilometers of running are not for nothing.
"Then I'll go running with you from now on. I feel like I'm going to ruin myself if I keep going like this." Gu Luoqi finally came to her senses.
"You mean what you say, right?" Li Mingya clearly didn't trust her.
Doesn't she know how lazy and good-for-nothing this guy usually is? Last time we said we'd go together, but he only ran a few laps and he looked half dead. The only time he ever actually ran five kilometers was probably the first time.
"Mmm." Gu Luoqi nodded softly.
She wasn't really interested in exercising; the only thing she was interested in was the points the system gave her after she exercised.
However, it's all the same; she has to go herself.
