Gu Luoqi felt a little nervous at this situation, as if they were engaged in some kind of illegal transaction.
And they don't accept returns within seven days without reason, bad review!
Of course, she didn't dare to continue bargaining with the system. After confirming that there were no unfair terms or conditions, she clicked to confirm the purchase.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully purchased the product "Classical Chinese Crash Course 1/2". Please confirm whether you wish to view the product.]
However, Gu Luoqi's attention was not on the system's notification sound at all, but on the rushing sound of points being deducted.
She felt extremely uncomfortable. She returned to her personal profile and saw the empty points section, which broke her heart.
"Don't you plan to check the books you bought?" the system asked, slightly puzzled. Wasn't this guy just now in a panic, wanting to look at books?
"Wait a minute... I might have some aftereffects..." Gu Luoqi said weakly.
"What?" The system looked completely bewildered. What was this guy babbling on about?
"I might have developed a points-based system addiction syndrome," Gu Luoqi said righteously.
System: "..." What a load of rubbish.
After calming herself down, Gu Luoqi decided to take a look at the book she had just bought at a high price.
A large poster suddenly popped up when I opened the page. The colors and layout were very bright and eye-catching, and there were some strange words on it.
The most eye-catching thing is the row of red text in the middle – You've been selected! Congratulations on being a lucky winner! The original price of the item is now only 480! For just 480, bring your favorite item home!
Gu Luoqi was completely baffled by this thing. "What the hell is this?"
"This is a push notification for other products. You can choose to turn off ad push notifications, but you might miss out on many discounted items," the system explained casually.
Gu Luoqi: !!!
Are modern shopping mall systems this user-friendly? They even push ads, though this approach is a bit outdated.
But why did she feel like she was being brainwashed, and even a little tempted?
"Is this really a special offer?" Gu Luoqi's eyes sparkled. It's probably a common trait among girls; no matter what it is or whether they need it, they'll waver if it's said to be on sale.
This seems to be something etched into our genes.
"That's right, host, you should pay attention, because based on your current spending power, you might really need to look out for discounted items." The system gave her very sincere advice.
Gu Luoqi: "..." Not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
She's a person of principle; she wasn't provoked by this. "Then turn off the ads for me." She didn't need them.
Of course, most importantly, let alone 480, she doesn't even have 4.8, not a single penny.
"Sure, but you need to become a member. The membership fee is 500, and it's valid for life. If you become a member now, you'll also get three free recording sessions..." the system rattled off a bunch of things.
"Stop, stop, stop reading." Gu Luoqi interrupted it directly. What the heck is it that turning off ads requires a membership, and the membership fee is more expensive than buying the product?
When people become poor, they become much more humble. Take Gu Luoqi, for example. She clicked on the eye-catching advertisement, intending to see what kind of things were being sold.
It was only later that I realized it was a video course, and a math one at that.
Learn math from scratch
She felt she really needed it, but she didn't have any points.
"System, please..." Tears of poverty welled up in her eyes.
"No credit allowed." The system is impartial.
"But I love learning." She knew that the system liked good children who loved learning the most.
"It's no use studying now, and I don't own the system's marketplace." The system's tone remained unchanged, completely unaffected by Gu Luoqi.
Gu, looking utterly pitiful, asked Luo Xi, "Really, can't I buy on credit?"
"No." The system replied decisively.
"Okay." Gu Luoqi knew the system might be telling the truth, and she was just a little frustrated. She then logged out and prepared to study the book she had just bought.
When she opened the catalog, she found it to be much more detailed than the previous cookbook; indeed, paying for it made it more upscale.
She carefully read through the catalog and found that the categories were quite detailed, making it easy for even complete beginners to get started.
Classical Chinese word classes, analysis of common word class usages, translation of common words, differences between ancient and modern meanings... and various other categories she had never seen before.
The various classifications alone are much more detailed than those in other reference books.
Looking at it this way, Gu Luoqi instantly felt like she was back to her old self.
She took out a notebook and started taking notes while looking at the information.
Upon seeing a familiar concept, she suddenly remembered that she had learned it once before at home and written it down in another notebook. So she stood up to look for it, but couldn't find it.
She remembered that she hadn't found it when she looked in the classroom last time; she had thought it was in the dormitory.
Could it be that you forgot it at home?
Thinking about it, she vaguely remembered that it was somewhere in the corner of the bookshelf, and she had forgotten to bring it.
She was a little worried, but then she remembered that Qi Sheng had gone home, so she could ask him to help take care of things, provided that he was willing.
She immediately messaged him, "Are you home now?" and sent him a smiley face emoji.
Qi Sheng didn't reply to her right away, so she continued studying until the study time was over.
She put down her pen, pinched her brow, stretched, and slowly stood up.
She felt completely drained after just two hours of studying.
It was then that she realized someone was missing from the dormitory. "Where's Li Mingya?" Perhaps she was too focused, because she didn't even know Li Mingya had gone out.
Just then, Li Mingya opened the door with a slight smile on her face. "I went out and bought you some water." She had just realized that the water dispenser in the dormitory was out of water when she got thirsty, so she went out to buy a bottle.
"Thank you." Gu Luoqi quickly accepted it.
"By the way, I'm planning to go for a morning run tomorrow, do you want to come?" Li Mingya asked. He didn't have much time to exercise during the week, so the weekend was a good opportunity.
Gu Luoqi hesitated. It was the weekend, a perfect day to sleep in, and given the system's nature, it would definitely make her study. Thinking about it that way, she probably wouldn't have time.
"If the host wants to exercise, the study tasks tomorrow morning can be reduced a bit," the system suddenly said.
It's not the kind of system that over-exploits the host; it balances work and rest, and manages both aspects well.
Gu Luoqi's mood improved instantly upon hearing this. "Then I'll go exercise." She clearly preferred sports to studying.
“I’m going too. Wake me up tomorrow morning,” she said to Li Mingya with a smile.
Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, Li Mingya readily agreed, "Okay, I won't forget." There aren't many people who are willing to take time to exercise even with such heavy academic workloads.
She felt a growing appreciation for Gu Luoqi.
Sometimes misunderstandings arise from this.
