System: “Yes.”
Yu Zizhen:!!!
Don’t ask, you will regret it if you ask.
This little baby-voiced system agreed so readily, it must be because she asked for too little!
Like every unlucky guy who tried to bargain but ended up getting taken advantage of by the other party, Yu Zizhen now regretted it so much that he just wanted to scratch the wall.
The little bit of shamelessness she had as a human being made her feel embarrassed to go back on her word. She said weakly, "Okay then. I'll take this mission."
The system was afraid that she would go back on her word, so it immediately started the process without saying anything.
First, the task is issued and waits for the host's confirmation. Then the plot is sent for the host to understand the story background. Finally, the various functions of the system itself are introduced...
In the system space, the virtual man representing the system itself kept tapping away at a virtual screen, so busy that his little fingers were almost on fire.
After finally completing all the necessary procedures, the baby-voiced system breathed a sigh of relief and then remembered that it still owed Yu Zizhen a thousand points and ten draws.
Keep tapping with your little finger, and one thousand points will be credited to your account in one second.
Then, the system's serious, baby-like voice echoed in Yu Zizhen's mind again, "Host, do you wish to draw the lottery immediately?"
Yu Zizhen rubbed his hands impatiently, "Yes."
The system asked again: "How many times does the host plan to draw the lottery?"
"Ten times."
The system beeped ten times in succession. With each beep, a prize that made Yu Zizhen unable to control his frown would appear in the system warehouse of only one cubic meter.
By the time he had finished smoking ten times, Yu Zizhen's face had become so black that it was unbearable to look at.
Look, look at this damn system, what kind of rubbish did it give her!
Where were the skills and points she'd been promised? Why had she only drawn soup dumplings, noodles with gravy, purple potato pancakes, egg custard, red date, white fungus, and lotus seed soup, wound medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, and three books of unknown content?
Yu Zizhen's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Feeling guilty, the baby-voiced system quickly spoke, "Congratulations, host! The host has won a total of 5 kinds of food, 2 medicines, 2 medical books, and 1 martial arts secret manual in this lottery, with a total value of approximately 6,000 points."
"Huh?" Yu Zizhen, who had already thought of turning over the table and quitting, had his anger temporarily suppressed by the "martial arts secrets" and "six thousand points".
The baby-voiced system, which was almost forced to part ways with its new host, was afraid that Yu Zizhen would not believe it, so it quickly called up the system mall and showed Yu Zizhen the mall prices of these ten products.
Yu Zizhen took a quick glance and immediately saw the ridiculously high "exchange points" below the medicines, medical books and martial arts secrets on the virtual screen.
Advanced Wound Medicine 888 points/bottle
Roxithromycin tablets 1688 points/box
Huangdi Neijing 600 points/book
Shennong's Herbal Classic: 600 points/book
Qinggong Body Skills 1888 points/book
Yu Zizhen: ...My goodness, after all the bargaining, the 1,000 points she got couldn’t even buy two medical books.
"You are blatantly running a black shop?" Yu Zizhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone sounded calm, but inside he contained raging anger and hidden threats.
The system's voice couldn't help but tremble slightly. "Host, you've misunderstood. The prices of common items in our mall, as well as the precious items that exist in your world, are directly priced according to the price level of this world. As for some of the prizes you won, they are expensive because they are both precious and not already available in this world."
Who understands, my family, it's so miserable to have a thorny host who may overturn the table and quit at any time, wuwuwu...
Yu Zizhen raised her eyebrows slightly. If that was the case, then she could understand it.
After personally checking the quantity of the five kinds of food in the warehouse and taking a rough look at the redemption points for other items in the system mall, Yu Zizhen finally showed mercy and let go of the crying little baby-voiced system.
She closed her eyes and began to digest the original plot of "Legend of Princess Wuwei" and the introduction to the "Cannon Fodder Self-Rescue System" function that her system had stuffed into her.

"The prince hasn't woken up yet?"
The deliberately lowered voice of the girl reached her ears. Yu Zizhen first yawned in a simulated manner, and then slowly opened her eyes to meet the worried gaze on her face.
"It's Cuiyu, have I slept for a long time?"
Yu Zizhen's voice was hoarse and her face was pale. When she spoke, one could clearly tell that she was short of breath and felt weak.
But even so, Cui Yu still couldn't control her tears.
Her lips trembled as she nodded vigorously, "Wow, you've been in great trouble this time."
Before she could say anything more, another head popped in from behind the screen.
Like Cui Yu, she was also a pretty girl who was only in her early ten years old.
The girl was dressed like Cui Yu, a second-class maid. The moment Yu Zizhen saw her round face, the system's baby voice quietly rang out in his mind, "Cui Ping, one of the host's second-class maids, and also the eldest daughter of the host's wet nurse."
Yu Zizhen said quietly in her heart, this is the treacherous maid who, together with her mother, caused the little original owner to catch a cold and have a high fever.
She was about to say something when Cuiping quickly retracted her head to the other side of the screen. "Cui Yu, you take care of the prince. I'll go tell my mother and the princess!"
"Hey——" Cui Yu was unable to call her and could only continue busying herself.
She first poured a glass of water for Yu Zizhen, but found it was cold. Without bothering to complain about Cuiping's inattention to duty, she hurriedly took the teapot and went to find the maids guarding outside, instructing them to boil water immediately.
By the way, she also instructed one of the maids to go to the big kitchen to get food for Yu Zizhen.
After doing all this, Cui Yu was about to go into the house to accompany Yu Zizhen, when Yu Zizhen's wet nurse, Mother Liu, hurried over.
"Princess!" Mama Liu wiped her eyes twice with a handkerchief, pushed Cui Yu aside, and rushed to Yu Zizhen. "You scared me to death. If anything happened to you, how would I live?"
Yu Zizhen ignored Mother Liu. She waved to Cuiyu and said, "Help me up."
Cui Yu walked around Mother Liu and quickly placed two cushions against the wall. Then she reached out to help Yu Zizhen up and let her sit there leaning against the cushions and covered with a quilt.
Yu Zizhen's cold attitude made Mother Liu feel a little guilty. She half-closed her eyes and kept telling herself in her heart, "It's okay. We did this very secretly. The princess won't know. Even if she has doubts, she won't be able to find evidence. As long as I..."
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Yu Zizhen's hoarse and childish voice, which was a little cold, "Are you thinking that even if I suspect that you and Cuiping deliberately harmed me, I can't find any evidence?"
