"Today's Daily Task 1: Water the Tyrant's vegetable garden. Reward: 50 points."
"Task 2: Help the tyrant mend his worn-out clothes. Reward: 80 points."
"Mission 3: Help the Tyrant find his lost jade pendant. Reward: 100 points."
“…”
When Wen Liyu heard 100 points, she became very excited. "Where is the jade pendant for mission three?!"
The system's mechanical voice was cold, "Beep... The host needs to find the quest item by himself."
"Just give me a hint! Just a little bit will do!" Wen Liyu rolled around in the water in a naughty manner.
"Beep...Host, please don't act like a spoiled brat." The system's voice was emotionless, dry and cold.
Wen Liyu stopped rolling around and started to bribe him, "Give me a hint and I'll give you 20 points!"
The system paused, and then Lion said, "...50 points."
"No! I'm the one looking for them, and you just provided a location." Wen Liyu retorted loudly, "Only 20 points!"
"At least 30 points. If I don't tell you, you'll never find it." The system had never experienced this kind of human bargaining, so it took the initiative to state its bottom line price.
"Then I might as well ask Chu Shaoyao!" Wen Liyu shook her head and refused. "I'll use water to draw the shape of a jade pendant. He's so smart, he'll definitely be able to guess it!"
"The tyrant has a violent personality and doesn't trust anyone. He won't tell you." The system retorted, "From what I understand, you can't read the writing of this dynasty, and you're still a carp."
"If you really show any abnormality, you will definitely be made into fish soup by the tyrant. There is no way you can ask where the jade pendant is!" said the system firmly.
Wen Liyu was silent for a moment, "...But wasn't it your mistake that turned me into a carp?"
She angrily slapped the water with her tail, "THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM!!!"
"Well... the plot of this world was just interrupted by you. I will now send you the content of the novel again." After the system finished speaking, it immediately threw a piece of data into her head.
Wen Liyu choked on her doubts and complaints, and closed her eyes to absorb the plot of the novel.
This system doesn't seem very reliable!
She skimmed over the section she had just read and read through the rest of the story, only memorizing the general plot and settings of the novel.
Every ruler of the Dalu Kingdom had very few offspring. Chu Shaoyao was the first son the emperor had when he was 28 years old, and he was also the eldest prince born to the previous queen.
He attracted much attention since he was born, and his name also contained the emperor's expectations and favor.
Shao represents beauty; Yao means sunrise, as bright as the sun, illuminating the world.
Chu Shaoyao was one and a half years old and still could not speak. The emperor, who was immersed in the dream of having a legitimate son, finally woke up.
It took two years to gather all the doctors in the country to the imperial capital, but no one could cure the noble prince's muteness.
Chu Shaoyao's mother, the queen, died of heart disease and rapid weight loss.
Then, Concubine Xian gave birth to the second prince, and the emperor's attention shifted from Chu Shaoyao to his second son, Chu Shaohua.
Without a mother and the emperor's favor, Chu Shaoyao was thrown into a remote corner and struggled to survive at the age of four.
Relying on the connections left by his mother, he spent ten years finding a cure for his muteness and successfully cured himself.
The villain of this book, the second prince Chu Shaohua, framed the tyrant when he was 16 years old, causing the tyrant to be sent by the emperor to guard the imperial tomb for life.
The tyrant turned evil because of this incident. In just three years, he gathered a large number of subordinates, captured the imperial city, and seized the throne.
Chu Shaohua, who was driven away by the tyrant, spent decades inciting a large group of people to rebel in the name of fighting the tyrant and avenging the late emperor.
In the final scene, the tyrant killed them all and then committed suicide in the burning palace.
Wen Liyu finished reading all the plots, shook her head, and commented, "This kind of plot is so common!"
The system seemed speechless by her words and did not respond.
"System, please give me something first." Wen Liyu suddenly said, "Give me credit first. Give me 50 points, just enough to open the points mall and let me see what I can buy."
"Host, please don't talk in your sleep." The system vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"You should be a novice system. I came to this world and turned into a fish. It's not easy for me to complete the mission. It's obviously your dereliction of duty, but you still want me to complete the mission in order to have a human body. Do you think it's reasonable?!" Wen Liyu started to talk nonsense and fooled the system.
"Why don't you give me some compensation quickly? Otherwise, I'll report you for being unprofessional and damaging the host's interests... I still remember your employee number! 470, right? And..."
The system was silent for a moment, "I can't send you anything directly."
Wen Liyu stopped talking nonsense and asked repeatedly, "So there is another way? Tell me quickly!"
"I can give you some simple daily tasks." The system paused, "But it'll cost 55 points, because I'm also taking risks with this kind of thing."
Wen Liyu was easy to talk to, and was happy to get as much as she could out of it. "Okay, 55 is 55."
"Ding, Daily Task 1: Bounce 5 times in place, reward points 10."
"Task 2: Perform the waterweed dance for five minutes, reward: 10 points."
“…”
The system issued 8 simple physical tasks in a row. Wen Liyu worked hard and almost rolled her eyes due to exhaustion before she completed them all and earned 50 points with great effort.
The points store then opened, and the system popped up the store page. Wen Liyu only had 150 points, so she had to be very frugal.
She first found a pill that could turn her into a human. One hour cost 10 points, and two hours cost 20 points...
The best deals are the full-day and half-day pills, which only cost 100 points and 50 points.
However, Wen Liyu is more concerned about the male protagonist's health. She turns to the page of treatment pills and finds that pills for treating fever and colds cost 50 points.
She looked at the pills that lasted for one day, and reluctantly bought only the pills that lasted for half a day and the pills for treatment, which cost her 100 points in total.
The points were reduced by two-thirds in an instant, and Wen Liyu gasped in pain.
After buying things, she quietly surfaced and saw that the cool guy was still resting on the bed. She jumped out of the bucket and stood on the table with her fish tail.
The tail separated into the shape of a "人" (human), standing steadily. Wen Liyu opened her mouth in shock, "The fish tail has increased its power and can be used like this?"
She leaned over to glance in the direction of the male protagonist, and quietly asked the system to take out the transformation pill. She took it in one bite and swallowed it.
