Chapter 28 The Break Room: Left Foot Steps Right Foot, Failure
[Your completion rate in this program's instance is 100%. Your reward multiplier is 10x, and you have received a total of 1000 Sweet Coins!]
[Detected that your affection level with the male guest "Paper Doll Tailor" has reached 100%, and his spiritual power coefficient is 14. You have received an additional 14 Sweet Coins as a reward!]
[Detection indicates your favorability with male guest "White Bone Scholar" has reached 100%, and his spiritual power coefficient is 89. You have received an additional 89 Sweet Coins as a reward!]
Settlement complete. We look forward to your next appearance!
Yu Naixin: "...???"
To be honest, Yu Naixin didn't quite understand this settlement.
What is the "degree of cleansing"? She knows that the literal meaning of "cleansing" is to wash or cleanse, but what exactly she does will affect this "degree of cleansing"?
The reward amplification coefficient has been revealed, but what about the original base reward? Although we can deduce from the numerical values that the base reward should be 100 Sweet Coins, this number seems to have appeared out of thin air. What is the basis for it?
There were also extra rewards for the Paper Doll Boy and the White Bone Scholar. If she remembered correctly, the system had said "extra generous rewards," right? The two of them only had a little over a hundred Sweet Coins in front of her—where was the "generous" part?!
There was just too much to complain about, and Yu Naixin was speechless for a moment.
After experiencing an entire episode, Yu Naixin clearly understood that "Heartbeat 1000%" was not a program that disregarded logic and randomly provided information in a haphazard manner.
On the contrary, its intelligence is systematically distributed in various places with strict division of authority.
So Yu Naixin is really strange. Where did these suddenly appearing terms and concepts come from?
Actually, this wasn't the first time Yu Naixin had felt this way. Back when she first entered the Cocoon Village instance, Yu Naixin discovered that all three male guests assumed she knew about her sacrificial identity, but the problem was that she had no idea!
Initially, these terms and conditions were not included in the explanation provided by the "Heartbeat 1000%" program team. Yu Naixin was certain of this. Even if she didn't have time to read every word clearly, with her short-term memory ability, she wouldn't have missed such important information.
These anomalies combined made Yu Naixin really suspicious that the "Heartbeat 1000%" program team had made a serious oversight and forgotten some things that should have been told to her from the beginning.
Yu Naixin carefully checked the entire screen again and regretfully found that she could not find the complaint function or the negative review button.
This production team is trash.
In addition to the 1,103 Sweet Coins that the system ultimately settled, Yu Naixin's account also had a total of 2,731 Sweet Coins, all of which came from audience tips during the live broadcast of the show.
Even Yu Naixin herself was stunned by this number.
She knew that after becoming the Mountain God in the Cocoon Village instance, she received an extremely dense and large amount of rewards in a very short period of time, but she really didn't expect that the total amount would be so much!
Before becoming the Mountain God, she had only earned a few hundred Sweet Coins from all her live streams. Even with what she spent in the store, it was still far less than a thousand. Yet, in just a short while, viewers donated nearly two thousand five hundred yuan to her?!
Looking at the final account balance of 3834, Yu Naixin truly felt what it meant to become rich overnight.
Awesome!
Now that she was so rich, Yu Naixin immediately opened the system store to see if she could unlock any new permissions.
[The female guest's account balance has been detected to be greater than or equal to 3000 Sweet Coins, unlocking Level 4 access to the in-game store. The "Heartbeat 1000%" production team wishes you a happy shopping experience!]
[Special Reminder: Level 4 is the highest level in the store and cannot be upgraded further.]
It turns out the mall only has four levels, but the entry threshold of 3,000 Sweet Coins is quite strict. If it weren't for the Mountain God incident, Yu Naixin doesn't know how long she would have had to save up.
Yu Naixin is really looking forward to the new products.
However, Yu Naixin soon saw that reaching the highest level of the mall only added three items.
[(Nourishing Essence Medicine - Beginner): Can slightly restore spiritual energy. Price: 60 Sweet Coins. Limited to 1 purchase per guest per day.]
[(Healing Medicine - Intermediate): Effectively treats all internal and external injuries and viral infections, including injuries caused by supernatural factors. Price: 600 Sweet Coins. Limited to one purchase per guest per day.]
[(Nourishing Essence Medicine - Intermediate): Greatly restores spiritual energy. Price: 150 Sweet Coins. Limited to one purchase per guest per day.]
Yu Naixin's gaze lingered.
Although at first glance it might seem like "that's all?", these three new products are actually quite valuable, directly solving the problem of restoring health and mana for the show's guests.
So now the question is, does she have spiritual power? If she doesn't, she can't use this Qi-nourishing medicine. So how exactly does she obtain spiritual power?
Yu Naixin really wants to call the "Heartbeat 1000%" program team to complain, "Give me back all the information you owe me!"
However, this time, it really wasn't the production team's fault.
Yu Naixin finally discovered a new subpage in the lower left corner of the system store.
[Female guest has completed the tutorial episode. The special shop is now open. The "Heartbeat 1000%" production team wishes you a happy shopping experience!]
Inside the special shop were all the items that Yu Naixin had wanted for a long time.
[Fire Talisman: Can unleash a fire attack with a power coefficient of 10. Price: 100 Sweet Coins.]
[(Teleportation Scroll): Consumes 3 Spirit Power coefficients, instantly teleporting the user to any location within a 10-meter radius of their original coordinates. Price: 180 Sweet Coins.]
[(Golden Bell Shield): Can withstand damage equal to 30 units of spirit power. Price: 280 Sweet Coins.]
[(Slime Wand): Consumes 5 Spirit Power to summon a slime with 15 Spirit Power, which completely obeys the bound user's commands. Price: 350 Sweet Coins.]
[...]
Yu Naixin's eyes lit up.
So all these treasures were here!
It encompasses various types from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, and is dazzling in its variety. Apart from being expensive, it has no other drawbacks.
However, looking at the entire special shop, the two most eye-catching items are the two items.
[Spirit Awakening Pill: Activates the user's spirit power coefficient by 10 upon consumption. Price: 1500 Sweet Coins.]
[(Scapegoat Straw Doll): Can protect the bound user from one fatal attack. Price: 1000 Sweet Coins.]
Without any hesitation, Yu Naixin bought the Spirit Awakening Pill the moment she saw it.
The Spirit Awakening Pill looked unremarkable; it was just a small, brownish-black pill about the size of a little finger. Yu Naixin smelled it and noticed a very light fragrance. She couldn't quite place the scent, but it made her feel relaxed and comfortable.
The pill melted instantly in her mouth, and Yu Naixin felt a subtle warmth spreading from her stomach to her limbs.
Just as the White Bone Scholar had said, just as a newborn baby knows how to cry, Yu Naixin instantly realized that she already possessed spiritual power.
However, even after gaining spiritual power, it didn't bring about any obvious changes to himself.
Yu Naixin tried stepping on her right foot with her left foot, but failed to fly.
Thinking about all the wonderful things in the special shops, Yu Naixin could only sigh.
You still have to spend money to buy it.
For most TV guests, the substitute straw man is far more important than the resurrection pill. However, Yu Naixin has her own simulator, which not only comes with three lives per episode but also has an additional time rewind function, allowing her to return to the beginning after death. So she didn't rush to buy it.
After buying today's supply of basic and intermediate Qi-nourishing medicines, as well as intermediate healing medicines, Yu Naixin's balance instantly shrank to 1524.
By this point, Yu Naixin was exhausted, both mentally and physically.
She only managed to doze off briefly during the half-day in Cocoon Village and didn't get any proper rest. Being the Mountain God had also been extremely taxing, so Yu Naixin looked at the soft, cozy bed in front of her and felt an overwhelming urge to sleep.
After searching the room, Yu Naixin finally found the relevant instructions in the cabinet under the desk.
This is a lounge specially prepared by the production team of "Heartbeat 1000%" for the show's guests, ensuring that they are not disturbed by any external factors.
New users receive a 24-hour trial period as a gift. If they wish to continue using the service, the price is 100 Sweet Coins per 24 hours.
If the guests don't pay, the water and electricity will be cut off, and they will be deprived of all access to the furniture. They will be forced to stay in a very limited, pitch-black space on the floor.
If you want to leave here, you will go directly to the next episode. The remaining time in the lounge can be accumulated.
Yu Naixin held the piece of paper with the terms and conditions written on it, looking at it from left to right, up to down, and could only see two words: exploitation.
The accommodation fee of 100 yuan for 24 hours is extremely high compared to the 10 and 12 sweet coins on the first and second days of the program.
The production team of "Heartbeat 1000%" never intended to give the guests a proper rest. They were urging the guests, both openly and secretly, to hurry up and go to work in the dungeon.
