After washing up, Zhen Yu turned off the lights and went to bed around eleven o’clock.
While bustling around and casually chatting just earlier, her brother ntioned sothing to Zhen Yu.
He said, "Little sister, I feel like I’m falling behind! It’s really tough to be a student in a key high school. My science subjects are fine, but my Chinese and English grades are sliding!"
Zhen Yu understood what her brother ant; he was subtly asking for her help.
She also knew her brother’s character well; he would never bring it up unless the situation was truly dire.
Thinking about her brother’s skewed grades before the winter break final exams, Zhen Yu silently opened the System Mall.
The reason she hadn’t been willing to spend ten ability points to improve a single stat was precisely so she could save them for ergencies!
She looked through the First-level Mall and didn’t find anything particularly satisfying. Resigned to look elsewhere, she opened the Second-level Mall and began to examine it more closely. "Super Performance Spray is for exams. Scholarly Genius Possession Pill? Too short-lived! Tch! None of the dicinal items will do!"
Just as she was about to give up on the dicinal items, Zhen Yu suddenly noticed sothing, "Oops, no! This Parrot Tongue Pill looks good! Han Mingyue and I could both use it!"
[Parrot Tongue Pill: For six months after ingestion, language learning becos twice as effective, with rapid progress in listening and speaking! Exchange: 100 ability points each.]
"Hmm! I’ll take a look at other things first! I’ll exchange for this one later with everything else!"
"mory Lock... eh! Why is it a defensive item? Next!"
"None of the tool category fits the bill!"
"Food category... huh?! This could work! This is good too! This one, let’s go with this walnut! Ti to give his brain a good boost!"
[Walnut: 24 hours after consuming, mory and comprehension abilities double! Exchange: 1 ability point for 5.]
"Five pieces... it’s still 20 days until the end of March, better exchange for 20 pieces! If they work well, I’ll send so to Han Mingyue too!"
"System! Exchange for walnuts with 4 ability points! Three Parrot Tongue Pills!"
[Ding! Spending a total of one thousand ability points, the Trading Platform has been unlocked!]
The intense white light made Zhen Yu squint, and once it dissipated, the system information imdiately refreshed!

"Wow, not a single Mall Point left!"
First, Zhen Yu remarked on this, then she imdiately looked at what was in parentheses behind the Trading Platform. She was very curious about what that ’Plane 1’ ant!
No sooner had she thought it than Zhen Yu imdiately said, "Open the Trading Platform!"
[Ding! Trading Platform is now connected! Connect to Plane 1?] The chanical voice asked, every word clear-cut.
Suppressing her excitent, Zhen Yu nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
[First ti opening the Trading Platform, Plane 1 randomly selected as—Parallel Universe!]
[Specific year: 2005!]
[Connection person: He Baihe!]
"He Baihe? Who’s that?"
Zhen Yu’s subconscious query received no answer, just like the proverbial nephew holding a lantern—for the uncle, showing no light!
Even though Zhen Yu’s expectations of the system kept diminishing, at this mont, she still itched with aggravation!
"Can’t you just give a newbie guide? Even a user manual would do!" Zhen Yu was in the midst of fervently berating the system, but suddenly a pop-up chat box appeared on her screen!
He Baihe: "Zhen Yu? A newcor? You’re from the parallel world of ’98, huh! Hey! Are you experiencing a flood over there?! Since it’s your first ti connecting to , how about I charitably donate a tent or sothing to you? Just for 1 ability point! Mall Points only! I don’t need your Universal Points! Fair enough, right?! ...Ah! I’m such a good person!"
"...This is..." The thought had just begun to form in Zhen Yu’s mind when the chat box imdiately displayed the sentence with her na prefixed to it!
Zhen Yu was startled! Inwardly, she sighed, "Oh my!"
And those two words were promptly sent to the other side!
"Can’t even... play... anymore..." She voiced her frustration, broken and intermittent, fully conveying Zhen Yu’s helplessness in that mont.
He Baihe: "Hahaha! You’re really funny! You’ve sent out three sentences already, why don’t you hurry up and control your thoughts?! You’re really the newbie among newbies! How long have you been bound to the system? Didn’t it warn you before you made a connection to the Trading Plane?! You guys, don’t tell you’re incompatible?!"
"? About..." Zhen Yu calculated briefly. "Less than three years. How about you? Also, what does incompatible an?"
He Baihe: "? I’ve been with it over twice as long as you! I’ve been bound for almost six years! What’s the number of your system? How’s its personality? My ’Xiao Gao’ and I are a great match! It’s quite the chatterbox too! As for incompatible, it ans that your system’s personality doesn’t sh well with yours, and you two can’t get along! I know soone in my connected dinsions who’s always arguing with his system!"
Zhen Yu almost instantly replied: "Chatterbox? Arguing? Why does my system only emit prompt sounds?!"
"Ah? Impossible! It never talks to you? I an, this kind of very humanized conversation?"
Zhen Shi: "No!"
He Baihe: "Could it be... a cold type? Hmm! I think it’s very likely! You’re quite aloof yourself! I said so much, and you only replied with a single word! If it’s not a compatibility issue, then maybe... it’s broken?!"
"Broken?" Zhen Yu repeated, half-believing, half-doubtful, then inquired further, "What was your system like after you bound it? Can you tell about it?"
"Of course I can! Let tell you! When I initially did it... it was like this!"
After Zhen Yu had yawned a dozen tis, He Baihe finally finished explaining the process of her system binding, with particularly clear details.
"I get it now! Thank you!" Zhen Yu accepted the explanation politely, "I have another question for you. How can I make trades on this Trading Platform? From your words, it seems ability points are used as currency?"
