As a result, at this mont, she heard a system notification sound, "ding."
She was taken aback.
Had the system given her so kind of feedback?
She hurried back to her room, and as she entered into the system, the system’s transparent panel appeared before her. There was only one word displayed: Good.
Good, good what?
Could it be that the system also wants to devour the Qingming River Painting?
Another ding.
The system then spit out another sentence.
"Good."
"Delicious."
In an instant, Qin Xiangnuan felt like she had been struck by lightning. Could it be that the system’s required energy was to consu these embroidery pieces?
"As you thought," the system beca connected with her entirely, so whatever she thought, the system would know imdiately.
A few more lines of text appeared, and only then did Qin Xiangnuan begin to comprehend so aspects of the system, no longer as ignorant as before. As it turned out, the system needed energy to operate. From the mont it bound to a host, the host’s responsibility was to provide the energy needed for the system’s operation.
The energy for the system’s operation was Qin Xiangnuan’s embroidery. One Qingming River Painting could sustain it for nearly ten years, which was why the system had given Qin Xiangnuan so many Gold Coins all at once. The embroidery Qin Xiangnuan sold to the system later could fully sustain its daily operation. Naturally, the system had its own wits about it. It depended on fate to select its host. A good host would provide it with more energy to operate. Although the system did not know from where it originated, it was exceedingly fearful of death. It loved to store energy, so as long as Qin Xiangnuan provided it with ample energy, it would be happy to open a few backdoors for her, and the items on sale in the store would increase.
This was sothing Qin Xiangnuan was unaware of until now. Previously, she needed only fabric and silk threads, so she would embroider desperately. Moreover, the system’s milk was tasty, and it really did consu too many Gold Coins in a month when her whole family drank it, which was why she always thought about earning more Gold Coins.
Now that she understood all this, Qin Xiangnuan would not be stingy. The system had been with her the longest since her rebirth and understood her the best. One could say that her ability to survive with her older brother and live in such a large house was all thanks to the system.
She regarded the system as a friend, a benefactor.
There was just sothing she didn’t understand.
When she chose embroidery among the three paths initially, it was to feed the system with her embroidered works.
So what about Qin Xiangi who had chosen beauty? What was the system supposed to consu then? The system needed energy to operate, so could it be that the system simply enjoyed looking at Qin Xiangi’s beautiful face every day?
"System, if Beauty was chosen, what would you consu?"
She sat at the desk, supporting her chin with her hand and asked the system directly.
It was only after a long while that the system responded with a line of text.
"Exploiting soone’s fortune and life span."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiangnuan shivered.
"Exploiting that person’s own life span?" If so, Qin Xiangi in her forr life, how long could she live? Regardless, Qin Xiangi would definitely outlive her in her last life and wouldn’t look too ugly upon death.
Another line of text from the system.
"Exploiting soone else’s fortune."
Qin Xiangnuan’s heart suddenly tightened, and her throat felt dry.
"Soone else’s fortune can be exploited?"
"Yes," the system revealed, with its words appearing line by line, "if there is a blood relation and a contract is signed, the system will reclaim that person’s fortune and life span. The person from whom the life span has been taken will have no luck and will not live long."
Qin Xiangnuan released her hands, which were already covered in cold sweat.
She vaguely rembered that year...
Qin Xiangi ca over with a sweet smile, wearing a beautiful dress that did not outshine her snow-white complexion. Although Qin Xiangnuan had seen her many tis and almost daily, she was still invariably shook by her beauty every ti they t.
Qin Guohua could only be said to have a handso appearance, and Hu Li was not bad-looking, but Qin Xiangi had already far surpassed them. She was the renowned beauty of their village and an excellent student, having already beco the golden phoenix that flew out of their village.
While she, Qin Xiangnuan, involuntarily took a step back, hiding her withered hands, as dry as dead branches, behind her back. She didn’t know how many years she had been wearing the sa clothes. Just coming from the kitchen, she was covered in cooking smoke and her unwashed hair was clumped together, making her look utterly disheveled.
"Do you have sothing for ?" she asked hoarsely. Unlike Qin Xiangi, she was a withered tree, and Qin Xiangnuan was a flower blooming against the wind.
Qin Xiangi’s smile was too sweet and attractive. Her fair complexion was without a single pore, and her facial features were extrely delicate. It was a mystery how she could be so beautiful, on par with those celebrities outside, even resembling their current favorite, Zhou Hai i. Every gesture and movent was unspeakably graceful and charming. At the ti, Qin Xiangnuan did not understand this. Later, she ca to realize that this was what was called temperant.
"Big sister, do you want money?" Qin Xiangnuan’s red lips lightly parted, and her words were like honey, twisting Qin Xiangnuan’s heart with pain.
Money, she needed money, she really needed money, and she needed a lot of it, and right now, what she needed the most was money.
It was almost ti for the Qingming festival, and she wanted to burn so paper money for her older brother and mother, but she didn’t have ten cents to her na. She wasn’t Qin Xiangi, who could go to school. She married off early, her husband was hardly capable, and her mother-in-law was fierce; the money was all controlled by her mother-in-law. Forget about saving money, she didn’t even have half a cent to her na.
She wanted to speak to her mother-in-law, to ask for so money to buy paper money, but she knew that if she really asked, she would not only get no money but might even be beaten. She could only stealthily collect discarded bottles to sell when no one was around, but now, with only a few yuan in her hand, what could she buy?
"You..." She licked her pale lips, "Can you lend so money? Don’t worry, I will definitely pay you back."
"You don’t have to pay back," Qin Xiangi placed a sheet of paper on the table, "Just leave your handprint here, and I will give you 100 yuan. Big sister, think it over carefully?" Her red lips curled up slightly. Even though it was clearly so beautiful, Qin Xiangnuan didn’t know why, but she felt a sudden chill.
Her instinct told her that she shouldn’t sign this docunt or leave a handprint.
"Don’t worry, big sister," Qin Xiangi continued to smile and lift her lips gently, "It’s just exploiting big sister’s sothing, it won’t affect you at all. Moreover," she looked Qin Xiangnuan up and down with a thinly veiled scorn, "In this state, what could I possibly take from you?"
