Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 83

An arrow on the panel pointed at the golden bar. “That experience bar represents your daily cultivation progress. It is designed based on how the Wu in this world cultivate. For every five hours you cultivate, you earn one experience point. With ten experience points, you level up. These bars simply help you monitor your progress more easily.”

Wu Yue stood there in a daze, completely dumbfounded.

It took her a long time to stammer, “F-Five hours?!”

Her legs began to tremble. Tearfully, she looked at the panel. “How do the Wu of this world cultivate?”

She secretly hoped it would not be the answer she feared.

Perhaps her emotional shift was too obvious, because after a brief silence, the system burst into maniacal laughter. “That’s right, host! Just what you imagined! Five hours of meditation, and it must be the kind that connects with this world’s Wu Power!”

Wu Yue wailed. “This is going to kill me!”

The system cackled. “Host, hold back your sorrow! For strength, for the chance to become a powerful female with several handsome beastmen, do not hold back! Go for it! OLI GAY!”

Wu Yue groaned. “I’m trying to build a harem while dragging around a sickly body. Aren’t you afraid the publishers will ban me?”

The system replied, “That was just a joke. With your small frame, you wouldn’t survive those robust beastmen. Desire is fleeting. Your fragile little life is more important.”

Wu Yue: …

“Host, the system just launched a new cultivation shop. Want to check it out? Maybe you’ll find a pleasant surprise,” the system said with a greasy tone.

Wu Yue answered coldly. “No. No points.”

The system tried again. “We have better service than any major shopping platform and a dazzling array of goods. Are you sure you don’t want to take a look?”

Still cold-faced. “No. No points.”

It pushed on. “We also offer excellent service, five-star ratings, and a customer assistant who responds instantly. Are you sure you don’t want to try?”

Unmoved. “No. No points.”

The system stayed quiet for a moment. Just when Wu Yue thought it had given up, it suddenly started crying loudly.

“Host, please! I’m begging you! Please just take a look! I’m working part-time as a customer service rep. If I don’t meet my targets, they’ll deduct my points!”

Wu Yue caught something important. “The system has points, too?”

The wailing stopped instantly. The system spoke seriously. “System-exclusive points. Hosts cannot use them.”

Wu Yue replied, “Heh.”

Stupid system. Like I’d believe that.

“Open the system shop.”

Seeing how pitifully it cried, Wu Yue finally took pity and opened the heavily advertised shop.

But then…

“System, get out here. I swear I only want to pat your pathetic little head. I definitely do not want to bash it in!”

Staring at the lonely item on the shop panel, a single Wu Spirit Pill, Wu Yue wanted nothing more than to wring the system’s digital neck.

“How much did your supplier pay you for this ad campaign?! Your promotion was so exaggerated!”

The system whispered, “Not much… If you check it daily, poor Little System can earn one point to buy snacks.”

Wu Yue ignored it and tapped on the Wu Spirit Pill. A moment later, she wished she could cut off her own hand.

“Consuming it gives ten experience points. It costs one hundred points!”

She stared at the outrageously priced pill, then glanced at the two-thirds full vine pouch of dandelions. Without hesitation, she shut down the overpriced and deceitful shop.
