System Upgrade

Luo Qingyu washed her hands of any responsibility, shifting all the blame entirely onto 007.

To quickly change the subject, 007 hurriedly looked toward the System Mall and spoke to Luo Qingyu.

【007: Host, would you like to open the System Mall and take a look? There are many great things inside.】

Luo Qingyu was instantly intrigued upon hearing this. Without hesitation, she said, “Of course I want to see it! Otherwise, what was the point of me doing quests so desperately before?”

With that, she tapped open the System Mall. Looking at the dazzling array of goods displayed on the panel, Luo Qingyu's eyes instantly lit up.

007, eager to redeem itself, immediately began introducing the items in the mall one by one with great enthusiasm.

【Host, in the System Mall, there is nothing you can't find, only things you can't imagine.】

【The mall connects to various planes. Not only can you buy items here, but you can also sell items from this world.】

【However, the selling function is currently unavailable. It will only unlock and open once the system level is upgraded to Level Two.】

Listening to 007's introduction, Luo Qingyu couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement as her gaze swept over the various items in the mall.

The sheer volume of items left Luo Qingyu dazzled. She couldn't help but wonder how these things were put up for sale.

Among them were Supreme Lord Lao's Taiji Diagram, Empress Nuwa's Heaven-Mending Divine Soil, and even mechas and starships from interstellar worlds.

Selling these kinds of things... wouldn't they really be hunted down?

Luo Qingyu scrolled through the mall pages aimlessly, her gaze suddenly landing on the modern items category.

Staring at the various snacks on the page, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, clicking to add every single snack to her shopping cart one by one.

Each snack only cost one point. With the price so low, she absolutely had to buy a lot.

Then, her gaze landed on electronic products like smartphones and tablets.

She couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia. Having been transmigrated into this cultivation world for so many years, she hadn't touched these electronic products in ages, and her fingers were practically itching.

But then she remembered a critical issue and asked 007 in confusion, “007, if I buy electronic products, how do I connect to Wi-Fi?”

【007: Host, if you want to use free Wi-Fi, you will need to wait until the system is upgraded to Level Two.】

【After the upgrade, there will be a system space exclusive to the host. You can go inside and enjoy free internet access anytime.】

Hearing this, Luo Qingyu suddenly realized that upgrading the system was indeed quite important.

But on second thought, even if she didn't buy electronic products for now, she absolutely could not mistreat her own appetite.

With that, she looked at the “99+” in her shopping cart and said decisively, “007, purchase all of them.”

【Ding! Purchase successful. All items have been placed in the host's storage ring. Please check and accept them.】

Her shopping complete, Luo Qingyu's gloomy mood vanished instantly. She raised her hand to take out a bag of lime-flavored potato chips from her storage ring.

Tearing open the packaging, she began munching on them with a satisfying crunch, letting out a contented sigh.

“Mmm... who do you think invented these lime-flavored potato chips... crunch, crunch... how can they be... crunch, crunch... so delicious?”

As she ate, Luo Qingyu asked 007 again.

“007, how many points does it cost to upgrade the system to Level Two?”

【007: Host, upgrading from Level One to Level Two only requires twenty thousand points. The further you upgrade, the more points will be required.】

【Would you like to upgrade directly now, Host?】

Luo Qingyu glanced at her account balance of a whopping 47,560 points and commanded generously, “Upgrade directly.”

Then she added, “Oh, and buy a smartphone for me while you're at it. I'll need it in a bit.”

Hearing the host's command, 007's mechanical voice carried a hint of excitement.

Once the system upgraded to Level Two, it would be able to possess a physical form and meet with the host every day. Just the thought of it made 007 incredibly excited.

【Understood, Host! The smartphone has been successfully purchased! The item has been sent to the host's storage ring. Please check and accept it.】

007 quickly spoke up again to remind Luo Qingyu.

“Um... Host, the system upgrade will take some time. During the upgrade period, the System Mall will be temporarily unavailable.”

Luo Qingyu thought for a moment. Reflecting on the pile of snacks she had just hoarded, which was enough to last her a while, she waved her hand dismissively.

“I know, I know. Go ahead and upgrade quickly. I'll wait for you to get back.”

【007: Understood, Host. See you next time.】

With that, the system panel instantly went dark, and 007's voice vanished completely.

Luo Qingyu pondered. Since Qiaoqiao had entered the Changming Sect, her status as a Personal Disciple should also be put on the agenda.

She couldn't let a little butterfly like herself disrupt the subsequent plot.
