"The host persuaded Chen the county magistrate not to deforest anymore, protecting the green mountains and rivers, which was a great deed that would benefit future generations. The system rewarded the host with 10,000 Points."
"The host persuaded Chen the county magistrate to reclaim wasteland and promote potato cultivation, increasing food production and guiding the people of Mo County towards a life of abundance. This was also a great deed, and the system rewarded the host with another 10,000 Points."
Qi Huan was perplexed: "I also grew potatoes in the manor before, why weren't you so generous then?"
"Previously when the host grew potatoes, it only helped a small number of tenants, and was mainly for profit and personal desires. Now the host promises that after the potatoes in the manor are harvested, people will be sent to teach the convicts how to grow potatoes for the benefit of Mo County and the public good. The intentions are different, hence the difference in Points."
"Furthermore, once the potatoes grown by the convicts are harvested, Chen the county magistrate will discover the wonders of potatoes and surely promote their widespread cultivation, attracting more people to reclaim wasteland. This will be passed down from generation to generation, benefiting descendants. The host's small good deed today will lead to great achievements in the future."
In the end, it boiled down to great deeds earning a large amount of Points, while small deeds earned fewer Points.
Qi Huan nodded in understanding. She realized that she needed to accomplish great deeds!
But for now, she was only the daughter of a convict. It was thanks to her late father's legacy, Chen the county magistrate's generosity, and the system's blessings that she could gradually reach her current position, earn some silver, and help those around her as much as possible.
To accomplish even greater good deeds and earn more Points, she needed to rise to a higher position.
Those in the highest positions worried for their people not only because they had that responsibility, but also because only they had the ability to decide the fates of so many.
Heaven had granted her a system and a second chance at life. She thought that she must live up to this great blessing.
Life was not just about love and romance, but also about the vast universe.
She wanted to live happily with Shu, but she also wanted to strive for more people to live happily as well.
The system was stunned by her realization. Previous hosts had said that obtaining it was a blessing and fortune. But the current host said that it also represented a mission.
The system exclaimed excitedly: "Host, keep going! Ride your dreams like horses, don't let your prime years go to waste. This passion burns bright, blossoming and leaving behind fallen petals."
"A poem by Hai Zi? You are quite cultured, system."
"Host, if you award me another 70,000 Points, I could become even more cultured."
"How greedy of you, I only have 72,500 Points in total, and you want 70,000 of them." Qi Huan's heart was bleeding.
"Host, to be honest, I've already saved up 30,000 Points. If you give me another 70,000, you can get a Level 3 system!"
Hearing it add the sentence-final particle "oh", Qi Huan couldn't help but smile. So the system could also act coy.
Considering the long-term benefits, between Points and a higher-level system, Qi Huan decisively chose the latter.
"Alright, I'll give you 70,000 Points."
"Host, please wait!"
—— System 3.0 version loading!
"Ding, greetings host, a Level 3 system is now serving you. You can continue to call me the 'Doing Good Deeds Daily' system or Little Handsome · Little Clever."
"System Three Years Old, hello. What features have you unlocked?"
As she spoke, to Qi Huan's surprise, a miniature model of a delivery van appeared in the void.
She reached out to grab it, but it disappeared again.
"Host, according to our current level, the delivery van has no physical form. However, the driver's cabin space has been unlocked, and the host can hide there in dangerous situations."
"Can I bring others to hide in there with me?"
Surely the driver's cabin had a passenger seat, so at least two people could fit, right?
However, the system regretfully stated: "Not for now."
"To unlock more features, the host needs to earn more Points!"
A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but in an instant, Qi Huan was filled with determination again.
One bite at a time for meals, one step at a time on the journey. As long as there was hope, taking it slow didn't matter.
Besides, she was already very satisfied with the Level 3 protection features!
Others could be as powerful as they wanted, she would just hide in her space.
No one could harm her, heh heh.
Qi Huan happily rolled around on the bed for a bit, then said: "Take me into the driver's cabin to take a look!"
In an instant, the space shifted, and she was back in the familiar truck. To her delight, she also discovered that the truck had USB charging ports and could turn on the air conditioning for cool or warm air.
Qi Huan was extremely satisfied - the 70,000 Points were not wasted.
She leisurely exited the space, suddenly realizing that she hadn't opened any packages in a long time. She decided: "System, I want to redeem 2,000 Points for packages. Save the remaining 500 Points for now."
"Understood, host."
Swish swish —
Packages and pouches of various sizes were neatly laid out on the ground.
Qi Huan hopped off the bed and swiftly sliced open all the packaging with skilled movements.
The first package was a black low-cut silk nightgown. The design was simple yet very sexy.
Running her hand along the smooth fabric, a mischievous smile flashed across Qi Huan's eyes. This little dress had arrived just in time. After washing it, she had another use in mind for it.
The second package contained a box of stationery - adorable black pens, white ring-bound grid notebooks, highlighters, correction tape, and more, with a wide variety.
The third package was a set of three-year high school entrance exam and five-year simulation test papers.
Qi Huan had barely glanced at it before calling out to the system: "I want a seven-day no-reason return."
"Understood, host."
After a moment, the system said: "The seller has approved your return. Please send back the [People's Education Edition Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology Compulsory 2 Set of 4 Volumes] to the provided address."
Swish swish —
The overwhelming study materials on the ground disappeared.
Feeling the pressure lift, Qi Huan breathed a sigh of relief with a radiant smile.
Next, she heard the system remind her: "Since this package did not include shipping insurance, the postage of 30 yuan will be deducted from the host's 30 Points."
"?"
Qi Huan looked puzzled: "You can also mail things?"
"This system is capable of anything."
"Can you help me mail some gold ingots to the Dean's mother tomorrow after I exchange for them at the money house?"
"This system is occasionally incapable."
Its bravado was immediately deflated, and the system sheepishly activated its self-censorship program.
With the silence restored, Qi Huan continued opening the remaining packages.
The fourth package contained various traditional Chinese medical books such as The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, Treatise on Cold Damage Disorders, The Divine Farmer's Materia Medica, and The A-B Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion.
Qi Huan's eyes lit up. If she could print these books and spread them throughout the world, she could help the doctors of Li Country enhance their medical skills and spare more patients from suffering.
However, copying books was not easy.
She would need Shu's help to copy them together.
Qi Huan temporarily stored the medical books in her spatial storage and began examining the next package.
This package contained another beautiful little dress.
A white short-sleeved blouse, paired with a pink checked skirt, a pink butterfly-knot tie, and a matching JK hair band.
She tried it on, and the size fit perfectly.
Unfortunately, she could not openly wear such a lovely little dress.
But she could wear it for Shu to see.
Next, Qi Huan turned her attention to the sixth package.
