Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 83: Ad Revenue Share

The arrow on the panel pointed to a long, golden bar. "This EXP bar is a visualization of your daily cultivation, designed based on how witches in this world train.

"For every five hours you cultivate, you’ll earn one experience point. After ten experience points, you’ll level up.

"These display bars are just here to help you better understand your cultivation progress."

Wu Yue stood there, completely dumbfounded. She was utterly flabbergasted.

After a long moment, she finally stammered, "F-five hours?!"

Feeling her calves begin to tremble, Wu Yue looked at the panel with a tearful expression. "How do the witches in this world train?"

’She secretly prayed it wasn’t the answer she was expecting.’

Perhaps her emotional turmoil was too obvious, because after a moment of silence, the System burst into wild laughter. "That’s right, Host! It’s exactly what you were thinking. Five hours of meditation, and it has to be a meditation that connects with this world’s witch power."

Wu Yue wailed, "This is going to kill me!"

The System cackled madly. "My condolences, Host! For the sake of power, for the sake of becoming a mighty female with several handsome male Beastmen, go for it! You can do it!"

Wu Yue shot back, "Trying to build a harem with this sickly body of mine... aren’t you afraid of getting censored?"

System: "Hey, I’m just saying. With that frail little body of yours, you wouldn’t be able to handle the powerful physique of this world’s Beastmen anyway. Abstinence is a virtue, and staying alive is more important."

Wu Yue...

"Host, the new Cultivation section of the System Mall is now open! Wanna go for a browse? You might find a pleasant surprise..." the System said in a wheedling tone.

Wu Yue replied with a deadpan expression, "Nope. No points..."

The System pressed on. "Service better than Amazon or eBay, and a dazzling array of products! Are you sure you don’t want to take a look?"

Still deadpan, she said, "Nope. No points..."

The System persevered. "And you get me, the five-star customer service rep Little Commander, with an amazing attitude and always on call! Are you sure you want to pass that up?"

Deadpan once more. "Nope. No points..."

The System fell silent for a long moment. Just as Wu Yue thought the little guy had finally given up, it suddenly let out a loud "WAAAH!" and started crying.

"Host, my dear Host, I’m begging you! Please just take a look! I’m moonlighting as a customer service rep for the Cultivation Mall, and if I don’t get any business, they’ll deduct my points! Waaah!"

Wu Yue latched onto a very important piece of information from its outburst. "The System has points, too?"

The loud wailing came to an abrupt halt. The System announced in a dead-serious tone, "These are System-exclusive points. The Host cannot use them." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Wu Yue scoffed. "Right..."

’Damn System,’ she thought. ’Like I’d ever fall for that.’

"Open the System Mall." Seeing how miserably it was crying, Wu Yue finally took pity and opened the mall it had so desperately promoted. But...

"Damn System, get out here! I promise I just want to pat your head. I definitely don’t want to smash it in!"

Staring at the single, solitary Witch Spirit Pill on the mall’s panel, Wu Yue wanted nothing more than to wring that damn System’s neck.

"Damn System, how much did your supplier pay you in advertising fees? This promotion of yours is so over-the-top!"

The System muttered secretively, "Not that much... If you, the Host, just check in once a day, this poor Little Commander can earn 1 point to buy snacks."

Wu Yue couldn’t be bothered to deal with it and just clicked on the Witch Spirit Pill to check the details. The next second, she wished she could chop off her own hand. "It gives ten experience points, but it costs one hundred points?!"

Looking at the sky-high price of the elixir, then at the two-thirds of a bamboo bag of dandelions she had left in the corner, Wu Yue decisively closed the ripoff mall.
