When the Side Character Gets a System and Travels through Difference Worlds-Chapter 43: 10-Pull

The Beauty System paused for a moment before a scene materialized in front of Tan You. Flying vehicles weaved freely through the air, soldiers piloted mechs on the battlefield, and colossal, sky-blotting starships jumped at will between planets.

The sight of various high-end laboratories, medical pods, and more left Tan You utterly mesmerized.

"So this is an advanced task world?" Staring at the mech, which glinted with a cold light, Tan You’s eyes filled with longing. ’I really want one.’

The Beauty System said helplessly, "Host, you’re really not like a typical girl."

"Who made the rule that all girls have to be into beauty? What is that? It looks so badass!" Tan You retorted casually, her eyes glued to the mech.

"That’s a mech," the Beauty System paused. "Advanced task worlds are very difficult. There’s a knowledge barrier spanning several thousand years between them and the Host’s world, and it’s not something that can be broken so easily."

Tan You’s eyes sparkled. "It’s fine. That just makes it a more fun toy. Its dazzling brilliance is worthy of such a high difficulty."

"By the way, do they really have those magical eye drops there?" Tan You didn’t forget to confirm. If such a thing really existed, she had to make a trip to an advanced task world no matter what.

"Of course. The System doesn’t lie." The Beauty System puffed out its little chest, clearly unhappy that Tan You was doubting it.

"Besides, the System also needs Energy Points to upgrade. The System is only a beginner-level system right now. After upgrading to an intermediate-level system, it can unlock intermediate-level tasks." The Beauty System slipped in its own agenda, the subtext being that it hoped Tan You would hurry up and do a lottery draw.

Tan You pondered for a moment. "What level do you need to be to unlock advanced tasks?"

"At least an advanced-level system." The Beauty System was suddenly excited. ’If the Host wasn’t such a slacker, does that mean I can upgrade to an advanced-level system very quickly?’

’When that happens, let’s see which of those systems on the forum still dares to call me a little newbie, a little good-for-nothing!’

Tan You asked, "How many Energy Points do you need to upgrade to intermediate level?"

The Beauty System immediately spilled the beans. "The System needs one hundred Energy Points to upgrade to an intermediate-level system, and five hundred Energy Points to upgrade to an advanced-level system."

Seeing that Tan You didn’t reply, the Beauty System quickly explained, "The rewards for intermediate-level tasks are much richer than for beginner-level tasks. I’ve heard that some hosts can help their systems upgrade after just a few tasks."

Tan You narrowed her eyes. "A few tasks? I’m just a very ordinary person. Do you think I can just dominate everyone like other people?"

"But from what you’ve said, it seems I have an eternity, so there’s no rush to do the tasks slowly." Tan You was actually someone who could let things go easily. Even though she had been dealt a bad hand and her family life was what it was, she had still grown up relatively well—at least she hadn’t gone down the wrong path.

The Beauty System practically drooled as it stared at the 11 available Energy Points on Tan You’s account. "Host, do a draw, do a draw!"

Tan You wasn’t in a hurry. "I’ll look at the status bar first."

Soon, the status bar refreshed.

Appearance: 85 (Perfect bone structure, skin as smooth as jade)

Spiritual Power: 52

Intelligence Value: 60

Physique: 40

Charm: 20

All the above values are out of 100. The System reserves the right of final interpretation.

Seeing the Appearance value, Tan You felt a little dejected. ’It would have been better if those points had gone to my Physique instead.’ Unfortunately, besides drawing appearance-related rewards, this little System truly couldn’t be counted on for anything else.

’Instead of relying on the little System, I’d be better off working hard and exercising on my own. Hard work and exercise should be able to raise my Physique, right?’

With these thoughts in mind, Tan You stopped deliberately keeping the little System in suspense. "Let’s do a ten-pull."

"Coming right up!" The Beauty System was instantly delighted, and a large prize wheel quickly appeared before Tan You. The moment her finger tapped down, her available Energy Points instantly dropped from 11 to 3.

"That’s not right. Our deal was that you’d cover the pulls from now on, and what I earn is mine. So I should have 7 Energy Points left." Tan You raised an eyebrow. "Oh well, it’s not enough for another ten-pull anyway. I’ll just save them for the next draw."

The Beauty System set off little fireworks in front of Tan You. "Host, the System will be waiting for your next draw..."

As the human and system were chatting idly, the prizes for the ten-pull finally appeared. Seeing the familiar golden light, Tan You was already zen about it. "I’ve never been this lucky before, have I? Is my luck only good when it comes to you? Hitting the jackpot on both draws?"

The Beauty System said, "The free draws rewarded by the main system usually give good prizes. Plus, drawing more really does make miracles happen."

Tan You couldn’t muster any enthusiasm. "So, what did I get this time? A ’eat-all-you-want-without-gaining-weight’ reward would have been nice, but unfortunately, you don’t have that."

The Beauty System secretly made a note of this skill, planning to add it to the prize pool the next time it refreshed.

"Host, you drew ’Eyes Like Autumn Waters’! You also drew a total of ten points for your Appearance. No Intelligence Value was drawn this time. Host, aren’t you happy?"

Tan You was expressionless. "What’s there to be happy about? ’Eyes Like Autumn Waters’ is useless if no one can see your eyes. With these thick lenses in the way, who’s going to see them?"

"Eight Energy Points for this stuff in return. What a huge loss."

The Beauty System ignored Tan You’s grumbling. "Host, when are you going to do a task? When you come back, we can do more draws, okay?"

This round was a huge loss for Tan You but a huge gain for the system, which had taken a cut of nearly half. ’Once I save up enough Energy Points, I can buy skins for myself!’ the Beauty System thought ambitiously, eyeing the pitifully small number of Energy Points in Tan You’s account.

Tan You said, "Even oxen get to rest. I just got back this morning. You have to let me rest for a few days."

After the high-intensity studying in the task world, Tan You had rarely had a chance to relax. Now that she was back, she just wanted to properly unwind.

"Besides, I have to study. I’m busy." Having been through a task world, Tan You had long since understood the importance of studying. Moreover, not doing well on her middle school entrance exam was a sore spot for her, and she was determined to remain an excellent student throughout high school.

Rebuffed by Tan You, the Beauty System didn’t get angry. Instead, it hid off to the side, gleefully counting its Energy Points. As for how many Energy Points it actually had, Tan You wasn’t sure, but she knew without a doubt that the little thing had definitely earned quite a bit from her.

Back in the real world, Tan You had lost all interest in novels and TV shows. After all, during her life as Han Tingting, she had already seen so much through constant exposure. Plus, with the subsequent rise of short-form videos, her horizons had undoubtedly broadened even more.

The TV shows of today really couldn’t capture her interest. As for novels, Tan You didn’t have money for the book rental store. After all, when Cheng Wenhui went to C City this time, she hadn’t been given a single cent of allowance.

Now, Tan You was able to quiet her mind and study. No matter how scorching it was outside, she could still sit quietly at her desk and work on her exercises. This went on for several days in a row, much to the surprise of Tan Deming.
