Chapter 38

Swoosh—

Seven packages simultaneously hit the ground in front of the bed.

Qi Huan quickly jumped off the bed, kicking the little stool, pushing it to the pile of packages, then plopped down and happily began opening the packages.

Ever since having the package system, she had achieved package freedom.

"Let me see what goodies there are?"

She muttered to herself as she tore open the tape on the first box.

After opening the box, on top was a weight loss recipe.

Removing that, underneath were all sorts of instant chicken breast products - instant chicken breasts, instant chicken strips, instant chicken meatballs, and more.

Qi Huan looked down at her beansprout-like figure, and complained to the system:

"Couldn't you have sent me some products for breast enhancement like papaya instead? What use do I have for these weight loss items?"

"The host is still young and should believe in herself. As for these chicken meat products, does the host wish to return them within seven days for any reason?"

"No need to return them for now, at least they're meat."

After saying that, Qi Huan began opening the second package.

It was a box of hand warmers, quite useful.

The third package was a rotten tomato-colored lipstick. Qi Huan opened it and tried the color on her arm. It made her look very fair and bright.

She delightedly began opening the fourth package, which was a box of instant noodles.

Now that was good stuff.

On countless late nights and long journeys, instant noodles were indispensable.

Of course, the ancients weren't so fortunate - on journeys they mostly ate hard, dry provisions.

Qi Huan could already imagine that her instant noodles could fetch a very good price.

Pulling her thoughts back, she opened the fifth package next, which contained facial masks for ex-boyfriends.

Qi Huan touched her slightly wind-dried skin and hugged the masks, grinning foolishly.

"Skin as delicate as congealed lard, about to crack - it's up to you guys now!"

After washing up, she tore one open impatiently and stuck it to her face.

With the mask on, Qi Huan opened the sixth package with great anticipation.

It was a set of the four scholar's treasures for calligraphy and painting.

It could be given to Li Shuchen, and would earn her a hundred points too - not bad at all.

Finally, her gaze turned to the last package. Upon opening it, there they were - the undergarments she had been longing for.

Unfortunately, there were only underwear - for men, women, and children.

After sorting through all these items, she went to wash the underwear, then hung them up in the room to air dry before wearing them.

Li Shuchen affirmed with an "Mm," adding, "I clean my teeth every day."

"Oh, good for you then."

After breakfast.

Li Shuchen handed her a copy of the Thousand Character Classic and taught her to recognize and write the characters.

Some of the characters were not too different from modern simplified forms, so Qi Huan found them relatively easy to learn.

But some were quite complex and difficult to recognize - she would learn one then forget another.

"Li Shuchen, I forgot how to read this character again..."

"No need to rush, I'll teach you again."

Qi Huan immediately scooted closer, staring intently at the character in the book and trying hard to memorize its shape.

Noticing her move closer and closer, a smile tinged Li Shuchen's brow.

He taught with even more patience, and Qi Huan studied with increasing enthusiasm.

By noon, Qi Huan had learned to recognize quite a few characters.

After a quick lunch, they prepared to practice writing in the afternoon.

But writing required tools, so Qi Huan checked her points balance.

Including the points from breakfast, lunch, and the gifted scholar's treasures, she now had three hundred points.

The system then suddenly notified her, "Act of kindness +1, points +1."

"Was someone using the noodle shop's free voucher?"

Hearing her question, the system replied, "Yes, that's right host."

After a while, another notification: "Act of kindness +1, points +1."

Throughout the noon period, she gained 13 more points, meaning the noodle shop had given out 13 free bowls of noodles and sold over 390 bowls total.

That was significantly more than usual.

Qi Huan smiled faintly, it seemed the free vouchers were really a win-win good deed.

Sales were up, earning more money, while also helping those in need - plus extra points for her.

The more she thought about it, the more satisfied she felt, grinning happily when suddenly, her head was rapped.

"Li Shuchen, why did you hit me?"

"What are you spacing out for? Didn't you say you have writing brushes? Quickly take them out and start practicing."

"Oh, right."

Qi Huan snapped out of it and hurriedly asked the system to reorder writing brushes, then began learning the proper brush grip.

While helping adjust her grip, Li Shuchen's hands inevitably touched hers, and she felt her face growing warmer.

Distracted by these thoughts, her writing became more and more illegible.
