Qiu Yingying is reborn and bound to a learning system.

A few days later, Qiu Yingying stared at her computer screen, carefully checking the last detail of the visual plan for the spring new product promotion. As she clicked the "send" button, her fingertips trembled slightly with nervousness. She had spent three sleepless nights working on this plan, refining it over a dozen times by incorporating marketing aesthetics learned in the system's virtual learning room. Even her senior colleagues in the design department couldn't help but praise her for her thoroughness.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up to get a glass of water, the system notification suddenly exploded in her mind, clear and loud: [Ding! Host has completed 10 tasks, achievement achieved! System Shop officially open!]

Before she could finish speaking, a burst of golden ribbons exploded out of thin air before her eyes. Tiny confetti drifted down, covering her completely, even the tip of her nose glistening with a pinkish-purple light, like a handful of scattered stars. Qiu Yingying was so startled that she raised her hand to cover her mouth, afraid of losing her composure in the quiet office. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and the surprise in her eyes overflowed like a spring, impossible to hide, as she stared intently at the semi-transparent panel that had suddenly appeared before her.

The panel looked as if it were made of flowing starlight, with a ring of fine, silvery-blue starlight around the edge. The homepage neatly listed four categories: 【Clothing, Food, Housing, and Transportation】, 【Alchemy and Secret Techniques】, 【Rare Treasures】, and 【Skill Scrolls】. The four large, gold-stamped characters were particularly eye-catching, making one's eyes sparkle. Her fingertips trembled slightly as she clicked on 【Clothing, Food, Housing, and Transportation】. The products inside were dazzling. There were even silk shirts that could automatically iron themselves, labeled "Wrinkle-resistant and wrinkle-free, won't wrinkle even after sitting for a long time"; there were waterproof and stain-resistant custom-made suits, where spilled coffee would automatically roll off; there was even a pair of black cloth shoes embroidered with cloud patterns, with a very elegant name, "Cloud-Treading Shoes," and the description read "Leave no trace on snow, travel a thousand miles a day." Qiu Yingying was speechless.

Clicking into the "Secrets of Elixir Making," in addition to the familiar Intelligence Pill, there were also exquisitely packaged Stamina Pills and Concentration Pills. What excited her the most was a pure white "Photographic Memory Pill," whose description said, "Within three days of taking it, you will remember everything you see and hear." It was practically tailor-made for someone like her who needed to study professional books.

What made her heart race the most was the "Rare Treasures" category. Inside were food boxes that could keep food fresh for seven days, so she would never have to worry about her homemade snacks spoiling again; there were also thin gauze garments that could conceal one's figure, which could come in handy at crucial moments; and there was also a small bronze mirror the size of a palm, engraved with intricate patterns and labeled "Mirror of the Heart, which can discern the true feelings of others," full of fantasy, which dazzled her.

Just as Qiu Yingying was watching intently, even holding her breath, a clear and soft meow rang out. Suddenly, ripples spread across the center of the panel, like the surface of a lake where a pebble had been thrown in, shimmering and sparkling. Then, a small black and white kitten, no bigger than a palm, leaped out, stepping on starlight. It wore round, black-rimmed glasses, the lenses reflecting tiny glints of light, making its eyes appear exceptionally bright and lively. A pink bow adorned the tip of its tail, fluffy and incredibly cute. The kitten landed lightly on the back of Qiu Yingying's hand, its soft paws gently patting her, as if in greeting.

Immediately afterwards, a soft, sweet voice with a touch of arrogance rang in her mind, like sucking on a piece of candy: "My dear Yingying, your darling Duoduo is here!"

Qiu Yingying held her breath and carefully reached out to touch the kitten's head. The touch was warm and the fluffy texture felt incredibly real—it wasn't an illusion! Was this the system spirit? She stared wide-eyed as the kitten wagged its tail and rubbed its head against her fingertip. Its black-rimmed glasses slid down to the tip of its nose, revealing a pair of round, amber eyes, like two bright pieces of beeswax.

"Duoduo?" Qiu Yingying asked tentatively, her voice so soft as if she were afraid of disturbing something, her fingertips still resting on the kitten's soft fur.

The kitten immediately sat up, hands on its hips, pushed its glasses back into place, and said seriously, "That's right! It's me! From now on, I'll be in charge of everything in the shop!" As it spoke, it flicked its tail, and the items on the panel immediately started scrolling. "Host can exchange items with mission points. If you don't have enough points, you can also post bounty missions to earn more! Oh, and by the way, newcomers to the shop also receive a big gift pack!"

Qiu Yingying subconsciously glanced at the points balance in the corner of the panel, where a string of numbers clearly appeared—502 points. She quietly calculated in her mind that these points were enough to buy some basic household items, but the fantastical items in the [Rare Treasures] section were priced exorbitantly high. The Mind-Reading Mirror cost five thousand points, and the Cloud-Stepping Shoes cost eight thousand—it was simply an astronomical figure.

Dodo seemed to read her mind, wagging its tail as it explained, "Host, don't think it's expensive. Those fantastical items are too powerful. If they appeared randomly, they would disrupt the order of this world and endanger social security, which is why they're priced so high. Our system is meant to help the system achieve a better life, but the main executor is still the host. We play a supporting role. Host, you were able to be reborn because you are inherently good, which is why the system chose you." It paused, its amber eyes curving into crescents.

"But don't worry, host. As the system's exclusive host, you'll be Earth's traveling frog. After you die of old age, you'll take all your belongings and the system with you to other worlds. You'll need those things sooner or later!"

Qiu Yingying's eyes lit up when she heard this; she hadn't realized there was such a sequel, and her heart was filled with anticipation.

"Newcomer gift pack has been issued, please check it, host!" Duoduo tapped the panel with her little paw, and a pink and white gift box landed in Qiu Yingying's palm with a "thud," carrying a sweet milky aroma, like freshly baked cotton candy.

Her fingertips trembled slightly as she carefully untied the ribbon. Inside the gift box rolled three round candies—pink, yellow, and blue—wrapped in shimmering wrappers that sparkled in the sunlight. Printed on them were three delicate characters: "Longevity Pill." Duo Duo wagged her tail, her voice full of pride: "This is a good thing! One pill will keep you healthy and alive until you're 111 years old, without illness or disaster, not even a minor cold!"

Qiu Yingying's breath hitched, her fingertips trembling as she held the candy. Just as she was about to thank them, her gaze was drawn to the bright red booklet at the bottom of the gift box—the three words "Property Certificate" embossed in gold on the cover were particularly glaring, like a flickering flame. With trembling hands, she opened it. The address field clearly showed "Joyful Ode 2204," followed by her name, each stroke clear and distinct.

She was so shocked she almost dropped the candy in her hand. 2204? That empty apartment on the same floor? It's only two rooms away from 2202!

"Is this...is this real?" Qiu Yingying's voice trembled as her fingertips repeatedly traced her name on the property certificate. The gold lettering made her fingertips burn, and that warmth traveled all the way to her heart, making her eyes sting.

Duoduo wagged its tail proudly, its little head held high: "Of course it's true! But this house only has basic renovations. The walls are painted white, the floor is laid, but there's no furniture, appliances, or soft furnishings at all. You'll have to add them yourself, host!"

Qiu Yingying covered her mouth, her eyes instantly reddening. She had come to Shanghai from her hometown to work hard, squeezing into shared apartments and living in partitioned rooms. She never imagined that she could own a house of her own in this city where land is so expensive. And not just any house, but 2204 in the same building as her friends, where she could visit each other whenever she wanted and eat together whenever she wanted!

After get off work, the setting sun painted the sky a gentle orange-pink. Qiu Yingying, clutching her property certificate and a longevity pill, walked briskly out of the company building.

She found a quiet corner in the park, sniffed, picked up the pink longevity pill, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth. The sweet taste melted on her tongue, carrying a faint peach blossom fragrance, and slid down her throat, making her feel warm all over, as if she were soaking in a warm spring, with comfort permeating even her bones.

She looked down at the two remaining candies, her eyes welling up with tears—her parents had worked hard all their lives in their hometown, and their bodies had long suffered from minor ailments such as backaches and pains. These two longevity pills would allow them to enjoy their retirement in good health and peace.

Qiu Yingying carefully tucked the remaining life-saving pills into her inner pocket, then treasured the property certificate and put it into her bag. She looked up at Duoduo, who was crouching on the back of her hand, and smiled sweetly. Her voice was slightly choked with emotion as she said, "Duoduo, thank you."

Duoduo turned its head away haughtily, but the tip of its tail secretly hooked her finger, muttering softly, "Hmph, this is all a reward for the host's hard work! Oh, right, the key to 2204 is in your bag, you can go see the apartment now!"

Qiu Yingying quickly rummaged through her bag and found a cold key with "2204" engraved on it. Clutching the key, she felt as if she had a blazing sun in her heart, and her steps became lighter. She couldn't wait to fly to her new home.

Clutching the key, Qiu Yingying ran briskly to the front door of her new home, inserted it into the lock, and gently turned it. With a "click," the door opened.

Sunlight streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the spacious room in a warm golden glow. The floor was a clean, light gray, and the walls were pristine white, making the room feel bright and airy. She took a deep breath, stepped inside, and began to envision a fresh, European-style room, every detail crystal clear in her mind.

The living room should have light beige herringbone flooring, which will feel soft underfoot. The walls should be painted a soft creamy white, and a few landscape paintings in Morandi colors should be hung, with exquisitely carved frames to add a touch of vintage charm. An L-shaped light gray fabric sofa should be placed against the wall, with creamy yellow and light pink lace-trimmed cushions on it, which will be very comfortable to hug. In front of the sofa is a round white carved coffee table with a transparent glass vase filled with chamomile and daisies, which is fresh and pleasing to the eye. A white rattan rocking chair must be placed next to the floor-to-ceiling window, with a beige knitted blanket and a floor lamp with a slender gold stem. In the evening, you can curl up in the rocking chair to read a book, with a plate of homemade snacks next to you, which is simply heavenly. Install a simple crystal ceiling light on the ceiling. It doesn't need to be too luxurious. Just let the tiny crystals refract a soft light, which is gentle and romantic. Choose two layers of curtains. The inner layer should be a soft white gauze, and the outer layer should be a light brown linen curtain. When drawn, it can filter out gentle light and shadow. When you wake up in the morning, the sunlight will shine through the gauze curtain and cast dappled light and shadow on the floor.

The bedroom was the place she put the most thought into; it had to be warm and sweet. The walls were painted a light peach pink, like the blush on a young girl's cheeks; a delicate plaster molding lined the headboard wall, with a small French-style painting in the center depicting butterflies fluttering about. The bed was to be a 1.8-meter white carved king-size bed, covered with light pink lace bedding that would feel incredibly soft and cozy to the touch.

Two fluffy white throw pillows sit at the head of the bed, while a beige fringed blanket draped at the foot, adding a touch of慵懒的美感 (a sense of relaxed, languid beauty). A white bedside table sits on either side of the bed, each topped with a vintage-style lamp with a lace shade. At night, the light is incredibly soft and not at all harsh. A white dressing table with a round, carved mirror sits near the window, displaying her skincare products and jewelry. A pink velvet chair sits beside it, perfect for relaxing while doing her makeup. The curtains are light pink sheer curtains, allowing light to pass through but not completely opaque. The morning sunlight streams in, filling the entire bedroom with a sweet, cotton-candy-like glow.

The study is her own little sanctuary, quiet and comfortable. The walls are a clean cream white, with an entire wall of open white bookshelves, plenty of shelves to hold her professional books, novels, and various delicate trinkets—ceramic rabbits, glass star-shaped bottles, handmade lanterns, and a few succulents and pothos plants to add a touch of life. When she gets tired of reading, she can look up and see a sea of ​​green. A white solid wood desk is placed by the window, with a spacious desktop to accommodate her laptop and drawing tablet, where she can write proposals and draw dessert designs.

A beige ergonomic chair sits next to the desk, so you won't feel tired even after sitting for a long time. A golden table lamp sits in one corner of the desk, and a small aromatherapy diffuser sits next to it, occasionally releasing a faint scent of gardenias, which is refreshing and calming. In another corner of the study, there is a light gray beanbag chair, where you can curl up when you're tired, read a book, or browse your phone—it couldn't be more comfortable.

The kitchen will be open-plan, connected to the living room, making the space feel more spacious. When friends come over, they can chat while cooking. The cabinets will be white, European-style with carved details, and the doors will be transparent glass, allowing a view of the neatly arranged dishes and her beautiful tableware collection. The countertop will be light gray quartz, durable and attractive, and convenient for chopping vegetables and cooking. The kitchen walls will be covered with white checkered tiles, clean, refreshing, and bright. Next to the stove, a row of gold hooks will hang her spatula, ladle, and several checkered dishcloths—practical and stylish.

Leave a small space by the window, place a large white square table and six wrought iron chairs. Having breakfast here in the morning, basking in the sun, and looking at the view downstairs will make you feel incredibly happy! Plus, the lighting here is great, so the background will definitely look beautiful when filming dessert-making videos in the future, and my fans will definitely love it.

Qiu Yingying became increasingly excited as she thought about it, and immediately summoned the system panel to start redeeming items. She used the points she had accumulated by checking in and completing tasks during this period, along with the various reward points given by the system, to redeem her favorite items one by one.

The living room floor and wall paint were redeemed with basic building materials points. Painting the walls and laying the floor was a quick process, and the originally plain house instantly became cozy. The L-shaped light gray fabric sofa, the white carved round coffee table, and the rattan rocking chair by the French windows were all redeemed with points she had accumulated over a long period of time. After placing them in the living room and laying down a light brown linen rug, it instantly felt like home.

She also redeemed a few more Morandi landscape paintings and exquisite carved frames, which she hung on the sofa background wall. In the corner, she placed a glass vase filled with the preserved chamomile and daisies she had redeemed through the system, creating a refreshing atmosphere.

The peach-pink wall paint in the bedroom and the plaster molding decorations at the head of the bed were all redeemed with beauty and skincare points—the system thoughtfully allowed cross-category redemption, it really understood her perfectly; the 1.8-meter white carved bed with fluffy light pink lace bedding was redeemed with her full attendance reward points from 30 consecutive days of check-ins, it was so soft and cozy to lie on, like sinking into a cloud.

What pleased her most was the white European-style carved kitchen cabinet. The price was exactly 32 points, and she didn't hesitate to deduct the points and place the order. Instantly, the entire cabinet appeared out of thin air in the kitchen area, fitting perfectly into the wall. Even the matching gold hooks and checkered dishcloth were neatly hung to the side, saving her a lot of trouble.

Finally, she used her last few points to redeem a white square table and six wrought iron chairs, placing them by the window in the kitchen. The afterglow of the setting sun streamed through the window, falling on the table. Qiu Yingying could almost see herself sitting there, eating freshly baked peach blossom pastries, watching the bustling traffic below, her heart filled with peace.

She stood in the center of the living room, looking at the room that had transformed from empty to warm and elegant, and her nose tingled slightly. This was her home, a home she had personally decorated with her own hard work and points. In the bustling city of Shanghai, she finally had a place where she could shelter from the wind and rain.

Dodo wagged its tail and landed on her shoulder, pointing its little paws out the window, its voice sweet: "Host, look! The sunset is so beautiful!"

Qiu Yingying looked up and saw the orange-red sunset slowly descending, painting the sky into a magnificent picture. The afterglow spilled onto the floor, warming hearts. A sweet smile curved her lips, but she secretly considered her options—she wasn't planning to move in yet. Her current income couldn't justify such a nice apartment, and besides, she couldn't bear to leave her sisters in 2202, the lively chats every night, Sister Fan's nagging, and Guan Guan's company.

After some time, when her career has reached new heights and her side business as a food blogger is thriving, and she has accumulated enough wealth to give the house a legitimate "origin," it won't be too late to move in.

Looking at the sunset outside the window, Qiu Yingying felt a sweet warmth in her heart, like she had a piece of candy in her pocket. She was confident that things would get better from now on.
