A female-oriented system, but the worldview is a little off?

"What weird things are you talking about?"

Chu Yan's head was full of black lines, and he complained speechlessly: "Every time I come here, I just read books, okay?"

"I'm talking to you... Do you think that as long as you rely on your stay-at-home nature, you can say more and more ambiguous things without restraint?"

Then, he chuckled helplessly.

I shook my head and thought - never mind, at least it's much better than the beginning when I felt awkward and unaccustomed to even talking to people...

Now I have learned how to joke.

For a NEET-like literary girl who is suspected to have a serious lack of social life experience and has been spoiled by her family since childhood, this is an epic progress!

She should be rewarded with a little red flower.

"Let's just stop here for today."

Putting the book he had found on the counter, Chu Yan smiled faintly and said, "I have something else to do later."

"Going to work again?"

Axia's tone seemed a little surprised, and she asked in confusion: "Didn't you graduate already?"

"Now, with the help of that thing, life shouldn't be stressful anymore... Hmm."

Halfway through.

She stopped talking as she came to her senses and gently covered her mouth with the book - as if she was about to let something slip.

"Um.....?"

Chu Yan looked at her strangely, feeling that something was wrong.

But he still explained: "No, I'm going to resign from the place where I work."

"After all, those store managers have been very nice to me over the years. Even if I'm going to resign, I want to prepare some gifts for them as a farewell."

He said with a smile.

"Besides... since I have decided to write a novel, I have to go back and decide on the subject matter and outline as soon as possible, otherwise I will get stuck halfway through writing."

Halfway through the explanation, Chu Yan suddenly reacted.

"Hmm...? Wait."

He looked at the black-haired girl with some suspicion.

"——Axia, how did you know I had graduated? Did I just mention it?"

In his memory.

It seems like I have never seen the girl walk out of this bookstore, but I can always see her every time I come here.

People who stay at home all year round can easily lose their ability to perceive time.

——Perhaps the only moment that can connect with the world line is when there is a festival event in the game, and then you will realize what year and month it is.

So, since Chu Yan remembered that he hadn't mentioned it...

How did the girl know that he had graduated?

"Ah...that."

Axia's eyes wandered for a moment, and she answered in a calm tone.

"That's what a student customer who came to my shop said before. I thought you might be a senior in high school as well... It seems like I guessed right?"

After saying this, he lowered his head and looked back at the book as if nothing had happened.

She lifted the hair that fell beside her ear.

She avoided further discussion with the distance that is unique to girls majoring in literature.

"is that so.....?"

Chu Yan nodded and accepted this answer for the time being.

Then he looked stunned.

He took a step back, his eyes widening as if he had heard something horrifying.

In a surprised tone, he asked, "What? Besides me, there are actually other customers in your bookstore?"

"...I always find your attitude irritating?"

Aksia closed the book quickly.

She raised her head with a brilliant smile, her emerald green eyes were as bright and charming as autumn water, but they exuded a dangerous aura like a deep pool.

"Now, you don't want to read books here from now on?"

Chu Yan decisively raised his hands in surrender: "Just this one thing, please forgive me."

"Really..."

Axia sighed and grumbled.

In between his laughter, he whispered back with a hint of pride: "I've already told you, it's not like I don't have customers here!"

"There are so many people trying to get to my place, and they have to queue up to get in..."

During their casual conversation——

Aksia did her job as a bookstore clerk very well.

She glanced formally over the books on the desk.

Then he took out a notebook-like record book, took out a pen and wrote a few lines.

Even the so-called "borrowing fees" are in line with normal prices outside, without revealing any flaws in the details.

Moreover, because they were acquaintances, she even gave me a discount on the already low price...

I only charged a symbolic amount of money, about the price of a bottle of milk tea.

In an objective sense -

If this price were to spread, it would probably cause an impact like a landslide or tsunami. I wonder how many people would go completely crazy...

"That'll be fine."

After symbolically recording everything, Aksia put the booklet away.

He waved his hand and said, "See you next time then."

There was a pause.

An unknown emotion flashed across her eyes, and she murmured calmly, "If... you can still find this place by then."

but.

However, the boy did not do as usual. After choosing a book to borrow, he just said goodbye and left.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

After a slight hesitation, he said, "Wait a minute..."

He pulled out another book from his pocket—and a small rectangular card that looked like an ID, thin and delicate.

He asked without much expectation.

"——Can you help me see if I can borrow another book if I have this?"

.........

.....

[Ding! Daily task completed, read any book in the library (1/1). ]

——Just a dozen minutes ago, Chu Yan picked up a short story and happily enjoyed a leisurely afternoon reading time.

The system's voice sounded in his ears, reminding him that the task had been completed.

To be honest...after being immersed in the story of the novel, Chu Yan completely forgot that he had received such an insignificant daily task.

and--

What he never expected was that after completing the system task, the reward was temporarily upgraded?

What is this, a hidden reward for completing a level?

Did he achieve some platinum achievement without realizing it?

When Chu Yan saw the library card that appeared out of nowhere in his hand.

Everyone was still confused.

The library card is in the shape of a small and exquisite rectangle and can be easily put into a wallet for storage.

I don't know what special material it is made of...

It is as thin as silk, but it feels like warm jade, slightly warm and hard.

The card is set on a low-key yet luxurious dark gold background, with gorgeous lines like emerald green.

They intersect at the center... forming a pattern that looks like an open book.

When reflected in the depths of the pupils.

——It’s as if the brain is silently washed over by a huge amount of knowledge.

When Chu Yan saw this library card for the first time, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment by its beauty.

What blood-marked silver knife and special wine bottle the system gave me before...

Although they are all exquisite things that look like handicrafts.

But when compared with this small certificate, the entire level and style are instantly crushed.

Compared to the name of library card,

This card is more like an "invitation" to a certain place.

--certainly.

What made Chu Yan stunned was not only how good-looking the card itself was.

More importantly, they were shocked by the incredible effect.

What's up with the description of this prop?

As long as the data is stored there, it can borrow the data unconditionally?

What if he sneaked into the headquarters of a large company and directly "borrowed" their confidential transaction documents?

Then take shortcuts and invest in stocks.

Isn't it possible to double or triple your net worth in just a few seconds?

In an instant...

Chu Yan seemed to have seen himself wearing an expensive custom-made suit, with at least five personal maids standing in the room, lyrical piano music playing in the background, and a glass of red wine salvaged from a shipwreck poured in his hand.

Then the scene of him sitting calmly in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard wantonly appeared.

Hmm? .....something seems wrong?

——But Chu Yan soon realized that this was not the case.

Because in the system description.

It clearly states that "unknown consequences may occur without the permission of the venue owner."

In other words...if he simply borrowed the money roughly without any follow-up.

Whether it is recorded by surveillance cameras or discovered by market researchers later...it is possible that the fact that you have done this will be exposed.
