Upon returning home, Ji Wenyan was practically overjoyed!
He had previously been troubled by how to approach Bai Mengze, but now, all his problems had effortlessly melted away!
Finally, he could legitimately approach Bai Mengze!
Moreover, Bai Mengze wouldn’t find him bothersome.
As this thought crossed his mind, Ji Wenyan couldn’t help but hum a cheerful tune. While changing into his slippers at the door, he pondered: ‘Should I continue helping Bai Mengze with her makeup tomorrow?’
His vitality value was about to drop to 60.
While dropping below 50 points would only make one feel weak, he had no desire to experience such a state.
The mere thought of it felt unpleasant!
Recalling the weakness and fatigue he’d felt during a previous illness, Ji Wenyan stopped humming. Instead, he worried, ‘How can I quickly boost Bai Mengze’s attributes?’
[Congratulations, Host, for completing the random mission! Reward: 100 Stardust Points, 1 Affection Point.]
[Stardust Map unlocked! Affection… Insufficient Affection, unlock failed. Please continue your efforts, Host.]
[Would you like to open the Stardust Map?]
Just as Ji Wenyan was contemplating his plans for tomorrow, the system suddenly spoke.
A series of notifications chimed in succession.
After completing the random mission to protect Bai Mengze, the rewards had finally been issued.
Although the Affection unlock had failed, Ji Wenyan didn’t hesitate when the system mentioned the Stardust Map. He simply thought ‘Agree’ in his mind.
Immediately, a transformation occurred before Ji Wenyan.
It was as if all light had been abruptly extinguished; not a single ray illuminated his surroundings.
After a few seconds, something finally appeared!
Unlike the interface of the Tree of Vitality he’d seen before, the scene that materialized this time was a vast, boundless starry sky.
Countless stars glittered before Ji Wenyan, set against an endlessly deep black backdrop, compelling one to lose themselves in the brilliant expanse.
[Stardust Map activated. Host can now exchange for related skills.]
Just as Ji Wenyan was gazing at the stars before him, the system abruptly interrupted his reverie.
Upon hearing ‘exchange for skills,’ a puzzled expression involuntarily appeared on Ji Wenyan’s face.
‘Could it be that he could exchange for world-destroying ultimate moves, like those in online games?’
‘Or perhaps, directly summon fireballs!’
‘At the very least, he should be able to fly!’
[System: Host is indulging in wishful thinking. Based on this world’s rules, only skills that conform to the current rules can be used.]
As Ji Wenyan’s imagination ran wild, the system directly interrupted his fantasies.
Clearly, Ji Wenyan’s recent fantasies were not destined to become reality.
[Then open the skill interface. I’ll take a look first.]
[System: Understood. Opening now… ]
After that, Ji Wenyan said nothing more. He simply instructed the system to open the Stardust Map’s skill interface so he could see what abilities were available.
The next second, Ji Wenyan’s eyes widened in profound shock.
‘He couldn’t have seen wrong, could he?’
Before him were three major categories, with text arranged like branches on a tree.
They were categorized as [Learning], [Life], and [Special].
Densely packed skills were listed, each marked with incredibly familiar words.
For instance, under the [Learning] category, names of various subjects were displayed: Chinese, Mathematics, English, and beyond, even psychology and postpartum care.
The [Life] category included skills like singing, online gaming esports, bartending…
And the [Special] category contained actions such as sleeping, licking one’s nose, crying…
A complete range of skills, covering every conceivable kind, was available.
[System, are you sure… as long as I have Stardust Points, I can freely exchange for all these skills?]
[System: Yes, Host. You can freely exchange them simply by paying the corresponding points. However, Host needs to pay attention… skill levels are divided into Junior, Intermediate, Advanced, Master, Perfect, and Divine, with exchange points starting at 100, 1000, 10000, and so on… ]
‘That’s incredible! But what’s the purpose of the skill levels?’
[System: The higher the level, the greater the benefits! Besides allowing the Host to easily comprehend a skill’s function in daily life, there are additional restrictions each time you use a skill to boost an ability by 100%! Junior-level skills can only be used once per day, Intermediate twice… increasing sequentially. Divine-level skills have no usage limit and become passive abilities.]
Similar to cultivating Bai Mengze’s levels, skills ranged from Junior at the lowest to Divine at the highest.
The required Stardust Points also scaled from low to high, with Divine-level skills demanding ten million Stardust Points…
As if unable to fully internalize such a wondrous possibility, Ji Wenyan mentally sought further confirmation.
Immediately, upon receiving the system’s affirmative reply, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl upwards.
‘Even with restrictions, it’s incredibly powerful!’
‘These skills are practically a cheat code!’
‘As long as he completes more missions, he can learn whatever he desires!’
‘Then, no one will ever be able to say he only relies on his father’s influence!’
‘Wait a minute, I remember one of the rewards from the first main quest was a Perfect-level Mathematics skill…’
‘In that case, wouldn’t he be able to use it five times a day?!’
