Chapter 603 Huge Discount

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Now that you're awake, come and help me choose what to bring."

Lin Xiyue really didn't want to continue the discussion, so she quickly changed the subject, hoping to shift her attention away from the matter she didn't really want to deal with.

[How about I help you choose while you draw a card? You've accumulated quite a few energy points lately! \(^o^)/~]

However, the system seemed oblivious to Lin Xiyue's change in mood. Its tiny, bean-sized eyes darted around, and then it made a suggestion to Lin Xiyue without any hesitation.

Upon hearing the system's words, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She thought to herself, "This guy is really good at scheming; he always tries to find ways to get me to spend money."

"Oh ho, you've got a real scheme going on! What's this? Did you run out of all that hidden stash of money you had? If I remember correctly, Amo gave you quite a bit of money over the years!"

So she teased him on purpose.

Hehe, you bet! I've spent it all!

However, it wasn't because of my misuse. After successfully connecting to the main system this time, the main system immediately upgraded my in-game store, which I spent money on—it was a great deal! ...

Faced with Lin Xiyue's teasing, the system seemed quite at ease, and it replied cheerfully.

"Huh? The store's been upgraded? Let me check... I don't see any changes..."

Lin Xiyue's eyes lit up when she heard the system say that, and she was secretly delighted.

Could this update have released some rare treasure? Or some special cards?! I'd better take a good look!

Therefore, Lin Xiyue couldn't wait to open the store and find out more.

However, when she excitedly opened the online store page, she found that everything seemed unchanged—the same familiar products and interface layout.

Uh... actually, this update isn't for your personal shop, but for our entire system's shop!

Therefore, on the surface, it may not bring you many obvious changes.

Just as Lin Xiyue was puzzled, the system suddenly let out a soft sigh and explained with a hint of apology.

Upon hearing these words, Lin Xiyue's initial enthusiasm cooled down, and a hint of disappointment appeared on her face, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Oh, I see. Okay then. Since it has nothing to do with me, please continue. What did you buy?"

She asked the system casually.

As she spoke, Lin Xiyue casually called over Xiao Qi, who was standing to the side, and instructed him to check the items in the warehouse one by one, paying special attention to anything that might pose a threat to her, and to pick them all out and put them aside.

Then, classify and organize the items according to their different functions and attributes so that you can choose what you need more conveniently and quickly.

Actually, there weren't many new features added, but a new skin was released!

Hehe~ So, this system gritted its teeth, stomped its foot, and spent a fortune, acquiring all the skins it liked!

Now look what's happened! My wallet is completely empty, I can't even afford a small snack... Waaaaah (＞﹏＜)]

The system pitifully complained to Lin Xiyue.

"Wait... what did you just say? Skin? Could it be that all those colorful things on you are the new skins you just bought?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue suddenly came to her senses.

She stared wide-eyed at the completely transformed man before her.

Before this, Lin Xiyue had only glanced at it briefly and hadn't dared to look at it for long—she was simply too blinded by the dazzling light.

[Yes! This is the system's latest acquired skin! I really liked this skin even before I was bound to you, but it was so expensive back then that it was out of my reach. I just couldn't bring myself to buy it. Waaah...]

The system smugly exclaimed.

"Oh? Since you've already said it's expensive, how come you're still willing to spend the money to buy it?"

Upon hearing the system say this, Lin Xiyue raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion.

After all, based on her understanding of the system, this guy was always extremely stingy and miserly.

Back when she borrowed energy coins from the system, the other party demanded an exorbitant interest rate that was almost at the bottom line, squeezing out profits to the extreme!

[Hehehe, don't get me wrong~ The reason I was so stingy before was simply because I liked so many things, so I had to desperately accumulate energy coins!]

Faced with Lin Xiyue's question, the system quickly waved its hand and began to explain.

As the system spoke, it seemed afraid that Lin Xiyue wouldn't believe it, so it added an extra point—that it wasn't being so stingy with money for any other reason, but because it liked too many expensive things.

"So you've saved up the money this time? You won't ask me for such a high interest rate again, right?"

Upon hearing the system's words, Lin Xiyue raised an eyebrow, her lips curving upwards in a half-smile as she asked.

A hint of cunning and curiosity shone in her eyes, as if she was eagerly anticipating the system's next response.

However, the system did not give her a definite answer as she had hoped.

[Um... cough cough, sorry, although I have saved some money, I might need to borrow from you again. After all, my funds are limited! And I only bought these things because of a discount promotion.]

It coughed a few times and explained somewhat awkwardly.

After saying this, the system visibly breathed a sigh of relief, as if afraid that Lin Xiyue would be unhappy or angry.

Faced with the system's straightforward and sincere attitude, Lin Xiyue was speechless.

"Okay, okay, I give up! But could you please stop spinning around like a top? You're making me dizzy and my eyes are about to give out!"

She rolled her eyes, sighed helplessly, and said.

To be honest, when she saw the system's new skin, which was so bad it was almost blinding, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of unease.

I have a feeling that this item is so unwanted that it can only be sold at a lower price to attract customers.

Even more coincidentally, at that very moment, their own stupid system successfully connected with the main system and triggered the discount event without fail.

This coincidence makes one wonder—perhaps the main system doesn't genuinely want to offer discounts, but is secretly pleased under the guise of discounts.

After all, this would make it easy to get rid of those unprofitable products.
