Li Yue started beaming the moment she sent the video to multiple paparazzi sites. Then, she posted the same thing on social media sites. She also started posting more information about Lu Xinyi's elder brother.
The Lu Family might be influential but Li Yue was sure they would not be able to do anything once they realize that the IP address used to send all these videos was Mo Li's. After all, the Mo Family is considered to be higher than they are.
After posting other incriminating information about Lu Xinyi's brother, Li Yue watched as the progress of her side quest rose like a firework soaring through the sky.
[Side Quest: Make Lu Xinyi suffer. Quest Completed.]
[Reward: 100 coins.]
[Total Coins: 110]
A beautiful smile bloomed on her face. "Then, can I open the vending machine now?" Li Yue's eyes sparkled in anticipation.
[Unlock Vending Machine for eleven coins?]
"Yes!"
[Unlocking the Vending Machine. Progress: 10%… 45%… 75%…92%]
A hot, electric-like current pulsed in her temples as streams of information flowed into her mind. Li Yue frowned, shocked at the pain that unlocking the vending machine had caused her. This was, after all, the first time that she was able to unlock something in the system.
[Vending Machine Successfully Unlocked]
Li Yue's eyes widened. She focused on the space in her consciousness that used to be full of fog-like smoke obscuring her vision. Now, the smoke slowly moved to the sides, revealing a vending machine that was a foot taller than she was. It was just like the regular vending machine of Earth, except this one sparkled under her eyes. However, the smile on her face soon froze.
The only thing that she could see was the first row that was composed of four items.
[Item one: Invisibility Ability. Activation limited to when no one is watching. Ability will last for ten minutes. Cost: 25 coins.]
[Item two: Spatial Storage. Six by six inches. Cost: 25 coins.]
[Item three: Summary of plot- 100 words. Cost: 60 coins.]
[Item four: Invisible knife- 2 inches. Cost: 10 coins.]
Eh? What kind of vending machine is this? All of these are useless!
'Robot! This is too expensive!'
As expected, the Robot didn't even bother to acknowledge her anger.
'This is daylight robbery! A 100 words plot? What the hell is that? Invisibility if no one is watching? A space that is only six inches big? And a small invisible knife that is too expensive? What is this?' Li Yue really wanted to kick this robot. This system just doesn't make any sense at all!
She was really happy to know that she was able to earn a hundred coins but seeing the prices in front of her, Li Yue felt poor again.
[The items will upgrade every time you buy one.] The robotic voice suddenly echoed in her ears.
"So the space will become bigger and bigger? And the plot description will become longer and longer with each purchase?"
[Yes]
"Then… I will purchase the plot!"
[Purchase Item three: Summary of plot- 100 words for sixty coins?]
"Yes!"
She watched as the third item in the vending machine shone so brightly it almost blinded her. She immediately closed her eyes. When Li Yue opened her eyes again, the third item was gone. It was replaced with…
[Item three: Summary of plot- 300 words. Cost: 300 coins.]
"Huh? Why did it become so expensive?"
[Only the first purchase was discounted]
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!" Li Yue exploded. Once again, the system turned silent. In the end, Li Yue could only shake her head in anger as she opened the plot. When she arrived in a world, Li Yue was only given the basic structure of the story. She was informed that her mission was to stop the villain from killing the male lead. She was also informed of what will happen to Li Yue in the original plot.
Aside from that, she does not know anything else like the events that will lead the villain to murder the male lead. To Li Yue, knowing the plot is very important. It will serve as her plot armor!
[Mo Li will start falling in love with Li Weiwei during a camping before they graduate high school. Li Weiwei will save Mo Li from death. Mo Li would then vow to repay her, until he fell for her kindness. Soon after, he became obsessed. He tried to do everything to make her his but Li Weiwei only had eyes for Xia Jin. He will kill the male lead the night before Xia Jin marries Li Weiwei.]
"That's it?" Li Yue said. "I don't think that— "Before she could count the words, the message had already disappeared into her consciousness. She was sure that it was not a hundred words. Li Yue didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.
It seems that the system is not only useless. It also likes drama and loves to cheat!
Li Yue once again closed her eyes. She needed to control her anger. She could not let anger get the best of her every time this happens. 'Relax.' She chanted inwardly. She needed to think about this camping instead.
According to the '100-words' plot, Mo Li will start to like Li Weiwei during this camping. That actually makes sense. Unlike most of the students in the school, Li Weiwei grew up in a lower-class family that lives in a rather underdeveloped province. She must have gone camping once or twice already. Suffice to say, she must have had experience in first aid too!
That could be the reason why she would be able to save Mo Li!
'Hehe…. Then…. I'll be the one to save Mo Li instead!' she immediately concluded. If it turns out that she is not able to save Mo Li, she would make sure that no one else would!
'Hey, robot…. What will happen if I indirectly cause the death of the villain? I mean… Ehem.. Maybe I didn't stab him but instead let him bleed to death? Is that considered murder too?'
Silence.
'Hey, robot, if Mo Li dies, the lead will have his happily ever after. It's not like I wouldn't try to help him. I will do my best but if I can't do it, I'll just hide him so Li Weiwei won't be able to save him. Do you think that's fine?'
["…"]
