The daily life of a peasant girl taking the imperial examination

"Ding! 1000 points deducted, lottery begins."

Zhuge Yunshu: d(?д??)

"Wait, system, explain this to me. Why do I lose points for drawing a prize? And why so many?" Zhuge Yunshu went from being shocked to looking pained.

No one knew that her heart was bleeding at this moment. The thousand points she had just earned had been ruined by the system without her knowledge.

The system is absolutely incompatible with her.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it; that's just how the system works."

"Why wasn't the first prize deducted?"

"The first time you were a penniless wretch, the system took pity on you and gave you this for free."

"By the way, host, we need to broaden our horizons. There are more surprises to come, and the rewards will definitely be plentiful."

"Besides, it's a lottery chance, you might only get one once in decades. If the host is lucky, they might even win a reward that's a level higher..."

Zhuge Yunshu: "..."

Although the system kept babbling on and on, which was annoying, she had to admit that she was convinced and even looking forward to it. "Let's continue!"

Then I heard the system playing "Good Luck Comes".

Zhuge Yunshu: ←_←

Sure enough, you can't have any expectations of the system; this thing is out of its mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 10 points, 10 IQ points, 10 talent points, 10 skill points, 1 Mind-Reading Card (can hear others' inner monologues, usable only on one person), 1 Information Card (also known as the Ultimate Paparazzo Card, exclusive scoops, usable only on one person), 1 Gender Card (can change gender at any time, essential for spies, valid for three days), 1 Appearance Card (can change appearance or impersonate someone else's appearance at any time, essential for spies, valid for three days), 1 Voice Card (can change voice at any time, essential for spies, valid for three days), and 1 Super Strength Card (usable only by the host, permanent!)."

Zhuge Yunshu: "..."

The dog system really didn't lie to her! This lottery opportunity is too generous. Apart from the first 10, the other three 10s are just so cute!

Zhuge Yunshu stared in shock at the six cards that appeared behind him.

Is this world still a normal world?

Psychological spying, gender alteration, appearance alteration, voice alteration, and even superhuman strength—what kind of nonsense is this? Is this something a normal world should have?

Especially the psychological spying card, just hearing the name makes it sound perverted.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Host, what incredible luck you've had! You've drawn so many items that are way above your level, especially the Mind Peeping Card and the Super Strength Card. You can only see those when the system reaches level five."

Seeing how excited the system was, Zhuge Yunshu was now certain that those cards were all good items.

That's five levels higher! What does that even mean?

Her current system doesn't have levels. She asked the system before, and it said that if she wanted to level up, she needed points. Level five was simply unimaginable.

"Good heavens!" Zhuge Yunshu suddenly thought of a possibility and quickly asked:

"System, is this world a fantasy world? We're in the mortal realm, so if there's a mortal realm, there must be a celestial realm, a demon realm, a monster realm... Ah, and there's no ghost realm either, right? I'm most afraid of ghosts."

The more Zhuge Yunshu thought about it, the more she felt she had figured out the truth, and she suddenly had another bold guess.

"System, you're not some spy sent from an interstellar plane, are you? Planning to use advanced technology to destroy this cultivation world and make it your spoils. The first step is to control the mortal realm and find a puppet, and I'm that puppet..."

System: →_→

How many novels did this brain-dead host read in her previous life? Cultivation novels, supernatural novels, interstellar novels, and quick transmigration novels were probably all included.

This imaginative idea really opened its eyes.

Seeing the host still babbling on and on, the system quickly interrupted, "This is a normal world. If anything is abnormal, it's you."

"What do you mean?" Zhuge Yunshu was puzzled. Why was he acting so strangely?

"Are you a normal person, someone who was reborn and possesses this system?"

Zhuge Yunshu: "..."

That makes sense; she really does seem a bit off.

"Can these cards be used in this normal world? What if some world consciousness discovers our bug and then wipes us out?"

System: ╯▂╰

Exhausted! ! !

"Let me emphasize again, this is a normal world, it's just that you're not a normal being, so you can use those abnormal things, okay, understand?"

Oh my god, it got so angry that it spat out English words.

Zhuge Yunshu: "..."

She swore she understood.

"How do we use these cards?" Zhuge Yunshu asked, puzzled.

"For example, with the Mind Spying Card, you find someone you want to use it on, look at the card, think about that person's appearance and silently say that person's name, and when the card disappears, you have successfully used it."

Zhuge Yunshu imagined the scene: on a pitch-black night, a young girl stared intently at a card, silently reciting the name of the person she wanted to spy on and imagining their appearance. Then, replacing the girl with herself, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

Oh my god, I can't think about it anymore, it's so disgusting and lewd.

Judging from its host's reaction, the system was definitely imagining something extraordinary again.

Suddenly, I felt a surge of anger. "What nonsense are you thinking about now? Be serious."

Zhuge Yunshu quickly admitted his mistake, "Alright, alright, you can continue."

"Except for the Super Strength Card, all other cards are used in the same way."

“Using the Superpower Card is much simpler; just stick it on yourself, and it will disappear when you’ve successfully used it.”

"Do these cards have any side effects? Let me tell you, we can't do anything that harms ourselves or others," Zhuge Yunshu emphasized his position.

"No!!!"

Hearing this answer, Zhuge Yunshu felt much more at ease.

"System, I'm not going to be a spy, so why are you giving me so many of these cards?" Zhuge Yunshu asked, puzzled.

"It's not like you can only use it when you're a spy. Just be flexible, host. Besides, the lottery is random, who knows what you'll get?" the system explained seriously, though it was actually a little guilty.

That makes sense, but for some reason, Zhuge Yunshu always felt something was off.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. "System, add all attribute values ​​and check the information bar."

"Okay!"
