32. Why Are You Here?
“Ding, alert, Qiu Shui’s affection level towards the host has increased by 15 points. Current affection level has reached 300 points, reaching the affection level [Please modify the name yourself].”
Suddenly, while Miss Gong was still rubbing Qiu Shui’s head, the system immediately reacted.
And this reaction was not just a little bit.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for achieving the affection achievement with disciple Qiu Shui, obtaining 500 achievement points, and the host has unlocked more scene achievements and action achievements. The obtained achievement points can be used to purchase some items in the system store.”
Affection achievement store? What was this?
Gong Yiling was taken aback for a moment, but then she quickly reacted.
When the system was updated before, it did mention that the update focused on the affection system.
After the update was completed, she had checked if there was anything new in the affection system but found nothing special.
So… the updated thing was this achievement store?
With great curiosity, Gong Yiling, while pulling Qiu Shui forward, opened the store and took a look.
Well, although she was fully prepared, she almost spat out a mouthful of water when she saw the store list.
What was inside?
What came into view was a very familiar thing.
A Snickers bar.
This thing, which was known outside as “sweeping away hunger, infinite vitality,” was sold here for a full 998 achievement points.
It wasn’t because this achievement point was a highly inflated store, but because this Snickers bar was not an ordinary Snickers bar.
Item Name: Snickers
Item Effect: After using the entire Snickers bar, you can sweep away any hunger and thirst, and immediately restore all energy, nascent soul, and non-fatal injuries, and obtain the passive buff [Infinite Vitality], which lasts for fifteen minutes.
Innate Buff [Infinite Vitality]: In this state, you can ignore any kind of negative effects, including Gu arts, poisons, and all spiritual arts that affect the mental level. You will completely lose the sense of pain during this period.
The moment she saw this thing, Miss Gong instinctively glanced at how many points she had to squander.
It had to be said that this Snickers bar, compared to other pills, was too suitable for her.
Healing injuries, restoring energy and nascent soul were all small things. After all, Chuyue’s pills could do these things.
Only the last part of this infinite vitality buff, she had not found any similar effect pills until now.
If you really wanted to talk about gambling with her life, it was when the two cultivation techniques were running in her body at the same time.
At that stage, she was certainly not afraid of playing a little harder. Anyway, she had started with all her meridians severed, so it didn’t matter. It was just that when the meridians in her body were torn, the pain was far more terrible than ten times that of menstrual cramps (don’t ask her why she knew what menstrual cramps felt like).
This kind of pain, even if Guan Yu, who scraped his bones to heal his wounds, came in person, it would probably be difficult to bear, let alone her. It would definitely directly affect her reaction and concentration in all aspects.
Therefore, how important this loss of pain was, only Miss Gong herself knew.
And besides this Snickers bar, the goods in the store were dazzling, basically everything, from a one-time substitute for the recording stone to some lost cultivation techniques that looked a bit abnormal just by their names (such as [Hunyuan Xingyi Taiji Sect]), and there were even some clothes that didn’t seem to belong to this era.
Miss Gong, immersed in this atmosphere of buying, buying, buying, always felt that she should have something to do.
But… since she could still forget this matter, it meant that it shouldn’t be a particularly important matter, right?
In the end, she had spent all but one thousand of the six thousand achievement points she had saved after the update. Besides a Snickers bar and some strange props, she had specially gotten a new thing for the girl in front of her.
To commemorate the day this store was discovered.
“Little Qiu Shui!” Gong Yiling, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said, “Today is a good day!”
“Ah…?” Qiu Shui turned her head and looked at her, looking very confused.
“Today is the day to celebrate you walking here as the sect master of the Cloud Rainbow Sect.” Miss Gong quickly synthesized a reason in her mind that sounded quite plausible. “So, as your master, I’m preparing to give you a gift as a souvenir.”
This small excuse was undeniable, and the sudden gift would instead make people feel surprised.
Until Gong Yiling took out a set of clothes and placed them in Qiu Shui’s hands, a trace of… confusion immediately appeared on Qiu Shui’s face.
“This is… what?”
“It’s a gift from me.” Miss Gong very calmly spread the clothes out. It was a black and white maid outfit.
Eh, hold on, hold on. This maid outfit was not that kind of perverted underwear that would be written as 18+ when worn out, but a standard European-style maid outfit.
As for the cat ears on this dress and the matching cat ear headband, these things… Gong Yiling didn’t know.
There had to be some difference between the picture and the real thing. Miss Gong said that she could still eat this small loss.
And for this dress, although Qiu Shui was very confused about the cat tail ornament and the cat ear headband—people in this era didn’t play some tricks like this.
In general, this just looked like a short, separate long dress. It was just that the style and color scheme were completely new to her.
“Do you want to try it?” Miss Gong was sure that Qiu Shui would definitely not feel any shame and was even encouraging her on the side. “It should look very good on Qiu Shui, right?”
“Really?”
“How could I lie to you!” Gong Yiling was about to push Qiu Shui into an unattended alchemy room. After dropping this sentence, she even enthusiastically helped her bring the door up.
While waiting at the door, she was still fantasizing about what Qiu Shui would look like when she came out. However, as she was thinking, a hand suddenly patted her on the shoulder.
“Qiu—”
Miss Gong was about to call her name when she turned around, but the person in front of her was not Qiu Shui at all, but Yan Chuyue.
“What are you doing here?” Yan Chuyue, holding a bottle of what seemed to be a newly made pill, asked with some confusion. “You don’t even know how to refine pills. What, do you want to learn from me?”
Ah, this… ah, this, this, this—this was so embarrassing.
And what was even more embarrassing was that just as Gong Yiling was trying to find a random excuse to fool her, the door of the alchemy room was just opened, and the maid outfit Qiu Shui who walked out of it immediately shocked the great divine physician.
Others might not know what this outfit was, but would Yan Chuyue not understand?
