Synopsis

Cui Si had been out of luck recently. Her boyfriend decided to get a sugar mommy and he dumped her. Then, she was framed by her colleague and lost her job. Plus, her car was stolen and has not been found yet. Not only that, but she was also facing the pressure of mortgage and car loans. Today, her dad called again and said that the doctors found a tumor in him and he needed a lot of money for treatment, therefore, he hoped that Cui Si could help. However, Cui Si almost ran out of money for food too! In the evening, when Cui Si returned home in exhaustion, a cheerful voice suddenly rang in her mind. [Hello master! I am your Golden Bookstore System. From now on, you will get something in a book through me every day!] "System? What is a system?" Cui Si asked suspiciously. At this moment, her hand on the table felt like it was electrocuted all of a sudden. She hurriedly retracted her hand and then saw a fragrant lunchbox next to the supermarket discount brochure on the table! [Ding Dong! The host reads the supermarket discount manual and is rewarded a lunchbox for dinner!] Cui Si, "!!!" The next day, after Cui Si woke up, she solemnly picked up a book. [Ding Dong! The owner reads the car magazine and is rewarded a new BMW i3!] On the third day, Cui Si stroked a thick book expectantly. [Ding Dong! The host reads the ancient coin illustration book and is rewarded with a Lady of Liberty silver coin!] Cui Si quickly opened the book to check and she found that this silver coin issued in 1913 was extremely rare. Currently, each coin was worth more than 3 million US Dollars. It was sought after by all coin collectors and was known as the king of silver coins! After a guffaw, Cui Si asked, "System, if I give you a photobook of a celebrity, will you give me that celebrity?" [Ding Dong!]

Chapter 1The Golden Bookstore system

"Cui Si, let's break up!"

Cui Si looked at the man who had once vowed to love her. She could not believe how heartless he could be.

Cui Si turned to look at the middle-aged woman in the Rolls-Royce and cursed. "She's just a rich woman. Get out of my sight!"

The man got into the car and Cui Si watched as the car drove further and further away, tears rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably.

In the past six months, Cui Si seemed to have been abandoned by Lady Luck.

First, her car had been stolen and was never recovered. Then, she was framed by her colleagues and fired from the company.

Now, her boyfriend had ruthlessly dumped her for a rich woman!

Ring...ring...ring...

When Cui Si saw her father's call, she hurriedly wiped her tears and pulled herself together before picking it up.

"Hello, Dad, What's the matter?"

There was a moment of silence on the phone, and Cui Si instantly had a bad feeling.

"Cui Si, I went for a physical examination and found a tumor. Due to my old age, the doctor doesn't recommend surgery. So I can only undergo chemical treatment. But it's quite costly. Can you help me pay for some of it?"

Cui Si felt as if she had been struck by lightning. As expected, she was extremely unlucky. She no longer had a job and her mortgage and car loan had been weighing on her. Now, her dad had a tumor.

Cui Si was about to eat herself, but she still pretended to be calm and comforted her dad.

"Dad, don't worry. I'll think of a way to raise money for you as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Cui Si couldn't understand why her fate had taken such a turn. How could everything that could possibly go wrong start happening to her?

Ring...ring...ring...

The phone rang again. Cui Si thought it was her father calling again, so she quickly picked it up.

"Hello, is this Ms. Cui Si?"

"Your mortgage at our bank hasn't been paid this month. It's already overdue. Please pay it as soon as possible."

Cui Si hung up the phone before the person on the other end of the line could continue. She was running out of time and money, so it was better to find a new job as soon as possible.

Cui Si returned home by evening, exhausted from the day.

She had spent the entire day job hunting. But then she eventually realized that her company had released an industry-wide notice about her, which meant that no company within that industry would ever want to hire her.

In the end, she didn't manage to secure a job as she sat on the sofa dejectedly.

[Ding dong! Detected the host's desire for money. The system is activating, 10% ...]

"System? What system?"

Cui Si sat up immediately, but she only heard silence after that. She laughed at herself. She was starting to hear things.

[Ding dong! The system has activated.]

[This system is from the 27th century. Its full name is Golden Bookstore System. From today onwards, you are my host. You can simply obtain something from books just from reading them.]

Cui Si was a little confused. How was this possible? She must have heard wrongly. Lady Luck was no longer by her side.

Suddenly, she felt an electric shock through her hand that she had placed on the table. Then, she saw a high-end customized bento in the supermarket brochure on the table.

[Ding dong! Detected that the host has read the supermarket brochure. Reward: A 1,999 yuan high-end customized bento.]

Cui Si stared at the high-end customized bento from Nagoya, Japan, and was completely dumbfounded.

This bento had become a huge trend when it was launched. The starting price was 1,999 yuan. One of the ingredients used to make it was a Japanese A5 wagyu beef from black cattle.

Although it was very expensive, many people still bought it and only had praises for it. Cui Si could only listen to others as she couldn't afford it at all.

Cui Si swallowed her saliva as she opened the lunchbox with a trembling hand. Instantly, the aroma filled the air. Just the smell alone made one's appetite soar.

The fat and juicy A5 beef had been cooked perfectly. Cui Si picked up a piece and impatiently put it into her mouth. She could instantly taste its rich flavor.

"This tastes amazing! I've never eaten such a delicious steak lunchbox before!"

Cui Si ate the entire lunchbox and collapsed on the sofa in satisfaction. Her mind was filled with the taste of the deliciously juicy beef from earlier.

But when she remembered what had just happened, she immediately sat up.

"I can get anything I want simply by reading?"

She excitedly picked up a book and started reading again. She was really looking forward to what the system would give her this time, but after reading for a long time, there was no reaction at all.

Cui Si could not help but ask, "System, didn't you say that I could get anything from reading a book?"

[Apologies, my dear host, but you can only receive an item once a day. Please do not ask for more.]

Hearing this, Cui Si smiled awkwardly and quickly closed her eyes to sleep, looking forward to tomorrow's reward!

She was the good girl with glasses, and she was his. — When Julianne Winters decides to move to the dormitory of the reputed University, she has everything planned so that she can complete her graduation and leave the place. But her plan is quick to catch fire from the moment the eyes of Roman Moltenore from senior year lands on her. And his appearance screams nothing but TROUBLE. "What rules?" Julianne asked with a frown as she read through the page. She was sure she hadn't seen any rules of the campus mentioned on their website. # 4. No using cell phones. # 12. Students should not roam outside the campus after eleven in the night. The further she read, the more bizarre it turned out to be. Her friend turned the page and then pointed at the last rule # 29. Listen to Roman Moltenore. "This is made up. Look, the last one is even written in pencil." Julianne couldn't believe that her friend from the next dorm thought she would fall for it. "And no phone?" "It is important you abide by all the rules. Especially number twenty nine," said the girl in a serious tone. "Remember not to get involved with Roman. If you happened to see him, run in the other direction. There is a reason why it is written down here." With the rules of the campus, she resorts to sending handwritten letters to her uncle. But who knew it would end up in someone else’s hand!

The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat!

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'

I read 10 chapters before I dropped this novel 😓. While the synopsis is interesting, the novel is not done so well. Detailed review below: • The FL randomly receives a system with an awesome power. It's really cool. Anything she reads can become a reality. So for example if she reads an article about an expensive car, she'll immediately feel car keys in her pocket and the system will tell her the car is ready to be driven in her parking space. This is limited to one item a day, but I mean, how awesome is that?! 🤩... It's too bad the system's personality is WHINEY 😑. I don't like this system. It keeps on threatening to unbind with her if she says anything bad. It's like a nagging child. Sort of takes away the awesomeness of the system. It also has no backstory. Like why did it appear? Why did it choose her? There are just not enough details given about this system. 👩🏻 The FEMALE LEAD: > She kinda sucks to be honest🤷🏽‍♀️. She's definitely not very intelligent. Or very likeable: > FL's dad is diagnosed with cancer but has no money for treatment. FL gets enough money from the system and sends it to her father. Now a normal person would go live close to their dad in this period of time ESPECIALLY SINCE she is now a millionnaire who doesn't work anymore so has a lot of free time; AND she has a system so she can get anything she wants. You know what this FL does? She decides to spend her free time going on double dates with her ex-boyfriend and his new sugar momma 🤯😖. I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND! You legit got an awesome system and are wasting your time with your ex 🤦🏽‍♀️. Her dad possibly dying is thrown into the part of her brain that doesn't work so well. From her actions so far that's a pretty big part 😒. > Honestly, the system is wasted on her. Instead of googling awesome stuff to have she resorts to magazines- not always getting what she specifically wants. 📚 I just do not like it. It's translated well enough but that's about the only good thing. A pity really. Such a great idea but not implemented well. Needs way more detail and backstory.
