Chapter 67 Upgrade completed!

Back home.

Ye Fan reheated the leftovers from lunch and ate a simple meal.

After taking a shower and lying in bed, he checked the time. It was only 8:10 p.m.

There were still thirty minutes until the system upgrade was complete.

With nothing to do, he got out of bed and went to the living room. Looking at the cherry blossom tree painted on the wall, a faint smile appeared on his face.

He seemed to see Ning Xi's shadow in it.

He took out his phone and flipped through the photos he had secretly taken during the day...

Could taking photos of his own girl be considered secretly taking photos?

Of course not!

It could only be considered as... secretly taken photos~

Her perfect side profile, bathed in the warm yellow light, the peaceful atmosphere.

Beautiful!

Ye Fan set the photo as his phone wallpaper, so he could see Ning Xi all the time.

The brightly lit living room was quiet.

He looked at the cherry blossom tree on the wall, then at his phone wallpaper. He couldn't help but recall the scene of holding Ning Xi's hand during the day.

In conclusion, today was a huge win!!!

And he had somehow become Ning Xi's tutor, getting paid to chase his wife...

Unable to contain himself, Ye Fan burst into laughter.

With this kind of luck, should he buy a lottery ticket?

If anyone else saw this scene, they would definitely think Ye Fan was insane.

Why was he laughing so creepily for no reason?

Time ticked by, and finally, at 8:40, the long-awaited voice sounded in Ye Fan's mind.

"Ding—"

"System upgrade complete. Merit Point system activated. Merit Shop opened."

"Merit Shop? What's that?"

Ye Fan quickly brought up the attribute panel.

[Host]: Ye Fan

[Knowledge]: Level 3 (0/2000)

[Intelligence]: Level 3 (0/2000)

[Strength]: Level 3 (0/2000)

[Medical Skills]: Level 3 (0/2000)

Seeing that the attribute panel hadn't changed, Ye Fan was dumbfounded.

Where was the Merit Shop?

"System, system, don't you think you should explain things to your host?"

System: "What explanation does the host require?"

"..."

Ye Fan's eyelids twitched, and he asked patiently, "Isn't the Merit Point system activated now?"

"How do I get Merit Points?"

"And what about the Merit Shop? Where is it?"

System: "Sorry, I forgot about that."

"..."

The corner of Ye Fan's mouth twitched. He was speechless.

This...

Was a bit unreliable, wasn't it?!

System: "The Merit Point system is activated. Every time the host does something beneficial to society, the system will evaluate it. There are seven levels of evaluation from highest to lowest: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, and D."

"Different evaluation levels correspond to different amounts of Merit Points rewarded."

"SSS level rewards 10,000 Merit Points, SS level rewards 5,000 Merit Points, S level rewards 2,500 Merit Points, A level rewards 1,000 Merit Points, B level rewards 100 Merit Points, C level rewards 10 Merit Points, and D level rewards 1 Merit Point."

"Merit Points can be exchanged for corresponding skills and items in the Merit Shop. The Merit Shop refreshes every day at midnight, with three skills and items on sale each time. By consuming Merit Points, you can redeem the corresponding skills and items."

"As for the question of where the Merit Shop is, please take a closer look at the attribute panel, host. My explanation is complete."

Ye Fan focused on the attribute panel in his mind and carefully examined it. Suddenly, he saw a "Merit Shop" icon in the lower right corner.

Awkward.

So it was here?

Couldn't the icon be a little bigger???

Sigh!

Ye Fan clicked on the icon with his mind, and the attribute panel instantly transformed into a display resembling store shelves. Three items were floating on the shelves, each with a description below.

Cashback Card: After using it, the amount spent within one hour will be returned to the host's bank account tenfold. The source of the funds is absolutely safe.

Restriction: If the total amount spent within one hour exceeds one hundred million yuan, the Cashback Card will only return tenfold the amount up to one hundred million yuan, regardless of the excess.

Price: 100 Merit Points!

"Hiss—"

After reading the description of the first item, Ye Fan couldn't help but gasp.

Awesome!

He couldn't think of any other words to describe it.

Tenfold cashback?

If he spent one hundred million yuan, he could instantly get ten times the cashback, which meant he could get one billion yuan!

With this, who would need to play the stock market?

But then Ye Fan looked at his Merit Points and sighed helplessly.

Well!

He didn't have any...

He would just have to feast his eyes for now!

He then turned his attention to the second item.

Lucky Card: After using it, the host's luck will be increased a hundredfold for one hour.

Restriction: Cannot be used for gambling.

Price: 100 Merit Points!

Finally, the third item was a glowing orb. Ye Fan couldn't see what was inside and could only read the description below.

Skill: Basketball Mastery.

Skill description: Improves the user's basketball skills to the average level of a provincial basketball player.

Price: 200 Merit Points!

After reading the three items, Ye Fan's thoughts returned to reality. After a brief moment of excitement, he quickly calmed down.

Becoming stronger was a good thing, but for him, the people around him were the most important.

After being reborn, he only had two goals:

To be with Ning Xi forever, and to cure his mother's illness in advance!

As for power, money, and fame, these held no attraction for someone who had lived another life.

......

The sunlight shone on the classroom windows, like golden dust sprinkled on them, sparkling brilliantly.

The students were all diligently reviewing their studies. Chinese teacher Pang Qiuping paced back and forth in the aisle, two large characters written on the blackboard:

Graduation!

This was the topic Pang Qiuping had given, asking all the students to write an essay about "graduation" to test their writing skills.

Essays were a very important part of the Chinese language exam!

Out of the 150 points for the Chinese test paper, the essay alone accounted for 50 points. Yet some students were particularly bad at writing essays.

This was absolutely unacceptable to Pang Qiuping!

As he walked around the classroom, Pang Qiuping came to the last row and saw Ye Fan engrossed in reading "The Theory of Relativity". His eyelids twitched.

He tapped his fingers on the desk and asked in a low voice, "Ye Fan, it's Chinese class now, you..."

Ye Fan put down the book, took out a piece of paper filled with writing from his desk drawer, and nodded politely at Pang Qiuping.

"Teacher, I've already finished writing. I'm reading so I don't disturb the other students."

Ning Xi's hand paused, and she glanced at Ye Fan, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"You've finished writing?"

Pang Qiuping picked up the paper with a skeptical look and started reading.

Youth

What defines youth is not age, but mindset.

Youth sees the spring breeze with indifference, hears the summer cicadas without annoyance, feels the autumn wind without sadness, and touches the winter snow without lament...

"Hiss!"

The more Pang Qiuping read, the more amazed he became. The 500 words on the paper formed vivid images that appeared before his eyes.

A few minutes later, he slowly put down Ye Fan's essay, his face full of admiration.

"What a wonderful essay!"

"You flatter me, teacher. My writing still has many shortcomings."

Ye Fan wasn't complacent. His humble demeanor made him even more charming.

Ning Xi secretly glanced at the essay and quickly lowered her head, her delicate white earlobes turning slightly red.

So handsome...

Should she... take another look?

Just one glance, just one more.

The girl's clear eyes shifted slightly, just in time to meet Ye Fan's gaze, making her quickly lower her head again.

Her adorable reaction filled Ye Fan's eyes with amusement.

"Good, you can continue reading, but don't disturb the other students."

With that, Pang Qiuping continued his patrol. Ye Fan's essay was too amazing, such a student was truly rare.

Reading extracurricular books?

It didn't seem unacceptable...

After Pang Qiuping left, Ye Fan nudged Ning Xi gently with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you today? Why are you acting so shy? Is something bothering you?"

He had felt that Ning Xi was acting a little strange since this morning, occasionally stealing glances at him.

"N-no, nothing."

The girl's voice was very low, carrying a hint of shyness.

Ye Fan pursed his lips and said, "Just tell me, you don't have to be so polite with me."

"I'll... I'll tell you during lunch. I... I have to write my essay now." Ning Xi replied.

"Okay."

Ye Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, curiosity filling them.
