Chapter 33: Shopping
Entering the Beast Language System's Shop, Xia Xin checked her current affinity points available for purchasing items. She had a total of 1,050,000 points.
Perhaps because Xia Xin was now a small internet celebrity with quite a few online fans, her Human Affinity points grew very quickly. In less than a month, she accumulated 1,050,000 Human Affinity points.
Xia Xin became increasingly aware that it would be challenging to keep a low profile after binding with this Beast Language System. Whether it was spending in the Shop, increasing basic stats, or upgrading her Beast Mastery, it all implied that she could not be an ordinary person anymore.
Carefully browsing the items in the Shop, Xia Xin finally found something that met her needs.
Item Name: The Twenty-Four Martial Arts Techniques
Description: An entry-level martial arts technique, easy to learn, beginners can master it within three months. It consists of twenty-four forms with endless variations. Upon mastering, the user can reach the level of martial arts proficiency.
Price: 400,000
The descriptions of "easy to learn" and "beginner-friendly" made Xia Xin very tempted, and the time investment required was not too long, which suited her well.
As for achieving martial arts proficiency, that had nothing to do with Xia Xin. She did not plan to become a martial arts master; she just wanted to be able to defend herself.
Xia Xin immediately purchased The Twenty-Four Martial Arts Techniques. Afterward, she bought a few other low-cost items from the Shop.
After deducting her balance, a beam of light floated toward Xia Xin. Her head felt a tingling sensation as the beam disappeared, and the complete contents of The Twenty-Four Martial Arts Technique were now in her mind, including descriptions of each form, practice tips, and combination techniques.
Xia Xin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease. She could have joined a real-world martial arts class like Karate or Taekwondo, but that would have consumed too much time.
Xia Xin had to work and also meet the requirements for her Beast Mastery. She simply did not have the energy for it.
With the items from the Shop, Xia Xin would directly acquire all the knowledge in her mind after purchase, without the need for additional explanation. All she needed to do was spend time practicing, which would be much more efficient.
Today, Xia Xin was too tired. She decided to start practicing the Twenty-Four Martial Arts Techniques tomorrow.
After purchasing the other items from the store, several floating spots of light appeared in front of Xia Xin. This unscientific scene startled her.
Fortunately, there was no one else around at the moment; otherwise, it would have been troublesome.
Xia Xin hurriedly reached out to catch those spots of light.
The spots of light transformed into tangible items in her palm. A Charming Elixir, a Basic Divination Talisman, and an Enchanted Puppet.
Xia Xin carefully examined those items, her face full of curiosity.
The Charming Elixir was a small porcelain bottle. The description said that once opened, the illusion gas inside could immediately spread. When ordinary people smelled the illusion gas, they would lose consciousness within three minutes and fall into a dreamlike state. The person holding the Charming Elixir would be immune to the gas, and one bottle could be used multiple times.
The Basic Divination Talisman could divine natural events within three months. The description explained the specific divination grammar and range. The talisman could only be used once.
The Enchanted Puppet was a worn-out-looking puppet. Once activated, it could gradually induce the designated target's body and mind to enter a puppet-like state, losing their ability to act and think. It could be used an unlimited number of times.
Xia Xin bought Enchanted Puppet because it could be used an unlimited number of times. This item was more expensive than The Twenty-Four Martial Arts Techniques, costing her 500,000 affinity points.
After buying all these items, her balance was down to 200,000 points, almost back to where she started the night before.
Xia Xin put away the purchased items, checked the doors and windows, and went to rest in her bedroom with peace of mind.
The next day, after getting off work from the zoo, Xia Xin went home to pick up Layle and then took him to Jing Mo's house.
Jing Mo probably would not be back until late today, and when he returned, he naturally would not have time to walk the dog. So, he informed Xia Xin in advance that she could take Bobo out today.
Arriving at Jing Mo's doorstep, Xia Xin entered the password on the smart electronic lock. After a beep, she pushed the door open and stepped into Jing Mo's home.
Although Jing Mo was a big celebrity, his residential area was relatively low-key compared to other wealthy individuals; it was just a luxurious villa area in the western district.
However, Xia Xin speculated that Jing Mo probably owned more than just this one property.
