Compared to the other cssmates who were eagerly returning, Xanthia appeared unusually calm.
None of her cssmates knew that Xanthia was a child without a mother, and her father completely ignored her.
If someone knew this and imagined themselves in Xanthia’s position, they might feel particurly oppressed, unable to bear such a situation, thinking her life was too hard.
But for Xanthia now, she felt rexed and free instead.
After all, she had crossed over from a parallel world, and the complicated familia dynamics of her original self had always given her a headache.
When her own strength wasn’t enough, keeping a distance from such a prestigious familia, with its unknown number of connections, could actually make her safer.
On the contrary, outstanding individuals like Dionysios, shining brightly, could become thorns in the eyes of certain people. Internal struggles like this were common in any era or country.
Moreover, Xanthia didn’t care much about the concept of familia reunion during the Autumn Festival. In her past life, she disliked all kinds of social obligations and dinners. Even eating with retives made her feel as if her freedom was being restrained.
At these dinners, as an insignificant figure in the familia, she had to force smiles, make toasts, and offer wine... it was simply torture.
Now, however, after crossing over, by actively distancing herself from the Papadopoulos familia, not having any retives actually made her feel light-hearted. She didn’t have to care about any social interactions. During her free time, she could do whatever she wanted without wasting time on others. It was so much happier!
Xanthia could now maintain a mindset of treating this world like a game, which was very helpful for her to accumute happiness points.
However, she also knew that to maintain this kind of freedom, having an independent source of income was crucial.
Although she could still get some money from her original scumbag father for now, and she felt justified about it since her original mother’s inheritance had been swallowed by Demetrios, shouldn’t she get some of that back?
But, without foresight, there would be immediate worries. She had to prepare for the possibility of her scumbag father completely cutting off her financial support. However, at that time, Dionysios, her unremarkable little brother, would probably help secretly, but ultimately, wouldn’t she still be at the mercy of others?
Furthermore, in the future, if she wanted to find more fun and experience various joys and interesting things in this world, without money, she would inevitably be restricted.
Therefore, finding opportunities to make money was also on Xanthia’s mind.
With her current identity as a high school student, if she wanted to make money, it would definitely be through the internet. She thought about learning from her sisters in her past life who were good at marketing and making money by distributing benefits. However, this method was too discordant and prone to accidents. Once exposed, it could easily lead to social annihition.
Undoubtedly, compared to simply relying on her appearance or living on the edges, having more talents and skills meant having more possibilities. She could even be praised by others, saying that although she could make money with her looks, she insisted on relying on her own strength and wits!
Yes, making money with one’s own abilities was positive net gains. If she relied solely on her beauty, she might even be beled as objectifying women and face criticism.
So the question arose, how could she acquire more talents and skills?
The answer was simple, of course, through the system. Who said that delving into the system and completing system tasks didn’t count as an effort?
Xanthia casually refreshed the system task list at that moment, and sure enough, two "Holiday Limited Activity Tasks" appeared.
With her research on this task system over the past few days, she had also discovered some patterns. For example, as long as she went to pces she had never been to before, simir to exploring new maps in games, she would trigger new challenge tasks.
Obviously, the system encouraged her to travel around, to explore new areas and unlock new locations.
In addition to this, she also found that during certain holidays, "limited activity tasks" would appear. Completing these tasks during this period naturally yielded rich rewards.
Having pyed various second-dimensional mobile games, she was certainly no stranger to such "limited activity tasks." Mainline tasks and side tasks without time limits could be saved and completed whenever she wanted, but limited activity tasks were different. They had to be completed during the event period to receive rewards.
These two "holiday limited activity tasks"—one about "eating," and the other about "pying"—surprisingly aligned with her expectations.
Originally, Xanthia had pnned to eat, drink, and have fun during this long holiday, but she was still quite puzzled about how exactly to eat and py.
This wasn’t entirely her fault. After all, in her previous life, she had been a miserable office worker, exhausted from work every day. When it came to holidays, she only wanted to stay at home, py games, and sleep in.
Go out and have fun? Well, forget about it. That would only make her more tired and waste money. In the end, she would conclude that going out for fun was just spending money to seek trouble.
But now, she was a high school student. She didn’t feel tired at all in school. There’s a saying that once you enter the workforce, you’ll realize how beautiful and carefree your school days were.
Therefore, now that she rested well every day and had plenty of energy, she was still willing to go out and enjoy herself during the holidays.
In the limited activity tasks, the task about "eating" was divided into daily tasks and challenge tasks. The daily tasks were simple: just go to each restaurant marked in the task, check in, and enjoy the food.
As for the challenge tasks, they encouraged pyers to freeload!
Successfully enjoying delicious food without spending your own money was considered a success!
It had to be said that the system truly understood human nature. The happiness points gained from freeloading were indeed higher than those gained from spending your own money!
Of course, the system was also thoughtful. During these slightly more challenging event periods, the rewards for challenge tasks were just extra.
For example, in Mayhem Impact, the event tasks often give all the primogems at the simple difficulty level. Successfully completing the high difficulty challenge only gives a few more crystal ores and mora, which is quite disappointing.
In other words, if Xanthia didn’t complete this "eating" activity task through freeloading, she could still get the most crucial reward, which was to upgrade the "foodie" attribute to "gourmet" for free.
The "foodie" attribute was obtained by Xanthia after completing the "Clean Pte Campaign" task. Its function allowed her to enjoy food freely without gaining weight.
This attribute was simply divine for those who care about their figure but tend to gain weight easily. Eating as much as she wanted without gaining weight—so satisfying!
The "gourmet" attribute was even more awesome. It allowed Xanthia to have a "dimensional stomach." Even if she was already full, she could continue eating. The excess food she ate would be converted directly into reserve energy for her body. With this, she could even eat for ten days in one day and not feel hungry for ten days after!
The system specially noted that the reserve energy was stored in the chest. The more excessive eating, the rger the chest would become. But pyers need not worry, as the enrged chest would be perfectly shaped.
Xanthia couldn’t help but ugh. It was truly absurd. Was this chest a camel’s hump storing energy?
But if she had this "gourmet" attribute, wouldn’t she be able to control her breast size freely?
The abilities brought by this attribute were truly interesting!
As someone who enjoyed having fun, she really loved these pyful abilities!
And as for positive attributes like these, Xanthia had control over when to activate or deactivate them. If she wanted to activate them, she could. If she didn’t want to use them, she just turned them off. Additionally, higher-level attributes obtained after upgrading included all the effects of the lower-level attributes.
With this, even if she continued to upgrade the "gourmet" attribute to "foodie" or even the highest level "divine taste" in the future, she didn’t have to worry about causing herself trouble. If she didn’t want to use it, she could just turn it off.
