“Speed learning?” Jiang Pengji frowned.

System: “It’s like a skill book that allows you to learn something fast. The System Mall has just gone live.”

Jiang Pengji saw a few blinking icons on the side of the large stream screen. She had been wary of the System and therefore had not tried exploring the different features and functions.

When she opened the Mall, it switched over to a new interface that displayed different item icons: Chinese lute, chess, book, painting, embroidery, tailoring, the art of tea, swordsmanship, kitchen skills, legwork, horsemanship…

Each skill had four additional tags after it: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Master. Each level required different amounts of popularity; the highest Master level required a huge volume of viewers!

Fortunately, the Beginner level only required 1,000 popularity points. With what she had earned so far, she could redeem one Beginner level skill.

Jiang Pengji frowned. If she redeemed those skills, would that mean she would be a beginner at them?

System: “I saw that you were having difficulty learning the old ways, so I used my own funds to open the System Mall function for you.”

If the System had a face, Jiang Pengji was sure it would be looking smug.

“I see you have been coveting my account’s popularity points.” Jiang Pengji laughed in spite of herself.

The System could not deny it. The popularity points were like real gold and silver to it.

After looking at the range of tempting items, Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes and closed the Mall window.

“I think calligraphy is interesting. I should practice it. You can continue envying my account’s popularity points.”

System: “!$%#”

“I should keep the points for a rainy day instead of spending them now. I might need to use the points for something even better in the future,” Jiang Pengji replied.

The System hmphed. “You don’t have to be so frugal. As long as you stream every day and have 3,000 or more viewers, you can earn at least 1,500 points. That could buy one skill book. You don’t have to go through such trouble just to learn.”

And if you get a really rich viewer, you could quickly earn even more points.

Jiang Pengji totally saw through the System. “You’re still trying to lure me with promises. You want me to stream, but the number of viewers seems to be at a limit of 3,000… Hey, don’t tell me I need to increase that limit with points…”

“You’re wise,” the System exclaimed excitedly. “A rank one streamer needs 10,000 points to reach rank two.”

If Jiang Pengji’s streamer rank was higher, her channel would allow more viewers to watch, and that would mean more popularity.

Jiang Pengji secretly rubbed her brows. This System’s methods are too complicated.

“I can only use points to increase my rank?”

“Not really,” the System replied after some careful thought. “There’s another method. But it depends on some factors.”

As a perfect dimensional streaming system, it contained a variety of interesting functions and features in addition to streaming.

Jiang Pengji was intrigued. “What’s the other method?”

“The System has four different streaming modes. One is freestyle, which is what you’re doing now. You stream whatever you want.

“The second type is interaction. You create a poll and let the audience vote for the content they want to watch. After your stream, you can receive gold, silver, or bronze chests based on your audience’s satisfaction. You get random rewards when you open a chest, and one of those rewards is a card that allows you to raise your rank for free.”

Jiang Pengji nodded her head, signifying to the System that it should continue with its explanation.

“The third is also interaction, but the audience chooses and starts a poll on the type of stream they want to watch. The content has to be entertaining, but it has to adhere to the rules… The rewards are random, and you can also get a rank card from the chests.

“The last one is a specific stream mode. A rich audience sets the stream content. After you’re done streaming, you’ll get the reward that the audience has set and a gold chest.” The System sounded like it was about to drool.

“You can delete the last one that lacks moral integrity.” Jiang Pengji raised an eyebrow.

The System replied, “Who said that it lacks integrity? My previous host loved that mode.”

“Obviously I’m not your previous host.” Jiang Pengji sneered.

“You can’t be sure that you won’t like it. Why not try it out first?” The System was trying to bargain.

“I think a really rich person would like that kind of spending… Start a task every day and give out some money like bait… Using this method to train the host into the type they like… Tell me, how is this different from training a dog?”

The System was stuck. Its host was about to flip out, and it hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.

“My darling host, please don’t be angry! These modes were preset before my time, and I’m just informing you about them. And these modes require your agreement too! We won’t force you if you don’t want to!”

The System felt like crying. It was so unlucky to have such a troublesome host. Anything could set her off, and she was always scowling… The System wanted human rights and fair treatment!

Jiang Pengji and the System had only been in contact for two days, but the System felt like two years had passed.

How am I to survive this!

Whatever the System was thinking, Jiang Pengji was too lazy to care. She went to sleep had a good, dreamless rest.

The next day, Jiang Pengji started streaming as she rode the horse carriage to school. The channel gradually filled up with viewers. Most of the viewers followed the channel, so they received notifications the moment she started streaming.

Host V: “Morning, everyone (*^__^*)”

After Jiang Pengji sent her morning greeting, the viewers returned with their various greetings from their timezones. Without further ado, she started asking the viewers for their suggestions.

Host V: “What sort of content do you want to watch?”

Toudu Feiqiu: “You should learn the Chinese lute, chess, calligraphy, or painting. Let me follow you and learn something… Then I can go show off a little.”

Da Zhuangzhu Furen: “How about reading? I wonder what the stories from the olden days are like. Will there be stories about overbearing scholars falling in love with me, or overbearing young masters falling in love with me, or overbearing teachers falling in love with me? I don’t mind those… hahaha.”

Fenhai Kuangqu: “Visit brothels, have a drinking party with some female entertainers, and enjoy your time with a famous courtesan…. And then with the girls…hehehe…”

Jiang Pengji: “…”

Did that last young man know how dangerous his thoughts were?

But… Jiang Pengji quite liked that suggestion.
