NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29 Limited Activity Tasks
Compared to other classmates who were eagerly returning, Xanthia appeared unusually calm.
No classmate knew that Xanthia was a child without a mother, and her father ignored her completely.
If someone knew this and put themselves in Xanthia's shoes, they might feel particularly oppressed and unable to bear this situation, feeling that her life was too rough.
But for Xanthia now, she felt relaxed and free instead.
After all, she had crossed over from a parallel world, and the complicated family relationships of her original self gave her a headache.
When her own strength was not strong enough, keeping a distance from such a prestigious familia with its unknown number of connections could actually make her safer.
On the contrary, outstanding figures like Dionysios, shining brightly, would probably become thorns in the eyes of some people. Internal struggles like this were common regardless of the era or country.
Furthermore, Xanthia didn’t care much about the concept of familia reunion during the Autumn Festival. In her previous life, she disliked all sorts of social obligations and dinners. Even eating with relatives made her feel like her freedom was being restrained.
And at these dinners, as an insignificant figure of the familia, she had to force smiles, toast, offer wine... it was simply torture.
Now, however, after crossing over, because she actively distanced herself from the Papadopoulos familia, not having any relatives actually made her feel light-hearted. She didn’t have to care about any social interactions. During her free time, she could play however she wanted, without wasting time on others. It was so much happier!
Xanthia could now maintain a mentality of playing in this world like a game at any time, which was very conducive to her accumulating happiness points.
However, she was also very clear that to maintain this kind of freedom, having an independent source of income was also 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 all been swallowed by Demetrios, shouldn't she get some coins back from him?
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 cheap little brother, would definitely help secretly, but ultimately, wouldn't she still be at the mercy of others?
Moreover, 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.
And 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 the elder sisters in her past life who were good at burning and polishing, making money through distributing benefits. However, this method was indeed too discordant and prone to accidents. Once exposed, it was very easy to be socially annihilated.
Undoubtedly, compared to simply relying on appearance or eating at the edges, having more talents and skills meant having more possibilities. She could even be praised by others, saying that even though she could make money with her looks, she insisted on relying on her strength and wits!
Yes, making money with one's own abilities was positive energy. If she relied solely on her beauty, she might even be labeled 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 delving into the system and completing system tasks didn't count as an effort?
Xanthia casually refreshed the system task list at this time, 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 places she had never been to before, similar 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 some holidays, "limited activity tasks" would appear. Completing these tasks during this period naturally yielded rich rewards.
Having played 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 done whenever she wanted, but limited activity tasks were different. They had to be completed during the event period to not miss out on rewards.
These two "holiday limited activity tasks," one is about "eating," and the other is about "playing," surprisingly align with her expectations.
Originally, Xanthia was planning to eat, drink, and have fun during this long holiday, but she was still quite puzzled about how exactly to eat and play.
This wasn't entirely her fault. After all, in her previous life, she was just a miserable office worker, exhausted from work every day. When it came to holidays, she only wanted to stay at home, play 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 find that your school days were so beautiful and carefree.
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" is divided into daily tasks and challenge tasks. The daily tasks are simple: just go to each restaurant marked in the task, check in, and enjoy the food.
As for the challenge tasks, they encourage players to freeload!
Successfully enjoying delicious food without spending your own money is considered a success!
It has to be said that the system really understands human nature. The happiness points gained from freeloading are indeed higher than those gained from spending your own money!
Of course, the system is also thoughtful. During these slightly more challenging event periods, the rewards for challenge tasks are actually 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 is to upgrade the "foodie" attribute to "gourmet" for free.
The "foodie" attribute was obtained by Xanthia after completing the "Clean Plate Campaign" task. Its function allows Xanthia to enjoy food freely without gaining weight.
This attribute is simply divine for those who care about their figure but tend to gain weight easily. Eating as much as she wants without gaining weight, it's so satisfying!
The "gourmet" attribute is even more awesome. It allows Xanthia to have a "dimensional stomach." Even if she's already full, she can continue eating. The excess food she eats is directly converted into reserve energy for her body. With this, she can even eat for ten days in one day and not feel hungry for ten days after!
The system specially notes that the reserve energy is stored in the chest. The more excessive eating, the larger the chest will become. But players can rest assured, as the enlarged chest will be perfectly shaped.
As the "Princess of Peace," Xanthia couldn't help but laugh. It's really absurd. Is 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 are truly interesting!
As someone who enjoys having fun, she really loves these playful abilities!
And as for positive attributes like these, Xanthia has the control to activate or deactivate them at will. If she wants to activate them, she activates them, and if she doesn't want to use them, she just turns them off. Additionally, higher-level attributes obtained after upgrading will include all the effects of lower-level attributes.
With this, even if she continues to upgrade the "gourmet" attribute to become a "foodie" or even the highest level "divine palate" in the future, she doesn't have to worry about causing herself trouble. If she doesn't want to use it, she can just turn it off.
