The system's interrogation sent cold sweat trickling down Ji Xiaoli's back.
Since she started using the system, she had always gone for the most expensive items rather than the most suitable ones. Sometimes, she didn't even know what the things were. As long as the price was high and to her liking, she would pay in a hurry.
Anyway, it was all for the good - luck points!
But... it seemed that the good - luck points weren't "buying" her way anymore?
Ji Xiaoli swallowed hard and asked uneasily, "Um... Is this kind of consumption not allowed?"
She originally wanted to ask if "random spending" was not allowed, but she swallowed the words at the last moment and used a more normal phrase instead.
【Hehe. What do you think?】
... Sure enough, using a more normal phrase couldn't cover up the fact that she had been spending money recklessly.
【According to the system's detection, your consumption is filled with a large amount of meaningless and low - quality waste, which goes against the original intention of the rule of spending money to accumulate good - luck points. Therefore, a punishment has been imposed on the player.】
Ji Xiaoli's heart skipped several beats.
It had actually started the punishment mechanism when she wasn't paying attention?? And judging from what it said, it seemed that she had been punished for quite a while!
Ji Xiaoli was about to ask what the punishment was, but a chill had already crept over her body.
What the punishment was... wasn't it obvious?
In the past two weeks, none of her consumption had been recorded for good - luck points. What else could this be but the system's punishment?
The problem was... her consumption no longer increased her good - luck points, but the weekly good - luck point tasks were still being issued!
Ji Xiaoli asked again, looking completely confused, "So, is the punishment that my consumption will no longer be counted towards the good - luck points?"
【Hehe. How could that be? Now the system has formulated new consumption rules for players who try to cheat and pass off inferior things as good ones. As part of the punishment, the specific rules need to be explored by the player herself.】
New rules? Ji Xiaoli couldn't help but look at Zheng Nanfeng...
She suddenly realized something was off.
If meaningless consumption wasn't counted towards good - luck points, what about the money she spent on Zheng Nanfeng? Even the 2000 - yuan red envelope had been counted!
The system replied, 【That's different. All consumption paves the way for true love and is considered meaningful consumption.】
Ji Xiaoli: There's a swear word on my mind. I'm not sure if I should say it.
...
The system's definition of "meaningful consumption" really gave Ji Xiaoli a headache.
Wasn't her three - meal a day considered meaningful consumption? Weren't her purchases of clothes and bags meaningful either?
Holding on to a sliver of hope, Ji Xiaoli went to the mall and bought a pair of shoes that cost nearly 4000 yuan, replacing the sneakers she had worn for almost four years.
This should be considered meaningful consumption, right?
It was shoes! How essential! And she was replacing the sneakers she had worn for four years!
However, the moment she swiped her card, her heart sank.
The system didn't pop up a prompt.
The good - luck points didn't increase either.
Ji Xiaoli walked numbly around the mall with her old shoes in hand. She thought that now only spending money on her true love would be recognized as meaningful by the system.
Thinking so, Ji Xiaoli rushed into all kinds of men's luxury stores.
She followed her previous principle - go for the most expensive, not the most suitable! She bought everything from suits to watches, even ties, socks, and shoes.
Two hours later, Ji Xiaoli staggered out of the mall, out of breath.
This round of consumption had cost her nearly 300,000 yuan.
Strangely enough, the good - luck points still didn't increase. Did it mean that spending money on her true love was no longer useful?
Ji Xiaoli suddenly remembered the gold bracelet she gave to Zheng Nanfeng. The good - luck points didn't increase when she bought it, but they shot up after she gave it to Zheng Nanfeng by chance.
That meant that these things had to be delivered to Zheng Nanfeng and received by him in person to be considered consumption for her true love, right?
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoli immediately jumped into her Lamborghini and sped off towards the hospital.
Good - luck points, here I come!
