"Cui Si, let's break up!"

Cui Si looked at the man who had once vowed to love her. She could not believe how heartless he could be.

Cui Si turned to look at the middle-aged woman in the Rolls-Royce and cursed. "She's just a rich woman. Get out of my sight!"

The man got into the car and Cui Si watched as the car drove further and further away, tears rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably.

In the past six months, Cui Si seemed to have been abandoned by Lady Luck.

First, her car had been stolen and was never recovered. Then, she was framed by her colleagues and fired from the company.

Now, her boyfriend had ruthlessly dumped her for a rich woman!

Ring...ring...ring...

When Cui Si saw her father's call, she hurriedly wiped her tears and pulled herself together before picking it up.

"Hello, Dad, What's the matter?"

There was a moment of silence on the phone, and Cui Si instantly had a bad feeling.

"Cui Si, I went for a physical examination and found a tumor. Due to my old age, the doctor doesn't recommend surgery. So I can only undergo chemical treatment. But it's quite costly. Can you help me pay for some of it?"

Cui Si felt as if she had been struck by lightning. As expected, she was extremely unlucky. She no longer had a job and her mortgage and car loan had been weighing on her. Now, her dad had a tumor.

Cui Si was about to eat herself, but she still pretended to be calm and comforted her dad.

"Dad, don't worry. I'll think of a way to raise money for you as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Cui Si couldn't understand why her fate had taken such a turn. How could everything that could possibly go wrong start happening to her?

Ring...ring...ring...

The phone rang again. Cui Si thought it was her father calling again, so she quickly picked it up.

"Hello, is this Ms. Cui Si?"

"Your mortgage at our bank hasn't been paid this month. It's already overdue. Please pay it as soon as possible."

Cui Si hung up the phone before the person on the other end of the line could continue. She was running out of time and money, so it was better to find a new job as soon as possible.

Cui Si returned home by evening, exhausted from the day.

She had spent the entire day job hunting. But then she eventually realized that her company had released an industry-wide notice about her, which meant that no company within that industry would ever want to hire her.

In the end, she didn't manage to secure a job as she sat on the sofa dejectedly.

[Ding dong! Detected the host's desire for money. The system is activating, 10% ...]

"System? What system?"

Cui Si sat up immediately, but she only heard silence after that. She laughed at herself. She was starting to hear things.

[Ding dong! The system has activated.]

[This system is from the 27th century. Its full name is Golden Bookstore System. From today onwards, you are my host. You can simply obtain something from books just from reading them.]

Cui Si was a little confused. How was this possible? She must have heard wrongly. Lady Luck was no longer by her side.

Suddenly, she felt an electric shock through her hand that she had placed on the table. Then, she saw a high-end customized bento in the supermarket brochure on the table.

[Ding dong! Detected that the host has read the supermarket brochure. Reward: A 1,999 yuan high-end customized bento.]

Cui Si stared at the high-end customized bento from Nagoya, Japan, and was completely dumbfounded.

This bento had become a huge trend when it was launched. The starting price was 1,999 yuan. One of the ingredients used to make it was a Japanese A5 wagyu beef from black cattle.

Although it was very expensive, many people still bought it and only had praises for it. Cui Si could only listen to others as she couldn't afford it at all.

Cui Si swallowed her saliva as she opened the lunchbox with a trembling hand. Instantly, the aroma filled the air. Just the smell alone made one's appetite soar.

The fat and juicy A5 beef had been cooked perfectly. Cui Si picked up a piece and impatiently put it into her mouth. She could instantly taste its rich flavor.

"This tastes amazing! I've never eaten such a delicious steak lunchbox before!"

Cui Si ate the entire lunchbox and collapsed on the sofa in satisfaction. Her mind was filled with the taste of the deliciously juicy beef from earlier.

But when she remembered what had just happened, she immediately sat up.

"I can get anything I want simply by reading?"

She excitedly picked up a book and started reading again. She was really looking forward to what the system would give her this time, but after reading for a long time, there was no reaction at all.

Cui Si could not help but ask, "System, didn't you say that I could get anything from reading a book?"

[Apologies, my dear host, but you can only receive an item once a day. Please do not ask for more.]

Hearing this, Cui Si smiled awkwardly and quickly closed her eyes to sleep, looking forward to tomorrow's reward!
