Chapter 5 Calendar and Year Calendar

"Who is she?" Chu Tong asked, puzzled. This puzzlement turned into wariness after a glint of light flashed in her contact lenses.

Just now, she casually checked the Pingkou Division's terminal and couldn't find the person in front of her among the nearby residents.

"The newly hired shop assistant is quite efficient." Chu Wuji noticed his sister's confusion and sent her a shortened version of the process of finding Gu Zixin using his brain.

So they were homeless people...

The wariness in Chu Tong's eyes lessened considerably; it was indeed difficult to find people with no fixed address in the system.

Most of these people are also orphans. Looking at Gu Zixin, who is the same age as herself, Chu Tong felt a little pity.

If it weren't for having such a capable older brother and the care of the neighbors, I would probably have ended up homeless and begging.

But... it's developed way too well! It's outrageous that a stray could grow this big.

After mentally grumbling a couple of times, Chu Tong finally accepted the new employee, giving her a friendly look before turning back to her brother.

"I heard recently that the department is going to evaluate us 'ability-possessing' officers, and the officers who receive outstanding performance reviews will be offered brain-computer interface (BCI) slots by the Security Bureau." Chu Tong lowered her voice, her tone tinged with excitement: "I think I can get one!"

Superhumans have special physical characteristics, and research shows that mechanical brain-computer interfaces implanted in ordinary people can interfere with or even inhibit the development of superpowers.

However, more advanced brain-computer interfaces are extremely expensive, which is why Chu Tong is still using a combination of "display contact lenses + external terminals," which is quite inconvenient to operate.

This internal incentive program is like a godsend for her.

"Mm." Chu Wuji nodded, naturally reaching out to ruffle his sister's hair. "Just do your best, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Our family... isn't actually short of money."

"Okay, I'm going to be late, so I'll go first!" Chu Tong nodded, took the breakfast that Chu Wuji had packed, and halfway there she remembered something and pointed to the plastic bamboo dragonfly on the table: "Brother, don't lose this again, I want to play with it again when I get back."

Chu Wuji's gaze shifted down to the bamboo dragonfly, a hint of nostalgia appearing in his eyes.

When they were kids, he often took Chu Tong to play with this thing. His skills were unmatched in the neighborhood. He could even precisely control the flight trajectory of the bamboo dragonfly in the air by adjusting the angle and force of his movements, making all sorts of incredible maneuvers. The group of kids regarded it as a divine skill, and he firmly held the throne of the king of the kids.

"You two siblings have such a good relationship. There aren't many sisters your age who can get their brothers to pat their heads." Gu Zixin watched Chu Tong leave and teased Chu Wuji with a hint of envy.

During their conversation, she realized that Chu Tong was a superpowered individual. If she had a brother like Chu Wuji, would she be able to live such a happy life?

People always romanticize the paths they haven't walked. Shaking her head to banish these fantasies from her mind, Gu Zixin looked at the bamboo dragonfly in Chu Wuji's hand: "What's this?"

"The bamboo dragonfly is a very old toy. It was hard to find one to buy more than ten years ago."

Chu Wuji sighed, realizing that the development of technology has indeed swept too many things into the dustbin of history.

For example, if he were to make a "six" gesture to young people to represent "making a phone call," probably no one would understand it.

He gently pinched his index finger and thumb together.

hum-

The bamboo dragonfly instantly gained kinetic energy, transforming into a blur as it soared into the sky. It gracefully circled once beneath the ceiling of the convenience store, and finally, as if it had a life of its own, it precisely floated back into his palm.

"Wow, it's flying?"

Gu Zixin curiously took the bamboo dragonfly and tried to rub it herself, but the blade instantly detached from the stem and hit her face.

"Wow! How did you do that?"

Chu Wuji couldn't help but chuckle and helped the other person reassemble it: "We're having guests again, so wait a bit before you play, and don't hit anyone."

"oh."

Turning his attention back to the system panel, Chu Wuji continued to ponder how to make money.

In addition to the linked gacha pool, the system also has a permanent gacha pool, which seems to incorporate elements from the real world, featuring superpowers, technology, and martial arts, and rotating with each version update.

The current version's permanent card pool is related to technology, and you can indeed make money by drawing cards and reselling items, but the odds are too unstable, and you can easily lose a lot of money if you're not careful.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Wuji finally focused his attention on a function he had never used before.

It was a calendar icon, which suddenly expanded and unfolded into two options as Chu Wuji selected it.

[Calendar: 300 Points/Month]

[Calendar: 1980 Points / 6 Weeks]

These are two typical long-term investment products, which, in Eryou's words, are "small monthly pass" and "large monthly pass" or "pass".

The "Calendar" mini-monthly card offers 50 points daily after purchase, making it a very cost-effective option.

The calendar, once purchased, will give you a new progress bar. Completing daily tasks will earn you progress bar experience. Each level up will grant you random prizes, including points. The prizes will vary depending on the version of the calendar.

In the past, Chu Wuji used most of his income to save money to buy awakening potions for his younger sister, and he lived a very frugal life, so he had never bought any.

Needless to say, even more expensive calendars are available.

But now, with the golden carrot of "Demon Slayer" hanging above his head, Chu Wuji felt a slight urge to try it.

Should we leave some money as a precaution against unforeseen circumstances, or go all in and invest it in the system?

There's no time for the calendar; the only bet is on whether the items from the annual calendar can be sold for money.

Chu Wuji's entire fortune is barely enough to buy one calendar. Should he gamble?

"Tsk, I've taken the bet!"

With a thought, Chu Wuji saw a long string of numbers plummet on the brain-computer interface of the online banking system. His savings balance of over 200,000 yuan was reduced to a pitiful four digits in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the calendar icon on the system panel was flipped open.

Day 1 (Rewards not yet unlocked)

Daily Task:

[1. Greet 5 NPCs (4/5 Incomplete)]

[2. Consumes 20 stamina points (Completed)]

[3. Conduct one effective training session (incomplete)]

"greet?"

I greeted Grandma Zhang and Uncle Chen this morning, then Gu Zixin and my sister from behind the alley, so there were indeed four of us.

One person is still missing.

Chu Wuji got up and went to the cashier, took the oden that Gu Zixin had just prepared, and handed the waiting students along with the drinks he had grabbed: "Good morning, congratulations on becoming our fiftieth customer today. Here's a complimentary drink. Have a wonderful day."

[1. Greet 5 NPCs (Completed)]

"Really?" The student exclaimed excitedly as he accepted the food and drinks. "Is this a new activity?"

"Hmm." Chu Wuji nodded without changing his expression.

He had no idea how many guests this was, but completing the task was the most important thing.

Moreover, a good excuse can easily turn into a real event.

The student who inexplicably became a "lucky customer" did indeed have a wonderful morning, provided there was no surprise test in class that day.

Chu Wuji looked at the completed items in the task list, his gaze falling on the last one.

"There's one last task left."
