(This system mainly exists to amuse the mute female protagonist. It has a practical purpose, but it’s not strong and won’t interfere with the protagonist’s decisions. The protagonist controls her own destiny, so feel free to watch.)
“So, what should I do? To save the tragic heroine… Ah, no, to save myself!”
In her heart, Bai Ze spoke to the system.
She didn’t want such a strong sense of immersion, but since she’s already here, if she can’t resist, she might as well enjoy it…
The system’s female voice followed, still with a somewhat mature tone, but not dignified. It carried a hint of playfulness, like a big sister who enjoys joking around.
Now, Bai Ze couldn’t help but wonder. She hoped the system wouldn’t turn out to be someone who just loves to have fun.
“The one who saves oneself is always saved by others.”
“The system mainly serves as an auxiliary, but to truly change the original fate, it still relies on the host’s own efforts.”
“Ugh… I already know that. Focus on what assistance you can provide!”
“Alright, presenting the Save the Tragic Heroine System, hereinafter referred to as ‘Orange System.'”
“The main functional modules include: Daily Check-in Lottery, Shop, and the Coming Soon Explore the Area After Posting More Stickers section.”
“What kind of modules are those!”
“Similar to the function in pay-to-win cute mobile games. If you don’t draw enough characters, you can’t unlock it.”
“Enough characters… so, do you mean I have to stick with cute girls?”
Bai Ze suddenly felt like she was going to be forced into something she didn’t want.
“It seems the host’s intelligence is above the passing line.”
“Why do I feel like I’m being sarcastic…”
On the back of the unicorn, Bai Ze stole a glance at Ji Lian and continued her inner dialogue with the system.
“So, does that mean the only module I can use now is the daily lottery?”
As for the shop module, Bai Ze had nothing right now and couldn’t afford anything, so treating it as unusable wasn’t a problem.
The system responded with a positive tone, “Would you like to start today’s lottery, host?”
Bai Ze swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
She naturally chose “yes.”
The next moment, the lottery results unfolded before her eyes.
“Congratulations to the host for winning ten silver coins!”
“Silver coins… are they the currency in this world?”
Bai Ze wasn’t sure if this lottery result was considered good or bad. However, she couldn’t resist the allure of a freebie.
For herself, who had lost her source of income and personal freedom, the daily lottery might be the only way for Bai Ze to earn money from now on.
So, she was very concerned about the value and circulation attributes of these ten silver coins.
“It is, and it isn’t~”
The system’s words were as annoyingly ambiguous as usual.
As Bai Ze was currently dependent on the system, she could only suppress the urge to raise her voice in frustration.
“Is it or not!”
“Don’t… play games with me.”
“~”
Although she couldn’t hear the system speak, her mood seemed very pleased. Soon, the big sister system explained.
“When you decide to use it, it counts as internationally recognized silver coins in this world, comparable to the currency system you are familiar with.”
“One silver coin is worth about ten dollars, so ten silver coins are equivalent to one hundred dollars.”
“But I don’t recommend you doing that.”
“Because as long as you accumulate the money from the lottery, you can exchange it for rich goods in the system store.”
“After all, real-world currency cannot be exchanged for the currency within the system.”
Bai Ze’s eyes lit up. She understood the system’s intention.
The silver coins or other coins obtained from the system’s lottery were more valuable.
In case of an emergency in the real world, Bai Ze could reluctantly exchange them for universally accepted currency with corresponding value.
However, the reverse was not possible; real-world money couldn’t be exchanged for the system’s currency.
Even if Bai Ze became a wealthy elf heiress in the future, she still wouldn’t be able to afford items from the system store.
“Open the system store.”
Understanding all this, Bai Ze commanded.
The system store unfolded before her as she wished.
A dazzling array of magical items and precious goods entered her sight.
The final item, marked with an exorbitant price, stole all of the elf girl’s attention.
“The Elf’s Song Magic Medicine,” a legendary potion that could reverse all fates and cure the inherent dumbness of elves, known as Tian Que.
Tian Que referred to the congenital mute condition of elves.
Since elves relied on singing to perform magic, those with Tian Que couldn’t use magic.
No one knew what miracles would happen when an elf with Tian Que was cured.
However, the term “no one” could now be excluded, as Bai Ze clearly understood what incredible changes occurred in the original protagonist, Sherya, after being cured of Tian Que.
As for its selling price…
“A-ten thousand gold coins!?”
The staggering price of the magic medicine left Bai Ze almost speechless.
It’s worth noting that the top right corner of the system store marked the exchange system for the system’s currency.
It was straightforward: ten copper coins equals one silver coin, one hundred silver coins equals one gold coin.
So far, Bai Ze had only managed to gather one-tenth of a gold coin.
The price for the “Elf’s Song Magic Medicine” was a whopping ten thousand gold coins, which meant she was still far from reaching that amount.
Converting it into Bai Ze’s familiar currency system, the value of ten thousand gold coins was equivalent to… a staggering ten million!
Bai Ze couldn’t help but feel her heart bleed.
“This price… it’s too despairing! Just relying on the money from daily sign-in lotteries, it will take an eternity!”
“System currency can be obtained through other means as well, such as system tasks periodically released by this system.
Completing tasks can earn currency and items.
Another way is to use the method of ‘sticking to the antagonistic female leads,’ reversing cause and effect, changing the original ending, and saving the host.”
“The system will reward generous currency based on the good impression the antagonistic female leads have of the host.”
It’s worth mentioning that when the “Orange System” referred to rewards, the pronunciation of the word “generous” was particularly emphasized.
In other words, the path of earning currency by doing system tasks or manual labor was undoubtedly less effective compared to sticking with the antagonistic female leads.
By increasing their goodwill towards the host and then earning substantial rewards.
“…Turning enemies into wives, is that the only path available?”
Bai Ze mumbled to herself in her heart.
Then, she asked the system again,
“How can I find out about their goodwill towards me?”
“It’s not difficult. The host will gain an ‘Affection Observation’ skill with each daily sign-in, which can be stored.
Just concentrate on the other person, silently think ‘Affection Appraisal’ in your heart, and you can explore the antagonistic female leads’ goodwill towards the host!”
“That’s enough talking. Host, give it a try.”
“…”
Bai Ze quietly tightened her grip on the silver-white mane of the little unicorn.
Then, as if making a determined decision, she lifted her gaze from her lowered perspective.
Looking towards the gracefully walking Ji family illegitimate daughter, Ji Lian.
She was highly likely to be the younger sister of Ji Yu Su.
In the original work, there was a slight mention of her:
“She longed for her sister’s approval and closeness, but her sister always looked at her little slave.”
So, what kind of goodwill did she have towards Bai Ze?
Bai Ze gently bit her cherry-colored, enticing lips.
In her heart, she silently chanted, “Affection Appraisal.”
“Target: Ji Lian.”
