Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General C.168: Blind Box

Xuanyuan Sheng might never know even until his death, that his beloved younger brother, had been coveting his position for a long time.

Looking back now, the previous drowning incident to regain vision was likely a self-staged show by him, he had planned everything in advance.

She thought she already knew enough about the situation in Tianqi, but she didn't expect another prince who had been hiding for a long time.

"Princess, you rest well these days, I will always be by your side."

Murong Yan suddenly said, "Rong Sheng, I'm hungry."

"Your Highness, I will prepare a meal for you right away."

Looking at the busy man in front of her, there was a moment when Murong Yan felt times were peaceful.

Unfortunately, she eventually has her own duties, and these peaceful days, are only a few months left now.

Jing University, cafeteria.

Feng Qingyi and Shen Hanyue were lining up to buy meals. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Qingyi, how is your painting going? I remember the initial competition cut-off date is the end of this month." Shen Hanyue asked.

Feng Qingyi: "It's almost finished, I should be able to submit it in a few days."

"That's good, I think with your skills, you should definitely be able to score a prize." Shen Hanyue was very confident in Feng Qingyi.

Feng Qingyi sighed, "I whimsically looked at the list of contestants a few days ago."

"I think it would be great if I could get an excellence award, there are really many great talents this time!"

"I even saw a young painter I especially liked on the list."

"Qingyi, I feel like you've been more modest lately."

"Before, if you were to participate in such a competition, you would be brimming with confidence saying that you will secure the first prize."

Shen Hanyue had noticed Feng Qingyi's change quite a while ago, probably since last semester.

She seemed to become busy all of a sudden, and then moved out to live on her own.

Apart from class and meal times, she rarely had any contact with her.

Even the usual gatherings, she barely attended any.

She once thought it was because Feng Qingyi got a boyfriend, but her boyfriend was in a different city, so she couldn’t be on the phone with him all the time.

"Have I changed?" Feng Qingyi didn't feel it.

Shen Hanyue thought for a moment: "How do I put it! I just feel like you're not as confident as you used to be."

"But you're more mature and stable than before, overall, it should be a change for the better."

"...It's not that I've lost confidence, it's because I've matured." The more I learn, the more insignificant I feel.

Shen Hanyue: "I still don't know what keeps you busy every day, I can't even see you during the weekends, now you've evolved into a big homebody."

"I am studying hard at home!"

She wasn't lying, indeed, she was devoting almost all her waking hours to studying.

The time in the virtual classroom is the same as in real life, and she doesn't have any extra advantages.

It's all about learning gradually every day, but this learning speed just can't keep up with the speed of earning points.

Shen Hanyue: "Alright, alright! Then I hope you achieve great learning results, break free from Asia, reach the world."

Since it was Friday, after having lunch, Feng Qingyi bid Shen Hanyue goodbye and returned to the villa.

Looking at the finished intermediate martial arts and music courses, Feng Qingyi allowed herself a rare moment of joy.

After months of hard work, she was now somewhat accomplished and finally ready to embark on a new chapter.

The advanced painting course was nearing its end and could be completed in just a few more days, but her progress in the embroidery course was still at a standstill.

Feng Qingyi opened the mystery shop and noted that she now had 24,990 points.

Her recent contact with Qin Yuchuan had dwindled, resulting in fewer points earned.

But it didn't matter much to her, for she had already saved up quite a bit.

Examining the other courses in the level two shop, Feng Qingyi didn't feel inclined to start a new subject for the moment.

She had already completed the intermediate courses of music and martial arts and decided to proceed with their advanced levels.

Based on her understanding of the mystery shop, these courses should be available at different levels of difficulty.

The advanced courses for music and martial arts were supposed to be in the level three shop. To access the level three shop, she needed to complete all the purchases in the level two shop.

Upon calculation, Feng Qingyi spent 2,600 points to buy the remaining four courses.

Seeing the additional courses that appeared in the virtual classroom app, Feng Qingyi felt a hint of pressure.

With the level two shop cleared, the level three shop was officially open.

As expected by Feng Qingyi, the high-level martial arts and music courses were indeed available there, with a price tag of 1,200 points each.

After spending another 2,400 points to purchase these two courses, Feng Qingyi was about to put away her phone when she was drawn to five bizarre items in the level three shop.

These five items each were priced at 2,000 points, without any specific product description, and were represented by five large question marks.

Feng Qingyi gave a click, and the product description appeared: Unknown item, with a chance to reveal a rare gem.

This was essentially a mystery box, and Feng Qingyi was slightly intrigued.

She glanced at her remaining points and then at the courses in the virtual classroom.

She reasoned that she could always earn more points, and it would take quite a while to finish all the courses in the virtual classroom, so why not make the purchase!

Feng Qingyi, confident of her luck, believed that even if she didn't draw a rare gem, she might still find something nice.

After purchasing the first mystery box, a small piece of gold appeared on Feng Qingyi's table.

Looking at this piece of gold, Feng Qingyi momentarily wondered if it had come from the box of gold that Qin Yuchuan had given her.

Though it fell short of her expectations, it was at least money-accretive, and she hoped for something better with the next draw.

Feng Qingyi clicked to make the purchase, and what appeared before her was a one hundred-dollar bill.

She picked up the bill, examining it from every side, before confirming that it was just an ordinary hundred-dollar bill.

Just moments ago she had a nugget of gold, and now all she got was a hundred-dollar bill. Feng Qingyi was beginning to question her life choices.

Spending 2,000 points for a hundred dollars was a massive loss!

Nevertheless, Feng Qingyi remained determined to buy the remaining mystery boxes, as they were necessary for unlocking the next level.

Her expectations were significantly lowered. As long as the value of the items uncovered was comparable to the piece of gold, she would be satisfied.

Upon opening the third mystery box, Feng Qingyi was met with ninety-nine prickly roses. The roses filled up the entire table as soon as they appeared.

At this point, Feng Qingyi was utterly exasperated. What was she supposed to do with these flowers? Even if she were to put them in a vase, she'd have to arrange them all by herself.

Opening the fourth box, Feng Qingyi felt like the true epitome of ill fortune.

It was just a plain bag of cabbage seeds; ones she could buy at the seed store for only a few coins.

Now, only the last mystery box remained. Feng Qingyi put her hands together, praying that she would be able to draw something good for this last chance.

For the grand finale, Feng Qingyi pressed the purchase button with an air of solemnity. Amidst the table adorned with roses, a piece of paper emerged.
