Chapter 74: Its Luck

The System replied a little helplessly, I think you can guess the Strength Fusions essence.

Jiang Pengji nodded. Even though she was exhausted, her mind was still awake due to her excitement.

Gene optimization, she replied confidently.

If Liu Lantings genes were predestined to give her a combat power of only 5, then after the fusion, that limit would be raised exponentially.

Since you know all this, then you should know how big the risks are. You nearly died just now! The System was frantic.

As a top-notch System, it had spent a long time with many different hosts. But none of them had been as stubborn as Jiang Pengji. When the other hosts experienced the painful fusion, they gave up.

As long as they had Popularity Points, there was nothing they could not buy.

Jiang Pengji smiled was not fearful. Of course it would hurt, but she was sure that she would not die from the pain.

If she werent as capable as she was, she would have been dead a long time ago.

Die? Nah. I think I feel pretty good now.

The System had a bad feeling. Did that mean that she wanted to continue with the fusion?

It was right. When Jiang Pengji was stubborn, nothing could persuade her otherwise.

10,000 points only gives 0.01%

Jiang Pengji pushed aside the Stats window and saw that her Strength Fusion changed from +30 to +31. She was a little disappointed. If she had known that the difference would be so little, she would have waited until she had more Points. She had learned her mistake.

The System chided, This is just the beginning. When your stats go beyond that of a normal human, the number of Points you will need will be far greater. And each time you start the fusion, the risks will increase as well.

Based on the Systems calculations, it would not be easy for Jiang Pengji to raise her combat level beyond that of a normal human.

I know this better than you. Jiang Pengji smiled.

No one better understood every reaction and pain that came from the gene optimization process better than her.

She had been a genetically enhanced soldier. For decades, she nearly died on the battlefield, and it was normal. To her, all the risks she took were worth the results she got.

She looked at her palms coldly. Her thoughts were calm.

Based on your current channel level, its impossible to gain that many Points, the System said.

Level one streamers could only have up to 3,000 viewers in their channels. Even if Jiang Pengji streamed every day with her channel full each time, she would only earn 1,500 Points. The chances of receiving likes, gifts, or even gaining a rich viewer were low.

The Points she would need for the second stage and even the stages of fusion after that would increase exponentially.

Making preparations wont delay the work. If you raise your streamer level by one or two, you will be able to receive ten times more Points and viewers per day. The System could not understand its host. Why was she so stubborn?

All she needed was a months worth of Points to increase her level. It was a pretty reasonable trade.

The System thought that Jiang Pengji would refute its idea, so it was surprised when she agreed.

Youre right. If I dont increase my level, I wont gain Points quickly.

The System was elated. Jiang Pengji had finally listened to it.

But its good mood did not last.

System. Which do you think is better? The half interaction or the full interaction stream mode? Jiang Pengji asked. The half interaction means that I have control over the stream. The full interaction would please my audience, but its easy to go overboard

Both stream modes were task types. The viewers gave ratings on whether they liked the task results or not. Then based on those ratings, the System generated gold, silver, or bronze chests. A chest granted random rewards; one of the rewards was a free level up card.

If the System had a body, its face would be sulky. You plan to rely on your luck to raise your level?

You have to believe in a smiling girls luck. Were normally lucky. Jiang Pengji gave a slight smile as her eyes danced with mirth.

Pissed, the System rebutted, Arent you being too overconfident in your luck?

The chance of getting that level up card from a chest was only one percent.

The System wondered again what it had done to get such a host.

My luck has always been pretty good. Jiang Pengji crossed her arms. Her damp hair hung loose and made her look kind. If my luck was that bad, how could I be here living another life after I had died?

The System was quiet for a long while as it contemplated how its new host was so vastly different from its prior hosts.

Huh, go ahead and be stubborn then, the System spat. An unlucky person will never know theyre destined to fail until they try.

Jiang Pengji was not bothered by the Systems words. Instead, she provoked it. Trust me. Im very lucky.

The System was angry, but it started feeling doubtful when it noticed her confidence.

Could she really be that lucky?

If she had no basis, she would not be confident enough to test her luck, right?

The rarer the chest was, the better its rewards were. And the chances of getting that level up card would increase as well.

If she could really get the best ratings from her viewers and discover the gold chest, she might be able to increase her level.

When the System thought about what its leveled up host could bring, it felt better. It decided to be more optimistic and look at the long-term goals instead.
