Qiu Yingying is reborn and bound to a learning system.

Qiu Yingying was still downstairs feeding the kitten treats.

Qu Xiaoxiao patted the dust off her pants, then suddenly seemed to remember something, her eyes lighting up: "Wait a minute, I have a box of imported chocolates in my room, a gift from a friend. I don't like sweets, could you take it to 2202 for me as a greeting gift for the new neighbor?"

As she spoke, she turned and ran towards the stairwell. A moment later, she came down again carrying an exquisite gift box and shoved it into Qiu Yingying's hand: "Just take it, don't be polite with me."

Qiu Yingying accepted the gift box and thanked her with a smile. After Qu Xiaoxiao entered the elevator, she finished feeding the cat and then carried the things home, thinking about returning the favor. This time, she was no longer the young girl who had no money after paying the rent; she was well-off and wanted to pick out a small gift for Qu Xiaoxiao.

As soon as she entered, Qiu Yingying silently opened the system warehouse, her fingertips sweeping over the dazzling array of items before quickly locking onto the cat figurine. It was a white porcelain calico cat and a black and white cat snuggling together, their round bodies attached to a storage box. The cat tilted its head, looking adorably clumsy. It was a gift from the system's daily check-in service, and she hadn't been able to bear taking it out.

With a thought, Qiu Yingying placed the ornament steadily in her palm. She found a pretty little box, carefully put the ornament inside, greeted Guan Juer, and then ran downstairs to knock on the door of 2203.

The door opened quickly, and Qu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow when she saw the gift box in her hand: "Oh, you even brought a return gift?"

"It's just a small token of my appreciation," Qiu Yingying said, handing over the gift box. "This is a cat figurine; it looks quite cute, and I thought you'd like it."

Qu Xiaoxiao opened the gift box and paused when she saw the white porcelain calico cat. She gently touched the cat's head with her fingertips, a faint tenderness flashing in her eyes. She quickly composed herself, raised her chin, and smiled, "Good taste. Alright, go back now. I'll call you when I feed the cat another day."

Qiu Yingying watched her close the door, feeling a warm glow in her heart. She turned and walked towards 2202, her steps becoming lighter.

As soon as Qiu Yingying pushed open the door to 2202, she rushed into the room holding a box of chocolates and shouted, "Sister Fan, Guan Guan, this is a gift from our new neighbor!"

Fan Shengmei put down the report in her hand, glanced up and saw the gold-plated logo. Her eyes lit up and she quickly stood up and came over: "I recognize this brand. A small box of this costs over a thousand yuan in the department store. She just gave it away casually?" She took the gift box, looked it over and over, and clicked her tongue twice. "Qu Xiaoxiao looks flamboyant, but she's really generous. She's definitely a rich girl."

Guan Juer also came over, looking at the exquisite packaging of the gift box, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "It's so expensive? It must taste delicious."

Qiu Yingying couldn't wait to open the gift box. The rich and mellow aroma of cocoa immediately wafted out, whetting everyone's appetite. She picked up a piece and held it to Fan Shengmei's lips, then gave one to Guan Juer, and took one for herself.

The silky chocolate melts gently on the tongue, not cloying at all. The rich cocoa flavor is wrapped with a hint of nutty crumbs, and the sweetness is accompanied by a just-right bitterness. The texture is so delicate that it feels like you are holding a cloud in your mouth.

"Oh my god, this is so delicious!" Qiu Yingying's eyes sparkled, and she couldn't resist taking another piece.

Guan Juer took small sips, a sweet smile curving her lips: "Really, it's not cloying at all, the texture is so delicate, it's better than any chocolate I've ever eaten."

Fan Shengmei squinted her eyes in satisfaction, savoring the sweet taste in her mouth. She smacked her lips and said, "You get what you pay for, and this taste is definitely worth the thousand yuan."

The three of them sat around the coffee table, each taking a piece, and soon they had finished half a box. The room was filled with the rich aroma of cocoa, and even the air felt sweet.

After washing up, Qiu Yingying strolled slowly back to her small room in her slippers. She closed the door, and the room instantly fell silent. Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a soft glow.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, took a deep breath, and silently said "System check-in".

The next second, a golden notification popped up on the virtual panel in front of them: Today's check-in successful, reward: 5 Intelligence Pills and 800 yuan in cash!

"Wow!" Qiu Yingying's eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't help but exclaim softly, "This is amazing!"

She rubbed her hands together, then opened her personal panel to take stock of her wealth. The data on the panel was clearly listed:

After recent accumulation and task completion...

Eight tasks have been completed on the task panel, with two more in progress: Task 1, Mastery of Traditional Chinese Medicine; and Task 2, Mastery of Art Appreciation. The course is divided into five levels: Beginner…Basic…Intermediate…Mastery…Complete Mastery [Reaching this level for each skill is very difficult].

Individual wealth: 165800 yuan

Beauty: 9 points [out of 10]

Wisdom: 4 points [maximum value is 20] 5 = 9. After consuming the Wisdom Pill, it increases by 5 points.

Stamina: 3 points [Urgently Needs Improvement]

Social Reputation: 3 points [Almost none]

Skills Mastered: Business English [Proficient], Workplace Social Skills and Communication [Proficient], Driving Skills [Proficient], Music, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting [Basic], Flower Arrangement [Beginner], Traditional Chinese Medicine [Basic], Tea Ceremony [Beginner], Martial Arts [Beginner], Cooking [Advanced]...

She also obtained relevant certificates in business English and a driver's license.

Looking at the numbers, Qiu Yingying felt a surge of joy. Then, with a thought, the five crystal-clear Intelligence Pills appeared in her palm. Without a second thought, she popped them into her mouth one after another. The pills melted instantly upon entering her mouth, transforming into a cool, warm current that flowed down her throat and into her heart.

In just a moment, Qiu Yingying felt her mind clear up. The obscure and difficult knowledge points she had been reading before seemed to become clear in an instant, and her memory seemed to have been enhanced. She could even clearly recall every detail of the financial news she had casually flipped through yesterday.

She quickly refreshed the panel, and sure enough, the number in the Wisdom column had changed to 9.

"That's awesome!" Qiu Yingying excitedly pumped her fist, feeling energized. "Now, whether it's taking certification exams or learning new things, I'll definitely be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort!"

Qiu Yingying was excited when suddenly the system notification sounded again: "Host's intelligence has been enhanced, triggering a hidden mission—the Food Blogger Debut Challenge. Within one month, accumulate 10,000 followers through food videos. Success will reward you with 50,000 cash and the Culinary Mastery skill; failure will deduct half of your current wealth." Qiu Yingying was stunned at first, then her fighting spirit soared. With the intelligence boost from the Intelligence Pill, she felt this mission was not out of reach. No sooner said than done! She immediately threw herself into preparing for the food video shoot, racking her brains to come up with unique topics and captivating scripts, and carefully considering every detail. After much deliberation, she decided to start with relatively easy-to-make and popular home-style dishes, such as sweet and sour pork ribs and fragrant scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

The next morning, before dawn, Qiu Yingying eagerly got up early and rushed to the market to buy all the necessary ingredients. After returning home, she didn't dare slack off for a moment, immediately setting up the filming location and carefully checking and adjusting the camera equipment. Only after completing these preparatory tasks did she breathe a sigh of relief, but she quickly rallied her spirits, because the next step was even more important—she would personally cook a delicious meal!

Throughout the cooking process, Qiu Yingying was incredibly skilled and adept, her techniques astounding. At the same time, she didn't forget her mission, maintaining excellent interaction with the camera and meticulously explaining the specific preparation methods of each dish to the audience… confident and composed. Although the initial viewership was low after the first video was released, Qiu Yingying wasn't discouraged. She believes that with her own efforts and the system's support, she can go far as a food blogger. She envisions a new opportunity to achieve financial freedom without the 9-to-5 grind.

In the following days, Qiu Yingying carefully studied the video data, analyzed audience preferences, and continuously optimized subsequent videos. She tried filming modified versions of some popular online foods, adding her own innovative elements while retaining the classic flavors.

In another video, she made a cheese-filled chicken cutlet. The golden, crispy outer layer was wrapped around rich, creamy cheese, and when you took a bite, the cheese would ooze out in long, stringy strands, making it both visually appealing and delicious. After the video was released, it gradually gained popularity, with likes and comments steadily increasing.

Viewers left comments expressing their desire to see more challenging dishes. Upon seeing this, Qiu Yingying accepted the challenge without hesitation and began preparing to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. She carefully selected the ingredients, strictly followed the steps, and handled every detail perfectly.

After the video of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was released, it immediately went viral. Her fan base began to grow exponentially, surpassing 10,000 in just a few days. A cheerful system notification sounded: "Hidden mission complete. Reward: 50,000 cash and Culinary Mastery skill. Also, a Strength Pill." Qiu Yingying jumped up excitedly; she was one step closer to financial freedom.

She already has 384 points, and she can shop in the system store after completing ten tasks.
