Xanthia had prepared herself for the possibility of strange items emerging from the blind boxes—likely tools designed to provoke negative emotions in others to gather "pain points"—but she hadn’t anticipated something this bizarre!

  The first item revealed from the two blind boxes was a "summoned beast" or "pet" type of creature. It appeared as a tiny flying insect, so small it was nearly invisible to the naked eye.

  It resembled a speck of dust, and Xanthia had to use a magnifying gss just to observe it.

  Since it had become her "summoned beast," the system ensured absolute loyalty and effortless control. Unlike in the real world, where earning someone’s loyalty might involve constant effort—like keeping a sycophant content with occasional rewards—this system beast required no such maintenance.

  Xanthia opened its attribute panel and found its stats weak, incapable of harming anyone.

  This raised a question: how could it induce negative emotions to collect "pain points"?

  Looking at its skill set, she discovered it had three peculiar abilities. The first skill, "Fart Inducer," caused the target to fart on the spot when bitten by this.

  Xanthia’s expression turned odd at this prank-like ability.

  While it caused no physical harm, the humiliation potential was high.

  Imagine someone in a confined public space, like an elevator, farting unexpectedly. Anyone with a shred of pride would likely feel embarrassed, generating "pain points."

  The other two skills were just as outrageous, following the theme of "Fart Inducer." One was "Urine Inducer," and the st one was even more extreme, turning the bitten person into a "spray warrior."

  In other words, Xanthia’s "fart, urine, and diarrhea" insect summoned beast could prank people by making them fart, urinate, or have diarrhea instantly.

  Realizing the insect’s potential for chaos, Xanthia couldn’t help but ugh.

  Having seen bizarre, grotesque, and hideous summoned beasts in the system store, she hadn’t expected to draw such a mischievous one right away.

  When analyzed carefully, the insect had practical uses despite being a mere blue-quality beast.

  Firstly, its near-invisibility, resembling dust, made it highly covert. It could fly at incredible speeds, its bite was painless, and its skill effects were immediate. This meant Xanthia could prank others without anyone realizing she was behind it.

  Secondly, it had potential utility in dangerous situations. If she encountered a mugger or kidnapper, she could deploy the insect to turn the assaint into a "spray warrior," rendering them so shocked and distracted that she could escape.

  Though designed for pranks, this little insect could also offer some protection. Considering it was just a cheap item from the blind box, Xanthia felt it was a solid find.

  Being practical, Xanthia didn’t dismiss the insect simply for being blue quality. It made for a decent "starter" summoned beast.

  The second blind box revealed a one-time consumable item of purple quality, piquing her curiosity.

  Its name, "A Painfully Intense Simuted Rebirth Memory," left her puzzled. What sort of prank item was this?

  Judging by the name, it seemed like something to use on others to gather "pain points."

  Xanthia sighed. She wanted items to enhance herself! The insect, at least, had some utility. This one-time item, though higher in quality, didn’t seem practical.

  After reading the description, she understood its purpose.

  The item allowed the user to impnt someone with a simuted "rebirth memory." Though entirely fabricated, the memory would appear vivid and realistic, portraying the recipient as a total failure and simuting the worst possible future scenarios.

  Upon waking from this simution, the person might believe they had been reborn. If they attempted to follow the memory’s guidance to alter their future, they would likely fail miserably, as the memory was false. The realization of being trapped in an unchangeable fate could lead to despair, generating significant "pain points."

  Xanthia found the item ruthless. It had the potential to extract immense "pain value."

  She compared it to the genjutsu "Tsukuyomi" from Naruto, except this was a one-time use. It created a simir "Tsukuyomi space," forcing the target to endure intense mental anguish. Afterward, some might grow stronger, while others might spiral into despair.

  This item required careful use. It wasn’t purely negative—

  A false rebirth memory could inspire someone to seize the present, mistakenly believing they had truly been reborn. Such a person might gain renewed determination.

  After opening the two blind boxes, Xanthia was generally satisfied with the results. At least it wasn’t a complete failure with low-tier white-quality items like "stamina potions" or "energy potions."

  She admitted that opening blind boxes had a thrill simir to pying gacha games. The anticipation of the unknown was addictive.

  However, Xanthia had strong self-control. In her past life, she had pyed gacha games for free, finding enjoyment in the process without spending excessively. She approached these blind boxes the same way, enjoying the quirky items and summoned beasts in the system store.

  Her current strategy was clear: focus on accumuting happiness points, gathering pain points only as opportunities arose.

  With this mindset, Xanthia went to bed content, steadily building up her happy points.

  Converting happy points into "constitution" attribute points made her body grow stronger, a development she could feel. A strong body was fundamental. It allowed her to engage in thrilling extreme sports, further boosting her happy points in a positive feedback loop.

  In her past life, Xanthia had been passionate about competitive sports, fantasizing about wearing her national fg and achieving glory for her herself. This dream had brought her great joy, even though she cked the talent to achieve it then.

  Now, with the system’s help, everything was different. As long as she kept improving, anything felt possible!
