After roughly browsing through the system mall, Chu Wanchen turned her gaze back to the retroactively issued check-in reward from the system.
The Becoming Beautiful Potion!
As the final reward distributed by the system before its upgrade, the Becoming Beautiful Potion was a champion-level existence.
Having been remodeled by the previous few essences, Chu Wanchen could now be considered an 80-point beauty with skin as smooth as congealed fat.
As the saying goes, fairness hides a hundred flaws.
Whether one’s skin was fair or not had a crucial impact on a person’s attractiveness, let alone being fair while having absolutely no visible pores.
No matter how ordinary one’s facial features were, possessing the two advantages above could raise their attractiveness score by several percentage points.
Chu Wanchen was currently at this stage; her facial features were actually not delicate.
The bridge of her nose was not high, and her lips were not vividly red.
The only exception was her eyes, which were exceptionally beautiful, with the outer corners tilting upward slightly, as if a thousand words were contained within the ripples of her gaze.
However, such a pair of beautiful eyes had previously been hidden behind wire-rimmed glasses, with no matter how much beauty locked away behind thick lenses.
Only after consuming the constitution enhancement potion rewarded by the system did Chu Wanchen finally break free from the shackles of glasses, allowing her pair of peach blossom eyes to see the light of day once more.
When issuing the Becoming Beautiful Potion, the system explained its efficacy along with it.
Unlike the previous whitening essence, the Becoming Beautiful Potion did not make a person beautiful over a span of 7 days, but rather altered the proportions of the consumer’s facial features bit by bit.
In the eyes of others, the consumer’s changes would actually not be very obvious; they would only assume that her features were maturing and opening up.
By the day the ugly duckling completely transformed into a white swan, people would only attribute it to a girl changing as she grows up, and would never associate her with black technologies like plastic surgery.
The beautifying effect of the Becoming Beautiful Potion was similar to photo editing software on a computer; it could slowly adjust the consumer’s imperfect facial features toward the perfect proportions recognized by the public.
No woman disliked being beautiful, so Chu Wanchen drank the potion in one gulp without any hesitation.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she wondered if it was a psychological effect, but Chu Wanchen felt that her facial features looked a bit more attractive.
“Erbao, hurry up and get out of bed. We still have to go buy local specialties today.”
It seemed her grandmother and the others were up too. Chu Wanchen delayed no further, quickly washed up, and followed everyone to the restaurant for breakfast.
The group played in Dian City for nearly a month, traveling from the Dian City Snow Mountain to the Erhai Lake, and from the Erhai Lake to the Ancient Tea Horse Road.
The benefit of having a tour guide who was familiar with the local conditions leading the way was that they could bypass the regular tourists.
This allowed them to have a wonderful travel experience even during the summer vacation’s peak tourist season. The tour guide also took them to many hidden gem restaurants known only to locals, where the food tasted excellent and required no queuing.
Every time they reached a place, the group purchased a large quantity of Dian City specialties. The shops the tour guide took them to were all specialty stores with great taste and fair prices. It had to be said that having a good tour guide could make a journey much more pleasant.
Grandmother Chu had originally been an educated youth sent to assist with construction in Qian City, and at that time, many people from her branch had relocated over from Ji City. After the reform and opening up, most chose to stay in Qian City. After branching out for so many years, their family had quite a few relatives in Qian City.
Grandmother Chu held a very high seniority in the family, and everyone would come to her house for New Year’s Eve dinner every year. Couples with Grandmother Chu being a warm-hearted person who possessed strong social skills, the relationships among the relatives were very close.
Although she had left Ji City for decades, the generosity and boldness of northerners were etched into her bones. Whenever she went on a long trip, she would always bring back local specialties and souvenirs for everyone.
Coming to Dian City this time, Grandmother Chu would naturally not forget their relatives in Qian City.
Dian City held the beautiful reputations of Spring City and Flower City. The climate here was like spring all year round, which was very suitable for plant growth, making the flowers of Dian City very famous throughout the country.
The flower cakes and rose jam here used roses cultivated locally in Dian City as raw ingredients, tasting excellent and accompanied by a rich floral fragrance.
Chu Wanchen and her party sampled and bought things all along the way, purchasing whatever they felt tasted good. Unknowingly, they bought dozens of portions of each item. These specialties were not only to be given to relatives but also to friends of the group. These people frequently gave them gifts as well, and normally they had no opportunity to return the favor, so since they had finally gone on a trip, they had to buy good things to return the gifts.
Fortunately, all the specialty shops were equipped with express delivery services now, otherwise the group truly wouldn’t have been able to carry so many things.
By the time the group returned to Qian City, it was already approaching the tail end of the summer vacation.
Although there were still many places they hadn’t visited, Chu Wanchen still had many matters to handle back in Qian City, so this middle school graduation trip could only come to an end for now.
Fortunately, the group had enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Especially the two elderly people—who had been frugal their entire lives—seemed to have cleared their vital energy channels this time, deciding to change their past impoverished lifestyle and go out for walks more frequently in the future.
In fact, the thoughts of the two elders were very simple: rather than waiting until the two of them could no longer walk in the future, it was better to go out and see more while they were still healthy right now. The two of them also received pensions each month, which, although not much, was enough for them to travel.
Chu Wanchen had not expected this trip to yield such a reward, and she felt deeply surprised and happy.
