Chapter 14: Received: Summer Time Cool Skin Pill (1)
“Open!”
As soon as she thought about that, another message bounced into the system.
[Received: Summer Time Cool Skin Pill x 1!]
[Effect: You can say goodbye forever to those oily days in the summertime! Clear skin, no oil, no pores. Your face would look like a hardboiled egg without its shell and catch people’s attention everywhere you go.]
Gu Shishi made a “tsss” sound.
Every summer, the T-zone still got very oily. Even though she used oil absorbing sheets everyday along with pore-minimizing toner every day, she was still losing in the battle of preventing her pores to expand.
Thinking about that, she looked into the mirror.
The original owner has a good base to begin with, pale skin and pretty. But precisely because her pale skin tone, whenever she didn’t have makeup on, blackheads and widened pores were particularly obvious.
Thinking about that, Gu Shishi produced the pill from the system.
She sniffed at it. It smelled like Chinese medicine.
All medicines have some type of side effects; it’s not wise to randomly take them.
Gu Shishi valued her life a lot.
[The prize medicinal pill from this system was a product of both Chinese and Western medicines. It’s a product of technology and has no negative side effects. You have nothing to worry about.]
[Some of its ingredients were not available in the modern society.]
Gu Shishi raised her brows.
“Alright! Guess I will try it!”
She closed her eyes and bit off a small piece.
It was not bitter at all, even a little sweet.
As soon as she swallowed it, she could immediately felt a warm stream moving around her body. After that, there was a tingling feeling on her skin as though it had been brushed by a feather.
She couldn’t help but touched her face.
And, there was black oil all over her hand!
She gave it a closer look. It seemed to have some year-old blackheads and whiteheads mixed in there…
Gu Shishi quickly walked over to her dressing table and that when she noticed that her face was covered in a layer of black dirt like a facial mask.
She quickly opened up the drawer on her dressing table and used some cotton balls to gently apply toner to the dirty portion on her face.
Once, twice… each time she had gone over them with the toner, more oil would appear….
She used over half a bag of cotton balls before all the dirt was gone.
“Wow, that almost worked too well.”
She stared at her jade-like pale face and found it hard to believe.
She immediately popped the remaining pill into her mouth and chewed it up like it was a piece of candy.
More dirt appeared on her skin. She looked into the mirror again after she cleaned them all up…. Pinkish skin with a hint of whiteness, her skin was smooth and not one blackhead or widened pore could be found. As though she had applied microdermabrasion or used a camera app filter, her skin was flawless!
Content with the result, she stroked her skin that was smooth like water. It even felt better than it was before.
The effect was amazing!
She laid down on the couch happily and sighed as she looked at the system again.
Doting of the male lead, acceptance by the others…. How was she supposed to achieve that?
If she wanted to level up, she’d need Huo Sishen for the first criteria, and she need just anyone to like her for the second criteria?
The system said for her to figure it out herself, guessed she’d just have to give it a try!
Thinking about that, Gu Shishi fished out the cellphone and looked through her friends’ list on her WeChat account to see who she could start with for their fondness.
Glancing at it, she saw a message from her adoptive mother.
