Li Rou sat on a sofa as she deliberated whether she should try the lottery once more.

"I only have one more try left, and I still have no clue how to get more points. I guess I’ll go ahead and spin the wheel since there’s nothing else I can do with the points anyway."

She pressed the ‘Spin’ button on her phone and expectantly waited for her prize.

As the wheel gradually slowed down, Li Rou cast a fixated gaze on it. She was observing the wheel’s every movement, in case it pulled a fast one on her again.

The wheel finally slowed to a complete stop. It had landed on a silver fraction. Low resolution, pixelized 2D confetti came bursting out. Showering the screen with badly coloured rectangular blocks that obstructed Li Rou’s view, thus preventing her from successfully pressing the ‘receive’ button despite numerous attempts.

"Even when you win, this system is still as infuriating as before." Li Rou was visibly agitated by the constant pestering from the system as she waited for the confetti to disappear before receiving the reward.

The Talent Imbuing Tablets are guaranteed to improve one of your many skills, thus making you slightly less worthless. Caution: Not Swallowing the tablet with water may cause asphyxiation. We take no responsibility for your death. Batteries not included.

"Surprisingly, it’s a decent reward. But to still call it garbage..." Li Rou immediately summoned the tablet and attempted to swallow it without hesitation.

Unfortunately, despite having had read the 'blatantly obvious' warning displayed by the system, Li Rou did not swallow the tablet with the help of water.

Li Rou started wheezing and gasping for breath. She hurried back into the kitchen and filled a cup that was conveniently placed on the kitchen counter with water. Li Rou quickly threw her head back and chugged down the water, swallowing the tablet with it.

"Ah, f*ck me. That was dangerous." Li Rou heaved a sigh of relief as she caught her breath.

"Huh?"

Li Rou’s disheveled black hair had suddenly started growing longer at a considerable speed. Her fringe had grown to the point where it had covered her face. Even her previously waist-length hair was now in contact with the floor as it continued to grow.

"I swallowed the Serum!." Li Rou finally realized that the cup on the kitchen counter was the cup she had put the vial of Hair Growth Serum in. She had definitely panicked and f*cked up. There goes her 5,000 P.

Time passed by as Li Rou’s hair's growth gradually slowed down and came to a stop. Not before carpeting the entire kitchen floor with her hair though.

Li Rou grabbed a pair of scissors from a kitchen drawer and braced herself for the amount of cleaning up she had to do.

Firstly, Li Rou quickly shortened her hair to a more manageable length; she had cut her hair till it reached her knees. She now looked like Sadako from the movie: ‘The Ring’. At least no one could see her hideous face now.

Li Rou then tucked her the hair covering her face behind her ears. With this, she could finally see without her fringe obstructing her view.

Now she was prepared to dispose of every strand of hair she had cut.

…

The kitchen was spotless, there was not a single speck of dust or strand of hair to be seen everywhere. Li Rou stood back and admired her handiwork. Although it was her handiwork that caused trouble for her in the first place.

If only she had heeded the warning. However, the damage was already done. Li Rou could not vomit or spit out the vial or its contents. The tiny vial would eventually be passed out of the digestive system.

Li Rou went to the living room and sat on the sofa and turned on the television, taking a well deserved break.

"In today news, China begins its preparations for the 2008 Olympics that is to be held in Beijing later this year on August. Moving on, the number of intellectually deficient people, also known as retards, in the world continue to increase..."

"2008?" Li Rou was taken aback at what year it currently was.

As she sat on the sofa pondering, she had finally connected the dots. It was possible that it was not just her appearance that had changed, her age could have changed as well! The system might have sent her back in time to just when she was starting university!

This idea was able to completely explain why there were lesson materials delivered to her home. Although, it also implies that throughout the years, her breasts had not grown even a millimeter despite massaging them for so long.

While Li Rou was deep in thought as she considered the possibility of that theory, the door to her home opened. It was Li Rou’s mother.

Li Rou’s mother briskly dumped bags of groceries on the kitchen counter as she eyed the Fapdex package on the table.

"I see the lesson materials have been delivered, you’ll be going to university starting tomorrow. My little girl’s all grown up! After university, you’ll get a good job and buy a house then a car, get married and of course, you’ll support me and your father by giving us money!" Li Rou’s mother was extremely cheery and upbeat as she beamed. She had great expectations for her daughter’s future.

Li Rou’s theory was proven correct. She had indeed, gone back in time.

However, Li Rou’s only thoughts at that moment were, "Ah. Sh*t."
