Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 24: Memory Enhancement

Back at the mansion, Mrs. Zhang started chattering as soon as she finished preparing dinner. "Miss. Gu, the medicine list you gave me is really useful! The pain in my legs has become better in the past few days, and I can even go buy things at the market without feeling any aches or pain!"

Mrs. Zhang felt that it was truly amazing how well it worked. She couldn't fix this problem of hers after getting treatment from all those large scale hospitals, and Gu Xiqiao fixed it with a simple medicine list?

Gu Xiqiao put down her bowl onto the table. "It's good that it's working. Also, you can just call me my name."

She wasn't any noble lady in the first place.

The young girl was smiling softly, her expression shrouded with a halo of light under the ceiling lights and her clear gaze sparkling like s starry galaxy. Mrs. Zhang couldn't refuse such a good girl and nodded in agreement. "Alright then, how does your family address you? I'll call you in the same way!"

Gu Xiqiao's grip on her chopsticks tightened slightly. "Qiao Qiao, just call me Qiao Qiao."

Mrs. Zhang walked around happily and muttered the name to herself before she clapped her hands together. "Ah, silly me! I was so happy that I forgot the soup that I made for you, Qiao Qiao, I'll go get it!"

Seeing her so happy at a simple name, it lifted Gu Xiqiao's originally low spirits. She was a little put off by the soup that smelled like Chinese medicine, but she drank two bowls under Mrs. Zhang's earnest gaze.

After her meal, Gu Xiqiao went upstairs to her room, standing there slightly stunned at what she saw when she opened the door. A corner of the room was converted into a simple art studio that was separated by a few pieces of frosted glass and was complete with canvases, easels and everything she would possibly need. Two potted plants were even placed at a corner of the room to lighten things up.

"This is one of the things that Master Jiang had ordered me to do before he left. It's not decorated as well as I would have liked because there wasn't a lot of time" Mrs. Zhang's voice called out behind her.

"Thank you, I really like it!"

Gu Xiqiao walked into the room, and because the room itself was quite large, the new addition to the room didn't affect it or make it seem narrowernor stifling. Instead, it gave the room a distinct artistic air.

[Beauty Qiao, it's time to start learning~]

Seeing that its mistress had been spacing out for almost an hour, the system spirit reminded her.

Gu Xiqiao didn't reply, going into the virtual space quietly and stood there in front of the wooden table with calligraphy materials on top of it for a long time, before reaching for the brush and writing a single "" (Silence).

[Ding! Your calligraphy has leveled up to Intermediate level! 50 points have been rewarded, may you continue working hard!] A system notification rung out at this moment.

"Intermediate? What does that mean?" Gu Xiqiao stopped writing, curious about this notification that popped out suddenly. Looking down at what she wrote, it was true that her words seemed to look prettier, with generally better structure and technique behind it.

[Oh I almost forgot, wait for me, Beauty Qiao!]

Another screen appeared in front of Gu Xiqiao with her information in detail, as well as the explanations for the different levels of daily skills. The levels were separated as such: Starter Level, Intermediate Level, Advanced Level, Elite Level, Master Level, Grandmaster Level and finally God Level.

[On this planet, most people have skills in the range of Starter Level, while a small amount is in the range of Intermediate Level, and a fraction has skills in Advanced Level. Of course, there are people with skills above that level, but I can't detect them because the current system level is still low. That boy you met at the art room last time was Starter Level in painting, so you're better than him!]
