Chapter 08

User “Weiwei Qingcheng” entered the group chat. [Weiwei Qingcheng: Begging the big shots to spare me a bite to eat @Everyone (Starry eyes)]

“Ding!” [In Ancient Times Sleeping With A Handsome Man] sent a “Capital Roast Duck x1.” “Ding!” [Apocalypse Big Shot Always Staring At My Hook] gifted a “Gold-Attracting Stone x1.” “Ding!” [Deskmate Bullying Me After The Lights Go Out] gifted a “Stealth Pill x1.”

[In Ancient Times Sleeping With A Handsome Man: Little sister, the roast duck from Hua Man Lou is pretty good, have a taste @Weiwei Qingcheng]

The roast duck, free from feed additives, smelled heavenly. Jiang Wei munched on a duck leg and replied. [Weiwei Qingcheng: Thanks for the feeding, Brother Handsome Man (Foodie)] [Apocalypse Big Shot Always Staring At My Hook: Sorry sister, I’m a little zombie and don’t eat human food, only people. Here’s a one-day-disposable Gold-Attracting Stone; it can lead you to nearby gold bars.]

“Hahaha…” Jiang Wei nearly laughed herself to death. With this, she wouldn’t have to worry about finding the assets hidden by her scumbag father. [Deskmate Bullying Me After The Lights Go Out: Oh no, my deskmate saw me sending you a gift and is unhappy. He’s going to turn off the lights, and—] The message cut off before the word “see” was sent; Brother Deskmate was forced to go offline.

User “I Am The Poorest In The Transmigration” sent a “Welfare Red Packet x1.” Jiang Wei was quick-eyed and snatched it immediately. [In Ancient Times Sleeping With A Handsome Man: Damn, what happened? I missed out on billions!] [Apocalypse Big Shot Always Staring At My Hook: The Poorest Big Shot actually sent welfare! Little sister, hurry, tell me what you got?] [Weiwei Qingcheng: Clairvoyance Eyes x1] [In Ancient Times Sleeping With A Handsome Man: Clairvoyance! It’s actually Clairvoyance, Sister Weiwei. This is the ability to see through everything! With this, countless handsome men will be running naked in front of you.]

Thinking about a group of naked people running around in front of her, she felt extremely disgusted. She had already thought of how to use the Clairvoyance.

[Weiwei Qingcheng: Thanks for the welfare red packet, ‘I Am The Poorest In The Transmigration’ (Love you, Mwah!)] “I Am The Poorest In The Transmigration” exited the group chat. User “Weiwei Qingcheng” retracted a message.

[In Ancient Times Sleeping With A Handsome Man: Once in a century! Brother Poor actually sent welfare. He must have fallen for Sister Weiwei. It’s a pity you’re further apart than the Milky Way. Heartbreaking…]

Feeling the helplessness of not being able to reach a hand through the screen, Jiang Wei quickly changed the subject. [Weiwei Qingcheng: Brother Handsome Man, how about sending over today’s task? (Greedy puppy)] [In Ancient Times Sleeping With A Handsome Man: Today’s task: A love letter. Requirements: Mushy, mushy, and extra mushy. Dual male leads. Reward: Gossip Pill x1.]

A love letter? She had never written one in her entire life, though she had certainly received plenty. For example, the CEO in the book “The CEO Loves the White Moonlight, and He Goes Crazy After the Breakup” had once written her a 10,000-word essay. Jiang Wei had the system find that essay and flash-sent it directly to “In Ancient Times Sleeping With A Handsome Man.”

“Ding!” Host obtained task reward: Gossip Pill x1. [In Ancient Times Sleeping With A Handsome Man: Thanks for the love letter, Sister Weiwei. The Ugly Pill can make anyone who eats it ugly. Also, you need to hurry up and level up. Once your level is high, you can grab advanced tasks and even issue tasks yourself.]

The Alliance Group had level restrictions. As a newcomer like Jiang Wei with a low level, she could only accept low-level tasks, and the rewards were one-day-disposable items. However, higher-level members like Handsome Man, Apocalypse Big Shot, and Deskmate could not only assign simple tasks but also accept high-difficulty tasks, obtaining more rare “cheat” items.

Handsome Man, Apocalypse, and Deskmate were in the fifth tier. Above them were the fourth, third, second, and first tiers. Jiang Wei was currently in the sixth—commonly known as the “Old Six” (slang for a camper or someone lurking at the bottom). As an “Old Six,” she could currently only accept fifth-tier tasks. To accept higher-level tasks and get better rewards, she had to level up.

Jiang Wei went offline and asked the system, “Old Six, how can I increase my level in the Alliance Group?” The system appeared gloomily: [Host, I am not ‘Old Six.’ You are.] Jiang Wei, “Fine, Old Six it is. Who isn’t an ‘Old Six’ anyway? My dear sweet baby, tell me how I can level up, okay?” One-day-disposable cheats were too troublesome; they expired at any moment and weren’t fun to use.

As an old acquaintance, the system knew perfectly well that when Jiang Wei called it “sweet baby,” she was about to go crazy. Its host was different from others. She didn’t care about the plot, didn’t care if the character personas collapsed, and if she wasn’t happy, she’d just think, “Life is so boring, let’s just destroy it all.” Frightened, the system quickly said: [Persist in signing in every day to claim welfare and tasks. Also, do you see those five gray avatars at the very top of the group?]

Jiang Wei specifically went to look. “Yeah.” The system explained: [They are the top big shots in the Alliance Group. They possess thousands of cheats you can’t even imagine. They usually don’t post tasks, but the tasks they do post have no level restrictions. Everyone in the group can snatch them, and the rewards are things you can’t even dream of. For example, the Clairvoyance he just casually sent is something other transmigrators would break their heads to get.] Jiang Wei: “Understood. I’m going home to practice my finger speed,” striving to grab the big shots’ red packets next time. Understood my foot, the system thought, too lazy to argue with her. Is it a question of finger speed? It’s about being active in the group and acting cute to get the big shots’ attention! If you knew how to seduce the big shots, like that ‘Poorest In The Transmigration’ guy, why worry about lacking cheats?

Jiang Wei, satisfied with her haul, returned to the “doghouse” Shen Peirong had arranged for her to sleep. The day belonged to the “cattle and horses” (the laborers), but as a nocturnal creature, she would forage at night.

While sleeping soundly, she heard a clatter in the courtyard. It was Shen Peirong ordering the servants to move everything she had bought into Jiang Yan’s room. In the courtyard, Jiang Yan intentionally raised her voice: “Mother, you spent so much today, but we didn’t buy any clothes that Little Sister can wear. Will she think we did it on purpose?” “It’s fine. Your sister’s skin is tough and she’s used to rough cloth; wearing new clothes might actually be uncomfortable. When I get back to my room, I’ll pick out two dresses I don’t wear anymore for her.” Shen Peirong didn’t realize how biased she was being. “Then I’ll ask the Second Concubine and Third Concubine to pick out some nice clothes to send to Little Sister.” There was an undisguised gloating in Jiang Yan’s tone.

Jiang Wei, inside the room, shakily poked her head out of the window. “Mother, I’ve already entrusted someone to tell my future in-laws that you are preparing five gold bars for my dowry. They even praised you as a Bodhisattva who saves the suffering.” “You child,” Shen Peirong hadn’t expected that just five gold bars would make her younger daughter and her future in-laws so grateful. Yet, she had left three entire trunks of gold for her eldest daughter. Feeling guilty, she looked at the younger daughter huddled shakily on the windowsill, looking so frail that a gust of wind could blow her away. Looking at the patched clothes on her body, and then at the dozen trunks full of the eldest daughter’s clothes in the courtyard, a strange thought arose in her heart. It felt like as long as she was with her eldest daughter, she would forget the younger one, but as soon as she saw the younger one, she would remember every little detail about the eldest daughter and the Second Concubine. It’s as if I’m possessed by a ghost.

“Cough, cough, cough,” Jiang Wei also learned from Jiang Yan and spat out some blood, looking weakly at Shen Peirong. “Mother, although I know the kitchen didn’t make dinner for me, I still wanted to wish you goodnight. Sigh, I don’t know if my body is just not used to the environment or if I’m just starving. I’m so sleepy… I don’t know if I can even live long enough to marry into the Gu family. Forget it, saying too much just makes Mother and Sister worry. Cough, cough, cough… I’m going to sleep now. Mother, Sister, goodnight.”
