Chapter 2: Online Shopping
A semi-transparent blue panel unfolded before Gu Wanrong.
So the system was real.
Thinking this, she tapped the [Confirm] button. After clicking, a black bank card landed in the palm of the hand she’d used.
“[System has issued one Bank black gold card. Personal attribute panel opened.]”

[Newbie guidance complete. Congratulations, host, on receiving the newbie reward: ¥, 5 free attribute points.]
After the system’s newbie guidance ended, Gu Wanrong looked at the black gold card in her hand and her attribute panel. Without hesitation, she added two attribute points to beauty and physique each, leaving one point for skin.
[Appearance: Beauty 3+2, Skin 4+1, Physique 3+2, Temperament 3, Other 4 (voice, body scent, hair).]
Before her transmigration, Gu Wanrong had just graduated from university. Because of her weight gain, she had been rejected many times during interviews, becoming increasingly sensitive and concerned about her appearance; she would try any method that could make her beautiful.
After using up the attribute points, Gu Wanrong got out of bed, turned on the light, and stood in front of the full-length mirror behind her bedroom door to observe herself. She felt a tingling sensation all over her body.
In the blink of an eye, the slightly protruding belly in the mirror disappeared; her face, neck, arms, and legs visibly tightened. Her original flat, round face, which had a dowdy look, became small and delicate. The acne marks and dullness on her skin all disappeared, leaving smooth and flawless skin.
The change after using five attribute points was so significant. How would she explain it if someone asked? The change was so obvious. The smile brought on by the change in her appearance disappeared, and Gu Wanrong frowned at the thought.
[Host, don’t worry. The system will blur other people’s perception. Every change the host undergoes through the system is essentially the same as before. In their eyes, the host has always been the same, before and after the changes.]
“It can do that? Are all your systems this powerful?” Gu Wanrong thought the system was incredible. The fact that her appearance, which had been ordinary for over a decade, could gradually become beautiful in the future was amazing.
Gu Wanrong picked up her secondhand phone from the bed and checked the date.
Thursday, 9:49 PM.
Five times rebate.
She opened her Bank app; the newbie gift pack from the system, ¥, was quietly sitting in her account balance.
Without hesitation, Gu Wanrong topped up ¥500 of phone credit, clicked confirm payment, and “[Payment successful]” appeared on the screen.
Gu Wanrong stared at the phone screen, her grip on the phone tightening slightly, nervously waiting for the system’s rebate.
“【Huaxia Bank】Bao Fu transferred ¥2500 to your account ending in 6688. Please check.”
Gu Wanrong’s fingers trembled slightly as she opened the message, staring dumbfounded at the text message from Huaxia Bank.
It was true, true, true! The system wasn’t lying! Spending money really gave rebates.
“System, how do I explain the source of this money? I don’t know anyone named Bao Fu.” Gu Wanrong was afraid she wouldn’t be able to explain the source of the bank transfer, and everything would be for naught.
[Bao Fu is the Sudden Wealth System 1688. No one can check the money the system rebates to the host. The system simply uses this method to inform the host that the rebate has been made; and the system is a legitimate system, and all system rebate amounts have legitimate sources.]
[The host’s personal information was also encrypted by the system when the host woke up.]
After hearing the system’s explanation, Gu Wanrong felt relieved, then immediately became excited again.
Sudden wealth was within reach!
She started randomly selecting items in the shopping app…
Anything she had or hadn’t had before, if she wanted it, she added it to her cart.
Shiseido’s Blue Fat Sun Cream, ¥380.
Armani’s Red Cushion Foundation, ¥685.
TF’s Four-Color Eyeshadow Palette, ¥800.
Several high-end brand lipsticks popular for summer, ¥2100.
Silk hair band, ¥549.
…
Gu Wanrong was enjoying herself, becoming happier and happier as she selected items.
Her cart contained ¥ worth of goods. She clicked one-click payment, emptying her cart.
In her past life, she had never had the luxury of one-click checkout. The feeling was even better than drinking iced soda on a hot summer day.
“【Huaxia Bank】Bao Fu transferred ¥ to your account ending in 6688. Please check.”
Now that she had bought most of what she wanted, she wondered what else she should spend money on.
Remembering that in her past life Gu Wanrong’s first fantasy after becoming suddenly wealthy was to buy gold! The bright golden color was so beautiful and luxurious. She opened the shopping app again.
Gold necklaces were beautiful, gold pendants were gorgeous, gold bracelets were opulent, gold rings, gold earrings, pure gold ornaments… all added to her cart, and she checked out in two transactions.
“【Huaxia Bank】Bao Fu transferred ¥ to your account ending in 6688. Please check.”
“【Huaxia Bank】Bao Fu transferred ¥ to your account ending in 6688. Please check.”
Right, her current phone was a secondhand phone passed down from a relative. It was already lagging and overheating after just a short time. I need to change it. And college requires a laptop; I need to buy one. I can also buy a tablet, which I’ve always wanted.
Forget it, I’ll just get the whole Apple family set.
After making her selections, Gu Wanrong emptied her shopping cart again.
“【Huaxia Bank】Bao Fu transferred ¥ to your account ending in 6688. Please check.”
Right, my daughter’s game is supposed to be launched this summer; I wonder if this world has it. I’ll search on Weibo.
Shining World, search.
This world’s Shining World is the same as in her past life, launched last Monday; she immediately downloaded it. Daughter, here I come!
Gu Wanrong immediately registered and logged into the game after downloading it, then topped up a monthly card, a quarterly card, and a large gift pack.
“【Huaxia Bank】Bao Fu transferred…”
It’s so hot! The excitement of constantly spending money could no longer withstand C City’s high temperature. The sweat on her back and face dripped one by one as she slowly exhaled a breath of hot air.
Outside, the air was still scorching, and the cicadas were still chirping incessantly; even the wind had stopped.
Whether four years ago or four years later, the summer in C City was always this hot.
“Beep—”
Gu Wanrong turned on the air conditioning.
She sighed, remembering how the previous “Gu Wanrong” had indulged in the sadness of her family’s death, drunk herself to death in bed without turning on the air conditioning, and now she, having come through transmigration, was lost in a shopping spree, only realizing the heat now.
While reflecting, she also prepaid ¥1000 for this month’s electricity bill and added ¥500 to her savings.
“【Huaxia Bank】Bao Fu transferred…”
Gu Wanrong lay back on the bed again. Thinking that in just a few hours she had experienced death, transmigration, and sudden wealth, the great sorrow and great joy had consumed a lot of her energy. Ignoring the smell of sweat and alcohol, she hugged her phone and drifted off to sleep again.
[The rebate amount has reached ¥1 million. The system mall is open.]
[System mall is loading.]
In her sleep, Gu Wanrong seemed to hear the system’s mechanical voice saying something, but she was too tired to wake up.
