[Recommends the host choose the ten-draw with a guaranteed prize.]
After understanding the System Blind Box, Gu Wanrong followed the system’s recommendation, opened the blind box interface, and clicked on the ten-draw.
[Congratulations, host, on drawing Perfect Figure, Intermediate English skill, 6 free attribute points.]
Gu Wanrong looked at the ten-draw results: one golden Perfect Figure box, one purple Intermediate English skill box, one blue 5 free attribute points box, one green 1 free attribute point box, and six gray empty boxes. She couldn’t tell if she had gotten lucky or unlucky.
Gu Wanrong added all six free attribute points to her appearance.
After adding the attribute points and using the Perfect Figure from the blind box draw, Gu Wanrong felt overwhelmingly youthful and vibrant.
Seeing how much prettier she’d become after adding the attributes she gained from the blind box, Gu Wanrong felt a strong urge to continue drawing.
She remembered the system’s recommendation of the ten-draw as optimal, and the remaining nine might not be as good, but she still wanted to draw.
If I don’t draw, I won’t know if I’m lucky or unlucky with the system. I don’t know when the next ten-draw will be. Ugh, I’m so itchy!
[The probability of the host’s blind box draws is fixed; there is no concept of luck or unluckiness with the system], the system, seeing Gu Wanrong’s back-and-forth hesitation and facial expressions, couldn’t help but speak.
So the ten-draw was still more worthwhile. Gu Wanrong decided not to draw anymore.
After using up her blind box draw chances, Gu Wanrong opened the System Mall again; her shopping credits had increased by 510 points, for a total of 511 points, enough to carefully select some skills.
Gu Wanrong decided to choose Beginner and Intermediate Mathematics and Beginner and Intermediate Finance, spending a total of 210 shopping credits.
She now had 500 million yuan in savings. Although the system would continue to provide rebates, resulting in a large fortune, she still needed to manage her wealth correctly, so she decided to learn about finance first.
Both in her past and current lives, her university major was Chinese Language and Literature; she hadn’t studied math since high school. Mathematics was only beginner level. Since she had chosen finance, she needed to improve her math.
After choosing finance and mathematics, Gu Wanrong, remembering that she didn’t know much about cat care, selected Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Pet Care skills. After learning them, she would have enough knowledge for daily use, spending 160 shopping credits.
After purchasing the pet care skills, Gu Wanrong had 141 shopping credits left in her System Mall; she decided to save them for later, not using them at the moment.
Then she used the Intermediate English skill, and the Beginner and Intermediate Mathematics and Beginner and Intermediate Finance skills.
The skills from the blind box were like a direct infusion of knowledge; after using them, Gu Wanrong felt she could fluently speak, listen to, read, and write common English. The skills purchased from the System Mall, after use, prompted [Enter system learning space?], requiring her to study them herself.
Gu Wanrong clicked confirm and entered the system learning space.
The system learning space was a place where time stood still. After learning a skill, one could choose to exit or continue learning.
Gu Wanrong first chose to learn Beginner Mathematics. In the system learning space, the instructor continuously taught her and then tested her until she received a perfect score on the exam, at which point she could leave.
As soon as Gu Wanrong exited the space, she felt exhausted—the kind of exhaustion from overusing her brain.
Her head ached, reminding her to give her brain a break.
I’ll learn one skill today, the rest later.
After a few days, Gu Wanrong had mastered all the skills she had bought. Hu Yue from Anxin Real Estate called to say that the transfer of the Yunjiang Yaju property had been completed.
Upon hearing this news, Gu Wanrong immediately hired a moving company to move.
————WeChat Group: Heaven’s Chosen Hotpot Girl
Gu Wanrong—Yuan Yuan: Ladies, I’m moving. Coming to Yunjiang Yaju.
Wu Aiai—Don’t Call Me Ai: When? Are you treating?
Zhou Siyin—4444: No treat, no come. (Evil smile jpg)
Yuan Yuan: Tomorrow.
Yuan Yuan: @4444 You bring what, I’ll provide it.
Don’t Call Me Ai: I’ll definitely come tomorrow, I’ll be there at 8 AM (Energetic dog jpg).
4444: Aren’t you being very generous with this treat? Old-style hot pot, here we come!!!! Can’t get up at 8; whenever you’re eating, come then.
Yuan Yuan: @4444ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ
Yuan Yuan: @Don’t Call Me Ai If you really come at 8, I won’t open the door; you can squat at the entrance.
Don’t Call Me Ai: Zhou Siyin is having hot pot again; can’t go without hot pot, can she?
Don’t Call Me Ai: Yuan Yuan, I was kidding; you wouldn’t be that cruel to me, would you? ( ＾-＾ )
Yuan Yuan: I would.
4444: Hahahahahahaha, Wu Aiai, you deserve it.
…
Yuan Yuan: Okay, tomorrow afternoon, come to my new place; I’ll treat you to Lao Cai Tou hot pot in the evening.
Gu Wanrong put down her phone, a smile on her lips. Wu Aiai and Zhou Siyin’s hobbies and speaking habits were exactly the same as in her previous life.
Wu Aiai and Zhou Siyin were Gu Wanrong’s two best friends. The three of them had been in the same school from middle school to high school. Zhou Siyin’s grades were better than theirs; after choosing subjects, she was in the top science class, while Gu Wanrong and Wu Aiai were in the same liberal arts class.
The three of them were inseparable since middle school. After Gu Wanrong’s grandmother passed away, Wu Aiai and Zhou Siyin stayed by her side. When they applied for college, they chose universities close to each other.
Zhou Siyin studied computer science at Tianjin University’s top program, Gu Wanrong studied Chinese Language and Literature at Tianjin University, and Wu Aiai studied accounting at Dejiu University of Finance and Economics, next to Tianjin University.
The next morning, Gu Wanrong went to BSK Fine Supermarket to shop.
Potato chips, chocolate, nuts (already shelled, as the three of them were too lazy to shell them), pork jerky, pickled pepper chicken feet, meat floss sponge cakes… snacks that the three of them loved.
Two pounds of fresh shrimp, one pound of fresh beef, one pound of freshly made fish balls, a box of beef rolls… fresh ingredients for hot pot that the three of them loved.
They would order hot pot delivery in the evening; they could use the fresh ingredients they bought themselves; some dishes from the hot pot restaurants weren’t as good as those bought fresh.
Security at Yunjiang Yaju was strict; strangers weren’t allowed in. So in the afternoon, Gu Wanrong went to the entrance of the community to meet Wu Aiai and Zhou Siyin.
The two of them, each carrying a bouquet of flowers and a cake, ran over to Gu Wanrong as soon as they saw her, and the three hugged each other.
In the evening, after eating hot pot, Wu Aiai hugged Nai Cha. “Yuan Yuan, I almost didn’t recognize you today; you look so much more energetic.”
“Yes, you seem to have gotten over it,” Zhou Siyin agreed.
“It’s been a month since Grandma passed away. Even if I’m still sad, I have to look forward.” Gu Wanrong sat next to Wu Aiai, leaning her head on her shoulder.
“Just look forward.” Wu Aiai reached out and patted Gu Wanrong’s head.
“Yuan Yuan, that apartment doesn’t look cheap. Tell us, where did you get so much money?” Zhou Siyin, seeing the slightly low mood, quickly changed the subject. “Don’t tell me it’s from dubious sources.”
“Zhouzhou, after Grandma passed away, I realized that my family was different from what I knew,” Gu Wanrong told her two best friends the story she had prepared.
“My maternal grandparents and mother passed away when I was young. The house and some of the savings they left behind, my father put into bank wealth management products; some was used to buy houses and shops. After my father died, my grandfather put the compensation money into wealth management products. After my grandfather passed away, Grandma didn’t understand wealth management and used the matured funds to buy shops. The old properties were demolished, and we received new ones. Grandma lived frugally; I didn’t know we had so many properties and rental income.”
“Wow, Yuan Yuan, you’re a landlord now. Can you support us two little sisters?” Wu Aiai moved Gu Wanrong’s head from her shoulder and, pulling Zhou Siyin, leaned against Gu Wanrong, acting like little birds nestled in her arms.
“With so many shops and houses, didn’t your relatives and elders cause trouble for you?” Zhou Siyin asked.
“Grandma never told anyone about this; otherwise, if they knew, they’d have left me nothing.”
Then Gu Wanrong took out the jewelry she had bought over the past few days, selected some suitable pieces for Wu Aiai and Zhou Siyin, and gave them as gifts.
The two refused; the jewelry looked expensive; they couldn’t accept them.
“Aiai, Zhouzhou, I’m going to support you both!” Gu Wanrong generously embraced Wu Aiai and Zhou Siyin.
“Hahahahahahahaha.” The three girls’ laughter echoed continuously from the living room.
