"System, use up my mission reward, the Indigenous Identity Card," Ling Xiao instructed.
She is now the God of Wealth, and if everyone thinks she is an indigenous person, then in everyone's eyes Ling Xiao = God of Wealth.
Both the intruder and the Fairy of Illusion would accept this identity.
A flawless disguise!
Her purpose was to avoid alerting the enemy and to maintain her public image in front of the main characters. She had never seen an intruder before and wanted to play around with them a little longer...
System: I'm always amazed by the host's wild imagination...
After quickly finishing the task, it nestled on its host's shoulder and mumbled complaints:
"I could tell the moment I saw that idiot that he was the kind of self-important guy who'd read too many novels and thought he was the protagonist."
Ling Xiao's face, sculpted like jade, held an utterly indifferent expression in his dark pupils.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Those who don't understand this principle will eventually be devoured!"
She spoke casually to the system about her past experiences in the terrifying infinite space, mentioning how she always encountered self-important individuals who had read a few infinite novels.
For example, there are those who try to persuade ghosts with words, and those who fall in love with ghosts and evil spirits—it's unbelievable how they could bring themselves to do that.
"...There are so many ways to die, it's kind of nostalgic to think about it now," Ling Xiao reminisced.
For her and her teammates, these hilarious guys were a rare treat, since not everyone has such a unique way of thinking.
"So every time we enter the horror world, we instinctively avoid messing with those little guys."
The system's curiosity was piqued; this was the first time its host had spoken so clearly about the past.
After the prop was used, a barely perceptible golden light merged into the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.
For some reason, the fairy and the little ghosts under her command in the sky felt a flutter in their hearts and their eyes became misty for a moment.

On the second day of Lin Zhen's stay at the Lin residence, he got up early to try to curry favor with Lin Ruhai but was turned away. He didn't even know where to go to find Lin Meimei.
"Young Master, the study in the manor contains the annotations that Master used to write when he was studying. Would you like to take a look?"
The servant was practically giving Lin Zhen a tacit reminder to study hard and stop wandering around.
"Uh, I was on a long car ride the other day and I'm not feeling well, so I'd better not go."
A hint of disdain flashed in Lin Zhen's eyes. What a joke! He, a transmigrator, why would he need to read those classical Chinese texts?
With the system at hand, you can directly obtain the standard answers for the imperial examinations by completing tasks, and just copy them.
Once he passes the imperial examination with top honors and becomes an official, he can make money by manufacturing soap, glass, and cement. In that case, he will have both money and power, and who knows, he might even be able to sit on the throne.
Forget it, being an emperor is too tiring. Being a powerful minister or something similar is much more enjoyable.
"Yes, then young master should rest well." No one saw that the servant's face, which was lowered, was filled with mockery and disdain.
Born into the Lin family, a family steeped in scholarship, even the servants understood the importance of reading, writing, and studying hard for the imperial examinations.
This young master—humph, it's one thing if he can't endure hardship, but he can't see through the master's cold attitude. He's tactless, and his emotions are always on his mind.
He even looked down on people with no future like that.
At least he strives to become a butler every day!
Lin Zhen dismissed the servant with a few words, then flirted with the "system" in his mind. Today, the system was dressed as a maid, occasionally pouting coquettishly:
"My master is so mean!"
"I don't want to talk to my master anymore."
………………
The flirting made him feel much better, and he felt warm all over.
He sighed inwardly; the system couldn't have a real physical body yet, so he could only enjoy it verbally.
Then his thoughts wandered, and he thought that he should save more beauties from the Dream of the Red Chamber and take them under his wing to protect and cherish them every day.
Just as I was happily daydreaming, because my attention wasn't on walking, I bumped into someone with a thud.
Wang'er held her head high, her eyes looking upwards, holding a basin of water with a big red flower and a chubby baby in her hands, ready to help her second master wash up.
He wished he could carry a basin of water on his head and parade through the streets.
This is the treasure basin that Second Master pulled out from the Goddess of Wealth's treasure chest!
This chubby baby is so adorable! Maybe if I wash him with this a lot, I'll have a big son!
He Wang'er is also someone who has been touched by the immortals, and he's having a wonderful time thinking about it.
"He bumped right into someone! This is outrageous!" Grandpa Wang blurted out.
"Ouch...which son of a bitch is blind?! You... you..."
A barrage of vulgarities left Lin Zhen completely bewildered. When he came to his senses, he was furious. How could he, a noble transmigrator, be insulted by a mere servant?
"You bastard, how dare you offend me? Is this how your uncle treats his guests? I am the young master of the Lin family!"
To be honest, Wang'er was genuinely taken aback. The young master of the Lin family? He had never heard of Lin's son-in-law having a son. Otherwise, why would his second master have bothered to come and try to make some money?
The next second, Young Master Tang?
What a load of rubbish! Even a child could guess with his fingernail that this so-called young master...
Don't even mention that Lin's son-in-law was saved by the Goddess of Wealth.
Who knows, maybe one day the Goddess of Wealth will speak to the Goddess of Fertility and grant Lin a healthy baby boy.
Even if there's no work available, it's not his place to covet the Lin family.
"This little brat is truly blind and deserves a beating for daring to offend Young Master Lin."
I didn't know you were a relative of Mr. Lin's son-in-law. I've never heard of you before."
Wang'er, a special product of the Rongguo Mansion—the cunning servant—demonstrated his talent for being sarcastic and unpredictable.
Lin Zhen was about to get angry at this attitude, but his eyes noticed the basin that Wang'er was holding.
Plastic basins, those big flower pots that were almost obsolete in rural supermarkets in my past life!
Plastic basins could never have existed in ancient times!
"System, what's going on? Does this mean there are already transmigrators in this world?! I want to file a complaint!"
Lin Zhen's eyes widened in horror, his heart filled with terror. The system beauty in his mind composed herself and replied in an electronic voice:
"Host, please be quiet. The system is currently performing a detection..."
Next, no matter how angry Lin Zhen got, it was always "under testing." He suddenly turned around, forced a smile, and asked Wang'er:
"This pot is quite peculiar; I wonder where it was purchased from."
"This is naturally a treasure brought from the Rongguo Mansion by my second master. What does it have to do with you, young master?"
Wang'er cautiously hid the basin behind his back. Hmm, could this young master Lin be trying to steal the basin?
After saying that, Wang'er ran away as if being chased by a dog.
"Did someone really time-travel first? Yes, Lin Ruhai didn't die, someone must have saved him, maybe even a system. What should I do?"
Lin Zhen was restless and paced back and forth in the room, unaware of the series of words flashing across his system interface by his system beauty:
"...Error occurred...Detection in progress, no outsider detected...Detect again...Prepare the God of Wealth!...The Crimson Pearl's Past Life...Go and investigate!"
The invisible data cluster detached from Lin Zhen, preparing to observe the variables that had appeared in this small world.
