Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Chapter 1
Gu Ting opened his eyes and saw a beautiful, smooth ceiling and an intricate and luxurious chandelier.
In less than half a second, she quickly sat up from the bed, but her head felt a little dizzy and there was a smell of alcohol in her mouth.
She glanced around and quickly realized that this was a hotel suite. Judging from the luxurious decoration and size of the room, it must be very expensive.
Gu Ting didn't think about why she appeared in a luxurious hotel, nor did she look at how close-fitting and cool her suspender skirt was. She was overwhelmed by great excitement, so excited that she couldn't help but cover her face and laugh out loud.
She's back! She's finally back! She's finally out of that horrible, time-traveling world, free from the relentless cycle of time travel and death!
She was a newly graduated university student in China. On her first day at work at a new company, she was involved in a car accident. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an unknown world.
On the first day, she was reborn as a peerless demon that was causing great harm to the area. That very day, she was skinned, bones extracted, and her essence was taken out, then roasted into jerky. On the second day, she was reborn as a fat fish. That same day, a fish pond was blown up, and she and her fellow fish brothers and sisters were stewed into a pot of spicy and fragrant fish head soup. On the third day, she was reborn as a wealthy landlord. She couldn't help but laugh out loud twice, and then died of laughter...
Gu Ting experienced all kinds of strange species and bizarre ways of dying. It was both physically and mentally painful. If it weren't for her strong mind and the spirit of "If you want me to die, I will die", anyone else would have gone crazy long ago.
Until today's routine death work was finished, I suddenly heard a ding-dong: Congratulations, you have activated the Invincible Lucky Star Lottery System.
Gu Ting: ...
Where is your invincibility? Where is your luck? Where are your ancestors?
Invincible Lucky Star Lottery System: Invincible Lucky Master, it must be heaven's will that brings us together. Congratulations, Little Lucky, on finally collecting all 365 Fancy Death Experience Cards, successfully clearing your bad luck. As a token of gratitude, Little Lucky offers you a precious lottery entry. Once completed, you can return to the real world.
Gu Ting pressed the lottery button hard, followed by a hoarse cry of "Fuck your dad". A light flashed in front of her eyes. When the light went out and she opened her eyes again, she was already lying on the bed in a modern hotel.
How could Gu Ting not be excited at this moment? How could he not burst into laughter?
As expected, as long as she is one step ahead mentally, nothing can hurt her!
As for the lottery mentioned by the unscrupulous system, it would be better if she could draw something decent. Otherwise, as long as she lives one day, the first thing she will do every morning when she wakes up is to send warm greetings to its ancestors for eighteen generations!
Before Gu Ting could calm down, the door was opened and a thin and handsome man walked in. He was about thirty years old, with slightly long hair, wearing a light-colored suit and had good taste.
What attracted people most attention was not his appearance or expensive clothes, but the pair of eyes behind his frameless glasses. They were clean, yet melancholy, as if hiding the unmeltable ice and snow on an iceberg.
But no matter how depressed he is, can he be more depressed than her, who has been choked 365 times? She hates people who pretend to be cool in her areas of strength the most!
So she opened her mouth and asked rudely, "Who are you? Why are you in my room?"
As for the relationship between this man and the fake Gu Ting who had occupied his body for a year, to what extent did he know her? What would he do if he found out that she was different from the fake Gu Ting? What a joke, she was the original Gu Ting, what the hell was she afraid of!
Wang Mingxiao was taken aback by the question. After smelling the strong smell of alcohol in the air, his eyes softened a little and he explained in a good-tempered manner, "I'm Wang Mingxiao, Miss Gu. You took the initiative to find me and arranged to meet me at the hotel. Do you remember?"
While speaking, Wang Mingxiao poured two glasses of water, picked up one and handed it to Gu Ting, saying softly, "Miss Gu, drink some water to wake up."
Gu Ting took the cup. As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. This person seemed to have a good temper, so she calmed down a little.
But she still stared at him rudely: "Don't think I'm drunk! I tell you, I'm not the same person I was yesterday. The Gu Ting I told you about yesterday is no longer here. Now I tell you: everything I said before doesn't count. Okay, you can get out!"
How can a man who is serious about checking into a hotel with a woman he doesn't even know well be treated well by others?
Wang Mingxiao still heard these words as drunken nonsense, but he didn't seem angry. Instead, he explained in a gentle voice, "Ms. Gu, you said you owed a large sum of money and were desperate and asked me to help you. Then you asked me to meet you at the hotel. Remember? I have a good impression of you, but I don't mean to force you. If you don't want to, just pretend that what happened today didn't happen. I promise not to mention it to anyone. Okay?"
Gu Ting's expression shifted after hearing this. How much money did she owe? She'd only just returned a few minutes ago, and now she was facing a double kill with a hotel room and debt. That rubbish system was truly unlucky for everyone involved! Otherwise, as a recent college graduate with no mortgage or car loan, what could she possibly owe?
The more Gu Ting thought about it, the angrier he became. He even felt very unhappy when looking at Wang Mingxiao. After scanning his face with an unfriendly look, he suddenly grabbed Wang Mingxiao's wrist and pressed it randomly. After that, he suddenly smiled.
Wang Mingxiao felt his scalp tingle inexplicably when she looked at him, but he still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Ting smiled: "Tinnitus, insomnia, night sweats, sore waist and knees, are you talking about this?"
Wang Mingxiao was stunned for a moment, "Miss Gu, you are really drunk."
Gu Ting's smile vanished in an instant, and he snorted coldly, "You have liver and gallbladder disorder, liver and kidney yin deficiency, and have been impotent for at least half a year. You still want to get a room with me?"
Wang Mingxiao was petrified on the spot. At that moment, a sense of brokenness emerged in his eyes, as if a gust of wind could easily blow him into pieces.
Gu Ting saw it all and finally understood why Wang Mingxiao looked melancholy yet very friendly. He was melancholy because he was not good enough, and he was gentle and friendly because he was not good enough. It was the result of the reduced secretion of male hormones.
Gu Ting took in his distraught look and didn't provoke him any further: "I guess you came to the hotel to find out how sick you are and whether you can be saved, right?"
The melancholy in Wang Mingxiao's eyes was so intense that it could not be dispelled.
Gu Ting looked around but didn't see the melon seeds he wanted to eat so much. He could only stand aside and talk casually: "It doesn't matter much, actually. Once you get used to it, you'll find that you are more rational, more focused, and more likely to succeed without the influence of hormones..."
Wang Mingxiao suddenly interrupted, staring at her with his melancholy eyes, and pleading in his gentleness: "Please don't tell anyone, okay?"
Gu Ting: "Ah?"
Wang Mingxiao: "I promised you 500,000 and I'll give you another 500,000 as compensation for tonight. What do you think?"
Although Gu Ting wanted to smile and say "OK", he was used to being poor, so he asked, "Isn't this extortion?"
Wang Mingxiao smiled, a smile that poor people cannot produce, as if to say: It’s only one million, are you insulting me?
"How can it be blackmail if it's something we both agreed on?"
Gu Ting agreed immediately, and every second of hesitation was an insult to one million.
"It's all as you say."
From now on, she will forgive the fake Gu Ting for one minute and sincerely thank her for inviting such a sucker!
Wang Mingxiao had a smile on his face, looking a bit better than before. "Besides that, I'd like to trouble Miss Gu to write me a confidentiality letter. This is the end of the matter. Is that okay?"
Gu Ting blinked and replied in seconds: "No problem! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
She understands that as a man, even if he becomes a dead ghost, he cannot be criticized by others.
She appeared normal on the surface, but something was amiss inside. She had never studied medicine, but she had easily guessed that the man had some kind of problem. Why was she so sure? Because among the many characters she had traveled through, there was an old doctor who had been practicing medicine for more than 40 years. She was so impressed because the old doctor didn't know anything else and could only treat one disease - impotence. That day, she was forced to see the impotent man for a whole day, and her horizons were broadened. How could she not be impressed?
Gu Ting: ...
It must be a special fate, otherwise it cannot be explained.
Wang Mingxiao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately opened his phone: "Give me the account number."
Gu Ting found his cell phone on the bedside table, unlocked it with facial recognition, and opened the mobile banking app with facial recognition. There were only two words written on the confidentiality agreement when the phone started to ring.
At 18:51 on October 1st, 1,100,000.00 yuan was transferred into your savings card with the last number XXXX. The current account balance is 1,100,000.02 yuan. [XX Bank]
Gu Ting was dazed looking at the long string of zeros. With just one simple sentence, there was inexplicably a lot more money in the account. One million and one hundred thousand?
"Why did you transfer an extra hundred thousand? Don't you trust my character?"
Wang Mingxiao smiled and said, "Meeting is fate. You and I are friends now. This is just a small token of my appreciation. It's nothing to me. Please accept it."
Gu Ting: "..." As a poor girl, what can she say? Take the money with tears in her eyes!
"Thank you, you're actually a good person."
Gu Ting quickly wrote a confidentiality agreement and kindly gave him a prescription, saying, "It's rude not to reciprocate. I have a hundred-year-old secret recipe here. If you don't mind, you can try it."
Anyway, the old doctor who has been practicing medicine for more than 40 years has these three or five prescriptions in his head. It’s up to him whether to use them or not.
Wang Mingxiao took the agreement and prescription and said, "Thank you. I hope that next time we meet, both of us will be at ease."
Gu Ting waved goodbye: "Bye!"
What a joke! She died 365 times and is still standing here alive and kicking. How could she be easily defeated by a small amount of money?
After Wang Mingxiao left, Gu Ting couldn't help but glance at her bank card balance again. Her mood brightened up again. In the first hour since she came back, she had made a net profit of 1.1 million. There was hope that the fake Gu Ting would be able to pay back the debt she owed! Once she paid back all the money, she, Gu Ting, would be a hero again!
From the day she left the orphanage, she told herself, "The more unfair fate is to me, the better I will live! In my world, no one can torture me!"
Taking advantage of her good mood, Gu Ting took a sip of water and prepared to start browsing her phone. Now that her body had been returned to its original owner, she naturally wanted to understand the life of the fake Gu Ting for the past year in order to prepare for what would happen next. She was an orphan, alone and helpless, with no close relatives to answer her questions, so she could only rely on her phone.
She was not interested in the life and privacy of the fake Gu Ting, but she had to find out whether the other party's behavior would affect her future life, just like Wang Mingxiao said just now that she owed a large sum of money.
An hour later, Gu Ting turned off her phone. She had a general understanding of what the fake Gu Ting had done in the past year. First of all, the fake Gu Ting was now signed to an entertainment company called Cheng Gong Media, but it seemed that the development was not very good.
Secondly, the fake Gu Ting had a boyfriend and spent a lot of money on him, but this ex-boyfriend named Li Xingzhou was a good-for-nothing. He lost money in stock trading and begged the fake Gu Ting for help. The fake Gu Ting was also stupid. She dared to borrow five million from a loan shark in her own name. When she gave the money to Li Xingzhou, Li Xingzhou ran away with the money that night.
The fake Gu Ting was pressed for debts by many parties and had no other choice but to ask his agent for help, which led to this shameful meeting tonight.
After learning that the fake Gu Ting owed more than five million in debt, it was impossible for Gu Ting to be happy. He could only comfort himself: five million in debt or continue to sing the death cycle in the other world? The answer is self-evident.
Gu Ting took two deep breaths and when she opened her eyes again, she had calmed down. Too many lice don't make it itchy, too many debts don't make you worry. Today is her first night back in her old age. Compared to money, she still values her life more.
Enjoy the long-lost freedom and life, and worry about other things tomorrow.
Gu Ting hadn't seen a real human being in a long time, and with the alcohol wearing off and a bit of hunger in her stomach, she couldn't wait to go out for a walk. Especially since the hotel she was staying at looked quite high-end, she had to experience it all.
Gu Ting was walking in the corridor leading to the elevator when she suddenly heard a cheer. Before she could listen carefully, a figure jumped out from the door in front and came face to face with Gu Ting.
The man was a slightly sturdy man wearing a neat suit and with shiny hair.
When the man in the suit saw Gu Ting, the grin on his face was still there, and he looked so proud.
"Beautiful lady, my proposal was successful! Xinxin is finally willing to marry me!" The man raised his arms and shouted, "I am the happiest man tonight! Hahahaha..."
One's own misfortune is painful, but other people's happiness is even more enviable. Gu Ting glanced at him coldly and turned sideways to leave.
The man in the suit was immersed in ecstasy and didn't notice Gu Ting's expression at all. He even smiled and took out a few stacks of pink banknotes from an unremarkable plastic bag and stuffed them into Gu Ting, saying proudly: "I'm very happy, so I'm giving some money to everyone to share in the joy. Everyone who sees it gets a share! Miss, you are the first one, you are so lucky..." and winked at her.
Gu Ting lowered her head and saw the most beautiful pink in the world. She was shocked. This thick stack of money must be worth at least 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. She couldn't help but think about it. The man's exaggerated smile was a success. Was that too much? He gave so much money at once, just to share his happiness and joy. Was it too much?
Not too much at all! So...
"Brother, you are a handsome and charming man, and your sister-in-law must be a beautiful woman, gentle and virtuous. I sincerely wish you and your sister-in-law: May you be together forever, have a son soon, grow old together, and have everything go smoothly from now on, be satisfied, have a lot of money, and become big and strong..."
After she finished speaking, Gu Ting's mouth was dry, but it didn't matter, she had to make this big brother worth his while.
The man in the suit was so overwhelmed by the blessings that he grabbed another handful from his bag and laughed loudly: "Hahahahahaha... How did you know that my wife is gentle and virtuous, beautiful and generous, and that she and I are a perfect match? Girl, you are my type, so I'll buy you some milk tea with this little money!"
What else could Gu Ting do? He could only go back to his room with the "small amount of money" that could buy thousands of cups of milk tea. After returning, he counted them anxiously. There were eleven stacks in total, which was eleven hundred and ten thousand.
There are only two words to describe Gu Ting's mood: NB!
She held the banknote and took a deep breath, hoping to absorb more wealth. At this moment, there were some strange noises outside the door.
