As soon as Sui Yi regained consciousness, she felt an unbearable bitterness in her mouth and couldn't help but frown. But then she heard a cry of surprise beside her.
"Hey boss, look, Ninth Sister is waking up! I just saw her frowning," Sixth Brother exclaimed excitedly.
After hearing what Lao Liu said, everyone gathered around. Sui Yi slowly opened her eyes and looked completely bewildered at the scene before her. "What's going on? Commander?"
"I don't know either. They just went to see 'Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf'," the system said rather embarrassedly.
"When did you get this feature? How come I didn't know? Did you secretly deduct my points?" Sui Yi asked suspiciously.
"There's a lot you don't know, so don't accuse me of anything," the system immediately retorted.
"That'd better be the case. If I find out you're secretly using my points, you'll regret it," Sui Yi threatened. She then ignored the system and looked at the people in front of her. From her observation, these beggars all knew the original owner of this body, and their relationship was quite close. Without absorbing the original owner's memories, Sui Yi decided to remain unchanged and see how things developed, secretly trying to guess which book she had transmigrated into.
"Ninth Sister, you're awake. How are you feeling? Does your head still hurt?" asked the beggar who looked a little older.
"Hmm, my head hurts a lot. Please leave so I can rest in peace," Suiyi said.
Hearing Sui Yi's words, the group showed tension on their faces, but fearing to disturb Ninth Sister's rest, they all left. After they left, Sui Yi relaxed and began to receive the original owner's memories. From the original owner's memories, this was the ancient Baiyi Continent, and the original owner was an orphan abandoned by her parents at a young age. By chance, she was found and raised by a group of beggars, joining their large family. Because she was the youngest among them, the ninth, she was named Qi Jiu (Beggar Nine). The other eight were named after their ages, one through eight. The reason the original owner died was because she was starving and decided to go to the village with Lao Qi to beg for food, but they were chased by a vicious dog. She accidentally fell into a fishpond and was nearly dead when she was pulled out. Because the beggars didn't know how to save someone, they made a mess of things and were killed. Sui Yi didn't know what to say.
"Master, help me remember which book I'm in." Sui Yi really couldn't recall when she had written this kind of plot.
"What's the use of knowing the book title? Your book isn't even finished. And you're just cannon fodder who didn't even survive five chapters, knowing the plot won't help you either," the system retorted.
What are the mission requirements?
"The requirement is to become the richest person on the entire continent," the system said with a wicked grin.
"..." Sui Yi was dumbfounded. She had truly given up all hope for the system. It had actually given her such a bizarre task: how could a beggar become the richest person on the entire continent? If this were modern times, becoming the richest person would be a simple matter of reaching out, speculating in stocks, gambling, or hacking banks—it would be a matter of minutes. But in ancient times, even heroes could be brought down by a single penny, let alone the original owner of this body, a beggar who didn't have a single copper coin.
Sui Yi was troubled, but the first thing she needed to do was change her current predicament. No one could tolerate this hostile environment. Sui Yi threw off the tattered quilt covering her, straightened her clothes, and went outside. There she saw the beggars sitting by the fire, warming themselves.
"Where did the Eighth Brother go?" Suiyi walked over, but only saw seven people. She asked since the Eighth Brother was not there.
"Old Eight went up the mountain to find medicine for you, and he hasn't come back yet," Old Five replied.
"Ninth Sister, thank goodness you're awake! We were all so worried about you," Sixth Brother said as he ran over to Suiyi.
"Yes, yes. You scared us just now. We thought you were possessed by a water ghost and turned into this." After saying that, Lao Qi imitated Sui Yi's situation just now.
She was exasperated. How could she have looked so ugly? It must have been the original owner of this body. Sui Yi refused to admit that it was because she was overwhelmed by the stench.
"Ninth Sister, you're lucky you woke up in time, otherwise you would have been doused with boy's urine if you had been any later," said Sixth Brother.
"What?" Sui Yi wondered if she was hallucinating and wanted to confirm it again.
