Chapter 1
It was a little after 1 a.m. on a quiet path, and even the street lights were half-lit.
It was cold and breezy, and the moon was covered by clouds and the moonlight was very dim. If it were ancient times, this would be a standard dark and windy night, a time for murder and arson. If you were walking outside in a nightgown, passers-by might not be able to see you.
Jiang Qi and others stood on the path waiting for Wang Erya to make her three-star selection.
Although the weather was very cold, the barbecue thermos bags were very heat-insulating. The barbecue in everyone’s hands was hot, and you could faintly smell the aroma of cumin and meat.
Wang Xinghua had already landed. She looked at everyone's phone bags and smacked her lips. "Why hasn't Erya made her choice yet? Are there so many things to choose from in this Samsung selection? Lamb ribs smell so good. I really want to eat lamb ribs!"
Jiang Qi: ...
In fact, Jiang Qi also felt that Wang Erya took a long time to make a choice. Considering that Wang Erya was, after all, a card character in a so-called card game, Jiang Qi even began to wonder if she was stuck.
There is a bug.
This is a **ug, I have to ask Xiaoka for clarification.
Jiang Qi took out his cell phone and found Xiao Ka, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time, and prepared to send a message.
As soon as a word was typed, Wang Erya moved.
"Boss, I'm a three-star!" Wang Erya said excitedly, the happiness, joy and excitement on her face were beyond words, "I'm a three-star, I can work for you for the rest of my life! I'm reborn as a human being!!"
"Hey, Erya sister, you finally finished your selection. Tell me what it's like to upgrade to three stars. What exactly is that three-star option? What took you so long? Do you know that I'm hungry? Do you know how painful it was for me standing there just now? Oh my God, the lamb ribs in the boss's hand smell so good. I want to go home and eat them as soon as possible!" Wang Xinghua excitedly floated back into the air.
"I just..." Wang Erya was about to speak when she was interrupted by Jiang Qi.
"Don't just stand there, go back first and talk while walking." Jiang Qi said.
Wang Erya nodded. She also needed time to organize her words.
"Just when Sister Xinghua was talking to me just now, a voice suddenly sounded in my mind. She told me that I had been upgraded to three stars and could make the three-star selection."
"Then she read me a long paragraph, 'Standards and Guarantees for Selecting Three-Star Card Characters.' The general idea was that I couldn't regret it and couldn't change my mind once I made my choice, so she asked me to choose carefully."
"Actually, the choice is quite simple. It just asks me to choose whether to stay here and continue working for my boss, or return to the underworld and continue queuing up for reincarnation."
"Of course I choose to stay here and continue to work for my boss! If I go back to the underworld and queue up for reincarnation again, I will have to wait another 5 years before I can get the chance. I don't even know if I can get a good rebirth with three meals a day and meat every meal. I may not necessarily meet a boss as good as mine after reincarnation."
"Also, when I went to the underworld to register, I told the ghost officer that I wanted to be reincarnated as an animal and become the landlord's dog. Although the ghost officer just laughed and ignored me at the time, what if he really remembered that I was reincarnated as a dog? Although being a dog is not bad, I still think it's better to be a human."
"Being a dog is not good at all!" Wang Xinghua retorted, "Dogs are omnivorous animals. They don't have to eat meat. They can eat sweet potatoes or rice. Compared to being a dog, it's actually better to be a cat, a very expensive cat. Cats are pure carnivores and can eat meat every meal."
"But being a dog or a cat is not as good as being a human. Humans live longer, while dogs and cats die after a dozen years, so they can eat less meat!"
Jiang Qi, Huang Fugui, and Old John:?
Is this the logic of being a good person?
Wang Erya thought it made a lot of sense and nodded vigorously in agreement: "So I chose to stay. After choosing to stay, I will be a person in the boss's world, and no longer a ghost waiting in line in the underworld to be reincarnated."
"And I remembered all my memories. Boss, do you know how many years I have been waiting in line in the underworld? 47 years! I have to wait another 5 years before it's my turn to reincarnate. Lili, I think you should come work for me. Working for me is much more interesting than waiting in line in the underworld to reincarnate."
"Lili, Gong Gong!" Lili was shocked by the extremely long queue of 475. "Lili, play the role of Guigui, Banban, give me the money."
"Erya, what do you mean when you say that after you stay, you will belong to my world?" Jiang Qi grasped the key point.
"I'm not sure either. The voice said that you would know what was going on, boss." Wang Erya looked at Jiang Qi, "Didn't the voice tell you, boss?"
Jiang Qi:?
Jiang Qi subconsciously glanced at his mobile phone and found that just when Wang Erya was speaking, Xiao Ka had sent him several long messages.
"I think I said, let's go back and have a barbecue while we see what happens."
"Erya, did that voice tell you what would happen if you chose to go back?" Huang Fugui asked impatiently.
"I told you, we're going back to our original world. I was still waiting in line for reincarnation in the underworld before I was summoned by the boss. If I choose to go back, I'll have to go back and continue waiting in line for reincarnation. That voice was very easy to talk to. I asked a lot of irrelevant questions, and she patiently told me that she had no comment and that she didn't know. She also..."
Wang Erya walked up to Huang Fugui and began to tell him everything that had happened to her during her trance.
"This choice is too weird." Wang Xinghua muttered in the air, "The rest of us are either trapped or dead, only Uncle Huang seems to be a human being. What's the point of returning to the original world? Do you want me to go back and continue to be trapped in the theater? When the crew finishes filming, there will be no one in the theater. I can't watch TV series or eat boxed lunches. What's the point of going back? I won't go back even if you ask me to."
"This should give you a choice." Jiang Qi said.
When Wang Erya said that she could actually choose to leave or stay, Jiang Qi roughly guessed that this was the last protection this card game gave to the card characters.
Excluding the special card of Wang Xinghua, Lili, the employee recruited with props, is also not included. Among the three existing character cards, except Huang Fugui who is suspected to be a person, Old John and Wang Erya are definitely ghosts.
But they don't have any ghostly qualities.
There are no superpowers, no lethality, and all skills are practical. Whether it is a human or a ghost, the card characters theoretically do not need to eat, sleep, will not get sick or injured, and are very suitable for exploitation.
If this card game is a high-freedom virtual business card game on a mobile phone, and there are no restrictions on summoning card characters, Jiang Qi will most likely exploit the card characters endlessly in order to make money. He will not need to eat, sleep, or rest. He will just be 007 and work endlessly for 24 hours.
As long as the money can be made quickly, it doesn’t matter whether it is sold to a black factory, sent to an illegal place to mine coal, or engaged in illegal activities.
Of course, the card characters might also resist, but Jiang Qi didn't know whether they would resist or not, and whether there were some restrictions on the card characters that prevented them from resisting.
The most he did was not paying wages, which was not a capital crime.
Jiang Qi felt that in this card game, players and cards had to make double choices.
Initially the player chooses the cards, then the cards choose the player.
The only regret is probably that there is no sense of accomplishment in upgrading to three stars.
He thought that after upgrading to 3 stars, Wang Erya would have some cool skills. Now it seems that upgrading to 3 stars is more like becoming a full-time employee.
Previously, these cards were in the internship period. After being promoted to three stars, they became regular employees. They could fire their bosses or choose to become formal employees.
I just don’t know if I can change jobs.
Jiang Qi went upstairs and went home with everyone, with a lot of messy thoughts in his mind.
Wang Erya was still talking about those strange questions she asked.
Old John roughly understood what the three-star upgrade meant, and felt that there was nothing good about it. Wang Xinghua and Jiang Qi took out the packaged barbecue and lamb ribs and placed them on the table.
The world is big, but eating midnight snack is the biggest thing.
"Erya, Uncle Huang, you can chat slowly after you finish eating. Come over here to eat barbecue and lamb ribs first. We have been delayed on the road for so long that the barbecue is a little cold. We need to eat quickly." Jiang Qi called out.
Wang Xinghua had already sat down. She picked up a string of lamb kidneys and took a bite.
Originally, Jiang Qi was planning to ask Jiang Bing to come up and eat with him, but considering that the topic they were going to talk about next might not be suitable for Jiang Bing to listen to, he simply didn't ask her.
Jiang Qi picked up a skewer of lamb sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, took a bite, and opened a can of Coke. The bubbly Coke went well with the lamb skewers. He ate three big skewers first, then took out his cell phone to see what message Xiao Ka had sent him.

Xiao Ka sent too many messages, some of which involved things like the so-called gifts given by the card characters, which Wang Erya had not mentioned before. Jiang Qi read Xiao Ka's messages several times for fear of missing anything wrong.
What kind of strange gift is a contract of sale?
Wang Erya gave herself a contract to sell her body. Whose was it? Was it her own?
Jiang Qi glanced at Wang Erya, who was smiling as she listened to Wang Xinghua's words, her eyes narrowed into slits while she was eating beef skewers with big mouthfuls of satisfaction, and clicked on the game interface with some surprise.
Find the card pack and select the character card.
[Character Card: Wang Erya]
Star rating: ★★★
Skills: Maid (Wang Erya worked as a maid in Gong's house for 9 years and is proficient in all the skills of a maid)
Acting as oneself (everyone is very good at playing themselves)
Ordinary maids (during the years when Wang Erya was waiting in line for reincarnation in the underworld, she met many ordinary maids who were waiting in line for reincarnation like her. She learned a lot of ordinary maids' skills from them, such as needlework, making snacks, etc. Although she never put them into practice, she had a wealth of theoretical knowledge)
Maid in Charge [Low-profile] (Twenty years after her reincarnation in the underworld, Wang Erya became a senior maid in charge of queuing because she had waited in line for too long. Like the other maid sisters who had taken her in to help her get familiar with the queuing environment in the underworld, she took in other new maids, some of whom were maids in charge of wealthy families or even royal palaces who had done well in their lives. Wang Erya learned a lot of skills of a maid in charge from them, such as personnel allocation and management, accounting, purchasing, interpersonal communication, banquets, etc. However, since she had never put them into practice, she only had some theoretical knowledge, so it might not be useful)
Card details: An ordinary girl born in Xiahe Village, named Erya because she is the second child, has complete memories of her life. After death, she wandered in the human world for many years, and then came to the underworld through the third office of the underworld to queue up for reincarnation. During the 47 years of queuing, she saw all kinds of ghosts, heard all kinds of stories, and learned a lot of unknown skills. She can endure hardships and work, is good at communicating with people, has a certain level of accounting, and has almost zero material desires. As long as she can live, her biggest wish is to work for boss Jiang Qi for the rest of her life.
Samsung character information:
[Name] Wang Qinghe
[Gender] Female
[Age] 16 years old
[Birthday] July 3 (Remember this date? This is the day you summoned her!)
[Educational background] Graduated from Shanghe Village Primary School, Anping Town Middle School, junior high school education
[Basic information] Both parents died, and he went to live with his uncle. He currently lives in No. 501, Unit 2, Building 6, Sunshine Community, Xuncheng
Jiang Qi carefully read all the card information updated by Wang Erya. There was not much change compared to when she was two stars, but with the household registration information, educational background, and ID card, the card character who did not eat, drink, grow, or change has been turned into a living person with age and birthday. Wang Erya's life will be much more convenient in the future.
You can use your ID card to buy tickets for travel, you can enroll in cram school and go to a private high school, and if she doesn't mind, you can even use your connections to go back to junior high school and be Qingqing's classmate.
From this moment on, Wang Erya became a real, living modern person with an ID card and household registration information.
As for the fact that both parents are dead in the basic information, it is actually understandable. After all, the game has no way to create a pair of living parents for Wang Erya. Even the uncle she went to for refuge is still an illegal resident.
As for the indenture.
When Jiang Qi clicked on the indenture contract, his face was full of question marks.
How to say it?
This indenture is quite modern.
It's just illegal.
[Selling Body Contract] Wang Erya will hand over her selling body contract to the player Jiang Qi from now on. Wang Erya promises to give every penny she earns from her work to Jiang Qi and work for Jiang Qi for free for life. If she violates this, she will be immediately recalled to the original world by the game.
There is also Wang Erya's signature and fingerprint on it.
This indenture would have made the landlords in ancient times cry when they saw it.
In ancient times, if you sold yourself to work as a maid in a landlord's house, you could at least get some rewards during the holidays. If you worked well, you could get a promotion and also get wages. If you worked hard and saved, you might even have a chance to redeem yourself.
Wang Erya was a big deal. With her indenture, she not only sold herself, but also all her lifetime wages.
No wonder when she came to her senses, the first thing she blurted out to Jiang Qi was "I'm a three-star, I can work for you forever!"
Isn't this a lifetime job? If it wasn't impossible to sell her next life as well, Jiang Qi suspected that Wang Erya would sign the indenture to sell herself for her next life as well.
"Erya." Jiang Qi was very touched but also felt a little complicated.
If I had known earlier, I would have let Wang Erya take an online political course.
Learn some Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Ideological and Political Theory. It is understandable that you want to work for a boss, but there is no need to go so far as to sign a contract to sell yourself.
"Boss, did you see what I gave you?" Wang Erya swallowed the meat in her mouth. "The voice told me that I can choose something I have and give it to you, boss."
"I know the boss is short of money recently, and you spent a lot of money to help me upgrade my star. I really want to give money to you, the boss, but that voice said that the only thing I can give is what I had before."
"I have nothing, not even incense and merit. The voice said that if I had nothing, I could actually give air and blessings. Fortunately, I was smart and thought of the last thing I could give. Boss, do you like this gift?" Wang Erya looked at Jiang Qi with anticipation.
Jiang Qi: ...
Jiang Qi could only smile at Wang Erya: "I like the thoughtfulness of this gift."
"Next time, give gifts to others within your means, and don't give yourself as a gift."
"Sister Erya, what did you give?" Wang Xinghua asked curiously.
"I gave away my indenture contract!" Wang Erya said loudly.
"Puff." Old John couldn't help but sprayed the Coke in his mouth.
Fortunately, he turned his head when he sprayed, otherwise the lamb ribs and unfinished barbecue on the table would be gone.
Old John thought for a moment and said, "I'll teach you the Labor Law when I have time tomorrow."
"No, it should be..." Old John was also confused. He couldn't think of what law referred to as a contract to sell one's body.
"Teach me some criminal law." Jiang Qi said, "Before I go to jail one day."
"By the way, Erya, do you want to go to school?" Jiang Qi asked.
Since Wang Erya is so devoted to him that she has nothing to give him and has even sold her body indenture, Jiang Qi cannot be partial and must consider Wang Erya's future.
Wang Erya thought about it and said honestly, "Yes."
She used to envy Qingqing the most because she could go to school every day, although Qingqing didn't seem very willing to go to school.
"There are still nine months until the start of school in September next year. Erya, you should study hard in these nine months and learn as much as you can. If you can finish the junior high school content, you can go to a private high school. If you can't finish it, your boss will ask someone to use his connections and spend some money to put you in a junior high school class. You can also experience the high school entrance examination."
"The boss is hiring a tutor for you..." Jiang Qi said, and suddenly remembered that he couldn't afford a tutor due to the current deficit in his account, so he quickly changed the subject, "I'll hire a tutor for you in a while, and during this time, Xinghua, you can help Erya with her lessons. It should be no problem, Xinghua, you should be able to understand all the junior high school textbooks at home, right?"
"I can understand math, physics, chemistry, English and Chinese, but not necessarily the others." Wang Xinghua said, looking at Jiang Qi, her face full of the cost of tutoring.
"10 bucks an hour."
"Okay, boss. Don't worry. I will definitely teach Erya!" Wang Xinghua promised, patting her chest.
"Erya, we will study all night tonight. You are responsible for keeping time. Don't worry, boss, I will definitely not falsify the time." Wang Xinghua couldn't wait to work.
Although Wang Erya also wanted to study all night, she was unable to do so after becoming a human. In fact, she was already a little sleepy.
Wang Erya yawned: "But Sister Xinghua, I'm a little sleepy now. Can I sleep first and then study after I wake up?"
"Ah, Erya, you still want to sleep now?!" Wang Xinghua was shocked, as if she saw countless 10-yuan bills with wings flying away from her. "If you sleep 8 hours a day, you will only have 16 hours to study. I will earn 80 yuan less every day."
Jiang Qi & Old John & Huang Fugui: ???
Lili: =()
"I'm sorry, Sister Xinghua." Wang Erya apologized sincerely.
Jiang Qi: ...
Jiang Qi looked at Old John and said, "Please bring Xinghua with you next time you teach Erya."
