Chapter 1: What is more terrifying than traveling through time is that I traveled through time and became poor
"Dear citizen Jiang Qiuqiu, there are 1231.3 star coins remaining in your StarNet account."
"Hello, your house is due in a month, did you forget?"
"Hello, Ms. Jiang Qiuqiu. Your nutritional supplement package will expire in three days. Would you like to renew it in advance?"
"Ms. Jiang Qiuqiu, your electricity usage fee—"
"Star Network usage fee—"
"It's almost the end of the month, please pay on time~"
After reading this, Jiang Qiuqiu felt a numbness in her heart. In this world, what could be more terrifying than traveling through time? It would be me traveling through time and becoming poor.
Jiang Qiuqiu, originally a 21st-century food blogger with followers on Tik Tok and Bilibili, unexpectedly encountered an accident while filming a travel vlog, and she suddenly traveled to the interstellar age.
But before she could marvel at the reality of spaceships, robots, and holographic networks! Humans could truly travel through space and build cities on planets! She was inundated with information about her namesake, the original owner, Jiang Qiuqiu.
Jiang Qiuqiu was born in the interstellar era on a low-level planet of the federal tribe. When she was eight years old, her parents died one after another, and she was left in an orphanage.
Fortunately, when she was 16, the orphanage conducted a genetic test for her, and Jiang Qiuqiu was found to possess B+ level mental power, which gave her the opportunity to be accepted into a school in the federal capital. However, she was expelled from the school after only a few days because she offended a powerful figure.
Jiang Qiuqiu, who had lost her admission qualification, was unwilling to go back. She applied for federal relief and worked to make a living. She also kept complaining to the school, hoping to get a fair judgment, but every letter of complaint fell on deaf ears.
Jiang Qiuqiu's complaint remained unanswered until her eighteenth birthday. The Federal Empire only provided relief funds to children under the age of eighteen. Without relief funds, the original owner's meager salary was simply not enough to cover expenses on the capital planet.
So, with a bleak future ahead of her, Jiang Qiuqiu committed suicide on her eighteenth birthday. On the same day, Jiang Qiuqiu from the 21st century arrived here.
Once upon a time, Jiang Qiuqiu was a wealthy young woman with an eight-digit balance on her card. Now, she is a poor interstellar person who is about to go bankrupt at the end of the month.
There was no time to grieve over the passing of time. Jiang Qiuqiu learned from the original owner's memory that in the Federation, owing bills was a very serious crime. If one did not pay on time, he would most likely be sent to a low-level planet to mine or to sweep toilets in harsh areas to pay back the debt!
…
How can this be!
She first calculated how much she would have to pay at the end of the month. The electricity, water, and nutrient solution bills added up to about 1,100 star coins. She had money in her account to pay the bills, but after this month, next month's rent, internet fees, labor and miscellaneous expenses would add up to 2,800 star coins, which she could not afford at all.
In the interstellar age, uneducated labor like the original owner wasn't expensive. Working tirelessly for a month only earned around 1,300 star coins, a sum that wasn't enough.
She had to do something, otherwise she would be kicked out of the mine just after her new life.
In the original owner's memory, the live streaming industry is also very popular in this era. Perhaps, she can try to return to her old career and support herself by live streaming food?
Jiang Qiuqiu did it right away. She opened StarNet and started searching for news about food live streaming.
