Chapter 1: People! Money! 99!
Within three years, you will make all those targeted fall for you.
If you fail, you'll be stuck here with your account balance... living like an ordinary person.
Upon hearing the new system's detailed explanation of the plot, Qi Shaoyou made her decision: she would retire from this world of universally adored women!
She worked tirelessly in the villain system for eight hundred worlds, earning 30 billion, all for the sake of retirement!
So they told her the retirement system was malfunctioning? She's going to be transferred to the "most popular" group to continue being a slave?
No! Absolutely not!
Since the formal retirement channels are blocked, and she's forced to continue working at the "Most Popular Woman" world, she'll just take her savings and retire right here!
So Qi Shaoyou pretended to be extremely cooperative, acting as if he was fine with it, and let her be successfully teleported to the new world.
"Shaoyou, don't be too sad..."
Liang Man looked at the girl beside her and sighed softly.
What a pitiful child, losing both parents at only nineteen years old.
Inside the van, Liang Man's gaze fell on an unusually quiet girl, who pursed her lips and remained silent.
She was wearing a black shirt and trousers, and her long, dark hair was gently ruffled by the wind that slipped in through the car window.
A faint melancholy lingered in those dark blue eyes, lending a fragile quality to their breathtaking beauty.
Qi Shaoyou was naturally depressed; who wouldn't be depressed if their retirement was delayed that day! Her mental state was already quite stable.
The system notification tone of 0527 rang in Qi Shaoyou's ears at just the right moment:
[Host, this is our third mission target: international film star Liang Man.]
You are currently the daughter of her friend, and have just been adopted by her.
0527 hurriedly transmitted Liang Man's information into Qi Shaoyou's mind.
Qi Shaoyou's lips curled into a smile as a brilliant but wicked idea popped into his head.
Your good friend's daughter, right?
Of course, Liang Man couldn't fall in love with her friend's daughter; she was now firmly bound by that identity! Moral constraints! They were drastically increased for her!
Let's act!
Qi Shaoyou's dark blue eyes instantly welled up with tears. She looked at Liang Man, her voice trembling just the right amount: "Aunt Liang, from now on... you'll be my only family."
Of course, as an excellent mission taker, Qi Shaoyou always has a Plan B ready.
Liang Man dislikes vain people the most. If she really develops feelings for him, Qi Shaoyou will immediately portray himself as the most vain person imaginable.
To get 30 billion and travel the world, what's a little self-deprecation!
Besides, she's the number one villain!
She plays villains with ease! Completely uninhibited! She's a pro!
"Shaoyou, I will definitely take good care of you." Liang Man reached out and hugged the girl beside her, stroking the child's long hair, which was as cool as silk.
Liang Man had long, black curly hair and a faint, alluring jasmine scent emanating from her.
Time seemed to have been exceptionally kind to her, only enhancing her beauty. She wore a black cheongsam, her beautiful curves captivating all who looked at her.
Many alphas only need to glance at her to immediately decide that they must win Liang Man's heart in this lifetime.
Qi Shaoyou felt a little embarrassed; she had no idea how many years she had lived, yet she was still being treated like a child here.
Moreover, Liang Man is so beautiful; being embraced by her feels like being blessed by a deity.
Qi Shaoyou silently recited her own unique mantra in her mind: "Three hundred billion loves me, I love three hundred billion."
Women? Sorry, she doesn't like being a dog for women!
For some reason, 0527 felt that something was wrong with the host.
[Host, please be sure to actively pursue this strategy.]
[Only with proactive strategies will your account balance be unfrozen after three years. A passive approach might result in your money...]
[To be reduced to ashes.]
Qi Shaoyou froze; she had underestimated the system's anti-slacking mechanism.
"How could that be?" Qi Shaoyou immediately retorted, "Do I look like someone who's passively pursuing a partner?"
Damn capitalism! They even try to stop her from pursuing her retirement!
[By the way, your superiors just notified you that the favorability ratings of the three task targets will be linked to your account balance in real time.]
For every point you increase your favorability rating, you can spend 100 million in this world.
[Current spending limit: 0.]
Upon hearing this news, Qi Shaoyou was anything but happy. Aside from the fact that it meant she couldn't completely give up...
Based on the system's consistently stingy practices and its penchant for setting traps for task takers, she suddenly realized something:
[Could this world... be a vacation world?]
When Qi Shaoyou asked that question, he felt his heart stop beating.
【Yes~】0527’s sweet voice sounded particularly jarring at this moment.
If he could, Qi Shaoyou would only want to humanely destroy all the systems right now!
The vacation world means that if she fails to retire successfully here, her account balance will be used as her vacation expenses and will be reduced to zero upon returning to the system space.
Yes, at that time her 30 billion would really vanish into thin air.
If she doesn't successfully retire here, she'll become penniless!
She had no way out...
At this moment, the sadness on Qi Shaoyou's face was truly moving.
"Ahem, although it's very touching, it would be better if the two of you kept a little distance." The agent's words made Qi Shaoyou nimbly jump out of Liang Man's arms.
She wants to reduce physical contact!
Although that embrace was fragrant and soft, it was simply paradise on earth!
But her heart is worth 30 billion!
"Manman, this child is an alpha, and you are an omega. Do you really want her to live with you?" The manager looked at her artist with concern.
Qi Shaoyou's lips twitched. So the jasmine scent she had been smelling was pheromones?
She even thought it smelled nice and wanted to ask Liang Man what perfume it was...
An even bigger bolt of lightning struck, and Qi Shaoyou felt his head spinning.
Don't tell me... this is an ABO world?!
Qi Shaoyou felt as fragile as a piece of paper, as if a gust of wind could shatter her.
Yes, host.
In the ABO world, humans have evolved into six genders.
Alphas possess superior physical attributes and intelligence, while omegas are intelligent and fertile. However, both experience estrus cycles and are affected by pheromones, thus entering an estrus period.
Once in heat, both alphas and omegas are essentially unable to control their behavior.
Betas are relatively ordinary; they can't smell pheromones and are therefore not controlled by them. For example, the agent in front of us is a beta.
One of Qi Shaoyou's sources of confidence was that lesbian relationships are inherently difficult in modern society, and she could easily imply "we are just friends" after the other person develops feelings for her.
She's a bit of a jerk, but she'll give him a little money as compensation. She's willing to be a jerk for the sake of retirement.
Now, being a second gender is no obstacle at all in the ABO world!
That damn main system is just messing with her!
Stay calm, you must stay calm. You absolutely cannot abandon the mission now, nor can you reveal any weaknesses. Otherwise, if 0527 sends her back, her 30 billion will be gone without a trace!
[I see! What a wonderful world!]
Completing the task has become much easier!
Qi Shaoyou was reading those two sentences with a completely emotionless tone, even more mechanical than 0527.
So she pinned her last hope on Liang Man.
As long as Liang Man shakes her head, she can go live with her agent, or rent a house or stay in a hotel!
Alpha and Omega's heat cycles are practically a bug; what if they permanently mark a target...?
Just imagining it, Qi Shaoyou could see 30 billion yuan growing wings and flying away.
No! Absolutely not!
Unfortunately, Liang Man couldn't hear her inner cries.
"No need, Shaoyou will stay with me. I want to take good care of her in place of her mother."
As Liang Man spoke, she reached out to tidy up the stray hairs behind Qi Shaoyou's ear, her jasmine-scented fingers gently brushing against her cheek.
Liang Man's beauty is undeniable, which is why she became an international film queen.
Such close contact would be irresistible to any alpha.
The agent carefully observed Qi Shaoyou's reaction.
She would not agree to live together if Qi Shaoyou overstepped the bounds in the slightest.
However, Qi Shaoyou's reaction was unexpected; her expression remained unchanged and instead became particularly serious.
She looked at her agent solemnly and said, "Sister, could you please approve a box of inhibitors for me to put in my room? I need them in my room, and Aunt Liang's room needs them too."
"Will one box not be enough? How many tubes are in one box? Or should we buy them individually?"
"Give me a hundred!"
Qi Shaoyou actually wanted to say 1,000, but he was afraid of being sanctioned by 0527, so he reluctantly omitted a zero.
Liang Man chuckled, her eyes crinkling as she laughed, brightening the entire van.
"See? I told you Shaoyou is a good kid."
The agent breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Qi Shaoyou's words.
She insisted on testing whether Qi Shaoyou was a wicked person.
Liang Man shouldn't be forced to be marked just because she was kind-hearted. As her agent, she must protect Liang Man.
[Host, why do you need inhibitors? Are you slacking off?] 0527 asked sharply.
Qi Shaoyou seemed to hear the account balance crying out for help.
【What do you know? This is called strategic retreat! If I appeared impatient, I would have to move out now to reduce my contact with Liang Man.】
How will we raise our favorability then?
Qi Shaoyou spoke with such confidence and conviction, as if he had planned this ingenious scheme from the very beginning.
Only she knew that her heart was bleeding!
Damn it! If I'd known she had no sense of propriety, I would have just moved out!
After a moment's thought, 0527 silently withdrew the short report that was about to be submitted.
[Putting that aside for now, why isn't there any affection level displayed?]
I remember your "Most Popular Person" system usually displays the affection level above the target's head, right?
0527 immediately gave Qi Shaoyou a reply that almost made him vomit blood: 【Oh, host, you mean this!】
[This feature was originally included, but the main system anticipated your potential for slacking off and removed it.]
At this moment, Qi Shaoyou's only thought was to disassemble the silicon-based organism in the main system into parts and melt it down at high temperatures!
[However, host, don't worry. I felt this wasn't fair to your strategy, so I specifically requested an alternative.]
0527 noticed that Qi Shaoyou was about to have his soul leave his body, so he decided to deliver some good news.
"Will you notify me when my favorability reaches 100?" Qi Shaoyou asked listlessly, his beautiful dark blue eyes losing all their luster, as if they had turned from gems into stone.
No, it will be displayed when the affection level reaches 99!
This way we can celebrate our victory early!
Finally, on May 27th, some decent news arrived.
Qi Shaoyou was already somewhat desperate. 99 is 99, at least he could still struggle at the last moment.
This is practically our last lifeline!
Qi Shaoyou secretly made up her mind: once the favorability rating reaches 99, she will definitely do the thing that the mission target hates the most!
Save your trump card for last!
Qi Shaoyou's eyes were firm; she believed she could do it!
No one can stop her from being with 30 billion forever!
People! Money! 99! That's what she said!
"Shaoyou, we're home." As Liang Man spoke, the van slowly came to a stop.

The heroine's name comes from a poem by Liu Guo: "I wanted to buy osmanthus flowers and share wine, but it's not like the carefree days of my youth." This expresses the heroine's desire to go out and play.
Qi Shaoyou: I really want to go out and play!!! [Cracking face]
