Whether it was a coincidence or not, Mu Anqi's luck this time was surprisingly good. Perhaps the ghosts coming to the haunted house had already tried all the other attractions in the amusement park? Combined with the token from completing the haunted house, her total tokens had actually reached a perfect 100! Si Suying's tokens reached 52, and Zhao Guogu had 65 tokens. All of them had surpassed the 50 token threshold.
Having received their tokens, they could now directly complete the game and return to the Nirvana Space.
But before that…
"Let's add each other as friends!" Mu Anqi invited. "We have two other friends who played together with us. Can we add you to the group chat too? Maybe we'll have opportunities to team up in the future."
Si Suying glanced at Zhao Guogu and nodded: "Sure."
[Game Completed: Amusement Park of All Things. Rating in progress—]
[Rating: S (Why aren't there any bamboo shoots in the amusement park?)]
[Passive Triggered! Received completion points: 2000]
[Drawing official player completion reward items—]
[ Ding! Congratulations, player has received [A Never-Ending Gel Pen] ]
[Special Mark Detected!]
[ Beep! Please play the next game within seven days! (Or the game will be forced after 168 hours) ]
[Would you like to teleport back to Nirvana Space?]
Mu Anqi glanced at Zhao Guogu and Si Suying, who had already been teleported back, and silently replied, "Yes."
In the next moment, she returned to the Nirvana Space, still holding an ordinary gel pen, completely black.
Perhaps she could consider spending a point to buy a few notebooks. Mu Anqi thought as she leisurely lay down on a lounge chair and opened her panel to admire it.
Player: Mu Anqi
Age: 20
Ability: I've got plenty of money
Points: 2194.6
Transaction Serial Number: 64805368
Guan Si: 3672
2194.6—a beautiful number. Even the decimal point seemed unusually cute, making Mu Anqi feel perfectly satisfied just looking at it.
Of course, there were many places where points needed to be spent. Her smoke bombs needed replenishing, though rough-quality ones would suffice. The paper substitute dolls were also very useful; this time she could buy several at once to stock up. Special bullets for ghosts and demons could also be stocked again. After all, the card format was convenient for carrying and storing. The item shop also sold storage rings, but those were too expensive—800 points per cubic meter. Mu Anqi didn't think it was worth it. Her current items were all portable, so there was no rush to buy one.
What if one day [Passive: Fortune on Me] reaches full points, and she gets it in a single draw?
After lazily admiring her balance for about twenty minutes on the lounge chair, Mu Anqi finally spared a glance to open the blinking group chat, and saw Zhao Guogu had added Si Suying to the chat.
[Zhao Guogu]: @Mu Anqi Thanks to the rich lady for carrying me—my first-ever S rating, I almost fainted!
[Si Suying]: @Mu Anqi /fist bump Thanks!
Mu Anqi glanced again. Wu Sansheng was in the game… oh right, last time she went to the trial dungeon, the Black Mirror vortex dungeon probably finished in a day. Wu Sansheng must have just finished her break and entered a new dungeon.
[Chu Zhongfei]: …It's just one game, but what happened in this world?
[Mu Anqi]: You're welcome. It's the result of everyone's effort together.
Lying lazily on the lounge chair, Mu Anqi "effortfully" replied with her mind. She thought, if she were to go solo, she'd probably have been blown to pieces by the missiles in KartRider. Even if she survived, she'd probably have to use her limited skills.
Wu Sansheng was in the game—Mu Anqi didn't know which ghost had recruited her, whether it was the Taiyin faction or the Capital faction. Hmm, Mu Anqi hesitated for a moment. She didn't know if players under the same BOSS could team up to clear the Black Mirror Vortex. Thinking about it, she could save a team-up card—what a profit!
Mu Anqi opened Wu Sansheng's chat window, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked:
[Mu Anqi]: Did you pass the trial? Are you in the Taiyin faction or the Capital faction? Maybe we can team up to clear the Vortex later.
After sending the message, Mu Anqi glanced at the group chat again. Zhao Guogu was explaining to Chu Zhongfei what they had experienced in this game. She closed the chat, went to the bathroom, carefully washed her hands and face, dried off, and then sat solemnly on the edge of the bed, opening her ability panel with great seriousness.
[Spend 200 points to obtain a random skill?]
Yes! Passive! Upgrade!
[ Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the skill: Rich Lady Aura! ]
[Rich Lady Aura]: (Effective only on players) When activated, in the consciousness of other players, you will appear as a moving rich lady!
Mu Anqi slowly typed out a question mark. What was up with this ability? Why were all these ridiculous skills being thrown in?
Of course, among the skill names, these still matched quite well with [I've got plenty of money]. But that didn't change the fact that Mu Anqi had just unlocked another useless ability.
Why would players perceive her as a moving rich lady? Was it to make it easier to be robbed? She didn't need to look for a pretty boy, nor did she need to show off. Besides, who doesn't know "make money quietly"? This skill…
Mu Anqi felt a pang of regret—what a loss! She thought that even if the skill draws were skewed or repetitive, it wouldn't matter. Any skill would be a boost. Really, she had been far too naive. Even with a passive slight luck bonus, she still drew this utterly useless aura.
Which was stronger, superpowers or maxed-out luck? Mu Anqi didn't know. Anyway, she was currently quite envious of Zhao Guogu.
…Zhao Guogu was probably quite envious of her too.
After drawing the skill, Mu Anqi sighed, regretting not washing her hands and face—maybe then she could have borrowed some of Zhao Guogu's luck and avoided drawing something like this. But no matter how much she regretted it, it was useless. Resigned, Mu Anqi got up and checked the items in her backpack. The cheap hand grenades bought from Si Suying had seven left, along with the lollipops and pistols. Ordinary bullets had two sets left and would last a long time, since they were only used in KartRider and bumper cars. Ghost bullets had twelve, demon bullets still had three unused sets. There was also a bottle of strawberry-flavored nutritional liquid, a General Ji's token, and a Guan Si card.
"If only Si Suying could make smoke bombs," Mu Anqi sighed. Smoke bombs sold by other players cost 10 points each. Before encountering the 1-point hand grenades, Mu Anqi had thought those smoke bombs were really cheap—but now…
After checking her current items, Mu Anqi grabbed her backpack and went out shopping. She didn't know if Ji Huaichu would call her to the Shattered Mirror Continent this time, but it was better to be prepared in advance.
Five paper substitute dolls, discounted to 320 points. Ten sets of special bullets for ghosts and ten cards of special bullets for demons, discounted to a total of 320 points.
A new set of sportswear with shoes, plus a set of pajamas with slippers, discounted to a total of 24 points. Mu Anqi hesitated for a moment, then spent 1 point to buy a regular candy jar.
Watching her points drop to 1,329.6, Mu Anqi couldn't help but sigh: Points really disappear fast.
If she ever bought a Gatling gun spinning 3,600 rounds per minute… the point consumption would be terrifying.
After finishing shopping, Mu Anqi walked lightly into the food store, spent 4 points on a delicious meal, and then returned to her room to shower and sleep.
Hmm, she really needed to go to bed early. After all, Mu Anqi had no idea what time it was on General Ji's side. If there was another "life-taking" teleport at five in the morning, it would be disastrous. Before sleeping, Mu Anqi took out the candy jar, filled it with her lollipops and bell candies, closed the lid, put it in her backpack, and fell asleep peacefully.
She slept soundly until sunrise, with no news from General Ji. Waking up naturally, Mu Anqi felt a little disappointed—she had wanted to share the excitement of her S rating with her. But since General Ji hadn't invited her, she felt awkward bringing up her "S rating" on her own. After all, from a Kaigen-period BOSS's perspective, that probably wasn't something to be proud of.
After settling her mood, Mu Anqi, now with ample points, naturally went to the training grounds to practice her shooting. She decided to try intermediate-level gun skills, curious if she could learn the legendary "Gun Combat Technique."
Reluctantly spending 80 points on two hours of intermediate gun lessons, Mu Anqi gained a lot from the virtual teacher's guidance, then sheepishly returned to the beginner training ground.
She just couldn't handle it—couldn't handle it. Even if the Heavenly King himself came, she still couldn't endure training at the original cost of 50 points per hour. Heart aching, Mu Anqi rested in the Nirvana Space for three days. When her points dropped to 1,106.6, she finally received General Ji's teleport invitation at six o'clock on the fourth morning.
"General Ji's schedule… really is healthy," Mu Anqi yawned as she rushed to the bathroom for a quick wash, changed clothes, packed her backpack and items, and accepted the invitation.
The familiar city gate, the familiar Taiyin main city. Mu Anqi walked briskly toward the gate and, as expected, saw General Ji waiting for her in casual clothes.
"General!" Mu Anqi called out, barely containing her excitement. "I got an S rating in the game this time!"
"Not bad." Ji Huaichu, of course, already knew Mu Anqi's rating, but seeing the little money tree so thrilled, she still gave her affirmation. Among players who had played the same number of times, Mu Anqi was already considered outstanding. If a troublesome Black Mirror Vortex appeared on the Shattered Mirror Continent, Ji Huaichu thought Mu Anqi could fully assist her in clearing it.
Mu Anqi smiled, looking at Ji Huaichu's face, and couldn't help but think: the general really is stunning!
So, seeing a beauty on the Ferris wheel was perfectly normal! Mu Anqi placed her backpack on the ground, took out the candy jar full of bell candies, and held it out to Ji Huaichu. "General, for you!"
Ji Huaichu's gaze paused on the jar of candies for a moment before she reached out and took it. "Mm." She looked at the little money tree smiling brightly, then glanced at the clear sky. For some reason, her mood lifted considerably. The little money tree had performed very well this time; perhaps… she deserved a reward.
