Chapter 54: Chapter 54: The Wheel Turns—Even the Master Gets Rejected...
Next—
Ji You continued to browse through the comnts on the 9 Grass Seed Fruit Pendants.
stars - Master’s Little Cutie: [Ahhh... I’ve checked the pendant, and it’s real... Trust in Ah Da, achieve immortality. No—trust in the Master, achieve immortality.]
Ji You: "..."
If she hadn’t been sure she was just an owner of a small store on Star Network, she would have thought she was dealing with feudal superstition!
stars - White Cat Hehehe: [Koi bowing down! Hahaha... Finally, it’s my turn to discover a treasure, spiritual power successfully increased by Level 1, thank you, Master!]
Ji You: "..."
No escape now.
What this custor bought was definitely a Soul Device.
stars - I Love My Ho: [The first ti making an impulsive purchase while watching a live stream, I regretted it imdiately and wanted to return it, but I got delayed and forgot to apply for a return. Thankfully I forgot, otherwise I would have been part of the Wailing Brigade at Central Plaza.]
star - What’s Wrong with a Bad Review: [As a professional bad reviewer, I just can’t bring myself to leave a bad review. Thanks to this idiotic Master, I bought it for a thousand, sold it for 1.1 million, netting a million in profit, which is dozens of tis more than what I make from a whole year of painstaking reviewing... It’s simply delightful... I hope more opportunities like this co my way.]
Ji You: "..."
Blacklist!
Definitely a blacklist!
Without another word, Ji You imdiately added this person to the store’s blacklist!
Trying to act tough as a professional bad reviewer, huh? Think I can’t handle you?
...
Ji You read through the rest of the comnts, one by one. These buyers were all exhilarated as if they had found a treasure. No more doubts, these 9 pendants were all undoubtedly Soul Devices.
By now—Ji You was feeling a bit dizzy... she couldn’t rember who she was anymore.
Herself—
Was she actually a Soul Artifact Master with such a high success rate?
Indeed—
She must be a woman of destiny.
Heaven’s own daughter.
No escape now.
Hahaha...
I’m going to be rich.
Worried about not making money? One of these days, if I’m in a good mood, I’ll just make a few Soul Devices to sell and instantly make a fortune!
So—
Does this an I don’t have to work anymore in my life?
The more Ji You thought about it, the more delighted she beca.
Just the thought of money becoming just a number to her, eating whatever she wants, buying whatever she wants, going wherever she wants...
"Hehe..."
After delighting herself for a good while, Ji You regained her composure. She cleared her throat and said to herself: "Now, I’m a Master. I’m sowhat of a big deal now, so I can’t just be giggling foolishly all the ti like a fool, it’s not becoming. I should pay so attention to my image and keep up appearances."
...
In her mailbox, there were tens of millions of unread ssages that Ji You simply couldn’t go through one by one. After so thought, she decided to find the sharp-eyed talent scout in the sea of billions, naly ’Ah Da Takes You Treasure Hunting,’ the Star Network strear.
After logging out of Star Network, Cheng Yu was feeling disheartened, unable to eat, when suddenly he heard his communication device ring. Looking up, it was a number he didn’t recognize. Due to his live stream going viral today, his popularity nearly sky-rocketed to the first place, and those advertisers, cunning as they are, couldn’t wait to get a hold of him to ride on the hype. Therefore, Cheng Yu had already dealt with several rounds of advertisers calling earlier.
"This must be an advertiser again."
"Not interested."
Thus, without even looking, Cheng Yu hung up the call, his movents decisive and his stance unwavering.
Ji You: "..."
Hang...
He hung up?
Ji You glanced at the sincere letter the other party had sent her: "Master, it would be the honor of my life if I could receive a personal reply from you. This is my contact number 122***** At any ti, whenever the Master needs , I, Ah Da, will be ready with a clean mat! I would not hesitate to go to any lengths!"
Ready with a clean mat?
Would not hesitate to go to any lengths?
That’s it???
Ji You’s face darkened slightly as she dialed again.
A few seconds later.
"Beep beep beep..."
Looking at the hung-up interface, Ji You: "..."
Was I just rejected?
Or—
Treated as a trashy scamr? A nuisance call?
Ah—what goes around cos around.
Ji You’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. She originally didn’t want to bother with this person nad Ah Da anymore, but after a second thought, to verify the information of the Soul Device she created, it seed that this person nad Ah Da was still the most suitable.
Otherwise—
She couldn’t possibly go to that Little Cutie who sent her private photos, right?
Or maybe, that pouting, glaring, chest-thrusting... adorably sweet and sassy girl?
If not—
"..." Unable to ponder further, Ji You shivered violently, then pursing her lips, she said:
"Dignity."
"Dignity."
"I am a Master now, I must maintain my dignity."
"If he can refuse
twice, can he still refuse
a third ti?"
Ji You refused to believe in this superstition. Once her stubbornness took over, she persevered and made a third call to ’Ah Da’s Taobao Shopping Assistant.’
The call connected.
Ji You waited with anticipation for the person to answer.
second.
seconds.
seconds.
At the other end of the call, upon hearing the ringtone and seeing it was this advertiser again, Cheng Yu muttered:
"Annoying."
With a decisive mutter, Cheng Yu hung up the call.
So—
"Beep beep beep..."
The cold automatic ssage conveyed the outco to Ji You.
Ji You: "..."
She recalled how this person sent her 99
emails, each one screaming desperately, all pleading with tears flooding through, claiming his one true wish in life was just for her to check the emails, looking forward in anticipation to her reply—
"Fake, right?"
"I thought he was my groveling admirer..."
"Actually... am I the one groveling for him?"
"..."
Three tis is the charm, and she has her pride. Ji You would not be able to make that call again. After a brief thought, she sent him a few ssages:
[Is this how you roll out the welco mat?]
[Is this your undying devotion?]
[Is this your lifelong wish?]
After sending three ssages in a row, Ji You didn’t expect an imdiate reply from the other party. She turned off the Star Network and got off.
She still had so troubling matters to deal with.
Returning to the real world, Ji You noticed the entire room, the white walls, and the white floor all stained with blood, a scene that was quite shocking. If it weren’t for the Iron Plate saving her, she surely would have been dood there.
Ji You rubbed her brows in fear.
At that mont—
It was too dangerous, and Ji You didn’t even have the ti to call for ergency services. You should know that technology in the interstellar era is very advanced, especially for ergency services; you don’t even need to dial manually, just connect with spiritual power to the Light Computer, call out to the Star Network system or to a dostic robot (of course, Ji You didn’t have one), and you can connect directly to the ergency center.
But she didn’t even have that bit of ti, one can imagine how perilous the situation was.
Where exactly did the chaos start?
Ji You squatted down, cleaned up the blood while flipping through the instruction manual. In the interstellar era, instruction manuals were not on paper but on an illumination screen, and it was loaded on the packaging box, which required the buyer to manually open. Ji You lacked this common knowledge; hence, she threw the box away after unpacking the parcel, thus missing the instructions. It was only when she found and read the manual that she realized she had made a huge blunder! This set of dicinal herbs, though only one portion, had to be used over five days.
Ji You, completely clueless, used up the amount ant for five days all at once. Moreover, several types of herbs needed to be added in batches, but initially thinking she only bought a portion enough for one use, she cooked all the herbs together.
Ji You: "Lack of common sense can kill a person, huh!"
All these were nourishing ingredients, and there were even many materials sourced from Star Beasts... those things could directly strengthen muscles and bones, enhance Physical Strength.
With Ji You’s re Level E Physical Strength, surviving such a huge dosage without bursting would be a miracle.
Ji You patted her chest, still in shock: "How stupid can I be?... I can’t be so reckless next ti."
