[Strong Female Lead! No Fixed Couple!]
Xu Zhao was two minutes late and slipped into the classroom through the back door.
System alert: [Successfully infiltrated the enemy sect's stronghold. Reward: one movement technique.]
Xu Zhao glanced at her homeroom teacher at the podium, then at the reward that had just come through.
Fine, if you say so.
From then on, Xu Zhao discovered that high school could be quite profitable.
She could practice cultivation in class, find bargains while out and about, and even take down an "evil cultivator hideout" on a trip to the secondhand market.
The System made things up; she collected the money.
Until one day, the System really did send her to another world.
Overgrown plants swallowed cities, and survivors traded metal for the supplies she brought. Senior cultivators were trapped in forbidden lands, and the skills they taught her were all incredibly useful. When a technological civilization couldn't find a way to obtain energy, she rummaged through her warehouse and managed to put together a solution.
Xu Zhao traveled farther and farther, and her hoard grew bigger and bigger. Places she'd once had to avoid, she could now enter in a mechanized suit, only to come back and complain that her warehouse wasn't big enough.
Gradually, her name became known across world after world.
As for Xu Zhao herself...
"Xu Zhao, what are you hiding under your desk?"
"Nothing, Teacher."
A magical artifact she'd just gotten her hands on.
She hadn't figured it out yet, so she couldn't hand it over.
As for the romance, even though it takes up very little of the story...
I told you to have no man in your heart, not to have no men around you.
The first page of the sword manual says to slay your beloved. The final chapter says to lie drunk in a beauty's arms.
