On the day the full-dive online game The Sacred Realm went on sale, Jiang Shu's brother, who had been missing for five years, suddenly came back from the dead and mailed her a game helmet.
In black ink on white paper, the shipping box practically screamed:
Little sis, you can exchange this game's virtual currency for real money!!!
Jiang Shu had planned to crumple up the helmet and throw it, along with her brother, into the sewer. "..."
She was too broke.
As of yesterday afternoon, she'd even finished her last bottle of nutrition fluid, which tasted like toilet cleaner.
Starving and close to death, Jiang Shu decided to give it a try.
She logged into The Sacred Realm, but her internet was so slow that she could only watch as the queue got longer and longer, and her place kept slipping from the top thousand.
In the end, she proudly claimed the title of player number 1,314,250 :)
[Ding~ Congratulations, Player 1,314,250! You've been selected as the seventh player on the server to receive a special race.
Dear Player 1,314,250, please choose one of the following three races~]
Jiang Shu immediately decided to overlook the insult.
She looked up, her gaze settling on the final option.
[Race: Cursed Frost Witch
Attack: 75 (boosted by 25%)
Defense: 10 (boosted by 100%)
Agility: 50 (boosted by 25%)
Traits: Unusual hair and eye color, cunning and cold-blooded, money-making machine, skilled in frost magic
Recommendation: ★★]
Money! Making! Machine!
Her eyes instantly turned green (from hunger).
[Helpful tip: Frost Witches have extremely low health and a death rate of up to 95%. Not recommended for players who want a high degree of freedom in their gameplay...]
Jiang Shu: Can't hear you, can't hear you.
You're the one!

So a few months later, a fragile, white-haired, red-eyed witch suddenly appeared in the game.
She used the cheapest bottles and sold her potions for the highest prices.
At first, the players said: Who's this? Has she gone crazy over money?
That is, until one rich player bought two dozen on a whim. That night, while his party was tackling a dungeon, they were one sliver of health away from clearing it for the first time when the boss suddenly entered its second frenzied state. Their supplies were exhausted, and everyone was in despair. Then he remembered the two dozen red and blue potions and, figuring they had nothing to lose, tossed them to his teammates.
Red potions: 200% boost!
Blue potions: 150% boost!
The whole party returned to full health and cleared the dungeon for the first time!
The power of Witch Jiang's potions spread across the entire server, and every last potion was snapped up.
So what if a dozen red or blue potions cost 30 silver coins?
I'll buy them!
So what if a healing potion costs 10 silver coins a bottle?
I'll buy it!
#By the way, boss, I've bought so much. Can I get a loyalty discount next time?
Later on, the top spot on the wealth leaderboard changed hands.
The huge characters [Witch Jiang] dazzled everyone's eyes.
Jiang Shu: Thanks for asking. I can finally buy a new flavor of nutrition fluid.
Reading notes:
1. A laid-back game story. The heroine earns money through a full-dive online game to attend university and make her fortune.
2. The male lead is the player with ID 1314520 ovo
3. I'm terrible at writing blurbs and really did my best QAQ. Come on in and take a look before you decide~
