A Half-Baked Fortune Teller Gets Rich with Blind Boxes of Gossip

Coming soon: My Own Daughter in a Melodramatic Drama (Quick Transmigration); Farm Malice Points to Begin the Era of Cultivation Blind Boxes; The Ancient Noblewoman Conquers the Supernatural Regular night market visitors suddenly noticed a fortune-telling stall by the old city bridge. When they took a look, they found that the fortune-teller was a beautiful young woman of just eighteen. Thanks to her, the bustling night market became even livelier, and every day more people lined up to have their fortunes told by the young master. One criminal after another was hauled off, much to the delight of the local police. . Someone asked, "Is this melon ripe?" Fu Po smiled. "If it isn't ripe, you don't pay." From that day on, the atmosphere at the night market changed. When people passed each other, they no longer asked which stall had the tastiest food. Instead, they asked, "What's the latest news from the young master?" . "Did you hear? The young master got a woman who was pretending to be a man and running a scam arrested yesterday." "Really? What did the master say?" "The master said he had irregular periods." "..." . "Want to hear the latest fresh gossip?" "Yesterday, a student taking the college entrance exam was going to jump off a building! Apparently, she'd left a whole page of math questions blank." "What?" "Don't worry, she was rescued. The young master said she'd be the top scorer in the college entrance exam." . "The night market was so lively last night!" "I know, I know. I heard someone got food poisoning and had such bad stomach pains they couldn't speak, so they were taken away in an ambulance." "Heh, wrong! They were taken away, all right, but to the public restroom next door. The master said he'd had intestinal spasms from chronic constipation. If they hadn't rushed him in there, he would have sprayed all over the ambulance. Talk about dying of embarrassment." Even all the food vendors treated the young master like a treasure. Whoever could share the latest news about the young master was the one doing the best business. "Come on over! The young master has fresh gossip! Want a skewer of grilled gluten? Eat while you listen." . Fu Po hid behind the stall, counting her money and chuckling. "My fortune-telling skills may be mediocre, but I have a cheat! With the Gossip System on my side, whether you're a billionaire or a shameless deadbeat, nothing can escape me. Hehe!" . Blurb 2: After Fu Po was knocked on the head by something falling from a height and woke up, she discovered that she'd been bound to a gossip blind-box System. The first piece of gossip she got was about herself. . System: "Your new-user protection period comes with 20 points to spend on blind boxes. Once your points reach zero, you will be unbound instantly. Please spend within your means." Fu Po thought she was hallucinating from a concussion. Then she saw several glowing orbs of different colors appear before her eyes, one of them a glaring red. The sight made her nauseous. She raised a hand and accidentally opened the door to a new world. Here's a new idea I'm working on. Please add it to your reading list! Kisses! Coming soon 1: My Own Daughter in a Melodramatic Drama (Quick Transmigration) Every prime-time melodrama has a long-suffering heroine. She's overflowing with saintly compassion, generous with other people's resources, and determined to suffer even when she doesn't have to... After her family is ruined and viewers have shed enough tears, she gets a happy ending. Leng Qing transmigrates into these dramas as the heroine's own daughter. That's right, she's one of the "other people" whose resources get given away, the "suffering" in "suffering when she doesn't have to," and one of the family members in "her family is ruined." * Her mother is the heroine of a saintly, tragic melodrama, and she is the "suffering" her mother insists on taking for no reason. Their own family can barely feed itself, yet her mother adopts an abandoned baby boy. Afraid that people will gossip, she deliberately treats her biological daughter and adopted son differently. The biological daughter, who is treated unfairly: ...If you want to be a saint, do it yourself. Her mother is the heroine of a wicked stepmother drama, and she is a wealthy family's invisible girl, living like a servant. As her mother hugs her, crying uncontrollably and repeatedly telling her to "put up with it," the girl in her arms awakens. If this is what her mother calls a good life, she'd rather put an end to it starting today. Her mother is the heroine of a rural Mary Sue story, and she is the unlucky biological daughter who loses an arm and a leg in a romantic rivalry. She thought her mother had no choice and tore up her college acceptance letter to stay behind and protect her. In the end, her mother got a happy ending with her assorted love interests, while she was left to become the embarrassing, useless daughter her mother's many lovers looked down on. She wants no part in this kind of game. Goodbye! Her mother is the mother-in-law in a family drama, and she is the wicked little sister who makes life difficult for her sister-in-law. Her mother is the heroine of a melodrama about a terminal illness, and she is the daughter with a terminal illness who exists only as background scenery. More story ideas will be added whenever they occur to me. Coming soon 2: Farm Malice Points to Begin the Era of Cultivation Blind Boxes Ling Bo transmigrates from the age of declining cultivation and discovers that this is a wondrous era combining high technology and cultivation, with almost every industry connected to cultivation. Pharmacies sell miraculous pills that improve one's cultivation. Pet shops sell spirit beasts with spirit-beast bloodlines that can be contracted. Shops selling spirit treasures are stocked with all kinds of spirit weapons... Most importantly, every TV channel is promoting the upcoming exploration of a secret realm. A secret realm is a wondrous place, with spiritual energy more than ten times denser than the outside world, and spirit plants, spirit beasts, and spirit ore scattered everywhere. Ten thousand keys will fall from the sky, and the realm will open for a month. It is a lawless place where people can fight as they please, as well as a treasure trove for prospectors. A key can end up in anyone's hands. It could belong to a homeless person or to an obscure martial arts celebrity who got famous by picking a fight with a star. That's right, Ling Bo is that obscure celebrity. No one knows that the obscure celebrity, mocked by everyone for shamelessly riding a star's coattails, is actually the legitimate child, while the martial arts star who has enjoyed all the resources of the marriage is the illegitimate child bearing the original sin. While Ling Bo is still thrilled about this exciting new world, a cold, malicious voice sounds by her ear. [Congratulations, Host. You are now bound to the Malice Point Blind-Box System. Farm malice points to open blind boxes. Spirit plants, spirit pills, spirit weapons, and cultivation techniques are all available.] [Calculating current malice points... Uh? Congratulations, Host. You currently have 32,000 malice points.] System: ...The perfect Host, chosen by fate. Ling Bo is secretly delighted. So being an obscure celebrity has its perks. Hahaha! Let them mock me even harder! When she hears that the illegitimate child has also obtained a key, and learns that the secret-realm exploration will be broadcast live worldwide, Ling Bo gets even more excited. The illegitimate child is a martial arts star with tens of millions of fans. If every one of them gives her one malice point, she'll make a fortune. Hahaha! Let the illegitimate child see what she can do! Come on, haters, despise me! For a month, Ling Bo tries her hardest to farm malice points from the illegitimate child. But as the secret realm nears its end, something strange happens. Unable to hear what's being said outside, Ling Bo notices that the malice points, which initially shot up, are coming in more and more slowly. Then one day, she bullies the illegitimate child and steals her most valuable spirit ore. The illegitimate child squats on the ground, sobbing with gratitude that her big sister didn't take it all. But Ling Bo doesn't gain a single malice point. The obscure celebrity has become a star. How can this be? Ling Bo quickly activates her secret identity feature. Once she leaves the secret realm, she'll assume another identity and keep farming malice points. As long as you hate me, we're sisters born to different parents. From then on, the female lead's secret identities appear on live shows of all kinds: the National Youth Cultivation Competition, the Otherworldly Exploration Variety Show, the World Cultivation Competition... Her stories of being "utterly wicked" spread across the world. Until one day, a sweet voice kicks the Malice Point Blind-Box System away. [Hello, Host. I chased off that bad guy. I'm the Goodwill Point Blind-Box System. Please farm goodwill points to open blind boxes.] Female lead: ...Uh, is it possible that she's already committed too many sins? [Of course not. I checked your points for you, Host. You currently have one million goodwill points.] Female lead: ...Hasn't she been doing a great job maintaining her villainous image? How did things turn out like this? Note: Everyone the female lead farms malice points from deserves it. She frequently switches secret identities, and there are identity-reveal and comeback arcs. Coming soon 3: The Ancient Noblewoman Conquers the Supernatural Those who died unjustly, chosen from across the Myriad Worlds, gather in the City of Supernatural Tales. Only challengers who clear the final supernatural trial will have the chance to be reborn. The other challengers can't help wondering why one team seems so strange. Everyone else tries every trick in the book to clear the trials, but these women aren't in any hurry. They keep replaying the same stage over and over. [Nightmare Middle School] Rule: All teachers and students must strictly maintain their roles. No one may behave out of character. Other challengers tremble when the chemistry teacher questions them, terrified that one wrong answer will cost them their heads. Only Lu Yan keeps raising her hand. "Excuse me! What is the periodic table of elements? Could you explain it from the beginning?" The chemistry teacher, who blew half its head apart during an experiment, leans toward Lu Yan, its skull split open. It plans to eat her, blaming her for disrupting class as soon as she screams. After waiting several minutes, the student in front of it is still gazing at it with wide, curious eyes. Lu Yan: "Could you explain it one more time, teacher?" The teacher can't act out of character, so it has no choice but to start from the beginning. Half an hour later, Lu Yan is still looking at it with the same eager expression. "Could you explain it one more time?" An hour later, Lu Yan lowers her head in shame. "I'm sorry, teacher. I'm really too stupid." Chemistry teacher: "You may go. I'm afraid I can't help you." The trial resets and begins again, with a new batch of students. The chemistry teacher is about to start terrifying them when it sees a familiar face gazing at it with curiosity. Lu Yan: "Teacher, I'm back again. I still don't quite understand that question from last time. Could you explain it one more time?" Teacher: I don't want to see such a dull student ever again. Please blow up the trial and let me die. Nobody stop me! Lu Yan was once nothing more than an ordinary ancient noblewoman. After her fiance used her as a human shield to protect his white moonlight, she thought she was going to die. She never expected to find a much wider world waiting for her. After experiencing supernatural trials set in ancient times, the Republican era, modern times, the future, and many other settings, Lu Yan was reborn in the truest sense. Suddenly, she realizes there's not much point in going back. She'd rather stay here, face new challenges every day, and learn new things. Besides, she now has companions to fight alongside her and a devoted lover. She can't bear to leave them. Theme: Never despair over your fate, no matter what.
