(On hiatus for now, but not abandoned)
Jiang Ying, a notorious outlaw in the wasteland, was sent to the interstellar world by a bunch of lunatics.
For her new life, Jiang Ying just wants to find a retirement home nestled among mountains and beside a river, and live the happy life of a lazy fish.
The problem is, she has no money.
Even a penny can stump a hero. Jiang Ying was wondering whether to return to her old line of work and pay a visit to a bank when she came across an unanswered post on a forum:
[Going on a business trip. Can anyone help me hold the fort? Starting at 150,000! Please!]
Jiang Ying: I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!
Power-leveling: Mouse and keyboard x
Power-leveling: Get in there and fight for real √
With the perspective of two lifetimes, Jiang Ying opened a studio. As long as the money was right, anything was possible.
So she got woken up in the middle of the night by a black-market big shot, who called her over and over to help him steal his rival's crops and carry out his sinister plan.
A superstar who killed anything he tried to raise offered her a fortune to start a fish farm, then tagged along behind her, eating and drinking for free.
During the holidays, she even had to help a church saint's son fight for territory. He chanted prayers while she charged into battle.
In the end, she was crouched in a trench with a retired pope, working out the demolition plan...
One day, Jiang Ying got slapped with an astronomical medical bill to treat her brain. In a fit of excitement, she accidentally took a job meant for a fellow power-leveler:
[Location: Changming Military Academy. Mission: Pass the individual combat fitness test.]
Jiang Ying: I may be operating without a license, be undocumented, and have unpaid fees, but I'm a law-abiding citizen. I've always loved peace.
Live broadcast from the military district's frontier reclamation operation:
A pitch-black mecha fighting valiantly in a sea of blood stood out. On its hull was a dazzling 3D ad in 36 colors, surrounded by shimmering lights:
[Need a power-leveler? Call me and free up your hands! Ying Family goods are always top quality!]
[What the heck, am I seeing my power-leveler out there?]
[You can put ads on the battlefield?!]
After the battle, Jiang Ying wiped her face, grinned to show a row of white teeth, and pointed at the ad printed on her own combat uniform.
"Welcome! New customers get a discount, and group orders are cheaper."
Reporter: Why did you choose this line of work?
Jiang Ying gazed up at the sky. "It only takes a few seconds to grab a job online and take it offline."
