Four cards appeared before Su Tian: “The cash has been transferred to the host’s bank account through legitimate channels. Please check accordingly.”
“Over a thousand Affection Value still can’t be exchanged for Energy Points, but there are Achievements. The System rewarded quite a few things, so it’s all worth it.”
“How do I use these things?”
“Just press the cards against your body, Host.”
Su Tian picked up the Body Shaping Card and examined it. It looked like a typical promotional flyer handed out on the streets—completely black with an image of an extremely alluring body printed on it.
Su Tian pressed the two Body Shaping Cards against her body, and they vanished instantly.
“That’s it?”
“Yes, Host. Changes will follow shortly.”
Su Tian then picked up the Breast Enhancement Card. It was also a small black card, this time printed with a pair of voluptuous breasts.
Following the same method, she pressed it against her body. The card disappeared, and now she just had to wait for the effects.
“System, how many of these cards do I need to achieve the effect shown in the picture?”
“Host, you’ll need to use about 10 of the same type of card to achieve the effect displayed on the card.”
Su Tian repeated in disbelief, “Ten cards?”
“That’s right, Host. Ten cards.”
“How can I get more of these beauty-enhancing cards?”
“You can obtain them through draws or by unlocking Achievements. The prerequisite for draws is that the host must have 10,000 Affection Value.”
Compared to Su Tian’s current 1,000-plus Affection Value, 10,000 was nowhere in sight.
She glanced at today’s earnings from her audio livestream—she spent 1,000 and earned less than 10 in return. That was just brilliant.
If Su Tian weren’t doing this for more than just money, she would have lost big time.
Not only did her audio livestream have few viewers, but it was also hard to retain them. However, with limited favorable conditions at the moment, she had no choice but to continue as is.
Checking the time, she realized it was getting late. After a simple meal, she prepared for bed, deciding to assess the changes in her body tomorrow before making further plans.
While washing up, Su Tian looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was round and plump, her eyes almost disappearing into the flesh. She weighed at least 200 pounds. Because of her appearance, her name was often mocked.
“Such a big, ugly duckling, and she’s called Su Tian. Su Ugly would be more fitting.”
That was a taunt she frequently heard.
After her parents passed away, Su Tian indulged in overeating, and her weight ballooned from 100 to 160 pounds. She had tried to lose weight, but after starting work, the stress and frequent overtime shifts led to weight gain from overwork.
Losing weight wasn’t easy, and eventually, Su Tian stopped caring. After all, she didn’t have a boyfriend, and if she was the only one getting fat, so be it. But she never expected that being fat and unattractive would lead to such differential treatment.
“Sigh!”
Su Tian sighed, finished washing up, and went to bed without even scrolling through videos.
The next morning, the alarm woke her up, and Su Tian eagerly got out of bed to check for changes.
Looking in the mirror, she saw that she had slimmed down noticeably. “Not bad, not bad. Very nice.”
Next, she checked her chest—it was now large, round, and perky, so much so that she felt like grabbing it herself.
Action speaks louder than desire. The sensation was absolutely incredible.
After touching herself, she couldn’t help but feel a little perverted.
“Host, would you like to activate the data panel?”
“Activate it. With something this useful, mention it earlier next time.”
System: “…”

Su Tian looked at the data, noticing a “+” sign next to each entry: “System, what does this data mean?”
“Full score is 100, passing score is 60. Didn’t you know that from your exams before, Host?”
Su Tian: “…”
“Host, this is the data for your entire body. You can add points to whichever aspect you want to improve. If you have enough Energy Points, you could even upgrade everything at once.”
Su Tian stared at the data and impulsively asked: “System, why can’t I add points to age and Affection Value?”
“Affection Value needs to be earned by the Host. As for age, if the Host has that kind of preference, it’s not impossible.”
As soon as the System finished speaking, Su Tian saw a “+” sign appear next to “age” on the panel.
“Absolutely not necessary!”
Su Tian stared at the panel, deep in thought. Her figure was already passing, her chest was ample enough, and her legs were fine. Maybe she could post some transformation videos on Kuaiyin to earn Affection Value.
She had browsed Kuaiyin and noticed that this type of video was quite popular, appealing to both men and women.
Once her figure was sufficiently improved, she could start live-streaming with a mask or something to further earn Affection Value. By then, wouldn’t Affection Value and money both be within easy reach?
Su Tian’s thoughts were optimistic. After studying others’ transformation videos for a while, she realized she needed to buy quite a few things: first, clothes, then lighting, and finally filming equipment.
She was broke, so she could use her phone to film—even if the pixel quality was a bit lacking, she could upgrade later.
But she had to buy clothes and lighting equipment first. Su Tian picked up her phone, logged onto a certain shopping app, and went on a shopping spree. The ten thousand yuan she had barely warmed up was gone in no time.
Su Tian couldn’t help but sigh: money really doesn’t last long, does it?
She placed the orders in the morning, and by evening, Su Tian had already received the packages. After getting the deliveries, she eagerly unpacked the boxes and assembled the equipment.
She didn’t want to wait a moment longer. She wanted to earn money and Affection Value, and not even Jesus could stop her—she said so herself.
After all the tinkering, it was already past midnight.
Su Tian didn’t quite understand: “Just setting up a few pieces of lighting equipment took me until the middle of the night? How could these few things take six hours?”
Once she finished, Su Yun’s stomach betrayed her with hunger.
Once a person’s appetite grows, it’s impossible to shrink it back in a short time.
“Jesus couldn’t stop her, but she could stop herself. Eat first, deal with it tomorrow.”
Su Tian ordered takeout, then picked up her phone to browse videos, studying how to film transformation videos.
She watched videos while eating her takeout, and after finishing, she continued watching videos in bed until she fell asleep while scrolling.
The next day, Su Tian woke up early to try on and alter clothes. After all the tinkering, it was already noon.
Rubbing her growling stomach, Su Yun wondered: “It feels like no time has passed, so why am I always hungry?”
She ordered another takeout but regretted it immediately: “With habits like this, who else would get fat if not you?”
Su Tian was just teasing herself. Asking her to cancel the order was out of the question.
She couldn’t shortchange her mouth or stomach—she already had stomach issues, and skipping meals would only make her suffer more if her condition flared up.
After lunch, Su Tian prepared to film her video.
She set up the lighting, adjusted the filming angle, and got ready to start.
Su Tian wore a mask, turned on the beauty filter, thinned her body and face, and wearing casual clothes, she tried to mimic a few moves of the currently hottest dance.
After less than a minute of dancing, Su Tian stopped to check the recorded video. How should she describe it?
She danced like a zombie.
After filming back and forth for three or four hours like this, Su Tian collapsed exhausted on the floor. Looking back at the videos she had recorded earlier, she thought, “Great, it’s gradually starting to look decent—not perfect, but at least seventy percent there.”
With the dance sorted, Su Tian then changed into a sailor outfit and danced in front of her phone again.
After one attempt, she wasn’t satisfied, so she tried again, and then again, over and over.
Another three hours passed.
“Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to swallow.”
Su Tian simply gave up, lying back on her bed and staring at the white ceiling.
“Ding-dong.”
A WeChat voice message popped up. Su Tian glanced at it—it was from her landlady.
“Xiao Su, next month’s rent is due. The rent plus this month’s water, electricity, and internet fees come to 2,560. Let’s just round it down to 2,500. Let me know when you can transfer it to me.”
Su Tian picked up her phone and checked her balance: 9,600 yuan. Over 6,000 of that was the salary Zhou Bapi had transferred to her this morning.
After paying the rent to her landlady, her savings would be just over 6,000 yuan. She still needed to make money.
Su Tian gave herself a pep talk, got up, fixed her phone in place, and started filming again and again. After another hour or so of effort, she finally looked at the last video and nodded in satisfaction.
After some editing and applying beauty filters and slimming effects, Su Tian uploaded the video to her long-registered but never-used Kuaiyin account. Her profile picture was the back view of a girl, and from the silhouette, it was clear the girl had an excellent figure.
Su Tian believed she could become like that too, so she decided not to change the profile picture. Afterward, she spent 1,000 yuan to buy exposure.
Her savings of just over 6,000 yuan dropped to just over 5,000. There was no other way—without buying exposure, hoping to go viral was just wishful thinking. Even with exposure, there was no guarantee of success. Those who make it on their own are one in a million.
With Su Tian’s Qi Luck as black as ink, do you think it’s possible? Better to spend money on exposure. You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb.
After finishing all this, Su Tian collapsed with exhaustion but full of anticipation.
Even though she was exhausted, Su Tian still picked up her phone and ordered cheap but decent braised chicken with rice. It wasn’t because she loved it—it was simply because it was affordable.
After hours of exertion and not eating, her stomach was starting to ache faintly.
Having danced all afternoon, Su Tian had worked up quite a sweat. While waiting for her delivery, she went to take a shower.
