Gu Wanshi enjoyed this meal a great deal.
She had to admit, even though the restaurant’s prices were steep, the presentation and taste of the food were beyond reproach.
Just as she finished eating, the system’s voice rang out again.
“Ding! The next main quest is about to be issued. Please complete your two lottery draws before then.”
“Right, I still have two lottery draws left. Let’s do them now.”
“Lottery activated. Congratulations, host, you have gained twenty points to looks and ten points to physical strength.”
With that, Gu Wanshi’s looks rose to forty points, and her physical strength to twenty.
Gu Wanshi immediately took out her phone and opened the front camera to check herself out.
Sure enough, her face was far more attractive than what she’d seen before! It even faintly resembled her appearance from before she’d transmigrated.
“Once my looks score gets high enough, will it become the same as my face in my past life?” Gu Wanshi asked.
“Yes, host. It may even end up more beautiful than your past-life appearance. And your changing appearance won’t raise anyone’s suspicions, old photos, videos, and so on will change to match accordingly.”
Gu Wanshi hadn’t cared that much about her looks before, since in her past life she’d heard more than enough praise for her appearance already.
But now, she suddenly found herself looking forward to it.
Because in her past life, she’d already been hailed as having a face like a goddess.
If she ended up even more beautiful than that, just how stunning would she be?
“Ding! Current main quest activated: spend one million within one hour. Task reward: aside from the rebate, you will receive three lottery draws.”
“O-one million within one hour? Are you serious? It’s already past ten at night!”
“The timer has started. Please hurry and complete the task, host. If the task is not completed, you will be transported to a doomsday dimension,” the system said without a shred of mercy. “The one million reward from the previous task now belongs to you as personal assets. The one million needed for the task has been issued to your bank card.”
In other words, Gu Wanshi’s bank card now held two million.
Gu Wanshi immediately stood up, found the manager from before, and asked, “Can you open a membership card here? How much does it cost?”
“Yes, we have Gold Membership, Diamond Membership, and…”
“What’s the most expensive one?” Gu Wanshi asked without waiting.
“The most expensive is the Luxury Supreme Membership, five hundred thousand a month. Once you join, you can enjoy the corresponding benefits…”
Before she could finish, Gu Wanshi took out her bank card and said, “I’ll pay right now, two months of membership!”
The manager was overjoyed. She led Gu Wanshi straight to the front counter, took out the card reader, registered Gu Wanshi’s information, charged one million, then took out a membership card and respectfully handed it to Gu Wanshi.
Hearing the task-complete notification, Gu Wanshi let out a breath of relief.
Fortunately she’d had the presence of mind to think of it, restaurants like this usually had a membership system.
Meanwhile, the server who had looked down on her earlier was even more despairing.
He’d offended a Luxury Supreme Member, he was done for, surely fired now, and might even end up blacklisted across the industry!
There was no way he’d ever get a job at a high-end restaurant like this again.
“Miss Gu, the restaurant has a benefit, if you spend over one million in a single visit, you can enjoy a night in the presidential suite at the Zuihai Yuntian Hotel. Would you like that?” the manager asked with a beaming smile.
“Sure,” Gu Wanshi nodded.
It so happened she didn’t want to go back to that awful place, the Gu family mansion.
The task just now had also earned her a tenfold rebate, and she now had eleven million in personal assets.
Even if the system never issued her another task, she could already buy herself a place of her own.
Tomorrow, she’d go do just that!
The manager immediately took her to the Zuihai Yuntian Hotel next door, explained the situation to the front desk, and got her a key card to the presidential suite.
Gu Wanshi had been used to staying in presidential suites in her past life, so it wasn’t much of a surprise. She soaked comfortably in the bathtub, listening to music.
“System, I still have three lottery draws left, right? Let’s use them.”
“Yes, host. Lottery activated. Congratulations, host, you have gained twenty points to looks, ten points to temperament, and ten points to physical strength.”
With that, Gu Wanshi’s looks had already reached sixty points.
After her bath, Gu Wanshi stood in front of the mirror and looked. Sure enough, she was now the kind of pretty girl who stood out in a crowd.
It really was only a matter of time before she became a rich, beautiful woman!
The next morning, Gu Wanshi called the front desk to order breakfast.
While she was eating, she came across a gossip news story, and the subjects of the story turned out to be none other than her and Gu Wanning.
“Shocking! The Gu Family’s Real and Fake Daughters Clash at a Luxury Restaurant, Fake Daughter Suffers Humiliating Defeat, Flees in Shame!”
Gu Wanshi was drinking her coffee when she saw the headline and nearly spat it out.
Whichever genius wrote this, they were too good at their job!
She clicked into it and saw that the story was about her putting Gu Wanning in her place at the restaurant the night before.
The explanation was quite detailed, it said that the Gu family’s real daughter had been eating at the restaurant yesterday, and the fake daughter had come over to mock her, both openly and subtly, saying she couldn’t afford it, and offered to pay for her, only to be unable to produce even a hundred thousand herself. Meanwhile the real daughter had paid without the slightest hesitation the moment she said she would, and the fake daughter could only slink away in disgrace.
There was even a video attached.
Judging by the angle, it had probably been filmed by someone who’d been sitting in the corner at the time.
In the video, Gu Wanshi’s composed and dignified manner formed a sharp contrast with Gu Wanning’s embarrassment and humiliation.
Down in the comments section, netizens were also buzzing with discussion.
“Didn’t they say the Gu family’s real daughter wasn’t valued much? She pulled out a hundred thousand without batting an eye, does that look unvalued to you?”
“To the person above, you clearly don’t understand rich people. A hundred thousand is nothing to someone with real money.”
“Well if that’s the case, then the fake daughter couldn’t even produce a hundred thousand, doesn’t that mean…?”
“That’s exactly why she’s the fake daughter! She’s built herself up online like she’s somebody, but really, she’s just a fraud. Now that the real daughter’s back, her true colors are showing!”
“Look at the way she acted in that video, so much like a scheming little tramp…”
“Based on one video, you’re calling her a scheming tramp? Aren’t you all just paid trolls hired by the real daughter?”
“To the person above, you sound more like a paid troll hired by the fake daughter!”
“By the way, didn’t there used to be press releases online saying the Gu family’s fake daughter was way prettier than the real one? But looking at this, the real daughter is pretty good-looking too!”
“Eh, average. Her presence isn’t much.”
Seeing someone say her presence wasn’t much, Gu Wanshi didn’t take it to heart either.
Had there been anything she hadn’t heard, as a major star in her past life?
Gu Wanning, on the other hand… was probably furious enough right now to be smashing things.
Gu Wanshi went on calmly enjoying her breakfast.
Just as she’d expected, back at the Gu family mansion, Gu Wanning had smashed every vase in her room out of rage.
“Who filmed this, and even dared post it online! Saying I’m not as good as Gu Wanshi, that’s absolute nonsense!”
Just then, a young, handsome man walked in.
“My dear sister, don’t be angry. I’ve already had people get the news story taken down.”
