[Congratulations, host, on unlocking the beginner’s surprise gift pack and receiving the following rewards:]
[1. Asset Reward: A luxury penthouse in Shanghai (380㎡, unobstructed river view, property automatically registered in your name, complete with high-end decoration, furniture, and appliances, market value estimated at 100 million RMB);]
[2. Skill Book: Photographic Memory (permanent effect, allows instant memorization and accurate recitation of all seen text and image information);]
[3. Item: Panacea x3 (can cure 99% of toxins in the world, immediate effect, no side effects);]
[4. Privilege: Supreme Membership at a top private hospital in Shanghai (lifetime validity, priority access to top global experts, exclusive treatment channels and private wards, covering all resources for treating difficult and complex diseases).]
A series of reward notifications sounded, and a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Wenxi’s eyes. A spacious apartment, a photographic memory to aid intelligence analysis, a universal antidote for safety, and a VIP membership to a private hospital—a rare resource. Shanghai’s elite value health and privacy above all else; this privilege allows her to gain the upper hand in crucial moments and even become leverage to build connections.
“This beginner’s package is pretty good,” she thought with a satisfied smile, then looked at the “Beginner’s Lottery Chance” icon. “Start the lottery.”
A circular wheel immediately appeared on the virtual screen, displaying various prizes: points, cash, skill books, special items, asset rights, etc. The pointer spun rapidly.
[First lottery start!]
The pointer slowly stopped, landing on the “Thank you for your patronage” area.
[Second lottery start!]
The wheel spun again, this time stopping on “Special Items.”
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the item: Information Exploration Card x2 (After use, you can explore the core privacy information of any person, including hidden assets, connections, unpublished resumes, etc., with no exploration restrictions. Results are provided immediately after use).] Jiang
Wenxi’s eyes lit up. The Information Detection Card was practically tailor-made for the intrigue and power struggles of Shanghai’s elite circles! It was even more strategically valuable than an invisibility talisman.
[The third draw begins!]
The pointer continued spinning, finally landing on the “Skill Book” area.
[Congratulations, host, for obtaining the skill book: Top-Tier Martial Arts (Active skill; after learning, you can instantly master top-tier global martial arts techniques, including a complete set of moves for self-defense and attack; no learning threshold).]
“Not bad, not bad.” Her smile deepened. With this skill, even without bodyguards, she could protect herself.
[The fourth draw begins!]
The wheel spun rapidly, this time the pointer stopping on the “Asset Rights” area.
[Congratulations, host, for obtaining the asset rights: Lifetime Black Card for High-End Private Clubs in Shanghai (Free access to 10 top-tier private clubs in Shanghai, enjoying exclusive private rooms, priority booking rights, and a 20% discount on all purchases within the clubs; these clubs are hubs for global celebrities and business tycoons, serving as top-tier networking centers).] Jiang
Wenxi was overjoyed. The private club black card was a shortcut to infiltrating the core network of Shanghai’s elite! These top clubs never publicly recruited members; memberships could only be obtained through referrals or special channels. This black card would allow her direct access to the top figures in the circle, saving her countless steps.
[Fifth lottery draw begins!]
The pointer slowly stopped at the “Thank you for your patronage” area in the final draw.
Five draws had yielded a rich reward: 2 information gathering cards, 1 top-tier martial arts skill book, and 1 lifetime private club black card. Combined with the items from the beginner’s gift pack, in just a few minutes, she had acquired three core resources: intelligence gathering, networking, and health protection, unlocking practical self-defense skills.
She immediately chose to learn “Photographic Memory” and “Top-Tier Martial Arts.” A flood of information instantly poured into her mind; martial arts techniques seemed ingrained in her bones, and every movement exuded a sharp aura. The information and documents she had previously reviewed were also clearly presented in her mind, vividly remembered.
[Skill successfully learned, permanently effective.] Jiang
Wenxi stood up, stretched her limbs, felt the power surging within her, and a confident smile curved her lips. With the system’s support and these resources precisely tailored to the dynamics of social circles, she was confident she could quickly establish herself in Shanghai’s elite circles, and even stir up some trouble. She
decided to put her things in her backpack for now. Then she turned on the projector; it was time for relaxation.
Sipping her herbal tea, eating snacks, and watching the projector, life couldn’t be better.
The next few days slipped by like sand through her fingers, without any major upheavals. Jiang Wenxi mostly stayed in her villa on the hillside, either browsing the system’s online store on the chaise lounge by the French windows or playing with the newly arrived Ragdoll cat in the yard, living a comfortable and relaxed life. Before she knew it,
it was time to register for school.
The villa’s nanny team was busy the night before, the lights in the dressing room staying on until late into the night. Several experienced nannies deftly packed Jiang Wenxi’s clothes into custom-made suitcases, from high-end school uniforms to everyday clothes, and even skincare and makeup products, all arranged according to season and occasion.
The next morning, Butler Jiang Bo stood respectfully in the center of the living room, holding a printed schedule: “Miss, your school is a 40-minute drive from the large apartment in Lanyan Community, taking the ring expressway without traffic; if you’re coming from our villa, it takes three hours via the city’s main roads. Are you planning to stay in the school dormitory for a long time this semester, or…?”
Jiang Wenxi, leisurely picking up a piece of truffle cake with a silver fork, raised her eyes upon hearing this, her voice clear and crisp: “Have that apartment in Lanyan Community thoroughly cleaned; I’ll be staying there.”
“Yes, Miss,” Butler Jiang immediately nodded in agreement and turned to arrange for the cleaning.
The nanny team instantly split into two groups: one group, carrying cleaning tools and pre-packed daily necessities, drove straight to Lanyan Residential Area to thoroughly disinfect and dust the entire house, change the bedding to new silk sets, and fill the kitchen refrigerator with fresh ingredients; the other group, carrying several lightweight carry-on suitcases, prepared to accompany Jiang Wenxi to school to help her with registration procedures and tidy up her dormitory bed.
Registration would last three days, and Jiang Wenxi hadn’t planned to arrive early. She leisurely finished breakfast before casually picking up her bag and heading out.
At 10:00 AM sharp, the convoy slowly arrived at the school gate. The area was already bustling with traffic, with various vehicles lined up along the street, ranging from luxury cars displaying status to economical family sedans. Students and parents came and went in an endless stream, the air filled with the lively atmosphere of new student registration. Outside the campus wall, a bright red banner was held high, with the five large characters “Welcome New Students” standing out prominently. As it fluttered in the wind, it was full of the warmth of welcoming new students.
