Chapter 295: Urban Card Drawing System (1)

"Yang Yang, Baileda on Wanfu Street opens at ten o'clock today. I heard from my cousin that the Gucci counter at Baileda will be stocking a globally limited edition bamboo handle tote bag. You've been really into bamboo handle bags lately, haven't you? Let me go with you to take a look!"

Feng Xuanxuan couldn't wait to share this good news the moment she stepped through the door, desperately masking the jealousy in her eyes as she excitedly urged Xie Yang to go upstairs and change:

"Hurry up! That's a globally limited edition, there must be so many people who want it! If we go late, we won't have a chance!"

Xie Yang rubbed her aching temples and said nothing.

"Yang Yang—"

Seeing that she wasn't as enthusiastic as usual, Feng Xuanxuan couldn't help but urge her:

"Hurry up! If you keep dawdling, the bag you like is going to be bought by someone else!"

"Oh." Xie Yang responded lazily, turning to walk upstairs, "You wait."

Walking into the second-floor bedroom, she locked the door, lay down on the princess-style pink bed, and closed her eyes to receive the Task for this plane.

This time, she was inhabiting the body of a wealthy heiress whose birth mother had died early. Worried that a stepmother might bully his daughter, Xie's father simply never remarried, raising her both as a father and a mother, which resulted in the original owner being somewhat spoiled and naive.

Because of her spoiled and arrogant personality, she had no close friends growing up, except for Feng Xuanxuan.

Feng Xuanxuan was born into a harmonious, large family, where everyone from the Laoguogong down to her cousins doted on her; she could be called the darling of the Feng family.

That such a well-loved darling was willing to be her long-term friend moved the original owner deeply.

When she was a child, she had found a Meteorite Fragment. Seeing how she couldn't put it down, Xie's father hired a jewelry designer to carve it into a pendant, which she had worn for many years.

Seeing that her best friend also liked this pendant and would stare at it longingly every time she came over to play, the original owner, in a moment of joy today after buying her favorite globally limited edition bag, gave this pendant to Feng Xuanxuan.

By the time she regretted it and wanted it back, Feng Xuanxuan had already activated the Meteorite Fragment.

It turned out this was no ordinary Meteorite Fragment, but a high-level Chip from a higher plane that had absorbed a Card Drawing System.

Using the novice points rewarded by the System, Feng Xuanxuan drew a rare card with a one-year validity period—"Bad Luck Strikes."

Out of deep-seated jealousy toward Xie Yang, and worried that Xie Yang would insist she return the Meteorite Fragment, she used this bad luck card on Xie Yang without a moment's hesitation.

This led to the original owner having constant bad luck for the next year, as if possessed by a god of misfortune:

She went to see her idol's concert and was injured in the arm by a falling advertising sign, wearing a bandage for three months, and even implicated several innocent fans; she interned at her own company and always encountered various issues, causing the company to lose several large export orders; seeing Feng Xuanxuan make several times her money by trading stocks with her allowance and receiving praise from the entire Feng family, she also wanted to make Xie's father happy, so she took her own dividends to trade stocks, only for them to evaporate overnight; hearing her circle of girlfriends rave about a certain financial product, she invested all the money left in her card, earned nothing, and the financial app was exposed as a P2P scam, losing everything.

In addition, the properties and shops under her name also had issues one after another; some were exposed as haunted houses, causing tenants to move out; others caught fire for no reason, and the fire was so large it couldn't be extinguished for a time, even costing the life of a firefighter.

A series of accidents left the original owner depressed, so she went to a casino with her best friend to relax, only to end up 80 million in debt overnight and was forced to take a set of indecent photos before being allowed to go home.

Xie's father was exhausted from dealing with his daughter's string of ruinous actions and had been cleaning up the mess.

When the gambling debt was exposed, the cash Xie's father had on hand had already been used to compensate the innocent victims implicated in those unlucky incidents. In order to pay off the gambling debt for his daughter as quickly as possible and get back the indecent photo negatives she had left as collateral, he had no choice but to borrow a sum of working capital from the company.

Although other shareholders were dissatisfied, they didn't intend to speak out in order to protect the company's interests and maintain a unified front.

But unexpectedly, this matter, along with the news of the fire at the shops under the original owner's name and the sacrifice of a firefighter, was bought as a trending topic by Feng Xuanxuan and leaked online, drawing criticism from the vast majority of netizens.

The public opinion crisis directly caused the stock of Xie Group to hit the limit down repeatedly, partners withdrew their capital one after another, and the company's capital chain was completely broken.

Xie's father ran around trying to save the company, but due to not sleeping for several nights and being in a trance, he crashed into a highway guardrail and died on the spot.

Unable to bear this blow, the original owner jumped from the roof of the bankrupt Xie Group building.

With Xie Group bankrupt, the beneficiaries—competitors like a pack of wolves—quickly carved up the business market that Xie Group had spent over twenty years developing, with the Feng family having the best luck, snatching away the most profitable overseas market.

However, no one knew that the Feng family's good luck was no coincidence, but because Feng Xuanxuan had checked in for 300 consecutive days and received an epic card gifted by the System—God of Fortune Possession, where anyone who was good to her would have good luck. From then on, she prospered her family and husband, enjoying endless glory and wealth...

Xie Yang, having finished receiving the original world's plot: "..."

What did the original owner do wrong? Just because she was a poor judge of character and mistook a plastic friend for a real one, she gave a pendant to a fake sister and brought upon herself such great misfortune?

By the way, are the high-level civilizations that create these kinds of Sub-systems not doing it on purpose to stir up trouble?

The Main System hurriedly stood up to clarify for the Main Star:

【Uh, Host, this is what happened in the original world. After receiving relevant complaints, this plane has been restarted. Once the Host retrieves the bugged Sub-system and finishes the plot of this life for the original owner, the Task will be completed.】

Xie Yang raised an eyebrow and looked down at the ink-purple pendant on her chest that was clinging to the Card Drawing System.

If she had transmigrated two hours later, wouldn't this Golden Finger have been personally delivered by her to Feng Xuanxuan, starting a year-long path of bad luck?

Since she had to finish the plot of this life for the original owner, there was no rush to send the Sub-system back to the factory for repairs.

Come on! Let her see what the Card Drawing System is actually like.

So, she found an eyebrow razor and learned the activation method Feng Xuanxuan used in the original world after obtaining it—pricking her index finger and squeezing a drop of blood onto the surface of the pendant.

Once the blood was completely absorbed, a highly technological platform suddenly appeared before Xie Yang's eyes.

The background was a vast and boundless sea of stars, with countless stars dotted in between, making one wonder if these stars were real planets or just dynamic images?

Above the platform, twelve metallic-textured cards floated, emitting a mysterious, deep blue halo.

【Congratulations to the Host for successful activation, rewarded with 100 novice points, which can be used to draw one rare card or two common cards.】

【Daily check-in grants 5 points. 30 consecutive check-ins reward one draw opportunity from the common card pool; 100 consecutive check-ins reward one draw opportunity from the rare card pool; 300 consecutive check-ins reward one draw opportunity from the epic card pool; 1000 consecutive check-ins reward one draw opportunity from the legendary card pool.】

【Wishing the Host good luck!】

A string of electronic sounds rang out abruptly in her consciousness, but no avatar of the Sub-system appeared.

Xie Yang raised an eyebrow, feeling that something was strange.

The Main System scanned and said: 【The Sub-system's Chip part is missing, so it seems a bit mechanical, please don't mind, Host.】

"..."

So not only was it bugged, it was also a defective product.

The Main System continued: 【Host, the System needs to report this situation to the Master Brain. During the channel switch, it may not be able to respond to the Host in time, I hope the Host will forgive me.】

Xie Yang waved her hand, indicating she didn't mind.

She went over the novice rules of the Card Drawing System again—

Checking in every day earns 5 points, and once enough points are saved, one can draw cards: common cards are 50 points each, rare cards are 100 points each, epic cards are 1000 points each, and legendary cards are 5000 points each.

Even the most common card requires ten days of check-ins to save enough points for one draw; it seems a bit expensive!

She thought she could draw for fun every day.
