Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Zhou Jieyu leaned against the wall, greedily breathing in the fresh air. She felt like she was about to suffocate, but thankfully she had managed to escape.

Why are all the NPCs in this game so annoying?

She was almost in despair.

Zhou Jieyu, looking utterly miserable, called out to the group leading the charge.

"Brother, how are you doing over there?"

"Huh? What's wrong? You finally took the initiative to contact me." The leader of the charge asked in confusion.

Zhou Jieyu stomped her foot in anger: "Be serious, I'm asking you a question."

"It's alright. I just switched to a bartender as a secondary profession, and I'm still a bit short of leveling up, but that's okay. I'll save up some more money in a couple more days and then come find you in Twin Moon City," said the leader of the charge.

“Emmm…” Zhou Jieyu hesitated for a moment, but this time she didn’t refuse. She found that she wasn’t so comfortable on her own.

After ending the call, Zhou Jieyu stood up and realized that the handbag containing the CDs was still on her.

She opened her backpack and counted; there were 20 discs in total. If she sold them at 5 pesos each, wouldn't that be 100 pesos?

It's all just small change.

Zhou Jieyu, who had been feeling a little down, immediately cheered up.

But before selling these items, they have to remove the handcuffs from their wrists.

Zhou Jieyu quickly set her sights on An Ran.

"The fee is 1 rupee," An Ran replied indifferently.

"..."

Zhou Jieyu was furious. This NPC was so greedy and ruthless!

"Give!"

Zhou Jieyu handed over a coin, and An Ran nodded in satisfaction upon receiving the money. Then, she helped Zhou Jieyu cut the handcuffs open.

Zhou Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief upon regaining her freedom. She wouldn't have dared to walk on the street if she hadn't gotten rid of that thing.

Now Zhou Jieyu can go back to selling DVDs, and she doesn't even have to give the boss a share of the profits.

After a whole day of hard work, Zhou Jieyu, acting as a supplier, successfully sold 20 discs to an unknown NPC in the old city.

Revenue was 60 units, material cost was 0.

I finally have the money to change jobs.

Chapter 14 Is this some kind of electric toy?

"I want to change jobs!" Zhou Jieyu walked up to An Ran and said confidently.

Ok?

An Ran raised her head. Her behavior of "leading the escape" was completely different from her timid and hesitant manner the day before yesterday. Could it be that she had struck it rich?

She replied in a rather formulaic way: "Hello, what career do you want to switch to?"

A job change panel popped up in front of Zhou Jieyu's eyes. Her favorability was 0, and the only job she could unlock was the cake maker.

Choose a pastry chef.

"Do you wish to unlock the profession of [Pastry Maker]?"

"Yes!"

"Unlocking the [Pastry Maker] profession requires 30 pelu. Do you wish to pay?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Jieyu handed 30 Bilu to An Ran.

The moment An Ran accepted the money, the game determined that the transaction was complete.

Zhou Jieyu felt a flash of light, and then she became stronger.

She closed her eyes and carefully examined it, but it seemed that nothing was different.

Pshaw, adding a few attributes didn't make much of a difference.

Fortunately, I still have 3 free attribute points, and I'm almost full of experience points for leveling up.

In [Night of the Stars], you cannot level up even if you have accumulated a lot of free experience if you haven't unlocked a profession.

This setting isn't meant to make things difficult for players, because in the game, unless there are specific requirements, unlocking a new class isn't that hard.

That's right.

While Zhou Jieyu was still thinking, An Ran's voice rang in her ears again.

As soon as Zhou Jieyu looked up, she saw An Ran take out a piece of paper and a pen.

An Ran smiled and said to Zhou Jieyu, "Although you have officially become a [Pastry Chef], you don't have a recipe yet. I have a set meal here, would you like to take a look?"

This is where the store feature comes in handy.

Recipes and blueprints are things that can be traded.

Zhou Jieyu took a closer look.

[Mung Bean Cake Recipe] Price: 15 pesos; [Osmanthus Cake Recipe] Price: 17 pesos; [Fruit Osmanthus Cake] Price: 25 pesos.

This is the unit price; there are also package deals below.

Set Meal 1: [Mung Bean Cake] + [Osmanthus Cake] priced at 25 pesos.

Set menu 2: [Osmanthus Cake] + [Fruit Osmanthus Cake] priced at 35 pesos.

Package Three: [I Want It All] Price: 45 Piru

"..."

Zhou Jieyu rubbed her eyes. She wasn't seeing things.

She looked at An Ran speechlessly, "You're from e-commerce, right?"

An Ran smiled and looked at Zhou Jieyu without saying anything more.

Zhou Jieyu began to weigh the pros and cons. What the NPC lady said made a lot of sense. Although she had unlocked a profession, it seemed that she still couldn't do anything without a recipe.

She only had 60 biru on her right now, and if she bought the recipe, she wouldn't have many left.

It's poverty that's to blame.

Zhou Jieyu was furious.

In the real world, she's incredibly wealthy.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Jieyu stammered, "I, I'll buy package one!"

Ding Dong!

The transaction price is 25 pesos.

Zhou Jieyu successfully learned two new recipes.

An Ran glanced at the wall clock; it was already 11:30. Around 12 o'clock, her stomach would rumble on cue. So An Ran turned to Zhou Jieyu and said, "Hi, I'm hungry now. Could you bring me some fried rice?"

[Standard Task: Buy Anran a fried rice!]

Task brief: ...

Task Reward: 50 experience points

Mission Level: E

Here it comes, here it comes, the mission has begun.

Zhou Jieyu immediately accepted and turned to leave.

Hey--

An Ran looked up, gazing wistfully at the azure sky. "It feels so good to be a kept man!" she thought.

I made another 55 pesos!

A pleasant smile appeared on her face.

Colin, who had just come out of the workshop, happened to see this scene. His lips twitched. This girl who came to him for a job and was eventually taken in seemed to be quite an extraordinary person.

"Cough cough..."

Colin coughed.

An Ran immediately turned around: "Is there something you need, boss?"

"It's the same thing as before. If you have time, come over and help me out after your lunch break," Colin said.

"Task issued: [Colin's Mechanical Engineering] Ring 6. Accept?"

Task reward: 2000 experience points.

Task repeatability: unique.

Here it comes, here it comes, the mission has begun.

An Ran immediately accepted.

An Ran was increasingly looking forward to the final reward of this hidden quest. What could it be? The reward for a hidden quest with so many rounds would definitely be substantial.

Although this task was relatively easy for her to trigger, it would be much more difficult for a player.

You need to raise Colin's favorability to a certain level, and you also need to be a Mechanic to have a chance of triggering the event.

Anran's advantage lies in the fact that she lives near Colin's repair shop, and Colin actually has some recollection of her.

Furthermore, during the job interview, An Ran briefly reminded Colin of his daughter, and this impression played a crucial role.

Zhou Jieyu is back, bringing a steaming plate of fried rice and taking away 50 experience points.

She went back and leveled up happily.

Anran quickly enjoyed the delicious fried rice and then went into the workshop.
