Chapter Six: The Dangerous Man

After the weighing, the gold that Li Chuxi brought out weighed a total of two jin, amounting to over six hundred thousand yuan in sales.

Seeing the balance on her bank card, Li Chuxi’s mood brightened considerably. With this initial capital, it would be much easier for her to make money going forward.

As she was leaving, she happened to encounter a man sitting in a wheelchair right at the entrance. A bodyguard was pushing him from outside.

The man’s smooth, pale face was sharply defined, exuding a cold, handsome aura; his deep black eyes shimmered with an alluring glow; thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and exquisitely shaped lips—all radiated nobility and elegance.

Yet despite his striking appearance, the man emitted a chilling presence, especially through those profound eyes which, though captivating, revealed no trace of emotion.

Li Chuxi subtly distanced herself from him, quickening her pace as she left.

Only after putting some distance between them did she exhale slowly.

“People like that are truly dangerous,” Li Chuxi swallowed hard. “When did such a figure appear in the imperial capital?”

“Right? Just now, I felt like my brainwaves were trembling,” Lingling Yao began chattering again. “I thought there was a glitch!”

Though Li Chuxi said nothing, deep down she had already marked the man as a key threat. Fortunately, she wouldn’t likely cross paths with him again.

“Host, that man looks weak but is actually very powerful,” Lingling Yao’s tone turned more gossipy. “Do you think he’s pretending?”

“No,” Li Chuxi answered firmly. “His body is already decayed, but he must have used some extraordinary means to prolong his life.”

“Host, can you save him?” Lingling Yao was curious. “You have divine medical skills; it shouldn’t be a problem for you to heal him, right?”

Currently, Li Chuxi was highly skilled in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, truly a miracle healer.

“I don’t know,” Li Chuxi said indifferently. “I only glanced at him today and roughly understood his condition.”

This encounter was purely accidental; she had no intention of provoking a dangerous person.

“All right, at least now I have a small fortune in hand. I’ll just go have a light supper!”

Before leaving, Li Chuxi had already prepared all her disguises. Although her reputation in the entertainment industry wasn’t pristine, she was quite famous after all—infamy is still fame!

If she brazenly sold gold bars, tomorrow’s headlines would surely scream: “Fallen star of the entertainment circle resorts to selling family assets to survive.”

Soon, Li Chuxi found herself on a bustling snack street. She savored delicacies all along the way, from one end of the street to the other.

Watching her eat with such relish, Lingling Yao felt a pang of envy.

“Lingling Yao, it’s not that I don’t want to share with you!” Li Chuxi’s voice carried a hint of regret. “But you’re a system—you can’t eat!”

“I can!” Lingling Yao’s voice grew excited. “As long as you accumulate enough points, I’ll have a chance to manifest physically.”

Upon hearing this from her mind, Li Chuxi was momentarily stunned, then a foreboding feeling crept over her. “Lingling Yao, did you do something?”

“Host, I know that if you come back and do nothing all day, it will feel unfamiliar,” Lingling Yao’s excited voice rang out. “So, I applied to headquarters to activate your new mission—dominate the entertainment industry.”

Lingling Yao’s dramatic declaration made Li Chuxi involuntarily draw several black lines across her forehead.

Gritting her teeth, she said, “Lingling Yao, you little trapper. Hurry up and explain everything clearly.”

Perhaps sensing Li Chuxi’s anger, Lingling Yao’s tone softened, and she hesitated as she spoke, “Host, don’t worry. Once you complete the corresponding tasks, you will receive even greater rewards! Rest assured, the system won’t let you work for nothing.”

Catching a hint of pride in Lingling Yao’s words, Li Chuxi replied sarcastically, “So I’m supposed to thank you, huh?”
