Chapter 682: The Time Traveler Lady Who Time Traveled (III)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Who did the lady hate the most? Liu She was number one, followed by Gu Min . The last was her archenemy, Emperor Chen .

She’d spent 30 million points of popularity to purchase information regarding Emperor Chen . To receive such an infuriating answer, how could she not vomit blood?

After a while, the lady smashed whatever she could find in the living room . This barely appeased her fiery temper .

With her hair in a mess and her clothes unkempt, she dropped onto the sofa as she tried to calm the raging emotions flooding her mind .

“First it was Liu She, then Gu Min, those two b*stards…”

Hatred encompassed her entire being as she ground her teeth . Her gorgeous face was dreadfully sinister .

Gu Min was an average lady who had time traveled . She kept herself busy with paper workshops and selling bricks and glassware to earn money . Her time travel novel had a lame background story… As if she couldn’t see through it . She had already passed away, yet she’d left behind so much trouble . It was extremely annoying!

Of course, although she was consumed by anger, she would never be jealous .

So, what if Gu Min remembered the skills after she’d time traveled?

She had the System to provide cheat codes for her . In this aspect, she’d far surpassed Gu Min, a pathetic woman who’d traveled back in time .

By amassing enough points, wouldn’t she be able to gain any skills she wanted?

Based on who possessed more cheat codes, it was obvious which one had garnered the favor of the heavens .

But whatever was gained from this dimension would become her fortune when she returned to the timeline she’d come from . Thus, she was fervently amassing her wealth in secret .

She discovered traces of glassware at the northern borders that had been sold at exorbitant prices . Even average glassware of poor quality was being sold for ten thousand strings of coins .

As she ground her teeth, intending to exchange points for the skill of kiln firing for glassware synthesis, she realized that this skill required 45 million points of popularity .

The System told her that this skill was worthless in her eyes, but it was epoch-making in this dimension . The skill of synthesizing glassware by kiln burning far exceeded the technology of this generation . Thus, the skill set was highly valued . If she felt this was too expensive, she could choose not to buy it .

In the end, she still bought it . To reach her goal, she had to pay a price . She needed to think ahead when it came to business .

To earn big money, she passed on the skill to her confidants and encouraged them to sell the glassware they synthesized illegally .

In the beginning, she’d made some profits . However, she did not execute her plans well and the news leaked . The surge of profits had triggered the envy of other great families .

She’d cast a loyalty talisman on her confidants but not on the craftsman who worked at the brick kiln .

These craftsmen created a loophole . The secret to synthesizing glassware by kiln firing leaked . The merchants who imitated and followed the trend blindly were numerous as carps moving down a stream .

Within Zhongzhao, from the highest ranked to the lowest, there arose a wave of interest in glassware synthesis by kiln firing . This sparked a devious trend to earn money .

She dreamed her sweet dreams within the palace, ignorant about the situation outside . When she discovered that the glassware synthesis skill that she’d spent 45 million points of popularity on had only brought her a profit of less than one million string of coins, she almost vomited from frustration . Her hatred for Gu Min heightened .

As for the series of failed businesses and the disastrous effect on the people who’d gone crazy for this glassware trend, she was apathetic .

“For Gu Min to die that way was too easy for her…”

Lowering her head to see the grade 9 loyalty talisman in her hands, a coldness briefly appeared in her eyes .

“System, what martial arts level have I attained?”

“It is equivalent to the level attained by other respectable masters . Your fighting prowess is comparable to experts in the martial arts world . ”

Her face filled with delight . Based on what the System said, her martial arts fighting ability was top-notch .

She’d felt that spending all those points of popularity was heart-wrenching, but now she felt that it was all worth it .

With the assurance that she was at the level of respectable masters, why should she fear Xie Qian? Moreover, why should she be wary of Liu Xi?

She clenched her teeth and asked, “Do you know where is this young brat, Liu Xi, is at present?

The System questioned her, “Why is the host asking this question?”

She laughed hysterically . “I spent many points of popularity in exchange for a grade 9 loyalty talisman and to purchase information about her . Naturally, it’s to find trouble . Otherwise, what is the use of this exchange? With only one card, I have only one chance . Of course, I have to see through it myself . ”

Understanding dawned on the System . “Does the host intend to leave the palace? If you do, what happens to the “Empress” within the palace?”

She felt her heart waver .

Having put so much effort into attaining the Empress position, now she had to give it up . How could she be willing to do it?

Firstly, the position as the Empress had not come easily . How long had she schemed for it?

Secondly, the Empress would be the first to enjoy Zhongzhao’s riches . She could take advantage of this position to secretly amass uncountable precious treasures .

When she traveled back in time in the future, anyone of these precious objects would be worth millions .

It was the only way to propel her to success . A penniless, unpopular streamer had turned into Miss Perfect with countless precious treasures .

How could she be willing to abandon this source of wealth?

Even if she had to give it up, it didn’t need to be right now…

She clenched her teeth and thought of a perfect plan to resolve the situation .

Thirdly, the viewers who watched the live stream were mostly antisocial and lustful males, while a small proportion of them were generous local tycoons . They were willing to splurge large sums of money and often advertised all kinds of missions . After all, they wanted to experience for themselves what it felt like to be an Emperor enjoying the spring breeze with his concubines .

If she lost her position as the Empress, she would lose a portion of her viewers who were local tycoons . The loss would be too painful .

Nevertheless, if she didn’t leave Zhongzhao palace, she couldn’t be sure that she’d be able to pass her grade 9 loyalty talisman to anyone .

The only strategy left was…

She narrowed her eyes and conceived a plan .

“Didn’t Xie Qian assassinate me, causing me to bleed profusely until I entered a comatose state? Let’s see, why not create a puppet that can substitute for me, and I’ll be able to take this opportunity to flee… The System’s products are guaranteed quality products . No one will discover any flaws in your substitution puppet . ”

Even when she praised the System to the heavens, it still didn’t make any concessions for her .

“The 5 million point price is non-negotiable . ”

She pouted her lips and finally agreed, albeit angrily .

She mumbled softly, “Evil tyrant… Unscrupulous businessman . ”

On the other end, Xie Qian’s assassination attempt failed . He didn’t delay, decisively making a retreat .

After he paid a price, Xie Qian successfully shirked off the soldiers pursuing him .

With a jump, he fled within the vicinity of the desolate palace and met up with a middle-aged palace lady .

She observed the gloomy and dissatisfied expression on Xie Qian’s face and realized that Xie Qian’s assassination attempt had failed . She sighed helplessly .

“Master Xie, please follow your servant . ”

The palace lady looked older than her actual age .

Filled with frustration, Xie Qian coughed lightly which aggravated his wounds . His face turned pale white . “Sorry to trouble you . ”

The palace lady wore garments representative of the lowest rank of palace maids, yet her aura was mature and resolute . Her disposition was out of the ordinary and her movements were discreet .

Despite having an assassin by her side, she was level-minded as she helped Xie Qian dismiss the guards tasked to search the palace .

After she finished, the palace lady hid him within a clean barrel and smuggled him outside the palace that very night .

The barrel left the palace . In the middle of the journey, Xie Qian changed his transport and took refuge in someone’s dimly lit house .

“Seems like you didn’t manage to kill that evil woman…”

Xie Qian was arranging his bottles and glassware, frowning as he self-administered his medication .

He heard a familiar voice but he did not turn his head .
