Chapter 147: 147 Upgrade (fourth update)

Money transfers getting misdirected? And it’s a group mistake!

Chu Jin furrowed her brows in thought for a while, then called Miao Xinran.

"Hello, Xinran, did you and your brother accidentally transfer money to me? Why did it end up in my account? Send me your card number, and I’ll transfer it back to you."

"Jin, you really are forgetful!" Miao Xinran’s voice carried a hint of sleepiness, as if she had just woken up, "Didn’t we agree that day at Shangtian? It’s a token of appreciation. Who else would we give it to if not you? Surely not to Wang Xuxu?"

"Token of appreciation?" Chu Jin slightly raised an eyebrow, now recalling that there had indeed been such an occasion.

"Sigh, I didn’t take it seriously. Send me your card number quickly, and I’ll transfer it back."

"Besides, I’d feel guilty accepting so much money,"

It was just a joke; how could she simply take so much money from others?

"Jin! If you talk like that, you’re not treating me like a friend! One must keep their word. Besides, my brother has plenty of money; he doesn’t care about such a small amount. Just keep it and be careful not to upset me, or I might fall out with you! Alright, that’s enough talking. I’m hanging up now. See you tomorrow."

Chu Jin, with somewhat of a headache, looked at the disconnected call, then dialed Mo Qingyi.

Who knew, Mo Qingyi said the same thing as Miao Xinran, refusing to send her card number no matter what, and even used their pure friendship to threaten her.

But still, she couldn’t just take so much money from them for no reason!

At that moment, a pair of pure and knowledge-seeking eyes appeared in her mind.

She quickly opened the mobile banking app, navigated to the transfer section, and entered a string of numbers deeply engraved in her memory.

Together, the three had transferred thirty million to her. After some thought, she took another thirty million from her account and anonymously transferred it to the charity account.

Although not a large sum, it might not even cover the cost of building one road, at least it could keep them fed and warm for a while.

"Jin, the system detected that you have a very high conscience value," Zi from the Purple Sound Spirit Box sniffed her nose and continued, "Don’t you earthlings have a saying, ’People die for wealth, as birds die for food.’ You’ve transferred so much money away, and anonymously at that. Doesn’t it hurt?"

Sixty million gone in an instant!

If it had been a public transfer, the related authorities would have probably treated her like royalty.

Yet this person’s thought process is different from others’, choosing to remain anonymous.

Who would say thank you for an anonymous transfer?

Is her host a bit foolish?

Chu Jin arched her eyebrows, as if deep in thought, "Of course it hurts..."

Hearing her say this, Zi was about to make a playful remark, but then she added, "That’s why I’ve decided not to upgrade you tonight."

Zi immediately dropped the sunflower seeds she was holding and cried out anxiously, "Jin, Jin, I’m sorry! I’ll never be naughty again. Please don’t do this, alright..."

Chu Jin focused intently on the English speech manuscript in her hands, as if she hadn’t heard Zi’s words.

Zi instantly became melodramatic, hands over her chest, feigning heartbreak, "Jin, my heart aches. You can’t just leave me to die!"

Chu Jin put down her pen and slightly raised an eyebrow, "Will you ever stop chattering?"

"I’ll stop chattering!" Zi immediately held up three fingers earnestly, "I swear on it!"

Chu Jin couldn’t help but laugh at his little act, "Alright, alright, I get it. I’ll upgrade you, but before I do, you have to help me with something."

Zi patted her chest confidently, "What is it? Just leave it to me, Zi Han the third."

Chu Jin looked up with an air of nonchalance, "Give me something that can make me invisible."

She had a grand task to undertake!

Upon hearing this, Zi let out a few mischievous chuckles, "Invisibility gear? Jin, are you planning to cause some trouble? Tell me the truth, have you taken a liking to some handsome young man? Do you want to watch a Pretty Boy bath?"

Chu Jin glanced at him helplessly, "Yes! I want to watch a Pretty Boy bath! So what? Just tell me if you’ll give it to me or not?"

Zi clicked her tongue twice, "I never expected you to be such a person, Jin."

With a flick of her hand, a transparent glass bottle suddenly appeared on her writing table.

Zi explained, "This is Invisibility Water. Drink it, and you’ll become invisible, but one bottle only lasts about three hours, so manage your time well."

Chu Jin nodded, "Got it. Now let’s upgrade you."

"Okay then." Zi waved her stubby little hand, and a transparent screen appeared in the air, showing two buttons, ’Do you choose to spend 100% Faith Points for the upgrade?’

Chu Jin was just about to reach out and press ’Yes.’

But Zi suddenly spoke up to stop her, "Hey, Jin, wait a second, I have something to tell you."

Chu Jin arched an eyebrow, "Go ahead."

"The upgrade might take about ten days, and you mustn’t miss me too much during that time,"

Chu Jin gave him a blank look, casually saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll think about you three times a day."

Zi instantly blushed, hands covering his face, "Oh my, Jin, you’re making me bashful by saying that."

Chu Jin looked up to the sky; her guardian spirit was irretrievably on the path of foolery.

"Jin, during the time I’m away, be careful and if you come across any troubles you can’t handle, don’t force yourself to confront them head-on. Just wait until I return," Zi gradually became more serious.

"The system will occasionally issue tasks to you. Without my help, you still have to complete them properly. And I’ve prepared a few self-defensive items for you in your Purple Sound Spirit Box, which you can use when necessary."

It’s just a ten-day absence, right?

Making it seem like a life-and-death farewell, it even got her feeling a bit melancholic.

Chu Jin nodded imperceptibly, "Alright, I got it, thank you."

After saying this, she looked up at Zi and pressed ’Yes.’

"Jin, see you in ten days," Zi smiled and waved at her, her chubby figure gradually turning transparent, until she completely disappeared into the void.

At the same time, a message from the system rang in her mind, [Ding! Upgrade started! Task duration: 14400 minutes!]

Chu Jin was taken aback!

minutes? Is this how we’re playing now?
