Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 813: Chapter 122: Deadly Trap (Part 2)

"This idea is awesome, honestly, it’s way better than my way of earning Heaven-defying Value. No need to look after it, no need to do the farming, sorting, pest control, or weeding yourself. Just entrust it to the campus, and you’ll automatically get Heaven-defying Value," Xiao Xian clicked his tongue in admiration.

Yiyi circled around the machine once and held back a comment: "Xuerou, I have to say, your brain cells are definitely the most developed, it’s just your sense of aesthetics..." Yiyi shuddered exaggeratedly, pointing distastefully at the new photography device, "I’d rather die than take a picture in something that looks almost like a coffin."

Xiao Xian and Xuerou were simultaneously taken aback; they hadn’t thought the pitch-black machine body was enough to make countless cute girls turn around and run.

The final decoration process of the machine was left entirely to Yiyi. She got a bucket of milky white paint, brushed the entire machine, then found various cute candy heart stickers, adorning the machine so it sparkled. About three days later, a street bustling with restaurants in Zone B now had a white super cute machine three times the size of an automatic vending machine.

Xu Lan Ya and her group of friends walked by and also noticed the machine.

"Wow, so cute," said one long-faced girl with more white than pupil in her eyes, with an intoxicated expression, "Is it a new vending machine? But why does it have a screen?"

"Don’t be so lame, that’s a photo booth, but by the looks of it, it’s like the nail machine I saw over in Taiwan," said Xu Lan Ya, who had more opportunities to go abroad and seen a bit more, immediately recognized the general purpose of the machine. She just hadn’t seen such a multifunctional machine before. Besides, it looked quite pretty. (As it turns out, heaven is still quite fair, Yiyi nodded in satisfaction, finally, there’s some appreciation from someone with a bigger chest than a head.)

Xuerou’s machine was four-sided; one side had the selection screen for photography, the other three sides were a nail art station, a marker printer, and a photographic screen.

"The school finally got it right, I’ve been saying, there’s nowhere to get beauty treatments or photos inside, it’s so inconvenient," Xu Lan Ya and her friends walked to the machine, looking at the instructions, "Taking an ID photo costs fifty Heaven-defying Value, a sticker costs one hundred Heaven-defying Value, nail art costs one hundred Heaven-defying Value per session, and printing and etching a photo or logo also costs one hundred Heaven-defying Value each."

"The prices really aren’t cheap," said the girls who weren’t exactly well-off, losing interest. On the North Campus, aside from some people who have special ways to earn money, most were just "poor" students, not wealthy in Heaven-defying Value.

"I think it’s fine, considering across the whole campus, this is the only machine with these features, naturally, it isn’t cheap," among her friends, Xu Lan Ya always had a good sense of herself. Without further ado, she looked at her own nails; she was just thinking of going outside to get her nails done, and now she didn’t have to.

"Lan Ya’s lucky, she has Ye Heng as an automatic ATM," one of the female students commented, watching Xu Lan Ya’s nails becoming lush and beautiful on the automatic nail machine’s station.

"Is Ye Heng all I can rely on?" Xu Lan Ya was displeased, they were underestimating her; without a man, she wouldn’t be much worse off. Lately, Ye Heng grew some guts and hadn’t made a single call.

"Yeah, Lan Ya doesn’t need Ye Heng; he’s just an Intermediate Student, anyway. Lan Ya, for this exchange meeting, you’ll definitely be selected, really envy you," another student chimed in, agreeing with Xu Lan Ya.

"It’s not decided yet, after all, lots of people applied for this exchange meeting, and Advanced Students aren’t qualified to participate, and those low-level students don’t have much ability, but..." Xu Lan Ya’s nails were done; she pulled out her hand, shook her nails, and the patterns looked great. She had found out that the selection supposedly was only pulled from Intermediate Students, no wonder Ye Heng hadn’t looked for her recently, she’d forgotten that Ye Heng was now also an Intermediate Student, and those female students from Zone C were all her obstacles.

Thinking to herself, she pulled out the Heaven Card from the card reader, "500 Heaven-defying Value."

"Wasn’t the max supposed to be 100 Heaven-defying Value? How did it just deduct 500 Heaven-defying Value all at once," being rich in Heaven-defying Value didn’t mean there was room for it to be wasted, the last ginseng field destruction cost Xu Lan Ya a fortune, and during the special period of a cold war with Ye Heng until the new ginseng grows, she had to live on Heaven-defying Value handed out monthly like everyone else.

Feeling furious, Xu Lan Ya went all the way to Romeo N, the robot at the material center in Zone B, to report the machine’s overcharging issue.

"Intermediate Student Xu Lan Ya, this type of machine is still in the testing phase, any functional error is inevitable, and I will report this issue to the developers. Once verified, feedback will be promptly provided, apologies for the inconvenience," Romeo N handled Xu Lan Ya’s situation as a standard case in a completely businesslike manner.

The complaint about the multifunctional nail machine, after some going back and forth, eventually made its way back to Xuerou, who, after taking one look, directly deleted the email. "Better tell Yiyi, she ordered that any consumption on ’Xu Lan Ya’ Heaven Cards should be charged at five times the Heaven-defying Value. Hmm, this isn’t ruthless enough; next time, I should tweak the machine’s programs a bit."
