Chapter 30: Good Luck Charm 1
Editor: Larbre Studio
Jinli was unaware that this man had truly gone crazy from his rage.
While he angrily plotted his evil schemes, she called in some part-timers to clean and pack her new accommodation. All of it was done without a single care in the world.
Soon, her little villa was squeaky clean. Happy with her new purchase, she snuggled herself onto the uber-soft sofa and slowly sank into it. Soon, she was completely enveloped in the fluffiness. That was when she began her real work.
What real work could Jinli have? Of course, it was scrolling WeiBo. What else could constitute real work? She had to get her daily dose of Golden Auras.
Firstly, she uploaded some beautiful selfies with cute captions.
JinLisAKoi: Moved to my new place today, super happy with it:) Looking at myself, I think I got prettier again:) (emoji)(emoji)(emoji)
At this point in time, her new account had already accumulated millions of followers. This time, there weren't many illegitimate accounts. The followers were mainly fans of her looks and anti-fans.
Not long after she'd posted, the usual praise and slander quickly built up.
Jinli spent time, looking at each positive comment carefully. From them, she could feel the true admiration and praise they had for her. As for the haters, she completely overlooked them. Who had time for them anyway?
As she read the praise and admiration, countless minuscule particles of Golden Auras trickled in from all corners. Slowly, she could feel threads of warmth swirling around her. Closing her eyes, she sighed comfortably as she felt her Celestial Powers recovering.
When the restoration ended, she sighed again.
Alas, still such negligible amounts.
Dejected by her lack of progress, her eyes dropped onto her WeiBo where she scrolled and scrolled aimlessly.
Suddenly, her sakura eyes sparkled brightly. A brilliant idea had struck. If all of the other influencers could use retweet-for-prizes events to increase their outreach and also to thank their fans, then she could do so too!
Alright. Let's get to it immediately!
Having decided her course of action, Jinli enthusiastically jumped to attention.
Step 1, time to do some market research. She pulled up some prize-giving WeiBos and studied the methodology. From her observation, prizes of all sorts were given. Common prizes included lipsticks, bags, accessories and even in-game skins.
Jinli's eyes squinted as she gave this a thorough think through. She did not want to use such plain gifts. It was her first lucky draw, after all. It was a milestone, something very memorable. The prize had to be priceless and rare.
Ah! What a shame! I don't have my Celestial Power or my Godly Body!
At that thought, Jinli's eyes were down cast yet again. With her usual Godly self, she could have simply summoned her handy, omnipresent vault, and easily pulled out treasures that the human realm had never seen.
Now, she had to think of a new solution for herself.
Choice after choice ran through her mind.
Lipstick? Bags? Such ordinary prizes.
Extravagant goodies? Think someone's done that before.
How about cash? That's such a tacky move...
Jinli paced around the room with her phone in her grips, looking at choice after choice. Every single item seemed like a poor choice. If only she could gift herself instead..
Hmm?
Wait a minute...
Gift herself instead?
That's it!
Jinli's eyes lit up with radiance. She could capitalise on the recent trend of praying to the Kois for good fortune! How had she not thought of it earlier!
After all, within the Ninth Heavenly Realm, what was she, Goddess Jinli, most famous for?
It had to be her mind-blowing good fortune. Everyone knew that wherever Goddess Jinli went, lucky incidents followed.
Next, what was the most popular item in all of the Heavens?
It was not Celestial Robes sewn personally by Immortal Nichang, nor was it the thousand-year-old Wine of the Sacred Mount.Penglai. It also was not the erotic artwork that Celestial Grandmaster Bihua drew on a wimp… Erm, ignore the latter….
The most hot-selling item was actually the assorted talismans drawn by the hands of our Goddess Jinli!
All sorts of charms were available, be it Good Luck Charms, Luck-changing Talismans or Amulets of the Koi...
They had such popularity and loyalty from Celestial Beings from all walks of life. Their popularity was to the extent that all of her products were wiped off the shelves almost instantly.
While she was in the industry, Jinli had never understood why Gods would require the use of talismans. However, not all Gods were born with the Blessings of the Heavens like Jinli. the less fortunate Celestial Beings knew the benefits of these charms.
Just take one example. The Heavenly Judgement. Whenever it occured, once every 3 thousand years, the use of a few of Jinli's Good Luck Charms could weaken it twofold.
That was a gigantic benefit!
...
Back to reality.
Jinli's rosy lips tightened as she was deep in thought. She counted her fingers. What should she draw? How much should she draw?
Finally, she gathered her thoughts together and made her decision. In commemoration of her 1st talisman in the Human Realm, she would draw her strongest, most confident one: The Good Luck Charm!
