Capítulo 3: Familiar faces

Chi Lian moped as she walked home. As a soldier, she was trained to be constantly vigilant. She heard the footsteps of someone following her before she saw them.

She turned around and scanned her environment. Most of the houses were locked. The inhabitants of Muyu slum were too afraid of trouble to be outside at ten p.m. There was nowhere for her to hide.

Three thugs were making their way towards her. The leader was the man with a nasty looking scar on his cheek she assumed.

Chi Lian knew they were not planning on letting her leave any time soon. This body was weaker than her last one so she could not fight them. She would have to rely on tricks to escape them.

She recognized the leader from her memory. He was Rong Zhi, a local thug that had been trying to get his hands on her since her family moved here.

He approached her with a sleazy smile on his face. "What do we have here?"

Chi Lian changed her stance. She was poised and ready to attack if he or his men made any sudden moves.

"I am not looking for trouble Rong Zhi." She said.

"Why do you keep rejecting me Chi-Chi? I am just trying to protect you. Everyone knows that I Rong Zhi is the most capable man in Muyu."

Chi Lian was disgusted to hear him call her nick name which only her friends and family were permitted to use.

"Then find someone who desires your protection. I don't need or want it." She said.

Rong Zhi's nostrils flared. He was angry because she had humiliated him by rejecting him over and over again.

"If you don't want to come peacefully, I have no choice but to make you one of my women forcefully." He grabbed her shoulder roughly and pulled her.

Chi Lian knew what his nasty intentions were. If he managed to take her, she would be raped before morning came.

She punched him in the nose and kicked his balls. He howled like an injured wolf and fell to the ground.

While he struggled to get up, Chi Lian turned around and run in the direction of her home. It was only five minutes away.

"Get her." Rong Zhi ordered.

The other two came after her like a pack of hyenas hunting a deer.

She was losing strength very rapidly.

"Hey, Mr. Pet, your host is in trouble. Isn't now the time when the system gives its host some kind of powers or weapon for self -defense."

"The only weapon I can access at your level right now is a bat."

"I will take it." Chi Lian stopped and gasped for breath. All that running had exhausted her. "What a weak body. So pathetic." She said. She looked at her screen and tapped a box with the bat.

A long shiny metallic bat appeared in her hands.

"Yo, T4 are you sure this is enough?"

"My name is Tetris double four not T4. The bat you are holding is enough to stop an armored truck with one hit depending on the strength of its wielder. It's made out of the strongest steel alloy in the universe."

Chi Li was a bit worried now. Wouldn't she kill these men if she hit them? She did not want to end up in prison as a murderer.

"Your strength is not enough to kill them. However it will incapacitate them for an hour at least."

"Good." She said. She used to play baseball in her past life. These thugs were in for a night of pain.

When the first one came close to her, she swung and him in the stomach. She kicked the second one and hit him with the bat in the head.

They fell to the ground and groaned.

A whizzing Rong Zhi also arrived just in time to see his men on the ground.

"You bitch." He lunged at her.

She swung her bat, aiming in between his legs again. Clearly he needed another reminder.

Rong Zhi fainted from the pain.

She laughed with joy and pretended to be at a baseball match in the middle of a field, "And it's a home run Ladies and gentlemen." She bowed.

She caressed the steel pipe and kissed it. "I think I will name you wrath." she said.

She quickly made her way home and opened the door. Her family members were all up and waiting for her.

Chi Lian was stunned at the first sight of her parents. They were identical to her deceased parents on her original earth.

"How is this possible?" she asked.

A wave of painful emotions overwhelmed her. In her world, her parents died in a car accident when she was a child. Her aunt and uncle raised her. They gave her all the love in the world but she still felt that gap in her soul.

Like any other child, she craved for the love of her parents. She wanted to act like a baby and be carried by them. She longed to share a bed with her mother and share secrets about boyfriends and love.

She could never do that with her uncle and aunt. They tried but the gap could not be covered. It's the reason why she joined the army.

She was searching for something. She figured fighting for the country and helping those in war torn countries would fill some of that gap.

But now, here they were. Two people who looked like her parents.

"Chi-Chi, where have you been? We have been so worried." Her mother looked over her body as she asked. "Why is there blood on your shirt?"

She stayed silent and tears made their way down her eyes.

"What's wrong Chi-Chi? Say something? Were you bullied?" Her eldest brother Chi Wei asked.

He was ready to kick the ass of the person who had caused pain to his sister.

"Boo- hooo…." Chi-Chi wailed loudly very suddenly that her entire family was shocked.

"Mother, Chi-Chi missed you so much." She threw herself into her mother's arms.

Her mother hugged her tight and rubbed her back.

Her father who was limping joined them and hugged them both. His daughter's sobs were heartbreakingly painful. It was his fault that she was in pain.

"Daddy is sorry Chi-Chi. If I had not been conned by Zhi Hai we would not be living like this. You would not be running around looking for money."

After crying her heart out, Chi-Chi left her mother's embrace and looked at their house. It was so depilated and old that even mice would probably not want to occupy it. It was so tiny and her three brothers were sharing one room. She was the only one who had a room all to herself.

"I will find a way to earn money again. Don't go out again at night." Her father looked determined.

"I have already found a way to make money. Don't worry daddy. We will rise again." She assured him.

Her family was perplexed. Chi-Chi had no real life experience. She had also just graduated from school. Most of the high class society was isolating her family. Even her two brothers had failed to find good jobs. Where was she getting her confidence from?

Chi Lian saw the confusion on their faces.

"I have a friend that works as a paparazzo. He makes over twenty thousand yuan a month. And if he takes a juicy picture, he sells it to the entertainment company or the celebrity for as much money as he can. So i have decided to become a paparazzo as well."

"Eh." Her eldest brother Chi Wei's jaw almost hit the ground. "You used to hate them when we were still wealthy."

"And now we need money. I will bring our family back to the top. In fact, eldest brother and second brother should not worry too much about jobs. In just one month, we will open our own internet news website.

Then a media house. And an entertainment company."

"She is dreaming." Her youngest brother Chi Zimo said.

"You brat." she slapped him on the back of the head.

"Aww...mum she hit me." he looked at his mother for justice.

"Your sister should hit you some more. Why are you stepping on her ambitions." She looked at her daughter who for the first time in her life had a goal and an ambition, "I support you. Tell me if you need anything."

Chi Lian was now focused. In the beginning, she assumed she would not have any attachments to this family of strangers. But now, she felt a connection to them. They were her people. She would not allow misery to be part of their lives.

Capítulo 4: The mighty little peep star

Chi Lian was eager to get started on her get rich plan. She grabbed some bread and butter from the kitchen, poured herself a glass of milk and went to her bedroom. It was late in the night; the rest of family had gone to bed after she reassured them that she was alright. She was so happy that she at least still had her laptop. Work would be easier with it.

She turned it on and stretched her hands. The first order of business was to create an account. Every good self-respecting paparazzo had one. The more followers she garnered, the more valuable she would be in the entertainment world. Of course she had no plans of letting anybody know that she was the brains behind it. She was going to offend a lot of people. Some of them were powerful enough to deal with her if they did not appreciate her content.

"Yo, T4, let's begin." She said.

The sullen little fox sighed and surrendered. Looks like T4 was now its name.

"Grant me permission to access the internet in your world. "

"Done." She said.

"I will create a program that protects your account from being traced or tracked. You won't have to worry about blow back from your posts."

"He-he-he." Chi Lian laughed like a villain and rubbed her hands together. She was ready to create chaos in this world.

She thought about what name to use on her account. Five minutes of thinking and she came up with the perfect name, 'The Mighty Little Peep star.'

Indeed, it was the perfect name. She would be peeping into the Lives of the rich and famous after all. She would be anonymous. They would come to love and fear her.

Chi Lian realized that she had one small expensive problem. She had no cameras. And she could not afford one at the moment. The entire family had pulled together their remaining funds to pay for this house, pay off their debts and pay Chi Zimo's university fees. They were out of money.

"T4 how do you expect me to be a paparazzo without a camera? If you want me to do this job, you should provide the tools."

"That's not a big problem for me." T4 cracked the knuckles of his paws. "At your level you have access to two tiny drone cameras that can record and take pictures at your command. "

She tapped on drone camera icon and two shiny black cameras appeared before her. They were as small as a fly. They even resembled it in structure. If somebody came across one, they would simply assume it was a fly.

"How are they this tiny?" she asked in wonder. She had never seen anything like it in her life.

"I told you. Our technology is nothing to play around with. We are a civilized world." He replied proudly.

"Does that mean you think we are barbarians?" she asked.

T4 could see the frown on her face. He needed to be on her good side because she was his host and owner in this world. He needed to choose his next words carefully.

"No. I think your world is just an infant in development. But it has potential." He said nervously and hoped she would drop the topic at that.

"Hmm." She replied. "Nice save."

T4 sighed in relief. He looked like a wilted balloon that had just deflated.

"What else do I get apart from the two cameras?"

"You have access to a motorbike that is faster than the cars in this world when it comes to speed. It can adjust its size and height according to your wishes. It's also voice activated so nobody but you can use it without your authorization. Most importantly, through my control, it can make its way to you wherever you are.

You have a pair of shoes that can out outrun a moving car. A universal key card opener for any electric lock door. Night vision goggles that can see through any wall in the dark. And five energy capsules."

"Damn. Those sound like some powerful items." Chi Lian was impressed.

"You haven't seen powerful yet." T4 bragged. "All these items are stored in your virtual storage. You can access them when you need them with the command of your voice or tap of your finger."

"So how do I increase my level? Because I am assuming the higher I level up, the better the equipment I can access and the more your power reserves increase."

"The more you use the technology I provide to accumulate popularity and wealth, and change your world, the more points you earn. And the higher the points, the higher your level gets. The higher your level gets, the more powerful I become."

"Well I hope we can achieve great things T4."

"By the way, with access to your internet, I have restored communication with my original owner. You are not privy to our conversation. However, he can deposit items in his virtual storage which I can access if you wish to use them. You will need to exchange something for those things in return. Mostly seeds.

Basically its like I am sharing a locker with an alien but I cant touch, see or use his things. She thought.

"Seeds?" she was confused. There was nothing she could really offer someone in a high tech world. Seeds were easy.

"Yes, seeds. I told you, plant life died out in our world. If you can provide him with seeds, he can become a powerful force on our planet. He can offer the seeds to the research base in return for certain privileges."

That was not an issue to Chi Lian. Seeds were plenty and cheap on this green planet. Technology of their alien kind however was something new.

She would use it to grow her own force.

"Tell him we have a deal."

"Yes my Lady." The fox said and disappeared from the screen.

"My lady." Chi Lian pondered, "I like that."

She had everything she needed to start her job. She needed to introduce herself properly on her weibo account to attract followers. The profile picture was a red cartoon wolf with a camera.

She typed.

"My dear little peep stars. I will be dedicated to bringing you into the lives of the rich, famous and the crooked. Follow me the mighty little peep star and you will not regret it. FYI most of the pictures and content in the private collections will be for sale."

That should be enough.

Now for an appetizer, she needed to post something so that they would know that this was a serious account.

"T4, which celebrities are out partying tonight?"

"I will check immediately."

T4 had already hacked into all the entertainment companies in the country. He made a list of celebrities from the most known to the least known.

"The actress Sasha Li is at the Grande club partying with top actor Wu Lian the action king. Is this juicy enough for tonight?"

"Sorry Sasha and action king but a girl needs to feed. Send the flies. I mean drones."

An address and instructions were given to the tiny drones and they set off. They were as fast as an airplane in the sky. The Grande club was about two hours from her current address but the drones were there in thirty minutes.

Chi Lian could see everything they were viewing. Sasha and Wu Lian were dancing very closely. He even kissed her at one point. These two people were claiming to be single in public but dating in private. She wondered how much their companies would pay to keep this quiet.

"Take pictures and record everything." she instructed." The drones took pictures and recorded a video. "He-he-he.." she laughed in that villain like voice again.

T4 shivered and felt mercy for the two unlucky individuals.

She typed,

["My dear little peep stars, it has come to my attention that Top actor Wu Lian the action King has been seen spending time with the young Sasha Li. One can't help but wonder why?"]

"T4, edit the pictures and post them. Then hack different sites and promote our account." She yawned. It had been a long hard day. Tomorrow would be a lovely one. She went to bed.
