Wang Lanqing pursed her lips and looked in the direction of Qi Yu, sighing from the bottom of her heart, "If Sister Qi Yu were born in our world, she would definitely be a top female entrepreneur. This is the first time I've seen someone become the Heavenly Dao and still be thinking about making money."
"More than that," Yue Zhiyin couldn't help but join the complaint, "even if we didn't become the Heavenly Dao, most of us ordinary cultivators are after cultivation, after becoming immortals. Who would have thought of making money as a goal?"
"Hey, Senior Brother, you can't say that. Think about when I first joined the sect, what were all your statuses? You were either the Crown Prince of the Dragon Clan or the little Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Clan. In the end, I was the only one with nothing, a poor wretch. Of course, I had to make money. And even for ascension, you need money," Qi Yu said, counting on her fingers for everyone. "Think about it, cultivation requires spirit stones, right? Besides that, you need to make protective magical artifacts. And if you have to deal with heavenly tribulations, you need even more things. Which of these can be done without money? Even if you have the sect's help, you still have to slay demons and monsters for the sect. But the rewards you get for slaying demons and monsters are just barely enough. In reality, it's hard to buy anything more expensive. And even if the sect can provide it, you yourself have many other ideas. At this time, you can't just rely on the sect; you have to rely on yourself. In short, when you add it all up, money is truly a necessity. If I didn't have so much gold, do you think I would have lived so smoothly before I became the Heavenly Dao?"
Si Qing was rendered speechless by her words. After thinking carefully, she actually found it quite reasonable.
Wang Lanqing was also speechless, and even looked at her with admiration, "Sister Qi Yu, if I had this idea before I transmigrated, I wouldn't have been a pauper before transmigrating. Look, I showed you my house before, right? Although my house was cheap at the time, it wasn't bought by myself; it was bought by my family."
Qi Yu looked at Wang Lanqing with some curiosity upon hearing this, "Hey, you haven't mentioned visiting your family since you came back this time. You've been away from this world for many years, haven't you? Your family must have been frantic looking for you."
If one were to guess by common sense.
"No," Wang Lanqing's expression became a little dejected when this matter was brought up. "My parents divorced a long time ago. After I returned to this world, no one looked for me. I had no missed calls or phone calls. I also asked the community office, and no one came looking for me. They didn't even know I had been missing for over ten years."
Wang Lanqing said this with a low mood, looking somewhat forlorn.
Qi Yu looked at Wang Lanqing, initially remaining silent. After a while, she suddenly asked, "Since that's the case, why don't you try to get revenge and make them contact you proactively?"
Wang Lanqing was stunned by the question and didn't understand what she meant at first.
Qi Yu raised an eyebrow, "Don't you feel resentful? With us now, your situation is different from before you transmigrated. So, if you're willing, I can make you a nominal female tycoon. After all, I've invested most of it in your name."
Wang Lanqing's eyes widened in disbelief. This time, she understood what Qi Yu meant. "Sister Qi Yu, you mean you make the money, but the reputation is mine? This way, everyone will think I'm very rich?"
Qi Yu nodded, "I'll say externally that we are in a partnership, so it can't be said that only you are very rich, but that we are very rich."
Wang Lanqing suddenly understood, and then asked a little uncomfortably, "But I haven't done anything, I just provided an identity. Even doing business is something you do. Is this really okay? It feels like I'm just lying down and letting you make money for me, although that's indeed the case..."
"What's not to like? We are companions now. Besides, don't you want them all to come begging you?" Qi Yu found it absurd that Wang Lanqing's parents hadn't cared or asked about her for over ten years.
If Wang Lanqing suddenly became rich, a well-known investor, there was an 80% chance her parents would proactively try to connect with her.
Wang Lanqing nodded.
Si Qing looked at Wang Lanqing's very ordinary attire, "Actually, if you really want to be a successful investor, why not go shopping at the mall?"
They didn't care; they could conjure all sorts of clothes with their magic, but Wang Lanqing and Chi Shangming couldn't. No matter how high their magic was, they couldn't sustain conjured clothes for long.
So, compared to them, these two should be the ones to go shopping.
Chi Shangming expressed indifference, "This tracksuit I'm wearing is quite good."
Although his spiritual energy wasn't as powerful as the others, he was protected by his cultivation and wouldn't freeze. He was just wearing thin clothes, but compared to the robes and skirts he wore before, these were more convenient for movement.
Qi Yu looked at Chi Shangming, "You can't just fool us. Others can change their clothes according to their laws. If you stand with us but can only wear this ordinary tracksuit that costs over thirty yuan, what will that look like?"
"Never mind if others laugh, but if you stand with Wang Lanqing, it won't match, will it? So, you still need to buy clothes. Besides, you don't have to pay for it, so what are you worried about?"
Chi Shangming was rendered speechless and could only nod in agreement, saying thank you many times.
Wang Lanqing had already started browsing the latest designer collections on her phone.
Chi Shangming also joined in to watch the fun.
Feng Mingxi looked at the couple browsing for clothes online on their phones and couldn't help but sigh, "If only we could bring the internet from this world to our world. In our world, to do anything, you need to go to a store. Even if you don't go, you have to make it yourself or pay someone to do it. Never mind if it's expensive; just the thought of it sounds troublesome."
After staying in this world for a long time, Feng Mingxi recalled how their previous world lacked everything. There were no online games, no online novels, and even the variety of food wasn't as diverse as in this world. Thinking about it made him feel weary.
Qi Yu mused, "Perhaps it's not impossible."
