Basically, this is just a quick note about the story.
1. The heroine’s name is Aurora Batley. She has the same name as the lead in another one of my books, but the two stories are not connected at all. I just really like the name.
2. The heroine’s IQ equals the author’s IQ, the villains’ IQ is lower than the author’s IQ, and the author personally has no IQ. The novel’s logic depends entirely on the author’s logic, and yeah, the author has no logic either.
3. As long as it feels good, that’s the point.
4. About the heroine’s CP and all that—
Wouldn’t more be better?
This is a rich-girl, overpowered-female wish-fulfillment story. There will be no “strong heroine but even stronger man,” no male character taking the lead in the romance, and absolutely no one better than the heroine at showing off. Nobody is stronger than her.
5. This story does not include cultivation, martial arts, or anything like that. It’s just about the heroine spending money, buying stuff, and living it up. The system is only a tool that provides funds. There’s no hidden conspiracy or deep secret setup.
6. All the luxury brands in this story come from stuff I found online. If you’ve used or bought them before, please don’t roast me. I haven’t.
That’s all for now. If I think of anything else, I’ll add it later.
Aurora Batley opened her eyes to the slight shake of the plane.
“This aircraft is about to depart from Charles de Gaulle Airport for Metropolis Airport in Modu. Takeoff is imminent. Estimated flight time is ten hours. Dear distinguished passenger, please fasten your seatbelt.”
A low, gentle male voice drifted into her ears.
Aurora pushed herself up and looked around, quietly taking in the space around her.
Right now, she was half reclining in an oversized seat, with a blanket made of some unknown fur draped over her body.
The fur carried a faint fragrance. She couldn’t tell exactly what it was, but with her years of experience, Aurora could tell one thing right away—it was probably the scent of expensive wood incense, not the fake smell of air freshener or perfume.
She clicked her tongue inwardly.
That little blanket, the kind that barely covered half a person, probably cost at least tens of thousands.
She secretly pinched her arm.
Yep. That hurt.
Aurora suddenly remembered the words she’d heard before passing out. Testing the waters, she asked in her mind, “System, you there?”
A soft ding went off in her head, and a dialogue window popped up right in front of her eyes.
["Hello, Master. I am your Tycoon Spendthrift System."]
Aurora Batley stared at the panel, and a very specific kind of grievance welled up inside her, like: three years, then another three years, then another three years... do you even know how these nine years passed for me?
Aurora had once been a full-on chuuni girl.
No, to be exact, that was her in her previous life.
In that life, Aurora was born into a well-off family.
She had been ridiculously chuuni since childhood, but sadly, even by the time she turned thirty, no magical girl mascot had ever shown up asking her to save the world.
After her parents died in a car accident in her twenties, Aurora spent years doing nothing but saving money. Once she hit thirty and finally had enough tucked away, she started traveling around the world.
Two days ago, in some tropical rainforest, something she couldn't even identify bit her on the foot. The moment it happened, her head spun and her vision blurred.
Right before blacking out, Aurora heard a ding by her ear, followed by a flat mechanical voice saying, ["Ding ding—Host Aurora Batley has been bound. Tycoon Spendthrift System activated. If needed, the host may call for the system."]
So other people get a life-flashing-before-their-eyes moment before dying. Why is mine this weird? Aurora had thought.
And then she passed out.
When she woke up again, she was already here.
Aurora looked at the bizarre scene in front of her.
["The Tycoon Spendthrift System is at your service."]
Another line of text appeared before her eyes.
"So, what exactly can you do?" Aurora asked in her mind.
["Hello, Host. This system has two main panels in total: the Spendthrift Panel and the Shop Panel."]
["You may earn spendthrift points by spending the system's allocated funds, and then exchange those points for all kinds of items in the Shop."]
["You may silently recite 'System' to wake this system, silently recite 'Check Funds' to view today's allocated spendthrift funds, silently recite 'Points Query' to check your current spendthrift points, and silently recite 'Shop' to open the Shop Panel."]
