She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

The sounds of a man and woman laughing and joking came from the next room, followed by suggestive smacking sounds. Jiang Lai had no choice but to bury her head under the covers.

Because her movements were a little too vigorous, the bed beneath her creaked under the strain, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Jiang Lai dared not move. The bed belonged to the landlord, and she couldn't afford to break it, otherwise that stingy landlord would definitely try to deduct the deposit. How awful! When had she ever suffered such injustice!

Perhaps it was because the noise from Jiang Lai's side carried over that the sounds from next door quieted down.

Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief; she didn't want to listen to the live stream about men and women next door.

How could it have turned out like this? Jiang Lai really couldn't understand.

She simply took a nap and found herself transported to another world, into the body of a stranger. Jiang Lai believed she had traveled to a parallel world, but she refused to acknowledge that this was her parallel self.

The reason is simple: the original owner of this body was just too miserable.

Jiang Lai raised her hand. This hand was very white, but also thin, as if it would break if you bent it lightly. It was completely different from her previous well-maintained, slightly fleshy hand.

To be precise, this body had nothing in common with her. It wasn't ugly, but it was completely ordinary, the kind of person you'd forget if you just glanced at it in a crowd. The only thing that could comfort Jiang Lai was that it had very fair skin.

Before transmigrating, Jiang Lai was a pampered young lady who had no worries about food and clothing. After transmigrating, Jiang Lai became a pitiful girl who had no parents and left the orphanage when she was just eighteen years old.

The only thing the two have in common is their names; they are both called Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai is eighteen years old this year. She just finished the college entrance examination and got good results. She hasn't filled out her college application yet. The original owner originally wanted to apply to a teacher training college with a special program, so that she could save on tuition fees. She would only need to earn living expenses before the start of the semester.

But just as she had found a job, Jiang Lai arrived.

Jiang Lai hasn't left her room since yesterday, hasn't eaten anything, and has just been lying in bed, trying to accept this cruel reality. She got here, but what about the original owner? Did she transmigrate into her body? This is truly perplexing.

Jiang Lai touched the cheap, no-name smartphone on the bedside table, checked the time—it was already 10:30 p.m. No wonder her stomach was rumbling. She had no choice but to get up and go out to buy herself something to eat.

She took off her pajamas, which were already worn and fuzzy from washing, and changed into a loose white short-sleeved shirt, the kind you'd find at a street stall, the kind that costs twenty yuan for three. Then she put on a mask and a hat and quietly walked out of the room.

She inherited the original owner's body and memories, as well as the original owner's pitiful bank account balance.

Jiang Lai only had 123 yuan in her WeChat account, which she earned from odd jobs after she became an adult. Once she spent all of that, she would be completely broke.

Even so, she didn't plan to do the job the original owner had found for her—wearing a mascot costume and handing out flyers. It was too tiring; the young lady had never experienced such hardship. But Jiang Lai herself suddenly didn't know what to do to earn money.

She used to live off dividends from her family's company and never had a proper job... She went to an art college to study fine arts, so maybe she could draw portraits on the street?

Thinking this, Jiang Lai had already walked out of the alley. The place she originally rented was a shared apartment in an urban village. The landlord had divided one apartment into five rooms, and she didn't know how many people lived there. Jiang Lai lived in the smallest room at the very end, which was the cheapest. Because she didn't have much money, she had negotiated with the landlord to pay one month's rent as a deposit and one month's rent in advance, for a short-term rental of two months. A young couple lived next door. She didn't see the people in the other rooms very often, but they were all honest people who hadn't done anything wrong, otherwise it would have been too unsafe.

This area is still quite lively at night, with all sorts of stalls. Jiang Lai originally wanted to go to the supermarket, but after checking her balance, she ended up walking to a pancake stall instead.

"Master, give me a pancake, with pork tenderloin, please." Jiang Lai had never eaten anything from this kind of street stall before, so she found it quite novel. Seeing the person in front of her add pork tenderloin, she copied them and ordered it too. "Master, how much?"

The pancake vendor worked quickly, without even looking up, and said, "Seven yuan and fifty cents."

Jiang Lai scanned the QR code to pay seven yuan and fifty cents, then took the small plastic bag and headed back.

My current total balance is 115.5 yuan.

Jiang Lai returned to her small room. There was no sound from next door anymore; the young couple must have already gone to sleep. Jiang Lai sighed and started eating a pancake while scrolling through her phone.

"Beep—A suitable candidate has been detected. Would you like to select a binding option?"

Jiang Lai was startled by the sound, her hand holding the pancake trembled, and a piece of pork tenderloin fell to the ground. She subconsciously repeated, "Binding?"

"Bound. Loading—"

The voice was incredibly eerie, but Jiang Lai wasn't afraid. After all, she'd experienced far more outrageous transmigration and rebirth, so what was so surprising about having a system? On the bright side, maybe she could even use this system to reach the pinnacle of life!

I just don't know what kind of system this is. I hope it's one of those get-rich-quick systems from online novels, the kind where you die if you don't spend money.

Jiang Lai's mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts.

Undeniably, she was a little excited. Coming to this strange world was bad enough; if she had a cheat code, maybe things would be a little better? In any case, things couldn't get any worse than they were now. In a few days, she probably wouldn't even be able to afford a pancake!

"Loading successful. The favorability system is now in service of the host."

"Favorability rating???" Jiang Lai was completely confused. "What does that mean?"

"It's about gaining other people's favor!" the system explained to Jiang Lai in her mind.

Jiang Lai shuddered and muttered to herself, "Could you use a child's voice? The mechanical voice is a bit scary to me."

"Alright! Next, would you like to learn about this system, host?" The system switched to the voice of a cute little boy.

"Tell me about it!"

"I am Favorability System 001. As long as the host completes the tasks, wins over the high-quality people identified by the system, and gains their favor, you can get rewards!"

"What does 'high-quality people' refer to?"

"This is determined by the system, and it generally refers to people whose appearance, family background, abilities, and other aspects are beyond those of ordinary people."

"Do I really have to go after so-called high-quality people? Isn't that just becoming a playboy?" Jiang Lai had read those novels and understood what the system meant.

"High-quality individuals include both men and women!"

"Do I have to be bisexual?"

"There is not only love between men and women, but also friendship, teacher-student relationship, and so on."

"I see, that's good. But do I really have to target high-quality people? Can't I just go for ordinary people?"

"In theory, anyone can do it! But the conversion rate of favorability for ordinary people is relatively low. For example, if a task requires 100 favorability points, the favorability ratio for high-quality people is one to one, while for ordinary people it is one hundred to one. That means you need to acquire 10,000 favorability points from ordinary people."

Jiang Lai thought for a moment and said, "No problem, what's the reward?"

"It will be distributed according to the host's needs!"

"So, can you issue the task now?"

"Okay, host. The first task is to gain 100 points of favorability. Reward 1: Misty Cloud Hair; Reward 2: 1 RMB in cash. Choose one. Does the host accept?"

"accept."

Since the system doesn't specify that you need to gain favor with a particular person, this task is actually quite simple.

Jiang Lai's original world and this world are actually quite similar, with only some historical details differing. Furthermore, many things that existed in the original world also exist in this world, albeit with slight differences—for example, entertainment apps like Douyin.

Jiang Lai decided to become an internet celebrity to gain favor from netizens, as this was the quickest and easiest way.
