I'm caught in the cycle of endless competition, you're waiting for me in the apocalypse.

"If you encounter someone who is connected to the original owner of this body, just interact normally. Avoid developing strong emotions that could cause major events that alter the world's course or change others' destinies. However, since you don't have her memories, you're likely to give yourself away, so try to stay hidden as much as possible!"

"So what? I just don't remember. Using amnesia as an excuse is a great tactic! And my forehead is injured anyway~ Hahaha~ I'm such a plain-looking little genius~"

Di Ting continued to cover its face with its paws: I can't bear to look, I can't bear to look!

"Get back! Get back! What filthy thing!" Di Ting bent down and lay on the carpet. "Back to the main point, there are many supernatural and ghostly events in this world. The root cause is that while the two worlds are running parallel, the beings in the ghost world are becoming increasingly greedy for the spiritual energy of this world, causing their greed to continuously corrode the boundary of the world. The resentment and greed of the ghosts seep out continuously from the weak gaps in the boundary. These evil thoughts infiltrate this world, causing more and more people to develop greedy inner demons. If this continues, the ghost world will soon completely assimilate this world, and the two worlds will completely merge! And the unrestrained greed of the ghosts will absorb all the spiritual energy of the entire world, and then this world will completely collapse, causing widespread suffering."

"Don't these ghosts understand sustainable development?"

"The reason why beings in the ghost realm are reincarnated as ghosts is because of greed! The excessive pursuit of wealth, sex, fame, food, and sleep is the root of greed!"

"Oh no, I like so many of these! Who doesn't like RMB? Who doesn't want handsome guys and pretty girls? If I can't resist delicious food, am I even human? If I don't get enough beauty sleep, I'll be grumpy in the morning!"

"A gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it in a proper way! Everyone has a love for beauty! No matter the method, as long as it's not excessive, it's acceptable. As long as it's obtained through legitimate means and doesn't harm the safety of others, it's all fine. It's just a matter of whether you can grasp the right balance and control your thoughts so that you don't become excessively greedy for external things." Di Ting shrugged in a very human way.

"Okay, I understand now."

"If it weren't for the malfunction in the world's operating mechanism, we wouldn't have been able to get here so easily, after all, we're both still 'penniless'!"

"Then how do we collect spiritual energy, good fortune, and so on?"

“An Xin has finally made progress and hit the nail on the head, very good!” Di Ting switched to his old scholar mode. “We can obtain spiritual energy and merit through cultivation, and the scroll of fortune will gradually absorb spiritual energy for our use. As for fortune, it can be used for giving alms, doing good deeds at will, and eliminating greed.”

"Okay! But Xiao Jiu, I feel so tired right now, my head hurts... and I'm hungry..." An Xin propped her head up with one hand and covered her stomach with the other.

"Hmm, it's already past 7 a.m., time for breakfast!" Di Ting nodded his dog head. "The An family's servants should bring the meal up at 8 a.m. I'll go back to your sea of ​​consciousness to meditate now. Remember to drink a bottle of spiritual liquid to nourish your body after your meal."

“Yes, Sir!” An Xin saluted.

"Ahhh! Oh right, remember to soak in the bathtub after drinking the spiritual liquid... you know what I mean~" Just as Di Ting floated into An Xin's head, a dog's head suddenly popped out.

“…” An Xin rolled her eyes.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

I don't know if it's because of the fusion with the demonic path, but although this world has sunlight, it's neither bright nor warm, and it always gives people a cool feeling.

"Knock knock knock!" A knock came at the door a moment later. "Miss An Xin, I've come to bring you your breakfast!"

"Come in!" An Xin wondered to herself, why was the original owner of this body also named An Xin? Despite her confusion, An Xin still spoke softly, signaling the servant to come in.

The young maid placed the porridge and several side dishes on the small table, then turned to An Xin and carefully looked her over: "Miss, are you still feeling unwell? I made you egg drop porridge, which is quite light."

"Huh? Hmm! Okay... My head still hurts. I'll rest after I finish my porridge. You can come and collect the dishes at noon. You don't need to come over unless it's absolutely necessary!" An Xin said guiltily, covering her head.

"Okay, Miss. Oh, by the way! The gentleman and lady just called and said their flight is tonight and they'll arrive home around midnight. Since it's too late, there's no need to trouble you to wait."

"Okay, I understand." An Xin waved her hand, signaling the maid could leave.

After the maid closed the door, An Xin jumped up and quickly sat in the dining chair, beginning her first meal in so long... Her wolfing down of the food, devouring it like a whirlwind, showed absolutely no trace of the demeanor of a well-bred young lady...

When all the dishes on the table were empty, An Xin finally patted her stomach and let out a satisfied burp... That felt so good!

An Xin strolled leisurely into the bathroom. She turned on the smart bathing system, the bathroom lights came on, the temperature was adjusted to 28 degrees Celsius, and with a mechanical hum, the enormous jacuzzi appeared before her.

"Goodness, how many people can this bathtub hold? I got lucky and snagged this deal? Hehe, coming to this world and getting to enjoy the treatment of a young lady isn't a wasted trip."

While the bathtub was automatically filling, An Xin, mimicking the manner of the Listening God, chanted scriptures and summoned a scroll of good fortune. She opened the map, found and clicked the Hell Path reward button. Two porcelain bottles of spiritual liquid appeared before her. An Xin took one bottle and decisively drank it down. The sweet spiritual liquid was refreshing and smooth, flowing into her stomach and intestines, then carried by her blood to her limbs and bones, bringing a wave of warmth and nourishment.

Putting away the scroll, An Xin stepped into the bubbling bathtub and found a comfortable spot to settle herself. She closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth and comfort emanating from both inside and outside her body.

"Hey, Little Jiu, Little Jiu~ Are you there?" An Xin closed her eyes and communicated with Di Ting in her sea of ​​consciousness through her thoughts.

"Yes, I'm awake. What's up?"

"Xiao Jiu, you know about the original owner, right? At least you know a little bit, right? Tell me, it'll be helpful for our future actions. I swear, I won't do anything reckless... Just tell me, I'm so curious! You know, the original owner's name was also An Xin~"

"Alright, alright! It's no big deal to tell you; it'll help you avoid some dangers in the future!"

"Xiao Jiu is the best~ Tell me, tell me!" An Xin was so eager to gossip that she didn't notice the word "danger" that Di Ting mentioned later.

"Under the cover of the Fortune Scroll, the original owner's name has become An Xin. In the future world, the name of the body you inhabit will be assimilated to An Xin. Some minor habits and harmless behaviors will also be assimilated. The people around you will also accept these small changes. This is already the greatest convenience that the Fortune Scroll can give you."

"The original owner was 22 years old, a recent college graduate with a degree in business administration. After all, he was groomed to be the heir of the An family. He started learning various skills at a very young age to integrate into the upper class. Why 'integrate'? Because the An family's wealth was built from scratch by his father through his own abilities. The family's wealth was still relatively new, and their foundation wasn't substantial, so they could only be considered middle-class wealthy. In short, you're just an ordinary, mediocre rich kid!"

"That's all? Do you want to hear what you're saying? Even if you want to be a lazy rich kid, is that something ordinary people like us can even dream of? Ah... just give up... why should poor people make things difficult for other poor people!" An Xin thought indignantly.

"That's compared to real tycoon families! How many generations of wealth and foundation does it take to truly become a 'family'!" Di Ting is a divine beast that has lived for countless years and has experienced all kinds of things. He has long since become indifferent to these worldly matters.

"Hmm, even relativity is involved... Sir, you're quite something."

"You've led us astray again, be serious!" Di Ting was getting used to An Xin's joking around. "The original owner had a good personality, a gentle and innocent girl, you could tell from her appearance. She wasn't insecure or arrogant, and she had absolutely no aggression, just a nice young lady. All her qualities were above average."

"Were the original owner's adoptive parents good to her? Would they abandon the original owner once the real heiress returned?" An Xin asked, gesturing to her hands.

"No, firstly, judging from the fact that they raised the original owner to be a gentle and innocent girl with no scheming thoughts, the original owner's adoptive parents must have been very loving. This body's original family was very warm. Secondly, look, the real daughter has been back for a year, and the original owner is still living peacefully in her original little house, with no reduction in her food, clothing, or daily necessities."

"It's strange, but the real heiress, Wang Anna, found her herself and asked her parents to do a paternity test. Only after multiple investigations and confirmations were they able to acknowledge her."

"I'm so curious, I really want to know the cause and effect! Xiao Jiu, keep up the good work, cultivate more, absorb more spiritual energy and get all your skills back."

"I'm not a paparazzi, I'm not your gossip tool!" Di Ting stomped his foot, quite displeased.

"Isn't that so that our actions won't be restricted in the future? What if there's some dark force behind this that wants to harm the original owner? Wouldn't that hinder our actions?" An Xin really didn't expect that her casual remark would actually come true in the near future.
