Why My Sponsor Going Crazy Sending Me Money? - Chapter 4
“Will you stay in my body forever?” Ah Long glared at the ceiling.
“Upon mission completion, I will self-terminate,” Aba Aba replied cheerfully.
Ah Long snorted. “This mission is impossible anyway.” She flipped the Three Character Classic to a new page:
苟不教，性乃迁
gǒu bù jiāo, xìng nǎi qiān
(Without teaching, nature deteriorates)
Then pretended to nap. “They need time to absorb the last lesson,” she muttered when Aba Aba protested.
….
Jing Corporation Headquarters
Jing Mingchu ignored his executives, eyes locked on Ah Long’s livestream. The Three Character Classic recitation echoed through the boardroom.
Assistant Jing Shaoning finally dared to whisper: “Why her?”
“Don’t you see it?” Jing’s fingers hovered over another sapphire gift. “That look she gives the slums, like she’s measuring the fall.”
Shaoning’s blood ran cold. Of course the boss would fixate on another potential jumper. The man who’d survived 87 suicide attempts now funded safety nets on every skyscraper.
Six more sapphires rained into Ah Long’s account.
….
Milky Way Hotel
Ah Long jolted awake—not from the notification chimes, but Aba Aba’s electric warning shot. Her limbs twitched like a downed power line.
“Fucking torture device.” She checked her balance: 125,000 credits from GoldPatron alone.
The livestream chat raged:
[Who pays for SLEEPING??]
[GoldPatron needs therapy]
Ignoring them, Ah Long booked a ticket to Blue Star after spotting its oceans in a hotel ad. “Better than being electrocuted daily.”
Aba Aba approved: “Larger audience potential!”
….
Blue Star Arrival
The shuttle descent revealed what Rx Star lacked: An endless blue ocean. For the first time, Ah Long pressed against a window, mesmerized.
She streamed the view silently—until hotel security blocked their entrance for some VIP.
“Priority access my ass,” she muttered, then remembered the mic. Chat exploded:
[Did the Ice Queen just swear??]
[Someone check her pulse!]
At check-in, she shocked the concierge: “Where’s fun here?” Paper brochures arrived within minutes, a luxury unheard of on Rx Star.
….
New Rules
“Start teaching!” Aba Aba initiated Warning Two.
Ah Long yawned. “Get me another Three Character Classic first.”
She smirked as the AI stalled. “So you can’t access things here either?” The firewall weakness was clearer now.
GoldPatron’s latest gift notification blinked:
50 Sapphires Received (124,700 credits)
“This idiot’s funding my escape,” she thought, ordering room service as the ocean darkened outside.
