The Free Laborer

"A goddess indeed, chosen from a million to be the otaku goddess, right?" In the girls' dormitory, Qilin said sarcastically as she watched Lena twist her body, trying to get used to the clothes.

Lena seemed not to detect the sourness in her words and continued to laugh heartily, "Not the otaku goddess, but the Goddess of Dawn! From now on, you have to call me Your Highness!"

"Tch, I think she's more like a 'nervous goddess'!" Du Qiangwei said grumpily.

"Uh..." Lena was instantly choked, forced a dry laugh, and quickly changed the subject, "I still have too few clothes. I can't always wear yours, and look, they don't fit at all..."

"Who told you your butt is so big?" Qilin retorted equally unhappily.

"Ah ha ha ha..." Lena forced a laugh to cover her embarrassment and said, "How about it? Ladies, accompany me on a shopping spree?"

"No time!"

"No money!"

Du Qiangwei and Qilin both objected. They didn't dislike Lena, but they didn't particularly like her either. After all, Lena was here to assess them, or more bluntly, to beat them up. Who would like being beaten up?

Qilin had been staying in the dormitory, minding her own business, and wasn't very aware of what was happening outside. But after the meeting where she learned about the miserable state of the boys, she began to be wary of her roommate Du Qiangwei and developed a dislike for those who conducted assessments. Even though she had been assessed to get into the police academy, no normal person enjoyed being beaten!

Du Qiangwei understood the complexities of the situation even better. After all, she was one of the assessors. Her training and assessments in the army were much stricter than Qilin's ordinary police academy. The instructors in the army beat people as hard as they could, showing no mercy. As long as it wasn't a vital spot, they would hit it with all their might, even the female instructors!

Seeing that neither of them was buying it, Lena looked a bit troubled. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "How about I go easy on both of you during the assessment? Keep me company, please? It's my first time on Earth, and I want to have some fun..."

"You said it!"

Du Qiangwei and Qilin said in unison. To prevent Lena from going back on her word, Du Qiangwei added, "No take-backs!"

"Hahaha, I am your goddess! Would your goddess go back on her word?" Lena laughed heartily, waving her hand generously.

"OK!" Du Qiangwei stood up, paced a few steps, and pondered, "Since it's a shopping spree, we have to buy a lot of things..."

"Naturally, naturally!" Lena said, a little impatiently.

Du Qiangwei waved to stop Lena's excited expression, "That also means spending a lot of money. Do you have any?"

Lena felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. Ryze the Wanderer had teleported her here in a hurry, and she didn't even have clothes, let alone money. Besides, even if she did, Lieyang's currency wouldn't be usable on Earth! Moreover, as a goddess of the Lieyang Civilization, she didn't even have the concept of money in her eyes. She only learned about it after doing some research before coming to Earth...

"Don't you... have any money?" Lena asked hesitantly.

"Why should we give you our money for your shopping spree?"

Du Qiangwei and Qilin answered in unison again. Qilin added, "I've been temporarily suspended since I came to the academy. My new position hasn't been properly handed over yet. I'll only be appointed after I pass the assessment and become a Xiong Bing Lian warrior!"

"Oh, then it's over. When will that happen?" Lena covered her face and cried mournfully.

"Besides, you'll need someone to carry all those things you buy. I don't want to be a porter!" Du Qiangwei said.

"I don't want to either!" Qilin added.

"After all that, you still don't want to accompany me, right?" Lena, though somewhat carefree, wasn't stupid. Her tone turned unfriendly as she threatened, "Then the assessment..."

"Fine, then don't wear our clothes and go naked. I think those boys would love that assessment!" Du Qiangwei was completely unfazed by Lena's threat and said with a cold smile.

"You..." Lena was speechless.

"However, these problems of yours aren't problems at all for someone!" Du Qiangwei changed the subject, staring into Lena's eyes and saying, "As long as you add one more person to your list for going easy, I think that person would be very willing to be our porter who pays out of pocket!"

"Who?" Lena quickly asked, immediately forgetting the unpleasantness of her argument with Du Qiangwei.

Qilin looked up at Du Qiangwei in surprise. She seemed to understand something. Du Qiangwei had laid so much groundwork, all to secure another spot for someone. It seemed that person was at a disadvantage, but compared to a formal assessment at Lena's level, it was really nothing!

"Wei Zitong!" Du Qiangwei said a name.

"Who is Wei Zitong?" Lena quickly asked.

Du Qiangwei turned towards the balcony and said, "It's that pretentious guy over there reading on the balcony!"

Lena followed Du Qiangwei's gaze and saw the handsome young man who had helped her avoid embarrassment by making her invisible during Ryze the Wanderer's summoning class today. She smiled and said, "It's him! This goddess was already planning to repay him handsomely. You don't need to go through all these detours to plead for him!"

"How will you repay him?" Qilin asked. "By marrying him?"

"That's also an option!" Lena puffed out her chest, not blushing at all.

"Shameless!" Qilin glanced at Lena and said grumpily.

Wei Zitong was roped into being a porter, and one who had to pay out of pocket instead of getting paid, making him extremely depressed...

There was no other way. The temptation of Lena going easy on him was too great. Seeing the envious and jealous looks from the boys, he had wanted to pull a few of them to share the burden, but he was sternly rejected by the three girls. Especially Lena, who had no good feelings for those scoundrels who took advantage of her during the summoning class!

Thus, a scene unfolded with three beauties and one handsome man walking side-by-side. The handsome man seemed to be under immense pressure, carrying bags and packages, even with a bag hanging from a long strap around his neck.

As if deliberately trying to make Wei Zitong bleed dry, Du Qiangwei, who took the initiative to lead Lena shopping, chose only expensive stores, not the right ones. Wei Zitong felt his heart bleeding!

As a shareholder of a multinational company, although he was wealthy, Wei Zitong's soul was essentially that of a pauper. It had taken him a long time to decide to buy that sports car worth millions, only to have it destroyed by Ge Xiaolun's shout of "Silence" after just one day!

Du Qiangwei chose stores that started from tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands for world-renowned brands. While these amounts might not seem as significant as the sports car, Lena found everything novel and wanted to buy any nice clothes she saw. By the end, Wei Zitong had to rent a trolley to carry the goods!

As an alien, Lena had no concept of money. She just kept buying and buying, leaving all other matters to Wei Zitong to resolve. During this time, she also encouraged Du Qiangwei and Qilin to buy a lot of clothes.

Du Qiangwei, naturally, didn't hold back. This woman had incredibly sharp taste. Lena bought whatever looked pretty without regard for the price, while Du Qiangwei immediately spotted a seemingly simple but actually sky-high priced dress and skirt set. Her single purchase cost more than the total of dozens of items Lena had bought!

Wei Zitong watched, his heart aching, while the female sales assistant's heart bloomed with joy!

This dress and skirt, not overly flashy but extremely finely crafted, was finally sold!

Although Qilin couldn't refuse Lena, this girl had a truly beautiful heart. After carefully selecting, she ended up choosing the cheapest one, which almost brought tears to Wei Zitong's eyes...

By the time it was time to pay for Du Qiangwei's items, Wei Zitong's fifth credit card had been completely maxed out. He patted his pockets and sadly discovered he only had one debit card left!

So, he glanced at the ridiculously expensive dress, looked at the female clerk with extremely sincere eyes, and said, "This dress isn't very nice, can you make it cheaper?"

The female clerk, seeing the three beautiful women buy so many clothes and this handsome guy already paying, patiently explained with a smile, "I'm sorry, sir, this dress is from a famous French..."

"Don't be so expensive!" Wei Zitong stared intently into the female clerk's eyes and said, word by word.

The female clerk felt struck by lightning, her mind buzzing. After a moment, she looked at Wei Zitong as if she were infatuated, saying blankly, "Okay, sir, I'll give you a 50% discount..."

"OK!" Wei Zitong happily took out his last debit card and paid.

"Wow! Your ability is so amazing! So magical!" Lena, who had been watching from the side, exclaimed in surprise, clapping her hands repeatedly.

"Let's go! The effect won't last much longer!" Wei Zitong smirked and grabbed the shopping cart, then ran outside.

"Hmph, stingy!" Du Qiangwei snorted coldly, pulling Lena and Qilin along as they quickly followed.
