Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 238 Theme Competition: Breaking Free (7)

The week of studying (and doing zuo lao) ended quickly, and everyone could go home for the weekend on Friday night.

Gu Shijiu has been doing relatively well lately; at least no one has bothered her anymore.

Her classmates also thought it was good.

After a few days of getting to know each other, everyone realized that Gu Shijiu hadn't suddenly turned into a violent maniac who would beat up anyone he saw.

Aside from staring blankly at the teacher and textbooks, she rarely speaks.

At first, she would take notes, but after three days she stopped taking notes altogether. Nothing could attract her attention except for eating and sleeping.

Seeing that everyone else had left the school, Gu Shijiu excitedly picked up her sun-facing shoulder bag and headed out as well.

Because she discovered something terrifying: Xiangyang was penniless, and she was almost out of money for food!

Thinking of this, Gu Shijiu's fragile heart almost choked; she had to find a way to make money.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out of the school gate, I was stopped by the girl who had wiped her face on the table earlier.

Gu Shijiu stood there, stunned. She didn't recognize who this person was.

The main problem is that when the girl caused trouble before, she was wearing heavy makeup, so you couldn't see her features at all. She hasn't dared to wear makeup these past few days while recovering from her injury.

The girl spoke arrogantly, her nostrils flaring: "Xiangyang, you only dare to bully me, do you dare to go see my brother?"

So they came looking for a place to hold a fight over the weekend.

After being beaten up, the girl exaggerated the incident to her gangster brother, who is now leading a group of people to block the school in an alley.

Gu Shijiu became excited upon hearing this: "Take me there quickly!"

It's like her wish came true; someone wants to beat her up, so she'll have to pay compensation.

The girl's facial muscles twitched slightly. Heh, she dared to be so arrogant just because she could fight. She'd get what's coming to her later.

Her brother was nothing like the other kids at school; he was a real gangster boss.

The girl had already told her brother about how Gu Shijiu had beaten up her classmate, but her brother didn't care at all and didn't take it seriously.

Gu Shijiu followed the girl into a small alley, where a group of punks with iron bars were gathered.

The one leading the group was the girl's brother, with hair dyed in red, yellow, and green.

Gu Shijiu was taken aback: "This parrot has probably become a spirit."

The live stream was filled with clarifications.

"Don't believe it, our parrots don't have such inferior colors in their feathers."

"The parrot's reputation has been ruined. Have you never seen a real parrot spirit? We suggest you come and visit our family."

“I heard your scheme all over the Nine Provinces.”

......

Gu Shijiu was unaware that her fame had already spread to the largest section of the Misty Immortal Realm.

Before Cai Mao Gege could even get angry, Gu Shijiu decided to strike first: "Are you going to hit me? Hand over the compensation."

The repetitive procedures can be quite tedious.

She plans to skip the part where the other party takes action and then retaliates, and directly ask for money.

The punks in the alley started shouting: "This little girl doesn't know her place. Today I'll show you who you shouldn't mess with."

"That's right, bullying the boss's sister, do you have a death wish?"

"Boss, teach her a lesson and make her kowtow and apologize to our sister."

......

The alley was quiet.

The houses in the vicinity are all old, dilapidated bungalows, and most of them are occupied by tenants.

Because he was afraid of getting into trouble, he would pretend not to hear when he heard someone arranging a fight.

However, this area was unusually quiet today. After a few faint sounds were heard, they stopped within minutes.

Gu Shijiu leaned against the wall, counting the money in her hand. In front of her, a row of thugs with faces that were more colored than their hair were kneeling on the ground, and behind them stood a girl who was trembling.

The girl didn't want to run away, but her brother was still kneeling on the ground.

Gu Shijiu counted the money, her face growing increasingly pale. "Is this all? Is it enough for next week's food expenses?"

This compensation isn't enough. She looked at the colorful-haired brother with a calculating gaze that sent chills down one's spine.

Suddenly, Cai Mao had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "I know where they've hidden all their money!"

Gu Shijiu's eyes lit up immediately, and she stuffed the little money she had into her pocket: "Where is it?"

Brother Cai Mao quickly got up from the ground and walked deeper into the alley.

The henchmen were still kneeling on the ground, looking at each other, not daring to utter a sound, but secretly groaning in their hearts.

Brother Cai Mao first led Gu Shijiu to an abandoned courtyard at the end of the alley.

He walked to the corner of the wall, squatted down, and rummaged through a pile of weeds.

Then he forcefully moved a loose brick, revealing a small hole, and pulled out a dirty box from it.

Upon opening it, I found some loose cash scattered inside.

Even the gaps in the drainpipes were not spared; they contained some money and a few small pieces of jewelry.

They also had some money on them, which was naturally all taken.

Gu Shijiu finally smiled with satisfaction, counting the money with a beaming smile: "Hmm, that's more like it. What's your name?"

"What a talent!" she exclaimed, patting her colorful-haired brother's shoulder forcefully.

The boy with the colorful hair grimaced in pain but dared not utter a sound. He covered the wound on his face and barely managed to answer, "My name is Chen Da."

He then pointed to the girl hiding in the corner, trying to make herself inconspicuous: "This is my sister, Chen Shan."

Gu Shijiu looked at Chen Shan, nodded, and indicated that he would remember it and would ask the brother and sister for money in the future.

Chen Shan was so moved that she almost cried: "Why did you introduce me? I don't want this woman to know me at all, thank you."

Seeing that Gu Shijiu hadn't understood him and was about to turn and leave, Chen Da called out to her repeatedly, "Please wait a moment."

"Is there anything else?" Gu Shijiu turned around suspiciously, wondering if they still wanted to fight.

"Boss, we want to follow you from now on!" Chen Da said hurriedly.

The henchmen following behind and Chen Shan: No, we don't want to. We might get beaten to death by this woman before we even die at someone else's hands.

Gu Shijiu was reluctant. She had been a bandit leader in several worlds, and in this world, she wanted to be a law-abiding citizen.

Chen Da, an ambitious hoodlum, always wanted to make a name for himself, but his abilities were limited.

He got a severe beating today, and he realized that this might be the biggest opportunity he could ever have.

This person is ruthless and has a bright future. If we can get on her good side, how can we not make our gangster business flourish?

Chen Da may be born to navigate the underworld; he may not understand the knowledge in books, but he can read Gu Shijiu's expression.

So he earnestly promised, "From now on, all the money we earn will belong to the boss!"

Gu Shijiu suddenly felt she had lost her reason to refuse: "Deal."

Chen Da was very excited. He immediately paid his respects to the gang leader and even made an appointment to cause trouble for other thugs. Only then did he leave with a reluctant Chen Shan and a group of his underlings.
