I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 4
I’m done, I’m done, I’m done!
Offline author gathering!
Offline!
I have to attend an offline author gathering in my current appearance as a little girl?!
?Tiger, what are the chances of getting our unpaid fees this time??
?Around 60%, I’m quite familiar with a chief editor, and he said the website was closed due to a broken funding chain, but if it’s just the fees for about ten to twenty authors, the owner can still manage to pay. But we need to act quickly, we have to get to Shenzhen tomorrow?
?Don’t make a fuss about this matter, many authors are owed fees. Keep it simple, if a lot of people swarm there, it will be troublesome?
?Big brother is a local in Shenzhen, he should be familiar with the situation there, and the company of the boss is registered in his area?
?Yes, so we must have Big Brother for this operation?
“…”
As I watched the messages flooding up on the screen in the “Yae-Do Author Rights” group, I felt somewhat overwhelmed.
Right now, I don’t even have a suitable outfit for a little girl, and you want me to go out…
I closed the computer screen with a “click” and used the reflection to examine my current appearance.
As expected, a very cute little girl.
Big, watery eyes, a delicate little nose, a chubby little face, eyelashes fluttering like little butterflies, and smooth, unbelievably flawless skin. Even with the significant difference in image clarity between the computer screen and the mirror, I could still clearly see my current appearance.
In simple terms, I looked like one of those adorable lolis from 2D anime that everyone would want to hold in their arms when they see them.
I was only wearing an oversized T-shirt that was completely inappropriate, with one shoulder exposed, and my big eyes had a somewhat pitiful and defiant expression. I had a strand of hair sticking up, and my long hair naturally hung down over the computer chair. If there were any creepy uncles nearby, I might not be safe…
“Gurgle…”
At this moment, I faintly heard a strange sound coming from my stomach, and a feeling of hunger quickly surged.
Ah… right, since this body was created by that Grim Reaper, she had no reason to put food in my belly.
In other words, I must be in a completely empty stomach state right now.
I’m not sure if it’s because a little girl’s body can’t handle hunger, but I almost felt dizzy when I heard the gurgling sound from my stomach, and my body felt a bit weaker.
Alright, alright, it’s time to eat.
With no other option, I hopped off the computer chair and headed to the bedroom.
The apartment I was currently living in belonged to the “modern” type of rental, different from regular private rentals. It had its own app for rent payments, utilities, and maintenance. The landlord didn’t typically visit to collect rent personally. As long as you paid the rent on the app by the 1st of the month, you were fine. If you fell behind on payments for three days, the app would automatically cut off your water and electricity. Water and electricity meters were linked directly to this app, allowing you to recharge as needed.
This type of apartment had one benefit: it made it difficult for situations like mine to be discovered. If I found the time to inform the property manager that my “sister” would be staying here for a few days, I could come and go with my key card without raising any suspicion.
The major problem now was the mismatch between my current body and my old identity information. I had no ID card, and if my true identity was exposed, I’d be in big trouble. I could only rely on my old phone, bank card, and other information for daily life.
“I wonder if I can still eat some of the snacks I bought in the past…”
Upon arriving in the bedroom, I opened a box of food near the bed and started rummaging through it.
This apartment was configured as a standard “one-bedroom” layout within the complex. Upon entering from the front door, there was a living room, and to the right, there was a connected kitchen and bathroom. The bedroom was on the right-hand side, and while the space was quite small, it was more than sufficient for one person and provided a quiet living environment.
There was a time in the past when my company had good profits, and they provided us low-level employees with supermarket gift cards. During that period, I had bought a lot of snacks and cookies, which I stored in a large food box placed near my bed. If I overslept in the mornings, I could conveniently grab a few cookies or snacks from this box to curb my hunger.
If I remembered correctly, there should still be some items in there that I hadn’t eaten.
Got it!
After rummaging for a while, I finally found two packets of crispy snacks in this box filled with various types of rice, including white, black, and brown rice.
Now, let’s check the production date… Is it still good? It’s just past the end of April, so it’s only been two days since the expiration date.
I hesitated for quite a while as I looked at the expiry date and production date on the crispy snacks. In the end, I abandoned my plan to eat expired food. Even though my soul was that of a middle-aged man, my current body was unmistakably that of a little girl. Getting a stomachache from eating expired food wouldn’t be worth it.
It was now close to noon, so it seemed like the right time to make lunch. With a light sigh, I took a bag of rice from the box and headed to the kitchen in the living room.
Cooking is a life skill that every poor middle-aged man must know. From graduating college until now, I’ve been mostly cooking and eating by myself.
Wait, is this stove so high?
Holding a bag of rice, I stood in front of the induction cooker in my oversized slippers and tried to reach out with my little hand to touch the buttons.
A “beep” sounded, and the induction cooker powered on.
No, doing all the cooking while tiptoeing like this would be exhausting.
I looked left and right and found a small stool that I placed in front of the stove, then climbed up.
I briefly washed the rice, placed it in the rice cooker, set the time, and then went to the fridge, opening the door.
No meat left…
After rummaging around in the fridge for a while, I only found two tomatoes and a cucumber. I looked at my loosely fitting clothes and took out the tomatoes and cucumber. I went to the sink, washed these two vegetables, and began making a simple tomato stir-fry with cucumber. After that, I’d make tomato scrambled eggs.
It seems like I need to prioritize solving the clothing issue.
While washing the vegetables, I quietly started making plans in my mind.
Whether it’s the author’s offline gathering tomorrow afternoon or all my future actions, shoes, socks, and clothes are all essential.
Not to mention, I have to go out to buy groceries.
That smelly god of death only gave me three days to solve the rent and daily expenses issue, and the rent requires a whopping 850 yuan. With my current capabilities, earning 850 in three days is clearly impossible. The only solution is to retrieve my last month’s earnings, including both the base pay and bonuses.
If I’m not mistaken, my income from that website last month should be around a thousand yuan. After paying the rent, there should still be a few hundred yuan left for food.
So… I must attend the author’s offline gathering tomorrow, I must get back my earnings.
Therefore, relatively speaking, I need to resolve the clothing issue before that.
“…”
So how can I buy suitable clothes without going out?
