Chapter 4: Mom, Send Money!

Su Yu, following the memories in her mind, skillfully opened WeChat on her phone.

She tapped on the avatar of the first pinned contact, whose nickname was “Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor” and whose avatar was a blooming peony flower. Su Yu skillfully typed out a message.

[Su Xiaoyu]: Mom, send money!

For Su Yu, who didn’t have a stable job yet, the best way to legally get money was, naturally, to ask her mom, who managed the family’s finances.

Now, her identity was that of a student, so asking her family for money seemed perfectly natural to her.

[Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor]: Did your account get hacked?

[Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor]: I just gave you this month’s living allowance less than ten days ago, and you’re out of money again?

[Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor]: By the way, Xiaoyu, you should really reconsider. Going to a martial arts university is a much better choice for your life.

[Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor]: After graduating from a martial arts university, even if you’re just a 3rd-stage martial artist, you can just get your name on the roster of any company and live without worries about food or clothing. Plus, your social status will be much higher than an ordinary person’s.

[Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor]: If you go to an arts university, even if you graduate, and even if you become a big star because of your beauty, in the eyes of those martial artists, you’re still not in the same league, and you’ll still be looked down upon by martial artist families.

[Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor]: In this world, getting into a martial arts university is the best way forward, not to mention you have such great talent for martial arts, you might have even greater achievements in the future.

[Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor]: Besides, the world isn’t peaceful these days.

[Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor]: Two years ago, there were over fifty countries in the Divine Land Region. After two years of war, several countries have already been destroyed.

[Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor]: Against the backdrop of martial artist warfare, the aberrant beasts in the deep mountains and old forests are left unchallenged and have begun to frequently harass the agricultural zones on the edges of human base cities.

[Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor]: The Zhaoge Kingdom is still relatively peaceful, but no one knows what the future holds. As a girl, it’s safer for you to have the strength to protect yourself.

In Su Yu’s memory, she had long been familiar with this lifetime’s mother’s long-winded speeches.

But experiencing it for real, she still couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

[Su Xiaoyu]: Ah, I know.

[Su Xiaoyu]: How about we talk about the money thing first?

Su Yu naturally knew her mother’s good intentions. Just as her mother had said, it was all the honest truth.

In this world, the status of martial artists was transcendent!

Furthermore, the Divine Land Region was no longer a unified empire as it once was, but was divided into many nations.

The more chaotic the times, the more revered martial artists became, while artistic performances like singing, dancing, and music seemed all the more useless.

For the original owner, who possessed excellent martial arts talent, to give up on a martial arts university and instead prepare to apply to an arts university was, in terms of her past life, like being able to get into Tsinghua but choosing to learn how to operate an excavator instead.

The gap was even bigger than that!

So, it was no wonder her mother was so anxious and said so much to her.

Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor: Besides, practicing martial arts can strengthen your body. You’ll even get sick less often than ordinary people. After entering a martial arts university, it will be easier to find a martial artist husband in the future.

Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor: What? Are you shy?

‘Shy my as*!’

How could she possibly marry someone?

In the future, she was going to become a generation’s Valkyrie, roaming this world.

She simply couldn’t imagine herself as a married woman.

Su Xiaoyu: Mom, let’s talk business first. Give me 12,000 yuan. Just consider it a loan, I’ll pay you back in the future.

Flowers Blossom for Wealth and Honor: You’re still just a kid, why would you need so much money? Don’t get scammed, there’s a lot of telecom fraud recently.

‘She was already 17, almost an adult, not a child!’

“♪♫♩♪Daling-daling…”

A familiar ringtone sounded; the call was from her mother.

“Did you borrow money from someone? I saw on the news, those loan sharks, they specifically target students like you who haven’t entered society yet.” Over the phone, Su Yu’s mother’s voice was a little frantic.

“If it was just about the money, it would be one thing, but some criminals specifically use student loans as a pretense to scam female students…”

“Mom! No.” Su Yu roughly knew what her mother was about to say and quickly cut her off.

“It’s like this, I’ve thought it through. I’m going to apply to a martial arts university!” Su Yu said, abruptly changing the subject.

“Really?” Su Yu’s mother’s previously tense tone began to turn excited.

She had tried everything to persuade her daughter to give up on the idea of applying to an arts university, and now, after just one night, her daughter had come around!

Could it be that her words had finally struck a chord in her daughter’s heart?

“However, I won’t completely give up my hobby, so I want to buy some equipment to do live streams, to stream my dancing. Of course, I will also become a true martial artist,” Su Yu laid all her cards on the table.

Listening to her daughter’s voice on the phone, Su Yu’s mother felt that something was not quite right.

Had her daughter had a change of heart?

Before, no matter how much she tried to persuade her, she wouldn’t listen. This child had been like this since she was young…

Incredibly stubborn!

According to her middle school homeroom teacher, this child, Su Yu, was even more unruly than the most mischievous boys in school.

Because her academic grades were too poor, combined with skipping class to fight, sleeping in class, and not doing her homework properly, her parents were called to the school every few days…

She was also frequently the subject of complaints from other students’ parents, who said she was bullying their children.

Fortunately, according to the homeroom teacher, the children Su Yu bullied had also thrown punches, and it was often many of them against Su Yu alone, but they were still beaten up by Su Yu all by herself…

This astonishing fighting ability led to her parents discovering Su Yu’s special talent, “Monstrous Strength.”

It made them hope even more that Su Yu would walk the path of a martial artist.

Based on Su Yu’s previous track record of misdeeds, Su Yu’s mother hesitated in her heart. Could it be that Xiaoyu was tricking her, tricking her for her money, and that Xiaoyu actually had no intention of applying to a martial arts university?

Besides, her daughter had a “prior conviction.”

Just a month ago, Xiaoyu had suddenly said she wanted to move out and live alone.

Su Yu’s mother naturally disagreed.

But when Xiaoyu said that if she agreed to let her move out, she would be willing to apply to a martial arts university, Su Yu’s mother began to hesitate.

It wasn’t until Su Yu came up with a reason, saying that she was renting a place so she wouldn’t have to live in the dorms later, and that’s why she was planning to rent a place near Zhaoge University.

Only then did Su Ma believe Su Yu’s story…

As a result, as soon as she helped Xiaoyu find a place, paid three months’ rent, and signed the contract, Xiaoyu immediately went back on her word, still unwilling to apply to a martial arts university.

Once the rent was paid, the landlord naturally wouldn’t give a refund, so they could only let the matter drop. She had been tricked by her own daughter once again.

Thinking of this, Su Yu’s mother said, “I don’t believe you. You’re definitely trying to trick me.”

“Mom, you don’t even believe your own daughter anymore?” Su Yu said, pretending to be pitiful.

After integrating the original Su Yu’s memories, everything that had happened between her and her mother felt as if she had truly experienced it herself, making it easy to slip into the role and naturally treat her as her own mother.

“Hmph, I have a very good memory. You just used the same trick to get more than ten thousand yuan from me for rent,” Su Yu’s mother said resentfully.

Su Yu recalled the incident in her mind.

“Sigh…”

She sighed inwardly.

What a mess!

The original owner really was a problem child…

“How about I put it in writing?” Su Yu asked tentatively.
