Chapter 103

Someone who’s very very greedy… will get all three carrots.

All in!

While many people were nervously sweating for Shi Jian, inwardly criticizing her for being overly bold—greedy beyond reason, risking that Mr. Rabbit might give her nothing at all or, worse, punish her instead—

Mr. Rabbit unexpectedly called all ten lucky winners to the stage and announced that everyone would get exactly what they wished for.

Those who wanted bronze would get bronze, silver would get silver, and gold—same deal.

Faced with an uproar from the crowd, the humanoid doll-like Mr. Rabbit burst into mad laughter, even his rabbit ears trembling with it.

“Hahaha! I know you all read fables, right? Thought this would be the same, didn’t you?”

He swept his gaze over their stunned, confused faces, clearly thrilled to have tricked the humans again.

“No, no, no! I, Mr. Rabbit, don’t run on grass—don’t try to predict me!”

Everyone instantly recalled the scene at the transfer station, when the gray rabbit on the giant screen violently bit off half of Host Xiao Jin’s head.

Yeah, he definitely doesn’t run on grass.

Streamers, viewers: Don’t try to understand instance rules—you’ll just get played.

Those who picked the bronze carrot only got the bronze carrot. No surprise rewards. Which meant… Shi Jian, who picked all of them, totally hit the jackpot!

All eyes at the scene—and in the livestream chat—fell once again on Shi Jian.

“If I’d known, I would’ve picked them all too!”

“I thought I was clever for picking bronze. Damn.”

“Though this reminds me of that old saying—‘The petty thief is punished; the kingdom thief becomes a lord.’”

So if you’re gonna play—play big.

Shi Jian, struck by the grand prize, was totally thrilled.

She got all the carrots. Pure bliss!

The female streamer Shi Jian had helped was also among the lucky winners. But she’d thought herself clever and only picked the bronze carrot.

Still, she took it well. It was an unexpected gift anyway. Mostly, she was curious. She asked Shi Jian, “Did you know in advance?”

Shi Jian shook her head. “No way to know.” How could she have predicted this?

“Then why did you…” the streamer asked.

Shi Jian replied, “Just in case. Trying doesn’t cost anything.”

Shi Jian’s livestream viewers: There it is! She said the line again!

But our superstar deserves the best. She didn’t even get proper beauty sleep.

Give her all the carrots—it’s only right!

…Shi Jian admitted that there was definitely a bit of gambling in her decision—“What if?”

She hadn’t really thought that far ahead. Mr. Rabbit hadn’t said it was forbidden to choose all three. If it wasn’t allowed, she’d just politely ask if she could choose again.

Shi Jian was very civilized, always open to discussion.

When Mr. Rabbit’s gaze met Shi Jian’s—who was smiling like she’d just won Best Actress and radiating smug confidence—it paused.

Out of all these people, she was the exception.

Mr. Rabbit took the initiative to speak to Shi Jian, acting refined and cultured. “I quite admire you, greedy lady. May I know your name?”

Shi Jian could easily adjust her tone to match the scene.

So if Mr. Rabbit was a gentleman, she would be the most graceful of ladies. She nodded gently.

“Of course.”

“My name is Shi Jian…”

Just when Mr. Rabbit thought that was it, Shi Jian didn’t even pause for breath and rolled out an entire monologue as clearly as if she were performing a tongue twister.

“I’m an entertainer, mainly an actress, though I’ve also crossed over into singing and modeling. In my debut year, I won Best Newcomer and have since received multiple Most Popular Actress awards. I’ve starred as the female lead in over twenty film and television productions... I’m currently a mid-level streamer specializing in horror game instances, with top rankings in every livestream I’ve participated in. Though I’m still mid-tier, I’m confident I’ll be upgraded to top-tier very soon. If you’re interested in me, please follow. Thank you.”

Mr. Rabbit: “…” What the heck was that, and why was it so long?

As she did all this, Shi Jian deliberately turned her more photogenic left side toward the audience, interacting not with Mr. Rabbit, but with her invisible viewers.

Mr. Rabbit was just her prop bunny.

Older viewers noticed that they recognized the beginning part of her intro—but the latter half was completely new.

Shi Jian: That’s right. You haven’t heard it before because I just added it.

Shi Jian felt it had been a while since she properly introduced her profession and achievements. After all, she had worked hard for so many years. It was time for a reminder.

Of course, she wasn’t stuck in the past—she was always growing and updating.

So she continued to update her professional trajectory live.

With glittering neon lights, cheerful music, and a fairy-tale-like background… the entire scene now felt like it had been set up just for Shi Jian’s grand promotional event.

【Follow, follow!】

【We’ve got to witness her rise to top-tier streamer in real time!】

【Already followed!】

【I nearly forgot if not for her reminder!】

Even the other streamers instantly got into the mood.

“So amazing! So powerful!”

They all wanted to follow her too.

After righteously finishing her pitch, Shi Jian finally turned to address her prop bunny, Mr. Rabbit, in the most ladylike tone—though her words were utterly bandit-like.

“Dear Mr. Rabbit, since you admire me… how about giving me a few more carrots?”Shi Jian: Since you admire me, giving me a few more carrots isn’t too much to ask, right?

Now this is what true greed looks like.

Shi Jian was giving it her all.

Shi Jian: If you don’t give me more, then your admiration is fake!

Streamers: Wow!

Could Shi Jian actually score a few more carrots?

…

This time, though, Shi Jian didn’t succeed in robbing anyone.

The humanoid bunny puppet version of Mr. Rabbit stared at Shi Jian for a moment with those red eyes—almost as red as an actual rabbit’s—then pointedly ignored her request.

He bid her farewell.

“Goodbye, greedy lady. I look forward to our next encounter.”

“Of course… that’s if you’re still alive.”

That last line was loaded with meaning, as if he didn’t think she’d live to see that day.

Then, Mr. Rabbit waved to all the streamers.

“The great Mr. Rabbit Li has finished delivering the gifts. Goodbye, everyone.”

With that, he bounced onto the cabbage carriage, and the vehicle rumbled away in a cloud of dust, quickly vanishing from sight.

He had left the Angel Orphanage.

Shi Jian had already moved to a safe zone the moment the dust started to rise. She silently raised her middle finger in the direction Mr. Rabbit disappeared.

He actually ran off?

But her attention quickly shifted from the tight-lipped rabbit to something else—because the carrots they’d received had exploded.

…

No one had known what the gold, silver, or bronze carrots were actually for. It wasn’t until Mr. Rabbit left that the streamers discovered the real gifts were hidden inside the carrots!

The exploding carrots weren’t dangerous. Colorful streamers poured out, along with what Mr. Rabbit had referred to as “big prizes.”

A streamer who got a bronze carrot announced, “Mine had a deluxe snack pack.”

“Same here.”

“Same for me too.”

All the voices saying that were from those who got bronze carrots.

Shi Jian had originally assumed the large carrot—almost half the length of an arm—was the gift itself. She was slightly disappointed to find the golden carrot wasn’t made of actual gold.

If it were, it would’ve been worth quite a bit.

Of course, if the contents inside turned out to be useful, they’d be worth more than gold.Shi Jian checked her bronze carrot—it was snacks too.

A whole box of dried fruits, vegetable-based snacks, mini cakes, and bottled drinks. Looked about the same as what they’d been eating earlier.

Items bought in the leisure instance could be stored in the inventory and taken away, and Shi Jian tested it—turns out the things from inside the carrot could also be stored.

[Snack Gift Pack]

[Snack Gift Pack: made with all-natural fruits and vegetables. The perfect gift for friends and relatives—classy, delicious, and guilt-free.]

Shi Jian: Mm, I’ll give it to Tang Tian.

Although Tang Tian might not be in the mood for vegetables anytime soon, there’s still dried fruit.

After the bronze carrots, the silver ones exploded next.

This time, what everyone received was different—and clearly more practical than what was in the bronze ones!

Most streamers didn’t speak up about it, but viewers in the livestream could see everything.

Anyone watching the stream got to experience it all in real time.

Many of the rewards were rabbit-themed. Someone got a whistle, usable only once—when blown, a cabbage carriage would come pick you up.

Its description read:

[Your soulmate might not arrive riding rainbow clouds in your time of need, but the great Mr. Rabbit will send the cabbage carriage.]

Another person got a skill card that gave them a super jumping ability for 5 minutes.

Shi Jian’s prize was—

[Pregnant With One Glance] Skill Card

Description:

[As is well known, rabbits are extremely prolific breeders. Upon using this card, the target will be afflicted with a "pregnancy" buff—complete with big belly, nausea, and other symptoms, lasting for 30 minutes.]

Also one-time use.

After reading it, Shi Jian muttered, “Isn’t this kind of a rogue skill?”

But—she loved it!

Shi Jian happily tucked it away.

With the way the gift quality was escalating, her expectations for the gold carrot hit their peak. She waited eagerly as it exploded and hurried to examine it.

Inside the gold carrot was… a rabbit headgear.

Shi Jian thought she was seeing things, and flipped it around several times in confusion—nope, that’s really what it was.

[Mr. Rabbit Merchandise]

[Once worn, grants the appearance of Mr. Rabbit’s true form. Duration: 12 hours. During this time, no other skills may be used.]

“……”

Shi Jian involuntarily showed an expression of disdain.

Speechless.

Who the hell wants to turn into Mr. Rabbit?…

Aside from the edible ones, all the items from the carrots only worked while in an instance.

For the past two days, this place had occasionally thrown something nerve-wracking at the streamers. It wasn’t until after the “Drop the Handkerchief” game and Mr. Rabbit’s gift giveaway that it finally felt a bit like a leisure instance.

Shi Jian and the others completed two full days and nights of volunteer work, and on the morning of the third day, a bus arrived to take them away from Angel Orphanage.

The leisure instance had come to an end.

Shi Jian already knew that Tang Tian had successfully obtained her badge as well. The bus stopped exactly where it had dropped them off when they first entered the instance.

Shi Jian spotted Tang Tian on another bus and knocked on the window. “I brought you a gift!”

Tang Tian also leaned on the window and replied, “Tell me when we’re back—”

Before she could even finish her sentence, they both heard that familiar cheerful music again and fell into dizziness.

When Shi Jian regained consciousness, she wanted to tell Tang Tian that she’d have to wait for her at the Transfer Station.

Because Shi Jian had once again entered the Judgment Room.

Ever since she'd managed to score big in the Judgment Room, Shi Jian had been longing to return. Whether it was Fatal Train or Foggy Forest, none of her complaints had worked to trigger it. Who would’ve thought a leisure instance would earn her the achievement?

Shi Jian raised a hand to stop the pixelated man across from her. “Excuse me, please wait a moment.”

Don’t rush to speak yet.

The man silently watched her movements—what was she doing?

Shi Jian pulled a padded seat cover out of her inventory and carefully placed it on the cold metal chair.

“Too cold,”

She explained.

Finding a comfortable position, Shi Jian sat down and instantly looked more radiant.

As expected, this was much better.
