Sigma Saga

Seeing Xiao Qicai's stunned expression, Xuan Chen waved at the burly men. "Why aren't you greeting your new boss? From now on, she'll be the one paying your salaries!" The curly-haired leader immediately understood. Raising his hand, he called out, "Brothers, follow my lead—Wif..." Fortunately, Xuan Chen stepped on his foot just in time. The man quickly corrected himself, "Boss!" The other burly men echoed in unison, and Xuan Chen finally relaxed. Recruiting these workers hadn't been easy—most were reluctant to work under a young girl. He'd had to drop hints that their leader had special feelings for her, suggesting she might become their future madam. This "early allegiance" tactic had finally convinced fifty "clever" workers to sign up. But he couldn't say this outright, knowing Xiao Qicai would be furious if she found out. The thunderous greeting made Xiao Qicai's ears ring. She turned to 002 in confusion....

"Didn't you know? The passing score for our actuary program is 50 points?" Seeing Xiao Qicai's astonished expression, Teacher Wen couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry. "No wonder you looked so dejected after the exam—I thought you were disappointed with your score. Actually, it's quite impressive! Over the past decade, only about 10 students across all 46 elite academies have passed this exam. Scoring 9 points above the threshold is remarkable, so don't underestimate yourself!" 50 points! Just 50 points! Xiao Qicai was stunned. She blamed herself for not researching the program's admission criteria beforehand, only knowing that each department determined enrollment based on ranking. She had assumed the cutoff for the 46 elite academies would be at least 70 or 80 points. After all, when she was admitted to the law program previously, she had scored above 90 in both practical and theoretical components. Who would have thought the most challe...

 Changing identities felt like a form of liberation for Xiao Qicai—at least it allowed her to temporarily escape the resentment tied to Bai Yushan's past. Of course, gains came with losses. Shedding Bai Yushan's identity meant she could no longer use any of her previous records, including her secondary school diploma or the law program admission letter she had received from the prestigious No. 46 Advanced Academy. Even the government-subsidized housing registered under Bai Yushan’s name was no longer available—though, to be fair, the lease had already expired. Xiao Qicai’s account now held a mere 200 star coins, but she wasn’t worried. Instead, she set her sights on another program at No. 46 Advanced Academy: actuarial science. It was the only major that didn’t require prior academic credentials—just passing the entrance exam. And right now, it was her only viable option. Across the entire United Government’s higher education system, this major enrolled very few students each y...

 Little did they know, after leaving Xiao Qicai's side, Xuan Chen also wiped away a cold sweat. "Are people from Class B planets all this formidable? At such a young age, her logical thinking is downright terrifying. After talking for so long, it felt like facing a cunning old fox. She doesn’t seem like a teenager at all. If we can’t bring her to our side in the future, she can’t be allowed to remain." "That’s about right." Xi Yuanche nodded. "Does the boss have any intention of recruiting her? Though she was exiled here, she’s a clean slate with no background stains. If the boss really wants to legitimize our operations, she might be the perfect catalyst. Why not use this opportunity to test her abilities? Judging by the cost of the beauty potion she mentioned, producing it can’t be cheap. On a Class D planet, most people definitely can’t afford it. If she can actually establish a sales network and make money from that potion, it’ll prove this girl has rea...

It seemed his subordinate had misunderstood something. But now wasn’t the time for explanations. He could only darken his expression and take two steps back, putting more distance between himself and Xiao Qicai. “It’s true—you didn’t lie to me. My face has become identical to Ah Li’s!” Xi Yuanze spoke through gritted teeth. “But you know I didn’t come here today for the beauty potion. I’m here to demand the reward you and Xuan Chen mentioned before. What did you mean when you said there was another way for me to see Ah Li?” A potion that could alter one’s appearance was already a miracle in itself. And yet, this girl, exiled to Planet 4628, seemed to be a vessel of miracles. He had tried every method imaginable—even resorting to superstitious beliefs and consulting mystics—but to no avail. Yet Xiao Qicai’s potion had achieved the impossible. Now, he had no choice but to press forward. Ah Li’s face—his own face now mirroring hers—filled him with fury. But every time his anger flared, th...

Using the annulment agreement, Xiao Qicai boldly obtained 100 million, but due to the hellish start of her situation, she could only temporarily hire a big shot, nearly exhausting the entire sum. She originally thought she could make a fortune with her beauty potion and secure her first bucket of gold. But now, it seemed making money was still difficult. Money, money—what a wonderful thing. It could even buy citizenship status. Whatever. She’d worry about it later. For now, she had to focus on enrolling in school. She’d take this as a lesson—a lesson about her ignorance of this world’s rules. From this perspective, studying was absolutely necessary. It had to be said, Xiao Qicai’s mentality was something ordinary people could hardly match. No matter how many difficulties she encountered, she could quickly adjust. While preparing other enrollment materials, she studied even harder on the virtual network. At the same time, she gritted her teeth and bought ingredient after ingredient for ...
