Chapter 138 Qi Cancan’s Rebirth

Chapter 138: Qi Cancan's Rebirth

"Who knew our captain’s wife isn't just brave and resourceful—capable of single-handedly taking down a Level 61 Minotaur—but also incredibly lucky?"

"Exactly! Six rare-grade items from one treasure chest, plus a whole pile of gold coins. This haul is insane. Just one rare-grade item is worth more than my entire net worth."

"No wonder the captain’s wife was so fierce during the fight, chucking Skill Scrolls like they were free. Looks like she got them all from her lucky drops before."

"Damn, our jinxed captain actually snagged such a lucky wife. Was he hiding her from the squad all this time, afraid we’d snatch this treasure away?"

"Honestly, the truly lucky ones are He Yongxin, Yao Hui, and the other eight. Sure, they contributed, but their output was nothing compared to the captain’s wife alone. If she hadn’t been so generous, would they be feasting like this now?"

"If I had luck like that, I’d be generous too. Too bad my luck is absolute trash—just a tiny bit better than our jinxed captain’s."

The members of the Peanut Squad huddled together, whispering among themselves. They watched Zhu Bin, He Yongxin, and the others grinning from ear to ear, their eyes burning with envy. They wished they could turn back time half an hour and join the Minotaur hunt—maybe then they’d have gotten a share of the loot too.

But alas, there were no do-overs in life.

Among the crowd, Qi Cancan listened to their murmurs, her eyes gleaming. Who said turning back time was impossible? Hadn't she just done exactly that?

That’s right—this Qi Cancan was no longer the original Qi Cancan. When she had fainted earlier and woken up, she had been reborn.

In her past life, after the apocalypse, she had thrived in a civilian squad thanks to her decent luck. Just by opening treasure chests for others, she had become a sought-after guest in various small teams. But then she met her fatal attraction—Chu Chengling.

Chu Chengling was handsome, even-tempered, and most importantly, highly respected and powerful. She couldn’t help but fall for a man like that, so even though she knew he was married, she pursued him like a moth to a flame.

Of course, she wasn’t foolish enough to directly confront his wife. Instead, she planned to befriend Jiang Yao first, using her to gain access, then gradually win over Chu Chengling.

At first, she was cautious, and everything seemed to be going well. Although Jiang Yao later began to suspect her intentions, by then, Qi Cancan had already wormed her way into their lives—befriending Chu Chengling’s mother and sister, even moving into the apartment above theirs. Just as the couple started quarreling because of her, and she was about to seize the opportunity, she accidentally contracted a little succubus.

That little succubus became her downfall. Overconfident, she abandoned caution and directly tested Jiang Yao’s loyalty. But Jiang Yao’s love for Chu Chengling was genuine, and instead, Qi Cancan’s schemes were exposed.

That was it. She was immediately kicked out of Chu Chengling’s squad as a suspicious individual with ulterior motives.

Later, in desperation, she decided to go all out—making a full-court press. But Chu Chengling had plenty of other admirers. She battled against "Peach Blossom Number One," "Peach Blossom Number Two," and "Peach Blossom Number Three" for hundreds of rounds, only to end up with all four of them losing, none gaining anything.

And when she looked back? That bastard Chu Chengling had actually grown closer to Jiang Yao because of their interference. All her seduction attempts had been wasted—like casting pearls before swine!

In the end, Chu Chengling was so fed up with her that he ignored her pleas for help, leaving her to die in a monster wave.

The memory of Chu Chengling shielding Jiang Yao as he walked away without a backward glance, while she was trampled to a pulp by the monster horde, made her grind her teeth in hatred.

Her mother was right—love-struck fools never come to a good end. Men were unreliable. The only one you could truly rely on was yourself!

When she first realized she had been reborn into her own body, she had been ecstatic. But soon, she noticed something was off—she hadn’t returned to the time before the apocalypse, nor had she been reborn at some unknown turning point.

Qi Cancan blinked in confusion, completely baffled.

Then, she quietly pricked up her ears, listening to the chatter around her for clues. But the more she heard, the more bewildered she became.

Turns out, "she" was a member of the Peanut Squad.

The Peanut Squad? She had never even heard of them before!

In Qing City, aside from Chu Chengling’s squad and the official organizations, no other squad had ever reached over a thousand members.

Could this be a parallel world?

So Qi Cancan kept listening, and she learned quite a few "achievements" of her parallel self. Damn—even in this world, she had made the same mistake, falling for the squad captain. Handsome, powerful, respected, and married. And just like before, "she" had tried to break up their marriage.

The only two differences were that this team's captain was cold and never gave female members special treatment, unlike Chu Chengling, who was gentle and caring, which had gradually made her fall for him; and this captain's wife was smarter than Jiang Yao, seeing through her intentions at a glance and nearly destroyed her using a little succubus without hesitation.

Now here's the situation—there's one good news and one bad news.

The good news is that she hasn't been kicked out of the team like in her previous life.

The bad news is that she has already revealed her intentions and was punished by the captain's wife, just one step away from being expelled.

Qi Cancan: "......"

She tried to stay calm and begged the person taking care of her to help her follow the crowd to check out the action. Upon learning that their team captain and his wife were fighting a Level 61 Minotaur, she was shocked again—in her past life, rare-level monsters hadn’t appeared before the Frost Period.

Then she saw the true faces of the team captain she "liked" and his wife.

Her eyes widened in shock again, her face filled with disbelief.

She remembered the captain's wife—God, did she remember her. Back when she was chasing Chu Chengling, she moved into the empty apartment above theirs, and the photo of the original owner in that apartment had this exact face.

Because the face was so strikingly beautiful, it was burned into her memory. Later, she also learned that this woman was one of Chu Chengling's admirers who had starved to death in that very apartment, making the memory even more haunting.

Now, seeing that face in person, she recognized her immediately.

Damn—

So in this parallel world, this admirer of Chu Chengling not only didn’t die but was thriving, even married to a man as outstanding as Chu Chengling.

And now, her incredible luck when opening treasure chests was insane.

It made Qi Cancan, who prided herself on her own luck, feel totally outclassed.

"Holy crap, it's an epic-tier item! The little wife just pulled an epic-tier item—"

A loud, excited voice suddenly rang out.

Qi Cancan went rigid with shock. Damn it, this wasn’t just super luck—this was god-tier luck!
