SIAS Chapter 1.2

Yi Qingqing shook her head. A fantasy world? It was estimated to be very dangerous. Only by drawing a better golden finger could he have some hope.

She just wanted to return to a modern world, where she could have enough food and clothing, enjoy life, and die in good health. This was her biggest wish in this life.

“Brother Guizha, can you give me a golden finger? I can sacrifice my soul to you!”

The man begged his guide ghost.

“No, your merits are not enough. Don’t stay here too long. Go directly to the rebirth platform.” Brother Guizha pulled him away with an expressionless face.

Yi Qingqing looked at this man sympathetically. In the fantasy world, without a golden finger, she wondered if he could counterattack!

When it was her turn, she first breathed into the palm of her hand, then rubbed her hands, and then carefully put the wooden card in.

“Ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-dong…”

Light poured into her body, and she instantly understood the world she was going to and her identity.

It was a world derived from books. There was a golden book in her mind called “Bringing the Supermarket Back to the 1970s”.

It told the story of a modern heroine who traveled back to the 1970s with her own supermarket space, went to the mountains countryside, and made a fortune.

The identity she was about to travel through was that of an educated youth female supporting character who went to the countryside in the same batch as the heroine, and her name was also Yi Qingqing.

It was just that there were relatively few descriptions of Yi Qingqing in this book. The descriptions that mention her were all blank as if someone needed to fill them in. There was no predetermined tragic ending.

“Chronology!” Yi Qingqing lamented.

In the 1970s when there was a lack of food and clothing, half of the desire to have food and clothing was shattered first.

“Bless me to get a farm space golden finger, otherwise, the space also will be fine.”

She went to another lottery machine.

“Ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-dong…”

After the same beam of golden light passed by, Yi Qingqing’s face looked slightly bitter. Did Master Yan Jun lie to her? What about the promised wealth? Did the Sign-in System match the era?

“Okay, let’s go to the rebirth platform. If you’re late, you’ll miss the time,” Brother Guizha reminded her.

He had seen too many ghosts who were unhappy with the results of the lottery, so he couldn’t let them think too much. He just needed to send these ghosts to the rebirth platform as soon as possible.

There was a small path behind the lottery machine that led directly to the rebirth platform. There was no need to pass through the Wangchuan River and Naihe Bridge. Ghosts like them who were on the road to rebirth did not need to drink Meng Po soup to disperse their memories.

Although Yi Qingqing felt disappointed, it was not to the point of despair. It was much better than the previous ghost brother who did not have a golden finger to penetrate the fantasy world.

Although she didn’t know what she could get through using the cheat system of the Sign-in System, it was the cheat with the least threshold for use. She could get rewards by signing in, which was a hundred times better than those task systems and strategy systems.

Through these two draws, she felt that her hands might be a bit dark and that the system of relying on luck to win rewards might not suit her temperament.

However, Yi Qingqing was still happy to be able to welcome her new life soon. What about the 1970s when there was a lack of food and clothing?

Having a good body was better than anything else!

She no longer had to stay sick in a hospital bed all the time!

So, she almost couldn’t wait to get on the rebirth platform.

As soon as Guizha sent Yi Qingqing away, he turned around and saw a majestic figure. He immediately bowed his head and saluted, “Master Yan!”

Yan Jun nodded, “Go down.”

The ghost servant obeyed the order and left. After walking for a while, he couldn’t help but be curious. He turned around and glanced at the rebirth platform.

Then, he saw a split soul coming out of Master Yan’s body and jumping into the well of reincarnation. The main body also took out a golden book-shaped world core from the well.

It seemed to be the book world where the female ghost just went, didn’t it?

His mind turned over and over again, feeling that he had discovered Master Yan Jun’s big gossip. He tightened his skin, did not dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly ran to the square.

The Afterlife in Chinese Culture (Part 2)

The Silver and Golden Bridges

The few souls who had led an exemplary and virtuous life on earth did not have to cross the Nàihé bridge. For them were reserved the Golden Bridge (金橋, jīn qiáo) and the Silver Bridge (銀橋, yín qiáo).

The first led to the Pure Land of the West (Xīfāng Jí Lètǔ, 西方極樂土 or Jìngtǔ, 淨土) of Amitabha Buddha (Āmítuófó, 阿彌陀佛). When the spirit of the deceased beheld Amitabha’s face, it gained immediate liberation, entering nirvana.

The silver bridge led to Heaven (Tiān, 天), where the Jade Emperor (Yù Dì, 玉帝) ruled, and the soul that crossed this bridge would become part of the cast of immortals and deities that resided there.

According to some narratives, the three bridges were parallel to each other.

Others offer a vision of the bridge over the Nàihé on three levels: a higher level through which virtuous souls pass and which can be traveled without difficulty; a middle level through which souls who have committed both sins and virtuous actions are to cross, which must be walked with great care because it entails difficulty; and finally a lower level through which evil souls must cross. This lower level is slippery and is riddled with ghosts and copper snakes and iron dogs (銅蛇鐵狗, tóngshé tiěgǒu) pushing the souls trying to cross.

To those who fall into the river, appalling suffering awaits them, and they will never be able to reincarnate again. Faced with this cruel fate, the living burns offerings of paper boats so that these souls have the opportunity to cross the river by boat and reincarnate.

Hello, everyone, this is @Orthez, your lovely translator!

This is my new translation. ٩(＾◡＾)۶  ٩(＾◡＾)۶  ٩(＾◡＾)۶

It still with a 70s period theme.

 

Previously, I released ‘My Dad is the Male Protagonist in a Stepmother-Era Story’, which is also in the 70s theme.

This novel tells the story of an army family in China around the 70s. 

This new translation ‘Signing In At 70s: The Female Supporting Role of Educated Youth Is Pampered by The Boss’ tells the story of a girl who is going to be an educated youth in a village.

I try to find another perspective of China around the 70s for you to enjoy.

 

This new translation is a bit more slice of life. You can read this with peace during your spare time without ‘adding a load’ to your full mind, hehe…

I like this novel because it’s so motivating. I also like the friendship between the characters, especially the friendship between the girls, which reminds me of my youth days and my friends (Oh, I am so old!).

Hopefully, you will like it. ♥️

 

The updated schedule for this novel is on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. But, during promotional time, it will be released every day this week. Next week, it will follow the set schedule.

Promotional Time: May 1st – 5th, 2024
