Jiang Qin knew that at this moment, everyone in the Jiang family was probably cursing her at the hospital, but she no longer cared.
In her previous life, at this point, she had also gone to the hospital.
There, she watched her family repeatedly threaten her for the sake of Jiang Rumeng.
She wanted to explain that she hadn't pushed her down the stairs, but no one was willing to believe her.
They had already made up their minds—having grown up on a barren planet, she must have developed various bad habits.
Lying, stealing, jealousy, malicious intent—these were all labels they had placed on her.
Back in her room, Jiang Qin calmly packed her belongings.
It had only been a month since she returned to the Jiang family, so she didn't have much. Her mother, Jiang Yulian, and her partners each gave her a small gift when they met.
As for her three half-brothers, who didn't accept her, naturally, they gave her no such gifts.
Jiang Rumeng also gave her a necklace with some scratches on it, supposedly a keepsake from her biological mother.
As someone from a barren planet, Jiang Qin had nothing of equivalent value to give in return, so after a brief explanation, she didn't accept it.
This, however, was twisted into her having animosity toward her sister and refusing to accept her gift.
But none of that mattered to her anymore.
Jiang Qin picked up a light bag and left the Jiang family.
Inside were a few items she had brought with her when she left the barren planet.
As for the things that belonged to the Jiang family, she didn't take any of them. She only took a bracelet left behind by her biological father.
Tai Street.
This was the bar street in Langor City.
Unlike the bars on Earth, with their neon lights and indulgent atmosphere, the bars in the starry world were the only places for males without female comfort.
Here, many females who had turned to crime worked, offering large-scale spiritual calming sessions every night.
The people of the starry world were divided into three categories:
The first type was pure-blooded humans without spiritual power, defined as worthless, almost like pets.
Their bodies were weak, and the volatile factors in the air caused them to live sickly lives.
The second type was half-beasts—people with incomplete genes who possessed some animal abilities. Their physical stability was poor, and they rarely lived beyond a hundred years.
In a world where beastmen could live to 300 years old, dying before 100 was considered young.
The third type was fully evolved beastmen.
Both males and females possessed spiritual power. Males could transform into beasts to fight, while females had the ability to calm and purify spiritual energy.
These beings ruled the vast universe.
Living in the starry world seemed to mean no one would die of old age.
Beastmen males—well, except for females with spiritual power—were all affected by a volatile factor in the air.
Once it entered the body, it would settle and, once reaching a certain threshold, would cause the person to lose their rationality, eventually leading to a violent breakdown and death.
The only way to prevent this was by regularly taking inhibitors and having a female soothe their spiritual power.
The drinks sold at the bars were inhibitor-based, mimicking the taste of alcohol. With a female's calming energy, these males could temporarily relieve their symptoms.
Thus, every night, the street would be bustling with activity.
But it was daytime now, and only a few quiet bars were open, making the street peaceful.
Jiang Qin stopped in front of a slightly old bar at the end of the street.
On the light screen at the entrance, there was a job posting:
[Hiring Female Workers, Monthly Salary: 1 Million Star Coins, Requirement: C-Level or Above.]
Females in the starry world were very precious—of course, pure-blooded and half-beast females didn't count. They were merely given some preferential treatment and couldn't be compared to beastwomen.
Because their children had a 90% chance of awakening into pure-blooded humans or half-beasts.
Thus, they could only receive the advantage of the massive gender ratio imbalance, but their social status wasn't high.
As for females with spiritual power, even those at the lowest D-level would never be sentenced to death in the starry world, as long as they weren't guilty of extreme crimes.
The penalties were humane.
The first option was entering a breeding facility, where they would be assigned a male and after giving birth to one or more females or males, they would be pardoned for their crimes.
How many children they had to bear depended on the severity of their crime.
The second option was to work in the military's rear. The duration depended on the crime, but it was usually a long sentence.
The third option allowed for a reduction in sentence time, enabling a quicker pardon. However, it was very dangerous, as the work location was on a barren planet.
The last option was to work at a bar.
This was the only way for a female criminal to stay on their home planet, but the penalty time was also significantly longer.
For example, if the sentence for going to a barren planet was three years, it would at least be eight years if working here.
However, females typically didn't commit crimes, so most bars on each planet had very few females working there.
No female would voluntarily go to such places to provide spiritual soothing.
They were usually high-status and preferred to wait for males to come to them, choosing partners from those who sought them out. They generally wouldn't be willing to soothe those they didn't favor.
Because their spiritual power was limited as well.
The lower the level, the weaker the soothing effect.
The soothing work in bars was already a diluted effect. Even with inhibitors, it didn't do much.
So, D-level females were simply not needed.
C-level females could provide a slight soothing effect, with the higher the level, the better the results.
However, if the female wasn't a criminal, these bars wouldn't even be able to recruit C-levels, let alone higher-level ones.
When Jiang Qin was three years old, she had undergone an awakening, and her spiritual power was exactly at the C-level, which just happened to meet the requirement.
Other females wouldn't care much about the million star coins, but she was thrilled about it!
When living on the barren planet, she had never dared to reveal she was a beastwoman. She had always pretended to be a pure-blooded human male, scavenging for garbage to survive.
Even though she knew she could earn a lot of money, she didn't dare to do so.
The laws and regulations on the barren planet were chaotic. Many of the people there lived day by day.
They were completely unbound by the law.
They couldn't even afford enough food to eat, and their lives were constantly threatened by beasts attacking their cities. Many people might still be alive today, only to disappear tomorrow.
No one cared about such things.
No one would investigate, so dying there was as good as dying in vain.
So even though she had left the Jiang family, she could never return to the barren planet.
If she stayed at the bar to work, not only would she earn money, but she could also obtain the resident status of a secondary-level planet.
This was one of the benefits the Federation encouraged for females working at bars, though the highest status would only be a secondary-level one.
Primary-level status and residence on the main star had other requirements.
Once she made her decision, Jiang Qin no longer hesitated. She took her bag and walked straight into the bar named "Moonlight."
"Hello, I'd like to apply for the position of Soothing Specialist."
