1970s: I Have an Inter-dimensional Trading System

Graduate student Xia Qingqing was on her way back to school after a job interview when she was struck and killed by an object from beyond the skies, transmigrating to the food and water-scarce 1970...

Chapter 4 The First Plane

Xia Qingqing looked at Song Ze in shock: "You're really willing to give me the rabbit?"

"Don't you want it?" Song Ze asked with a smile.

"Of course I want it, but you caught the rabbit, so I can't take it," Xia Qingqing said, her face showing a conflicted expression.

Song Ze looked at Xia Qingqing in surprise: "Really don't want to?"

Xia Qingqing shook her head firmly. The other party had just saved her a few days ago; how could she possibly accept the rabbit that the other party had caught?

Song Ze didn't force her. Seeing that she really didn't want it, he took the rabbit and left.

Xia Qingqing watched Song Ze's retreating figure with lingering reluctance until he could no longer see him. Waaah, her braised rabbit meat...

"Sister, should we keep looking for wild eggs?" Gou Dan tugged at Xia Qingqing's sleeve and asked.

Xia Qingqing tossed aside the weeds in her hand, clapped her hands, and said, "Let's stop looking and go dig for wild vegetables."

Digging for wild vegetables was indeed much easier than finding wild eggs. Led by Gou Dan, the two dug up half a basket of wild vegetables, not including the portion that Xia Qingqing had smuggled into the system's warehouse.

"That's enough. This is enough for several meals. Sister, let's go back." Gou Dan lifted the basket on his back, feeling the weight inside, and tried to stop Xia Qingqing, who was addicted to digging for wild vegetables.

Xia Qingqing was so engrossed in the joy of digging for wild vegetables that she didn't even look up: "After I finish digging this patch, look how tender these wild vegetables are. It would be a shame not to dig them up."

Gou Dan secretly glanced at Xia Qingqing. He remembered that his sister used to dislike eating wild vegetables. Could it be that she really damaged her brain?

Xia Qingqing turned her back and carefully put some of the wild vegetables into the system space before straightening up and pointing to the wild vegetables on the ground, saying, "Gou Dan, pack these wild vegetables and go home."

After saying that, Xia Qingqing took the lead and walked down the mountain. Gou Dan quickly put on his basket and followed: "Sister, walk slowly, be careful not to fall."

After returning home, Xia Qingqing went to the kitchen to fetch water and wash her hands, cleaning off the mud she had gotten from digging for wild vegetables. She then told Gou Dan to play by himself in the yard.

He turned around and went into his small room, making sure to lock the door behind him as a precaution.

She eagerly opened the system panel and was pleasantly surprised to find that her friend match had been approved.

You have successfully added "Gu Yunshu" as a friend in the post-apocalyptic world. You and "Gu Yunshu" can now start chatting and trading.

Xia Qingqing opened her friends list and, sure enough, saw Gu Yunshu's name. Then, she was surprised to find that there were several unread messages.

Gu Yunshu: [Hello]

Gu Yunshu: [Do you have any food or water here? I can trade you gold.]

Gu Yunshu: [Please reply to this message if you see it]

Seeing the other party's anxious tone, Xia Qingqing didn't hesitate and immediately initiated a video call.

The video call connected quickly, and a short-haired girl appeared on the virtual screen, looking to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

"Hello," Gu Yunshu greeted Xia Qingqing excitedly.

Xia Qingqing's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the girl's face clearly. What a cool young lady!

"Hello, sister," Xia Qingqing replied to Gu Yunshu with a sweet smile.

Xia Qingqing is younger than Gu Yunshu in both her past and present lives, so she feels no pressure calling her "older sister."

Gu Yunshu looked at Xia Qingqing, who was smiling happily at her. The little girl was petite and lovely, and her innocent and clear almond-shaped eyes could melt anyone's heart.

She tried to soften her expression so as not to frighten the cute little girl: "Little sister, do you have any clean food and drinking water here?"

Upon hearing this question, Xia Qingqing honestly replied, "Yes, there is. You don't even have water in your post-apocalyptic world?"

At this moment, Xia Qingqing was truly grateful that she had transmigrated to the 1970s. If she had gone to the apocalypse, she would have been dead in no time.

Gu Yunshu licked her chapped lips, not minding Xia Qingqing's trouble, and patiently answered her questions:

"Yes, since the end of the world, all the water resources on Earth have been polluted. Apart from those with water-based and ice-based abilities, it is extremely difficult for others to obtain potable water."

Upon hearing about superpowers, Xia Qingqing's eyes lit up: "Sister, what's your superpower? Does everyone have superpowers?"

Gu Yunshu felt that superpowers couldn't be explained in just a few words, so she simply demonstrated it to Xia Qingqing. She flipped her palm upwards, and a fireball immediately appeared in her palm.

"Like this, I can use fire-type abilities to condense fireballs, water-type abilities to generate water, and ice-type abilities to condense ice."

Because Gu Yunshu's superpower is fire-based, her body temperature is higher than that of ordinary people, and she also has a greater need for water.

"Wow, this is amazing!" Xia Qingqing was so excited when she saw Gu Yunshu actually conjure a fireball that she didn't even want to blink. She had to admit, this superpower was incredibly cool.

Although the novels she read had some superpowers, the feeling of reading about superpowers and seeing them in person is still different.

Gu Yunshu felt a little embarrassed by her little look and casually extinguished the fireball: "Well, it wasn't that powerful."

Xia Qingqing suddenly remembered something, got up from the bed, walked to the table in a few steps, and directly sent the pot of cold boiled water to Gu Yunshu through the system panel: "Sister, drink some water first, I see your lips are all chapped."

Her actions successfully won Gu Yunshu's favor.

Gu Yunshu looked at Xia Qingqing gratefully and said, "Thank you, little sister."

Xia Qingqing chuckled and said, "You're welcome. You can call me Qingqing, sister."

"Okay, Qingqing," Gu Yunshu's voice was somewhat androgynous, even a little magnetic. Xia Qingqing felt that her name sounded especially nice coming from her mouth.

Gu Yunshu was indeed very thirsty, and disregarding her composure, she took out the pot of water that Xia Qingqing had sent her from the system and gulped down several mouthfuls.

"This feels so good!" Gu Yunshu didn't know how long it had been since she had drunk water so heartily. Every time she finished a mission, she would get very little food and water, barely enough to maintain her bodily functions.

After satisfying her own physical needs, Gu Yunshu realized that she hadn't given Xia Qingqing anything yet.

He immediately took out the gold necklace he had prepared beforehand from his pocket and sent it to Xia Qingqing.

"Qingqing, here's a gold necklace for you. Gold from your era should be worth something, right?"

Xia Qingqing's eyes lit up as she looked at the thick gold chain: "Great, great, thank you, sister."

She finally discovered the wonder of this otherworldly trading system; exchanging water for a gold necklace was simply amazing.

At this time, although jewelry was not valuable, gold was still a hard currency.

Gu Yunshu's gaze inadvertently swept over Xia Qingqing's patched clothes, the cuffs of which were too short: "Qingqing, are these clothes too small for you? I'll go to the city center to find you some clothes that fit you."

Actually, she has quite a lot of clothes in her room, but they're definitely too big for Xia Qingqing.

Gu Yunshu is 175 cm tall, while Xia Qingqing is about 160 cm tall.
