After Reincarnating in Another World, I'm Drifting

Student An Le was mistakenly captured by the Black Impermanence, forcing her to reincarnate into a poor farming family in another world, equipped with the Seven-Colored Pastoral System given by the...

Chapter 38 A Toy Given by the Gods

An Mancang actually believed An Le's nonsense. After waiting for a short while, An Le ran up to An Mancang with a 3x3 Rubik's Cube in her hands, her eyes crinkling with joy, and proudly showed the cube to An Mancang as if it were a treasure.

"Dad, look, this is it. This is the toy that the gods gave me. This thing is called a Rubik's Cube. I'll show you how to play with it."

An Mancang saw An Le fiddling with a small, colorful cube and then handing it to him.

With great curiosity, An Mancang took the gadget from An Le's hand and tried to move it, just like An Le did. It actually started to twist and turn.

An Mancang's fingers trembled slightly, and his face showed disbelief.

"Le Wazi, is this really something given to you by the gods?" This was the first time he had ever seen something given by the gods.

In the town, he had never heard of anyone receiving anything bestowed by the gods.

"Yes, yes, otherwise how would I have it? I just asked the gods, and they said that since this thing was given to me, it belongs to me and I can do whatever I want with it. We can use it to make money, Father."

An Mancang scratched his head, looking at the Rubik's Cube in his hand with a puzzled expression.

"This thing is used to make money? How can this thing be used to make money?"

Anle smiled mysteriously at Anmancang, took the Rubik's Cube from Anmancang's hand, and started shouting into the street.

"Grandpas, grandmas, uncles and aunties, come and take a look! I have a novel gadget here that can help you make money! Anyone who wants to make money, come and have a look!"

And you know what? Anle's shout really did attract everyone's attention.

Those watching the ring toss game all turned to look at Anle, who stood confidently on the stall, smiling as everyone looked him over.

"Little kid, you just said there's something that can make everyone money, what is it?"

As soon as he heard someone shout out, Anle raised the Rubik's Cube in his hand and smiled at the old man who had spoken.

"Grandpa, the thing I'm talking about that can make money is this thing I'm holding in my hand."

This thing I have here has six colors. As long as I put all six small squares of the same color together to form a face, I can earn money.

If you pay ten coins to piece it together, we'll give you twenty coins; if you pay twenty coins to piece it together, we'll give you fifty coins. The time is the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

Now I'll spell it out once to demonstrate, so everyone keep your eyes peeled and watch carefully!

With a smile, Anle manipulated the scrambled Rubik's Cube in his hand with apparent ease. In just a short while, he pieced together all six colored faces, a sight that made the eyes of everyone watching light up.

Some people, blinded by greed, immediately became excited and their eyes lit up.

"Wow, there's such a way to play? It's much more interesting than guessing riddles! Even those of us who can't read can play!"

"Little brat, do you think you can keep your word? If I really give you twenty coins and you piece this thing together, will you really give me fifty coins?"

"Of course it's true! I keep my word. I'll pay you as long as you can spell it out. Just pay me first, it's the same as solving a word puzzle. Does everyone understand?"

An Mancang's expression changed upon hearing this. This thing was much simpler than a word puzzle; it could be figured out in just a couple of turns. How could this be used to make money? It was a losing proposition!

Just as he was about to stop Anle, he saw Anle smile at An Mancang and say, "Father, you can make a promise to everyone that as long as someone pays money and can piece it together within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, we will pay them."

"Is it true? Don't just let the child say it, you adults should say something too! You didn't bring this kid here to tease us, did you?"

"Yes, yes, your child isn't lying here, is he? Is it true? If it is, I'll go first, I'll pay twenty coins."

"Oh my, this money is so easy to make! Let me go first, let me go first! You adult, don't just stay silent, tell me! Is it true?"

Anle tugged at Anmancang, looking like she had something to say to him. Anmancang picked Anle up and was about to leave when he heard Anle whispering in his ear.

"Dad, listen to me, I'm sure I can earn back all the travel expenses for today."

Seeing the determined look on Anle's little face, An Mancang nodded to everyone as if possessed, and said stiffly, "Really."

As soon as the words left his mouth, An Mancang regretted them. But the excited crowd around him didn't allow him to back out or say it was a lie. They all eagerly grabbed their money bags and rushed forward. Some people had already quickly stuffed twenty coins into An Mancang's hand.

"I'll go first—"

"Let me go first, let me go first. I was the one who asked first."

"Why should you be the one to ask first?"

"I've already paid the money, so of course I'm here first." The big man said, snatching the Rubik's Cube from Anle's hand and starting to spin it.

The surrounding crowd surged forward one after another, as if afraid that An Mancang would change his mind and run away.

With a smile, Ren Dahan snatched the Rubik's Cube from Anle's hand and shouted loudly, "Don't rush, everyone gets one."

"As long as someone wants to play, I'll make sure everyone gets to play. My dad and I will stay here until dark today. Anyone who wants to play can play, and they can also invite their relatives and friends to come and play together."

After Anle made his assurance, the people around finally calmed down, and the onlookers gathered around one by one, curious to see what was going on.

An Mancang watched anxiously, his heart pounding like a bucket as he watched the big man fiddling with the Rubik's Cube.

I'm terrified of accidentally piecing it together!

Anle wasn't in a hurry. He took out a watch from his pocket, held it in his hand, and silently calculated the time. The time it takes to drink a cup of tea is about ten minutes.

Each person only has about ten minutes.

She planted this watch after she arrived here so that she could easily tell the time.

The time was automatically adjusted from the time in her space system. As soon as it was planted, the time was adjusted and updated in real time, and the timing was very accurate.

She felt it should be exactly the second.

If the seed is planted at three o'clock, the clock hands will start from three o'clock.

If the seedlings are planted at five o'clock, the clock hands will start at five o'clock.

To ensure the accuracy of the time, she even planted another plot for comparison, which has been left unused in the space ever since.

Anle clutched the watch in her hand, smiled, and whispered something in Anmancang's ear.

“Father, this thing was also given to me by the gods. It can be used to calculate time.”
