Unexpectedly, this very bump led her to obtain a strange thing, something called a system. The system told her that as long as she obeyed and completed the tasks, she could obtain everything she desired.

At first, she was scared, thinking she had encountered an invisible ghost. But after breaking a boy's leg for the first time, she received a card that could make her more and more beautiful. She tried it out with some questions in mind.

Who would have thought the effect would be so good? The next day, her family completely changed their attitude when they saw her face, especially the boys in her foster family. Before, they would always curse her as a good-for-nothing whenever they saw her, but after that day, they all fawned over her.

No matter how harsh her words were, those people treated her the same way. They even offered to help her with her daily chores. It was as if they had no idea what she looked like before, as if she was supposed to be this beautiful. This made her very excited.

It seems that she lost herself around that time, thinking that as long as she had that pretty face, she was invincible.

Back home, it was even more so. People who used to look down on her would now fawn over her after just a few words from her, and she enjoyed that feeling of being superior.

She also won over several important figures with the medicinal herbs provided by the system. Feeling that she had a powerful backer, she became even more unscrupulous. Thinking about it now, she still feels a sense of elation. That feeling was so wonderful, as if she were the center of the world.

If she had been more careful and cautious, could she have continued to live that life of being adored by thousands?

“Shao Yifang, tell me where you got those medicinal herbs. Don’t say they were given to you by some mysterious master. Our people have already seen that you conjured those herbs out of thin air.”

Shao Yifang snapped out of her reverie. Yes, she was a prisoner now, and no one would come to rescue her. The Shao family had probably already severed ties with her.

Do not reveal my existence, or I will initiate a self-destruct sequence.

Do not reveal my existence...

The system's voice kept ringing out, and Shao Yifang's mind was buzzing, making it impossible for her to think properly about how to answer.

Do not reveal my existence...

Shao Yifang couldn't stand the noisy voice in her head any longer and shouted, "Shut up! Don't talk in my head, or we'll both disappear!"

The man opposite him didn't show any change in his expression, but if you looked closely, you could clearly see that his pupils were dilated, indicating that he was very surprised. Could it be that this so-called system could take someone down with it?

Based on previous experiences, this thing is very good at escaping. If it can escape, why would it warn Shao Yifang like this? It seems that none of the previous people have experienced this.

Then there's only one answer: this thing called the system has lost the ability to escape again, so threatening Shao Yifang is the only way it can go.

After warning the system, Shao Yifang finally saw the person on the other end and realized she was in trouble. Had she been exposed? Should she tell them? Even if she couldn't get out, would her treatment be much better? She was really tired of those miserable days.

She took a deep breath and made up her mind: "I can speak up, but can I be moved to a place with better living conditions?"

Although she wasn't very knowledgeable, she had read so many books, and she knew what kind of outcome she would face if she was invited here. She just wanted to get better treatment and leave the Shao family, which disgusted her, and the impoverished life in the countryside. She would be very satisfied with that.

The man considered it for a moment and nodded. As long as Shao Yifang was still useful, it wouldn't be a problem to get her a better living condition, but freedom would be impossible.

When the man came out of the interrogation room, he looked visibly more relaxed, clearly having received an answer that satisfied him.

Qian Xiao was unaware of Shao Yifang's fate. She was happily wandering around. Although the capital at this time was not as prosperous as it would be in later years, it was still full of the unique characteristics of this era.

People at this time are in high spirits. They may not be eating or dressing very well, but they are all very energetic and full of fighting spirit. Being in such an environment, her laziness seems to have disappeared a lot. She feels full of energy and wants to do something great.

Although she was somewhat out of control of her emotions, she still knew herself quite well and was able to control her emotions well, enjoying this rare experience.

If only I had a camera, I could have captured the capital at this time of year; those would be precious memories for the future.

Thinking of the city 66 years from now, Qian Xiao sighed quietly. He wondered how many people would suffer then, how many of those cultural relics would be preserved, and how many people's faces would be filled with caution.

Seeing the clay figurine stall, Qian Xiao shook her head. She shouldn't worry unnecessarily. For a country to truly transition, some things are unavoidable, and these are not things that an ordinary citizen like her should concern herself with.

Qian Xiao went over and bought a lot of clay figurines. They didn't have these where they lived, so they could give them back as gifts for the children in the village.

Sun Kaicheng walked over with a smile, looking at the man carrying a large bag of money, his face full of helplessness: "How much did you buy?"

"This is not much. As you know, we have many relatives in the village. I'll have to trouble you to carry it for us."

"Are you stupid? We have something that can cheat. We can just take it out when we're almost there. As long as we're careful, no one will find out."

What he didn't say was that with his mental strength, he could remain undetected even when no one was monitoring him. Therefore, when using space, he wouldn't be as sneaky as Comrade Erdan.

"Right, I always think it's better to be careful. Why didn't you just open the door and go in?"

Qian Xiao didn't keep anything valuable in her dormitory. She always kept a spare key near the door, in case she lost her own key and couldn't get in. Sun Kaicheng knew where the key was.

"It wouldn't be right for me to go in alone if you didn't come back," after all, the two of them are different, and even though he is younger, there will still be plenty of rumors.

"Oh, please open the door quickly," she said, still carrying some things on her back.

"You still haven't told me how you got here. Didn't you say you'd be busy these next few days?"

"My mom made this soup and asked me to bring it over for you to eat." Sun Kaicheng held up the bag he was carrying.

"Auntie, you're too kind. Have you eaten yet?"
