But what method could make money? Gan Li thought of the system.
I completed two tasks today, accumulating a total of twenty merit points. Xiao Ma once said that these accumulated merit points can be used to unlock the locked shelves in the supermarket.
I wonder what good things these twenty merit points can unlock?
Thinking of this, Gan Li couldn't help but get excited. While Gan Tian was asleep, she closed her eyes and imagined the scene in the supermarket. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the supermarket.
Remembering the warning she'd heard earlier, she rushed out to check and found that one of the shipping containers was unlocked. But when she saw the goods inside, she was immediately disappointed.
Milk and yogurt? Hmm—these two things are a bit of a waste!
Milk is a good thing, and if it were cheaper in modern times, it would definitely sell very well.
But she was in ancient times, and common people in ancient times didn't have the habit of drinking milk, since it neither quenched their thirst nor filled them up.
The yogurt is alright, especially the traditional yogurt, which is suitable for babies.
However, even if someone were to buy it, how much money could a cabinet the size of a refrigerator possibly fetch?
As Ganli muttered to herself, she casually took out a bottle of fresh milk, opened the cap, and gulped it down.
Before she could finish drinking, the empty spot on the shelf was refilled! Little Ma hadn't lied to her; this stuff really did restock automatically.
But she doesn't use all of these things, does she?
Ganli was somewhat annoyed, so he called Maria out and questioned her:
"Those merit points are what I earned through my labor. How come you used them to unlock containers without even asking my opinion? Doesn't your system have labor laws? Don't you respect human rights?"
Seeing that she was angry, Maria quickly reassured her, "Host, please don't worry. Except for the first unlock, you can choose freely for each subsequent unlock of the container!"
"Really?" Ganli asked suspiciously, and only felt relieved after receiving an affirmative answer.
She had already decided to use this supermarket space to make money, so naturally she would choose items that would be useful to her. Otherwise, if she unlocked a toilet paper section next time... of course, she would need that too, but she could put up with it for now.
Having figured this out, she remembered something else: "Xiao Ma, check how many merit points I have left."
“Merit points? What merit points? Don’t you use all your merit points to unlock containers?” Maria said.
"What?" Gan Li was even more surprised: "Just unlocking a few bottles of broken milk requires so many merit points? What kind of crappy system is this!"
She worked so hard to complete two tasks, and all she got in return was a cabinet full of broken milk? Ganli couldn't accept it.
Maria disagreed with her statement:
"Many people want this opportunity, but they don't have it yet! The reason you were able to bind to this system is related to the will you made in your previous life."
The property you left behind helped many women struggling in difficult circumstances, thus accumulating a lot of merit, which is why you were selected by the system and given this opportunity to live a second life.
The system's tasks are also related to this; as long as you complete more tasks, these merit points are easy to accumulate!
Hearing its words, Ganli was somewhat bewildered—so that's how it is!
She never imagined that her act of kindness would give her a second chance at life!
But to what Maria said, she replied—that's utter nonsense!
She knew, of course, that helping more people would earn her more merit points, but where could she find so many people in need of help in such a short time?
Thinking you can unlock containers by completing tasks and then never have to worry about food and drink is not something you can achieve in the short term. If you want to get rich, you still have to rely on yourself.
Remembering the most important question she had asked upon entering this space today, Gan Li quickly asked:
"I see other people's systems can collect ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms, do you want to collect those too?"
Maria immediately saw through her thoughts, looked at her speechlessly, and asked, "You don't mean to go up the mountain to see if there are any Ganoderma lucidum or ginseng or anything like that, do you?"
Having her thoughts read, Ganli nodded sheepishly.
Maria ruthlessly shattered her fantasy: "Don't be delusional. This mountain isn't that big, and there are so many people in the village. If there were ginseng or lingzhi, they would have picked them long ago. How could it be your turn?"
Ganli was a little breathless after hearing what it said, but she still stubbornly insisted: "I've already transmigrated... I'm the female lead! Isn't picking lingzhi and ginseng just basic stuff for the female lead?"
"Don't talk about the female lead, even if you were God, it wouldn't matter!" Maria rolled her eyes in annoyance, then said mysteriously, "Besides, the female lead of this world is someone else."
What?!
Gan Li never expected that her casual question would lead to such explosive news!
When she came to her senses, she was even more confused. So, was she not just a time traveler, but someone who had transmigrated into a book?
So who exactly is the protagonist of this book?
Seeing her dazed look, Maria comforted her, "Don't worry, they're a million miles away from you, so they shouldn't affect you for the time being."
The words "should" and "for the time being" were too uncertain, making Ganli even more uneasy, and she hurriedly pressed it for more details.
Unable to resist her persistent questioning, Maria finally revealed some information, and Gan Li learned that the female protagonist of this world was also a transmigrator, but just like her, even lower in status... because the female protagonist in this book was a concubine in a marquis's mansion.
Ganli: "..."
What's going on? Are authors these days all taking such unconventional approaches?
In the past, it was fashionable to have time-traveling women become princesses or rich heiresses, or at the very least, village girls like her. Why is it fashionable now to have them become concubines?
