Chapter 13: Money makes the world go round
[Host, the system program has been updated and the original plane channel will be opened for you soon. Please read the latest user manual carefully. I wish you a happy life!]
Tu Huan yawned and went into the bathroom. When she came out, the outside of the house had become familiar to her.
\bTu Huan was extremely happy. The moment she opened the door, a streak of light flashed across the entire house. The sunlight fell on the small courtyard, casting a golden light that made her heart surge with excitement.
She couldn't wait to walk outside with her phone, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt at ease.
She is finally back!
Outside the courtyard, a neighbor passed by with her Schnauzer. Seeing her, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss Tu, I haven't seen you in a while. Did you go out to play?"
Tu Huan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and smiled, "Yeah! I just came back from a long trip."
"It's nice to get out and relax. I'm going to walk the dog first. See you later!"
"Okay, you're busy."
The neighbor lady had just left after saying hello when a property management employee who had just come downstairs passed by her front door. Suddenly, seeing her, he couldn't help but take a few steps back and called out to her from outside the gate, "Miss Tu! You're back? A lot of your packages are stuck at the property management. Remember to pick them up!"
Tu Huan slapped her forehead and smiled suddenly:
"Okay! Thanks! I'll get it later."
"Hey, I should. I'll be leaving first."
"goodbye."
After the property management left, Tu Huan finally felt like she was "going home" after communicating with the real world, and she was very excited.
She first went to take the backlog of express deliveries home.
Looking at the express deliveries all over the floor, Tu Huan stroked her chest, unable to suppress her excitement. It was the fast and convenient modern life that made her feel safe.
The first thing to do when returning to modern times: order takeout!
She's going crazy with greed!
She ordered four or five dishes at once. While waiting for the meal, she pulled out the new manual of the system and looked through it.
【Safety Instructions for the Almighty Guardian System】
Please read the instructions carefully and follow them, or with the assistance of the system assistant, make top-ups, purchases, and use the app in a reasonable and legal manner.
Tu Huan's eyes were fixed on the word "recharge". Wherever these two words appeared, there would be bad luck for her wallet.
The old version has limited capabilities and cannot provide better services to the host. The new version will provide you with comprehensive support services and charge a small service fee.
Tu Huan: ...Isn’t it just about asking her to spend money?
Whenever she encountered something confusing, the system would give her a timely and thoughtful answer.
Tu Huan pointed to a taboo clause.
Notes:
Article 3, Paragraph 2: This system prohibits the host from requiring the system to prioritize protecting the ward when the host is in danger. Breach of the contract will result in the clearing of all points and energy.
Tu Huan didn't quite understand: "What does this mean? Requests are forbidden. Does that mean I can also request?"
She clearly felt the system freeze for a moment...
System: [Prohibited in principle.]
Tu Huan was happy. Although it was prohibited in principle, it was actually possible to do it.
\bAlthough she didn't know what the purpose of this clause was, she instinctively put an asterisk next to it.
The new version of the manual is not long. Tu Huan finished reading it in a short while. It can be summed up in one word:
\bMoney makes the world go round.
She opened her personal dashboard and checked her balance.
Host: Tu Huan
Age: 23
\bIdentity: Painter, \bFamily God of Xie Family, to be determined?
Guardian: Xie Yuchuan (locked)
Bloodline value: +15 points
Points: +70
Energy level: lv.1
Backpack space: 4/10 (including novice gift pack)
Account balance: -666.66 (Please recharge as soon as possible to avoid affecting the function)
“Why is my account balance negative?”
[Before the upgrade, the system had already pre-funded the host with remote feeding of food and medicine to Xie Yuchuan, emergency protection functions, and rainfall functions.]
Tu Huan: ...
Tu Huan: !!!!!!!!!!!!
This thing also includes advance loans?
\b\bTu Huan remained silent, and the system did not dare to say a word.
After a long while, Tu Huan let out a long sigh and went upstairs to look for her bank card.
While searching, he complained, "If we hadn't spent some time together in ancient times and hadn't developed some kinship with the Xie family, I would have untied you the moment you kidnapped me."
Things have come to this point,\bTu Huan is too lazy to care about it anymore.
It’s just over 600, she still has this money.
Bind your bank card in the next second.
\bA bank message is pushed directly to me:
"[China Merchants Bank] Your account 9518 was debited RMB 66,666.00 at 12:45 on January 22."
Tu Huan: ………………
Don't stop her! She's going crazy!
Daliang Dynasty.
After a brief rest in the forest outside Beijing, the exile team continued on their journey.
The little incident at noon had little impact on the Xie family, it just caused a few more pairs of hostile eyes.
As long as the other party doesn't cause trouble first, Xie Yuchuan will just pretend not to see it, and the same goes for other members of the Xie family.
Zhang Dayi got the news about Xie Wuying, and after setting off in the afternoon, he took his mother and headed towards Xie's home.
He also saw what happened at noon. Deep down, he also believed that the Xie family gods were fictitious. The reason why they argued about this matter in the court was because every word was recorded in Taizu's historical records. Without solid facts, how could it be easily overturned?
Not to mention that the incident of the Xie Family Ancestral Hall being hit by a fire due to rain for no reason was also widely circulated in the court. Zhang Dayi did not agree to erase the record of the founding of the country for both emotional and logical reasons.
But from his own point of view, the matter of the Xie family's gods is debatable.
But the Xie family took good care of them, mother and son, and their affection was deep. The journey of exile was difficult and dangerous, and he had to think about his old mother even if he didn't think about himself. Zhang Hanlin was truly grateful for the Xie family's kindness.
Xiong Jiushan led the team and set off. When they were leaving, they happened to see someone coming here from the post station.
However, the other party stopped when he reached the woods by the roadside, as if he was watching a show or waiting for someone.
Xiong Jiushan couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
The prisoners had been walking for most of the day and finally had a short rest. They were still tired and had to set off again. They heard complaints from all directions, which attracted a lot of scolding and whipping.
Xie Yuchuan moved forward with the team, his attention still on the family god Tu Huan.
Just now, I suddenly heard the happy tone of the family god, and then there was no movement.
His heart was beating fast and he felt a little dazed for some reason.
I kept guessing in my mind.
The household god said: Thank God, the door is finally open!
As Xie Yuchuan walked, he thought to himself, what door was opened that made the family god so happy?
It sounded like a long wait.
Since that voice, he hadn't heard any movement from the household god in his ear, and he was having some uneasy and random thoughts in his mind.
Suddenly, a teasing voice came from my ear:
"I never thought that the sixth son of the dignified Xie family would end up in such an embarrassing situation. Tsk tsk tsk, what a shame, what a pity. I am so grateful to have seen this scene today. I have no regrets in my life."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked up.
I saw a handsome young man in a green robe, holding a folding fan, standing on the roadside, laughing and making sarcastic remarks.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchuan also looked up.
Meeting a pair of eyes that seemed to contain a smile that was hard to discern, I knew the person was not friendly.
