Chapter 150 Upgraded Back, the Color-Changing Melon
After two or three days of calm, Ji Yingying didn't get any good gossip, since Xiangxiang had taken advantage of the opportunity to upgrade and shut down many of her functions.
Without the gossip, even storybooks couldn't soothe her young heart, resulting in everyone at court not getting any gossip, but instead hearing many stories of wives chasing after their husbands in cremation.
At first, I thought it was a god chasing his wife, since they used fire. How could an ordinary person chase his wife into fire?
...
[Host, I've leveled up again.]
Oh wow~ you're finally back! I was so bored.
[Host, can you guess what's been upgraded this time?]
Ji Yingying was too lazy to guess. The system was all hers, so she checked directly and found that the small department store had become a supermarket and there were bicycles now.
However, it was very expensive, costing 50,000 taels for a bicycle. Ji Yingying gritted her teeth and bought a women's bicycle.
It's very girly, with a small basketball hoop in the front and a seat in the back, but there's no bicycle in the middle.
In this era, it looks high-end, sophisticated, and classy.
[Host, the next upgrade might include a vehicle, so be prepared to discover oil or something else.]
【real? 】
[Seriously, there are still many other things in the supermarket. You can look at them when you have time. They're just side items. We're still using the "melon-eating system." After this upgrade, the melon-eating system needs melon energy.]
【What's the meaning? 】
[Eating melons converts them into energy. You need energy to open the supermarket. If your energy drops below 800, the supermarket cannot open. Host, your current melon-eating energy is capped at 800. Once it drops below 800, the supermarket will be shut down.]
Good grief, you're trying to hold me back!
[No, this is in response to the host's active participation in gossip. Also, the gossip-eating system's range has expanded; all the gossip in the capital is under our watchful eye, and the gossip is now categorized by size!]
Ji Yingying checked many functions. Apart from eating melons, which had no restrictions, all the others had restrictions, and there was also a mandatory melon-eating function.
What is mandatory is that you must eat this melon, and at the same time there is a rescue station. If the owner of this melon needs help, the host must help them.
The energy from the rescue efforts is transformed into merit, which is used to upgrade the supermarket.
What if I don't want to save her?
Don't try to stay out of it or act superior!
Go ahead and materialize, I'll beat you to a pulp, or I'll take your surname.
【Then you also have the surname Ji, because I share your surname Ji, and my name is Ji Xiangxiang. You even chose this name for me.】
Why does that sound so sarcastic...?
"Dog Egg, draw your sword, let's meet in heaven."
[Er Gouzi, don't get angry, or you'll get nodules.]
[Hehe...] Ji Yingying looked down at her chest; it hadn't grown at all, and there were even nodules...
After a long battle of wits with Xiangxiang, Ji Yingying received an imperial decree summoning her to the palace.
[What are you going to do now?] It's getting dark, aren't you going to eat?
[I don't know] Ji Yingying responded immediately. After leaving the house, without Xiangxiang having to say anything, Ji Yingying was able to automatically sense the melon.
Furthermore, the melons are categorized by color: red is a large melon, yellow is a melon with some color, white is a small, delicate melon that needs help, and green is a melon that has been cuckolded.
There's also black, which represents extremely wicked and evil people.
The colors are so distinct!
【Yes. 】
Ji Yingying noticed eighteen kinds of black in the vicinity. It seems that the good people in the capital are also great villains!
Ji Yingying picked up a black melon and started eating it. After all, the journey to the palace was quite boring.
[Xiangxiang picked out this black melon, let me see, it'll give me some energy.]
This man is Zeng Jialiang, a philanthropist in the eyes of outsiders, who runs an underground gambling den. This gambling den has committed many heinous acts.
[He frequently cheats, not only causing gamblers to lose everything, but also mutilating them, sometimes even cutting off their limbs. Zeng Jialiang is a psychopath who often gathers gamblers who can't repay their debts and then assaults them.]
In what aspect?
[Similar to the lab rats used in modern research institutions.]
Goodness, that's pretty insane.
[There are even more outrageous ones.]
【you say……】
He loves to eat...
[A four-legged sheep...]
Ji Yingying: Speechless, really speechless. She's even eating chicken feet, bought from the supermarket as pickled chicken feet.
[They need to be arrested. I'll report to Lord Gongsun later how many people have died or been injured.]
It must be around seven or eight hundred.
[Hiss...] The gasp was hard to tell whether it was from the spiciness or from shock.
Yes, we ate and drank whatever we wanted.
He paused after speaking, then added: "Those who deserve to be crippled should be crippled. You must become a champion of justice, rescue those gamblers, and incidentally, persuade the emperor to ban gambling."
[Now I suddenly understand why you updated the system like this, and why you want me to save people. Are you planning to turn me into Spider-Man, the Masked Man, or Ultraman?!]
You know what, they actually do look somewhat similar, which fits the situation of trying to show off.
"I'm telling you, it's no use. I can't save him, because there's a genius like Rong Yi in this capital city. He's faster than me."
That's alright. As long as you take down this den, you'll have accumulated a little merit, though not much.
【Alright! Alright!】 Ji Yingying replied, and then bought quite a lot of things, intending to take them to the palace for the Emperor to try.
Even if you can't make it, you can still tempt people.
After getting off the carriage, Ji Yingying furtively looked around, her expression revealing a strong sense of secrecy.
Once she was sure no one was around, she left her bicycle out and rode it right in. Why walk when you have a bike?
After the carriage pulled up to the entrance of the Imperial Study and parked, she went inside. The guards on the way were all shocked when they saw this thing.
I have never seen anything so powerful and so fast.
As soon as she entered, everyone looked at her, staring at her like they were looking at a large monkey in a zoo.
"Why...why are you looking at me like that?"
"I heard you rode a very fast vehicle into the palace today. May I take a look?"
[They found out so quickly? That's ancient times for you; secrets travel so fast.]
"You're so open and aboveboard, and there are so many guards along the way. Of course, they could have just used their light-footed skills to fly over here quickly."
【Too】
"The bicycle is at the door. If you want to see it, just go outside!"
Anyway, she'll still be riding it in the future, so she'll know if she wants to. If she asks where it came from, just say she made it herself.
The supermarket still has some; if not, you can make your own using the blueprints.
Everyone followed her outside and saw the bicycle. They were all very curious, as if they had seen some kind of gorilla.
"My dear minister, tell me quickly what this is?" the emperor asked. He touched it and found it to be not only icy cold but also remarkably sturdy.
"This is a bicycle, watch me demonstrate." Ji Yingying got on the bike, pedaled around, and then showed them how to ride it.
Then everyone wanted to ride and asked questions one after another. The emperor immediately said, "I'll go first. My dear minister, please teach me."
