"What is it?" Liu Yuanyuan asked, a little troubled.
"Although we can buy a lot of modern things here, which makes things much more convenient for us during our periods, we still can't be discovered. It's too nerve-wracking. And in the summer, although it's not as hot as it is now, it's still hot without air conditioning or fans. There are a lot of things we can't do, so we have to sneak around."
Pei Yuezhi nodded in agreement: "What you said makes so much sense. It's just that life here is a bit inconvenient, and I always miss going back. Otherwise, it's really nice here."
"Hey, wait a minute, I need to ask the system something," Pei Yuezhi said suddenly. "System, do you have any missions that can unlock modern living spaces?"
The system seemed to be online 24/7, replying immediately: "If there were modern living spaces, why would we need to travel through time?"
Pei Yuezhi immediately deflated. Of course, what difference is there between this and returning to the modern world?
"Is it really impossible? o(╥﹏╥)o......" Pei Yuezhi felt very aggrieved.
"However, I can search for it. I'm also a little unsure." The system seemed to feel a little sorry for the system, and after a moment of silence, it spoke again.
"Then you should go and take a look." Pei Yuezhi was very excited when she heard this. If there really was such a mission, she would do everything she could to complete it.
I talked to Liu Yuanyuan about it, and she was also very excited. If this problem could be solved, staying in this ancient world for a lifetime wouldn't be a problem. But if that were the case, time travel would be too comfortable.
I don't know how to check this system, but the two of us are suffering terribly while waiting.
"Ding, task triggered: open a new shop, larger than the current one. Task reward: system house rental."
!
It turns out there really is a chance. But this rental should require paying rent, right? If that's the case, then time travel seems pointless. Should we just go back? I should probably ask for clarification first.
"System, what are the requirements and rules? Don't forget to mention any regulations."
Pei Yuezhi was excited for a moment, but then calmed down.
[Property Description: Rent is based on the size of the property, and guests are allowed a total of two hours of access per day. The property includes facilities for laundry, showering, and rest. Guests are welcome.]
The rental agreement popped into my mind, and it felt like a rip-off. But it's not so bad, though. Who can live in a modern house after time-traveling? I can spend two hours a day there. If there's anything inconvenient in ancient times, I can always use my space to solve it.
“Yuanyuan, we’re going to settle this! Let me tell you…” Pei Yuezhi explained the house situation in detail.
As expected, Liu Yuanyuan jumped up with joy after saying that.
"That's great, Yueyue. You have no idea how difficult it is when I'm on my period. Even though we have a shopping mall where I can buy things, it's still so hard to manage. Plus, it's so hot and humid. If I want to take a shower, I have to boil water, carry buckets, and do all the washing and scrubbing. It's such a hassle."
Liu Yuanyuan's complaints were met with Pei Yuezhi's agreement. However, it was also necessary to consider the type of house and the rent.
I asked about houses through the system, which is like a real estate agency. It showed a lot of pictures, but the prices were reasonable. The cheapest was 500 coins, and the most expensive was 10 taels. But I only need to take a bath and use the toilet here, so I don't need anything too expensive, since I only have two hours.
The system said you can go and check out the house first, and then unlock it completely after completing the task.
This system is indeed very thoughtful.
Pei Yuezhi gave Liu Yuanyuan a general description of the house, and the two decided to choose a cheap one. Anyway, it wasn't dirty or messy, and it would only cost five hundred coins, which they could earn back in no time.
After booking the room, the two couldn't wait to go inside and take a look. As soon as they entered the room, Liu Yuanyuan almost cried.
"Yueyue, this is what modern life feels like! This bed, this sofa, this kitchen, this bathroom... Oh my god, I miss it so much."
As Liu Yuanyuan spoke, she lay down on the bed, sprawled out on her back.
Pei Yuezhi was also extremely happy, and she was overjoyed to see the modern appliances in the kitchen. Although she had always longed for an antique environment, it was still quite inconvenient for people living in modern times to travel to ancient times.
Especially the family she transmigrated to, which was destitute and penniless, and they had only just managed to improve their lives.
However, this system is truly excellent. With this modern rest area, this time-travel journey is completely flawless.
They live even more comfortably than they would in modern times.
However, the mission is not yet complete. After finding a suitable house, the system immediately teleported the two of them out.
Opening a larger store at this stage is not so easy.
At present, funding is not the biggest problem. The problem is that there are basically no suitable restaurants or hotels in the town that are currently rented out.
After all that commotion, neither of them felt like resting or sleeping. Luckily, the wind was picking up outside, so they decided to go for a walk to refresh themselves.
Unexpectedly, I ended up at the entrance of "Baiweiju". I had passed by here before, but I had never looked at it carefully.
This Baiweiju restaurant truly lives up to its reputation as the most popular restaurant in town; its decor is quite impressive.
The thought of Baiweiju made Pei Yuezhi angry. She felt that her small restaurant deserved such a host of attacks.
While both are restaurants, Qingquanlou is truly like a clear spring, never suppressing or targeting other competitors. However, it's a pity that Baiweiju poached its business, and its business is not as good as Baiweiju's.
Qingquanlou is not far from here, and the restaurant is larger. Although Baiweiju is doing better business, Qingquanlou was built earlier, and none of the restaurants that came after it are as big as it.
It's not mealtime, but they're open all day, so there are a few scattered customers around.
"Madam, please have mercy and give me some money." An old man in tattered clothes led a child who was also dressed in tattered clothes.
The old man leaned on a cane and held a bowl, while the child was pale and thin.
Pei Yuezhi immediately recalled what her two children looked like when she first transmigrated.
Just as they were about to pay them, two waiters came out of Baiweiju.
"Get out of here, you beggar! Stay away from here, don't delay our business!"
"You're filthy, get the hell away from me!"
The two men pushed and shoved each other, and one of them pushed the beggar child to the ground. Even the old man was pushed and stumbled.
Pei Yuezhi couldn't bear to see it and quickly reached out to help the old man. Liu Yuanyuan also rushed over to help the child up and patted the dust off his clothes.
