The moon, who had been half-lying down, suddenly woke up and climbed out of the warm, soft bed at the fastest speed she had ever taken in both her lifetimes.
The commotion startled Cuiyu, who was on duty outside. "Miss, you're awake. I'll help you with your toilette."
Yue Fuguang waved to her, "I want to sleep a little longer. You can go out now. Don't let anyone disturb me unless I tell you to."
Seeing that she had lay down and closed her eyes again, Cuiyu didn't dare to say anything more and quietly withdrew.
Moonlight opened its eyes again in an instant and quickly brought up the system store page.
While checking his points balance and the items he wanted to buy, he asked the system, "System, are you sure the mall's transmission system will be affected?"
If it's truly as you say, and there are negative effects, how long do you think it will take to recover?
She bought a lot of things last time at a 90% discount, but because it was a discounted price, she didn't use many points. The majority of her money was spent on buying storage rings.
There are currently over 80,000 points in the account.
[I'm not entirely sure, it's just a feeling, but the system store might be affected.]
A sixth sense? Does the system have that too?
Regardless of whether it works or not, Yue Fuguang decided to trust her system for a while. After all, even if she didn't need it, she could store it in her storage ring, where time was frozen and she wouldn't have to worry about it getting damaged.
Even if this world doesn't need it, it might be useful for some future mission. This is a way of saving up for yourself in advance!
Moonlight convinced itself without much effort.
She browsed through the system's shop, looking at items from modern clothing, food, housing, and transportation, as well as items from worlds like cultivation, interstellar, wasteland, apocalypse, and beast world.
I bought a lot of things that I might need, especially things that would make me look cool and keep her secret.
She left 20,000 points as untouchable travel expenses, 5,000 points as backup, and squandered the remaining 61,800 points within an hour.
Just as Yue Fuguang was receiving the last hoverboard, the system shop suddenly distorted and then displayed garbled text.
Fortunately, she got lucky and the wasteland high-tech hoverboard, which cost her 688 points, still ended up in her hands.
She really wanted to buy a magical flying artifact from the cultivation world, but even the lowest level of one of those cost four or five thousand points.
For a mortal like her to use it normally, she would have to use points to buy spirit stones as 'fuel'. After all the calculations, the cost of showing off was too high, making it not worthwhile at all.
Unlike the hoverboards from the wasteland, which are economical and practical, they can be charged simply by sunbathing and enjoying the breeze.
"System, is the garbled text in the mall a problem with the data transmission system?"
[There's a problem; the host is no longer able to purchase quest items.]
No sooner had the system finished speaking than the system store issued an announcement, stating that the system store had a vulnerability and needed to be shut down for repairs.
All trading activities will be suspended during the repair period. The specific time for the reopening of the system store will be announced later.
Finally, here's a sweet treat: when the system mall reopens, everything will be 10% off for a limited time!
Moonlight, who has already stocked up on goods: Should I eat these sweet dates or not?!
...
Three days after the Lantern Festival, Yue Fuguang began her daily routine of checking in at the morning court.
Just as she was drifting off to sleep, she heard the system call out to her, "Master, wake up! Little Bead has a melon here, do you want to get up and eat it?"
Not fully awake yet and feeling a bit hungry from sleeping, Yue Fuguang casually replied, "I want to eat, I want to eat cantaloupe, get it to me quickly."
【Master, wake up! This little bead's melon isn't the same as that melon!】
Yue Fuguang opened his eyes, picked up the now-cold tea on the table, and drank it down in one gulp. Ouch! How careless of him!
Even those who were still a little dazed were completely awakened by this sip of cold water!
Qian Gui was standing to the side and behind Emperor Mingxi when he saw Yue Fuguang go to drink the cold water on the table. His heart jumped, and he almost shouted "Don't drink it!"
He glared fiercely at his godson standing behind Yue Fuguang. He had gone to great lengths to get this kid a job serving the Little Immortal Lord from His Majesty.
Is this how this kid takes care of people?
Doesn't he know how many people are eyeing this job?
They're just waiting for him to make a mistake so they can have a chance to step in!
Xiao Fuzi trembled in fright when her godfather glared at her, and her heart sank even further.
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he inadvertently let the Junior Tutor drink cold water. If the Junior Tutor gets an upset stomach as a result, he might lose his job.
Even without his godfather saying it, he knew that the job of serving the little immortal in the palace had always been eyed by someone. Even Eunuch Hai, who served the Empress Dowager, and Eunuch Wei, who served the Empress, were both interested in sending their godsons over.
Xiao Fuzi gritted her teeth, wondering whether she should tell the Junior Tutor about her discovery after the morning court session.
He should have spoken to his godfather first and asked him for advice.
However, since he was now serving the Young Master, she was his master, and he should speak to his master first to avoid breaking the rules.
Eunuch Qian: This kid has finally developed some insight; he has about 20% of my skill from back then.
Emperor Mingxi: Has this kid forgotten where his monthly allowance comes from?
Eunuch Qian: Has Your Majesty forgotten who helped you earn back all that gold and silver in your increasingly overflowing private treasury?
Emperor Mingxi: !! Speechless.JPG
"Little Bead, I'm awake. Let's get the melon!"
【Master, you were asleep just now and didn't hear Wei Ping reporting to the emperor about the arrests of the 'Shameless Brother' gang in the capital these past two days.】
They have arrested more than 200 people and rescued 37 children.
"Hmm, where did you get this gossip from? Is it related to the 'cheapskate' guy's' accomplices or to these rescued children?"
[It's related to these children.]
Wei Ping, who was presenting this matter to the emperor, had a sudden thought, while Cai Xuan in the queue began to recall the basic information of these children one by one.
Wei Ping was in charge of coordinating the various government departments involved in the case and interrogating the prisoners, but when it came to familiarity with the children, he was the one who truly knew them.
After all, those children were rescued by people from their Ministry of Justice, and he was the first to review the first-hand information before reporting it up the chain of command.
If we're talking about kids who might be a bit naive, there are actually a few.
Of these 37 children, nine came from wealthy families. Although it was risky to abduct children from wealthy families, as the kidnappers would say, the risk was high but the profit was also high.
Some families like children who are good-looking and have an air of wealth, as if raising such children will make them rich as well.
So, in Cai Xian's opinion, the juicy gossip must have come from among these nine children. He chuckled to himself, thinking that wealthy families often have many stories to tell.
Just as he thought of this, he heard the divine artifact continue, "Among these children is a boy named Xue Ju, who is exactly eight years old this year. He is the grandson of Marquis Pingyue, Xue Yao, and the eldest son of Heir Apparent Xue Chao."
