Chapter 145: Ancient Money Spending 1
Liu Yue could never have imagined that time travel would happen to her.
She had been lying soundly in bed the night before, but when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a strange ancient time, with a large amount of information stuffed into her mind.
First of all, this is a fictional world, not any dynasty in history.
The owner of this body is also named Liu Yue, the female supporting character in the novel's control group. She is the legitimate daughter of the family, while her half-sister, Liu Ruoruo, is the female protagonist. Both are approaching marriageable age.
Now is a time of chaos, the royal family is in decline, and the princes are fighting for supremacy. The original owner's father, Liu Jia, is a wealthy businessman. He wants to marry the two sisters to potential heroes, betting on a class leap and changing their family status.
In the first life, the prince that the original owner married failed, and Liu Ruoruo's husband ascended the throne and became emperor;
In the second life, the original owner used trickery to steal Liu Ruoruo's husband and made Liu Ruoruo marry the man she had married in her previous life. As a result, the new husband failed, while the previous husband succeeded.
In the third life, the original owner did not believe in evil and changed her husband back. However, she failed in choosing the right man and Liu Ruoruo became the queen again.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth generations... the original owner, who kept reborn, married all the princes. As a result, a leader who could turn the tide of the dynasty emerged. Liu Ruoruo married him and became the queen.
It was only then that the original owner learned that Liu Ruoruo was the heroine of the novel world, and she was just a supporting actress in the control group.
How could the supporting actress marry better than the heroine? The heroine, of course, must marry the most noble man in the world! She is cannon fodder. No matter who she marries, that person's status will be lower than the hero's, and her husband will definitely fall in love with Liu Ruoruo. This is a fixed routine in the incest novel.
The original owner couldn't swallow this humiliation and quit. But the heroine's happy life is inseparable from the female supporting role. Due to the mistake of an intern at the Space-Time Administration, Liu Yue was caught and took the blame.
Liu Yue, who understood this matter, said: ...
Damn it, what’s the big deal? She just stayed at home and didn’t bother anyone!
And is this employee really an intern? It seems more like an excuse than anything else! How can even a transdimensional organization be like this? The universe truly is a giant makeshift operation.
Fortunately, the management bureau quickly sent compensation after the misunderstanding.
Although she couldn't be sent back for the time being, her spending system 42937 followed her. The system's check-in function worked as usual, allowing her to purchase items from her original world and teleport them over.
Liu Yue said that the compensation was not enough and she wanted to report and complain about them. The boss of the "intern employee" quickly comforted her.
The final result of the discussion was that Liu Yue would stay here until the original owner's body died naturally, in order to maintain the normal operation of this world. This way, when she returned to the original world, it would still be the previous time node.
At the same time, the Time Management Bureau opened a star coin mall specifically for her. The cashback she received for signing in every day was no longer money from her original world, but star coins that could be used to shop in the system mall. The exchange rate was calculated at 1 yuan = 1 star coin.
The system also assured him that it had already communicated with the Time Management Bureau and would never let the host suffer any injustice in this world.
Liu Yue glanced at the contents of the mall and discovered that there were products that were beyond the technological level of her original world. For example, there was a guard-type machine that usually flew beside her, looking like a butterfly, but if she encountered danger, it would automatically activate a protective shield.
According to the introduction, this thing can even defend against atomic bombs, so ancient swords and guns are naturally no problem.
As for the price... a butterfly costs 1 million star coins, and a new energy block needs to be replaced every 7 days, and each energy block costs 10,000 star coins.
Liu Yue calculated in her mind that as long as her luck wasn't terribly bad, it wouldn't be difficult to save up a million yuan in cashback. With this thing, at least her personal safety would be guaranteed.
There were also some offensive props in the mall, which made Liu Yue fall into silence after seeing them.
With such powerful firepower, is she going to be a supporting actress, or is she going to unify the world? But she has never been an emperor, and she studied English in college, which is not a suitable major!
Or it’s still possible to use our own system. The products that 42937 helped her get are really practical.
Liu Yue and the Time Management Bureau have confirmed that the only plot she needs to cooperate with here is "marrying worse than the heroine" and "her husband loves the heroine but not her."
The solution to this problem is simple. She can just not get married. She doesn't care who loves her.
——So, was she really sent to be the emperor? Then she won't be polite.
Liu Yue still remembered the nine-word mantra of being an emperor: build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king.
But before that, she needed a piece of territory of her own to be eligible to join the war among the princes; going one step further, she needed an armed force that would obey her orders completely.
The system mall had a lot of good stuff, but it also required a lot of star coins. If she had been born with a puncture wound and had been saving cashback since she was a child, she might have been able to spend it freely now, but she didn't have that much time right now.
She only won 100,000 yuan on the first day of signing in. Even if she got a 100% cashback, it would only be 100,000 star coins, which is still far from the goal of one million, not to mention those attack equipment that cost tens of millions.
What was even worse was that she was called away by the lady before she even started spending any money.
The heroine Liu Ruoruo also met the lady with her. Liu Yue stared at her for a long time and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that she was indeed the heroine. She was so beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Being stared at, Liu Ruoruo lowered her head in fear, afraid that she would make a wrong move and annoy her elder sister and the lady.
The lady asked them to come over, of course, to discuss the marriage.
It was said to be a discussion, but in fact it was an arrangement. According to the plot, the lady arranged for Liu Yue to marry the husband of the original owner in her first life, but Liu Yue said she would not marry.
The lady told her not to be willful and that she had no right to make decisions on matters of marriage. She also asked her why she didn't get married. Was there anything wrong with Mr. Qiao?
This is about to lead to the plot where Liu Yue changes her husband, but Liu Yue still shakes her head and says that she just won't marry, no one.
She could change her husband, but she couldn't stay married. The lady angrily told her to go back and told her in a tough tone that the family would soon prepare for her marriage to Mr. Qiao. Whether she was willing or not, she had to get into the bridal sedan in half a month.
...No, it was said that ancient weddings were very grand, the procedures were very complicated, and the preparations took a long time. After all, you are marrying a hero, how can it be so hasty!
However, these are turbulent times, so it's normal to simplify the process and rituals. Jingzhou, where the Liu family is located, has been very unstable in recent years. If Liu Jia wants to sell his daughter to surrender, the sooner the better.
Whether she is a legitimate daughter or a concubine's daughter, she is just a tool of her father.
After returning to the room, Liu Yue chose to spend the money first. She could not use the balance in her account in the original world, so she could only spend the money given by the system first. If there was any excess, her star coins would be deducted.
This is a bit troublesome... Then she has to calculate it clearly and spend just the right amount every day. Star coins are very important to her now.
She summoned the system in her mind, and the image of a mobile phone screen appeared in her mind, exactly like her own phone.
Liu Yue opened Taobao and bought a gold bracelet worth 64,940.9 yuan. To be honest, she hadn't paid attention to the price of goods like this in a long time.
This bracelet was a plain, simple ring, with no extraneous design, just solid gold, which was exactly what Liu Yue needed at the moment. What she needed wasn't beautiful jewelry, but hard currency that was universally accepted.
There's no need to buy too much. In troubled times, food is sometimes more important than gold. Liu Yue kept this bracelet with her as a hidden treasure.
Liu Yue paid in one go without even paying attention to the page. She thought she would get it immediately, but she didn't expect that the order was in the waiting-for-shipment status.
The system told her that the gold bracelet had to be delivered to her address via courier before the Time Management Bureau could transfer it. The specific mechanism was quite complicated, but for the sake of the order of time and space, the things she bought could not disappear from other people's warehouses.
But he could disappear from her doorstep, right? That's outrageous...
Liu Yue complained a bit, then accepted the reality. However, she also asked about one thing: the items transported from the original world would remain frozen in time as long as she didn't retrieve them.
But once she takes it out, she can't put it back in. There's no limit on how much stuff she can store.
Liu Yue cheered: "System, you are so kind!"
The system was still as aloof as ever, but Liu Yue knew it was just not good at speaking.
Liu Yue ordered a lot of takeout for herself, and bought a hundred 10-jin bags of rice and a hundred boxes of 24 bottles of drinking water. Then, she went to the fresh food section and bought a lot of eggs, as well as various parts of meat and vegetables.
Liu Yue had no idea how much food people eat every day, and she had no idea how many people would eat for several days. She could only stock up. She made a minimum of 10,000 yuan a day, and the express delivery and takeout there were pretty fast, so she could buy more later.
The most important thing for her now is not to think about what supplies to stock up, but to spend the money first and earn star coins.
She also bought herself some snacks and a self-heating hot pot, and didn't forget to buy sanitary napkins, paper towels, and wet wipes. She also bought a few simple and convenient sets of clothes suitable for outdoor wear.
She didn't need to change when she was at the Liu family, but she would have to go out sometime. Since she had modern supplies, Liu Yue had never thought about hiding herself, but whether it was pretending to be a fairy or something else, she must have the ability to protect herself first.
The ancients weren't stupid; not everyone would be completely devoted to a "miracle" just because they saw it. Religion is just a tool to control people's hearts. If a specific god really appeared, that would be a different matter.
Liu Yue reasonably speculated that they would definitely try to assassinate her first, and then make sure that they couldn't kill her.
Thinking of this, Liu Yue bought another anti-wolf stun gun.
She wasn't sure if this thing would work, but she bought it anyway, and also tried some pepper spray.
She actually wanted to buy a small household electric saw, but unfortunately, they were all rechargeable. The system mall did provide power supplies, but Liu Yue couldn't afford them at the moment.
If she had known about time travel, she would have practiced a few moves with Ren Zhen... Alas, it was too late to regret now. The original owner's physical fitness was even worse than hers. She had to gasp for breath after walking a few steps. She needed to exercise more.
Liu Yue bought a lot of things. When she had only 12.6 yuan left, she typed "hair tie" in the search box and limited the price to between 12 and 13 yuan.
She bought a set of 24 hair ties in mixed colors for 12.8 and successfully completed today's task.
Phew, you need to have experience in online shopping.
Now, let her see how much cash back she has today...
The worst result, 10%, is only 10,000 star coins.
Liu Yue leaned back. No way, is my luck so bad?
In half a month, she would be married off to Mr. Qiao by her family. Liu Yue had a hunch that once she got married, the world would not let her have an easy life.
So, she had to find another way and make preparations for both scenarios.
If she couldn't collect enough star coins to buy the guard butterfly, she would have to select and form her own guard team among the natives of this world.
