Chapter 146: Ancient Money Spending 2
On the first day in ancient times, Liu Yue thought she would have to struggle hard.
The next day, she won 10 million.
In other words, as long as she spends all the money today, even if she takes the guaranteed cashback, she will still have one million star coins. She will definitely get the Guardian Butterfly, and her career in the competition will take off rapidly.
When Liu Yue saw the dial pointer stop at this square, she rolled over on the bed and screamed in excitement. Even if the maids came over and they nervously suspected she was crazy, it didn't matter to her.
After all, as long as security is in place, she will start to play tricks - no, to create an image of herself as a goddess who has come to earth.
If a god goes crazy, can that be called crazy? That's called being careless!
Liu Yue celebrated with the system in her heart and thanked her system specifically for its good performance.
Although the system only said "the probability is completely random", she knew, she understood everything!
To be honest, Liu Yue hasn't been so excited about 10 million for a long time. Fortunately, she still remembered how to spend it.
This is also thanks to her modern consumption records. In her mobile phone, which is synchronized with the system, there are apps and mini-programs developed specifically for her by various luxury brands.
She can buy styles that others can't find online, and brands that don't sell online will also open dedicated online shopping channels for her.
Hmm... Liu Yue saw a watch worth more than 12 million at Van Cleef & Arpels and was about to place an order. But then she remembered that the other part of the combined payment was star coins, so she quickly returned to the main interface.
It’s better to search by price, buy enough for more than 9 million, and then spend the rest of the money on food, drinking water, eggs, meat and vegetables.
Although it is a bit troublesome, every star coin she has must be used wisely and cannot be used to buy an ordinary watch.
Yesterday she mainly bought things on Taobao and supplemented it with takeout. Today, Liu Yue thought about it and changed all her consumption channels to takeout because it is delivered faster.
By the way, she bought such a large quantity of things, but the store’s stock was not exhausted, and she could even add to her purchases as much as she wanted... I guess this was the idea of the Spacetime Administration.
After completing the payment, Liu Yue looked forward to the cashback for the first time.
Please, please, you finally got 10 million, just give her a high percentage, please, please!
Liu Yue held her breath, washed her hands, and silently recited the names of all the gods she knew in her mind before starting the cashback wheel.
The pointer kept moving and finally stopped at the 70% area.
Phew, although it’s not 100%, this ratio is still okay.
Liu Yue immediately opened the system mall interface and looked carefully at the details page of the Guardian Butterfly, confirming that only one butterfly needed to be purchased to protect one person, and there was no small print setting that required collecting n butterflies to provide all-round protection.
She bought a guard butterfly, and the items in the mall arrived immediately without waiting, but there was no energy block in the new butterfly machine.
Liu Yue: ...
She knew it! Fortunately, her account balance was sufficient!
One energy block can be used for seven days. Liu Yue tried to bargain with the system to see if there would be any discounts if she bought more.
Unfortunately, there weren't any. She would buy ten and stockpile them first. Maybe more advanced guardian machines would be available in the future. Items purchased from the system mall were not refundable.
She continued to look through other things in the mall and first bought the national map and Jingzhou map of the current time and space.
This map costs one thousand star coins, but it only contains administrative blocks and terrain divisions, and cannot be zoomed in or out. If you want a detailed, positionable version like the mobile phone navigation of later generations, you must first purchase satellites, and you will need more than one.
Liu Yue reasonably suspected that before buying the satellite there must be a prerequisite task of building a base, which was a huge series of pitfalls.
This was not something she could afford right now, so Liu Yue decisively looked away. She thought the paper version would be fine.
Alas, I just got seven million, but why do I still feel so poor... As expected, even the rich host will feel that he has the will but not the ability when it comes to infrastructure construction.
However, the remaining money was enough for her to buy some small weapons!
Liu Yue carefully selected and bought a freezing bomb conversion launcher worth five million star coins.
Its operation is very simple, just press the trigger. As for the principle, it absorbs water vapor in the air and converts it into a freezing bomb that quickly freezes the object it touches.
This thing also needs to consume energy blocks, and the consumption rate depends on the frequency of use. Liu Yue read the introduction and found that one can be launched about 100 times, so the cost-effectiveness is quite high.
Moreover, it is smaller than an ordinary pistol. Liu Yue can hang it around her neck when not in use and use it with the guard butterfly, which perfectly solves the problem that others may snatch her weapon.
No one can beat her, only she can beat others, how can she lose? How can she lose? Just thinking about it makes me feel so good!
The store's customer service representative popped up to offer her a pair of matching holographic contact lenses. Wearing them would activate the transmitter's aiming assist function within 50 meters!
This holographic mirror is not only suitable for the freeze bomb launcher, but also compatible with many weapons with assisted aiming functions in the mall. It is very practical.
Seeing that the holographic mirror was priced at 880,000 star coins, Liu Yue decided to spend the money generously. It felt great to be able to buy it whenever she wanted.
She won't spend the remaining star coins for now. She doesn't need the things she can afford, and she can't afford the things she needs yet. She still has to work hard to spend money to save star coins.
During the shopping time, all the takeouts Liu Yue ordered arrived.
She was not in a hurry to withdraw it. After all, once she took it out, she couldn't put it back. At this moment, she was studying the map of Jingzhou carefully.
This fictional world generally follows the administrative divisions of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Jingzhou has always been a battleground for military strategists, and Wancheng, Nanyang County, where the Liu family is located, is also an important node on the north-south trade route.
The husbands chosen by the Liu family for her and Liu Ruoruo were both members of the Nanyang County warlord faction. If Liu Yue guessed correctly, according to the novel's plot, these two factions were about to go to war, and whoever Liu Ruoruo married would win.
This time, they couldn't win because Liu Yue wanted Nanyang. Even if the territory was too big for her to swallow in one go, she had to at least keep Wancheng.
So, does she want to break away from the Liu family and start her own business, or does she want the entire Liu family to serve her?
She would choose the latter option. After all, building a house in ancient times was not easy. She lived quite comfortably in the Liu family courtyard and did not need to consider moving out until she had a better place to live.
As the young lady of the family, Liu Yue was accompanied by two maids.
Liu Yue called them in individually for questioning. The question was, if she and the young master fell into the river at the same time, who would they save first?
The two older maids were obviously hesitant - Liu Yue didn't blame them. After all, the young master was the original owner's older brother, the eldest son, and the heir to the family.
In the general perception of the world, let alone these maids, even Liu Yue herself would have to give priority to the safety of the young master after falling into the water.
There were several maids in her yard. After Liu Yue asked them one by one, only a girl named Chuntao was quick-witted. She said without hesitation that she was the young lady's person and would definitely save the young lady first.
Very good, Liu Yue immediately said that she would stay with her from now on, and then asked her if she had any relatives in the local area.
Liu Yue originally wanted to cultivate her family, but Chuntao was a refugee who fled here a few years ago.
At that time, the whole family was so hungry that they had no strength to walk. Her parents wanted to exchange her sister for another child, but she stopped them. She kowtowed repeatedly in front of the Liu family's steward and sold herself in exchange for a bag of rice for them.
Liu Yue almost asked, why do we need to exchange children?
At the moment when she was about to speak, she thought of an idiom and swallowed her words.
Human trafficking is a cruel thing, but it saved Chuntao's life in troubled times. At least she was able to survive.
The situation has not improved in recent years, but has become worse.
In the past, refugees could sell their children and themselves into slavery, but now no one is willing to take them in. Unless they are sent to the battlefield as consumables, the wealthy families can no longer afford to feed so many mouths.
Thinking of this, Liu Yue felt a little heavy.
Now that she has the ability to protect herself, she can let go and do some things.
Liu Yue originally wanted to go directly to Liu Jia, but she found that she lived in the backyard and Liu Jia lived in the front yard, and the gate was guarded. Only Liu Jia and her younger brother could move freely between the front and back yards; female family members were not allowed to go out.
If she wants to get out, she has to force her way out.
Although the butterfly around Liu Yue was particularly conspicuous and the concierge was very curious, he couldn't let her out just because of that. The front yard was crowded with people, what if he encountered a stranger?
They were just workers doing their job. Liu Yue didn't want to attack them, so she went to the lady's yard and told her that she wanted to see Liu Jia. She asked her to tell him to come to the backyard.
The lady was startled. She didn't know what happened to Liu Yue.
First, she said yesterday that she didn't want to get married and wouldn't marry anyone. Just now, the maidservant beside her came to report that the young lady suddenly laughed out loud in the bedroom, and her words and actions were a little crazy. Not only did she ask them very strange questions, she also randomly picked people from the yard to replace them!
The lady didn't believe it at first, but she heard with her own ears that Liu Yue actually called Liu Jia's name directly.
If this gets out, the reputation of the women in the Liu family will be ruined!
Her first reaction was to observe the scene. Fortunately, everyone here was her confidant. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Yue called out Liu Jia's name again and repeated what she had just said.
The lady was angry and anxious, and tried to cover her mouth, but was bounced back by an invisible force.
She was surprised to find that the butterfly that had been flying around Liu Yue had now landed on her shoulder. Its wings shone with a blue light, and a faint blue veil also surrounded Liu Yue.
Liu Yue was just about to hide, but unexpectedly the protective shield opened automatically.
It turns out that this level can be considered an "attack". Then she is so safe!
Seeing that Liu Yue looked normal, the lady reached out her hand tremblingly to touch her.
She wasn't bounced back this time, but she felt a particularly hard layer. Her intuition told her that it was impenetrable, but she couldn't see anything.
The lady screamed and fainted.
Liu Yue had never expected this to happen. She wanted to help the lady who had fallen off the chair, but her action triggered even louder screams in the house. Some people cried and begged her to let the lady go, while others ran out in panic, shouting "There is a monster" as they ran.
Liu Yue: ...
No, although she was prepared to be mistaken for a monster when pretending to be a goddess, she didn't attack anyone just now, she was just defending herself automatically!
She met Liu Jia as she wished. Although she did not regard Liu Jia as her father, it was obvious that he did not regard her as his daughter at this moment. Instead, he regarded her as an unknown monster that had possessed "Liu Yue" and brought a group of monks to exorcise the evil spirit.
Wait, is this a job for monks? Are they professionally qualified? We should at least find some Taoist priests!
Liu Yue didn't like fighting and killing. She wanted to have a few words with Liu Jia in a calm manner, but Liu Jia didn't want to talk to her at all and let the group of monks start fighting.
Although Liu Yue's cheats were quite powerful, the Buddhism of this world clearly lacked supernatural elements. A group of people used a lot of fancy tricks on her, but the actual damage to Liu Yue was equal to zero.
They tried to catch her, but were all bounced back. Someone came up with a knife to chop her, but was bounced five meters away by the protective shield and experienced a free chair ride.
Liu Jia was completely out of ideas. He wanted to escape, but Liu Yue wouldn't let him go like that.
She couldn't catch up with him at running speed, so she could only activate the launcher and aim it at Liu Jia's right leg.
The freezing bomb was fired at an extremely fast speed. In less than a second, Liu Jia felt a piercing chill in his right leg, and the chill was spreading rapidly.
He couldn't run anymore because his entire right leg was frozen. In an instant, he completely lost sensation in his leg and fell to the ground.
Liu Yue walked around to the front of him and said, "Can you listen to me now? You want to sell me to the father of the Qiao family."
By the way, how do you thaw this freeze bomb?
It should, perhaps, probably...it can melt naturally.

The author has something to say: The advantage of writing a sequel is that it is a short story that can be quickly passed without having to worry about any twists and turns.
If you are writing a long story, this guard butterfly can block the protagonist's plot time for a month (.
