One second above her head was a starry sky, and a pale red moon was still shining. The next second, Xu Milu's eyes lit up, and she landed on the bed. Outside the window, the sun shone brightly, and the sky was clear and blue.
It felt as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.
The reversed day and night seemed to have no effect on Xu Milu. She took out her phone and saw that it was 10:30 in the morning.
Although she was mentally exhausted, her body was wide awake, so Xu Milu decided not to sleep and started organizing the various ingredients she had brought back.
Seventy sets of ping-pong grapes, four sets of wheat-ear eggs, a basket of nine-striped abalone, a packet of wheat-ear egg seeds, a small bag of ping-pong grape seeds, a piece of dried Luoluo beast meat, a red fox skin, an ancient book recording otherworldly script, and an ugly egg that's an eyesore.
Xu Milu was quite glad that she had unlocked five more system slots in advance, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to bring so many things back.
The system's grid limit is 99 groups per grid, with 50 units per group. Xu Milu counted on her fingers and realized that she had brought back more than 30,000 catties of ping-pong grapes and 200 catties of wheat-ear eggs this time.
Although she had been in the Food World for almost half a month, only a day and a half had passed on Earth.
There were several missed calls on my phone, all from Zhao Jin, and several unread messages on WeChat, sent by Mu Yang.
[Mu Yang: Remember to keep the wound dry to prevent infection.]
[Mu Yang: Bring him back for a follow-up appointment in a couple of days; it's free.]
[Mu Yang: Are you angry?]
Xu Milu replied with a "What are you looking at?" emoji and then didn't reply again. Instead, she dialed Zhao Jin's number.
"Xiao Xu, oh my, you busy man, you finally remembered to answer my call! I've been so anxious and stressed these past few days that I got mouth ulcers and couldn't even eat hot pot."
Having spent so much time in the Food World, Xu Milu even felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing Zhao Jin's voice. She glanced at the Ping Pong Grapes in her system inventory and calmly said:
"Isn't this just me contacting the company?"
Zhao Jin's voice suddenly became more energetic:
"So—you have it in stock?! Oh, Xu, let me tell you, my phone has been ringing off the hook these past two days, all asking about this super fruit, and I've had to turn them all away!"
Instead of exposing Zhao Jin's ulterior motives, Xu Milu blatantly lied:
"We have some, but not much. There are only a little over 10,000 jin left. If the price is right, you can buy it all."
Zhao Jin sensed something was amiss and tentatively asked, "Xiao Xu, is your company about to start selling seedlings? If you have any news, be sure to consider our company first!"
Xu Milu did not deny it. She brought back the seeds of Ping Pong grapes and wheat ear eggs to introduce them for planting, so there was nothing to hide.
After some back and forth, the two finally settled on a price of 250 yuan per kilogram, and agreed to sign a contract and pick up the goods in a couple of days.
...
...
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jin's wife came over, her face full of jealousy:
"Which vixen are you talking to on the phone? Look at your old face, you can't even hide the wrinkles."
Zhao Jin smiled smugly, even humming a little tune: "What vixen? This is the God of Wealth! As long as we keep this path to wealth with Xiao Xu, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future!"
His wife thought for a while before realizing who the "Little Xu" he was talking about was:
"Didn't you say last time that you'd have someone investigate her background and identity?"
"Investigate for hell! Who cares about her background? As long as it doesn't interfere with my making money, why would I complain about burning money? Super Fruit is all over the internet right now. As long as this hype doesn't die down, our mall can reap the benefits every day!"
Zhao Jin smiled broadly and dialed another number:
"Hello? It's me. Notify the lawyer to come over tomorrow to sign the contract."
...
...
The plane roared across the sky, leaving a trail of white gas.
As Xu Milu's suitcase exited the airport terminal, waiting for her at the entrance was Sun Zhi and his secondhand BYD.
After signing the contract, Xu Milu achieved her third small goal of one million in life, officially entering the petty bourgeoisie.
To avoid worrying Liu Hongmei, she underreported several zeros, only saying that it was a bonus from her boss that she had transferred 500,000 yuan to her family's bank account.
Despite this, Liu Hongmei was still worried that Xu Milu might have encountered some new type of scam and kept urging her to go home quickly.
Liu Hongmei didn't come to pick her up at the airport. She was at home making meatballs with Liu Hongjun. Meanwhile, her two cousins, Xu Minian and Hao Chen, were sitting in the back row, chattering away. She went over to take a look and saw that the two of them were playing King of Glory.
Xu Milu tapped the two of them on the head: "Didn't you two come to pick me up? I think you're just using this as an excuse to play on your phones. Have you finished your homework?"
The two boys laughed incessantly, like little mice that had stolen oil, and begged her not to tell Liu Hongmei.
Sun Zhi glanced at Xu Milu's skin, which was noticeably several shades lighter, and said with some surprise:
"The South is really good for people. It's only been a little over a month since I last saw it, and the rice has turned so much whiter."
Xu Milu smiled but didn't say anything.
She has recently noticed changes in herself; the extraterrestrial genes in her body have clearly had a significant impact on her, affecting not only her physical attributes but also her appearance.
Xu Minian is oblivious and didn't notice:
"Hey, I guess my sister hasn't been getting much sun lately, that's why she's gotten so fair-skinned! Sis, you seem to have lost weight too."
Upon hearing this, Hao Chen leaned over and patted her arm. After feeling the layer of muscle beneath her skin, he asked curiously:
"Sis, you've really lost weight! Your arms used to be all flabby!"
"...You wait, in a few days when your aunt isn't home, let's see who you turn to for help."
