"My older sister is truly insightful, discerning, intelligent, and beautiful..."
Having spent most of her time with her mother and sister, Xu Minian had long since mastered the art of flattery.
Xu Milu couldn't take it anymore: "Stop, stop, stop! Just say what you have to say. I haven't bought into this for years."
"Well, I took some pictures of our guppies and showed them to my classmates. One of them has a family that keeps fish, and he wanted to ask where you bought your guppies. His dad also wants to buy a pair from there."
Xu Minian took out his phone and showed her the giant aquarium in his classmate's house.
Xu Milu had never kept fish before, but just by looking at the equipment, she knew that the fish in that tank must have been very expensive.
"Huh? Is that a guppy? I just bought it randomly from a street vendor, I don't even know what kind of fish it is?"
Xu Milu brought the little fish back because she thought they were cute and wanted to catch them for Xu Minian to play with. She didn't really know what kind of fish they were.
"I'm not too sure either. Do you remember my classmate Liu Xing? The big guy who played basketball with me. His dad has been raising fish for over ten years. He says these are guppies. This should be it."
Only after Xu Minian mentioned it did she vaguely recall it. Looking at the fish tank, which was comparable to a small aquarium, she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's amazing that so many fish can survive."
Xu Minian didn't forget his purpose: "So where did you buy that fish? My classmate said it costs at least five thousand yuan a fish. I don't believe you would be willing to spend five thousand yuan to buy fish for me to play with. You probably caught it somewhere."
Xu Milu twitched her lips. Her younger brother really knew her best. But if that little fish cost five thousand, wouldn't the four fish in the turtle tank at home be worth twenty thousand?
She suddenly realized how incredibly stupid she had been; selling fish was more lucrative than selling breakfast.
Xu Milu thought for a while before answering, "I was near the orchard river when I saw someone selling fish on my way back to the yard, so I bought four for ten yuan. Are you sure these little fish can sell for twenty thousand?"
"I don't know either. How about we sell our four dogs to his dad?"
Xu Minian's eyes were filled with the light of seeing RMB.
"Uh, that's not a good idea. It's only ten yuan worth of stuff, and you're selling it to someone for twenty thousand yuan? You can tell your classmate that you can't find that fishmonger anymore, and they probably caught it somewhere else."
Xu Milu hesitated for a moment, but still resisted the urge to go to the lake and catch a few more to sell. If people asked her where the fish came from, could she say that she just caught them randomly in a lake in another world?
"Let me tell you, even though we're short on money right now, we can't cheat people."
Xu Milu saw through Xu Minian's little scheme.
“I’ve already invited them to come over to see the fish in a couple of days, I can’t go back on my word.”
Xu Minian scratched his head. He also felt that this was not a good idea, so he thought it would be fine to let his classmate come to his house to take a look. Maybe his classmate's father would see it and think it wasn't that nice and wouldn't want to buy it?
"Look at you, he's your classmate anyway. Besides, the person who sold me this fish said it wouldn't have any offspring. It's a waste of money for your classmate's dad to buy it."
Xu Milu looked at the four lively fish in the turtle tank, and gently tapped the glass with her hand. The little fish came over as if they were very intelligent, showing great affection.

...
The next day, Liu Hongmei, sporting huge panda eyes, calmly stated that she planned to continue renting Uncle Sun's shop, and that Sun Zhi would help out at the shop for the next few days before hiring more staff next month.
Xu Milu had a lot more to do. First, she hurriedly stocked up on three days' worth of ingredients for the store.
However, she didn't put the fire mulberry fruit in the shop. As for the black needle grass, Xu Milu couldn't say for sure. She just told Liu Hongmei that it was used by people living by the sea to enhance the flavor of soup. She also put the ingredients for the tea eggs in the spice bag for cooking the broth. The wheat ear, egg leaves and tea leaves were mixed together, and most people couldn't tell the difference at all.
Xu Milu bought several more pieces of jade of even better quality, which boosted the energy of the dimensional jumper to 0.240% in one go. The time that could be spent in a dimensional space increased to four Earth hours, or forty hours in that dimensional space.
Although the time she could stay in the dimension suddenly increased to forty hours, Xu Milu still exchanged all the remaining five thousand yuan in her hands for jade, which she carried close to her body in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
Upon opening the dimensional jumper information panel, Xu Milu discovered a new notification.
[Currently charged at 0.340% (can be used to repair some functions). Time remaining in this plane is 04:00:00 (Earth time)]
"Huh? Energy can be used to repair functions?"
Xu Milu clicked on the repair option and found something that interested her.
[Optional Fixes:]
【1. Dimensional Biometric Information Identification Function (Consumes 0.1% Energy)】
2. Advanced Storage Function (Consumes 0.2% Energy)
3. Gene analysis function (consumes 0.1% energy)
After thinking it over, Xu Milu felt that the interdimensional biological information identification function and the advanced storage function were more important. She originally wanted to exchange for the gene analysis function all at once, but then she considered that if danger occurred, the extra energy might save her life, so she decided to repair it next time.
[Under repair... 11%, 24%, 56%, 88%, 99%, 100%]
[The dimensional biometric identification function and advanced storage function have been fixed.]
Advanced storage functionality is now available. Simply click "Store" to use it.
The biometric identification function is more like a more detailed data set, but the advanced storage function is what truly delighted Xu Milu.
