Temporary Mission: Shen Qinghe's Request
Mission Details: Shen Qinghe is on her way to the capital because her brother has achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations. However, she faces discrimination due to her appearance and wants to change her fate.
Task Reward: Spread the word, add a unique logo to the inn's products to further increase the inn's popularity, and receive one raffle ticket.
Do you want to accept the call?
Of course, choose "Yes"!
When An Ge encountered a temporary task for the first time, she couldn't help but wonder: what exactly is the pattern of the system issuing tasks?
When Shen Qinghe rushed to the main hall, she saw An Ge, who was aloof and seemed detached from worldly affairs. She couldn't help but swoon for a moment, feeling somewhat ashamed of herself, and couldn't take a step forward.
An Ge snapped out of her reverie and saw the hesitant girl. She smiled and nodded at her.
Shen Qinghe's heart skipped a beat. After hesitating for a moment, she mustered her courage and asked cautiously, "Shopkeeper, do you have anything that can make me a little less dark?"
An Ge sized up the girl. Her features and skin were slightly darker than average, but upon closer inspection, her features were delicate, and her large eyes were particularly captivating.
In her view, such skin tone was nothing to worry about; on the contrary, it possessed a healthy and wild beauty. In her past life, there were even celebrities who considered black skin beautiful. But in this era, it would probably attract attention.
As if remembering something, An Ge suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
"My daughter is Shen Qinghe." Shen Qinghe looked nervous.
As expected! An Ge's doubts were confirmed.
The tasks issued by the system are all traceable and will only be triggered when they encounter relevant people or events.
So, when exactly did she come into contact with people related to Xiao Chen?
An Ge quickly recalled the people she had met in her mind and then put them aside. The mission progress was still 0, which meant that no clues had appeared yet, so she simply put it aside and completed the task at hand first.
Seeing Shen Qinghe's expectant eyes, An Ge thought for a moment and bought a set of whitening cosmetics from the system shop. Unlike the false advertising of those merchants in her previous life, An Ge was confident in the quality of the items produced in the shop.
"This is a full-body whitening set. Just follow the instructions. Whitening requires a gradual process, so don't rush it."
Shen Qinghe originally just wanted to give it a try, but she never expected that the opportunity to change her fate would come like this.
She looked at the exceptionally exquisite items, her eyes welling up with tears of emotion.
"Thank you, shop manager. I will never forget your great kindness." She decided to recite scriptures for the shop manager every day from now on, so that he could receive incense offerings.
Fortunately, An Ge was unaware of Shen Qinghe's thoughts; otherwise, she would rather fail the mission than be worshipped like an ancestor.
An Ge said with a smile, "It's just a small matter, you don't need to worry about it too much. It's worth 1,000 points."
Shen Qinghe's touched smile froze on her face.
It wasn't that she was stingy with the money; although her family were farmers, they had some assets, only ten taels. She just felt that something was off about how this ethereal person spoke.
An Ge looked at the income with satisfaction. There were many novel items in the mall. She could take out some of the less outrageous items to sell, which would also help promote the inn.
She became more and more excited as she thought about it; she had finally found a new way to get rich!
Shen Qinghe went back home in a daze, clutching the cosmetics, and only came to her senses when she got back to her room.
"Where did you run off to, you brat? You can't just wander around in this sacred place, lest you offend the immortals." Old Mrs. Shen was furious when she saw her silly granddaughter.
"Grandma, the store manager has a way to help me become normal again. I can finally live a normal life!" Shen Qinghe hugged the old lady Shen happily, tears streaming down her face.
"Good! Good! Good!" Grandma Shen was stunned for a moment, then stroked her granddaughter's hair and praised her repeatedly. She had raised her granddaughter from a young age, and she knew better than anyone how much her granddaughter longed to be normal.
Shen Qinghe couldn't wait to use it according to the instructions. The product, called shower gel, smelled wonderful, even better than the expensive incense of a noble lady. There was also a facial cleanser, and after using it, her face felt much refreshed.
Shen Qinghe stood in front of the clear mirror, examining herself carefully for the first time. Looking at her dark face reflected in the bronze mirror, she no longer felt the inferiority she used to have.
Dinner, as always, amazed everyone. Even the usually frugal Old Mrs. Shen didn't hesitate to eat two large bowls of rice noodles without a second thought.
Grandma Shen felt that her life was complete. Although she had suffered a lot as a widow at a young age, her son and daughter-in-law were filial, her grandson had become a top scholar, and now she had even met a celestial being. She was more blessed than the five blessed people in the town.
After everyone finished eating, An Ge asked Zhao Yong, "What kind of business do you all do?"
Zhao Yong nervously rubbed his hands together and replied, "I'll bring some furs from the north to the city to sell and make a profit. Huaixi City has a cold winter, and the consumption of furs is extremely high."
"I'd like to discuss a business deal with you. Are you interested?"
Shen Qinghe stared infatuated at An Ge, who was talking business with Uncle Zhao with an ethereal air, ignoring the strange disharmony in her mind, and silently took a sip of water.
Others talk about money, which is considered vulgar. The fairy isn't after money; she's clearly here to help Uncle Zhao.
Zhao Yong was flattered and asked, "What kind of business does the store manager want to discuss?"
An Ge pointed to the instant noodles, rice noodles and other foods on the shelf and said, "These foods are convenient to eat and taste good. If the caravan takes them to the city to sell, they should have no trouble finding a market. Are you interested in doing this business?"
Zhao Yong was overjoyed. He had originally thought he wouldn't make much money from this business trip, but he never expected such a pleasant surprise.
The two hit it off immediately and agreed on the items they needed that very night.
