Chapter 3 Going Home
Startled by 011's shout, Gu Xinyan said, "Alright, alright, I know. Don't you know your host was frightened by this sudden outburst?"
[Hehe, I was just so excited to see them!]
011 twisted its body sheepishly, after all, this was its first task. Once it was completed, it could officially start working and wouldn't have to worry about being taken back by the main system all the time.
Seeing 011's sudden awkwardness, Gu Xinyan shook her head helplessly, then turned to look at Xilaier in front of her and handed the bag in her hand forward.
"Here, I have a bag of things here. Do you need it? If so, I can sell it to you!"
Upon hearing this, Xilaier reached out with trembling hands and took the bag, looking at the plump white steamed buns inside.
There were also buckets of brightly colored instant noodles. Xilaier couldn't help but swallow, pressing his slightly rebellious stomach, and asked uncertainly.
"Um... um, are you really going to sell this? But... but I don't have any star coins!"
Cyril was a little embarrassed. She really hadn't expected that this beautiful woman was actually there to sell things, but now that the goods were right in front of her, she didn't know what to do.
Hearing Xilai's words, Gu Xinyan was both amused and exasperated. It seemed that this little girl thought she was asking her for money, but she quickly realized what she meant.
She didn't have any star coins, so how could they be traded? Thinking this, she looked at 011 with a puzzled expression.
[Host, our shop accepts barter; anything is acceptable.]
The mention of 011 relieved Cyril; at least it didn't cost any Star Coins. Then, as if remembering something, he said somewhat apologetically...
"Excuse me, could you wait here for a moment while I go inside to get something for you?"
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Xinyan to speak, he turned around and ran into his secret base. A short while later, he came out carrying a very old and worn-out box.
"This is a spatial ring I found before. See if it's enough. If not, I... I'll go back in and look for more for you."
Cyril was a little nervous, after all, this was the only valuable thing she had, which she had found inside the spaceship when it was first discovered. But she didn't dare to use it, fearing that it would be stolen by the people in the city.
After all, something like this could be exchanged for a considerable amount of star coins at the recycling center, but she didn't dare to gamble. Since she was all alone, even if she got the star coins, she probably wouldn't be able to keep them in the end. So, she might as well use them to exchange for some food.
"Empty?...A spatial ring?" Gu Xinyan stared at the box with shining eyes.
She never expected to see something so precious; it was the first time she had ever seen anything like it.
However, seeing Xilai'er's nervous appearance, Gu Xinyan couldn't help but feel sorry for her. After all, the girl didn't seem to be doing very well, but the temptation of the spatial ring was just too great.
You see, this spatial ring means she has a portable storage space, which will make things much more convenient for her when she goes on missions in the future, and she can bring more things with her.
"That's enough, that's enough. The value of this spatial ring far exceeds that of this food, so you can have it instead."
Gu Xinyan smiled and took the box, her eyes filled with delight as she looked at the silver spatial ring in her hand.
Upon hearing Gu Xinyan's words, Xilaier was somewhat incredulous. She hadn't expected that this spatial ring could be exchanged for so much food. After all, on a garbage planet, being able to eat one's fill was the most important thing.
Seeing Xilaier happily hugging the bag, Gu Xinyan smiled and said goodbye to her.
"Alright, now that the change is done, I'll be going. Little girl, see you next time!"
After saying that, Gu Xinyan turned to 011 and said, "011, let's go back!"
[Yes! Host, teleporting in progress... Ding! Teleportation successful! Host, you have returned to Earth!]
As 011 finished speaking, Cyril saw the woman in front of him suddenly disappear. After a moment of surprise, he looked at what he was holding in his arms and couldn't help but kneel down with a "thump," muttering to himself.
"Fairy sister! Thank you, fairy sister, for bringing me food!"
Gu Xinyan, who had just returned to the store, found that the store door had been closed. After looking around in confusion for a moment, she finally saw a note on the counter.
Then I realized that the rider had closed the door, and I was relieved.
He probably closed the door for her because she wasn't in the store, and then turned his attention to 011.
"011, how do you use this spatial ring? Can you just wear it and use it?"
[Host, once you put it on, you only need to connect with it using your mental energy, and then you can use it freely.]
After listening, Gu Xinyan nodded, but she still didn't quite understand the mental connection. Nevertheless, she put the spatial ring on her finger as 011 had instructed.
Unexpectedly, the moment she put it on, she felt a strange sensation, followed by the feeling of an empty room about the size of her current shop, roughly 100 square meters.
"This spatial ring is so big! It's the same size as my shop!" Gu Xinyan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
[Host, you're lucky. The spatial ring you exchanged for is level 3, so naturally, the space inside is quite large.]
Upon hearing 011's words, Gu Xinyan nodded in understanding and suddenly realized that she could exchange that package for this ring.
I've taken advantage of that young girl a bit. Oh well, I'll just make it up to her next time I go.
"By the way, 011, when is our next time travel?"
The little white cat, which had been lazily lying in the air, immediately perked up upon hearing this and quickly replied.
[Host, your second time travel will be the night after tomorrow. We don't know how long you'll be there this time, so it's best to prepare more things!]
Gu Xinyan was taken aback when she heard this. She had just asked casually, but she didn't expect that the second time travel would be the day after tomorrow. She panicked a little.
"I said, isn't this a bit too rushed? Also, will I be protected when I travel to that time? Will I encounter any danger?"
Also, if I travel back in time, will I bring back viruses or something from other worlds? If that's the case, I'm not going.
[Host, don't worry, there will be no danger. When you go on a mission, the system has a protective shield that will ensure you are not in any danger.]
The things the host is worried about won't happen, because the system has automatic filtering; the moment the host returns, all viruses will be filtered out.
