"Lin Zhiqing, you actually bought a bicycle."
Lin Qing was seen by Wang Haoran, who came out to use the toilet, as soon as she pushed her bicycle into the yard.
Upon hearing Wang Haoran's voice, everyone at the educated youth settlement came out and gathered around, their eyes filled with envy and curiosity.
"This bicycle is really beautiful!" Someone couldn't help but reach out and touch the handlebars.
"Yes! This is the only bicycle our brigade has!"
"..."
The educated youth gathered around the bicycle, chattering excitedly.
"That's so cool! I want my dad to get me a bicycle ticket too!"
Wang Haoran said enviously.
"Where did she get so much money to buy it?" Chen Zhaodi whispered to another educated youth, her eyes bloodshot.
Lin Qing watched as everyone enthusiastically discussed her new car and didn't want to take Chen Zhaodi's sarcastic remarks to heart.
“When I graduated, my dad said he would buy me a bicycle, but before he could buy it, I had to go to the countryside. So my dad gave me the ticket and money. Today I went to the county town and saw that the department store was selling them, so I just bought them.”
Everyone circled the bicycle several times, praising it repeatedly.
"It will be much more convenient for us to go out from now on!"
"Yes, with this car, we can go to farther places."
...
Looking at everyone's excited expressions, Lin Qing felt a surge of emotion. People in this era were so happy about a bicycle; who could have imagined that there would be even more and better means of transportation in the future? And the bicycles that people can't afford now will eventually be phased out.
That night, Lin Qing lay in bed, her soul entering her spatial dimension. She had signed in at the scrap yard that day and received a pair of rosewood chairs and a chaise lounge. She didn't know the workings of the trade, but how could she possibly get such items at a scrap yard?
Lin Qing moved the rose chairs from the system storage to the thatched hut. There stood a pair of rose chairs carved from huanghuali wood, exuding a rustic yet elegant aura. Their lines were smooth, simple yet beautiful; Lin Qing fell in love with them at first sight. Lin Qing remembered that these rose chairs were also called "Miss's Chairs," a standard accessory for young ladies in ancient times. They flourished during the Ming Dynasty. She wondered if these rose chairs were antiques. But they looked quite new, as if no one had ever used them.
After admiring the rosewood chair, Lin Qing brought out the chaise lounge. Even more beautiful than the rosewood chair, the chaise lounge was made entirely of sandalwood. Exquisite carvings adorned it, resembling flowers and vines, or auspicious patterns, the designs subtly adding to its elegance and luxury.
I've heard that this sandalwood is extremely expensive, rare even in ancient times, and even more precious in modern times. Lin Qing felt like she had really struck gold. If all sign-in sessions were done this way from now on, wouldn't she be set for life?
"What are you dreaming about? These two pieces of furniture are a gift from me. Otherwise, how do you think I could have gotten these things from the junkyard? Only that stack of old newspapers was from signing in."
"You gave this to me? Where did you get this kind of thing from?!"
Lin Qing asked curiously. The system could actually give her things.
"Well, you wouldn't know, would you? I've existed for so many years, how could I not have my own little treasury!" the system said smugly. It had been feeling guilty for forgetting to tell Lin Qing that the spiritual spring water could heal Gu Nanxun's leg. After searching for a while, it finally found these two pieces of furniture. Thinking that Lin Qing's thatched hut was currently unfurnished, it decided to give them out as a gift during the daily check-in. (The system clearly overlooked the fact that Lin Qing also had a shopping mall in her warehouse! What kind of furniture wasn't in the mall? It's just that Lin Qing disliked the thatched hut and was too lazy to clean it.)
"Then why did you give me this?"
Lin Qing asked curiously, wondering why the system had suddenly given her something.
"I'm just taking pity on you because there's nothing in your thatched hut."
The system said awkwardly.
"Then please have pity on me from now on! Look how hard I work farming every day. Or could you give me a pill that can cure Nanxun's leg?"
Lin Qing asked expectantly, "If the system has medicine, can it heal Nanxun's leg sooner?"
"I don't get sick, so how could I possibly have that kind of thing? Most of the things in my little treasury are things I can use, and there's not much that you humans can actually use. Besides, you've worked hard farming, haven't you? Isn't that just something you think about?"
"Cough cough..."
"It's actually quite tough, since you can only plant a limited number of times each day, and leveling up is too slow."
"This is slow? Wheat only takes 16 hours to mature. Look how long it takes to grow wheat outside."
"Isn't it because we're in a hurry to treat Brother Nanxun's leg?"
After hearing what the system said, Lin Qing said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Don't worry, if I have one in the future, I will definitely give it to you. After all, Gu Nanxun was my previous host."
"System, you're so kind! Thank you so much!"
Lin Qing was quite moved. After all, without the system, she wouldn't be who she is today, especially since it had helped her save Nan Xun. Lin Qing was genuinely grateful to the system.
After looking at the furniture, Lin Qing turned and looked around. The thatched hut and the furniture clashed terribly; it was like a piece of gold falling into the mud. "Waaah..." I really want to upgrade!
"The host can upgrade."
The system sensed Lin Qing's desire to upgrade the thatched hut and therefore offered advice.
"No, I still need to save up points to treat Nanxun's leg."
Lin Qing shook her head fiercely, determined to hold on.
"However, accumulating points requires constantly farming, and farming can upgrade the space. You'll probably have to wait until you've accumulated enough points before the space reaches level 5."
"Is that so? In other words, upgrading your space is easier than accumulating points."
"Of course, the main reason is that opening an interstellar plane requires too many points."
"System, why does it take 1,000 points to open the ancient plane, but 1 million points to open the interstellar plane? The difference is too big."
"Because the ancient plane is a backward plane compared to yours, it can be opened with very few points. But the interstellar plane is too advanced. Its technology far surpasses that of your current plane, so it requires more points."
"Oh! I see! What about cultivation worlds? How many points are needed?"
"10 million."
"..."
Knowing that the space upgrade would happen earlier, Lin Qing stopped accumulating points.
"System upgrade: thatched hut".
"Ding... Gold coins deducted, thatched hut successfully upgraded. Please check."
Lin Qing looked up and saw that the dilapidated thatched hut was gone, replaced by a beautiful little wooden house, which was more than three times the size of the original thatched hut.
Upon seeing the beautiful little wooden house, Lin Qing couldn't wait to go inside.
