With a thought, a transparent screen appeared before my eyes.
The screen shows something similar to Taobao, with a dazzling array of products.
Tian Sangui was overjoyed. Could this be the legendary system space?
My goodness, with this thing in hand, why worry about food and drink? Just start building a house!
As the pictures scrolled before her eyes, she tried pointing her finger at a picture of pork with three layers of fat and excellent quality meat.
"Beep beep!"
Can't tap? The touchscreen is already unresponsive before I've even used it? Looks like the quality is really bad.
Try pressing it a few more times...
"Beep beep!" The same sound.
Tian Sangui was puzzled. What? Was he doing something wrong? Did he need a secret code?
"Open Sesame?"
"......"
No response? Try another one: "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger?"
"......"
Could it be that code?
"Potato, potato, am I a sweet potato?"
"Beep! Beep! Beep!~"
Seeing the scrolling text on the screen moving rapidly, Tian Sangui was secretly delighted. Finally, there was some movement! Ha, she can be stumped by something as simple as this? What a joke.
Before she could even feel smug for a few seconds, the screen in front of her instantly transformed into a flying dog robot, its eyes red as it stared at the simple-minded Tian Sangui.
Before she could figure out what was going on, the dog pulled out a frying pan from somewhere, exhaled two puffs of white smoke from its nostrils, and then raised the pan high and smacked Tian Sangui twice on the head.
Does this silly host even know how to play? It has already reminded it many times that it needs to complete the objective, but it just ignores it and keeps talking nonsense. It's like it's just making potato stew with mushrooms.
Damn, this is the first time I've ever met such a simpleton. I'm really annoyed by her.
"Holy crap...you hit me?" Tian Sangui reacted too late; she caught the frying pan squarely with her head.
He immediately covered his head, squatted down, and forced back tears of pain. This guy, not only did he not give me anything, but he also hit me.
Seeing her enduring the pain, Fei Wangwang felt relieved and began to introduce himself: "Hello, Master, I am Fei Wangwang, who is also the mall administrator."
When she heard the dog speak, she jumped up and, taking advantage of its momentary lapse in attention, grabbed it in her hand and started playing with it like a ball, a wicked grin spreading across her face.
A dog is a dog. Why make it fly like that? Does giving yourself a fancy name mean you're no longer a dog?
If word got out that Tian Sangui was bullied by a dog, wouldn't people laugh their heads off?
We must return it; we must return it to it, so that it may know the wickedness of human nature.
Fortunately, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu had run far away and were having so much fun playing in the grass that they didn't notice Tian Sangui for the time being.
Her parents and brothers were busy cleaning the thatched hut and didn't have time to come out, which gave her a private space.
Poor Fei Wangwang was beaten so badly that it couldn't get away. Unexpectedly, this host had an even bigger temper than it and was even more ruthless than the previous one. Good heavens, why has it always been matched with hosts like this over the years? It thought that by striking first, it could intimidate the other party, but instead, it angered the other party and suffered a beating.
"I was wrong, please stop hitting me, please stop hitting me. Don't you want to achieve your goal and earn your first pot of gold as soon as possible?"
Hmm? So, dogs have a way to make money?
Upon hearing that he could make money, Tian Sangui finally stopped patting it temporarily.
"Goal? Tell me about it?"
Fei Wangwang could finally catch his breath, but if he wanted to escape her grasp, he had to keep saying something useful.
"Yes, Master. The goal is to earn ten coins to unlock the pork you just wanted, as well as other fruits, vegetables, and a series of other items."
So, if you complete the goal, you can unlock more items... Hmm~ That's pretty interesting.
What features are currently unlocked?
After understanding the situation, Tian Sangui realized why she couldn't open the app earlier.
Upon hearing this, Fei Wangwang took advantage of her inattention to escape her grasp and, before Tian Sangui could glare at it, turned back into the transparent screen it had been before.
She was given the three initial unlocked items: tomatoes, cabbage, and red peppers. That was it.
"That's too little. How can you eat tomatoes without eggs?"
What a terrible system, so stingy.
"Don't worry, Master. You can take the tomatoes to the market and sell them. You'll get ten coins quickly. The system will automatically unlock some items like eggs, spices, and meat for you."
The dog's suggestion is indeed feasible; wouldn't that solve our immediate problem?
"Okay, so how do I get the food out, and what should I use to put it in?"
This is a problem. We can't just hold it in our hands. If such a delicious dish suddenly appears, it will definitely arouse suspicion from the Tian family. It's better to let Gouzi handle it.
"Don't worry, Master. Just click on the vegetables you want and their weight, and the system will automatically frame them and put them in the warehouse in the lower right corner for you to access at any time."
You only need to think about it, and the basket will naturally appear in front of you; no one will suspect anything.
That's great? Hehe, she's really struck gold! Let's go to town with Tian Laosi tomorrow and see how it goes.
Praise the dog, do as it says, take out twenty pounds of large, red tomatoes and put them into the system's built-in basket, then click on the warehouse to put them in.
I happily retracted the system, and the screen in front of me disappeared automatically.
After the family members reclaimed the house, they all came out. The first thing they did was look at Tian Sangui, who was still sunbathing, with concern, thinking that she was unusually obedient and honest today.
Tian Laosi grinned and told Zhang Shi, "I've taken the eldest and second eldest sons up the mountain. You stay home and take care of things. If you can't do it, I'll leave it to you when I get back."
"Hey, you and your son need to be careful going up the mountain, and come back soon!"
"Don't worry, Mom. Third Sister, we're leaving now. Be good and stay home to play, don't run around!"
Tian Da looked to be around fifteen years old, and was as tall as Tian Lao Si, but he was so thin he looked like a skeleton, which was a bit heartbreaking.
Tian Er was a year younger, and although he wasn't as tall as Tian Da, he was also incredibly thin.
Tian Sangui waved to them in response, which surprised the three fathers and sons. They had never expected Sangui to greet them, and he had never done so before.
Could it be true, as Mother said, that she has grown up and become sensible?
Since their daughter and sister rarely greeted them, they were naturally overjoyed, waving back and turning back repeatedly as they disappeared into the bushes.
Seeing the changes in her daughter, Zhang didn't think much of it; she just felt happy and became more cheerful.
"San Gui, I'm going to the village to borrow some cooking utensils. Your father and the others will be back from digging wild vegetables soon, so we can cook them. You and your brothers stay here and watch the house. I'll be back in a bit."
"Oh, Mother, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll look after things at home."
Hearing the obedient and sensible voice, Zhang felt relieved and went out.
As the sun rose higher, smoke soon began to rise from the village chimneys, carrying a delicate aroma that reached Tian Sangui's nostrils. His stomach, which had been completely empty of hunger, could no longer resist the allure.
The "glug" sound signaled that it was hungry.
Looking towards the distant mountains, they couldn't see any of Tian Laosi or his group.
At this time, Zhang returned from the village. She was full of energy before she left, but why did she become listless when she came back?
It wasn't until she entered the courtyard that she realized her hands were empty.
"Mother, didn't you say you wanted to borrow something? Did you not manage to borrow it?"
Tian Sangui ran over and helped her into the house. Zhang Shi's anger rose again when she heard about this.
"Hmph, a bunch of stingy people, won't even lend me a broken pot, and they're even laughing at me for dividing the family property. Bah, who cares? When your father gets his wages tomorrow, we'll buy a new one. I'm going to show it off in front of them and make those gossipy women sick. Hmph."
Judging from what she said, Zhang not only failed to borrow the cooking utensils, but also suffered a lot of anger at the gossipy woman. No wonder she came back like this.
"Mother, don't be angry. Getting angry will only make them laugh at you. It's just a bite to eat. You won't die from going hungry for a day."
Seeing that San Gui was so open-minded, what else did she have to worry about? It was only a day, not that hard to get through.
"Mother isn't angry. We'll teach them a lesson tomorrow."
Zhang was so angry that she stomped her feet, just like a child. Tian Sangui smiled and patted her back to calm her down.
Although she had vegetables in her space, she didn't have any cooking utensils, which was really difficult for the skilled cook.
As the mother and daughter were talking, the three men, father and sons, returned to the yard one after the other, carrying firewood, wild vegetables, and several bundles of wild grass.
When Zhang saw Tian Laosi, she went up to him like a young girl, tilted her head up and told her husband about her grievances, her forehead resting on his broad and strong chest, which he had developed from working, and swayed gently as if she were being coquettish.
Tian Sangui secretly envied the relationship between Zhang and Tian Laosi. According to the original owner's memories, Zhang and Tian Laosi fell in love at first sight and had a deep affection for each other.
Zhang's family had no parents besides her elder brother and sister-in-law. For their sister's happiness, her brother and sister-in-law agreed to let her marry Tian Laosi. They also knew what kind of person Tian Laosi's mother was and did not want to break up their sister's relationship. So they decided not to accept a bride price and instead give her a quilt as part of her dowry.
As a result, Yun was not satisfied and spread rumors that Zhang was a lowly woman who had given herself to the Tian family, ruining her reputation in Tianjia Village.
It's only because Zhang has a good personality that she's allowed to cause trouble. If it were someone like Tian Sangui, he would have buried Yun long ago, and wouldn't have allowed her to run around outside.
"It's alright, Mother. Didn't Third Sister say that at worst, we won't die from starving for a day?"
Tian threw the wild vegetables in his hand on the ground and tried to persuade Zhang.
Tian Sangui looked at the tender green wild vegetables on the ground and thought that although he didn't have cooking utensils, he could try other ways to cook them.
So she ran to the wild vegetables and said to her family, "We can roast these wild vegetables and eat them!"
"Testing wild vegetables?"
