Lin Cuiying crossed her arms and said, "I'll give you fifteen minutes. If you don't give me a reply by then, I think switching to a different system would be a good idea!"
The scholar in the blue robe panicked immediately: "No, no, no, I'll ask for permission right away, I'll ask for permission right away!"
He closed his eyes tightly, his body trembling slightly, as if he were really communicating with some superior.
Lin Cuiying couldn't help but laugh when she saw his expression.
This system is hilarious; it always manages to come up with new and interesting ways to play with it.
After a while, the scholar in the green robe opened his eyes and looked at Lin Cuiying with a bitter expression: "Host, I have asked my superiors, and they can only give you a maximum of three chances to draw a prize."
"Three times?" Lin Cuiying frowned. "Add a little more."
The scholar in the blue robe shook his head vigorously: "No, no, three times is the limit, I can't do any more than that."
Lin Cuiying pondered for a moment, then suddenly revealed a sly smile: "How about this, you take a step forward, and I'll take a step back, nine chances will do."
The scholar in the blue robe looked troubled: "Host, isn't this retreat a bit too little?"
Lin Cuiying feigned anger: "You think it's too little? Then I won't return it!"
The scholar in the blue robe looked miserable: "Host, please don't make things difficult for me. Three times is really my limit."
"Three times? Then I won't hold back. I don't care about this system anymore!"
After saying this, Lin Cuiying had already mentally asked if she wanted to change the system.
Seeing this, the scholar in the blue robe hurriedly stopped her: "Host, please don't switch! Let me try again, let me try again!"
He closed his eyes again and began to "ask for instructions".
This time, his facial expressions were even more exaggerated, sometimes gritting his teeth and sometimes looking distressed, which made Lin Cuiying unable to help but laugh.
After a while, the scholar in the green robe opened his eyes and looked at Lin Cuiying with a helpless expression: "Host, I have tried my best, but the superiors can only give you a maximum of five chances to draw prizes."
"Five times?" Lin Cuiying was secretly delighted, but her face remained expressionless. "Add a little more."
The scholar in the green robe was almost in tears: "Host, five times is really the limit. Any more and I'll be fired!"
Seeing his expression, Lin Cuiying stopped teasing him and said, "Fine, five times it is, deal!"
The scholar in the blue robe breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, host, for your great mercy!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a virtual lottery wheel appeared in front of Lin Cuiying.
"Host, please begin your lottery!" The scholar in the green robe looked at her expectantly.
"Keep it up for me. When it's nine times, I'll have another one."
As she spoke, Lin Cuiying picked up her basket and walked back.
While walking down the street, I remembered that I had dug up some he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum), and asked the system, "Do you buy back this he shou wu?"
The system's pop-up voice announced: "Host, whatever you want, my system shop will recycle anything! I'll even take rotten vegetable leaves!"
Lin Cuiying rolled her eyes: "Who would sell you rotten vegetable leaves for no reason? Do you think I'm stupid?"
The system suddenly changed its clothes, looking like a shrewd businessman, crossed its legs, and looked Lin Cuiying up and down: "You're not stupid, you're smart, so why are you asking about He Shou Wu? You're just poor and want to sell your treasures to make money!"
Lin Cuiying's lips twitched; the system was acting up again.
She said irritably, "I was just asking a question, did you have to resort to personal attacks?"
Upon hearing this, the system immediately put on a fawning smile: "Oh dear, host, don't be angry, I was just joking."
It changed into a waiter's clothes, with a white towel draped over its shoulder, and bowed and scraped at Lin Cuiying: "Well then, let me take a look at this He Shou Wu... Oh, it's an old He Shou Wu! Good stuff!"
Lin Cuiying raised an eyebrow: "How much is it worth?"
The system extended five fingers.
Lin Cuiying tentatively asked, "Fifty taels?"
The system rolled its eyes, changed into the clothes of a wealthy landlord, held a pipe in its hand, and crossed its legs: "Fifty taels? Why don't you just rob someone? Five taels!"
"Five taels?" Lin Cuiying raised her voice. "Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"
The system feigned dizziness: "Ouch, host, don't shout, I'm dizzy... How about this, since we're so familiar with each other, I'll add another ounce, six ounces, that's the most I can give you!"
"Fifty taels, not a penny less!"
The system immediately lay down on the ground and threw a tantrum: "What does it matter to me whether you sell or not? I only have six taels! Not a tael more! Waaah... Poor system, the host is raising the price on the spot, I can't live like this anymore!"
Lin Cuiying's lips twitched violently as she turned and walked away, saying, "Fine, don't buy it then! I'll take it to town and sell it!"
The system thought Lin Cuiying was really angry, so it didn't dare to joke anymore. It quickly got up, changed into a long robe, and put on a serious expression: "Hey, host, don't be angry! I was just teasing you!"
"Are you kidding me? Is it that funny?" Lin Cuiying lifted the basket on her back, saw a few wild vegetables by the roadside, and casually dug them up and put them in the basket.
The long-robed system put on a fawning smile again: "This isn't fun, this isn't fun, host, please don't take it to heart."
Lin Cuiying snorted: "So, are you going to accept it or not?"
The Long-Robed System scratched its head: "Accept, of course I'll accept! But, host, I have a suggestion, I wonder if you'd be willing to listen?"
Lin Cuiying raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it."
The system said seriously, "You can take this He Shou Wu back to your family first, so they can see your skills. You can sell it to me after they've seen it."
Lin Cuiying frowned: "Why should I show it to them?"
The system, now dressed as a wise man, stroked its goatee and adopted a mysterious air: "Host, think about it. If you sell these things to me, you'll have more money in your space. When you go to town to buy things, you'll need an explanation, right? You can't exactly say you found all this money, can you?"
Lin Cuiying suddenly realized: "You're right!"
The Wise System chuckled: "Of course! But, host, don't sell me out later!"
Lin Cuiying rolled her eyes: "Who would sell you? Do you think I'm that bored?"
The Wise System changed into a waiter's uniform and draped a white towel over its shoulders: "Aren't you bored, host? I'm a treasure! By the way, didn't you ask me if I'd even accept rotten vegetable leaves? Yes! I'll accept anything you bring! And you can tell everyone you went to the mountains to dig up medicinal herbs!"
Lin Cuiying smiled: "That's a good idea!"
The original owner's family knew some common herbs, but they usually only used them at home.
Moreover, those common herbs, even if sold to the town's pharmacy, wouldn't fetch much money, wasting both time and energy.
But things are different now. The system wants to collect it, so...
