Lin Qixia was taken aback when she heard this: "So you don't require me to touch you to perform the test?"
Remote testing is so convenient.
[Replying to the host, the previous system was an initial version with basic functionality. Now, with the increase in transaction volume, the version has been upgraded.]
Upon hearing this, Lin Qixia's expression suddenly changed: "Oh, I see! So besides remote detection, are there any other functions?"
【some】
Lin Qixia looked on expectantly, "What?"
There is a fee.
Lin Qixia, "..."
Never mind, she immediately gave up.
Having the ability to retrieve items remotely is pretty good.
As she spoke, Lin Qixia lifted her foot and walked in the direction the system had indicated.
However, she hadn't taken more than a few steps when the system's voice sounded again: [Host, be careful!]
"What's wrong?" Lin Qixia stopped and asked.
[There's a nest of snake eggs ahead, be careful.]
Upon hearing this, Lin Qixia's face instantly turned pale: "Maybe I shouldn't pick these herbs?"
She had read a science article that said if you accidentally touch the eggs of a certain cobra, it will retaliate.
I don't want to mess with that thing!
Just as Lin Qixia was hesitating and about to back out, the system prompted her: "[The patch of Atractylodes macrocephala ahead has been tested and found to weigh approximately ten jin, which can be sold for 30 gold coins.]"
Lin Qixia sighed, "Your system..."
He even went so far as to deliberately lure her with bait!
"Alright!" Lin Qixia clenched her fist, making up her mind: "For those 30 gold coins, this risk is worth it!"
Where there are snake eggs, the mother snake might be nearby.
Therefore, Lin Qixia found a stick to scare the snake away, and walked very carefully while striking it.
After finally reaching the vicinity of the Atractylodes macrocephala herb, each herb was covered in purple flowers, a truly pleasing sight.
Lin Qixia was almost reluctant to pick them.
[The system advised the host not to waste time and to pick the fruit quickly.]
"Oh." Lin Qixia snapped out of her reverie, frowning as she reached for the herbs. "Don't you have a feature that makes it easier for me to pick them? Like, I could just sweep my hand and they'd all go into my spatial storage?"
Picking them one by one is quite laborious and time-consuming.
The key issue was that there were snakes nearby, which frightened her and made her even less patient.
[This function is available, but it costs 10 gold coins to use once, host.]
Lin Qixia: "?"
For some reason, she detected a hint of disdain and contempt in the system's mechanical voice.
"Tch! You snob system, just you wait! I'll bury you in money sooner or later! I'll make full use of all your functions!" As she spoke, Lin Qixia's picking movements became increasingly ruthless.
The system then reminded her, "[It is recommended that the host handle the plant gently; damaging it will halve its price.]"
Lin Qixia: "..."
OK!
She was completely speechless now.
Although Lin Qixia picked the herbs quickly, she did so quietly.
It took her an hour to pick this patch of herbs.
After collecting everything, she stored it all in the system and then carefully withdrew from that area.
The transaction with the system was successful, and 30 gold coins were received.
The balance has increased to 33!
After working so hard for so long, Lin Qixia was covered in sweat, but when she saw her account balance, a smile finally appeared on her face: "Great! I have money again!"
Glug glug—
Her stomach started growling again, and Lin Qixia frowned.
I didn't eat a proper breakfast this morning because I don't like drinking porridge, and now I'm hungry again after only two hours of work.
So she simply asked the system, "What kind of breakfast is available?"
The next second, a row of breakfast options appeared in the system's shop window.
They have fried dough sticks, steamed buns, rice noodles, spicy soup, and all sorts of other things.
However, the prices are all above 5 gold coins, with the most cost-effective being three large meat buns for 5 gold coins.
"Then let's have steamed buns!" Lin Qixia spent 5 gold coins to buy three meat buns.
Each steamed bun was about the size of a fist, and Lin Qixia planned to eat two of them.
I'll take the last one back for my little niece.
She wrapped up the remaining bun and put it in the basket she carried with her, then took a big bite of it while holding another one in her hand.
Instantly, his cheeks were stuffed full, and his mouth was filled with the aroma of meat.
Lin Qixia squinted her eyes happily: "Mmm! These buns smell so good!"
It seems to be made with minced pork, with both lean and fatty parts, and also contains scallions and other seasonings, but the main ingredient is still meat.
Therefore, she enjoyed the meal immensely. She had eaten so many delicacies in modern times, but she had rarely eaten so happily!
Indeed, the fruits of labor easily bring happiness.
"We should go see if we can find anything else good!" Lin Qixia finished eating two steamed buns and then drank some water.
She installed the water supply at home before she left, not wanting to waste money buying it from the system.
After finishing her water, she packed up and continued her journey into the mountains.
The mountain behind Xiahe Village is actually quite high and covers a large area. Therefore, Lin Qixia doesn't plan to climb to the top, but rather to walk to the halfway point and then turn back.
After all, this is a road that nearby villagers often travel on, so it's relatively easy to walk on.
She has little outdoor experience, and it would be bad if she got lost and trapped in the mountains if she ventured any deeper. I don't even know if the system has a navigation function.
However, she then walked for several hours on a very difficult mountain path.
They walked until the sun was almost setting, but still hadn't found anything.
"Is that all we got today, those Atractylodes macrocephala herbs?" Lin Qixia muttered dejectedly.
Going any further would be dangerous, especially since it would be dark in less than an hour.
