If it weren't for his deliberate guidance, they wouldn't have made it this far.
"It's nothing, just get rid of this trash quickly, we need to get back to Beijing as fast as possible!"
Time is running out; they can't afford to waste any more time.

[Host, you should know that what you're doing is at most buying them a little time; it won't have much of an effect.]
Gu Zuozuo sighed; she knew.
"Every little bit helps, it's a top-grade Rejuvenation Pill after all, it must be of some use."
It would be good to have more time, so that the two elderly people could have more time to fulfill their grand ambitions.
1976...
"System, search keywords, query instruments related to earthquakes."
Having carefully studied Chinese history, the system understood its host's meaning and, without hesitation, displayed a light screen directly in front of Gu Zuozuo.
Rows of goods flashed by, and Gu Zuozuo stared intently at them.
[Host, this is a planetary-level disaster detection satellite.]
Deep Geological Intelligent Detector
Disaster Alarm System...
"Do you think these are useful with our current level of technology?"
The system remained silent for a moment.
The products on the screen were simplified again and again until only two remained.
[Host, these are things you can afford right now, and things that your current level of technology allows you to use.]
[Earthquake monitoring radar, covering an area of 12 million square kilometers, its main function is to detect geological changes within the covered area, and provide early warnings of river, lake, and sea course changes... requires points, exactly 2 million.]
[An all-around butler robot, primarily for companionship, capable in the living room and kitchen, able to fend off thugs and warm the bed! A true jack-of-all-trades! Most importantly, it has its own disaster warning system, ensuring its owner's safety at all times... It's just a bit pricey, requiring 3.5 million points.]
"A man?"
[Uh... don't be so strict about gender... cough cough... can be male or female or both]
Gu Zuozuo...?
So this is what your system is like?
Looking at the long string of zeros at the end, Gu Zuozuo felt melancholy. The important thing now was not the issue of men and women.
Instead...
Then I checked my balance, which showed 1.01 million points.
I sighed again, feeling my heart clench.
"Master, do you have a misunderstanding about the phrase 'I can afford it'?"
The system also sighed softly, its electronic, childlike voice inexplicably becoming desolate.
[Host, all the others start with tens of millions; you simply can't afford them.]
Gu Zuozuo fell silent. So it was because she was unworthy. Being poor was the original sin. It was disheartening to find out she was bad at video games.
[Host, don't worry, you still have a year. You can save up slowly.]
Gu Zuozuo rolled her eyes.
What?
It sounds simple! The question is, how do you collect them?
She had been selling cicada nymphs and wild medicinal herbs in her space shop for several years... and only then did she manage to raise her points to one million, plus an extra ten thousand.
And now they want her to raise the money? How is she supposed to do that?
Next September will see an unprecedented earthquake; if we still can't raise enough money, wouldn't it be even more devastating?
[Host, given your current standing in their eyes, you can be direct and honest; they might believe you.]
Gu Zuozuo wanted to be direct, but that involved an entire city. She was afraid that people wouldn't believe her if she spoke up.
never mind!
If she can't raise enough money, she simply won't buy it; at most, she'll tie everyone up with vines on the day of the earthquake!
The system couldn't hold back and crashed for two seconds, almost causing smoke to rise from above.
[Host, your wood-type ability is only level eight right now, what are you daydreaming about?]
Gu Zuozuo's face darkened.
Does the system not understand what self-comfort means?
