System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality
Chapter 3 What’s left to lose?
Fortunately, I saw that I only had 210 copper coins in my pocket. Fortunately, the system was powerful and the task was issued directly. Otherwise, I would have to beg for money all the way to Tiansheng City.
Judging from the map, Changliu Village belongs to the southeastern region of Chu State, while Tiansheng City is in the northernmost part of Chu State. The straight-line distance between the two places is about 1600 kilometers. Even if Shen Xia does not eat or drink in a day, he can only walk 30 kilometers without sleeping. It would still take more than two months to walk without relying on legs. No, we still had to find a caravan to go with us.
After Shen Xia finished shopping, she went to the town escort office to ask if there was a caravan going north to Tiansheng City. She learned that a caravan was leaving the day after tomorrow, but the cost was 3 taels of silver and food was not included.
Shen Xia said with tears in her eyes: "Uncle, I am the only one in my family. Before my father died, he asked me to go to Tiansheng City to find my second uncle and grandpa. I only have 2 taels of silver with me. Please, I am very tired." If you are capable, you can help with cooking, cooking, and washing clothes on the way. If you are kind-hearted, please let me go with you."
Although Shen Xia had put on clean clothes, she still looked sallow and thin. Perhaps the escort was moved by compassion and agreed to only charge Shen Xia 2 taels of silver. As for whether Shen Xia had any extra money for food? They are not really charitable.
After solving the biggest travel problem, Shen Xia hurried to the meeting point, paid the fare back to the village, and sat quietly in the car.
"Hey, Shen Xia, what a windfall have you made? You're dressed so well and bought so many things." The person who spoke was Chunhua, the daughter-in-law of Aunt Li's family in Changliu Village. Shen Xia would also go to her home on a regular basis. The family helps with farm work. Aunt Li is kind-hearted, but these spring flowers are not good.
"Stop teasing me," Shen Xia replied, "I was also lucky. I met the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou on the street. He was kind-hearted and saw that I was pitiful, so he signed a contract with me to let me go to Xiangmanlou. I work as a handyman in the building, and you see, this outfit was issued by Xiangmanlou. As for these things, I bought them with the money I borrowed from fellow villagers and the money I paid in advance."
Manxiang Restaurant is the largest restaurant in town. As for the rest, Shen Xia made it up anyway, and no one would really check it out.
After hearing this, Chunhua didn't want to explore anymore. She rolled her eyes and came forward again and said, "Chen Xia, you see our family has helped you a lot. Why, the things you bought are not as much as ours." ?You can't be such a white-eyed wolf."
Shen Xia originally planned to give some cakes to the villagers who had helped her. Although she had already planned to leave Changliu Village and Shen Xia was not someone who cared about other people's thoughts, it would still be very difficult if she decided to cultivate immortality. Paying attention to these causes and effects, just trying to get it together like this still makes me feel unhappy.
Shen Xia suppressed the discomfort in her heart and could only say: "Of course it is there. Thanks to everyone's daily care, when I get home and tidy up, I will definitely deliver it to my door." Chunhua received Shen Xia's promise and did not continue. Keep asking.
After returning home and putting everything away, Shen Xia divided the pastries she bought into different portions. Those who usually took more care of themselves, such as Aunt Wang, would give more, and those who were more demanding on their work would receive less reward. For example, Aunt Li gave less, and after sorting them, Shen Xia's family sent them over one by one, using the same rhetoric as she said to Chunhua on the ox cart.
Aunt Wang was even more reluctant to accept the pastry when she learned that it was a pastry Shen Xia bought with her salary advanced in advance.
Shen Xia had no choice but to say pitifully: "Auntie, I know you are a kind person. You are the one who cares about me the most. I have nothing to repay. I finally managed to make a living. Although these pastries are good for me." It's nothing to you, but it's the one I'm most willing to take. If you don't accept it, do you think you don't appreciate my intentions? I signed a long-term contract with that Xiangmanlou. I don't know when it will happen in the future. If you can return to Changliu Village, Auntie, please accept it."
After several attempts to push it away, Aunt Wang was willing to accept it. She turned around and stuffed Shen Xia with a new pair of shoes: "Auntie, I originally made these shoes for you. Fortunately, I caught up with them. You have to take care of Shen Xia from now on." Be good to yourself, my aunt will visit you when she has the chance to go to town."
Shen Xia's last gift was to Aunt Li's house. She saw Chunhua standing at the door of the house all the way away. Shen Xia walked quickly. Before she could call Aunt Li, Chunhua said to her first: "Hey, Shen Xia, you're finally here." Come on, let me see what good things you bought."
Shen Xia ignored her, called Aunt Li out of the room, gave the cake to Aunt Li, said a few words of thanks, then turned around and planned to leave. As soon as she turned around, Chun Xia said in a strange voice from the side: "Is that all? My family usually takes such good care of you, who are you going to send away with such a small thing?"
Shen Xia didn't want to talk to her at first, but her temper got the better of her, and she replied harshly: "My aunt's family is also a wealthy one, so why would they care about my little things? I know that my things won't be on the market, but this is also a big deal. With all my heart, if my aunt and sister-in-law don't like this thing of mine, you can give it back to me, I still want to save it for myself and eat a few bites from time to time."
At this time, Aunt Li came out to smooth things over: "Oh, Chunhua, what are you talking about? Shen Xia, you are serious. Auntie doesn't treat you as an outsider. From now on, when you go to work in Manxiang Building, remember to come back often." ." After hearing this, Shen Xia said no more and turned around to go home.
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of 'Repaying kindness to Changliu Village' and receiving the reward experience +10 luck +10 silver +2.5."
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for getting a pair of cloth shoes as a reward."
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for reaching level 2 and unlocking the backpack. Please keep up the host's efforts and create greater glory."
Shen Xia paused, wait, why is this reward wrong? Why is the promised silver missing?
"Xiao Ai! Xiao Ai!" Shen Xia hurriedly called the system.
"Yes, host, what do you need?"
"Why is there less silver in the reward? Where is the other silver? Why didn't I see it?"
"Host, all our task rewards are adjusted based on satisfaction. Since you gave a total of 10 gifts, the system randomly selected three objects to sense each other's satisfaction. Since one of them was not very satisfied, So you can only get 2.5 silver taels in total. In addition, you have unlocked the backpack function, and some of the future mission rewards will be directly stored in the backpack for your convenience."
Shen Xia quickly checked the functions of the backpack in her mind and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the silver coins.
"Then can you tell me who is dissatisfied?" Shen Xia asked.
"No, host, due to the principle of protecting privacy, we cannot disclose customer privacy to you. At the same time, we will also protect your privacy."
"My privacy is safe? What do you mean?" Shen Xia asked again. Unfortunately, Xiao Ai didn't answer this time. Shen Xia probably had too low authority, so she had limited access to things, so she could only wait until level 5. See Can you ask the customer service staff?
"Xiao Ai, can my backpack still be upgraded?" Shen Xia changed the question.
"Answer the host, yes, your current backpack has 10 spaces. As your level increases, some tasks will reward backpack space."
Shen Xia opened her character panel and checked her attributes.

Now, apart from the 2 taels of silver that need to be handed over to the caravan, Shen Xia only has 700 copper plates left. He originally planned to get 3 taels of silver for completing the task, but it would be a little easier to go north to Tiansheng City. Now it's better. I still have to continue to play the role of a poor little pitiful person, but I don’t know if the people in the caravan will accept her style.
The next day, Shen Xia did not choose to go out, but made all the flour into easy-to-storage steamed buns at home. She tried the storage function of the backpack. Similar items in one grid can be stacked up to 100, and the food has a preservation function.
Shen Xia put most of the steamed buns into his backpack, leaving only a dozen steamed buns, which he packed with clean cloth and put in the backpack. In addition, he put the few kitchen knives, rolling pins, hoes and various seasonings at home that could be used as weapons. After entering the backpack, regardless of whether it is useful or not, first fill the backpack compartments.
The basket contains only clothes, thin quilts, wild vegetables, water hyacinths and other items that appear to be large but not heavy. Once the lid is closed, who knows what is in her basket?
It was night, Shen Xia was lying on the bed, she felt her heart beating very fast. To be honest, it was a crazy decision to dare to go north with 700 copper coins in her pocket. She could have triggered a few more missions and saved enough. Let’s start again with a silver tael.
But she didn't want to wait anymore. She had been hoeing the ground for three months and eating cornstarch for three months. She still couldn't figure out the system. If she waited here, she didn't know how long she would have to wait. She came here to cultivate immortality. Yes, I don’t want to turn my back to the loess and my face to the sky.
Even if his journey north is full of unknowns, even if he only knows the names of Tianguan Sect, Qingyun City, and Tiansheng City, so what? No matter whether the balance of fate favors you or not, what else do you have to lose now?
