Chapter 32

A week passes in a flash.

It feels like Lu’s father and mother have only been here for two days, and now they are about to set off back to Beijing.

Lu Anning took the initiative to talk to Sui Jingxing the night before, intending that he must wake her up when he got up in the morning so that she must see her parents off in person.

Although they had only been in contact for a short week, she could feel that this couple loved her from the bottom of their hearts, just like her own biological parents.

Although they treated her as the original owner, since she occupied the original owner’s body, she should also treat her parents as her own parents.

“Lu Anning, you have to remember what your mother has said to you these days, okay?”

“Um.”

“Just be fine here, don’t worry about home. As long as you’re fine, everything will be fine at home.”

“Okay, get in the car, and we’ll talk about the rest when we meet next time. Don’t miss the flight.”

Father Lu actually had a lot to say and felt very reluctant to let go.

But when he thought that the more he talked, the more reluctant he would be to leave, he had no choice but to interrupt his wife.

“Mom and Dad, don’t worry. I will definitely take good care of Lu Anning. Please don’t worry.”

“Jingxing, we will really leave Lu Anning to you this time.”

“Lu Anning’s situation is rather special, so please be more patient and tolerant.”

This time, what Lu’s mother said was more solemn than at the wedding banquet.

“Mom, I understand!”

“That’s good.”

No matter how reluctant we are, there will always be a time to say goodbye.

Lu Anning watched the car getting farther and farther away from her and felt like crying.

“Don’t be sad. I’ll take on a few more missions and save up some vacation time. When the New Year comes, we’ll go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.”

Lu Anning shook his head.

It was true that she was reluctant to leave her family, but she also didn’t want him to go on a mission in order to accompany her back.

Even though I don’t have any extra feelings for him at the moment, I still hope he takes as few risks as possible.

After seeing off Lu’s father and mother, he went back with Jingxing to continue his training.

Finally, Lu Anning was alone. He quickly closed the door, entered the room, and took out the cinnabar from the drawer.

When she looked in the mirror these days, she clearly felt that the red dot between her eyebrows was gradually getting brighter and flashing more frequently.

The words that the mysterious old man said to Xinran in front of her tombstone suddenly appeared in her mind.

He said: “The previous 26 years were stolen time. They could not coexist in the same world after all.”

When she first heard it, she was a little confused and thought the other party was bluffing and pretending to be mysterious.

After repeated consideration over the past few days, she seemed to understand something.

The other party might mean that she and Xinran can both survive, but they cannot coexist at the same time and in the same place.

He also said that she had one last chance to start a new life in another world, but she was missing some opportunities and needed to happily exchange them for her most precious things.

After the other party finished speaking, he happily went to buy cinnabar and put a red dot on his forehead.

Not long after she clicked, her soul was pulled into a black hole, and then traveled to this era, where she was resurrected.

She had a strong premonition that she would not be able to go back to the modern era. After all, that person said that she and Xinran could not coexist, which meant that if she went back, Xinran would die.

She was unwilling to go back even if it cost Xinran’s life.

But the red dot between her eyebrows has been flashing wildly these past few days. Is it hinting at something else?

Lu Anning tightly grasped the white paper bag in her hand, hesitating whether to try it.

Finally, I made up my mind and decided to give it a try.

He went to the outer room and fetched a cup, filled it with some water, opened the paper package, and poured the cinnabar into the cup.

Swirl the cup until dissolved.

He took a mirror and placed it on the small coffee table in the room. He imitated Xinran and dipped his finger in cinnabar and dotted it on the red dot between his eyebrows.

I don’t know if there will be any reaction.

If there is no reaction, let the red dot continue to flash. After all, only she can see it.

She stared at herself in the mirror intently. Her soul was not pulled into the black hole as quickly as Xinran’s initial operation. Instead, the cinnabar on her forehead seemed to be gradually absorbed by her skin from the moment she applied it.

Seeing this phenomenon, she was not too panicked.

She has already traveled through time, could anything be more surprising to her than this?

She used to be a staunch materialist and did not believe in any gods, Buddhas, or ghosts.

After about three or four minutes, the cinnabar between the eyebrows had been completely absorbed, and even the original red dot no longer existed.

At the same time, a dazzling light shone into her eyes. She quickly closed her eyes, and then slowly opened them again.

What came into her sight was a holographic projection screen, which she had only seen in science fiction films before.

At the top of the light screen is a switchable navigation bar with three options, a buyer section, a seller section, and a storage bar.

When she was about to click, a box suddenly popped up in the middle of the screen with the words “Operation Instructions” written on it.

It’s pretty good and smart. It didn’t make her, who knew nothing, operate blindly.

Lu Anning read the operating instructions carefully without missing a word. Not knowing whether it would pop up again in the future, he did not hold any fluke ideas and tried to memorize it quickly.

After reading it all, she had a general understanding of this light screen.

This is a trading system.

It is a bit like Taobao in later generations, where you can buy and sell things. The biggest difference from Taobao is that it can store physical objects, and the screen can be operated by hand or by mind.

Lu Anning looked at the cup next to him and silently said “Put it in the storage compartment” in his mind. Sure enough, the cup in front of him disappeared, and a number one appeared on the side of the storage compartment.

She silently took it out again, and put the cup back to the place where it had just disappeared, and the number next to the storage bar disappeared.

After testing this function, she clicked on it casually.

Currently, the entire system is in level zero, and there are only two commodities in the purchasing section, rice and flour.

The biggest advantage of this system is that you can choose the year of the item you want to buy. The product corresponding to the year you choose will be sold.

Taking the year 1975, where she is now, as the boundary, products from 1975 and later are all acceptable, but products before 1975 cannot be purchased.

She wasn’t stupid enough to want to buy something from seventy-five years ago. Antiques were not available, and the rest were expired, so what was the point of buying them?

The amount in the system at this time is zero, which means that she currently has no money.

There are two ways to get money, you can recharge or sell things.

Although the antiques cannot be bought, they can be sold. The transaction will be based on the estimated price of the most valuable year before the year of her death.

The only downside is that the money from the sales cannot be given to her in full.

The money obtained from the transaction will be converted according to the year. She is now in 1975, and the conversion ratio is 1:500.

The money can be withdrawn directly or used for upgrades.

In the first six levels, you can choose any module to upgrade, which is mainly divided into grains and oils, vegetables, meat, fruits, seafood and daily necessities.

The next four levels are randomly triggered by the system, similar to the blind boxes of later generations.

The more she looked at it, the more she felt that this system was tailor-made for her. Perhaps God was afraid that she would starve to death after traveling through time, so he gave her a golden finger, which allowed her to not only not starve, but also make a fortune with it.

But why not just give her a few more abilities, at least grant her some kung fu, so that she can have the ability to protect herself!

Forget it, people should not be greedy.

It was a stolen blessing for her to be reborn in this era and to have such a trading system. If she had any other requests, what if God thought she was not satisfied and took back everything she had now? It would be a loss.

He used his mind to retract the light screen and searched around the room for items, appraising them one by one, trying to find a few that were slightly more valuable.

Unfortunately, it is very regrettable. There are some, but not many.

Some of them even sold out, and after the exchange rate was calculated, she would still lose money.

Of the things currently in the room, after exchanging them, only one of the picture books on the bookshelf and a few stamps in the drawer were of value.

This picture book can be sold for two thousand yuan, which is four yuan when converted to the original price, and only one or two cents if you buy it in a bookstore.

The stamps are military stamps and are more valuable than the picture books.

However, she doesn’t plan to touch these two things for the time being, because they currently belong to Sui, not Lu.
