"Nuonuo and Little Xue did wonderfully today. You bought so many nice things!"
Seeing Shen Nuonuo and Qian Renxue laden with bags, having returned with a full haul, Qian Daoliu clapped his hands and laughed heartily.
As long as his two little granddaughters were happy, money was a trivial matter. He did not care whether those things were worth the price or not.
Shen Nuonuo froze. She had not expected Qian Daoliu to disregard the facts and affirm her like that. In her previous life, her parents had constantly denied her and endlessly PUAed her.
It was also because of her weakness that, if the System had not appeared and dealt her a sharp blow, she might truly have kept working herself to the bone in that home.
This place seemed rather nice too. There was Grandpa and Little Xue. Shen Nuonuo quietly thought to herself.
"However, Little Xue, most of these were bought by you, weren't they?" Qian Daoliu changed the subject. He still understood his granddaughter's temperament.
"That's not right, Grandpa. I went shopping with Sister, so we bought them together. We want to give these to you, Father, Mother, and all the grandpas and uncles."
"You'll find out what they are tomorrow." Qian Renxue pointed at the gifts, her face brimming with delight.
"Wonderful. These are your and Nuonuo's heartfelt gifts. Everyone will surely be happy."
Qian Daoliu smiled warmly and stroked her little head.
Qian Daoliu naturally and automatically ignored the fact that someone did not want to see Qian Renxue, much less receive her gift.
Shen Nuonuo rubbed her forehead. She did not even want to point out the flaw in Qian Daoliu's words. Everyone except Bibi Dong would indeed be happy to receive gifts from Qian Renxue, but Bibi Dong was the most crucial one, all right?
Forget it. Little Xue was too excited right now, so she would not dampen her spirits.
Before long, the carriage arrived at Spirit Hall. No inspection was needed. The guards let it through directly as soon as they saw that Chrysanthemum Douluo was driving it.
Qian Daoliu escorted Shen Nuonuo and Qian Renxue to their rooms before leaving.
The maid named A'Mio had been waiting for a long time. When she saw them return, she said, "Young Master, Miss."
"Miss?" Shen Nuonuo was a little dazed by the form of address. She remembered that this Maid had called her Miss Shen yesterday.
This form of address was...
Heartwarming.
"Aren't you over two years older than the Young Master? The Great Enshrined told us to call you Miss, while the Young Master is the Second Miss." A'Mio said with a smile.
Shen Nuonuo's orange eyes grew slightly moist. She could not describe how she felt at that moment. Had she been accepted?
A'Mio picked up Qian Renxue, bowed to Shen Nuonuo, and left.
"How wonderful!" Shen Nuonuo stood where she was, her heart churning with emotion as she sighed. Then she entered her room to wash up.
Shen Nuonuo wore a pale yellow set of pajamas, her hair tied into two little horn braids. She lay directly on the soft, spacious bed, her eyes unfocused as if staring at the ceiling.
Nuonuo, what's wrong? The System sensed that something seemed off about its silly Host's mood and asked.
Big Fool, I think Spirit Hall is really, really nice! Shen Nuonuo thought about everything that had happened today. It all felt like a dream.
Hmph, hmph, hmph. Spirit Hall is indeed better than the Two Great Empires. You've only been here for less than two days, and you're already moved?
The System naturally understood that its Host was somewhat emotionally closed off and skilled at hiding her true feelings.
Mm, that's true. Spirit Hall isn't perfect either. After all, it represents the interests of the Soul Master class, while the Two Great Empires represent the aristocratic class. In this era, where cultivation resources are still scarce, Spirit Hall's rule is that no matter who you are, as long as you become a Soul Master through awakening, you rise from being an ordinary person to a different class.
Having lived for so long, Shen Nuonuo naturally understood that this world was not simply black and white.
There was no absolute right or wrong. More often than not, it was merely a difference in position.
How many Points do I have now? Shen Nuonuo was quite concerned about what she had gained today.
Little Xue had been happy all day, but she was far too extravagant, spending money like water. A single Gold Soul Coin could have bought all those things of hers.
One Gold Soul Coin was enough to support an ordinary family for several months.
You still have one thousand Points.
So few? Didn't you say making Little Xue happy would earn lots of Points?
Shen Nuonuo was stunned. This was far too little.
This System never said that. I only said making her happy would earn Points.
"You Big Fool, are you playing word games with me?" Shen Nuonuo immediately cursed.
Host, calm down. Anger will make you haggard~
"Hehe, Big Fool, having you is truly my blessing."
Shen Nuonuo curled her lips and said bluntly.
Of course. I was sent by the Heavenly Dao to save you.
The System swayed smugly from side to side.
All right, all right, System. Do I have a main quest of my own? Shen Nuonuo felt things could not be that simple.
Yes. Completing main quests can also earn you Points. This is relatively flexible, and you can choose not to do them~ The System's tone was deeply irritating.
Hehe, what is it? Shen Nuonuo thought. Fortunately, she had asked, or she would have been tricked.
Your main quest is quite simple. You just need to become a Douluo Rich Lady and establish a commercial empire of your own. You have to become richer than the Two Great Empires and Spirit Hall. Making money is so easy for a Transmigrator, isn't it?
The more you earn, the more Points you get~
Don't ask how the conversion works. The System will automatically detect and calculate it. Even if I showed you the process, you wouldn't understand it.
Shen Nuonuo: ...
Was it implying that she was an arts student and bad at math?
Well, she really was bad at it. Mentioning math brought nothing but tears. Out of ten multiple-choice questions, she might guess every single one wrong! She had the perfect talent for avoiding all the correct answers!
But she still really wanted to beat up this damn System!
"Big Fool, what can my current Points do?"
You can exchange them for two level-one Soul Tool blueprints~
Then exchange them for me. I can choose what type of blueprints to exchange for, right?
Shen Nuonuo had not planned to use Soul Tools to make money, because becoming a top-tier Soul Engineer would also take a great deal of time.
Her time was tight, and her tasks were heavy.
She only had twenty years. She did not have the time.
Even if she had transmigrated into Peerless Tang Sect, she would not choose the Soul Engineer path.
Of course. The System answered with certainty.
If I make a small Soul Tool Refrigerator and a Soul Tool Camera, do they count as level-one Soul Tools?
They do. Both can be exchanged for.
After checking, the System confirmed that they belonged to the category of everyday Soul Tools. Aside from combat, support, and other types of Soul Tools, everyday Soul Tools were all classified as level-one Soul Tools.
Then I'll exchange for the Soul Tool Refrigerator and Soul Tool Camera first.
Shen Nuonuo felt these two were more practical. Besides, Little Xue's birthday was in two months. She wanted to make a Soul Tool Camera herself and give it to her.
A camera recorded the beautiful moments of life~
All right. They have been exchanged for you.
After the System spoke, two blueprints appeared in Shen Nuonuo's mind.
The blueprints thoughtfully included the production process, the materials required, as well as the usage rules and precautions.
