But in this era, in this world, and given the plot structure of novels written in this era, how do you earn Cannon Fodder Points?
Unless, of course, the Protagonist is good at causing trouble.
For example, if they get desperate, they could wipe out the Radiant Water Country and destroy the Great Ancient Country of Amai Chou!
I just don't know if the Protagonist's system is powerful enough to achieve this.
Furthermore, whether or not it can be done is one thing, and whether or not the Protagonist is willing to do it is another.
"Here you go, this is what I just found, you can eat it first!" At this moment, a small, fair hand reached out.
There was still a bright red apple in my hand.
Ling Yi followed the arm and saw a stunningly beautiful face tilting its head to look at him.
The angle, the lighting, and that stunningly beautiful face momentarily stunned Ling Yi.
This is basically just adding filters and special effects to the Protagonist!
Ling Yi swallowed hard and looked back at the apple being offered to him.
His mind cleared instantly, and he couldn't help but purse his lips.
This apple looks way too fake!
It's not that the apple is fake, but the way it's appearing at this time seems so fake.
Damn, during a severe Famine, when the grass was withered and the trees were dying, you searched all that barren grass and this was the only Water Spirit apple you found?
Fake or Not? Is it stupid?
Or was Lin Xueru doing this on purpose, testing him?
Ling Yi looked up again at Lin Xueru's face, which seemed to have a filter effect.
Upon seeing Lin Xueru's probing gaze, he immediately realized that Lin Xueru was doing this on purpose!
Why do this? To test yourself?
Why test yourself?
Ling Yi recalled the details before and after she fainted.
He immediately realized that the woman had probably overheard his words when he requested help from the system.
Then, Ling Yi smiled slightly.
Isn't it just a test? It's mutual testing!
Ling Yi reached out and gently pushed the apple back into Lin Xueru's hand.
Then he reached behind his back and pulled out two duck legs.
"I was lucky, I just dug this out from here, I don't know who buried it here, do you want it?"
Ling Yi first pointed to the mud puddle next to him, then handed a duck leg to Lin Xueru.
Lin Xueru blinked, then burst out laughing.
He grabbed the duck leg, took a bite, and his eyes lit up.
"Ah, this is delicious!" Lin Xueru said, sitting cross-legged opposite Ling Yi.
"Of course it's delicious! This is a long-established cooked food shop from my hometown, which has been in business for ten years. Their cooked food is absolutely amazing!"
"What, you're not pretending anymore?" Lin Xueru asked with a smile.
"With you testing me like this, how can I keep up the act? So, you're a time traveler?"
"To be precise, I'm a transmigrator!" Lin Xueru nodded, making no attempt to hide anything.
"I'm a time traveler, and I know almost nothing about this world. It seems we're not on the same wavelength!"
"I'm from 2022, what about you?" Lin Xueru asked, taking another bite of her duck leg.
Seeing the greasy look on Lin Xueru's lips, my "beauty filter" vanished instantly.
But Lin Xueru looked even cuter in this way.
Ling Yi chuckled and retorted, "You're testing me so casually, or rather, you trust people so easily? Aren't you afraid I might be the kind of cunning transmigrator?"
"In the text from that era, are there any conflicts of interest between us?" Lin Xueru asked!
Ling Yi shook his head. Conflict of interest? Of course not right now.
However, if the Protagonist is not serious, like the Dragon King in the Dragon King World, then that's a different story.
But this Lin Xueru, no matter how you look at her, doesn't seem like a crooked-mouthed Dragon King, does she?
Moreover, as Lin Xueru said, this is a fictional world set in a bygone era, so there's no need for Ling Yi and Lin Xueru to be wary of each other, regardless of whether they have any conflicts of interest.
There's no way a character like the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King could exist in historical fiction.
"I'm from 2025, we're three years apart, but most likely we're not from the same world."
Lin Xueru waved her hand and said, "That's not important. What's important is how we can survive well in this world."
Then someone asked, "What's your cheat code?"
"Are you just going to ask me that directly?"
"Can't you just ask directly?"
"Well, it's not that it's impossible, it just feels a bit too direct."
"Then I'll say it first: you're so indecisive and dawdling, you're not manly at all!"
No, how is that not manly? I just asked a couple of extra questions.
"I have a Personal Space of about ten acres, with a Spiritual Spring in the middle. The water that saved you before was from that Spiritual Spring."
"The space can hold living things; it can be used for planting and raising livestock."
"Besides that, I also have a Future Mall, where you can sell anything of value and exchange it for Future Mall currency."
"Through the Future Mall, you can buy anything from the future."
Ling Yi asked curiously, " The Future Mall allows you to exchange for anything? Can you exchange for the giant mushroom?"
Lin Xueru paused for a moment, then gestured with her hand, saying, "A big, mushroom? You mean, the kind of big mushroom that goes 'boom'?"
Seeing Lin Xueru's actions, Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, it's that kind of big mushroom."
"Look what they are! Not only are there giant mushrooms, but they even have Big Delivery! My goodness, if we had enough currency, we could send a hundred or so to the Radiant Water Country."
Ling Yi's eyes lit up, and he gave Lin Xueru a thumbs up. "Great idea."
I like this Protagonist!
If Lin Xueru really had this idea, wouldn't the people of Radiant Water Country just be ready-made Cannon Fodder Points?
Or will Lin Xueru actually do it in the future?
However, there's no way to verify this!
Do we have to go to the Radiant Water Country?
These days, going abroad is a real hassle.
"It's a pity I can't afford it now, it's too expensive. Otherwise, I would have thrown a couple of them at the Radiant Water Country!" Lin Xueru.
"It's okay, take your time. Besides, I'm here for you."
"So what's your cheat code?"
" The Exchange Mall System is full!" Ling Yi said.
How does the redemption process work? Is it the same as in my Future Mall?
"Can your Future Mall accept anything?"
"Absolutely not. We can't just accept any Shitou or sand. We'll only accept items that are worth more than 10 cents."
A dime in those days must have been worth a lot of money, right?
Ling Yi wasn't very familiar with this.
"I can!"
"What can you do?"
Ling Yi stood up, raised his palm, and placed it on the old elm tree behind him.
The old elm tree vanished the next moment.
[Redeem a 60-year-old elm tree and receive +500 points!]
Wow, is an old elm tree really that valuable? It can actually be exchanged for 500 points.
Ling Yi had been so focused on looking at the flowers and grass that he hadn't noticed the old elm tree.
500 points are equivalent to 500 yuan.
Well, 500 yuan is a huge sum of money!
You should know that in the 1980s and 90s, having 10,000 yuan was already a remarkable achievement.
Ling Yi didn't experience that era, so he naturally didn't know what it meant to have ten thousand yuan back then.
"So, your online store accepts all sorts of things?" Lin Xueru exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, we accept everything!"
"Your online store is much better than mine."
Ling Yi thought to himself, "That's much more dangerous now."
If we're not careful, we might end up exchanging all the planets we're standing on!
Should we try redeeming it?
A little devil sprouted in Ling Yi's heart.
Shaking my head, waving my hand, I swatted the little devil away. Let's be decent people!
