"Then, host, hurry up and buy Agility Pill. I need the points to restock," it urged.

"I need the ' Great Strength Pill Great Strength Pill.' You absolutely must get them; the rest is up to you. But you have one principle when you buy them: they must be things I actually need. Otherwise, if you buy things like Beauty Pill or Beautiful Voice Pill, and I don't buy them, your goods will just sit there unsold. After all, I'm your only buyer. If you can't sell them, your purchase costs will just go to waste."

"Then... then..." The system became even more nervous after Zhao Ruxi said that. "What should we do? Why don't you tell me what you want?"

"This..." Zhao Ruxi considered it seriously for a moment, then shook her head, "I feel like I don't lack anything."

"That won't do. You have to tell me what you want before I can get it back for you." The system was almost in tears.

"That way, when you go to buy the Great Strength Pill,' take a good look at what's available, and tell me the names and prices of each item. Only buy what I need and what's affordable that I can afford. That way, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell it."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's do it that way." The system nodded Gao Xing.

"Host, then hurry up and buy the Agility Pill," it urged again.

Zhao Ruxi glanced at Qingfeng and Dianjiang opposite her. "The maid is still here, let's talk about it when we get back."

The system had no choice but to suppress its eagerness.

Having finally returned to the Earl's residence, Zhao Ruxi excused herself to change clothes and went back to Slender Bamboo Courtyard first. Once alone in her bedroom, she asked, "What should I do?"

"You can just click that icon." The system eagerly displayed the light screen in front of Zhao Ruxi.

Without hesitation, Zhao Ruxi reached out and tapped the Agility Pill icon on the screen. The screen flickered a few times, and Zhao Ruxi's points were deducted by 20,000. Then, a pill slowly appeared out of thin air.

Fortunately, it didn't emerge too quickly, and Zhao Ruxi caught it in mid-air with her hand.

Zhao Ruxi was speechless. "Couldn't you have put it in a box or something? What if I didn't catch it and it rolled onto the ground?"

The system is frozen and remains silent.

Are Agility Pill free? Because Zhao Ruxi bargained so hard, it hasn't even earned any points yet, so why would it spend points to buy a box?

Zhao Ruxi didn't have time to pursue the matter further. She carefully examined the pill in her hand and found that it was just a brownish object that looked exactly like a chocolate candy. She then held the pill to her nose and smelled it, but couldn't detect any odor.

The system wouldn't dare kill her with medicine, since they were bound together. If she died, the system would also disappear.

So she confidently put the pill into her mouth.

Hmm, it tastes good, a little sweet, and melts in your mouth—so melted that it's like Zhu Bajie eating a ginseng fruit; you only taste a hint of sweetness, and then it's all gone.

Zhao Ruxi smacked her lips, carefully sensing the changes in her body.

Hmm... it seems like nothing has changed.

"System, this isn't a counterfeit or substandard product, is it?" she asked seriously.

The system proclaimed, "... Anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be of the highest quality." It shouted this slogan with righteous indignation, but inside it was terribly panicked.

It's never tried it, it doesn't know anything about it. Could it really be ineffective? No way! If it's truly a counterfeit product, then its business... Waaah, it really wants to cry.

Zhao Ruxi thought for a moment, then jumped around a bit and found that her body was very light. If she were to jump rope, she could probably jump hundreds or even thousands of times without dying.

"Haha, it works!" The system also noticed the changes in Zhao Ruxi's body, and was overjoyed, unable to help but let out various celebratory sounds.

Okay, as long as it works.

Worried that the old lady and Lady Zhu would be concerned, Zhao Ruxi quickly changed her clothes and went to the front to eat.

Qingfeng and Dianjiang followed her for a day, and after returning to the manor, they went to rest, while Matron Yuan and Yicui accompanied her.

Then the two women noticed that their daughter was walking unusually fast today, so fast that they had to jog to keep up.

Thinking that perhaps the girl was hungry and wanted to eat quickly, the two of them remained silent and simply tried to keep up.

Matron Yuan was quite old, and although she was a servant, she had never done any physical labor. After following along for a while, she couldn't run anymore.

She said breathlessly, "Miss... this old servant really can't keep up with you, please allow me to fall behind."

Zhao Ruxi then belatedly realized that not only was Matron Yuan like this, but even Lian Yicui was panting heavily—she had been lost in thought and hadn't noticed the strange behavior of the two people behind her.

She thought back and realized that she was just walking normally, without speeding up her pace, and that her breathing was normal and her heartbeat showed no signs of acceleration.

"Hahaha, it's the Agility Pill! It's the effect of the Agility Pill!" The system jumped up and down Gao Xing in my mind.

He was even Gao Xing than Zhao Ruxi when the pills he sold were effective. The after-sales service was quite good.

"I was worried that Grandma and my parents would be getting impatient, so I walked quickly," Zhao Ruxi said apologetically. "You two rest here for a bit; we're almost there. I'll go ahead now."

With that, she went straight into the Rongxi Hall.

"Did the Jia Family cause you any trouble?" Lady Zhu asked her as soon as they met.

Not wanting to worry her elders, Zhao Ruxi made an excuse, saying, "They didn't cause any trouble. They went to the painting academy to apologize, and my master scolded them a bit."

Hearing this, Lady Zhu was finally relieved.

"Mother, have you found the loom I asked you to look for?" Zhao Ruxi asked Lady Zhu Shi.

"Found it. I've had it moved into the back room in your yard."

Just then, Matron Yuan had finally entered, overheard this and immediately interjected, "Yes, Miss. You came in such a hurry that I haven't had a chance to tell you about this yet."

She had planned to say it on the way, but Zhao Ruxi walked too fast, and she used all her strength to catch up with Zhao Ruxi Zhao Ruxi, so she had no energy to talk to her.

Zhao Ruxi immediately Gao Xing up. "I'll go check on it after I finish eating."

"What do you need this for?" the old lady asked curiously.

"Isn't my second senior brother in the Ministry of Works? I heard him mention that the current looms aren't working well. So I thought I'd try to figure out how to improve them," Zhao Ruxi said.

With Xiao Lingyan as a ready-made designer, she didn't actually need to figure it out herself. Without understanding the principles of a loom, figuring out how to improve it would require a lot of time and effort.

What she lacks most right now is time and energy, so she plans to win without lifting a finger.

But if she wanted to make such a thing, she had to put on a show, right? That's why she asked Lady Zhu to find her a loom so she could pretend to study it.

After the meal, Zhao Jingtai went with her to Slender Bamboo Courtyard, where he painted while Zhao Ruxi studied the loom.
