“Boss, if we’re not selling stinky tofu anymore, what are we selling?”
Yuzhi Zhi took a bite of stinky tofu, then slowly drank a small sip of wine before replying unhurriedly, “I don’t know yet.”
She still had to wait for the next update from that lousy system to decide the random stall location.
“Are you really not going to sell stinky tofu again?”
He still hadn’t had enough.
Yuzhi Zhi nodded.
Only then did Zhao Yang realize—no wonder his boss had been so generous earlier, letting them eat as much as they wanted. It turned out she might not make this snack again in the future.
“Don’t worry. I guarantee that everything we sell in the future won’t make you lose money.”
“For the next few days, we won’t be setting up stalls. As for the next time, place, and what we’ll sell, I’ll notify you.”
If it were anyone else, they would probably be unhappy about suddenly stopping a booming business. But who was Zhao Yang?
He had once been a well-known playboy.
And Yuzhi Zhi’s loyal follower.
“Boss, your ‘three days fishing, two days resting’ salted-fish lifestyle really suits my taste. Please keep it up.”
Perfect!
Finally, he could sleep in properly tomorrow. Three days of early mornings and standing around had been torture for a big guy like him.
Even though he was exhausted, he still endured it.
On his way home, Zhao Yang even took a few portions of stinky tofu to bring back for his family.
He could already imagine the reaction of customers who would come tomorrow and find nothing.
They would definitely curse his boss.
He thought to himself—was his boss doing this because not enough people were scolding her lately, so she wanted to stir things up again?
Thinking about it made it even more exciting.
Late at night.
Yuzhi Zhi lay in bed and called out to the “lousy system.”
“Little Winter Melon, come out!”
“Host, are you looking for me?”
“Yes. I’m here for my reward. Tell me—what score did I get for this stall mission?”
She felt quite satisfied with her performance.
Even if it wasn’t level five, it should at least be level four.
Reality, however, was harsh.
“Host, based on your performance over the past three days, the system gives you 65 points.”
Yuzhi Zhi shot up like a carp, eyes wide. “What?!”
“Did the system miscalculate? Why is the score so low?”
The system calmly replied, “Your intention for selling stinky tofu was not pure. You had the intention of pranking the Sixth Prince. Also, you did not treat all customers equally. Even if Zhang Lei and the others were wrong, you still acted out of revenge by refusing to sell to them.”
“Therefore, your score is only slightly above passing. You are placed in Level 2.”
Yuzhi Zhi deflated instantly.
She should’ve known earlier.
If not, she wouldn’t have deliberately used stinky tofu to torment the Sixth Prince.
For a higher score, she could even have smiled and served Zhang Lei and the others properly.
Even feeding them stinky tofu herself and calling them “grandpa” would’ve been fine.
She could endure anything.
“So, what’s the Level 2 reward?”
A green virtual screen appeared.
“Choose for yourself.”
Yuzhi Zhi immediately exploded. “A 500-yuan shopping voucher? That’s it?”
What appeared was a shopping mall interface filled with countless items—more varied than any online marketplace she had ever seen.
But what use was variety when she only had 500 credits?
The system reminded her, “This is already good for Level 2. If you knew what Level 1 rewards were, you’d look even worse.”
“Oh.”
“Host, aren’t you curious?”
“Not at all.”
She hoped Level 1 would never involve her.
Preferably, all future rewards would be Level 5—especially anything like a portal door.
To her surprise, most items in the shop were modern goods. A few immediately caught her attention.
“What’s the validity period of the voucher?”
“One year.”
That made her feel slightly better.
She could buy things in portions.
She chose daily necessities: sanitary pads, toothbrush, shampoo, and body wash.
Especially sanitary pads—they were a lifesaver. The ancient cloth-and-ash method was far too unhygienic.
She spent nearly 200 credits immediately.
Then she couldn’t resist spending another 50 on instant coffee.
In her previous life, she drank coffee every day. Now she hadn’t had any for half a month—she was seriously craving it.
She kept 250 credits for later.
After confirming, the items appeared instantly in her room like magic.
She excitedly touched them one by one, then carefully hid them away.
After that, she made herself a cup of latte-style instant coffee and sat by the window enjoying it.
Drinking coffee before bed—this was definitely a first.
She was already prepared for insomnia.
Time passed.
The sun rose high into the sky.
By late morning, the time they were supposed to set up the stall had already passed.
Yet both Yuzhi Zhi and Zhao Yang were still asleep, deep in dreamland.
They didn’t know that a large crowd had already gathered outside the Sixth Prince’s residence… waiting for them—and complaining about them—for nearly half an hour already.
