Chapter 332: Chapter 321 150000

Then, she did as the instructions said and divided her study schedule into several parts, listed the time she had available, and arranged everything accordingly.

Anyway, Bai Er would only go to the mountain to catch rhizomys, or to the riverbank to feel for small fish. She had no interest in such games, so she could devote all her playtime to studying and exploring the system’s forum.

After an initial period of trial and error, the forum quickly flourished. Countless transactions were completed every day, in both the first and second channels.

Manbao was dazzled by all the wonderful things, but naturally, she didn’t recognize most of them and was just there for the excitement.

Therefore, under such strong competition, it was evident that Manbao’s business was in decline.

Decisively, Keke suggested that Manbao disable the stickied posts feature after noticing that hosts from various worlds had begun trading actively, to save those ten system points.

And then, Manbao’s posts instantly sank to the bottom. Apart from a few buyers who had purchased from her before, no new orders came in.

Even so, Manbao still made it a point to check the forum every night before sleep. Even without any transactions, it was fun to read all the different posts.

And she could learn a lot from them.

While Manbao was clicking through the forum, a bell-like sound suddenly rang out. She was familiar with this sound—it meant she had an email or an order.

She hurriedly pulled up the backend and saw the mailbox lit up.

Upon opening it, she found that the sender wasn’t Teacher Mo.

Manbao’s only email contact was a medical doctor named Mo Congjun, so she looked at the unfamiliar avatar quizzically before opening the message.

Keke also glanced over and introduced the person, "They’re one of the big customers of the host. They’ve bought everything you uploaded."

There were many buyers, with all sorts of strange names. Some characters Manbao didn’t even recognize, so naturally, she couldn’t remember them.

After Keke mentioned this, she went to pull up the transaction records, and finally found her. It was no wonder she didn’t recognize the buyer; their avatars were all too similar, almost all resembling a book.

According to Keke, this was the default avatar.

Manbao muttered, "No wonder I thought her avatar looked familiar."

The message was simple, just one sentence: "Is the China root collected by you?"

Manbao’s eyes sparkled as someone finally inquired about the China root. She responded excitedly with two words, "Yes, it is!"

The other party almost immediately replied, "Could you give me a piece?"

Manbao smiled slyly within the system and responded, "China root is hard to find. You have to go far, far into the mountains to find it."

"I can see that. I looked through your collection records, the quantity is small, and so is the variety. Is your place very barren?"

Manbao: "...No, it’s quite rich. We have lots of good things here."

It was just that she was still quite young and couldn’t go too far, so she could only wander near Qili Village.

Of course, Manbao did not say this. Keke had advised her not to tell others her age, or they would take advantage of her.

Being young could elicit pity, but more often than not, it invited others to take advantage of one’s ignorance without feeling any guilt afterward.

So Manbao avoided the topic, asking instead, "You want the China root, so how many points will you offer?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a number came back: "Fifty thousand."

Manbao blinked. This was far from what she had expected. Scratching her head uncertainly, she consulted Keke, "Keke, what do you think?"

"Host, I cannot interfere with your transactions. You may decide on your own."

Manbao immediately understood and sent back a number, "One hundred and fifty thousand!"

The other party: "..."

Manbao continued, "Do you know how many points I got from the encyclopedia for the China root?"

The person on the other end truly did not know; such information was confidential and not disclosed.

They couldn’t see the collector’s information, nor the information about other worlds, but there were clues, such as the entry’s number.

The number contained some information about the recording system. That’s how she methodically searched, taking over a month to find Manbao, and that was only because they had made a few transactions before.

Otherwise, finding her would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, unless Manbao actively posted on the forum to sell China root.

The other party paused before asking directly, "How much?"

Manbao: "I won’t tell you."

The other party: "..."

"One hundred and fifty thousand points is not expensive. I can even give you some China root soil for free."

The person’s spirits lifted instantly, and they asked, "What is China root soil?"

"It’s just the soil where the China root grows. It’s not hard to dig up the soil, but there’s only a small piece of China root left. The rest, Second Brother took to sell. We combed the entire mountain, and now there’s none left. So if you want it, I’ll give it to you; otherwise, you’ll have to wait until next year."

The person on the other end thought to themselves: So the item was intentionally made scarce.

"Can’t you keep a bit more? Aren’t points more precious than your money?"

"But money is important too—points can’t be used to buy things from people here."

The other party had nothing to say in response and could only ask, "Can’t you lower the price a bit?"

Manbao hesitated, wondering if her price was too high, but seeing Keke staying silent, she steeled her heart and said, "No, it’s much less compared to what the encyclopedia gave."

Manbao went on, "I’ve heard that research institutes also have to spend points to get things from the encyclopedia for their studies, and it’s not a small amount."

The person on the other side of the countless stars raised an eyebrow slightly and replied, "Alright then, one hundred and fifty thousand it is. Remember to get me more China root soil."

Manbao brightened up, immediately exited the system, did a couple of rolls on her bed in excitement, then happily re-entered the system and packaged the small piece of China root she had set aside in the corner.

This piece of China root was left over from their last trip up the mountain to look for it; Manbao had picked it up directly where it was broken off.

Zhou SiLang saw it but didn’t take it to heart; they were planning to plant China root themselves.

Manbao took the China root home and immediately cut it into three pieces.

She kept the two better-looking pieces for planting, hoping to see if they could be grown.

So only one piece was left in the space.

Manbao chose a random piece of China root soil, took half of it to package, and sent it along with the China root to the buyer.

Then, Manbao sat in the system with her chin propped up in her hands as she waited for the points to come through.

Keke reminded her, "Host, it’s time for you to go to sleep."

Manbao shook her head. "No rush, no rush. I want to wait for the points."

Keke looked at her point total and remained silent.

In recent times, Manbao had steadily earned seventy-six thousand points from the forum. Now, her total points had reached more than five hundred and eighty thousand.

With the additional one hundred and fifty thousand, that would make seven hundred and thirty thousand—another step closer to nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand.

Manbao, unable to resist, yawned and slowly closed her eyes, starting to drift out of the system. She briefly regained alertness, wanting to check if the points had arrived, but soon she succumbed to weariness. Her eyelids grew heavier, and she closed her eyes, falling asleep without resistance.

And then ripples stirred, and Manbao on the bed turned over, cuddled into her blanket, and fell into a deep sleep.
