Chapter 506: Chi Gua Bao Ming System (5)

A Physical Fitness Potion without a discount costs 9,999 points per vial.

This meant that after buying this Physical Fitness Potion, her remaining point balance would be a pitiful 1 point.

But this little body was too weak.

Xie Yang supported her forehead and thought for a moment, then decided to exchange for it.

After obtaining the Physical Fitness Potion, she swallowed it in one gulp. Once a layer of black, foul grime secreted from the surface of her body, she took a loofah bath sponge she had made herself in the previous plane from the Transport Aircraft Cargo Hold and scrubbed all the grime off her body.

Then she changed a bucket of water and scrubbed herself once more.

Not until no more grime could be scrubbed off and the stench had turned into the fragrance of natural bath soap did she wipe her body dry and put on clean clothes.

She stretched her limbs; even though the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden Technique had not followed her over, the Great Strength brought by the Physical Fitness Potion was enough to deal with any trouble she might encounter while out and about.

Although her points were gone, she had six cargo holds of supplies, plus her immense strength, so Xie Yang quickly adapted to her current environment.

Plus, the Main System explained the reason why the Jump Administration deducted the points—

Besides the fact that jumping with these supplies required a massive amount of energy, it was mainly to plug the mouth of the plane's Heavenly Dao.

Once it was put that way, she understood.

Now, not only was she adapted to the environment, but the lingering annoyance in her heart had also completely dissipated.

"System, I'm going on a long trip. During this time, will the Sub-system unbind from Zheng Miaomiao?"

【Hard to say.】

The Main System tried to contact the Chi Gua Bao Ming System; the other party was completely unaware, but it could sense Zheng Miaomiao's lifespan value.

【She only has 4 days of lifespan left now. If she cannot eat more fresh gossip during this period, she will die and her soul will vanish.】

Once a person dies, the system will naturally detach automatically and go off to seek the next fated person.

Xie Yang: "..."

Seeing that Grandma Xie was still in the kitchen baking pancakes and boiling eggs for her, Xie Yang thought for a moment, broke off half a bunch of bananas and took six apples from the consolation gifts sent by the factory leaders, found a cloth bag to put them in, and carried them to the west unit next door.

Miao Lan was eating with her daughter.

Her husband had gone to the Commune Commission Store to reconcile accounts today, so it was just her and her daughter at home. She had simply cooked some noodles for them to eat and poached an egg for her daughter's portion.

Xie Yang's arrival made her feel surprised.

On the day Xie Yang fainted, she and her husband had stopped by the hospital to take a look after getting off work, and after returning, she had even helped Grandma Xie take in the clothes drying outside.

Neighbors are neighbors; one helps when one can.

But that was only as much as they could do; they couldn't exert any more effort.

Their own daughter had also just been through an illness, so how could they have the heart to worry about other people's business?

"Yang Yang, you are..."

"Miao Yi, thank you for your hard work in helping to watch the house these past few days. These are for Miao Miao to eat."

Zheng Miaomiao, who had been named, blinked her eyes a few times and looked curiously at Xie Yang.

So this is the Xie Family's granddaughter? She doesn't look much sturdier than my own little body, yet she works in the Mechanical Factory's production workshop? No wonder she fainted, sigh.

As soon as Miao Lan saw the bananas and apples Xie Yang brought out, she hurriedly said, "This won't do, this won't do, take them back and eat them yourself."

"Miao Yi, I want to ask you for a favor. I have something to take care of and will be away for a few days. Grandma is at home alone, and I'm not very at ease. If anything happens, I ask that you and Zheng Shu help lend a hand."

"We're neighbors, it's nothing to help keep an eye on things, but you just got out of the hospital and you're going on a long trip?" Miao Lan asked casually.

Xie Yang followed her lead and told the truth, while keeping an eye on Zheng Miaomiao as she spoke.

Sure enough, when she said, "We also just received a letter from the place where my little uncle was sent to the countryside, and only then learned that my little aunt passed away from a difficult labor five months ago. I plan to bring my younger brother over to raise him," Zheng Miaomiao's eyes lit up instantly, as if a cat had tasted fish, and she was just short of excitedly howling.

This piece of gossip is enough to keep her alive until I return, right?

Main System: 【Host, her lifespan value has increased; she now has 19 days.】

Xie Yang looked up and met Zheng Miaomiao's excited little expression, unable to help but find it somewhat funny. Just extending her life by half a month makes this unlucky kid so happy?

Zheng Miaomiao was certainly happy!

She was just eating at home when her neighbor took the initiative to come over and give her bananas and apples, not to mention giving her a piece of gossip that extended her life by 15 days at once—how could she not be happy?

Lifespan gained for nothing!

Sob! The dog-head guillotine hanging over her head was finally a few inches further from her neck.

"Thank you, Sister Yang Yang!" She flashed a toothy smile at Xie Yang. "I will also help look after Grandma Xie."

Miao Lan looked at her daughter in surprise, though she just assumed her daughter was craving bananas. Her family did have a few apples, but bananas were a fruit from the south and not commonly seen.

Since her daughter wanted to eat them, she didn't push away the fruit Xie Yang had brought over again.

"Miao Yi, then I'm leaving. For this matter, I ask that you and Zheng Shu please help keep it a secret for now."

"Rest assured, we won't go around talking about it. Don't worry about things at home, either; your Zheng Shu and I will take good care of your grandmother."

"Thank you."

"Clack-clack—"

The long, dragon-like green-skinned train headed south along the tracks.

Xie Yang sat cross-legged on the upper bunk, looking at the scenery outside the window; the further south they went, the richer the scenery became, and the more lush the greenery.

In another half day, she would reach the destination of this trip—Dongjiang County.

People were already walking back and forth on the lower bunk, unable to wait to get off the train.

She was doing fine, lying on the upper bunk, cultivating the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden Technique from the beginning; before she knew it, four days had passed.

When she had time, she sorted through the treasures she had scavenged from the previous plane: the space in the six Transport Aircraft Cargo Holds plus one Invisible Small Flying Saucer was all packed to the brim.

It was a pity that the point rewards from the previous plane had been deducted until only Wanyi remained, and after exchanging for the Physical Fitness Potion, only 1 point was left.

Otherwise, she could have bought another Transport Aircraft and stockpiled some daily necessities from this plane.

The things she stockpiled in the previous plane were almost all valuable goods.

Even later when she was living in retirement in Australia, she invested in a dairy factory, but only picked the highest quality powdered milk, cheese, and milk tablets to hoard.

Ordinary daily necessities like Rice, flour, chicken, duck, goose eggs, pork, beef, mutton, cloth, cotton, fruit, and snacks had to step aside when encountering heavenly materials and earthly treasures or superior mineral ores.

Now that she had organized them, she discovered that the ordinary daily necessities hadn't even filled half a cargo hold, and a portion of them were foreign goods, such as the not-so-practical coffee, cocoa, chocolate, candies, or ornately woven European-style blankets, and complete sets of gold and Silver utensils.

Taking them out to use would be too eye-catching.

Fortunately, it was already '79, and the country would soon open up to individual businesses, at which point supplies would be even more abundant.

If she had transmigrated to the famine years of the fifties or sixties, that would have been a miscalculation.

Just like that, she practiced her cultivation early in the morning and late at night, and spent the rest of her time organizing her hoarded goods.

At mealtime, she would go to fetch a cup of hot water, brew some powdered milk, eat a piece of the white flour pancake baked by Grandma Xie, peel a hard-boiled egg, and occasionally crunch on a small apple produced in Australia or eat a piece of handmade chocolate from Turkey; the four-day journey felt like the blink of an eye.

When the train arrived at the station, Xie Yang did not wait for the passengers to get off one by one, but instead grabbed her bundle and nimbly jumped out of the window.
