Chapter 190: Returned Just in Time

"Yes." The system answered very crisply and neatly, "But the host forgot to mention one person: your husband will be promoted and get rich, die his wife, and become a great treacherous official."

Du Ruo: "... This is not important."

What is important is why she and Jiang Zhan and the others ended up in such a miserable state?

Through the system's interference, can fate be changed?

She remembered what happened in the examination hall last time. If there hadn't been the "Destroy Corpse and Erase Traces Pill" provided by the system, it was clear that Jiang Zhan would have been unable to defend himself, been expelled, been exiled, and finally died miserably at the border as the system said.

This was enough to show that the gears of fate were still turning in the previous direction, but because she was prepared, she was able to turn danger into safety and forcibly change the trajectory.

Jiang Zhan was like this, and she, Jiang Wan, and Jiang Sheng must be like this too.

It seems that she still cannot take it lightly. One Lin Pozi died, but maybe another Zhang Pozi or Wang Pozi would come out, just like the large white tiger in the dream, eyeing her family and wanting to kill them.

"There is no need to be overly worried. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will be straight. The host can kill one Lin Pozi, and naturally, she can kill other *pozi*."

The system wasn't worried at all, "Besides, isn't there this system? This system is a super-strong system from the trial planet, the ancestor of all systems, with strong strength!"

Du Ruo rolled her eyes.

"Fine, ancestor, stop bragging or it will break. Hurry up and pull out my data to see."

It had been almost a month since the last data check. Too many miscellaneous things had happened in between, and she hadn't had time to look.

It just so happened that Jiang Li hadn't returned yet, and she was idle, so she pulled it out to take a look.

The virtual screen slowly unfolded, showing Du Ruo's previous data, as well as what tasks she had done during this period, how many points she had earned, and what she had bought—all in all, clear and distinct.

Host: Du Ruo

Available points: 0.5

Level: 3 (Need 46 more points to reach the next level)

Mall: Unlocked

Task 1: Build a new house of no less than 500 square meters, can get 50 points (Incomplete);

Task 2: Facilitate the eternal evil fate between Hao Jinzhi and Jiang Zongbao, can get 30 points (Completed);

Shopping list 1: Ten dried silkworms, costing 10 points (already deducted);

Shopping List 2: One slimming pill, cost 2 points;

Shopping List 3: One growth hormone, cost 5 points;

Shopping List 4: One pair of invisible height-increasing shoes, cost 1 point;

Shopping List 5: One Baoji pill, can stop abdominal pain, cost 0.5 points;

Shopping List 6: One heatstroke pill, cost 0.5 points;

Shopping List 7: Two taste-loss pills, cost 1 point;

Shopping List 8: One Destroy Corpse and Erase Traces Pill, cost 1 point;

Shopping List 9: One pack of silence powder, cost 2 points;

Shopping List 10: Two live large cockroaches, free gift;

Shopping List 11: One painkiller, for period pain, cost 1 point.

"In other words, the host earned a total of 30 points during this period and spent 14 points." The system summarized.

Du Ruo was incredulous.

Sure enough, women are willful when they have money. She didn't even realize that in this short month, she had bought so many things!

"Then those 14 points can be exchanged with silver, right?"

"Yes, that is 140 taels of silver."

140 taels, for the current Du Ruo, really wasn't much.

Since points can be exchanged for silver, and she had several thousand taels in her hand now, couldn't she go straight to the peak?

Du Ruo was happy in her heart, ready to speak.

"Don't even think about it." The system sensed her good plan and immediately put on a ruthless face, "Points exchanged for silver can only be used for shopping, not for upgrading. To upgrade, you must do tasks."

"..." Du Ruo couldn't help but *hehe*.

"I think you might as well change your name. Don't call yourself Little Tong, call yourself Little Dog."

Truly a dog.

Didn't say it earlier, but said it when someone was about to upgrade. What is this, the final interpretation right belongs to you?

Angry is angry, but the rules are set by the system, and she can only follow them.

"Fine, how many points are left? Use them all to upgrade!" Anyway, she had money, so she wasn't afraid of not having enough points to buy things.

As the words fell, the screen immediately updated Du Ruo's latest data.

Host: Du Ruo

Available points: 0

Level: 3 (Need 15.5 more points to reach the next level)

Mall: Unlocked

After the house is built, she can get another 50 points, and then she can reach level 4, and then she can buy the "Heart-Returning Pill" that Jiang Wan needs.

Only after eating the Heart-Returning Pill will Jiang Wan's illness be considered cured, and Du Ruo's heart can be completely put down.

After calculating these rotten accounts, Du Ruo took out the silver notes and counted them.

Sure enough, it was 140 taels less, and there were still more than 800 taels left.

With so much money, let alone in the small Longquan Cun, even in the county, it was considered a well-off family.

If it were in her previous life, Du Ruo would have taken the money without a word, taken the whole family to the city to buy a house, and lived a leisurely life.

But ancient times are different from modern times. The ancient household registration system and clan concepts are all constraints on a person's development outside.

Even if she wanted to move out of Longquan Cun, she had to wait until Jiang Zhan passed the imperial examination and became an official, and the Jiang family's second branch had a foundation.

So for now, just honestly nest in the village.

Du Ruo put the silver away, opened the door to go downstairs to eat something, but happened to meet the hot-headed youth who stood up for Lin Qingshuang yesterday.

The hot-headed youth was carrying a bundle, looking like he was planning to check out.

Seeing Du Ruo, the guy's eyes immediately lit up like a searchlight, and he ran to her to greet her, "What a coincidence, Lady Du, are you going out too?"

Du Ruo returned a distant but polite smile, "Hello."

Then she moved two steps to the side without a trace.

Although this hot-headed youth didn't look like a bad person, she always felt his brain wasn't quite normal. Who stares straight at someone else's wife, not knowing how to avoid suspicion at all.

"My surname is Fang, called Fang Zhiye, and I came from Fengyang Prefecture to do business." The hot-headed youth didn't notice Du Ruo's resistance at all, and hurriedly took out a post from his bosom and handed it to her, "This is my name post. If Lady Du encounters difficulties in Fengyang Prefecture in the future, you can look for me; I will definitely help with all my strength!"

Du Ruo didn't want to take it, but didn't want not to take it either.

Just when she was in a dilemma, a big palm reached out from the side and snatched the name post away neatly.

Immediately after, a cold and low voice sounded: "Since that's the case, I will thank Brother Fang for his kindness on behalf of my wife."

Fang Zhiye's face stiffened, and he cleared his throat awkwardly, "Bailiff Jiang is back so soon?"

Jiang Li smiled, but the smile had no temperature, "Yes, returned just in time."

Fang Zhiye: "..."

Seeing the situation was not good, he hurriedly bowed, "The sky is not early, I should also set off back to Fengyang Prefecture. Bailiff Jiang, Lady Du, goodbye."

After saying this, he didn't dare to look at Du Ruo again, and ran downstairs like he was greasing the soles of his feet.

This man surnamed Jiang is not easy to mess with, run, run.

Du Ruo chuckled.
