Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating

Chapter 105: Chapter 105 Upgrade System

“My wife alone, you decide how much to give, I can tell you are a kind young man, and you surely won’t cheat an old lady like me.

I’m in a hurry to get money to treat my grandson!” Xu Ying said, her eyes reddening, but she dared not cry, lest her makeup run and give her away.

Seeing her truly pitiable state, Wu Qingsong couldn’t bear to make too much money off her and spoke, “You just want the money, right? The plain flour is at eighty cents per pound, rice is one yuan.

Chicken is two yuan per pound, pork is one yuan sixty, these are already the highest prices, any more and I won’t make a cent.”

Xu Ying’s eyes flickered; the grain was priced similarly to what Huo Chen had offered, but the meat was much less, it was several cents off, nearly one yuan less.

“Big nephew, isn’t that a bit too low?” Xu Ying said with a reluctant face.

Wu Qingsong immediately became displeased, “This is already high enough. If you don’t want to sell, then forget it. I’ve been working half the day and have to make some money; if I raise the price any more, I won’t make a cent.”

After that, he turned and was about to walk away. Sure enough, one shouldn’t pity this old lady; her heart is really dark, not giving him a chance to earn a penny.

Xu Ying saw his genuine willingness to leave and had a guess in her heart, she quickly called out to Wu Qingsong, “Okay, I agree.”

Wu Qingsong was still a little angry, but after all, he would make some money. It’s all about small profits and high turnover.

He nodded his head, “Then I’ll go back and get the money.”

“You can only come by yourself, if you bring another person, I won’t come out. Who knows if you’re a good person?” Xu Ying unreasonably said.

Wu Qingsong nodded in agreement, “Then I’ll come back here later by myself?”

“Mhm, just over there.” Xu Ying had found a hidden spot when she came; the area was deserted, overgrown with weeds, and there were several large trees for cover.

When the people came, she could immediately move the goods out.

Wu Qingsong went back and found Huo Chen, telling him about the big deal.

“Brother Chen, should we take this order? Although the unit price is lower, we can still make some money with such a quantity. I can go now if it’s okay.

That old woman is very cautious, and she doesn’t even want people to go.” Wu Qingsong said in an irritated tone.

Upon hearing this, Huo Chen was wary and hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Okay, be careful, and if anything feels off, run straight away.”

In the end, Huo Chen remained uneasy and went with him, but he did not show himself, letting Wu Qingsong inspect the goods and pay.

Wu Qingsong was quick too; he took the money and hurried to find Xu Ying, “Here, count the money.”

According to the goods Xu Ying mentioned, Wu Qingsong had calculated the money early on.

Xu Ying counted it once too; two hundred pounds of flour at one hundred sixty yuan, two hundred pounds of rice at two hundred yuan.

Chicken meat was twenty-five pounds, at two and a half yuan per pound, which added up to fifty yuan, pork was one hundred pounds in total at one hundred sixty yuan, and ducks were a bit more expensive than chicken, but they didn’t weigh as much.

Twenty ducks were only about eighty pounds, at two yuan thirty per pound, which totaled to one hundred eighty-four yuan.

“The total is seven hundred fifty-four yuan, please check, aunty,” Wu Qingsong handed over the money.

Xu Ying took the money, a thick stack of it, and casually placed it in her basket, in reality tossing it into her spatial storage.

With the three hundred ten yuan she had previously, she was now a thousand-yuan householder.

Before Xu Ying could rejoice, the system’s voice chimed in at an inopportune time [Host can now upgrade the system. Upgrading the system will unlock the shopping mall mode. Does the host want to upgrade?]

Xu Ying’s face pained, “Shut up, I think it doesn’t matter whether or not to upgrade, after all, I’m living quite well now.

What’s the use of upgrading? It’s just unlocking the shopping mall. I don’t need that many things; if I bring out those advanced items, others will think I’m a monster. Don’t upgrade, don’t upgrade.”

Upgrading once would cost 999, leaving her with only eleven yuan out of her thousand yuan.

And that was only possible after payday; without it, I wouldn’t even have a thousand yuan. Xu Ying just remembered that.

The system grew anxious; not upgrading was not an option. Everyone else’s systems were already Level 2 or higher, and it was still Level 1. How embarrassing to admit!

“Host, upgrading is very important,” the system urged. “With the purchase of drugs from the virtual store, there are no diseases that can’t be cured.

Moreover, after upgrading, products from the host’s store that don’t fit in with the current time and space can also be sold. Otherwise, it’s just a waste to have them sitting around.”

Xu Ying heaved a sigh and lamented, “System, I got it wrong, I’m still thirty-eight yuan short from a thousand, I don’t have the money to upgrade.

And I haven’t even settled into these years yet. As for those things, they won’t spoil. I can just wear them when the era comes around.”

The system grew more urgent, “I can offer the host a discount. 962 yuan will be enough to upgrade.”

“But that’s still too expensive, I don’t have the money!” Xu Ying exclaimed in agony.

The system felt the pinch. “That’s already the lowest price. Otherwise, wait a few more days. I remember you’re about to get paid.”

Xu Ying suddenly stopped pretending, “Damn system: upgrade.”

“Alrighty! Beep beep beep beep, the system is upgrading… beep beep beep beep, the system has successfully upgraded. The host can now reopen the system to view the store mode.”

With a flash of light, Xu Ying reopened the system to find a new page, similar to a certain treasure-filled website.

“System upgrade successful. Store mode is officially launched. The system presents the host with a Newbie Gift Pack as a draw prize. Please draw your prize promptly.”

Xu Ying felt a rush of excitement upon hearing this. She glanced at the nearby prize wheel, which read: First Prize, one thousand yuan; Second Prize, five hundred yuan; Third Prize, three hundred yuan; Fourth Prize, one hundred yuan; Fifth Prize, New User Discount Purchase once; Sixth Prize, Thanks for your patronage.

Xu Ying smirked to herself, certain this thing was a scam. Wasn’t this just the usual cash mode from a certain website?

Still, with a mix of anxious and hopeful feelings, Xu Ying clicked to draw the prize, silently wishing, “First Prize, First Prize, please let it be the First Prize.”

A burst of light flashed by, and when Xu Ying opened her eyes, the display showed she had won Third Prize.

“Wow, I won! Three hundred yuan!” Xu Ying was overjoyed at the thought of free money.

She almost jumped for joy.

Without bothering to check the prize, she rushed home all the way.

She hadn’t noticed that, in the distance, Huo Chen frowned as he saw a sprightly old lady run off.

Once home, Xu Ying hurriedly locked the front door, sprinted into her room, and opened the system again.

“System, where did the prize draw mode go?” Xu Ying couldn’t find the prize and became frantic.

“The prize the host drew is in the Personal Center. Please open the Personal Center to view it,” the system instructed.

Xu Ying searched around and indeed found the Personal Center.

There was a shopping cart, purchase history, and shopping items.

Among these was a virtual prize from the prize draw.

Xu Ying clicked on the prize to see the Third Prize reward of three hundred yuan.

But how to take out the money?

Xu Ying clicked on the Third Prize, and a flash of light appeared as she clicked to claim it.

Then she saw a line of text, her face contorted with awkward dismay, “System, come out right now, what’s the meaning of this?”
