While seated, she suddenly heard another sound in her head, [HIDDEN MISSION REWARD: The host has sympathized with the common people and for that, you are being rewarded with two options; 1. The host can keep the pricing policy or, 2. The host can change the pricing policy to benefit the commoners; TIME LIMIT: 8 HOURS]
Alayna couldn’t believe that her rambling got her rewarded like this. As all items were priced with both monetary currency and spirit stones, sometimes most cultivators will opt for monetary currency to buy their goods and she didn’t like this at all.
So, without even waiting for the time limit she knows what she wanted and she didn’t delay to get what she wanted, "I will change the pricing policy. All cultivators from martial apprentice level 4 should all pay using spirit stones while the ones below and the commoners should use money."
[Are you sure about this?]
"Yes, I am very sure."
Alayna didn’t need to worry about money, her current profit share was 20% and she has saved a lot of money already despite donating some here and there.
Although the profits of getting spirit stones were tempting, she still needed to take into consideration others as well. She wanted to see others being happy and see the commoners who work so hard to earn a measly 10 copper coins and still smile as if they have won a one-million-dollar lotto, she wanted to see them happy as they enjoy her food and everything that she sells.
She wasn’t planning on monopolizing the market as her products will still remain more expensive than other people but she wanted them to at least afford them whenever they can.
[The pricing policy is being changed. Everything will be to standard the next day when business resumes.]
With this, she knew that everything was done but she didn’t leave as she took the book that she had been given for the stokvel program. She went into the office and sat down to take a closer look at the book.
As the stokvel program was divided into many groups and with several groups registered with her, so the book was also partitioned like that. She checked the book and noted down how the bookkeeper should record.
She was also planning on making some cards so that each member will have something that shows and proves that he/she is a member. It sorts of gives one assurance.
She checked her online shopping malls and quickly found the cards that she wanted; they were so affordable so she was able to buy several boxes of them. The contents of the cards were very simple, it only requires a name, age, address, and the group identifier number, and anyone was sorted.
She wasn’t going to fill this personally as she has employees, they will do their job and she will concentrate on hers.
Alayna was done with today’s job and since a lot of time has passed, she wanted to go home, and also it was time to check up on the kids’ cultivation.
It was time to reward them, it wasn’t like she wasn’t going to buy them the phones in the first place.
She returned to the house and found the kids in the living room; they were watching some variety show and they were laughing with joy.
When they saw her entering, their eyes lit up and she smiled at them, "how is your morning?"
Since she didn’t see them when she left, she had to ask.

"We are doing okay. We left breakfast for you, eat it before it gets cold," Merita said as her eyes anxiously looked towards the table.
Alayna felt joyful hearing this, as Merita would learn cooking at times, and she was able to cook some simple dishes. This was the main reason why she didn’t feel bothered when she left without cooking.
"Okay, I will go and eat."
Alayna under the expectant eyes of the two sat down and opened the food warmer. Inside was just a bowl of simple rice with eggs, it looked flawed in many ways but it was the thought behind it that counted.
"Do you think that she will like it?" Merita was so nervous when she asked her younger brother.
Neal couldn’t believe this sister of his, didn’t she already know that whenever it comes to the two of them whatever they did Alayna will always light up?
"She will love it!"
And for real, she really enjoyed it. Who cares about the uncooked grains of rice or the egg shells she chewed?
Her daughter prepared food for her and she was enjoying every single moment of it.
After having breakfast, Merita took the dirty washes and rinsed them before dragging Alayna to the living room.
Alayna looked at the four eyes staring at her with stars in their eyes and she knew that it was time, "okay, show me what you got. It better be good!"
The children giggled hearing this, being used to Alayna’s ways of doing this, they knew that even if they didn’t meet her expectations, she will not scold them or look down on them.
Alayna was looking forward to their progress so she started with Merita first and seeing how much she had progressed in this period; she patted the little girl’s head happily.
Without saying any words of encouragement, she motioned for Neal to go next and what he showed her, made her lament if she really transmigrated and whether some God was very biased towards her to torment her like that when she first arrived?
For a ten-year-old to reach martial apprentice level 4, she was in awe. She was so envious of such great talent but remembering that this genius was her son, she was all over the moon once more.
Her mood changes were preserved by the kids and seeing her smile so genuinely after that, they were relieved. Although Alayna had shown them just how much she loves them, they were still insecure, after their adopted mother was so powerful and she can have anyone, she wanted.
"Is this, okay?" Merita was actually nervous, she was just at level 2 and it bothered her a lot.
She didn’t want to disappoint Alayna, although her talent was low, she had tried her best to work hard and get the best results.
"How about I tell you a story before I give you an answer? Are you interested?" Alayna dodged the question and seduced the kids with something else.
The kids who love Alyana’s stories decided to listen to the story first and then check the answer later.
"Yes, tell us!"
Alayna seeing, they have taken the bait smiled, she didn’t want the kids to pressure themselves for no reason at all. work and no play make Jane a dull girl and she didn’t want dull kids next to her.
"Okay, this story is about myself. I have always wanted to be a cultivator since I was young so I did everything I could to reach that level. I was lucky enough to be taken in by the **** sect and to think that I possessed a red spiritual root, I was quite sad about this.
But there wasn’t anything that I could do to change this, so I didn’t lose hope and kept on practicing. But fate wasn’t on my side, even after cultivating for decades I only reached martial apprentice level 3, it was quite an embarrassment.
Without any great achievement in life, I was doomed to work for someone so at the age of thirty-three, I found myself being a maid for some fifteen-year-old. She was talented and by following her, I knew that my future will be at least better.
She didn’t treat me well but it was still better compared to before. After five years of being together, I finally got lucky and picked up a treasure. As everyone was picking treasures for themselves, there was no need for me to hand them over to her but she was so greedy that she not only took them from me but she also cut out my spiritual root and left me for dead.
I couldn’t even laugh at myself back then; my only regret was that I worked so much and never given myself a leeway to just be happy and enjoy myself. I wasn’t able to achieve anything and I was dying.
I lay in my own pool of blood waiting for the wild beasts to come and finish me up. With all hope lost, I surrendered and gave up everything. And when I thought that it was finally over, my knight in shining armor found me and rescued me.
That was my adopted father, he was a hunter and a very good man….," Alayna was tearing up at this stage as she recalled how loving her adoptive father was.
Even her own original family wasn’t that good to her and yet this man gave his whole heart to her. Alayna couldn’t stop her tears from falling and so did the kids who were hugging each other.
Who knew that there was someone who was even more pitiful than them?
