Chapter 2184: Chapter 2185: My Cousin Is a Capitalist Heiress 4
System: If you want to purchase something, you can buy it from here.
Oh, Zhang Yu was once again startled by the elusive system: Didn’t you go somewhere else?
System: I appeared because I heard you needed something. Whenever you have a need, I’ll definitely arrive.
Zhang Yu chuckled coldly a few times: Yeah, there’s money to be made here, so you have to show up.
Zhang Yu: You said you got assigned a task this time. Right, you mentioned the client is so pitiful, do you have anything to offer?
System: I don’t know, I’m just a system.
Zhang Yu: What I mean is, I’m planning to reduce my rewards. I know you actually don’t have Gold Coin. How about giving me a discount on purchases, say, 30% off.
What? The system was startled by Zhang Yu’s proposal of 30% off: How can it be 30% off? I don’t have that authority at all. I can only offer 50% off.
Zhang Yu: Alright, 50% off it is, from now on whenever I shop, it’s gonna be 50% off.
Zhang Yu felt a sneaky delight inside, so happy, really happy. This time she truly managed to finesse the system and nail this wool-gathering opportunity.
Oh boy, the system realized it was truly misled by Zhang Yu this time. 50% off is the highest discount it could offer, but it couldn’t make every shopping trip 50% off.
System: For this task, you take the basic fee, you’ve got a discount, but for the next task, you won’t.
System: This time I can give you 50% off.
Who would’ve thought the system would react so quickly? But Zhang Yu thought it was normal. After all, the system was momentarily inattentive and trapped itself: You mean when I take on tasks like this in the future, I can shop at half price in the mall by taking the basic fee?
The system always felt like Zhang Yu was digging a hole for it, but even after thinking and thinking, it couldn’t detect any problem with it.
Moreover, this time it wasn’t paying attention, just thinking it could snatch the task, but didn’t expect it to turn out like this. Actually, the system knows that many tasks are like this, not every client has money, but those exposed to Zhang Yu and others are carefully selected.
System pondered: Fine, let’s settle it this way.
Ah? Zhang Yu had prepared herself for the system to protest continuously, never expected it to agree at one go, the speed of this decisiveness made her a tad unaccustomed.
Zhang Yu: System, you’re unexpectedly kind?
Facing Zhang Yu’s skeptical tone, the system felt quite dissatisfied: You can do good deeds, but I can’t?
System: Maybe just this time...
Upon hearing that, Zhang Yu definitely wasn’t happy: No way, I know the system is too good. You really are the best system. In the future, for tasks like this, it’ll be 50% off. We’ll make contributions together.
Taking advantage of this discount, of course, Zhang Yu bought a lot of food and drinks, millet porridge, assorted treasure porridge, and self-heating meals, self-heating hot pot, buns, dumplings, instant noodles, various pastries weren’t forgotten, and of course, pork belly and more. The upcoming task is quite tough.
While checking out, Zhang Yu suddenly remembered the most important thing she hadn’t bought—sanitary pads which are truly essential.
Day use, night use, all sizes, ordered twenty boxes of each, and of course, safety pants can’t be left out, they really provide much convenience.
After buying all these, Zhang Yu finally felt relieved, and generously handed over the payment.
The system looked at the long shopping list, its heart was truly bleeding: You, you actually procured so many items?
Since knowing Zhang Yu, this was the first time it saw her spending money like water within the system: I really didn’t expect it.
Zhang Yu: Yeah, after all, it’s 50% off, and I’m heading to the 1970s, you probably know better than me how life is over there.
Hearing Zhang Yu say that, the system kept quiet, indeed, going there requires ample preparation.
After eating and drinking to satisfaction, Zhang Yu closed her eyes, ready to join the task.
Upon waking again, she found it was midnight. Looking at the familiar environment, Zhang Yu was in quite a good mood since she hadn’t set off yet, which was nice.
God knows, just moments ago she was thinking, not knowing where she might arrive, what if she was sent to the Northeast, then what? That place is far from home.
No matter how much the family cherished Zhang Hui, during her years as an intellectual youth in the Northeast, they didn’t bring her back; she hadn’t gone home, not to mention Zhang Yu.
Luckily, she hadn’t left yet. In short, anything is possible. Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Guessing from the moonlight outside, it seemed to be after midnight, a perfect time for action in the dark, shouldn’t miss it.
Zhang Yu quietly got out of bed, opened the door softly, ready to go out, knowing from the original owner’s memory where the Zhang Family hid things. Otherwise, she’d spend time searching, very wasteful indeed.
Walking to the gate, who would’ve thought the Zhang Family would stash items underneath the gate?
Indeed, who would anticipate it here, even if someone digs them out, they could still feign ignorance, as it isn’t exactly in their home, claiming it was left by previous homeowners.
At the gate, without stepping outside, she took out gloves from space. These gloves weren’t ordinary; they could fetch items through space, with a usage limit of ten times, naturally pricey.
Previously, Zhang Yu wouldn’t even glance at them twice, not only due to their cost but thinking they were unnecessary.
For her, there are treasures within space; although each time items are fetched, restrictions apply, non-task related valuables have a certain limit, it’s still ample for her to get started.
This time the idea was to take away these items to somewhat disgust people of the Zhang Family. She knew upcoming is a high demand period for money, as Zhang Tao works, but he would soon marry, needing money.
Zhang Hui went to the Northeast as an intellectual youth, for her to live well there, the family sent packages every two months with money and tickets inside.
To swap for nationwide tickets on the black market requires more money; given their narratives before the Ge Family, the gist was to ensure Zhang Hui lives well in the Northeast, lots of ticket swaps were carried out to that effect, the assets initially gifted by the Ge Family are mostly spent.
Internally estimating, Zhang Hui did use quite a bit, yet not entirely for them, the Zhang Family liked to eat well, frequently indulged in nice meals, often dining out, also consumed quite some meat at home.
Just because neighbors didn’t smell it doesn’t mean they didn’t eat meat; just transformed into wontons and meat buns, delightful smaller dishes.
Of course, the original owner never enjoyed these, Zhang Yu knew she wouldn’t either. Given that, it’s better to take everything away.
No reason for her to live frugally as an intellectual youth while others enjoy meat weekly, right?
Seeing everything’s been taken away, searched around some more, retrieving a few hidden small pieces of wealth, leaving nothing behind.
Seeing the boxes in space, Zhang Yu yawned, ready to return to rest, a tough battle awaited tomorrow.
She absolutely wouldn’t take the items brought to the Northeast by the original owner in past life, the original endured, but she refused.
As she quietly prepared to return to rest, unexpectedly she heard movements from Zhang Fu’s room, Zhang Yu couldn’t resist listening closely.
At this hour, they hadn’t slept, discussing something, definitely a major issue.
