The best survival in troubled times

"Second uncle, what are you and Pearl doing this early in the morning?"

The old man laughed immediately when he heard this.

"We, Pearl, have decided to take the exam in the countryside this time. So we are going to register today."

The woman in the car sneered when she heard this.

"If your girl can pass the exam, our dog can also pass the exam."

The old man looked back at the woman, curled his lips slightly, and said nothing. He thought to himself that when I get back, I will tell the old woman and let her scratch you.

"If you are a man, don't go back and talk about your wife. Like a woman, go home and find a woman when something happens."

The old man didn't think it was shameful at all, but rather felt it was a bit honorable.

"Why, that's my old lady. I've been wronged. Can't I go back to find him? If I come to you, can you help me? If you want to help me, I'll come to you."

The woman rolled her eyes fiercely when she heard this. She was about to say something, but she shut her mouth when she thought of Mrs. Wang's fighting power.

The young man driving the bus didn't say a word when he heard this.

The car swayed, making Pearl feel sleepy, and finally arrived in the town.

When getting off the car, Pearl looked at this shabby little town.

There were many men, women and boys and girls in the town, all dressed up and looking like they wanted to sign up.

Everyone stood in front of a gate that looked like a government office.

Soon someone came out and posted a notice. If you wanted to take the exam, you had to register one by one.

The old man quickly ran to the front and took a seat. Pearl was stunned for a long time before she realized that the old man was trying to grab a seat.

Pearl walked up to the old man, and the yamen servant who came out looked at the fat girl in front of him. It was really rare to see such a fat girl when she was so thin.

"Sir, we need to sign up."

The yamen servant looked at the fat girl in front of him, and then at the thin old man in front of him.

"Come in with me one by one."

Registration is very fast, just write your address and name.

The last people to register were all waiting in a courtyard. The yamen officer took the registration list and looked at the people in the courtyard to check it again.

"Go back. You can take the exam in two months."

As fast as everyone came, they left just as fast.

When we went back, no one took the bullock cart because the bullock cart had to pull things.

Pearl looked at the old man in front of her. Every step he took was very slow, getting slower and slower, and finally sat on a stone to rest.

"Dad, can we each eat half of this cake?"

The old man looked at it and saw that this was the butter cake that the old lady mentioned before. He shook his head.

"Dad, you're not hungry, and your teeth are not good. You can eat by yourself."

Pearl sniffed the cake and wrinkled her nose.

"I won't eat it. If you don't eat it, I'll throw it away. This cake is already smelly."

The old man glared at Pearl, took it over, and took two bites. The cake was not big, so he ate it in three or four bites.

After eating, the old man felt that his stomach was hot, and he came back to see his daughter.

"You just gave me the child, and you said you wanted to throw it away. Don't say that again in the future. You have to cherish the food."

The two of them walked back for a long time, and Pearl felt that the soles of her feet had big blisters.

Pearl has never seen anything too green along the way. It is summer now, and green things will flutter.

Pearl walked back, too tired to speak. She lay on her kang and squinted her eyes.

"Lazy man, do you think there is any way to get some food now? I can't starve to death as soon as I come here."

"Yes, yes, as long as you finish studying a book, I can exchange it for you for some food."

Pearl was happy to hear this. If she watched more, she would earn more food, and she wouldn't have to take any exams in the future.

"Then that book I was reading before, why don't you give me food?"

"I originally planned to give it to you, but you never said you wanted it. Food is not that easy to get."

"Then give it to me now."

"No, I can open a platform for you and you can exchange with them."

Pearl was dumbfounded when she heard this.

"I've worked hard to finish reading a book, so you can open up a platform for me instead of just giving me food. Are you interested?"

"It's boring. You don't have to change it. The system is not in a hurry anyway."

"Okay, okay, I'll change it, so what should I exchange it for?"

"You can exchange it, but the things you exchange cannot exceed this time and space. You can only exchange things that exist in this time and space."

When Pearl heard this, she felt like a thunder struck from the sky.

"If I wanted to change it to ice cream, it would be impossible."

"Yes, because this time and space does not exist. This platform can only exchange food, water, and plants."

"Can't it be replaced with something else?"

"The host's current permissions are not enough. If you only have one lazy point, what else do you want to change? You can only open space replacement if your laziness point is enough. If you are not lazy enough, you can't open it."

Pearl nodded feebly, feeling that it was too boring. She worked so hard but couldn't change anything.

"Then let's change it first, and then we'll talk about it."

After Pearl said this, the system showed nothing for a long time.

"You're not so stingy, are you?"

"Host, you haven't finished the book yet. You don't think I'm going to give it to you, do you? I told you that you can't finish it, but I can't open a platform for you."

Pearl now wants to die. She has been reading this book for a long time, and the more she reads, the more uncomfortable she becomes.

I picked up the book over and over again and continued reading.

I watched it in the space at night and in my room during the day. I watched it all day and night, and finally finished it.

"Is it okay now?"

"Yes, you can open the platform at any time."

After the platform opened, Pearl was dumbfounded.

I looked at the platform in front of me, stumbling.

"This is what you said to me. I have so many things, do I have so much money to exchange them with others?"

"Host, don't be impatient. As long as you have something, you can barter."

"Are you kidding me? I have something to trade with others. Look at what's here."

Pearl saw that there were immortal cultivators, orcs, the apocalypse, everything, but there was also an interstellar?

But there was nothing that Pearl could afford. Looking at the dazzling pages in front of her, Pearl felt that she had read all the books in vain.

"Host, scroll down and open the little dot at the bottom."

Pearl opened the most inconspicuous little dot and almost fainted when she saw what was there.

Everything here can be exchanged, and it's very cheap.

"But the food here is useless for me to exchange for food. There are only books here."

"You can only exchange for this one thing. You can't exchange for anything else. You can only exchange books."

"See for yourself. If you want to change it, just change it. If you don't want to change it, forget it. The platform is only open for half an hour."
