Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Zhou Chang didn't need to open his eyes to intuitively feel that the environment had changed in the darkness.

When I touched my side, Tao Niang was gone.

Instantaneous fusion of consciousness.

The room was dark and no one was around.

"Ah, why, counting with fingers..." Zhou Chang spoke to the system in his mind. For some reason, he couldn't help but utter the words "counting with fingers".

"Ahem," Zhou Chang sat up, reorganized himself, and simply asked the system directly, "I haven't decided what identity I want to change to, how can you unilaterally change my body to an old man's?"

The voice of the viewpoint system was particularly clear in the silence: "Last night you requested to change your identity. This is your choice. Otherwise, without authorization, this system cannot change your identity."

"This..." Zhou Chang was drunk for the first time at the latest, and his mind was also vague, "I calculated with my fingers, this identity should be a lot of commission, right?"

Viewpoint system direct display.

[Level: Lower 91]

【Commission: 24 taels】

【Order: 0】

"What? Counting with fingers." Zhou Chang almost bit his tongue. Why did the words "counting with fingers" come out of his mouth inexplicably, and his fingers moved unconsciously. "This status doesn't require a thousand taels, right? Besides, a thousand taels is enough to upgrade to the 'middle ninth class' level, isn't it?"

The viewpoint system's answer was always the same: "As far as I can see, according to your request, the highest you can get is this identity."

"No, you want to bully me because I have never seen the world?" Zhou Chang now turned to He Xi, the general manager of the Yuan family in Jindu.

An old man in his early fifties with gray hair and beard.

"With He Xi's status, I calculated that in his previous life, he was at worst a regional manager. How could he not have made it out of the 'lower nine classes'? And if his worth is worth 1,000 taels in commission, he should be in the 'middle nine classes'. Are you trying to trick me?" The more Zhou Chang thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Originally, she wanted to save more commissions and get a better status.

As for what is a better and more attainable identity?

From what he had witnessed in the past, Zhou Chang really had no idea, at least he hadn't had time to think about it carefully.

The viewpoint system has no emotions: "You are right. As the chief steward, He Xi's rating should be 'mid 99', but his second occupation is a magician, so he should be downgraded by one level."

"Magician?" Before Zhou Chang could react to what profession that was, he saw an eight-diagram bronze mirror hanging on the head of the bed in the dim light.

I woke up too early, it was still dark outside.

Zhou Chang stood up again and went to the Eight Immortals Table in the room to light the oil lamp. He then looked around the bedroom and was immediately surprised.

No wonder, no wonder, no wonder this old man speaks in a mysterious way and often mentions "counting with fingers".

In this huge bedroom, there is a bed on one side, and on the other three sides, there is a statue of the Jade Emperor on the south, a statue of Bodhisattva on the west, and a statue of Buddha on the east.

Various fortune symbols, copper coins and wooden plaques with unknown symbols painted on them were hung everywhere on the window frames and door frames.

On the antique display shelf and desk on one side, there are tortoise shells, bamboo sticks, divination sticks, various books and picture albums on alchemy.

"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a Jade Emperor statue."

"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a golden toad spitting money statue."

"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a Bagua bronze mirror."

Before Zhou Chang finished sweeping the whole house, a customer had already placed an order.

"Well, that's more like it." Zhou Chang didn't waste any time. He noticed and transferred the three orders over.

"Ding, congratulations, the transaction was successful, and the commission was sixty taels in total." The viewpoint system automatically integrated the reports.

"Why is it so few?" Zhou Chang counted his fingers again, but not for counting. Instead, he used his left thumb to randomly tap the other four fingers, like a Taoist priest making hand gestures.

Viewpoint System: "The goods are all inlaid with gold and are not valuable."

"Well, I don't need to count with my fingers to see that this old man's Taoism is not very good, at least his heart is not sincere." Zhou Chang took this opportunity to get to know He Xi.

He Xi was originally an orphan. After being taken in by the Yuan family, he worked as an apprentice in the Yuan family shop. Because of his cleverness and ability, he was later noticed by Miss Yuan's grandfather, who brought him up as a half-son.

Miss Yuan's father, Yuan Yu, was on good terms with He Xi in his early years. After inheriting the family business, he continued to use He Xi.

After the Yuan family's business in Jindu Imperial City stabilized, Yuan Yu was determined to expand northward and needed a trustworthy person to help look after the business, so he promoted He Xi to be the general manager of the Yuan family in Jindu area.

He Xi lived up to expectations and managed Jindu's business in an orderly manner.

When he was an orphan in his early years, he suffered a lot. Fortunately, with the guidance of a Taoist priest, he was able to enter the Yuan family shop. Later, he worked harder than others but was promoted smoothly and gained the trust of his boss. Now that he has become a manager with a high salary, He Xi does not think that it is all due to his own efforts, but believes that various causes and conditions, and even luck, play a large role in it.

Therefore, for many years, he worshipped Buddhas and Daoists, and used any method that could bring good luck and avoid misfortune. Since he passed the age of fifty, he and his wife have lived separately, devoted themselves to research and practice.

Not only that, ever since the incident with the Yuan family a few days ago, he has been doing a lot of divination in private, but it's hard to say whether the results were good or bad.

From Zhou Chang's perspective, this is just a half-baked method, and the calculations he made have no reference.

Since she had already gotten up and saw that it was still early outside, she held up the oil lamp and continued to "live broadcast and sell goods" in the Hexi room for a while.

Unfortunately, the results were minimal, and I guess it’s not easy to fool the customers on the other side of the plane.

Alas, a commission of one thousand taels.

Zhou Chang was just feeling a pain in his liver and lungs when a servant knocked on the door and brought him breakfast. "Report to the chief steward, the East Court has sent a message that you should go to the East Study to see the eldest lady after breakfast."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Zhou Chang agreed. Being able to see Miss Yuan up close might be the biggest benefit of his current identity.

Although He Xi had a mansion near the Yuan Mansion, in order to avoid being disturbed at night, he asked his employer for the lower courtyard of the mansion to live in, so it was very convenient to go there.

After taking a bite of breakfast, Zhou Chang went to Miss Yuan's study based on He Xi's memory.

The maid led him into the east study room: "The chief steward will wait a moment, the young lady will be here soon."

Zhou Chang stood in the study and waited, and took the opportunity to visit.

"Ding, the customer has placed an order for a blue and white porcelain vase."

"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a rosewood table screen."

"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a sky-blue jade bowl."

"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a cabbage jade carving."

"Ding……"

"Wait, after counting on my fingers, these orders... I can't accept them. Wouldn't that be embezzlement?" Zhou Chang gestured in the air unconsciously while scanning the antique shelf on one side of the study.

Miss Yuan's study was renovated when she came last year. It is small and elegant, and there are more good things in it than what you ordered, but she doesn't want to steal her things to sell.

"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a Yunzhengxiawei carved inkstone."

"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a wenge wood pen holder."

Zhou Chang shifted his gaze to the desk again, but he didn't expect the orders to continue to come in, so he could only make himself deaf.

"Ding, the client placed a pair of simple golden abacus orders."

Ok?

As her eyes wandered, she was also attracted by a pair of small golden abacus placed side by side on the Huanghuali desk.

There is a girl who has gained weight recently.

But she is very kind, can I add it to my collection? "
