Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

A crackling sound of electricity rang out. "Host."

Sheng Changan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Where does the gold rewarded by the system come from?"

"Host, don't worry. Everything is done through formal channels."

"But why is the amount of gold rewarded by the system exactly the same as the amount lost by the palace?" Sheng Changan asked expressionlessly.

A moment of silence...

The system, for once, felt somewhat guilty. "I've heard a saying from your world that I think makes perfect sense: take from the people and give back to the people. I'm simply handing over what belongs to them to you in advance."

As it spoke, the system gradually began to sound justified. It was not wrong. It was just an advance payment of the host's money.

"..." Sheng Changan rubbed his forehead. "Did you collect all the tails? There's no mark on the silver, right?"

"Host, don't worry. I'm a professional at this." After saying this, the system sighed humanely.

"I have no other choice. Gold is a hard currency in many worlds. I can't get so much gold. I can only use a little energy to get it from the palace."

It was also a little depressed. The larger the host's territory expanded, the more energy it stored. Unfortunately, gold was something that could not be obtained in other worlds.

It can only move a little bit from this side, and even this consumes a lot of its energy.

"Don't do it next time." Although Sheng Changan didn't know what it was going to do with this energy, he could tell that it was indeed very heartbroken.

The system was somewhat touched. "Host, you are so kind."

Sheng Changan: "..." She wasn't doing it entirely for this. At first she thought the system was hard to fool, but it seems it's still easy to talk to!

She cleared her throat. "They all say I'm a nice person."

This time it was the system's turn to be speechless. It knew that the host was indeed a good person, otherwise, with so many people being sucked into the black hole, not all of them would get a chance to start over.

It was not just a coincidence that it chose her from so many people, but more that the destiny of this world chose Sheng Changan.

Wars, natural disasters, and finally there are only a few people left in this world. It is obvious that if they work together, the world can survive, but these people refuse to do so.

In the end, only a piece of black land is left, and the last survivors may not live long.

Of course, the space-time turbulence is not that simple. The system did not say anything else, but just slowly retreated, as if it had never appeared.

Li Hui's voice came from outside the room, "Sir, you have to wait for the child to come."

"Come in"

She was still dressed like a teenager, and her skin was covered in large patches of bruises, showing that she had been severely frozen.

There was a brazier in the room, and the temperature was much higher than outside. She scratched her red and itchy fingers uncomfortably. "What... do you want me to do?"

Perhaps she felt Sheng Changan's gaze lingering on her hand, so she hid her hand uncomfortably. "I... can do anything. Can you... help my brother?"

She was a little depressed. The person in front of her did not have a good reputation in the capital. Even though she knew this was doubtful, she did not dare to gamble. If she died, her young brother would really have no way out.

But now she had to come for help. In such weather, even if some kind-hearted person gave them something, it was still wishful thinking to survive this winter.

Not to mention her frail and sickly brother. "He's sick. Can you save him? I... can do anything."

Sheng Changan frowned slightly and said, "Let Xu Qing go over and take a look first." He was afraid that there would be more than one or two people with high fever this time.
