Shen Li sat quietly on the tree stump, reached out from her arms and took out a steamed bun made of wild vegetables, and sighed involuntarily.

This steamed bread was given to her by her mother Zhang before she went out early in the morning.

Here, people don’t have the habit of eating breakfast. Those with better financial conditions can eat two meals a day, but most families only eat one meal a day, and that is at noon.

No wonder the original owner, Shen Daya, starved to death. Shen Li thought, if this continues, she would probably starve to death too.

It is said that we should make the best of things, but this black steamed bread, which is mainly made of millet and wild vegetables, is really hard to swallow.

She reluctantly stuffed the steamed bread back into her arms, picked up her homemade bamboo tube and took a sip of boiled water.

She couldn't help but think that the people here have always drunk well water or river water directly, but in recent years the weather has been dry, the water levels of rivers and wells have continued to drop, the crops in the fields have grown sparsely, and not much food can be harvested throughout the year.

After paying all those heavy taxes, there was no food left to eat.

Shen Li's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to her previous life. In fact, she did not commit suicide.

At that time, she and Shen Liu were celebrating their eighteenth birthday, and their parents came back specially to celebrate their birthdays.

The sisters' birthday gifts were a car each. After all, in a wealthy family, learning to drive in advance is not a difficult thing at all, and the sisters both got their driver's licenses early on.

The birthday party was extremely lively. Shen's father and mother invited many friends, and even celebrities came to show their support. In name, it was a birthday party for them, but in reality, the protagonist was Shen Liu.

Shen's mother said to her at the time: "After cutting the cake and showing your face, go back to your room. Look at you, you don't like to talk and you are not good at socializing."

Seeing that she went back to the room without saying a word, Shen's mother sighed, not knowing what to do. Ever since she knew that Shen Li was sick, she regretted not caring more about this eldest daughter who was actually the younger daughter. Shen Liu was always so sunny and considerate, and her grades were among the best, so whenever Shen Liu acted coquettishly and cute, her family seemed to agree to her request unconditionally.

She had never felt that these things had caused irreparable harm to Shen Li. Today was their birthday and she was afraid that those people would whisper and make Shen Li's condition worse.

Shen Li didn't say anything, and the diagnosis certificate given by the doctor emerged in her mind - "emotional deficiency disorder".

She also wanted to make a change, but the words were on the tip of her tongue but she couldn't say them. Growing up, she was used to people revolving around her sister.

Yes, she is the younger sister, but now she is the older sister in name only.

When she was a child, Shen Liu said she wanted to be a younger sister, because as a younger sister, she could not only get the love of her parents, but also the love of her older sister. So Shen Liu became the younger sister, and Shen Li became the older sister.

Shen Li disagrees with the term "emotional deficiency disorder." She thinks, if you all ignore me and don't love me, why should I care about you and love you?

So, after she was diagnosed with the disease, she did not tell her family.

Until this year, Shen's father arranged for many doctors to examine her, and the result was still "emotional deficiency disorder."

Shen Li just thought, whatever you say is what it is. Anyway, she didn't want to talk and refused to communicate with others.

After returning to her room on her birthday, her mind felt a little blank.

It was too noisy outside. Their house was a villa with a very large area. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it looked like a castle.

In fact, Shen Li didn't know how much money her family had. Look at the patched linen clothes she was wearing in ancient times. They were made from her mother's old clothes.

Shen Li especially regretted driving out that day. What happened at that time? It seemed that when she was driving, a boy on the side of the road looked at her with horror. She panicked and drove the car into the sea.

"Ali! Ali!" Xiaoqi's clear, loud, and baby-like voice floated out without warning, like a cheerful little bird.

Shen Li's ears were almost worn out by this baby voice. She had been waiting for Xiao Qi for a long time. Seeing that Xiao Qi was just shouting and not talking about business, she felt helpless and could only say in a bad mood: "Speak!"

"Ali, we have 120 points now, hehe." Xiao Qi's voice was filled with unconcealable excitement. "Ali, do you want to open the system mall?"

Xiao Qi knew what was going on. He knew Shen Li was a quiet person, so he didn't wait for Shen Li to respond. He just started talking non-stop: "Ali, you don't know, opening the mall is amazing. You can buy all kinds of super useful things. With these things, you can get more points more easily, and you will be more comfortable when completing tasks!"

Listening to Xiao Qi's words, Shen Li couldn't help but roll her eyes, which looked like she was going to roll her eyeballs to the back of her head.

She said slowly: "First of all, I have to correct you, those are my points, not our points."

"Also, how many points do you need to activate the mall? I remember you said 150 points last time? Look, I only have 120 points now. How can I activate it?"

When Xiao Qi heard this, his baby voice immediately changed into a flattering smile. No matter how he listened to it, it felt a bit vulgar. He said, "Ari, that's easy. As for me, I just need to earn less. I'll give you a discount. You can activate it with 120 points. Hehe, hehe!"

"No." Shen Li refused without a second thought. She knew in her heart that if she opened the account, her points would be eaten up by Xiao Qi, who would surely take a huge kickback from her!

"Ah? Why?" Xiao Qi became anxious when he heard it, and his voice rose several degrees.

It had finally found a host that could complete the mission, and thought it could finally earn enough points to get rid of this round spherical body. It had been secretly happy for a long time, and it couldn't let it go like this.

"Think for yourself." Shen Li was too lazy to explain to Xiao Qi. She squatted down, picked up the bamboo basket on the side, and planned to walk deeper into the mountain. In the bamboo basket was a sickle, shining with a cold light.

As for what the old people in the village often said about not going deep into the mountains, Shen Li didn't take it seriously.

In recent years, it seems that no large animals have come to the village to destroy crops, and no one in the village has the courage to go deep into the mountains to hunt.

"Ah...Ari, at worst, I won't earn points this time. You can just open the mall. This mall is really useful!"

Xiao Qi's voice was filled with anxiety. He hurriedly said, "You can buy a lot of things in the mall! Like invaluable elixirs, all kinds of food and daily necessities, and many other things related to food, clothing, housing, and transportation!"

Xiao Qi was calculating in his mind: As long as A-Li buys things, I can still earn points. There's no rush. Hehe, let's open the mall first?????????

After hearing what Xiao Qi said, Shen Li stopped and touched her chin, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she asked, "Are there planes? Are there cannons? Are there cars?"

When Xiaoqi heard this, he was stunned, as if he was struck by lightning. It took him a long time to react, and several big exclamation marks appeared in his mind.

"Items beyond the settings of this world cannot be purchased! This is an ancient feudal society, how could there be airplanes and cannons?" Xiao Qi said with a smile.

"If you don't deduct my points, how much can I get to activate it?" Shen Li asked again.

"One hundred points in the first-level mall." Xiao Qi raised the only two fingers on the ball in Shen Li's mind.

That would look as funny as it can be. Can you imagine a round white ball suddenly having two small sticks sticking out of it, one on each side?

And its usual image is a simple white ball, but at this time it looks like a weird little monster.

"Open it." Shen Li thought to herself, this mall might come in handy someday. Now she only has 20 points left, and she probably can't buy anything great. She still has to work hard to earn points.

"Yeah! Start right away." Xiao Qi jumped excitedly a few times in Shen Li's mind, and then spun happily like a small top.

"Ding! Your points are 120. 100 points will be deducted for opening the system mall. The remaining points are 20. Confirm/No."

"Sure." Shen Li said, "This system is quite humanitarian!"

"Ding! The host has opened the system mall." Xiao Qi scattered flowers in Shen Li's mind, and colorful petals fluttered around.

"Why can you scatter flowers? Did you deduct my points to buy special effects?" Shen Li deliberately bluffed.

"No, no." Xiao Qi said hurriedly. It poked itself with its two stick-like fingers and said pitifully, "This is a gift from the main system! After giving it the gift, it abandoned me! Woo wa wa wa..."

Shen Li felt a sharp pain in her head, as if a small needle was pricking her. She said impatiently, "Shut up! How can I look at the mall?"

"Ari can see it as long as she thinks about it." Xiao Qi said while sobbing.

When Shen Li heard this, he immediately thought in his mind: Open the mall.
