Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

The patriarch of the Li family is quite old and has not received guests for a long time. Currently, almost everything in the Li family is decided by the wealthy Mr. Li, except for the peach tree. Although the peach tree is in the Li family's possession, almost all the peaches that grow on it each year are given away by the family to people through connections. Even though the eldest son of the Li family is the only legitimate son, he eats the leftover peaches that don't look as good.

Therefore, Young Master Li dared not make any decisions on his own regarding touching any branch or even a single flower on this tree.

Originally, judging from the implication in Young Master Li's words, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu thought they were really going to return empty-handed this time. However, to their surprise, the Li family patriarch agreed, and he even personally cut a branch for the two of them.

The Li family patriarch held a freshly pruned branch in his hand and handed it to Shi Shaoyu with a kind expression.

"Anyway, this peach tree needs to be pruned every year. Consider this year's branch as an early pruning. I hope that if the young master succeeds, he can let me know."

Apart from Shi Xiucai, everyone else around was bewildered by the attitude of the Li family patriarch. Given his status and age in Linshui County, there was really no need for him to be so polite to Shi Shaoyu, or even to Shi Xiucai.

In contrast, Scholar Shi simply smiled and politely thanked the Li family patriarch.

Having obtained the branches, the group quickly took their leave. Young Master Li, in a daze, saw them off from the manor. He stared blankly at the departing carriage, unable to discern anything special about it or the people inside.

Oh no, you can't say there isn't. Could it be because they are all exceptionally handsome?

Young Master Li shuddered and quickly banished those unrealistic thoughts from his mind. Instead of making wild guesses here, he figured he might as well go and perform well before the patriarch; maybe he could get the answer he wanted.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu headed straight for the peach orchard after getting the items. To prevent the children from picking peach blossoms again, the orchard had been cordoned off by Uncle Nian's orders. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu recalled what they had recorded, and personally picked the buds they had chosen and grafted them onto the target branches of the peach trees.

In the following days, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, along with their servants and hired villagers, kept fertilizing and catching insects on the peach trees, and even removed the new buds on the rootstock, all to ensure that the rootstock had enough nutrients to provide for the corresponding scion.

Persistence pays off. While everyone else—except Ji Han—had turned black, all the grafted scions survived. The only regret for Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu was that they wouldn't be able to enjoy the grafted fruit until next year at the earliest.

The two of them struggled for more than half a month, but they couldn't see any results. For a while, everyone in the village was saying that Scholar Shi and his wife were spoiling Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu too much. Even Ji Han didn't expect that this would increase their dark value. How many people disliked him!

However, what Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu didn't know was that the darkness wasn't caused by them being spoiled too much. Rather, it was because after they bought the peach orchard, the village children could no longer come to play or pick peaches.

Especially recently, a distinguished person passing by even spent money to buy peach blossoms. For those children who rarely see money, cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents. You can see that because of this, Ji Chun and Shi Shaoheng have far fewer children playing with them.

Looking at the pitiful three hundred coins in their account, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu felt a little tired. With their small bodies, when would they ever be able to earn enough for a hundred tons of gold?

With the peach tree matter settled, the two had no choice but to return to school once again. After all, they had both taken the small pills in the previous world. Although the Body Strengthening Pill and the Strength Pill disappeared along with their virtual bodies, a considerable portion of the mental power development potion had an effect on their souls. Therefore, they could be considered child prodigies in this world.

However, all their previous unusual behavior was covered up by Shi Xiucai and his wife, so everyone's impression of them was that they were two rather intelligent children, oh, and now we have to add a spendthrift to that!

The bright children, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, are currently openly passing cheat sheets in Shi Xiucai's class.

[Ji Han: Shi Shaoyu, do I know the best way to earn points right now?]

[Shi Shaoyu: What method? At our current age, our scholar father would rather hide us away. There's no way we can become famous now. He'd just shut us down.]

[Ji Han: Of course I know that, but when we do missions, how do we earn faith points without a reputation? Where do we get merit points if we don't help others? Even darkness points—if you're not famous, you won't get any points. After all, who would hate a complete stranger?]

[Ji Han: Shi Shaoyu, have you ever thought about going back to your old profession?]

[Shi Shaoyu: You mean...]

[Ji Han: Yes! It's the one you're thinking of!]

[Shi Shaoyu: But, is this feasible? Putting aside the speed of information dissemination at this time, what if what I write offends the higher-ups? That could mean the execution of nine generations of my family!]

[Ji Han: Are you stupid! In a monarchical system, you're not even a nobody, what are you talking about politics for? Even if you do, someone has to listen! Even bookstores wouldn't dare sell your stuff!]

[Ji Han: We could write storybooks! If they're well-written, we'll have no trouble finding bookstores to sell them!]

Shi Shaoyu... Shi Shaoyu shamefully felt tempted. So, after the last world, three-year-old Shi Shaoyu once again took up his old profession of writing. However, this time, due to his physical condition, he was not strong enough to hold the pen, so he could only ask Shi Shaoheng to write for him. In the end, they split the money they earned equally.

At first, Shi Shaoheng was just trying to amuse his younger brothers. The main reason was that once his brothers had something to do, they wouldn't always try to make things more difficult for him in class. Heaven knows how much pressure he felt every day having a genius younger brother. He even ate less than half a bowl of rice when his brother came to class!

However, Shi Shaoheng did not expect that the story told by Shi Shaoyu would be so wonderful. Even before he finished writing and sold the story, he knew that this storybook would definitely sell well and make a lot of money.
