The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Chapter 28: First, we need to find someone influential in the Eastern faction.

The chubby system was so charmed by the sweet words that it lost its bearings and failed to grasp the deeper meaning behind Ruan Mianmian's words, so it happily shut its mouth.

At this moment, General Wang Yingdao returned. Seeing the leaders making plans on the side, he did not go over to them, but instead walked towards Ruan Mianmian. When he saw that the photo was taken and produced immediately, he was amazed and asked a lot of questions.

Ruan Mianmian didn't quite understand the principle behind it, so she said, "I don't really understand any of this. How about this, the soldiers take a few Polaroid cameras with them this time, and I'll go and look through them to see if there are any books on this topic. If we find relevant books, we can do our own research and development later, and we can be at the forefront of the world and make some money first."

"This is good!" General Wang Yingdao nodded repeatedly.

Although taking photos isn't the most important thing right now, it's always good to focus on development and making more money.

After receiving the calligraphy and photos, Ruan Mianmian led the leaders to select books.

The fat system didn't prohibit it, and Ruan Mianmian wanted to cram everything about the future into the Western faction of this era, so she called everyone to push shopping carts and head straight to a corner of the supermarket with eight rows of books.

Since the Western School is mostly composed of strategists and theorists, Ruan Mianmian completely disregarded books on philosophy and instead focused on selecting science and engineering books.

It's a pity that there aren't many books here, and the variety is limited. Even after careful selection, Ruan Mianmian only managed to fill a shopping cart with books.

Later, she changed her perspective and realized that textbooks were very suitable, so she went on a buying spree of textbooks and supplementary books for all subjects.

However, since one shopping cart wasn't enough, she first pushed the first cart of science and engineering books to the checkout counter on the first floor before going back to load more textbooks.

Once everything was packed, Ruan Mianmian looked at the shopping carts that the leaders had already filled and found that most of them were books on literature, history and philosophy, including books such as "A Global History", "A Brief History of Time" and "The History of the Eastern Power in the Eyes of the Western World".

Ruan Mianmian did not offer any advice such as not to pick up literature, history, and philosophy books and to pick up science and engineering books instead. For many people in the Western school, literature, history, and philosophy books are more likely to stimulate their thinking. Besides, reading history makes people wise, and that is not just a saying.

Soon, Ruan Mianmian was glad that she hadn't said much.

After the leaders selected the books they were interested in, they began putting every book on the bookshelf into their shopping carts. As they did so, they said to Ruan Mianmian, "Many of these books may seem ordinary to you, but for many people, they are invaluable sources of knowledge. So, we'll try to take as many books as possible from here."

"That's right. Even if some history books are superficial or over-interpreted, they still have their highlights and can be inspiring, so they are worth reading."

Ruan Mianmian glanced at the books that General Wang Yingdao and the leaders had chosen and decided not to mention the detours that Dongda University had taken and the growing pains in the process of social development, because the books they had chosen had basically covered everything.

Compared to what the professionals in the book said, she knew very little, and it was undoubtedly much more superficial. After all, her education only went up to high school level, and she had only studied exam-oriented content. She was actually not clear about many things in the process of social development.

The four of them made three trips before they were able to bring one copy of each book.

Ruan Mianmian went to the supermarket warehouse to find cardboard boxes and burlap sacks to pack the books.

The books were packed, and the soldiers' supplies were all moved to the cashier.

Ruan Mianmian looked over and saw that most of the items were rice, flour, salt, oil, sugar, pork, chicken, duck, cured meat, and sausages. There were also many warm clothes and shoes, several large bags of instant noodles and compressed food, as well as medicine, magnesium rods, matches, lighters, glow sticks, stoves, gas canisters, kettles, water purification tablets, and various stainless steel lunch boxes...

Very good. Everyone explored on their own and brought almost everything they could.

Seeing that Ruan Mianmian was examining the supplies, General Wang Yingdao said somewhat apologetically, "Comrade Ruan, there are some things we really need, so we've emptied the place. When you collect the money, could you charge us a little more?"

Ruan Mianmian hurriedly said, "There's no such thing as emptying the warehouse. There's still plenty left. I'll just move them out later. As for the fees, there's no need to talk about them. Just give me one cent per trip. Actually, if it weren't for the requirement to conduct a transaction, I wouldn't charge you at all."

General Wang Yingdao's eyes lit up: "There are still supplies in the warehouse? How much?"

The leaders and Wang Changsheng also looked at Ruan Mianmian with expectant eyes.

Although a lot of supplies were moved this time, it was far from enough for the soldiers to eat. If possible, they hoped to move as much food as possible.

Ruan Mianmian said generously, "As many as you want."

“Okay! Then we’ll come back to move it tomorrow, is that alright?” General Wang Yingdao asked excitedly.

Ruan Mianmian nodded without hesitation: "Of course. You can come up and move things whenever you need them. You can come up and move things every day for the next six months, no problem."

General Wang Yingdao was clearly pleased and exclaimed loudly again, "Excellent!"

The other leaders also smiled.

The reason is simple: the food shortage is too great, which has always been a major concern for them.

Now, this problem has finally been solved.

At this moment, Staff Officer Sun Changsheng, who was in charge of preparing and allocating supplies, looked at Lei Ying: "On the south side of the snow mountain, just bring enough food for the soldiers to eat one meal. Move the rest to the north side. When the other soldiers arrive, they can take it directly, so they won't have to carry it over the snow mountain again."

Lei Ying immediately nodded: "Okay!"

While the soldiers were packing food and supplies, Ruan Mianmian took the opportunity to have Zhang Ying and Jiang Yingchen take photos with a Polaroid camera. After the luggage was all packed, they took a group photo and then sent out the things they had prepared to give to the leaders.

It was getting late, and the soldiers couldn't stay any longer. They quickly set off with the food. As for the books, they only had some carried by horses. The rest of the books, along with more food, meat, and other supplies, would be carried up by people every day.

Before leaving, General Wang Yingdao patted Ruan Mianmian on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Comrade Ruan, you are still young, as dazzling as the rising sun. Don't dwell too much on the unpleasant things in life."

He could see that although the girl was full of youthful vigor, there was always a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

Ruan Mianmian's nose tingled with emotion, and she nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Staff Officer Sun Changsheng echoed his sentiments and gently comforted him: "Comrade Ruan, your era is just beginning, so be more optimistic and happier."

He was gentle and attentive by nature, and could naturally see the unhappiness hidden beneath Ruan Mianmian's optimism.

Ruan Mianmian's vision blurred.

After saying goodbye, General Wang Yingdao and his entourage turned and left.

However, after taking a few steps, Staff Officer Sun Changsheng couldn't help but turn back, walk up to Ruan Mianmian, and ask, "Comrade Ruan, you will be staying in this world for half a year. If we move enough food in advance and you are not needed to guard this place, will you go to other places for a visit?"

Ruan Mianmian immediately nodded: "Yes." Having finally come all this way, she was determined to travel around and see what this era was like.

Staff Officer Sun Changsheng smiled and nodded: "It's nice to travel around. Our destination is Yanzhou. You are welcome to visit us there."

Ruan Mianmian was silent for a moment before finally speaking: "I don't know if I'll have time to go to Yanzhou, because I need to find someone in the Eastern faction who can speak on my behalf first."
