As she traveled around, Ruan Mianmian deeply felt that this was a despairing era.

This is much more intuitive and profound than reading text in a book. Meeting so many people in this era, she felt even more exhausted and desperate than when she was bullied at school.

At that time, she still had hope. She always felt that once she got into university, she would get rid of all this. Once she graduated and had the ability to earn money, she would be able to escape her helpless predicament.

Here, apart from her companions, everyone was in a state of depravity and madness. She was unable to console anyone, whether they were aristocratic families who loved philosophical discussions, commoners from humble backgrounds who were striving for political power, or even the lowest-ranking commoners.

The "hooligans" here are not the modern-day hooligans. "Hhoo" refers to people who are homeless and landless, and "hooligans" refers to people who are unemployed.

This was a product of the times; she tried her best to change something, but she couldn't change anything.

She once put aside her own cultivation and the collection of bamboo slips and books left behind by the aristocratic families, and personally went to have philosophical talks with them, attempting to change their minds with what they loved and were good at.

But it was completely useless.

The powerful clans believed that what they were doing was what the sages in the classics advocated, and they used the examples of the gentry and commoners to prove it.

When Ruan Mianmian asked the people about it, they said that everyone was working hard and things would definitely get better and better.

But when they encounter commoners, they become arrogant and condescending, and they don't even bother to look at the common people.

Ruan Mianmian attended several intellectual conferences, but each time she returned empty-handed. She then realized that this was due to the limitations of the times, and that she had no way, nor was it possible, to fundamentally change a person's mindset within six months.

She suddenly had a change of heart.

History develops linearly, and we haven't reached that stage yet, so it's impossible for her to achieve it overnight.

All she could do was try her best to help more people survive.

As for the future of humankind, let time and history decide.

After coming to terms with it, Ruan Mianmian became much more carefree.

There are countless disaster victims, countless impoverished people, and many people who have no means of support, so the business in the mall is booming everywhere.

Some powerful clans and aristocratic families were unwilling to use the same things as ordinary people and commoners, so they specifically asked the department store to sell them separately.

Upon hearing this request, Yu Qingqing's face turned red with anger, and she was about to retort, but Ruan Mianmian stopped her.

After the powerful clans and noble families left, she exploded: "This is outrageous! What makes them so arrogant? How dare they make such unreasonable demands? Just wait, I'll find a way to beat them up later."

Having witnessed too much darkness these days, she was both distressed and angry, and had secretly beaten up many people, which is why she said such things.

Qin Yingxue's face also hardened: "Even in our cultivation world, we've never divided people into ranks like this. They've gone too far."

Ruan Mianmian laughed and said, "Alright, there's no need to be angry. If they want to rank people, then so be it. It's not a big deal."

"What?" Qin Yingxue and Yu Qingqing looked at Ruan Mianmian in disbelief. "How could you speak up for those people? How could you agree to such an absurd request?"

Seeing their excitement, Ruan Mianmian patted them on the shoulders and said, "They want a tiered system, so why don't we just sell them jewelry and luxury goods? Sell them for five or ten times the price, and I think they'll be very satisfied."

Yu Qingqing and Qin Yingxue looked at each other, then burst out laughing and said in unison, "You're right!"

As expected, the expensive jewelry was sought after by powerful clans and aristocratic families after it was put out to market.

Because she made so much money from these things, Ruan Mianmian lowered the price of the grain she sold to poor families.

She wasn't worried at all about trouble from powerful clans and aristocratic families. After all, the tiered system was what they demanded. By widening the price gap, wasn't she essentially reinforcing the tiered system?

As expected, the powerful clans and aristocratic families did not cause any trouble; on the contrary, they spent even more enthusiastically.

After the mall sales and store sales got on track, Ruan Mianmian and her group had relatively more free time.

They simply wandered around this land, admiring the magnificent landscape of this era while making rubbings of stone tablets and collecting various bamboo slips and books.

Before long, Ruan Mianmian and her group had explored the entire campus of Dongda University.

So everyone started to wander outwards.

Upon arriving at Chrysanthemum Island, Ruan Mianmian witnessed several village-to-village brawls, which made her frown.

After frowning, she leaped into the air, looked at the snow-capped mountain, and, recalling the scene of her cleaving it in two with her sword, a new idea suddenly came to her mind.

Ruan Mianmian flew back to the mall and called a meeting.

"Did you find something?" Everyone looked at Ruan Mianmian curiously.

"No." Ruan Mianmian waved her hand and continued, "I just suddenly had an idea and wanted to come back to hear everyone's opinions."

"What idea?" Tang You asked Ruan Mianmian curiously.

Ruan Mianmian projected the entire island nation of Chrysanthemum Kingdom and asked in a very serious tone, "Can I destroy that island nation?"

She has the ability to destroy it.

By destroying this place, many of the future hardships faced by Tokyo University will be prevented.

No one expected Ruan Mianmian to have such a thought, and after hearing it, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a long pause, Professor Qian, the history professor, slowly spoke: "Even if the island's inhabitants are gone, people from our country will definitely migrate there. Hundreds of years later, they will establish a new country. And war between countries is inevitable. The struggle for resources will certainly lead to war."

Geography professor Lin said, "To make the entire island disappear would be equivalent to a major change in the geographical landscape, which would very likely affect us. Therefore, I do not recommend it."

"Am I not allowed to do anything?" Ruan Mianmian asked with great regret.

Professor Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can bring back more gold and silver mines and rare earth elements from around the world?"

Tang You asked, "Should we take it back to our time? Or leave it behind? If we leave it behind, where should we put it?"

“Leave them in this world. We can pile them up in low-lying areas to form mountains, or even reclaim land from the sea. Whether we need them or not, let’s bring them back first. When technology develops to that level, our compatriots will surely discover these wonderful things,” Professor Zhao said.

Ruan Mianmian listened and thought it made a lot of sense, so she nodded and said, "I second that!"

She utterly despises the people of Chrysanthemum Country, so she intends to mine their entire enormous silver mine and leave no gold mine behind!

She will handle this personally!

Thinking about handling it personally, Ruan Mianmian stroked her chin and began to ponder.

If she handles it herself, could she perhaps perform some miracles and change some people's minds?

She can use different miracles to appear in different places, cultivate different beliefs, and cause them to fight among themselves.

Ruan Mianmian told Yu Qingqing and Qin Yingxue about her idea.

"That's a great idea! I want to do it too!" Yu Qingqing clapped her hands and laughed.
