With a cheat code, she travels through the 40s and hoards goods to take her motherland to new height

Although it was her first time climbing over the wall, her movements were so fluid as if her body had a memory of it. Shu Ran dusted herself off, stopped thinking about it, and blended seamlessly into the crowd.

"Sesame seed cake, delicious sesame seed cake!"

"Come, come, take a look..."

The street was bustling with vendors' cries and calls.

Feeling panicked at the lack of food, Shu Ran realized that she had already exchanged all the food she had stockpiled. Now, she had very little food left in her space. She randomly chose a grain store by the roadside to check out the available items and replenish her inventory.

How much does the rice cost?

"Look, it's written here: 6200 million per shi (a unit of dry measure)."

"How much? How much did you say?"

Shu Ran could hardly believe her ears. Were prices really that crazy during the Republic of China era?

"Sir, this is absolutely a fair price! Look, it's all freshly sifted rice. If you want to buy it, hurry up, because the price won't be the same later."

The shop owner waved his fan, completely unperturbed.

"We've changed brands!"

The shouts outside the door grew louder and then faded away. The shop owner, who had been moving slowly just moments before, quickly changed the sign.

"Young man, I'm sorry, it's now 6500 million French currency per stone."

Legal tender? Shu Ran tried hard to recall the history she had studied and the movies and TV shows she had watched. It seemed that there was a period when legal tender was used, and inflation was extremely severe. Later, the gold yuan was introduced, and the monetary system was paralyzed for a time. The most memorable thing was that wages were paid out by the sackful.

"What if we use silver dollars?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he stared intently at Shu Ran. His tone became much warmer as he lowered his voice and said, "If you're going to use silver dollars, I'll make the decision. I'll give you 12 catties of rice for every silver dollar you pay."

Shu Ran didn't have many silver coins. She had a small box in her space filled with them, roughly estimated to be around a thousand.

I grabbed a handful of rice; the grains were plump and fragrant, indicating excellent quality.

Having finally managed to get out of the house, she wasn't planning on going back empty-handed; she wanted to at least stock up on some things to store in her spatial storage.

"Do you have all the items? I need a lot, can you give me a discount?"

"Hey, don't worry! My Chen Family Grain Store has been open for forty years, I wouldn't dare joke about my reputation."

Nearly ten kinds of rice, flour and grains, each weighing sixty catties.

There were too many things to carry, so Shu Ran went to the other side of the street and rented a car to transport the goods.

From one end of the street to the other, you'll find cloth, spices, bamboo baskets, fruits and vegetables...

After walking down the street, the cart was already full of things, and the donkey pulling it was exhausted.

They found a secluded, deserted corner, had the driver unload the cart, gave him extra wages, and sent him home.

After watching the person drive away, I looked around carefully before putting everything away.

Using the "Thousand Faces" ability, she transformed herself into the appearance of a wealthy young master, and Shu Ran's demeanor changed abruptly as she walked towards the Fu Man Lou restaurant she had passed earlier.

"Please come in, sir/madam. How many of you are there?"

"One person, please. We'd like a private room, somewhere quiet."

"Alright, please come upstairs, Furongju, one person!"

"Do you have any signature dishes?" Shu Ran asked as she walked.

"There are so many: braised eel in sizzling oil, cherry pork, honey-glazed ham, Wan San's pork hock, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, lion's head meatballs..."

The waiter rattled off a list of dishes quickly, some of which Shu Ran was familiar with, and others she was hearing for the first time.

"Let's start with these few dishes. Bring one of each of our signature dishes, and rice for the main course. Also, pack one of the dishes we ordered earlier to take with us later."

"Okay, wait a minute!"

The waiter didn't ask any questions. After brewing the tea, he backed out of the private room and closed the door.

After walking around the room for a while, Shu Ran sat down and finally had the mind to examine the newly acquired "Thousand Faces".

There's a reason why it can be used as a cheat. I originally thought it was just an ordinary disguise mask, but I didn't expect that "Thousand Faces" comes with a database. Not only can it provide clothing and props for self-selection of disguises, but most importantly, it will change everything after you put it on, from your voice and smile to your figure and posture.

I don't know who imported this database, but it has tens of thousands of characters to choose from, including men, women, children, and people from all over the world, with different clothes and styles, and it even has its own language system. It's truly an essential tool for robbery and plunder.

They enjoyed a delicious and authentic Suzhou-style meal, and stored the leftovers in their spatial storage, which contained previously stored pots, pans, and dishes, all of which were clean.

What payment method are you using?

The waiter spoke with anticipation, as they were most pleased to receive guests who didn't arrive carrying large bags and bundles.

One sentence brought her back to the modern era, and Shu Ran almost thought she could finally use her fortune-telling app and WeChat account.

"Silver dollars." Shu Ran was momentarily dazed before snapping back to reality. After shopping all morning, she had a profound understanding of how popular silver dollars were at the moment, and she had also witnessed how a sack of legal tender could only buy her a breakfast.

"Alright, twelve silver dollars, please!"

After leaving the restaurant with the packed food, Shu Ran went to a pastry shop and bought more than a dozen packs of pastries.

Carrying dozens of kilograms of goods, Shu Ran moved swiftly, as usual finding a secluded corner to put everything away, and then emerged with a different identity.

This time, it was a blond, blue-eyed foreign youth. Shu Ran tried speaking a few words, and fluent English came out of her mouth. As soon as she spoke, Shu Ran was shocked. If she had this level of English, she would have no problem getting a 7 on the IELTS.

The pronunciation in Chinese is slightly accented, but still acceptable. Shu Ran straightened her suit and headed towards Ruifeng Bank.

We haven't gotten to the important things for today yet. Besides stockpiling supplies, the first priority is to go to Ruifeng Bank to withdraw what's stored there. We also need to visit the Shu family's old house when we have time.

Carrying her newly purchased suitcase, Shu Ran walked into Ruifeng Bank.

Her blonde hair stood out among the crowd of black hair, and the bank manager quickly ran over to greet her.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?"

"Hello, I need to pick up something."

Shu Ran showed the key to the manager.

"Okay, sir, this way please. I'll take you to the safe room."

After navigating through numerous mechanisms, Shu Ran arrived at the underground safe room, where she used a key to open the safe and retrieve the box inside.

The manager also wisely made room for them.

Upon opening the box, one finds over a dozen wooden boxes of various sizes, with several black velvet bags filling the remaining space between them.

After putting everything into her spatial storage, Shu Ran opened the empty box and took out the key hidden in the handle compartment.

Locate safe number 778 according to the number, and take out the box that is twice the size of the previous one and put it into the space.

This time it was truly gone. After packing up, Shu Ran still carried the same suitcase she had brought with her as she walked out.

After handling the aftermath, Shu Ran was personally escorted out of the bank by the manager.

It was still early, but there wasn't enough time to go to the Shu family's old residence. The Qian family compound and the Shu family's old residence were in the south and north of the city, respectively, and it took an hour to drive between them. Shu Ran simply went back to the Qian family compound and would find another opportunity to go to the Shu family's old residence later.
