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

Fortunately, she didn't throw away anything that was even remotely useful back then, and kept it in her spatial storage for a long time.

Shu Ran spent the entire afternoon in the synthetic seed, and even filled it with ten large white drills.

Her discarded seeds finally found a use.

Although you always end up synthesizing dregs, if you synthesize them multiple times, you'll eventually get the essence!

Dozens of bags of various seeds, but in the end only a few hundred are usable.

After carefully labeling each item, Shu Ran touched the slightly hot synthesizer and placed it on the balcony floor to cool it down before bringing it back inside.

"Master, Emily has sent an invitation, saying she wants to invite you to her home!"

Shu Jiayi came up with a gold-embossed invitation.

Upon opening the invitation, Shu Ran saw fluent, cursive English and a sincere invitation followed by a special mention of the names of the desserts she missed, written in Chinese on the last two lines.

There are five lines of text in total, with the names of the snacks taking up two lines.

I miss her or I miss her family's pastries!

Shu Ran chuckled: "Auntie, go and make the arrangements. We're going to London next week, and we'll take Uncle Feng with us. Tell him to get ready in advance."

"Yes, Master. Will you be attending the auction in London in ten days? The invitation has been sent to the manor, and it is said that the twelve zodiac animal heads will be on display."

"Go! Prepare the funds. Oh, and take that Queen Victoria crown from before to auction."

If others are auctioning off her own items, then she should also put up items from other countries for auction, so that everyone can embarrass themselves!

"Which organization is holding this auction? Is it too late?"

If it were country Y, she would switch to country D, country F... eight countries in total. Except for country M, she had some historically famous and interesting items in all of them.

"You can rest assured that it's being auctioned off. It's the Child family; the royal family of Country Y doesn't have a hand in this."

Shu Ran was relieved and went to the collection room to retrieve the queen's crown.

Thanks to Xiao Wu's care, the crown, which had been somewhat dull, regained its dazzling brilliance, bearing the weight of history.

He handed the crown to Shu Jiayi and asked her to make arrangements.

Shu Ran spent a relaxing week, unusually without missing any school classes.

On Friday, Shu Ran skipped her afternoon classes and took two cars to London with her entourage.

After resting at home for a day, Shu Ran took nearly ten kinds of pastries that Uncle Feng had just made and headed to Emily's manor.

"Oh, darling, you've finally come!"

Emily came over and her eyes lit up when she saw the food boxes that Xiaowen and Awu were carrying.

He gave Shu Ran a warm hug.

"Emily, it's been a long time!"

Shu Ran was still a little unaccustomed to this excessive enthusiasm, but she responded nonetheless.

"Come here! I've been eyeing your kitten since I was at your house. I got one too after I came back. You have to see it, it's so beautiful."

Emily winked playfully and pulled Shu Ran into the garden behind the manor.

A table was set up in the middle of the garden, and afternoon tea was already served on it.

"Oh, I think we should eat something first! Honey, I'll give you some time to prepare before we go see Bria."

Emily hadn't forgotten the delicious pastries she had specifically asked for.

After leaving the port city, she did try Chinese dim sum, but none of them were as good as Sofia's. Perhaps this is the legacy of an ancient family!

Emily was quite moved!

“Of course! Emily, whatever you say goes.”

After chatting for a while, Emily was still the same as before, and Shu Ran relaxed and regained the familiar feeling she had before.

Pleasant times always pass too quickly!

On a vast lawn, a lion is being led by a person with a rope around its neck.

"Bria!"

Emily greeted them.

Shu Ran: ...

The kitten above is clearly a big lion!!!

What a ferocious beast!

Shu Ran is still able to stand still thanks to her strong mental fortitude.

In addition, she carries a protective pendant, a spiritual artifact traded from a cultivation world, which can withstand damage from those below the Foundation Establishment stage. It is no match for mere mortal beasts, even lions.

"Let Mommy hold you! Mommy's little baby is so cute!"

Emily hugged the lion's head and affectionately ruffled its fur.

Bria obediently let Emily hold her, making coquettish whimpering sounds; to be honest, it was a little tight.

After a while, Shu Ran walked over, restraining herself from reaching out to touch her.

"Emily, this is the kitten you were talking about! It looks like a big lion, it really scared me."

Squatting down, Shu Ran could see Bria's eyes, which were very gentle and without any fierceness.

"Haha, Sophia, be brave! I raised Bria since she was a kitten. She's only four years old this year, still a little baby. How can she not be a kitten!"

Emily laughed heartily, "Want to pet her? Bria is very well-behaved."

"May I?"

Shu Ran was eager to try, and cautiously reached out and touched the lion's head.

It's a bit prickly, and to be honest, it's not as soft as a kitten's fur, but this is a lion!

"Be good!"

"Mmm, good girl!"

Shu Ran stroked it a few times and then stopped; she still preferred the kitten's fur, which was so soft and fluffy.

"Alright, Jack, take Bria back!"

Emily stood up and had Bria taken away.

The two returned to the garden and continued their conversation.

Thinking about the auction in a few days, Shu Ran wanted to find out some information first: "Emily, do you know about the auction in a few days?"

"Oh, is that the auction hosted by the Childe family?"

Emily quickly remembered that this was the only one available recently.

"Yes, I'm going to participate in one in a few days. Do you know anything about the auction items?"

Shu Ran asked bluntly, "Is it true that there are twelve zodiac animal heads?"

After submitting the item for auction, Shu Ran received the auction list, but she only knew about one of the ten final items: the queen's crown she had submitted. She was not very clear about the others.

"I'm not too sure about that, but you'll probably find out on the day. There will also be many items that don't sell after the auction, so maybe you can snag a bargain!"

Emily had attended many auctions, so she treated this one as just another ordinary one, and since she didn't find any jewelry she liked, she didn't bother to inquire about it.

"Alright! I'll go to the auction and take another look."

Shu Ran decided to bring Xiao Wu along, as her appraisal skills were quite professional.

Shu Ran wasn't disappointed that she hadn't gotten any useful information from above, since she hadn't held out much hope anyway.

Without going back to the school, Shu Ran bid farewell to Emily's manor and returned to her residence in London with her entourage.

They were just waiting for the auction to begin in a few days.

During her free time these past few days, Shu Ran often accepted Emily's invitations to visit and go shopping.

They also invited Emily over to taste the food she loved in the port city back then.
