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

It was getting late; by the time everything was ready, it was almost ten o'clock.

The live stream was held in the study.

Shu Ran wore a flowing, wide-sleeved fairy dress, her hair simply styled in an updo, secured with just a Hetian jade hairpin.

Wearing a robe of the same color, Yunxi sat quietly to the side, not entering the live broadcast area.

"Start the live stream!"

Ding! The live stream has started!

The live stream title was: Shocking! Is it moral decay or a distorted worldview? No cards...

Host: Ranran, a descendant of the dragon.

Shu Ran waved to greet them, but remembering her current attire, she quickly withdrew her hand and performed a proper ancient greeting.

"Good evening, everyone! I'm your host, Ranran."

In the video, Shu Ran has a bright smile. She was a little uncomfortable doing a live stream to thin air for the first time, but she quickly adjusted her state.

[Host, what are you wearing? You look so beautiful! Please share!]

[What kind of title is this? What happens if you don't have any cards?]

[The streamer is really good-looking, is she a card maker?]

[I'll just say it directly: Hey, honey!]

[Get lost, this is my wife!]

……

The nighttime live stream had good viewership, and as a bonus for newcomers, the live stream had over 300 viewers in less than a minute, with people still coming in and leaving.

As the barrage of comments flashed by, Shu Ran finished her greetings and returned to her desk to sit down.

On the table in front of her, besides the mythology book she wanted, there was a glass of juice and several plates of sweet, sour, spicy, and savory snacks—her late-night snack.

Shu Ran picked through the items she wanted to see: "The clothes? It's a flowing, wide-sleeved fairy dress, the kind of clothes that cultivators often wear. It's really beautiful. If you want it, I'll take a look and send you a design drawing later, so you can download it and make it yourself."

It's not a true period costume. Shu Ran got this set through the trading system. It has self-cleaning properties, fits automatically, can change colors, and is waterproof, fireproof, dustproof, knife-proof, and bulletproof!

But there's no occasion for her to wear it; it would be too out of place. This is the first time Shu Ran has ever worn it in public.

"This is the first live broadcast. I'll be telling you the myths and legends that the people of Xia have heard since childhood!"

Shu Ran opened the book of mythology on the table. It wasn't the meticulously edited and illustrated version of later generations; it was still a bit rough around the edges, but it was much easier to understand than classical Chinese.

[The streamer is also from Xia Country! Black hair and black eyes, so authentic!]

[What's a myth? The one I've heard since I was a child is the story of the card maker Feng Li using a Black and White Bear Beast to defeat 100,000 insectoids! My idol!]

[What myths could your Xia Kingdom possibly have? Stop struggling, wouldn't it be better to just join our Amiken? We'll grant you the card-making copyright to our great six-winged angels!]

[Get out of here! Why are there people from America everywhere?]

[Don't speak, I want to hear what the streamer has to say! And what does "no cards" mean?]

……

Shu Ran remained calm and began to tell several familiar myths one by one. She was too busy to eat a late-night snack and could only drink a few sips of juice to moisten her throat.

Pangu created the world, Nuwa patched up the sky, Jingwei filled the sea, and Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs.

Due to time constraints, Shu Ran spent over an hour telling four very representative stories.

They also had to explain some words and plot points that were difficult for the viewers to understand based on the comments.

According to her plan, this could produce at least four cards.

The Pangu card boasts high attack power and can break stalemates; the Jingwei card counters water-type cards; the Shennong card heals...

[The streamer has a rich imagination and good logic, but creating cards isn't something you can just do by making up a few stories.]

[I've got an idea! I'll write it down and see if I can use it in my card collection.]

[This is too fake. I don't believe it at all. How could they possibly make cards?]

[So what does this have to do with the title? I've reported it; it's false advertising!]

……

"It's certainly a bit unrealistic, but there's logic to it at its core. It might not be possible in mythology, but some simple things are still achievable, like flying without cards, fireball attacks, raining down..."

[I don't believe it!]

[Don't believe me? +1!]

[Disbelief + Identity Sequence!]

[It's true, I ate shit while doing a handstand!]

[I don't believe you, but I'll screenshot the comment above.]

……

"You don't believe me? Then I'll have someone demonstrate for you. The live stream has already applied to prohibit the use of cards. Everything I'm about to show you are common spells used by cultivators without the effects of cards."

Yunxi, who was sitting next to him, also stood up and walked to the open space where the two of them had prepared.

Shu Ran also came over and stood side by side with Yun Xi.

Wow, what a handsome guy and a beautiful girl!

[Ahhh, I'm totally shipping them! They're such a perfect match!]

[The streamer should be in the looks section, why are they in the card section? Be careful of false advertising, they might get banned!]

……

Yunxi made a hand seal, and a ball of flame appeared in her hands. Then, she pointed her finger, and the paper in the enamel basin burst into flames.

[Holy crap! I don't believe it! It can't be real! I've reported it!]

[...The alarm didn't sound, so there's definitely no power from the cards...]

[Ugh, my worldview needs rebuilding!]

[The person upstairs is naive; they might have used other methods if they didn't use cards.]

Ignoring the comments, Yunxi continued to make hand seals, and a ball of water appeared in her palm, extinguishing the flames burning in the enamel basin.

With another dust-removing spell, the basin was instantly spotless, without a trace of ash from the fire, not even a speck of dirt.

Then other spells were demonstrated.

Plant growth, localized rain, thunder from a clear sky...

The number of viewers in the live stream surged, reaching 50,000 during the storytelling segment. In just a few minutes of the presentation, the number more than doubled, and it continues to grow!

The number of viewers jumped to six figures.

[...It can't be real! What are you hiding at home?!]

[Huh? What did I miss! With a flick of that hand, everything in the basin disappeared! How amazing!]

[Nice hands, hehe, slurp!]

……

No one doubted the live-streamed card game; everyone was looking for flaws.

"Do you believe me now?"

Shu Ran stood to the side, watching the comments flash by rapidly. There were too many people and the comments were moving too fast; you couldn't see them at all without scrolling.

Click, the live stream was shut down.

what happened?

[Due to numerous reports, the live stream has been temporarily suspended for testing. It will be unblocked once the issue is resolved! Rewards will be distributed after the live stream is unblocked.]

No, I'm really reporting her! She didn't even have a chance to let Yunxi demonstrate sword flying!

"Still flying?"

"Alright, it's getting late, let's get some rest and talk about the rest after the lockdown is lifted!"

Looking at the comments, although most people don't believe that the live stream is looking for flaws, as long as even one person believes it and applies it to card making, it's a successful live stream.

The next day, the live stream room was still not unblocked.

Shu Ran temporarily set aside the matter and continued tidying up the space.

The previous cheat was great; she had already stockpiled a considerable amount of stuff and wanted to send it back to her motherland, still anonymously, of course.
