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

Dean Ge Dongsheng fell silent. What she said made sense, but pursuing truth was the mission of their research institute.

Shu Ran was getting annoyed, having doubted it again and again, but thinking of the rewards promised by the system, she patiently tried to communicate with them.

“You can consider this: even if what I’m telling is false, it won’t do you any harm. Just treat it as hearing a story. If it’s true, then everyone’s happy. There’s no loss. I really don’t understand what you’re doubting. If you don’t want to watch, you don’t have to. I won’t force you.”

Shu Ran truly couldn't bear to see the people of Xia forget their history and their civilization.

She could understand their considerations, but Shu Ran had pampered herself all these years and was best at not making things difficult for herself. Believe it or not, she would just do what she was supposed to do and simply be a host sharing historical myths.

Everyone understands the principle, but with hundreds of years of history missing, the research institute hopes more than anyone that what Shu Ran said is true.

But as I said before, it cannot be proven, there is no evidence. Therefore, there is no way to give all the people of Xia a definite explanation.

[What the host said seems to make sense!]

[But what if she's here to distort history? What if we're fooled by her? Wouldn't our Xia Kingdom become a laughingstock?]

[Authenticity is something the research institute should consider; we ordinary viewers are just here to watch a live stream, aren't we?]

[The comment above is absolutely right! I've followed the streamer; the story is very interesting, I'll definitely come back next time!]

……

Old Wang next door didn't dare to make a sound, but secretly glanced at the dean behind him. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quickly started sending tips, since the research institute would reimburse him anyway.

Old Wang's furtive behavior caught the attention of Tan Qinghong, the vice president next to him, who slapped him hard on the back.

"Alright, be generous, swipe more!"

Ultimately, the Northeastern accent was passed down.

It still slightly affected her mood, so Shu Ran immediately turned off the live stream.

[Upon accumulating 100,000 in donations, the first round of rewards is now being distributed: a seawater conversion device (with accompanying blueprints and instructions). The next round of rewards will be awarded upon accumulating 1 million in donations.]

Her mood instantly lifted! A smile appeared on Shu Ran's face as she reached for her reward.

[Why can't I retrieve the data?]

[The rewards will be distributed after the three-month livestream ends; they are currently being held temporarily in the system's prize pool!]

Shu Ran's smile froze. Wait, what's going on?

Why? I'm not going to quit halfway through!

[Considering technological barriers and teleportation issues, all rewards will be distributed together to conserve energy.]

Alright! Shu Ran didn't hesitate and decided to give it to her in the end.

Even if we don't deliver it to her, she won't mind using that complaint channel once!

Stretching, Shu Ran hugged Yun Xi's waist.

"So tired. As expected, work is not for me. I prefer to lie down!"

Even through the fabric, I could feel the warmth on my face—it was abs! So defined and defined!

With her arms wrapped around Shu Ran, Yun Xi looked down at the person in her arms and said, "If you don't like it, then we won't broadcast it. As for the cheat, it's okay if you don't use it after you've received it."

Shu Ran rubbed her face, her voice muffled: "No way! It's hooking me! Damn it, I can't refuse the reward!"

The first reward of 100,000 yuan was a seawater converter. Shu Ran didn't even dare to imagine what rewards would come next!

A faint scent of cedar filled the air, and Shu Ran gradually relaxed as she inhaled the aroma.

"What do you want? I'll try refining it."

"No, no, your technology isn't replicable yet. What I really want is the accompanying documentation and technology, something that can be mass-produced without relying on an individual."

Yunxi remained silent, so there was nothing that could be done; it was a case of willing buyer, willing seller.

Looking up, Shu Ran calmed down. She was just complaining a bit; she wouldn't be happy if she were really told to ignore it!

Shu Ran views the Xia Kingdom through a special lens, whether in parallel universes or in later times. While protecting herself, she also wants her motherland to get better and better.

Sure enough, the ideological and political education classes I've had since childhood have been incredibly effective!

"Okay, I'm going to change. I'm never doing a full outfit again, I'll just change into something else for them to see!"

Having makeup on your face can be a little uncomfortable for someone who usually goes makeup-free.

After changing into a matching outfit, Yunxi, who hadn't had a chance to show it off, paused for a moment before going to change as well.

After washing up and returning to her bedroom, Shu Ran remembered the things she had given away a few years ago. She wondered how the motherland had handled them, as she hadn't paid much attention to the subsequent developments. Now, however, she was quite curious.

I picked up the phone, only to realize it was already past eleven, so I hung up again.

Let's ask again tomorrow; it won't make a difference if we take a little more time.

—Just chatting under the covers—

Shu Ran had gotten used to sleeping together with him, and to seeing his collarbone as soon as she opened her eyes.

Yunxi had also gotten used to sleeping, and she would recite the Heart-Cleansing Mantra once every morning and evening before she could fall asleep peacefully.

The weather was nice today. After breakfast, Shu Ran remembered something she hadn't had a chance to ask last night, so she called Shu Jiayi over.

"The mainland has done a very good job of keeping this secret, and the information we have been able to get over the years has been very limited."

Although he was an all-around steward, he was powerless without manpower and tools. As for the mainland, there was a lack of manpower, not to mention knowledge of those highly classified matters.

Seeing only a part of the whole picture, Shu Ran only wanted to know if the things she sent had been used well; she didn't need to know too many specifics.

"What about the newspapers? Is there any special news?"

"Yes, I've arranged for someone to collect national newspapers from recent years. Please wait a moment, I'll go and get them."

A thick stack of newspapers and magazines, all selected by Shu Jiayi: "These newspapers and magazines may contain the information you are looking for."

A successful experimental field of superior seed varieties was established; a miraculous new plant was discovered; and a massive lightning bolt unexpectedly destroyed a large spy hideout...

Each and every one of these items seemed to be related to what Shu Ran had sent over last time.

After quickly glancing through it, Shu Ran got the information she wanted and returned the newspaper to Shu Jiayi.

"Good, keep collecting. Keep these for now."

With the domestic economy thriving, Shu Ran felt at ease.

Feeling even better, Shu Ran pulled Yun Xi to the garden, where various pastries, snacks, and desserts were laid out.

Wearing Hanfu, Shu Ran was wearing a hairpin that Yun Xi had given her yesterday.

The white Hanfu paired with the red hairpins complements each other perfectly.

With a flick of her wrist, a book appeared in her hand. It was the history book she had used yesterday.

Shu Ran's residence in Repulse Bay is well-located and highly private, so even outdoors, she doesn't have to worry about being seen with binoculars.

The weather was nice today, so she chose to do her live stream outdoors.

"Start the live stream!"
