Chapter 8: A Missed Opportunity, Slow-Paced Study Room!
Who buys medicine by the kilogram?
He looked like a student, and the proprietress asked with some doubt, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
“No, it’s just fifty catties of each.” Gu Xixi said very seriously.
"You're buying from me, little sister? What are you going to do with all this? Are you going to open a pharmacy?" The shop owner came over, genuinely surprised to encounter such a large customer for the first time.
Gu Xixi had anticipated being questioned, so she immediately replied, "Well, my friend does charity work. There's a very remote place where people are short of food, clothing, and medicine, but the people there refuse to accept Western medicine and Western doctors, saying they're scams. So, they had no choice but to buy Chinese medicinal herbs and bring Chinese doctors with them."
She spoke with such conviction, without batting an eye.
"We're going to several places this time. The place we're leaving for tomorrow has fewer people, so we only need this much. But we might need more later. Can you provide that much?"
Hearing her say that, the boss nodded in agreement, "Indeed, not to mention those remote areas, even my old mother, who has lived in the city for more than 10 years, still thinks that Western medicine is a scam. She refuses to have any tests done and only takes Chinese medicine. Sometimes I'm even scared when she has an emergency!"
"Your friend is such a nice person! Okay, since you need a large quantity, I'll give you a discount. It'll be a good deed for us both! Just send me how many more Green Bubbles you need. We're the boss in this area, so you can't go wrong leaving it to us!"
The proprietress echoed her sentiments, dispelling her doubts, and began to work on the abacus to calculate the accounts.
“The price of Chinese medicine has increased a lot compared to before. I’ll give you Astragalus membranaceus at 35 yuan per jin, and Cimicifuga foetida at 80 yuan. It was originally 125 yuan, but this batch of goods was purchased before the price increase. Licorice is 23 yuan per jin, and ginseng slices are more expensive, at 1500 yuan per jin… Some of the stock is not as exaggerated as 50 jin, so I’ll give you 80% of the quantity… So the total is 118020 yuan!”
Wow, this is the first time Gu Xixi has spent so much money. She sighed. With other supplies included, the 20 yuan she just received is almost gone!
Money flies by so fast, it disappears like water.
Now I just hope that batch of antiques can be sold for a good price.
Despite the pain in her heart, she calmly took out her phone to scan the QR code and pay. The shop owner and his wife were beaming with joy, and they began frantically searching for medicine to bag, weigh, and pack.
"Do you need delivery? We're pretty much done for today anyway, we can deliver it for you for free!" the proprietress asked warmly, and Gu Xixi agreed.
So the boss drove up a van and loaded everything into it. After confirming the quantity with Gu Xixi, they exchanged contact information and drove straight home.
It only took a dozen minutes to get there. The owner followed the directions and drove directly to the back door of the supermarket. When he passed the front door, he saw an uncle wearing a hat and an old man looking around and waiting, but they immediately got back into the car and left.
Gu Xixi didn't pay much attention, just glanced at it casually. When she opened the back door, the owner helped her unload the goods. "I didn't expect you to be such a big supermarket owner at such a young age. You can't judge a book by its cover. You're amazing, young lady."
"Please have some water, thank you for your hard work!" Gu Xixi smiled without denying it. After seeing the boss off, she carried the medicinal herbs into the supermarket. These things were valuable, so it would be safe to store them there.
After moving everything, she felt like her body was about to fall apart and she was starving, so she immediately bought a bottle of Gatorade and grabbed a box of Crazy Rice self-heating hot pot from the supermarket.
After finishing all the food and drink, she regained her strength, slowly got up, and stared blankly into space.
I glanced at the suitcase next to the cashier; the antiques were still inside. A thought suddenly struck me: [Brother Tongzi, I know nothing right now, I seem too passive, I have no ability to make my own judgments. Do you have any cheat codes you can give me, like overnight mastery of history and antiques, just shove them into my head!]
The system remained silent for a long time, so long that Gu Xixi almost thought it hadn't heard her, before finally replying, "[To help you become a qualified interdimensional trader, I'm providing you with a slow-flow study room. Your memory and comprehension will be boosted tenfold when learning any knowledge, and one hour inside is equivalent to ten hours outside.]"
Slow-flow study room...
Gu Xixi found it amusing, but she was still unwilling to give up. "Can't you just shove it directly into my head?"
The system responded quickly this time: "No, otherwise, if the system unexpectedly loses connection, everything the system has given you will be lost; the system can only provide assistance."
Gu Xixi understood now, so she opened the instruction manual for the slow-flow study room in her mind to take a look.
What? It costs 100,000 yuan to unlock it, and 3000 yuan to learn it once? She almost fainted. What a rip-off!
However, her resistance was futile, and she had no choice but to open it with a heavy heart. After all, when it comes to antiques, if you don't know anything about them, you might get ripped off once and end up with a fortune. A mere 100,000 yuan or a mere 3000 yuan is nothing to her.
She decisively chose to pay to open the room and plunged in. The study room was indeed a study room, a single room of about ten square meters with a set of desks and chairs.
Everything was a vast expanse of white, in all directions, as if everything had stopped, and there was no concept of time or space.
She sat down in the chair and immediately felt clearer-headed than ever before, along with an urge to learn. My god, the urge to learn—what a terrifying cheat code!
[Slow Flow Study Room is generating a learning process for you. It's currently selecting books; once selected, whoever wants to start studying can begin!]
Unlike the mechanical prompt from Brother Tongzi, three rows of books appeared on the bookshelf in front of her, containing more than thirty thick books, none of which had names but only numbers.
The book numbered 1 was emitting a faint yellow glow. As she reached out to take it down and opened it, the bookshelf became transparent, revealing a borderless screen. On the screen appeared a teacher holding teaching aids and looking at her.
"Student Gu, please join me in the first lesson of the general history of Earth: the knowledge of artifact appreciation..."
Gu Xixi: ! !
Holy crap, this is so high-tech! She was amazed. The teacher's voice seemed to have magic, and she could remember every sentence he said... The wonderful feeling drove her crazy, and she became so immersed in learning that she couldn't pull herself away.
She only bought an hour's worth of lessons, but she finished half a book.
When she was ejected from the study room, Gu Xixi was still savoring the feeling. She seemed to be addicted to this kind of memory and comprehension ability.
Moreover, after reading half a book, she felt like she was starting to develop a brain.
She was overjoyed, took out her phone and ordered a "ma zuo zuo" meal as a reward for herself, noting that she could leave it by the door. Then she randomly picked up one of her old books to read, but found that it didn't feel the same.
So, before the food delivery arrived, she spent another 3000 yuan to start her second lesson.
An hour later, she came out of the study room again, extremely happy. Oh right, her cat paws! She went straight to the back door of the supermarket to get them.
As soon as she opened the door a crack, a hand with bulging veins reached in and suddenly grabbed her wrist.
