After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

"Host, have you missed me?"

Jiang Xiaoqi gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "So you still know how to come back!"

"Hey~ Host, don't sound like a complaining woman. I'm back now, aren't I? Tell me, if there's anything you can't handle, just say so, and I'll help you!"

Jiang Xiaoqi sensed from the system's tone that the upgraded system had changed again, becoming even more annoying in personality.

This is all thanks to my 10,000 points. It hurts to think about it, but I might as well use them. Now that I'm back, I should quickly deal with those pressing problems.

"It's only right that you help me. What other host is as miserable as me? When I need the system to help, I'm either being slaughtered or offline."

"Oh~ I worked hard to level up so that I could better serve the host, right? Don't be angry, host. I know you're upset about those 10,000 points. I didn't go to slack off after all this time."

Suddenly, a jade pendant appeared on the desk in front of Jiang Xiaoqi. It was made of lustrous jade and was clearly not an ordinary item.

"A gift for me?" Jiang Xiaoqi was about to pick it up when the system stopped her: "Wait a minute, host, this is something I traded with another system. It took a lot of effort. This is an external space, and it's quite large~"

After saying that, he waited for Jiang Xiaoqi's reaction. Jiang Xiaoqi grabbed the safety buckle in her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I knew our leader was a good leader! I'll accept this gift!"

System: Host, you've changed. You've started openly robbing people...

The system swallowed its next words. It wanted to exchange points with the host, not give them away! Who said that?!

Sure enough, after more than a month apart, the host's skin has become even thicker!

The safety amulet doesn't require any blood oath. Jiang Xiaoqi hung it around her neck, closed her eyes naturally, and her consciousness entered the space.

The space was quite large and completely empty, just enough to hold his pile of gold and silver treasures.

"That's great! Tongzi, I'm really growing to like you more and more!"

Jiang Xiaoqi exclaimed excitedly. Without waiting for the system to speak, she quickly moved everything from the temporary space into the safety buckle, which only occupied a quarter of the space.

If the temporary space fails after a little over a month, so be it; at least half of the burden has been lifted off his shoulders.

“Tongzi, while you were away, I figured out something great that could fill in the secret passage cave, but it’s inconvenient for outsiders to enter. Do you have any good ideas?” Jiang Xiaoqi asked tentatively.

The system thought for a moment and suggested, "You can find some trustworthy people to help you. If you really don't have enough manpower, then you can rent from other planes!"

However, the cost is relatively high; the travel expenses for these people to come here are not cheap, and the employer must cover their food, lodging, and transportation costs.

"Other dimensions? You mean parallel worlds?" Jiang Xiaoqi immediately became interested.

"That's right. Before the upgrade, I didn't have the ability to contact systems in other dimensions. After this upgrade, I tried it and found that I can not only connect to systems in other dimensions, but also publish time-space missions on mission panels in other worlds."

Jiang Xiaoqi could tell that the system was looking smug. If the system had a face, it would definitely be looking arrogant right now.

Jiang Xiaoqi nodded: "How do we rent these people, and what are the fees?"

"For missions lasting ten days, each person will receive 1,000 Star Coins; for missions lasting three days or less, each person will receive 500 Star Coins."

"After all, no matter how many days they come, the journey is the same, so the more days they take, the more cost-effective it is," the system added.

"Rent five people for me, each for twenty days." Jiang Xiaoqi felt that it didn't matter if there were fewer people, and it would be more cost-effective to extend the time.

"There's a discount for 20 days, it only costs 1,800 Star Coins. For five people, it's 9,000 Star Coins. Host, you need to prepay 50% of the Star Coins before they will set off."

After all, this was an unknown dimension for them, and every time they ventured out, they were prepared for a one-way trip. That's why they only set off after paying their families in advance.

Jiang Xiaoqi agreed without hesitation. After all, he wasn't poor and could afford the advance payment. Those people who had left their hometowns to work for him did need some security.

"What's the exchange rate for the interstellar currency you mentioned, converted to silver in our world?"

"One interstellar coin is about ten taels of silver, so nine thousand interstellar coins is ninety thousand taels of silver."

"What? So expensive! Cough cough, I think I probably only need them to work for ten days, not even twenty!"

When Jiang Xiaoqi returned to Changshou County, he gave Lin Yueniang 10,000 taels of silver and Jiang the landlord 15,000 taels of silver. He bought two houses and a piece of wasteland in the prefectural city. With the addition of building workshops, buying raw materials, and employing workers, he only spent money and did not earn any income.

All things considered, he spent nearly 20,000 taels in the prefectural city. He could afford to hire five people for ten days, but he absolutely couldn't afford to hire anyone if he didn't sell the treasures he had acquired. However, he didn't want to touch those things right now.

"Alright, host. If it's five people for ten days, there's no discount; it'll cost 5,000 Star Coins. You'll still need to pay half upfront, which is 2,500 Star Coins. I can help you exchange them, with a limited-time waiver of transaction fees!"

Jiang Xiaoqi suspected that the dog system must have taken a kickback, but he had no proof. Since he had just stolen one of the system's external storage spaces, he figured he might as well let it take a little back.

It's better than letting him owe points, since he's confident that he can make money much faster than he can earn points.

After exchanging his Star Coins, Jiang Xiaoqi readily spent 2,500 and instructed the system to immediately issue a mission.

Jiang Xiaoqi found the idea of ​​hiring people from other worlds quite fantastical, but his very existence was fantastical, so he accepted it quickly.

Before the people arrived, he kept imagining whether the visitors from other dimensions would be giants nine feet tall, or blue-faced fanged creatures.

Three days later, late at night, five people suddenly appeared in his yard and gave him the answer.

Surprisingly, they looked no different from the working class of later generations, but their attire was more like that of scavengers.

They wore matching hard hats with solar-powered headlamps, their faces were all dark, and their camel-colored work clothes were covered with pockets. They carried ropes of various sizes and oddly shaped tools on their backs.

Jiang Xiaoqi's first thought was that these people were coal miners, but then she realized that didn't make sense. Tongzi explained in time: "These are scavengers from the wasteland era. Although their profession is scavenging, they will take any job as long as the price is right."

Jiang Xiaoqi didn't know if people in the wasteland era communicated in Chinese, so she could only tentatively say, "Um, hello everyone, you must be tired from your journey. Um, um..."

"Boss, if you need us to do anything, just arrange it. Time is limited. You're paying real money to buy our time, so don't waste it on this... or that!"

"Uh, okay!" The burly leader's barrage of words left Jiang Xiaoqi speechless, so he had no choice but to lead the group to the entrance of the secret passage filled with cement and gravel under the cover of night.

"This is it. Your task for the next ten days is to block up this passage on the left. If time permits, make it as thick and sturdy as possible."

The five men took out a measuring tape, measured the diameter of the passage, glanced at the materials piled on the ground, and nodded: "There's no major problem, it would be better if there were more sand and gravel, so we could fill it in a bit more."

“Okay, you can start working first. I will handle the sand and gravel. I will be going out during the day, so you can rest here during the day and start working again after dark. I will personally deliver your meals every day.”

Jiang Xiaoqi pointed to the open space in front of the passage on the right. There was no way to arrange for five grown men to live in the house, so they would have to make do here for the next ten days.

"Okay, we've all brought tents. We'll set them up in a bit. We just need to prepare a few large water tanks, because mixing cement and gravel together will require a lot of water."

"It was my oversight. Please set up the tents first, I'll be right back."

Jiang Xiaoqi searched in the back kitchen and found only one large water vat and a rice vat next to it, so she could only make do for now.

Tomorrow, when Madam Li is cooking, she might get a shock...

They put the water tank into their spatial storage and then released it at the entrance of the secret passage. The five people who were setting up their tents were not surprised by this action at all. People from the wasteland era have indeed seen the world.
