Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources

Zhu Jingxian is a skilled cook; she prepared several dishes, which, when served with hot rice, elicited happy sighs from everyone.

"It's so delicious! The beef is so tender and smooth, and it smells amazing."

"Mmm, this rice is delicious too. I've never eaten such delicious rice before."

"What's this reddish stuff? It's sweet and sour, it tastes really good."

"Never mind that, just eat."

Shen Zhaoning held the bowl and ate in small bites, enjoying her meal with great relish while maintaining an exceptionally delicate demeanor.

The weather had cooled down considerably at night, with a gentle breeze blowing from time to time, which felt very comfortable.

After everyone ate, they lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

Shen Zhaoning, however, couldn't sleep because she was thinking about things in modern times.

She carefully got out of bed and went into the yard, lifted her chin, and sighed sadly.

Hua Zhuyue had noticed long ago that the little one was a bit restless and had been keeping a close eye on her movements.

Upon noticing her leave the room, he immediately followed.

Why the long face?

"Was filming that movie too tiring?"

Shen Zhaoning shook her head and told him about her troubles.

"I was thinking, if I could have a house there, I could store my things there, which would be much more convenient in the future."

But Shen Zhaoning knew that this was unlikely.

No matter when, a house is never a cheap thing.

In the countryside, it's alright; nobody cares. As long as someone has mud and tiles to build a house, that's all that matters.

However, buying a house in the city is not an easy task.

In Kyoto, even officials cannot afford to buy houses; most of them live in official residences.

She's just a kid, and the meager amount she earns is barely enough to support everyone's food needs.

Wanting to buy a house is simply a pipe dream.

Hua Zhuyue said with a smile.

"I wondered what it was about. Actually, I've been thinking about this for a while now."

"Every time you travel between the two worlds, you have to find a secluded place and sneak around. Although no one has noticed yet, it would be terrible if you were accidentally seen by someone."

"It would be much safer to have a fixed place to live."

"We're currently on our way to exile, so things aren't stable for the time being, but you can find a place to stay there for now."

"You can sell the things your grandmother gave you before and get some money to rent a house over there."

Houses are indeed expensive. If we can't afford to buy one, can't we at least rent one?

Shen Zhaoning clapped her hands.

"Yes, Grandma is right. I'll ask around next time I go to film a movie and see if there are any apartments available for rent."

Because their group was quite large, ordinary disaster victims dared not approach them.

The journey over the next few days went very smoothly.

Moreover, without any guards watching over her, it would be easy for Shen Zhaoning to slip away.

Shen Zhaoning would secretly go to the film set to watch others film and learn their filming techniques whenever she had free time.

The little girl sat on a small stool, watching the play obediently. She was so cute that many people on set secretly watched her.

Many extras came over to take photos with her, and people often came over to chat with Shen Zhaoning.

Even the makeup artist would come over and chat with her for a while when she had nothing to do.

The makeup artist really liked Shen Zhaoning and would often treat her to milk and snacks.

Shen Zhaoning hadn't seen Lin Xiuzhi on set for several days, so she simply asked the makeup artist.

Do you know where I can rent a house? I'd like to rent one.

The makeup artist smiled.

"Why don't you just check it on your phone?"

Shen Zhaoning's eyes lit up.

"Wow, you can find rental listings on your phone!"

"Then, sister, can you teach me how to tell?"

The makeup artist nodded.

"sure."

Shen Zhaoning excitedly took out her old-fashioned mobile phone, presented it to the makeup artist with both hands, and looked at the makeup artist with excited eyes.

The makeup artist glanced at Shen Zhaoning's phone and gave an awkward laugh.

"Your phone won't work; you need a smartphone."

Shen Zhaoning was somewhat confused.

"We're both using hand-operated chickens, so why can yours do it but mine can't?"

The makeup artist thought for a moment and then explained.

"Because it's a basic phone for seniors, it has many functional limitations."

"Smartphones are different; they have many functions. You can watch videos, play games, and even buy things..."

Shen Zhaoning blinked, keenly catching the words "buy something" from the makeup artist's mouth.

"Can I buy things here?"

The makeup artist was somewhat surprised.

The little guy doesn't know about smartphones, but how come he doesn't even know how to buy things online?

"Of course!"

"The clothes I'm wearing, and the snacks I just gave you, I bought them online."

"Just download a shopping app, fill in your home address, and link your bank card, and you can place an order."

"The deliveryman will bring your package to your door, it's very convenient."

Shen Zhaoning immediately became excited.

If she had this smart chicken, she wouldn't always have to ask others to buy things for her.

Last time, she asked Grandma Lin to help her buy a stun gun and pepper spray, which caused Grandma Lin to misunderstand. Although she managed to brush it off, she still felt uneasy.

Now, all you need to do is buy a smartphone, and the problem is solved.

She asked impatiently.

"Sister, I'm going to buy a smartphone. Can you teach me how to use it?"

Shen Zhaoning went to the mobile phone store where she bought the charger last time to buy a mobile phone.

The boss smiled when he saw her.

"Why are you here again, little one?"

"Is the charger broken again?"

Shen Zhaoning shook her head and took out a thick wad of cash from her pocket.

She said it with utmost seriousness.

"I want to buy a smart chicken."

She looked at the boss nervously, wondering if the money was enough.

That smart chicken must be very expensive, right?

The boss was taken aback, then smiled when he saw such a thick wad of cash.

"We don't need that many."

What do you plan to use this phone for?

"Is it for online classes or for playing games?"

Shen Zhaoning didn't quite understand and scratched her head.

"I want to use my smartphone to buy things and rent an apartment."

The boss smiled.

"Then you don't need to buy anything too good, this second-hand one is fine."

"The system is smooth, has full functionality, and you don't have to worry about being scammed."

After the shop owner's enthusiastic introduction, Shen Zhaoning bought a second-hand Apple mobile phone for 800 yuan.

The boss helped Shen Zhaoning transfer her SIM card and contacts from her address book to her new phone.

I also helped Shen Zhaoning register for WeChat and installed shopping and local rental apps.

He patiently taught Shen Zhaoning how to use it, and also told her that if she encountered any problems she didn't understand, she could ask AI.

AI knows everything, it's very convenient.

Shen Zhaoning happily said goodbye to the boss, found a place to sit, and began to examine the new phone.

She felt like she had opened the door to a new world.

With the help of AI, she learned that she needed a bank card to shop online.

Applying for a bank card requires the accompaniment of a guardian and the presentation of documents such as an ID card.

And she was an unregistered resident...

There is no guardian at all.

Shen Zhaoning held her phone and burst into tears.

Too bully.

This world is so unfriendly to children.
