Now that Chen Luoqi's own destiny has changed, she naturally won't get on that pirate ship. On the contrary, it's a good thing; if she can seize the opportunity, she might even have a good marriage in the future…”

Chapter Nineteen: Second Uncle Knows Too Much

"Second Uncle, I don't like what you're saying. Why does having a good marriage have to be a good thing?" Cheng Xiamu pouted and whispered, "Isn't it good to earn your own money and spend it as you please? Why do you have to get married?"

The old man chuckled, closed his fan, and tapped her. "Silly child, why is your second uncle so accurate at fortune telling? It's because everyone's life trajectory is basically predetermined from birth, unless there's a superhuman who can defy fate and even the heavens have to give way."

It's incredibly difficult for ordinary people to encounter an opportunity to change their fate!

There's a saying that goes, "Marriage is a woman's second chance at life."

Since a destined marriage is unavoidable, why not take the initiative and try to find a good match? It's better than wasting your life and youth by meeting the wrong person, taking the wrong path, and then regretting it later, right?

That woman just now, her marriage line is very shallow.

Usually, people like this can escape their current small circle and have a better life if they actively seize a good marriage opportunity. Meeting a good partner and spending a lifetime together is much better than what they are doing now.

"Then... Second Uncle, why have you been worrying about my marriage since I was sixteen?"

"Because your fate is too special!" The old man opened his fan with a whoosh and said helplessly as he fanned himself, "It wasn't obvious when you were little, but it's become more and more obvious as you get older. Your marriage is mostly preordained in your past life. If you don't seize the opportunity, you really won't find a suitable candidate! Can your second uncle just watch you miss out on a good marriage and grow old alone? Of course not!"

The grandfather and granddaughter walked onto the road while talking. He suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked, "Daughter, do you know where Nanli Village is?"

Cheng Xiamu blinked her big, bright eyes, looking completely bewildered. "Second Uncle, aren't you good at calculations?"

I searched on my phone and found that Nanli Village is a bit remote. The map shows that the western entrance is mostly old factories and warehouses, and it looks quite desolate.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained!" The old man calculated for a moment and said excitedly, "Let's call a taxi to the west entrance of Nanli Village. I just calculated that we've had quite a haul this time."

Although we can't expect immediate results, we can still glimpse a glimpse of the mystery!

The little dumpling was getting closer and closer to the old warehouse that Chen Luoqi had rented by hitchhiking.

"It's so great to be rich! Hahaha... Soon, I'll be even richer!" After ordering the goods according to the shelter owner's requirements over the phone, Chen Luoqi sat on a plastic stool, charging his phone and the little black box, and happily imagining his long-term plan to catch a big fish.

First, adopt a strategy of low profit margins and high sales volume.

From now on, I can't skimp on the profits. Of the 130,000 I earned from selling yellow croaker, I'll spend 100,000. And I'll buy high-quality products for everything, including fresh produce, agricultural products, daily necessities, canned goods, rice, flour, and oil.

Only in this way can you quickly gain the other party's trust;

Secondly, you need to have a good attitude!

A true man can bend and stretch; for the sake of future wealth and glory, it's nothing to temporarily bow and scrape before him.

Wait until you've built a good relationship with them, then strike secretly when they're off guard...

"Hehehe, I'm so smart!" Chen Luoqi chuckled excitedly as he read the novel, his neck hunched over.

Given that the other party in this cooperation required a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, he contacted them and decided to transport the goods as soon as possible. He would deliver the goods to the supplier as soon as possible after unloading, so as not to let them spoil and depreciate in the hot weather without cold storage.

"There are so many old warehouses, we'll have to search for a while." After getting out of the car, Cheng Xiamu looked at the large area of ​​factory buildings and couldn't help but worry.

The old man, however, remained calm and composed, fanning himself slowly and deliberately, saying, "No need to rush. Since the divination indicates a fruitful trip, it certainly won't be a wasted one. My dear daughter, for your sake in finding your ideal husband, let's put in the effort and go around to each place today. This village is so small; the western entrance is really just a few streets. We'll surely find him!"

The little dumpling knew the way, and although she wanted to lead them there, she was afraid of making a fuss and doing something unnecessary, so she slowly followed behind them, walking around and looking at each street from the northernmost end.

"It was a pleasure doing business with you. Just give me a call next time you need more goods!"

"Okay! As long as your fruit is fresh and of guaranteed quality, I'll be ordering a lot more from you lately!"

As the old man and Cheng Xiamu approached a warehouse, they saw Chen Luoqi just finishing his pleasantries with the truck driver. The boxed truck carrying fruit sped away, leaving the shifty-eyed Chen Luoqi to slack off as he returned to the warehouse and closed the door behind him.

"Selling gold bars to do fruit business?" The old man looked on with some doubt. "He doesn't seem like a businessman... He's got so much seasonal fruit, isn't it just sitting in a cold storage warehouse? Won't it all spoil in this weather?"

Cheng Xiamu stood on tiptoe, looking left and right, and called out to him, "Second Uncle, come this way! There should be a window at the back!"

The two turned onto the street behind and easily found the south-facing window corresponding to the warehouse. Although it was secured with iron bars and the glass was covered in dust from years of neglect, they could still make out the inside after wiping it with a tissue.

"Phew! It's so much more convenient to use a big net." Chen Luoqi locked the door and used his newly bought extra-large fishing net to cover the mountain of seasonal fruit boxes. The final sealing was much faster than tying them with rope for half a day.

He tugged at it, feeling that everything was in order, and pressed the button on the small box.

"biu!"

The next second, everyone and everything in the warehouse vanished without a trace!

"Second Uncle, am I dreaming?" Cheng Xiamu stared wide-eyed for a while before realizing what was happening. He quickly pinched his arm and winced in pain. "Have you ever seen such a supernatural power? What kind of magic is this?"

The old man shook his head solemnly. "My dear girl, you must believe in science. I think... he probably used that mysterious thing he was wearing... to travel through time!"

"puff!"

Cheng Xiamu turned to look at the old man whose words were even more fashionable and childish than his own, and said with a wry smile, "Second Uncle, is time travel really that scientific?"

"Shh! Just wait and see." The old man had never seen such a strange situation in his life, and he didn't dare to breathe loudly, staring intently at the empty warehouse.

Meanwhile, the little white cat, who had just caught the time-traveling bus at the last minute, hopped onto its host's shoulder, eager to tell him about the bug and the pretty girl.

"Oh? Are you sure they saw the protagonist teleport over?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow after hearing this; there was no such scene in the script.

Is this some kind of trick where bugs come knocking on the door while the script team is in a mess?

Could that girl be her?

"Host, I think the bug said that the girl's destiny is definitely with you!" The fluffy dumpling proudly raised its head, snapped its fingers, and meowed with a "I've seen through all the truth" expression on its face: "It's definitely your type."

Besides, this bug is truly outrageous. When I teleported over, I could clearly see them peeking through the back window. Think about it, if the bug knew about this awesome teleportation device, would it easily give up on getting to the bottom of things?

Hehehe~ Host, just wait for your wife to travel to your door herself!

He raised an eyebrow again at the smug little white cat, "How do you know she's my type? Perhaps in other mission worlds..."

"Mmm! Mmm!" The fluffy little ball waved its little paws nonchalantly. "That's right, you have indeed gotten married too many times in other mission worlds. But, this soft, cute, and smart little white rabbit doesn't just judge a book by its cover. I can already sense whether you're my type!"

Jiang Chen: [?_??]

"induction?"

The little white cat cleared its throat, squinted its eyes, and nodded in a mocking manner. "Yes! It's all about intuition. After spending so much time with my host, I can get a very special feeling whenever I see a girl. If I feel a natural affinity for her, then I'm absolutely certain she's your type."

I've been secretly observing, and anyone who has this feeling will eventually marry you, have a long and happy marriage, and grow old together...

It stopped there and didn't say anything more.

The system's host is merely there to complete missions, and most of the time, she defies fate to live a peaceful life, thus unable to have offspring. Perhaps the main system wants to prevent its hosts from having any lingering attachments…

"Let's go check on Chen Luoqi, the main character who's been sitting out for a while. Hopefully, he'll change his ways and give up his plan to kill me. If we cooperate well, I won't treat him unfairly."

Jiang Chen's attention wasn't on the last bunch of adjectives; he was more concerned about whether the unusual little white cat had any connection to the girl who had voluntarily entered the virtual world to wait for him.

Otherwise, how could she make the assistance system feel approachable?

When she entered the virtual world, were there any other abilities that were transferred to Xiaobai?

After all, she has a Horcrux to protect her, so she... should also have her own special abilities, right?

"Knock knock knock!" Chen Luoqi knocked on the door until he was tired, but there was no response at all. Apart from the surveillance camera flashing red light silently filming him, not even the lights were turned on.

What the hell!

Could it be that he was too eager to deliver the goods and got out of the house?

That's possible. After all, they hadn't discussed it beforehand. The other party didn't know that he had just exchanged the large yellow croaker for money and immediately ordered fresh fruit to be delivered. He must have a lot to do to make a living in the wasteland world.

Thinking of the scenes in novels, movies, and games where you fight monsters in the wasteland, Chen Luoqi's blood was instantly pumping.

How wonderful it would be to go out for a walk and practice my shooting skills! With my agility in video games, I might even be a genius at controlling mechs with my mind!

What a pity! On my first trip here, I didn't even figure out if there were mechs and heavy weapons in this wasteland. Even just using regular guns to clear out monsters, searching for treasure in the city ruins, and engaging in thrilling gunfights to fight for territory—it sounds so exciting!

Chen Luoqi got excited and fantasized about being a master of gunfighting, wearing a domineering mecha and wielding a giant machine gun, descending from the sky like a god, and shooting at the enemy forces and monsters. That's what a real man does!

"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly." Jiang Chen's calm voice suddenly rang out, and at the same time he turned on all the lights and disinfection equipment in the room.

"I was thinking that this cooperation involved a large sum of money, and I couldn't transport all the fruits, vegetables and fresh produce at once, so I rushed to send some over first."

Interrupted from his reverie, Chen Luoqi immediately put on a fawning smile, pulled aside the fishing net, opened the box, grabbed a handful of cherries, and introduced them to him, "Look at these, they're all top-quality cherries, just released! There are also cherry tomatoes, dragon fruit, grapes, oranges... I guarantee they'll be delicious!"

Seeing that he had indeed toned down his practices and was no longer selling inferior goods, Jiang Chen expressed his satisfaction, "Well done. These fruits look very fresh, uniform in size, and bright in color. From now on, you should order from this quality, and our business will soon be on the right track."

The little white cat hopped inside and packed everything up. Chen Luoqi, who was used to this, didn't say much, only that a lot of fresh vegetables would be delivered in the afternoon. If the other party was busy, they could go ahead and do their work, while he would wait until tomorrow morning to prepare the daily necessities, rice, flour, and oil before delivering another batch.

"Has it suddenly become enlightened? Or is it hiding something bad again?" Jiang Chen checked the price list provided by the little white cat and saw that the fruit delivered was worth about 30,000 yuan.

Adding to the promised supplies, he frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss.

Given Chen Luoqi's previous greed and insatiable behavior, after selling the gold bars, he would have to deduct at least half of the 130,000 yuan he received. It would be good if he could even transport goods worth 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.

I just scolded him this morning, how could he change his mind so quickly?

Jiang Chen thought it was unlikely. However, the script was still being updated, and the script team probably didn't know how to make his own death reasonable. In addition, there were bugs, and the future plot development was unpredictable. He could only be on guard at all times.

Fortunately, the food maker is always reliable; it will immediately alert you if any substandard ingredients are put in.

There's no need to worry about Chen Luoqi tampering with the ingredients...

"biu!"

Chen Luoqi reappeared in the warehouse without a sound. He hummed a little tune as he unlocked the door, rode his electric scooter out, locked the door again, and went to have a big meal in a good mood.

Cheng Xiamu's heart pounded a few times, and his voice trembled slightly as he said, "Second Uncle, he's traveled back in time again! Where did he travel to just now?"

"We need to make a judgment through systematic scientific analysis." The old man fanned himself with a solemn expression. "First of all, the fact that he took gold bars to sell can rule out ancient times."

Do you remember those two gold bars the shop assistant mentioned? They were both labeled with fixed weights and serial numbers. Ordinary people couldn't access gold in ancient times, and the official gold standards were different from modern ones, which was obvious at a glance.

Moreover, you noticed that when he wasn't carrying anything through the journey, he didn't touch those boxes at all.

There's a lot of information on the packaging box. If I were really going to travel to ancient times, I'd definitely hide the box to avoid giving myself away. Besides, even in ancient times, these fruits wouldn't be worth much money. It would be much better to sell things like salt, sugar, soap, and cement—cheaper and more profitable.

When bringing things back from ancient times, porcelain bottles and jars are always the first choice; those things are worth far more than gold bars!

Cheng Xiamu:!!(o'?'o)?o????

Uncle Erda is so knowledgeable!

You must have watched a lot of shows about going back to ancient times and becoming a prince...

"Then, is it possible that he doesn't actually have the ability to travel through time and space, and that he might just be able to teleport using some kind of futuristic device?" She had barely raised her point of view when the other person refuted it.
