I'm dressed in ancient times, I have a house, electricity, and a system pet.

Chapter 4 My First Publicly Funded Ancient Trip After Time Travel

"You're so wonderful, baby! You're a treasure trove!"

With food and clothes being delivered to her, Bai Mengran felt that her luck in transmigrating was absolutely incredible.

In the novels I've read, all the systems were terrible for their owners, but in her case, she actually met such a sweet and considerate little darling.

The system, which was praised once again, couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Although its efforts to please the host were not entirely pure, its feelings for the host were absolutely genuine!

[Well, it's getting late, host, you should get some rest! I'm logging off now. Feel free to call me anytime if you need anything.]

The system, feeling a bit socially awkward and guilty from the praise, quickly made its escape after finishing its statement.

After washing up and lying in bed, Bai Mengran still felt that today's experience was not quite real.

I was just joking around before, I never thought I'd actually time-traveled like this...

I wonder if her busy parents will realize that she has suddenly disappeared from that world, and if they will worry about her.

After graduating from university, she moved out of her home and lived alone. Ever since she was old enough to understand, she knew that her parents were busy with work and she could hardly see them once or twice a year.

She was raised by her grandparents from a young age. At first, she often complained, but as she grew older, she gradually came to understand the responsibilities her parents had.

As scientific researchers, they dedicate themselves to the country's scientific research, sacrificing their own families for the greater good.

Although she had never understood why her parents only tried their best to satisfy her material needs but couldn't give her the companionship she wanted more.

Now that she's here, perhaps she can finally live the extraordinary life she once dreamed of. But it has to be said that her parents in this other world have become a source of worry for her.

Shaking her head to clear her mind, fatigue gradually carried her to sleep.

The next morning, Bai Mengran was woken up by the familiar alarm clock.

When I opened my eyes, everything in the bedroom was as usual. Could it be that what happened last night was just a dream?

"System, system, are you there?!" she frantically called out in her mind.

After waiting for a long time without receiving a response, Bai Mengran couldn't help but fall into doubt about whether the time travel incident was real or fake.

Just as she was about to go out and take a look, the system's weary voice finally rang out.

【…Host, you called me? What's the matter?】

It was in a good mood last night and invited the apocalyptic system next door to go out for karaoke. But it got so engrossed in gossip that it forgot the time, and was forcibly woken up by its host's calls shortly after starting to rest…

"Commander, so this wasn't a dream after all!"

【…Of course it's not a dream! I finally managed to trick the host… uh, invite him here, so there's no going back on your word!】

The still-sleepy system almost slipped up, which startled it so much that it woke up and its drowsiness vanished.

After confirming, Bai Mengran remembered that she still had the task of buying a shop in town.

Does that mean she has the chance to travel to ancient times today?

This made her, who had never left the space before, feel a little excited just thinking about it.

"System, can I withdraw these system coins? I want to go out and explore the market, and then find a suitable storefront."

On the surface, she appears to be very serious about her career, but in reality, her true thoughts can be summed up in one word: food!

She needed to be well-fed to have the energy to work, and she was very curious about the ancient delicacies.

And you can also complete the tasks at the same time, which will allow you to own a bubble tea shop. It's killing two birds with one stone, and it's such a waste of money! (Transliteration)

Yes, 1 system coin can be exchanged for 1 copper coin, which is one copper coin.

However, a 1% handling fee will be deducted for withdrawals, but the handling fee will be waived for the first withdrawal.

The host currently has system coins in their account, which can be exchanged for 10 taels of silver.

[Do you wish to withdraw all funds?]

"..." This is just like Taobao and WeChat, where you have to pay a handling fee to withdraw money.

However, upon further reflection, since the money was originally a gift from the system, Bai Mengran did not hesitate to withdraw it all.

The screen then displayed an interface similar to that of an ATM, allowing users to select the amount and method of withdrawal.

Bai Mengran chose to exchange her silver for nine ingots of silver and one tael of loose silver, thinking it would be more convenient to carry.

As the countdown to the money started flashing on the screen, Bai Mengran instinctively sensed that something was wrong. Quick as a flash, she grabbed a trash can from the ground and aimed it at the exit. Sure enough, the silver coins started falling like eggs.

Bai Mengran was thankful that she hadn't exchanged the tael for copper coins, otherwise, being hit by a thousand copper coins would have knocked her unconscious...

She found an antique-style backpack and put the silver in it.

She went to the dressing room and picked out a nice dress. Bai Mengran looked at herself in the full-length mirror.

I always felt like I'd forgotten something, but it turns out I hadn't realized that my appearance had changed...

She looks much younger than before, as if she has returned to her youth.

Her light blue dress accentuated her fair and clear skin, and her wide eyes revealed a mixture of curiosity and disbelief.

Fortunately, she still looks good. Although her curvy figure has shrunk, she should be able to get it back with proper care.

Bai Mengran casually poked her plump, collagen-rich cheeks. Hmm, they felt amazing.

[Host, may I go out now? You've been admiring yourself in the mirror for quite some time now...]

The system waited and waited, but seeing that the host still hadn't moved, it could only offer a reminder.

Bai Mengran habitually put on her travel essential – an ancient-style mask – and before leaving, she didn't forget to grab a meat bun and a custard bun from the convenience store.

"Little Commander, have your fill!"

After leaving the villa, walk straight ahead until you reach the exit indicated by the system. In the distance, you can see a large cave that looks like a tunnel.

The entrance was a huge portal that shimmered with a dark silver-blue light, with the word "Exit" displayed above it.

With an excited heart and trembling feet, Bai Mengran stepped inside.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a secluded, deserted corner of the street.

How amazing! How cool!

"System, system, I'm really out! But where am I?" Bai Mengran shouted excitedly.

[The host is currently located on Huanxi Street in Peach Blossom Town, the busiest street in the town. The host can check their location on the map!]

Open the map to see a panoramic view of the entire Peach Blossom Town, with streets and shops marked, much like an ancient version of a map.

The market was near the red dot where she was now. Bai Mengran followed the arrow on the map, rotated around to determine her location, and then headed towards the market.

People in ancient times got up early, and by the time she arrived, the morning market was almost over.

Bai Mengran quickly walked a few steps to a vendor's stall selling steamed buns. "Boss, how much are your steamed buns?"

"Meat is three coins, vegetables are two coins, would you like two, miss?" The vendor enthusiastically lifted the cotton cloth covering Bai Mengran, revealing steaming buns.

"Then give me one meat dish and one vegetable dish, and please give me my change." She took out a small piece of silver and gave it to the stall owner.

"Oh dear, your little shop might not be able to make change. Let me see!"

The stall owner weighed the silver coins on a scale, and they were exactly equivalent to 100 copper coins. He painstakingly counted out 95 copper coins to make change from his purse, which was almost all the copper coins he had.

"Miss, please count to see if you've got them right. Here are your buns, come again next time!"

"Okay, thank you, boss."

Bai Mengran quickly put the change into her bag, picked up the steamed bun wrapped in lotus leaves, and took a small bite as she walked.
