As for the decorative picture frames and table lamps that were previously in her showcase, she had already smashed them when she collected the gold, so those two slots were now empty.
On her showcase, her perfumes and cosmetics had all been sold, earning her 5 points and 25 dimension coins. So now she had 17 points and 45 dimension coins.
Jiang Yuntan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Jinbao, can I actively modify the prices on the dimension showcase?"
[No,] Jinbao answered very quickly, [Our dimension system is extremely fair, no cheating. If you want to negotiate prices, you can only do so through the contact list with other dimension merchants.]
"Alright." Jiang Yuntan wasn't too disappointed either. In fact, the system's functions were already very good for her.
Moreover, Jinbao hadn't even forced her to do anything.
But just as this thought crossed her mind, she heard Jinbao say, [Boss, you should still work hard to earn more points and level up quickly.]
Jiang Yuntan: ...
She retorted, "Do you think I don't want to level up quickly? I've been running for my life all day; it's good enough that I can check back in at night."
Besides, she did want to sell things. But looking at what she had, and seeing that the other dimension merchants' goods were all very special—spiritual fruits, pills, flying cars—she had even seen a starship yesterday.
Sensing her low spirits, Jinbao encouraged her, afraid she might lose motivation: [It's okay. You only got this system yesterday, and you're already a level one dimension merchant. That's great.]
[I've heard some systems say that there are people who have had the dimension system for half a year and haven't even reached level one.]
Jiang Yuntan: ...
She really didn't want to respond to that.
Just then, Mu Qingtang sent her a message and initiated a video call.
Jiang Yuntan accepted.
On their current trade window, only she had placed items on it. Most of them were gold, jade, and jewelry, along with a hundred watches and two hundred lighters.
Actually, she still had more of both items, but she didn't want to take them all out at once. In business, sometimes it's about making a steady, long-term profit.
Knowing Mu Qingtang had never seen a simple lighter like this, Jiang Yuntan demonstrated one and said, "This is a relatively simple lighter, very different from the one I gave you last time. Although it doesn't look as refined, its function is exactly the same."
The difference might be that the lighter she gave her yesterday was more windproof and consumed less gas. But this batch she found for Mu Qingtang was also windproof lighters, and since they were so cheap, why demand perfection?
"It's fine, as long as the function is the same," Mu Qingtang replied. She then asked, "Is there anything you want?"
"Not for now. I have a favor to ask. Can you help me, Princess?" Jiang Yuntan asked.
"What? Tell me first." Mu Qingtang didn't agree immediately, not because she was worried about anything, but because she was afraid that if she agreed too quickly, she might not be able to fulfill Jiang Yuntan's request.
"I heard that in your world, gold, silver, and jewelry can be exchanged for dimension coins. I've found some gold, silver, and jewelry these past two days. Can you help me exchange them for dimension coins?"
Jiang Yuntan continued, "If it's possible, I can give you ten percent of the dimension coins exchanged as compensation."
"I thought it was something serious. It's just a small matter. Of course I can. If you want to exchange them, just send them over along with the watches and lighters," Mu Qingtang agreed readily.
Jiang Yuntan confirmed the trade on their transaction interface.
Seeing the abundance of watches and lighters inside, Mu Qingtang's eyes lit up. She asked, "What else do you want?"
She continued, "When I help you exchange the dimension coins, you've already given me ten percent as compensation. So for these watches and lighters, what do you want me to give in exchange?"
Jiang Yuntan thought for a moment and said, "I want your meals. Can you make an extra portion of your three daily meals for me? And every day, buy some things from my showcase until you've made a hundred purchases."
"Just that?" Mu Qingtang was a bit surprised.
"Yes. I'm too lazy to cook, so I just want daily meals, snacks, and fruits. To save you from using up your daily trade quota, you can provide seven days' worth of meals at once."
Mu Qingtang didn't expect her request to be so simple. She asked, "How long do you want me to provide this for?"
"Half a year. After half a year, I should be able to find someone to cook, or learn to cook myself," Jiang Yuntan said calmly.
It wasn't that she couldn't cook, but she didn't want to reveal the scarcity of food in her world to Mu Qingtang.
But in ancient times, precision items like watches were scarce, and lighters were definitely more convenient than tinderboxes.
"Alright, no problem," Mu Qingtang agreed readily.
Hearing Jiang Yuntan's words and sensing that she probably hadn't eaten much today, Mu Qingtang placed the lotus blossom pastries on her table, a pot of clear tea, and the sweet melon just cut by her servants into the trade interface.
Mu Qingtang said, "You haven't eaten much today, right? Here are some snacks and tea. Eat something first. It'll take some time for me to exchange those gold and jewelry for dimension coins."
"Thank you, Princess." Jiang Yuntan smiled and didn't stand on ceremony.
"You're welcome." Mu Qingtang waved her hand.
Originally, she thought Jiang Yuntan would only ask her to exchange some gold and jewelry. But after she accepted the items Jiang Yuntan sent over, the thick layer of gold ornaments and many jade ornaments and accessories at the bottom directly dazzled her eyes.
Mu Qingtang's expression was a bit complicated. "I thought you were poor. Looks like I misunderstood."
Jiang Yuntan said frankly, "Before today, I really was poor."
Mu Qingtang: ...
She first took out the watches and lighters she had traded with Jiang Yuntan.
Just then, Jiang Yuntan suddenly said, "Among those watches, there's a wooden box that's a gift for you. You can open it and take a look."
Mu Qingtang opened it and found a small, exquisite watch inside, but the strap was made of gold. The gold strap was composed of several small, peony-window-shaped pieces similar in size, with smooth little gold beads in the middle.
Mu Qingtang's eyes lit up. "It's so unique and beautiful. Thank you."
She tried it on her wrist and found it looked no different from the bracelets she usually wore. She used to think watches didn't look good on the wrist, but now she didn't have to worry about that.
"You're welcome. I'm glad you like it." Jiang Yuntan smiled. After all, the princess had been very generous when they first met.
Mu Qingtang didn't forget the main task amidst her joy. "I'll help you exchange your items for dimension coins right away."
Soon, the conversion results came out.
