Chapter 10, A Large Amount of Money
Hey, I haven't earned a single cent so far (not counting coins), but that old guy has managed to swipe quite a few things from me. However, I won't fall out with Old Wu over just two chicken feet.
Dingdong, the task personnel Zhou Tian has completed the task of the First Emperor of Qin in twenty-one days, which is considered an overachievement. In addition to the reward for the task itself, he will also receive an additional thirty days of vacation. Should he claim the extra task reward now
Is this not a dream? Zhou Tian looked at the foot-binding cloth beside him in confusion
Listening to the rumbling in my stomach, I made a decision on Sunday to reach into the cardboard box where the tickets were placed and grab a handful. After all, it's just a matter of losing a bit of dignity, I can endure it.
Depositing money in the bank is not worth considering; just the handling fees alone would likely take half of it, and then one would have to face criticism. Even if there were no fees, I wouldn't dare to deposit it myself. If someone were to treat it as a disturbance and beat me up, I would have no place to seek redress.
Stealing, what a joke, this box of coins weighs at least 200 pounds; if that thief is in poor health, he wouldn't even be able to lift it
The beautiful wife is gone, but there is indeed a hard board. Stop pondering over those things, wash up and go to sleep. Who knows, you might even dream of that beautiful wife of Zhao Gao in your dreams.
Thus, after a night of silence (and no one spoke to him), when Zhou Tian woke up the next morning, he found that he was not at all affected by Zhao Gao's psychological shadow. He was as usual, standing tall, and moreover, he had even had a spring dream last night... Hehe...
Time flows like water, and the years sing like a song (this phrase is quite strong). In the blink of an eye, Sunday has returned to a certain evening in 2010...
Ding dong, the official staff reward has been received. Would you like to continue claiming other rewards?" While Zhou Tian was still studying the watch, a mechanical sound echoed from the cave.
It is better to avoid engaging in such high-risk activities. After some contemplation, Zhou Tian decided to take the thirty-day leave.
Just as Zhou Tian was happily planning to accept the reward on a Sunday, a sudden roar erupted from the cave entrance. Immediately, with a loud crash, a deluge of coins poured out from the opening, burying Zhou Tian, who was still grinning widely, beneath them.
After tidying everything up, Zhou Tian glanced at the clock and found it was already 10:30. Although his body had not traveled through time, his spirit had taken a tour of the Qin Dynasty. These past few days had been filled with schemes and fears, which had indeed inflicted some trauma on Zhou Tian's psyche. Now he felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally, especially after having been a eunuch for over twenty days, suffering considerable blows both physiologically and psychologically.
It was indeed Wu Lao'er who ascended once again, exchanged a few polite words with Zhou Tian, and then tricked Zhou Tian out of two chicken feet.
The grocery store, still the same grocery store, the instant noodles are still the same bowl of instant noodles, only now there is an extra piece of cloth for wrapping my feet at hand
Is it voice-activated?" Zhou Tian attempted to say, "Continue."
Ding dong, the task personnel Zhou Tian has successfully received a thirty-day vacation. Please be prepared to collect the regular rewards. Regular rewards: a substantial amount of money
"It is actually still luminous at night." Zhou Tian took the watch and looked at it; this watch was no different from the electronic watches sold for five yuan at street stalls.
Ding dong, the task personnel Zhou Tian has completed the task of wrapping feet for Qin Shi Huang, officially becoming a clerk in the grocery store and library, and has received a task watch. Suddenly, a flash of blue light appeared at the dark entrance of the cave, and then a watch shimmering with silver light floated out from within the cave.
A large amount of money! Compared to that so-called holiday, Zhou Tian prefers this regular task reward. What Zhou Tian lacks now is money, a substantial amount of money. Hehe, he must treat himself to at least thirty or twenty thousand.
When Zhou Tian heard about the reward for exceeding the task, he did not feel particularly happy. What does a thirty-day vacation even mean? Does it imply that if he does not exceed the task, he would have to continue traversing? This is unacceptable. Although this time's traversal cannot be described as life-threatening, it is certainly not safe. Moreover, he has ended up in the body of a eunuch, and even now, Zhou Tian feels that the part below does not belong to him. If he were to traverse a few more times, he would surely end up impotent. This is unacceptable. Although this time's traversal cannot be described as life-threatening, it is certainly not safe.

The sound of clattering. Zhou Tian used a dustpan to sweep up those one-cent coins. Although the number of these coins looked alarming, they likely did not amount to much in total. This sack probably wouldn't even be enough to buy a decent smartphone.
Zhou Tian plans to sell some counterfeit goods first to make some quick money, but the business in this grocery store is as poor as yesterday's - pictures - books. After staying for an entire morning, not a single person has come in.
Upon checking the production date last Sunday, I discovered that these items were all new. It seems that the source of these counterfeit goods is also within this grocery store. In this case, I no longer need to worry about sourcing the goods, and I won't have to handle the procurement myself.
Although Zhou Tian is wealthy now, those small bills are not easy to carry. Moreover, if you use these small bills to buy things, it would be surprising if others treat you well—one cannot afford to lose face.
Zhou Tian curiously walked over and threw the foot-binding cloth in.
Ding dong, the reward collection has ended. The cave entrance once again emanated a blue light, and after a flash of brilliance, the entrance returned to its ordinary shelf appearance. However, unlike before, the two bottles of "Golden Eight Blessings" and the chicken feet, which had originally been taken by Wu Lao Er, reappeared in their original positions.
After a long time, Zhou Tian finally crawled out from the mountain of coins with great difficulty, exclaiming: "Indeed, this is a vast amount of money... If only they were all one yuan coins, I would probably have been crushed to death today."
The old clock in the shop still points to 8:00, and the instant noodles in hand and the *illustrated* book are still warm. If all of this is true, it means that I just took a stroll in the Qin Dynasty, and only a short while has passed here.
By noon, seeing that no one had come to the door, Zhou Tian began to feel a bit anxious. With no one around, how could he make any money? The most pressing issue was that he hadn't had a proper meal since yesterday.
Zhou Tian found a cardboard box, threw all the scraps of paper into it, casually placed the box down, and went about his business.
Zhou Tian now truly hopes that Zhao Gao's beautiful wife could be by his side, even if just to provide him with some comfort
Task personnel, please place the collected items in the item collection area. While Zhou Tian was lost in thought, a sudden flash of blue light emerged from a nearby shelf. Immediately, a hole appeared in the cabinet that emitted the blue light, and a label was affixed above the hole, stating: Item Collection Area
Casually picking up some items from the grocery store for breakfast, Zhou Tian opened the shop door and sat listlessly on the three-legged stool, lost in thought
Are there any rewards? On Sunday, I looked around the entrance and it seemed there were no buttons or anything like that. How do we continue?
