Lady of the Lord From the East

[Edited] Chapter 7

Wei Wei expressed her satisfaction with the room and thanked the housekeeper before sending everyone away to rest. As she settled onto the freshly made bed, she finally felt her back relax.

"Alright, system, tell me about this body. What abilities do I have, and how much have you altered the game's settings?"

The reincarnation system promptly began its report. Perhaps due to being a new official, it was straightforward and lacked human-like nuances. It had negotiated with Wei Wei to grant her the identity of a female doctor in "Reincarnation" and replicated her abilities accordingly.

Wei Wei had never been fond of player-versus-player battles in games; she preferred the laid-back lifestyle. Therefore, she had acquired all the life skills available to a female doctor in "Reincarnation." The game, being a typical casual mobile game, was easy to navigate. Apart from supporting automated gameplay, the life skills available were fishing, gathering, pharmacy, cooking, and sewing.

Fishing and gathering served as supplementary living skills for pharmacy and cooking services. In "Reincarnation," characters didn't naturally regenerate health, so aside from specific gear and gems, medicine was essential. Food could also restore health, making both skills indispensable.

The sewing skill in "Reincarnation" is a life skill rather than a kryptonite skill, unlike fashion-related activities requiring materials mostly found in the game mall, which typically need kryptonite to purchase. While some materials can drop from specific monsters, the drop rates are quite low.

Wei Wei wasn't particularly invested in sewing; she had learned it primarily to craft a set of costumes she fancied in the game. That particular set required self-purchased materials and demanded a high sewing level, prompting her to max out her sewing skills alongside other life skills.

The system adhered to her preferences by removing all martial arts skills from the female doctor's repertoire, leaving her proficient only in medicine and poison as per the story's setting. However, it preserved all life skills without their original special effects. Additionally, the system incorporated a home system akin to an in-game farm, allowing players to own and cultivate their land. While Wei Wei couldn't obtain this feature through the property system, she retained the ability to plant various crops, flowers, and trees.

This meant Wei Wei now possessed medical and poisonous skills along with farming, cooking, and sewing abilities.

"I can make a lot of money here," she mused, surprised by the unexpected benefits of retaining these life skills.

Wei Wei hadn't initially expected the Reincarnation System to keep her life skills when she chose to be a female doctor. However, she realized that even after the system cut those skills, they still provided substantial benefits.

It's often said that having even one skill can prevent starvation. Now she had multiple skills to rely on, ensuring her self-sufficiency even without bringing anything from her previous life.

Wei Wei suddenly remarked, "Did you help me retain these skills because the crossing coordinates were wrong?"

The reincarnation system, caught off guard by her astuteness, admitted, "[Yes, yes]."

"You should have told me earlier; I'm sorry for blaming you," Wei Wei replied, her gaze softening as she looked at Xiao Guangdian, the system.

Wei Wei's smile was somewhat rueful. "Well, it's no wonder. I took advantage of the situation. With all this, I should be able to live a good life."

The reincarnation system inquired, [Do you still want compensation then?]

"No, no, I was just being greedy," Wei Wei replied, shaking her head. "Thank you, system."

The reincarnation system, slightly confused by Wei Wei's gratitude, had initially added more benefits due to her thanks during time travel, causing an error. Now, hearing her gratitude again, the system regained its emotional connection from that time.

As a newly created system, Wei Wei was its first human contact. Her natural affection and friendly demeanor prompted the system, like a baby, to do what it could within its authority to assist her. If the previous system had still been in office, Wei Wei likely wouldn't have had any room for negotiation.

"Alright, then you need to quickly sort through your belongings. I can't stay here for too long; I'll be blamed if I don't return on time," the system reminded Wei Wei.

Understanding the situation, Wei Wei asked the system to display everything she had.

Her game inventory was no longer accessible; everything now resided in the system's storage space.

Wei Wei's inventory consisted of various categories: food, medicine, gems, seeds, fashion items, and equipment.

Food and potions were essential for survival in "Reincarnation." While the game supported automated gameplay, it didn't automatically restore health and mana. Wei Wei had 999 pieces each of Huilan and Huisheng's medicines and food, as she had just restocked them before her death.

The gems in her inventory were intended for enhancing equipment. However, due to the lack of available equipment for inlaying, more than half of her gems remained unused.

Next were seeds, which players used to cultivate their homesteads in the game. Wei Wei had received 999 of each seed type, equivalent to the standards set for food and potions.

Wei Wei was pleasantly surprised by the seeds. Although they were common varieties, some were not yet known in her time. The system explained that these optimized seeds were highly productive and stable, making them valuable assets in this era.

Lastly, her equipment and fashion items had transformed into ordinary clothes and items after crossing over. They were automatically added to her inventory.

Overall, Wei Wei's new inventory gave her a significant advantage in this world.

These clothes couldn't be worn due to stylistic issues, but their fabrics and decorations were genuine valuables. For instance, in the bag Wei Wei had been carrying all along, the system had disassembled the fashion items into jewelry.

According to the system, it was reasonable for Miss Qianjin to have taken her jewelry box and private money when she escaped overnight—it was a temporary decision, after all.

Aside from these items, Wei Wei discovered that she possessed a substantial amount of money—a real gold ingot, a full 20,000 taels of gold!

This currency matched her game account, which should have been in silver taels, but the system had automatically converted it to gold ingots due to the vast amount. Now she had only 20,000 taels of gold ingots left.

Even with this reduced amount, it was still enough to form a substantial heap.

However, this abundance of gold also brought Wei Wei a dilemma. While having money was advantageous, she needed to figure out where to hide such a significant amount of gold within the system's given half-month timeframe.
