    Without going to the countryside, and with a powerful family background! In this era of scarcity, Wen Jingshu awakens the "Limited-Time Flash Sale System." The system offers flash sales of modern goods three times a day—morning, noon, and evening—at extremely low prices, with an exchange rate of 1:100 to 1970 currency. The system also features a "source rationalization" function, ensuring that the packaging and provenance of the extracted items match the historical context, and possesses an unlimited-capacity system warehouse. Wen Jingshu's initial starting capital is the 587 yuan saved by the original owner of this body.
