The Wizard Got Rich Selling Earthly Specialties

[No CP + My Take on Western Fantasy + Overpowered Hero's Leveling Journey + Food]

System: [Congratulations! You have transmigrated to a Western fantasy world full of magic, knights, and strange races! Here's a golden finger: you can watch ads after you die to revive... Huh?]

I linked to the wrong person!

I linked to a local?!

Six-year-old, just starting out as a mage, Shi Ying: “So, will you leave me, Wise One?”

This world has all kinds of professions: mages, knights, assassins, alchemists, and more.

Since human territory has little magic and few resources, locals have to determine their talents from childhood, choose a profession, and specialize in it. Once they reach a certain level, they form an adventuring party and head out together to gather resources in monster territory rich in magic. They can die seven or eight times on a single trip.

Other people even have to take out loans to buy revival magic and scrolls, and they still haven't paid them off ten years after graduating from university (the interworld academy).

So even though Shi Ying is still little, he's very glad this inexplicable thing appeared in his mind. It'll save him a lot of money.

System: [...Link!]. Well, since we're here.

Afterward, besides getting free chances to revive, Shi Ying unexpectedly unlocked a hidden perk:

Watch snack ads and get potato chips, spicy gluten snacks, and self-heating hot pot. Watch home goods ads and win an iron wok, a kitchen knife, and a stainless steel steamer.

Watch agricultural ads and score a tractor, fertilizer, and superior seeds. Watch personal care ads and get soap, shampoo, and serum.

He can even win appliances, tools, and emergency supplies...

After a while, Shi Ying had accumulated more and more stuff. He decided to try selling some of it. He needed money.

The fertilizer made magical plants grow like crazy; healing ointments blew the church's shoddy salves out of the water, and the personal care products became all the rage among noble ladies...

He set an iron wok over the fire and stewed every kind of monster from another world. What could he say? The ads even had the three essentials for removing gamey odors. This was high-tech!

The poor little Shi Ying was well on his way to making a fortune with products from Earth, just a few steps away from his dream of getting rich.

At the same time, he added another item to his list of goals, as planned out by the System:

Become the youngest Archmage on the continent!

Shi Ying's eyes widened.

System: [Don't worry. In our world, we call this “grabbing both ends”!]

[You can get your hands on the Archmage title and become a successful merchant too!]

Shi Ying nodded enthusiastically. “Please teach me more techniques from another world, Wise System!”

System: [Ahem.]

It felt cruel to bully a little local, so it might as well be a caretaker System.

Later...

He really did it!
