The General Store Between Two Worlds

In the capital of the Great Yu Kingdom, a general store opened in an unremarkable little alley. At first, someone simply bought sugar as white as snow there. The news spread, and the people flocked to the shop, only to discover that it held a world of wonders. Its goods came from all corners of the earth, and it had anything they could want. But the owner was mysterious and eccentric. The stranger the item you wanted to buy, the stranger the payment he demanded. Two worthless seabirds could be exchanged for a whole crate of gleaming glassware. Two ordinary-looking animal cubs could be exchanged for grain seeds yielding a thousand jin per mu. Two pots of unremarkable plants could be exchanged for a recipe for distilled alcohol. At first, Yin Qiufeng only wanted to make a little money trading goods between two worlds. But later, he found himself deep in thought as he looked at the tasks issued by the System and all the strange species he had brought back. What was he supposed to do with these extinct and endangered plants and animals? This was seriously illegal. He heard a plant and animal research expert had moved into the neighboring estate to recover from an illness. Well, sorry about this, Professor. The expert, Li Yan, looked at the white-flag dolphin that had suddenly appeared in his bathtub, the clouded leopard cub rolling around on his sofa, the red-crowned crane nesting on his estate, and the extinct plants that had somehow appeared in his flower bed... He, too, was deep in thought. Then one day, Li Yan went out to buy soy sauce and spotted a sapling of the nearly extinct dove tree on the windowsill of a general store not far from his estate. Li Yan recalled that the strange plants and animals first appeared at his estate around the same time the young store owner opened his shop. Very good. You have my attention. The System, which had bound itself to the wrong person, watched events take a strange detour before finally getting back on track. It, too, was deep in thought. A money-loving bottom with an unusual way of thinking x a witty, talkative top whose mind is just as unusual Thanks to @Shi Wujun for the character card. Sending love. Reader's guide: 1. Plot-driven, romance develops in the middle and later chapters, one-on-one, both characters are virgins. 2. Set in an alternate ancient world. Goods are brought back from ancient times, and this won't affect the development of the ancient world. 3. The modern and ancient sections are roughly equal in length, but both leads are modern people and won't live in ancient times for long. It fits the modern fantasy category. 4. A feel-good power fantasy. Don't scrutinize the logic. 5. No need to tell me if you drop the novel. This 155-centimeter-tall author will jump up and blow you a kiss. Coming soon: "The Disgraced Crown Prince's Unusual Journey" Blurb: A newly opened film and television base draws huge crowds. Tourists, extras, vendors, production crews... Jun Qiulan, who came from ancient times, blends right in. Others might come here for fun or for their dreams, but Jun Qiulan only wants to make money. Then spend it. The rice in the supermarket costs two yuan per jin, yet its quality rivals the tribute rice he ate back when he was crown prince. He spends one yuan on a defective mouthwash cup from a street vendor, then takes it back to ancient times and trades it for a house where his family can shelter from the wind and rain. He spends ten yuan at a recycling yard on a pile of books, and his family uses their contents to prosper in the bitterly cold borderlands. To make money, Jun Qiulan ends up becoming an extra at the film and television base by sheer chance. He adapts easily to the change in status from a disgraced crown prince to a lowly actor. At first, he only wanted to use his ability to travel between two worlds to make money in the modern world and give the family members he had dragged down a better life. But gradually, things got more and more out of his control. A border general whose troops are chronically short on food and pay urges him to rebel, hoping to get high-yield crops from him. A former chancellor who was disgraced years ago keeps teaching him the ways of emperors in exchange for the reference books he brings back. Jun Qiulan: ... Becoming emperor is out of the question, but when he sees the freedom and peace of the modern world alongside a feudal society rotten to the core, he figures a rebellion might be worth a try. A rebellion takes even more money, so he starts making a name for himself among the extras. But he never expected an eccentric director to take an interest in him and stumble upon his secret.
