Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 4 She Has the Power
The family had neither money nor food, and the only way to feed them was to go into the mountains.

But she was thin and weak, and when she went into the mountains, she could only pick up some wild fruits and vegetables; she couldn't get any meat at all.

Just as Bai Jing sighed, a voice popped into her mind: 'Ding, a matching host detected. System binding now established.'

'System binding initiated.'

'System binding 1%...10%...20%...90%...'

Bai Jing was so frightened by the sound that she dared not move.

Although she outlived the scumbag, her life wasn't easy. But because she lived in that advanced century, she still knew what the system represented.

She understood the meaning of not only the system, but also the space and the cheat system.

But she never expected that she would actually obtain a system that only appeared in novels.

[System binding 100%, ding, system binding complete. Congratulations, host, you have bound the Pay-to-Win Intelligence System.]

The system's main principle is that "money is everything, and you can't do anything without it."

Please complete your first deposit as soon as possible. If you do not complete your first deposit within three days, the system will unbind you.

Ding!
The countdown to unbinding is now 2 days, 59 hours, and 48 minutes...

top up?
Bai Jing was dumbfounded. After all, who would believe that a family of six had no savings, especially one where everyone had a formal job?

Who would believe it?

"Hello, how do I recharge?" After waiting for the system to appear, Bai Jing finally asked the question.

'Ding! Any valuable item can be exchanged for system currency. Items within one meter of the host can be appraised. Do you wish to activate this feature?'

Such a good thing! "Open it, open it!"

'Ding, host's balance is insufficient. Please recharge as soon as possible.'

Bai Jing's mouth was open, and she was cursing a lot of dirty thoughts in her head.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she quickly ran to her father's room.

That's right. Her parents now sleep in separate beds. Her father sleeps in a small room behind the main house because he can't come back to stay for even one night a month. It's kind of her mother to prepare a room for him.

Bai Jing didn't come to help her father tidy up, but rather...
Soon, Bai Jing had a silver bracelet and several Yuan Shikai silver dollars in her hand.

These were things she and her sisters had picked up back in the village, but they later gave them to their father, hoping to bring a smile to his face.

Unfortunately, he didn't get a laugh; instead, he got beaten up.

Since he doesn't care, she'll just take it and use it, returning it to its rightful owner.

With food in hand, there's no need to panic. Bai Jing thought to herself, "Recharge."

Then she noticed that the thing in her hand had immediately disappeared, and the system in her mind started beeping several times.

[A high-quality silver bracelet has been found, weighing 51 grams. It can be exchanged for 153 yuan, calculated at 3 yuan per gram.]

Four Yuan Shikai silver dollars were found, in excellent condition, and can be exchanged for 400 yuan.

[Host, would you like to recharge 553 yuan?]

Upon hearing the amount calculated by the system, Bai Jing had a bold idea: "System, can the money be withdrawn?"

If, if her guess is correct, then...

Could she try searching on Taobao?

[~~Sizzle~~]

【Nourishing】

"Can you please stop pretending to be dead?" Bai Jing also became nervous.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long; the system responded: [Buzz, system program error, restarting, please wait a moment, restarting begins...]

[Reboot complete. Host can withdraw funds, but an 80% transaction fee will be charged. Do you still wish to withdraw?]

"Damn it." Bai Jing couldn't help but swear.

Eighty percent of the time, even Li Jiacheng isn't as despicable as you.

"Can't it be less?"

[The handling fee will be reduced based on the amount of the host's spending. A 10% reduction is applied to spending 10,000, a 50% reduction to spending 100,000, and an 80% reduction to spending 1 million.]

Bai Jing was stunned. One million yuan—she had never had that much savings in her previous life.

Ha ha.

"Recharge." If withdrawing cash isn't worthwhile, it's better to recharge. Isn't it supposed to be some kind of intelligence system? Money can do everything, right? She'll give it a try and see if it really is.

[Ding, recharge successful. Host has received 553 yuan in spending points.]

Bai Jing left the back house and arrived at the foot of the back mountain. "System, where can I catch a pheasant?"

That's right, Bai Jing pays money to buy information. The intelligence system also requires intelligence, doesn't it?

【Ding. 】

It worked! Bai Jing was thrilled. Standing at the foot of the back mountain, she almost jumped up, but thankfully she held back.

[There's a wounded pheasant under a tree three miles ahead. The host can catch it, costing 10 yuan. The remaining amount is 523 yuan.]

Ten yuan! For just ten yuan, you can get information about a pheasant, and not only that, you even get a map in your head! Haha, it's worth it, so worth it!

Bai Jing hurriedly followed the red thread.

Three miles isn't far; she can manage it.

The mountain road was bumpy and uneven, but with pheasants hanging ahead, Bai Jing didn't feel tired at all.

After walking for about half an hour, Bai Jing finally arrived at her destination.

At a glance, you can see a pheasant with a broken leg flapping its wings.

Although she didn't know how it got injured, she was given the chance and naturally couldn't let it go. She pounced on it and crushed the pheasant to death.

There's nothing a pheasant can do; no matter what, it can't withstand a force dozens of times its own weight.

Carrying the pheasant, Bai Jing began her experiments again.

"System, where can I catch any more pheasants?" She was currently weak, so she naturally needed to find some that she could subdue. Otherwise, what was the point of knowing that she couldn't win?

[Ding, 10 yuan deducted. There is a pheasant with an injured wing 50 meters ahead. The host can capture it.]

Bai Jing was very happy to hear that she had been deducted another ten yuan but received information about pheasants.

Following the route map that appeared in my mind, I soon saw a pheasant with a broken wing flapping its wings.

Without saying a word, she stepped forward and grabbed the pheasant. "Haha, good, good, good! We'll have meat tonight!" Bai Jing was very excited.

She had only been back for a day, but she had already experienced hunger she hadn't felt in years; it was truly unbearable.

Looking at the two pheasants in her hands, Bai Jing's initial unease about being reborn settled down.

Back in this day and age, without some kind of cheat code, one really wouldn't have the courage to try to live. Fortunately, heaven was kind to her, sending her a system that only exists in novels.

After the two pheasants arrived, she didn't plan to go any further into the mountains, since her current body really couldn't handle the exertion.

Instead of wasting time on this, you might as well hurry home and stew the two pheasants to nourish yourself and your family.

Now that she's in charge, she naturally won't let her family go hungry.

On the way down the mountain, Bai Jing was thinking about the system's balance. To get any information, she had to spend money. She wanted to live a good and prosperous life, and the most important thing was to recharge the system.

Without the system's help, all her aspirations would have been a hundred times more difficult.

As the system says, you absolutely cannot do without money.

Ugh.
