Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

"Mom, where are we going?"

"Go to the trading hall."

"sugar?"

Chang Dongning took a few seconds to process the information: "Yeah, that's right, I'm going to find the uncle who gave you candy."

She had already contacted Minister Zhang in the car and confirmed that he was in the trading hall today.

"Miss Chang, is there a surprise?" Deputy Director Zhang was waiting for her at the door early in the morning. He had been promoted and was now the deputy director of the trading hall, in charge of one of the floors of the trading hall.

I guess so.

"Shall we talk in the small meeting room?"

"it is good."

The peanuts, still covered in soil, were placed on the table: "They are the root of a plant. I think they might be edible, and I'd like to ask Deputy Director Zhang to help me with a detailed examination."

Chang Dongning had already seen his name tag and knew he had been promoted.

"Wait a moment." Zhang Hao gave Xiao Changxuan a piece of candy before leaving the reception room with two peanuts.

After a while, he returned with a preliminary test report.

"Miss Chang, this root is not poisonous and has high nutritional value; it looks a bit like a peanut."

"Peanuts? There are records of them?" Chang Dongning was taken aback. She knew that the plant looked somewhat like the peanuts she had seen in other worlds, but he directly stated the name without mentioning the peacetime period.

"Yes." Zhang Hao found the detailed information about peanuts on his watch and projected it to her.

The wasteland world has already named it peanut. It is a shrub that is not very tall, with clusters of peanuts in their outer shells. This shrub produces large flowers, and after the flowers fall, the fruits grow in clusters.

To be fair, the fruit of this shrub looks more like a peanut from peacetime, even though peacetime peanuts have an outer skin and grow underground.

"Deputy Director Zhang, where can I find a plant atlas from peacetime?"

"It's possible on the watch, but you need to grant permissions. The safe zone closed off viewing access for ordinary residents sixty years ago."

"Why?" Isn't this information monopoly?

"For safety reasons, in this world with such radiation, many plants have mutated. Some have changed in appearance and are no longer recognized. The most dangerous ones are those that have not changed in appearance, as they are very likely to be poisonous. Back then, many people relied on old picture books to find food, and they died a terrible death."

Of course, sixty years ago, a new atlas of flora and fauna was gradually created, and people could use the new atlas to find food. In order to reduce unnecessary sacrifices, access to the atlas of flora and fauna during peacetime was closed.

Chang Dongning remained noncommittal. The wasteland had been abandoned for nearly a century, and both officials and ordinary residents had long since adapted to the rules of survival.

"If you want to see it, I can apply to grant you access, but you must promise that if you discover a similar species, you will not act rashly and will send it for testing."

"Thank you, Deputy Director Zhang." Chang Dongning nodded. She wanted to look at the old animal and plant atlases only to cover up her behavior, such as digging the hole today, which she could say was something she did occasionally.

What about the future? In this world where making a living is difficult, is it really reasonable for an ordinary person like her to dig holes more than half a meter deep every now and then?

Acorn tofu was not actually the first species she discovered; the two moss-like plants and the wood ear fungus on the rotting wood were the first things she found.

However, she has not found these two items anywhere else since then. She has not submitted many points yet. One moss plant has been dried, and the other is still in her space. The wood ear mushrooms have also been dried. She plans to wait until she finds similar plants again, or until she is short of points, before submitting them.

I'll go back to the place where I found this thing in a few days.

"I'll apply for it for you tomorrow. Once the permissions are granted, your watch will receive a notification."

"Okay." The next steps are the same as last time: where it was found and how it was found.

"You mean you need to dig more than half a meter to find where the roots are growing?"

"Yes, I found a plant that was leaning over for some reason, and part of its roots were exposed. I immediately thought that it might be edible."

Zhang Hao nodded, already familiar with her intuition. Gene serums are unstable, but most people are not affected by the slight instability. However, a very small number of people will experience unknown changes.

"The amount of stuff submitted this time is also quite large, so the reward points will probably be similar to last time."

"Okay, thank you, Deputy Director Zhang."

"This is what you deserve. If you find anything else, just message me." Zhang Hao said cheerfully, "You can also contact me if you want to buy any big-ticket items for your home."

"It's nothing big, I just want to buy Xuanxuan a children's watch. He's home alone all day, and I want him to watch cartoons or something occasionally."

"That's not a big deal, you can buy it at the shopping mall upstairs. Or do you want to buy a used one?"

"I'll go take a look first, and if the price is within my budget, I'll buy a new one."

After finishing their business, Chang Dongning took Chang Xuan to the shopping center on the third floor and found the place that sold watches.

"Hello, do you have children's watches?"

"Yes, there are some suitable for children aged one to seven. They can be linked to a parent's account, allowing them to contact the child, remotely control the amount of time the child spends watching the screen, and monitor the child's activity through the watch's monitoring function."

"Can it be tested?" Chang Dongning asked curiously.

The shop assistant's expression turned serious: "Ma'am, children's watches have some detection functions, but there is a limit to the number of times they can be tested each day. Once the limit is exceeded, the watch will be locked by the authorities. Please do not try to take children under the age of seven for testing."

what?

What's going on?

She was just asking about a function, so why did it trigger a warning?

"I didn't mean to take him collecting."

Only after the store clerk explained did I understand that the official points for maternity subsidies are neither a lot nor a little, but some people have children for the purpose of obtaining these subsidies. People with impure motives will not treat their children well. They will just give them some food and take them out to collect food when they are old enough to walk, without caring about the child at all.

"A children's watch costs four or five hundred points. With his short legs, he could never earn that much even if he wore himself out." Chang Dongning patted Chang Xuan's head.

The original owner had no milk after giving birth, and the maternity allowance wasn't even enough for Chang Xuan to eat.

The sales clerk smiled and said, "Ma'am, we have an obligation to remind you of this when we sell these children's watches."

In fact, the shop assistants also knew that if someone really wanted their child to earn their own food, there were plenty of ways, such as buying a secondhand, anonymous watch.

Chang Dongning nodded in understanding: "Then let's buy one and link it to my account. I'll feel more at ease knowing that my child is home alone all day and I can contact him."

"Okay, do you want the basic model or the upgraded model?"

Is there a big difference?

"The upgraded version has a prettier appearance and is more in line with children's aesthetics." The implication is that the only difference is in appearance.

How much do the prices differ?
