Chapter 1: I, Su Li, a time traveller, have a system!
It was the sixth year of the Zhen Guan era, and spring had arrived on the farmland on the outskirts of Changan City!
Su Li was wearing a short coat and was working hard. The spring sun wasnt too hot, but he was sweating profusely due to overwork.
While seeing the sun rising, Su Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and took out the steamed pancakes he had made last night. The pancakes turned hard overnight, and he could only break them open and eat them with water.
The systemplease do something, the system Su Li slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, like a salted fish without dreams.
As a time traveller, Su Li possessed a system, but his situation was far from ideal compared to other seasoned travellers. He envied those who didnt have a system but still managed to survive.
Su Li had been struggling to manage the ten acres of land he inherited from his deceased parents all by himself, which had taken a toll on his energy.
Su Li had fuzzy memories of iron smelting and brewing, but without sufficient funds and manpower, he could only rely on trial and error based on his limited knowledge. Being a peasant, he couldnt afford the luxury of trial and error.
Joining the army was also not an option for him, as his body was weakened from years of labour, and he couldnt go without meals for days. Going to the battlefield was a fantasy, and he might become someone elses military achievement.
Perhaps he could try his hand at being a copywriter? Su Li dismissed the idea quickly, knowing that he lacked education during this period. He was a simple peasants son and didnt belong in the literary world.
Moreover, Su Li had a limited amount of knowledge about the current trends that were necessary to write proper poems and other such writings. He felt inadequate in both literary and martial skills. He spent his days eating in the mud, facing the loess with his back to the sky.
Fortunately, the early Tang Dynasty was a time of relative peace and prosperity. Since the emperor Li Shimin killed his brother at the Xuanwu Gate, the world had finally entered a year of calm.
The peasants had a peaceful life. At least the taxes could be easily managed. There was no threat of war and corrupt officers in the early Tang Dynasty. This was already rare prosperity. Su Li couldnt help but feel grateful for the peaceful times he lived in.
Then, as a reader, you will now question, How about the system.
Su Lis system was hard to describe. His system was called the Random Shop System.
Every day, the system would randomly refresh five items for purchase. Su Li had the option to keep one item at the top of the list, which would not be updated, while the remaining products would be restocked the next day if they didnt sell.
Thinking of the system, Su Li subconsciously looked at the contents of todays store.
[Permanent top product: one-time shuttle door (you could specify time travel to return to modern times.) Value: 9999w points. (Editor Note: W=10K)Commodity 2: Attribute point gift pack (1-3 attribute points could be randomly obtained.) Value: 10,000 points.

Fuck you Su Li stared at the products refreshed in the store today. These items were precious and could benefit Su Li in his current situation. However, his available points were still zero, and he felt frustrated.
Su Lis system was powerful, with a wide range of products available daily. However, obtaining points to buy these products was not easy for him.
The main way to earn points was through physical contact with people of high status, but as a humble peasant, it was challenging for Su Li to contact such individuals.
Su Li was just a peasant
The highest status that he could meet was the three elders of the township. Although the three elders were not considered official, they had a high status and prestige which meant that Su Li could easily approach them.
Finally, he got in touch with them during the autumn festival last year, but he didnt get any points.
No points
This was also the main reason Su Li was still so disappointed.
This created a frustrating cycle for Su Li. He needed points to improve himself and access better products, but he couldnt earn points without coming into contact with people of high status.
Thus, Su Li fell into an endless loop.
There was no difference whether there was a system or not because Su Li still had to think about what to eat tomorrow, how much to eat, and how to wait for the harvest like a real peasant.
When will these difficult days end, Su Li fell into deep thought with the hoe on his back.
Su Li, who is still begging for a living with a hoe on his back, will never have imagined that he will soon become the center of public opinion in the entire Changan City.
