Chapter 581: Chapter 239 My Son is a Treacherous Minister (Part 15)_2
Student Xiao D hurriedly rolled out from the corner and cheerfully replied, "Okay! Just a moment, please!"
Inside the library space, a beam of light flashed across the Light Computer in front of He Tiantian’s Divine Soul.
Then, rows of products appeared on the virtual screen.
"A Skill Book on How to Thrive in Ancient Times?"
He Tiantian spotted this one among the many items at first glance.
It was not that the name of the Skill Book was particularly eye-catching, but rather the price was delightful.
The original price was 12 points, but after using a 90% discount card, that would only be 1.2 points.
Rounded up, that’s just 1 point, virtually free!
"Student Xiao D, this is the one!"
He Tiantian pointed into the void without a moment’s hesitation.
"Okay! Dear!"
Xiao D became an enthusiastic e-commerce customer service representative.
It didn’t forget to remind He Tiantian, "Dear, products like Skill Books do not support a seven-day no-reason return or exchange policy."
"Please consider carefully before placing your order, otherwise, once the goods are sold, they are non-refundable."
He Tiantian: ... Although a bit awkward, it was not incomprehensible.
Even in real-life online shopping, the common rule is a seven-day no-reason return or exchange policy, but some special products do not support this.
As long as the seller informs you in advance, it’s not considered a violation.
However—
He Tiantian narrowed her eyes and looked at the bouncing Student Xiao D.
Yo-ho, this little guy has learned to smarten up, knowing the principle of "speak the ugly truth up front" now.
"Okay, I got it! I’m sure I want to exchange for the Skill Book ’How to Thrive in Ancient Times.’"
He Tiantian ridiculed Student Xiao D inwardly, but her face didn’t show it.
But, at the last moment, she still asked, "By the way, Dian Niang Mall rounds up during price calculation, right?"
Student Xiao D: ...
Its white fluffy fur bristled for a moment but quickly returned to normal.
"...Yes! We do!" Student Xiao D seemed to want to curse: Tightwad! Fussing over even 0.2 of a point.
He Tiantian just shrugged, considering this thriftiness.
Besides, it was a standard rule established by convention, and she wasn’t the only one following it, right?!
"Ding! Product purchase successful!" Student Xiao D reverted to its rigid robotic tone, broadcasting without any hint of emotion.
He Tiantian didn’t mind; she simply said, "Redeem the product!"
"Ding! Product redemption successful!" Student Xiao D continued playing its unemotional, clueless assistant role.
He Tiantian could only see the virtual product turn into a beam of light, which then funneled straight into her head.
Immediately after, an immense amount of knowledge poured into her brain.
It took a long time before He Tiantian gradually assimilated all the content.
"Damn! So it’s like this!"
Having fully grasped the knowledge, He Tiantian couldn’t help but swear out loud.
What Skill Book, this is simply the kind of material that web novel authors prepare for writing stories.
Glass, soap, gunpowder, these are the classic time-traveling trifecta.
The summarizer of this collection must be some big shot from Dian Niang’s male-audience web novels, with all kinds of detailed processes and even a catalog of ancient substitutes.
It had some use, but, but, she could find all this stuff online in reality.
At most, she just needed to summarize it herself and figure out substitutions for what wasn’t available in ancient times.
Just for something akin to a notebook, daring to claim it’s a "Skill Book" and have the nerve to price it at 12 points?
"To be precise, Tiantian, you only spent 1 point," Student Xiao D, sensing He Tiantian’s inner voice, couldn’t help but interject to argue back.
"I have a 90% discount card, it’s my right, and the actual list price of this Skill Book is 12 points."
He Tiantian didn’t feel like she had gotten a bargain.
She couldn’t say that just because she had a discount card, she should feel grateful for whatever she bought.
If it’s not worth it, it’s not worth it!
"...Well, it’s not really worthless, Tiantian. Besides the time-traveling trifecta, there are many useful skills in the Skill Book."
Student Xiao D sensed that He Tiantian wasn’t just casually critiquing but was genuinely upset and hurriedly explained, "For example, the knowledge about agriculture, you certainly can find basic information online."
"But the Skill Book from Dian Niang Mall records much more specialized content."
"Cuttings, hybridization, compost, three-dimensional breeding, and so on and so forth, so many specialized subjects, no need for you to search the internet or study specifically, all solved by just one Skill Book."
"Also, in addition to these skills, there are others, like how to pass the imperial examinations, how to adjudicate cases, how to open trade routes..."
