Chapter 2 - Activating the Dimensional Trading System

The jade pendant was still there, her hand resting on the simple phoenix pattern. A vast, black space appeared in her mind, empty yet seemingly endless.

A mechanical voice rang in her head, "Correct host matched... Dimensional Trading System binding in progress."

"Dimensional Trading System successfully bound."

Luo Sui Sui's eyes were filled with doubt and curiosity, "What are you?"

"This system is not a thing, this system is the Dimensional Trading System."

Just as she finished speaking, a mechanical, garbled voice suddenly appeared.

Luo Sui Sui heard a childish, annoyed voice, "No, I... this system is a thing."

"Ugh, so annoying! @¥#!"

Luo Sui Sui, who had been feeling down, laughed. Her pure and bright face was like a spring breeze, blooming flowers, refreshing and delightful.

The system immediately calmed down, and the little voice couldn't help but praise, "Host, you're so beautiful."

"Thank you for the compliment, little system, what's your name?"

"Ahem, please set a name for the system, host."

Luo Sui Sui's eyes curved into a smile, "Since it's about trading, let's call it 'Zhuan Zhuan' (Earn Earn)."

Her father, Luo Wen Yao, was known as the "old fox" of the business world in Haicheng, so of course she had to learn from him.

Zhuan Zhuan: "System name changed successfully."

"This name is so cute, just like its name. I want to become the most profitable one in the dimensional system."

Luo Sui Sui thought her system was quite interesting, it even had two faces.

"You mean there are other dimensional systems?"

Zhuanzhuan: "Of course there are, otherwise how could the host trade across dimensions? However, only one system exists in each dimension. For example, the Orc Dimension, the Ancient Dimension, the Interstellar Dimension, the Cultivation Dimension, and so on."

"Each dimension has a different level. The Orc Dimension and the Ancient Dimension are level one. The dimension the host is in is currently level two, but it will be upgraded to level three after the apocalypse."

Luo Suisui: "You know our world will become the apocalypse?"

"Of course. It was the blood seeping from your cut palm that activated me. That's why I was reborn. It's just that I lost too much energy, and the space that comes with the dimensional trading system has become dark and murky. It used to have mountains and rivers."

"It's okay, it's already very good." Luo Suisui comforted it. This space with no visible boundaries can hold a lot of resources.

"Zhuanzhuan, can you explain the rules of dimensional trading to me again?"

[The host can see ten display windows where they can put their goods for sale. Everyone with a system can buy them.] [

The trading plaza will be open for two days each month, giving the host unrestricted opportunities to trade with other planes. However, to trade privately, other hosts must send invitations, or the other party must invite you.]

"To trade privately, you need to use points. The host is currently a level zero plane merchant. Once you reach one hundred points, you can become a level one plane merchant and privately chat with one person. You earn one point for each item sold. Besides exchanging, you can also use plane currency for regular buying and selling."

Luo Sui nodded and continued, "Then how many points are needed to become a level two plane merchant?"

"One thousand."

"So, a level three plane merchant needs ten thousand points?"

"Mmm, the host is so smart," the mechanical little voice echoed.

Luo Sui: Do you want this smartness?

Oh well, I'll just list items in small quantities more often.

While thinking about what to say to her father later, Luo Sui looked at the plane trading system.

Her father was coming back today, and in a few days, it seemed her mother would be returning with Su Wanwan.

She had been immersed in the plane trading system, and was a little unsure how to face him, like a traveler returning home with trepidation.

But she was determined to expose Su Wanwan; she couldn't let her stay in the Luo family, otherwise, like in her past life, she would be tricked by Su Wanwan's strange methods at any time.

Just like her superpower, which was destroyed by Su Wanwan because of a simple glass of milk.

Downstairs, Luo Wenyao, dressed in a well-tailored suit, was elegant and wise. Time seemed to have never eroded him, leaving him with a calm and composed demeanor.

"Where is Miss? Has she not had lunch yet?" Luo Wenyao asked the approaching butler.

The butler shook his head. "Miss hasn't left her room today."

Their young lady had an excellent personality and would never make things difficult for them, but she especially disliked being disturbed while sleeping.

Luo Wenyao: "Prepare lunch." After saying that, he went upstairs to wake his daughter up for lunch.

She had a cold, and skipping lunch wouldn't be good for her health.

At the door, Luo Wenyao knocked, his voice deep and resonant, "Sui Sui, are you up?"

Luo Sui Sui snapped out of her reverie, got up to open the door, and was somewhat taken aback when she saw her father's energetic appearance.

At this time, her father, not yet having experienced the ravages of the apocalypse, still looked spirited and vigorous.

"Daddy," she said, her sweet voice choked with sobs.

Luo Wenyao's heart clenched instantly. "What's wrong? Why are you so pale? Who bullied our precious Sui Sui?"

Could it be that Sui Sui already knew about Su Wanwan's existence? No, no one knew except him and Rong'er.

Luo Sui Sui wept, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word.

Looking at his usually pampered and sweet-smiling daughter, now streaked with tears, Luo Wenyao felt utterly helpless.

Sui Sui must have found out; otherwise, why would she be so heartbroken?

Thinking this, his composure vanished, and he quickly bent down to comfort her, "Sui Sui, don't cry. No matter what, you'll always be Mommy and Daddy's precious daughter. We'll still treat you well as always."

Luo Sui Sui nodded, sobbing. She knew her father was telling the truth, because in their previous life, they truly had. Even though they believed Su Wanwan was their biological daughter, they still considered her feelings.

Seeing that she had calmed down a bit, Luo Wenyao took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped away her tears.

His tone was gentle, "Sui Sui, go wash your face, then come downstairs to eat with Dad."

Luo Sui Sui took his hand, "Dad, I have something to tell you."

The two went to the sofa in Luo Sui Sui's room and sat down.

Luo Sui Sui pursed her lips, saying with lingering fear, "Dad, I just had a nightmare. I dreamt that April 28th was the end of the world, natural disasters struck, zombies roamed the land, danger was everywhere..."

She glanced at Luo Wenyao and continued describing the apocalypse, "In the dream, Dad, Mom, Grandpa Gu, and Brother Nan Yan were all killed by Su Wanwan, and later I was forced to jump off a cliff. Then I woke up."

After finishing, she asked, "And, Dad, you met Su Wanwan, and even did a paternity test with her, right?"

Luo Wenyao nodded heavily, "Yes, but why would Sui Sui have this dream?"

Luo Suisui was somewhat agitated, "Dad, in my dream, Su Wanwan said that because you wanted to do another paternity test after the base received a new batch of equipment, she killed you."
