Chapter 16 - 016 Quiet Change
Deep in the night when all was quiet, after walking through several streets and turning a corner, Ji You returned home. She closed the house's metallic roof and turned on the transparent light layer—this way, she could enjoy the stars in the night sky without going out.
This kind of high-tech, which could change a solid roof to an open one with just the press of a switch, was originally thought by Ji You to be very expensive. However, due to technological advancements, it was quite affordable. Virtually every household in the Alliance had such a device installed, marking it as one of the most basic equipment.
Ji You grabbed a soft mat and laid it directly in the living room. As she lay down and faced the starlight, she entered the Star Network. Her first step was to visit her online store and check the sales of the newly listed necklaces.
However—
The traffic increased by 100+, but not a single necklace had sold.
Ji You was very disappointed.
She mockingly thought to herself that such perfect 'artworks' she crafted by hand were not appreciated by anyone, truly a waste of talents.
Thinking about the balance in her account, Ji You had no time to be dejected, heartbroken, or upset... She dove back into her personal homeland, picked up an axe, and busied herself chopping wood. For some reason, she did not find it as strenuous as the previous night. It felt easier and her efficiency had greatly improved. Previously, she could only make ten chops in a minute, but now she could make at least fifteen, and even up to twenty.
An hour passed, and the system broadcasted.
Ding-dong—
