I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 432: Give the host two solutions

Luo Qianhuai was stunned for a moment, reward? What other rewards are there?
She called up the system, and then saw an item in the reward storage column: a palace-made silk tapestry fan.

Yes, wasn't this what she got with Dream Come True last time? Why did she completely forget about it!
Wait, Gong Shan. Isn’t it what she thinks?
Luo Qianhuai's first reaction was to take a look at his clothes - an apricot short jacket and a lavender long skirt, which were conspicuously tight at night.

It was all because the system had appeared too few times these days. She was no longer as alert as she was a year ago. She placed the black robe and mask within easy reach. Even if she wanted to look for them now, it was probably too late.

Just as he was gritting his teeth and preparing to accept the torment of fate, the system unexpectedly did not enter enforcement immediately.

"Warning! It is found that the reward item 'Palace-made Kesi Tuan Fan' is moving at high speed. It is difficult to accurately locate it before it stops, and it is temporarily unable to be retrieved."

"Beep! The reward collection period has expired and the reward cannot be withdrawn in time. The reward withdrawal failed. Now let's start to evaluate the responsibility for the failure."

Luo Qianhuai's heart, which had just been relieved, began to rise again, and he began to argue: "System, you didn't get this reward because you couldn't accurately locate it, and it has nothing to do with this host. But this host is magnanimous and won't care about it. You don’t need to be so serious about the loss of the fan, you have to judge Ziwuyinmao, right?”

"Dip, the evaluation is completed. The responsibility for this failure is divided into two parts: the host did not actively fulfill the right to withdraw rewards during the entire storage period, so that it missed the opportunity and assumed 97% of the main responsibility. The system failed to accurately locate in time, Bear a secondary liability of 3%.”

"System, don't you feel guilty when you make such an evaluation that is neither objective nor fair?"

“In view that the reward entity is still intact, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the shortcut system operation manual version 1.3, the following two solutions are proposed for the host to choose:

Option 1: If you successfully withdraw the previous reward within six hours from now, only 500 points will be deducted and no punishment will be given; if you fail, the punishment will be doubled.

Option 2: Accept a random punishment from the system. "

Luo Qianhuai couldn't help but seriously consider the pros and cons of these two options.

There seems to be nothing wrong with the plan at first glance, but the system has just said that the fan is moving quickly and is difficult to locate, which means that it doesn't know where it is now, and it may not be able to get there in six hours. And in order to find it, you have to restart one or two system tasks, which then brings a lot of trouble to collect the rewards.

As for the second option, although it was called punishment, she had also experienced the previous punishment of social death, so it was actually not that difficult to accept.

In comparison, the uncertainty of option one is much higher than that of option two. Overall comparison, option two is more reliable.

Luo Qianhuai made his choice, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the system's voice again:
"Warning! The selection has timed out, and the system will make the selection on your behalf: Option 1."

"Please host, within six hours, get the palace-made silk tapestry fan as a reward from the previous mission."

Correspondingly, a three-dimensional fan image unfolded in front of Luo Qianhuai's eyes. The fan at the bottom of Xiangfei is woven with several branches of white magnolia in bud. The thin bamboo handles below show a light golden color, with red threads looming in the middle. The fan pendant is a piece of extremely warm white jade carved into the shape of a magnolia flower. The calyx is a light to dark sugar color with a hint of bright red in between.

"Wait a minute!" Luo Qianhuai frowned and said, "You haven't told the system before that there is a time limit for this choice? And is that fan still specific? Can't I just choose a tapestry fan?"

"Although this system has not said it, the host has not asked, otherwise this system will definitely answer truthfully. In addition, most of the various rewards arranged by this system are unique, except for money."

Luo Qianhuai's heart was filled with a sigh of relief. Okay, if you are angry with an existence like the system that has no lower limit every day, you will not be able to survive.

Plan one is plan one, do your best in personnel and affairs and let fate dictate, or in the worst case, mess it up and get punished.

"System, are you able to locate the fan now? If so, please send me the location and path."

"The wish has been received and positioning has begun. The target object has stopped moving and the positioning has been successful. We are working hard to calculate the shortcut according to the host's needs..."

"Ding! The shortcut calculation was successful!" A 3D real-life map slowly unfolded in front of Luo Qianhuai's eyes.

The fan is located about two kilometers due north of Xijing, in a large three-story merchant ship under the Zhongwei Bridge connecting the north and south banks of the Wei River.

The system thoughtfully provided a diagram of the merchant ship's internal structure, indicating that the fan was in the storage room below the deck.

Changling City is only twenty kilometers away from Chang'an, and there are smooth official roads in the middle. Luo Qianhuai has traveled through it many times by carriage, and the journey is only less than half an hour at most.

It was better than she had expected, at least there was still time to operate.

After thinking about it, she put on a dark cyan dress and a thin black cloak, and turned out her night clothes and mask in case of emergency.

After doing all this, Luo Qianhuai called Xingxuan in and asked her how much gold she had.

"This month's dividend has not yet been delivered, but there are three hundred and fifty-six gold cakes left in the hall." Xingxuan remembered it clearly.

Luo Qianhuai nodded and ordered: "Take three hundred cakes of gold, and then go to Zhu Niang to borrow a carriage. If you want a good horse, the faster the better."

Ever since the imperial edict granting marriage came down, Xingxuan had always served her with trepidation, fearing that Luo Qianhuai would blame him. Now that he saw that she had made arrangements, he immediately agreed without even daring to ask for a reason.

Within a quarter of an hour, the carriage and gold were ready. Luo Qianhuai took Xingxuan into the car and headed all the way to Zhongwei Bridge.

The Zhongwei Bridge connects the north and south of the Wei River, with a total length of nearly a kilometer. From a distance, it looks like a long dragon lying across the river.

Two hundred meters away under the bridge is Anbo Ferry, which is also the largest ferry in the entire Xianyang Plain area.

When the carriage arrived, it was already midnight, and the mission countdown hanging on the upper left side of Luo Qianhuai's field of vision had 10 hours and 23 minutes left.

This time is enough anyway.

Luo Qianhuai breathed a sigh of relief. Her idea is very simple. She is determined not to use the system's methods of extortion and robbery, and only relies on normal communication between people to obtain ownership of the fan.

The simplest way is to lay out the carriages and horses and pay for them directly.

If the other party is reluctant to sell it, she can even pay a lot of money just to hold it in her hands and play with it for a while.

I handed over the task by the way.

Anyway, the system has never cared about the ownership of the rewards after they are withdrawn, so if you mess around like this, you should be able to pass the test.

So there is only one thing left to do now, find the ship, build some friendship with the owner, and then make a request in a logical manner.

Luo Qianhuai raised the car curtain and looked at the brightly lit Anbodu, feeling that this matter shouldn't be that difficult.

The ship was a merchant ship, and merchants always liked to be sociable, and few had a surly personality.

As long as the price is right, the other party has no reason not to agree.
