My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 490: The Money-for-Everything Trading System

Just as Zhang Lei was in a daze, a familiar system notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

Ding! System upgrade complete. The system has been upgraded to the Money and Everything Trading System.

Upon hearing the system's voice, Zhang Lei was taken aback at first, then quickly flashed into his personal space and hurriedly asked, "System, you've finally completed your upgrade! Tell me quickly, what is the 'Money for Everything Trading System'?"

The system responded with a "ding": The Money and Everything Trading System is divided into two parts. In the first part, the host can use money to purchase everything in the system's shop; in the second part, everything in the world can be sold to the system by the host in exchange for money.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei was completely stunned, then became excited: "This, this, this is too amazing!"

He quickly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "System, did you give me any reward for this upgrade?"

System: Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received an upgrade gift pack. Do you want to open it?

Zhang Lei immediately replied, "Open it!"

System: Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Eye of Truth.

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Hand of God.

Upon hearing about these two abilities, Zhang Lei immediately began to examine them carefully.

The Eye of Truth can observe the loyalty of any person or thing.

The Hand of God can remove anything from any living thing, but only if the owner's consent is obtained.

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Lei understood that the first ability was for his own use, while the second was given to him to facilitate the system's recycling of all things.

He couldn't help but complain, "System, the second ability you gave me, is it for your benefit? What good is it to me?"

System: Ding! The system is recycling everything. The host will receive a monetary reward equal to 10% of the value of the recycled items.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei immediately understood. In other words, as long as he recycled the items into the system, he could receive an additional 10% reward on top of the items' intrinsic value.

At this moment, Zhang Lei remembered the antiques in his space, picked up a Qing Dynasty porcelain vase, and said, "System, recycle."

System: Ding! A porcelain vase from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty has been recovered, valued at $500. The host has received a reward of $50, for a total of $550, which has been distributed.

Zhang Lei stared at the $550 in his hand and immediately flew into a rage: "System, are you kidding me? This is an antique, and it's only worth this little bit of money?"

System: Ding, the system estimates the value of the item based on the current era.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei instantly regretted his decision. He hadn't expected the system to value the antiques based on the present era, rather than their future astronomical value. His plan to cash in on the antiques early seemed doomed.

He then asked, "System, how much would it cost to buy this porcelain vase back now?"

System: Ding, host, you need to purchase a porcelain vase from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty for $1500. Do you wish to purchase it?

Zhang Lei's eyes widened instantly: "What? That's so expensive? You only get $500 for recycling, but I have to pay $1500 to buy it?"

System: Ding, this system does not engage in unprofitable transactions.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei immediately cursed the system in his mind as a swindler.

After Zhang Lei fully understood his two abilities, he began to check out the system store.

The panel clearly displays: Everything Trading System, Level 1.

Upon seeing the levels, Zhang Lei's heart stirred. If there was a level one, there must also be a level two, a level three, and so on.

He continued browsing through the various items on the trading panel, becoming dazzled by the sheer variety.
