Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

The system did not fight back this time, but continued to analyze seriously:

"I'll check the background of this world, but I'll deduct the money from you. Without the money, I can't open it. I always feel like something is a little off."

Ting He was quite generous on key matters and nodded to let him go and see.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the system came back with a gasp, and it started with a critical attack:

"Three things. The prince either has a Nanjiang Gu worm in his body, or it's a disguised system. That Tong'er is the daughter of the eldest son of the Zhenguo Duke, but her mother is the Saint of Nanjiang. And the original owner's father is not only a businessman, but also a descendant of Loulan."

Ting He was completely confused:

"What the hell is this? The original owner's father is a descendant of Loulan. This world not only has Nanjiang Gu worms, but also something that looks like a system? What about the original owner? Isn't it just a story of mistaking someone for someone else, and then being sold to a brothel? Why is the background so complicated, and the plot is such a mess?"

The system shook its head and said with a frown:

"I thought that becoming a prostitute was the most tragic thing for you, but I didn't expect to encounter such a messed up world. It's really heartbreaking to think about it, but where is the entry point? How to do this mission? I still need to think carefully about it."

After the system finished speaking, it fled, leaving Tinghe alone standing there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.

After carefully studying the plot and forcing all the clues together, Ting He got the following pieced-together plot.

Suppose that the descendants of Loulan Kingdom have a treasure map and it is discovered by someone with ulterior motives. The characters that person with ulterior motives will tentatively be divided into three groups. The first is the descendant of southern Xinjiang, the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo, the second is the family of Prince Qi including the prince, and then the aunt of the original owner's father.

But the aunt might not have such a plan, and the original owner's father was a descendant of Loulan, so what about the old lady? She was so old, she must know whether Loulan had treasures or not. If so, she would not have time to hide her identity, so how could she let a maid with ulterior motives serve beside her?

Besides, the descendants of Nanjiang are famous for their witchcraft. If there is a poisonous insect in the prince's body, does Tong'er know about it? What about the prince's two personalities and different appearances?

Assuming that the Prince of Qi and the Duke of Zhenguo were the same group of people, were they also plotting to obtain the treasure of Loulan? If so, what was the key to unlock the treasure, and who used Wang Sheng's name to trick the original owner, defrauding her of her money and selling her to this remote place?

She could understand killing her, but luring her out and selling her would only damage her reputation and would not affect the Loulan treasure, right? Was it to confuse the original owner's father? No, something was definitely wrong.

Thinking of this, Ting He called up the system again and asked:

"Send me a copy of the story after the original owner's death."

The system says:

"It's been said that after you hanged yourself, the brothel owner buried you at the foot of the mountain in the northwest."

Ting He shook his head and said:

"That's not it. Tell me, after the original owner died, what happened to the original owner's father? What happened to the Prince Qi's Mansion? What about the Zhenguogong Mansion? What about the world situation? Has the Loulan treasure been found?"

The system responded for a while before asking:

"How do you know there is a treasure in Loulan? But it's quite strange. There is basically no plot after you hanged yourself. I also spent money to look up the background of the world, so I found so little. I can't see anything else. It only said that after you were not found for a long time, the original owner's father sent people to look for you, and then a nobleman in Shengjing wanted to buy the formula of brocade yarn. After being rejected by the original owner's father, not long after, the Yan family collapsed, your father also disappeared, and there is nothing else."

Ting He thought for a while and asked, "Jinsha? Is it the gauze invented by the original owner's father and sent to the palace?"

The system nodded:

"Yes, it is because of Jinsha that the Yan family became the new imperial merchant."

Ting He nodded and asked her own question:

"That's not right. It doesn't make sense. If someone in the palace wants the formula for brocade yarn and daddy doesn't want to sell it, at most they can take the formula away or restrict him from selling it. At worst they can imprison daddy and make him only make brocade yarn for people. But the problem is that the original owner has seen the brocade yarn and worn it. Apart from reflecting light in the sun, there's nothing special about it. No matter how much the nobles in the palace like it, they won't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs."

"By the way, did you mention where the old lady went?"

The system shook its head: "No, it only said that after the Yan family fell, the original owner's father disappeared without any trace. As for Jinsha, it is estimated that the formula was not obtained, because no one will make this later."

Ting He shook his head: "It's not right. If the nobleman didn't steal the silk because he liked it, then why? Dad is missing, and the probability of him being imprisoned is 0. He probably ran away or died. If he is still alive and imprisoned, wouldn't that mean there will be an endless supply of silk?"

The system also thought it made sense and nodded frantically.

Finally, Ting He made the final decision:

"I think the breakthrough lies in the prince. As long as we find out whether he has a dual personality or two souls in one body, can't we open a gap and investigate slowly?"

The system nodded, and once again felt that it made sense, and then it continued:

"That makes sense, but Tong'er's mother is the Saint of Southern Border. She can play with insects. Aren't you afraid? What if Tong'er can do it too? Wouldn't you be eaten by insects? How about this, there are books about poisonous insects in the mall. You can buy one and learn from them. Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle."

Ting He's eyes widened, and he also felt that it made a lot of sense, and then he praised the system:

"You are so awesome, you have everything. Let me see. If I am eager to learn, I can learn it in minutes."

As soon as she opened the book and saw the price, Ting He's hands were shaking, because it showed at the back that five million taels of silver was more expensive than the three million taels of silver book on the martial arts she bought. After she bought the martial arts book, the system told her that it was for cultivation and could not be used in a world without spiritual energy.

Bah, if I don’t buy it, anyone who does is a fool.

However, after the system's constant persuasion and the discounted gifts, Ting He was tempted. The most important thing was that there was no money to be paid on credit, and the system would only deduct the fee after the task was completed.

A book on the secrets of using poisonous insects was bought, a poisonous king as white and tender as a silkworm was given as a gift, and an halo for detecting the fluctuations of poisonous insects was given by the system for free. One million taels were exchanged for these.

Hearing He whimpering, I almost cried. It’s too expensive. Damn it, I can’t afford it.

She was spending money so fast that it couldn't keep up with the speed at which she earned it. Ting He looked at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry on the bed, and her mind finally settled a little.
