I Got Rich in the Famine by Collecting Shock Points

share time: 2026-01-26 06:22:06

In a famine where corpses littered the fields, Lin Xiaoman was dying with her last handful of bran when she activated the "All-People Shock System"—she could exchange others' shocked expressions for food, herbs, or even silver. She fried "exploding flowers" (popcorn) with stove ash, stunning the whole village to get three dou of rice; she made a "self-watering bag" (simple drip irrigation) with rags, shocking the landlord's steward into giving ten taels of silver. But just as she got rich from her "shock tricks", the down-and-out scholar Gu Zhao called her "evil" and threatened to report her. Worse, the system suddenly ordered her to make the entire county "collectively shocked"—otherwise, all exchanged items would be reclaimed! Lin Xiaoman had to plan a "big move", but Gu Zhao followed to expose her. In their cat-and-mouse game, they unexpectedly uncovered the corruption secret behind the famine?
