Chapter-6: Jack of all trades
So she can only do this to take the things. She hid the things she liked and started to cook food with available spices at the house. The heroine would take at least 1 and half hour before returning as she has to register Shen Nuwu and also sell her job.
Shen Nuwu completed cooking and started to eat very happily. She stored the food in her space without any problem because this space can keep things fresh for a long time. It is not that the time is stagnant in the space ring. It just flowed very slowly.
If it is time stagnant then the ones that hide things would have hidden pills to improve cultivation instead of just storing low grade spirit stones. Those 40 cases inside are all low grade spirit stones.
Each case contains one hundred thousand low grade spirit stones which is 4 million low grade spirit stones. The low grade spirit stones looked like fish eggs or small marble balls without anything inside. They are mined like this
Middle grade ones are also circular but they have a cube like thing inside the sphere. The original owner did not see high grade spirit stones and she don't know about them. So Shen Nuwu also doesn't know.
What Shen Nuwu knows is that the money or paper currency of this world would lose its value but gold and silver still has value. Those relics like paintings and other things did not have value but old books related to philosophy, medicine and few other things as value.
These things related to other countries are also equally valuable. There are always new angles in medicine and understanding of the world. So these books retained their value while some paintings, sculptures, inscriptions still retained their value.
But they have to be taken out later when the time is right instead of too early to get caught by the stupid people of the invading cultivator's country. She has to gain some foot hold and auction them off secretly.
While thinking she completed cooking. Even though it is not on the same level as some super chef master she is still very good at cooking. As her motive says, she is knowledgeable in many but master of none. As long as she keeps working she can master them as well.
Fortunately it did not become her entry blocking her path to mastering things. Right when she was thinking the system gave a prompt.
"Tring
Congratulations host you gained new entry "Jack of all trades"
........."
Shen Nuwu: ...…Speechless...….. ....Angry…
............….
Entry: Jack of all trades (White)
Description: Jack of all trades master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.
.........….
But after reading the description she calmed down because it says that she is better than a master of one. Any way that is her nature and she might as well get an entry to improve her capabilities in the future.
She quickly completed eating and took away packed spices that are still at home that the heroine did not see. Usually the one that cooks at home is heroine. Originally she was also part of it in cooking.
But now she is no longer a part of it because she is beautiful and her adoptive parents wanted to marry her off to some old man Ma that is over 30 years older than her. Also he is an abusive type that got his first wife ran away because of his nature.
No parent, that love their children or at least love children would not let their daughter marry such a person. But the Shen family people can do that. Shen Nuwu was angry at this moment and wanted to use her special way of fighting to cause harm to them invisibly.
Yes when she beats people she would not leave any visible injuries but the pain would come from muscles and ligaments. When she hits she would drag it in a way that the muscle and ligament would have tiny tears in them.
Also when she punches a bone she would specifically move her hand in a way to create hairline fractures. Usually this kind of things cannot be diagnosed directly. They need to be scanned to have clear picture.
Also the pain would not be too severe or too mild. It would not go away and it would not let them faint. The money required for treatment for this kind of thing in this era is high and the family would be reluctant to spend.
It is a life time of pain that would not leave them until death. If that injury did not just happen at one place but all over the body, how painful that person would be. That is what Shen Nuwu is planning to do. But she would not touch the heroine.
This is because touching heroine is no different than putting her fingers in a power socket trying to feel current. The luck around the protagonist is a dangerous thing. Like the warning boards around a transformed there should be warning boards around the protagonists.
"High voltage, do not touch…"
"High luck, do not touch…"
She chose this way of fighting because she did not have enough strength right now. If she has strength she would not have been so passive to cause small damages she would directly break their bones to make them disabled permanently.
Naturally it is not the modern time and many of the broken limbs cannot be reconnected. Even if there is technology the chance of success is low and the cost of treatment is very high. Unfortunately she is not strong enough.
The food she cooked is not something bland she ate with great relish as she used the meat and other things present to cook really well. It is rice with meat cubes that are carefully boiled and fried in ginger and garlic paste with many spices and lard.
To make it better she added mashed potato and onions to make gravy and carefully boiled the meat cubes in it in low flame.
