Dream Delivery System: My Delivery Jobs Keep Changing History – CH137

Chapter 137

Ye’s daughter did not, like Ye, feel the call of the “distant world” and become a restless, flightless wanderer. Yet she was captivated by the drawings on the parchment and the vivid mineral pigments.

She studied colored minerals, turned them into pigments, and left nearly three hundred paintings in caves and elsewhere.

Over two hundred of these depicted her daily life, while several dozen recorded the worlds her father had seen.

Thus, later generations in the Rouge World saw these strange images. The sea and deserts appeared on a single wall. They realized that even among primitive humans, some measured the world with their feet. Though they did not know the artist was “Ye,” the title of history’s first traveler was unavoidable.

This achievement even made the trending news, leaving overworked office workers of later eras sobbing at their desks: primitive humans could travel freely, while they were bound to their four corners.

Thanks to these paintings, later generations could study everyday life, festivals, food, clothing, and major events of her time. She became a historian of the ancient era.

Because these paintings had a major impact on later archaeology, Jiang Jitang, who indirectly made this achievement possible, earned wish star rewards.

Next came the otter tribe’s meat soup task, which received five-star ratings. There were no wish stars, but small gifts were given.

No wish stars were awarded because, in the long course of history, this otter tribe was just one of countless nameless tribes. This did not mean Jiang Jitang’s efforts were meaningless.

His help allowed many elders, in the final stage of their lives with missing teeth, to enjoy fresh food, and also provided the tribe with more provisions.

The tribe’s life and death might not have changed, but the process did. Perhaps historically insignificant, yet immensely meaningful for the otter tribe beneficiaries.

For this reason, they sent the divine messenger a precious gift as thanks—a clay figurine.

“This is a precious clay figure made in your likeness, with glaze discovered by them.”

Jiang Jitang hesitated, looking at the smiling clay figure with a big belly, long neck, and an otter tail dragging behind: “What image of me do they see?”

“Divine Messenger, it had to be a little different from the ordinary.”

“Alright.” After staring at it for a while, he found the figure oddly cute in its clumsiness. Jiang Jitang carefully stored it, planning to place it on a shelf when he returned.

Now, only one final task remained—both a wish star and a small gift.

It was the follow-up to the rabbit tribe’s Feng task. Thanks to Jiang Jitang’s efforts, the powerful cattle tribe merged with the rabbit tribe, forming the first mixed tribe on the plains, later joined by other small herbivore tribes. Similarly, the lion tribe also merged with smaller carnivore tribes, creating the two strongest mixed tribes on the plains.

Yet the wish star was not for facilitating these tribal mergers. It was because Feng was the first to propose and implement livestock breed improvement, becoming the plains’ master of animal husbandry.

Of course, the cattle and sheep Jiang Jitang sent also contributed significantly.

His achievements would be remembered in later generations, even in the form of myths.

In the original fate timeline, even if Feng remained Feng, he would not have had the opportunity or prestige to do these things. When he “married into” the cattle tribe, he brought nothing to help him gain influence and borrowed a batch of grain.

However, the grain was insufficient for the rabbit tribe’s survival. A few years later, the tribe dwindled to a few hundred, merging with the cattle tribe as second-class members.

“Feng might not know his original fate, but he sincerely expressed gratitude to you, offering ten pairs of improved Small-Tailed Han sheep as a gift.”

Perhaps worried Jiang Jitang would not appreciate them, the system added: “These improved Small-Tailed Han sheep carry ferocious beast bloodlines. The meat is delicious, rich in trace elements, and long-term consumption is beneficial to the body.”

Jiang Jitang’s eyes lit up. “Breeding sheep? We can raise them here?” Feng’s breed improvements even carried ferocious beast bloodlines? Incredible.

Fully aware of the system’s clarification, Jiang Jitang’s sleepiness vanished. He stood and walked several rounds, holding the communication wristband. The value of these ten pairs of breeding sheep far exceeded that of the 300-year-old nanmu tree, but without knowing the exact effect of the meat, it was difficult to predict the impact.

“Perhaps a new high-priced gourmet ingredient will appear in C-Nation.” As long as it wasn’t “stolen.”

He decided to inform Mr. Tao and hoped to entrust the breeding sheep to a trustworthy expert team. In the silent wars over ingredients, after losing money on foreign breed stock for years, Mr. Tao should know far more.

“Is this the ingredient for the recent special-effect food?” Mr. Tao immediately knew. He had suppressed the matter, so no one else knew.

“Yes, but the special-effect food only benefits players, whereas these… are not limited to any group. Of course, they are not miraculous, consider them living health supplements.”

Health supplements—so they weren’t as shocking as the special-effect food.

Good, good—less conspicuous.

Mr. Tao in the capital finally smiled: “Not just health supplements? How many real things are in health supplements? I’ll arrange to pick them up.”

“Oh, and there’s a 300-year-old live Golden Silk Nanmu tree. Since plants have regional differences, hand it to the experts as well.” Jiang Jitang didn’t recall the dozen other century-old trees he got for free, only the nanmu.

Was he no longer hiding that he obtained these from “another world”?

“Such great things, and you just gave them away?” Mr. Tao wondered. How could someone so young have no desire for material gain?

“Too flashy in gold.”

“If you announce it, everyone will wave money at you.”

“I don’t love money, just remember to collect it.”

Mr. Tao looked at the ended call and wanted to laugh, suddenly remembering Jiang Jitang’s month-long legal income… He really wasn’t short of money.

Over the next few days, Jiang Jitang visited all cities on the edge of the East District. He only returned to Jin City the day before the next task.

But the shop upgrade arrived slightly earlier than the task.

Given his recent increase in special-effect food supply and trades from Magical Beast Peach Blossom Land, the upgrade was natural.

[Upgrade conditions met, Dream-Fulfillment Food House (Main Store) upgrading. Upgrade complete.]

[Dream-Fulfillment Food House (Main Store): Level 3, a]rea 36 sq.m, includes “kitchen” function, six level-1 street stalls (two upgraded to level-2).

[Equipment: six quality vending machines, two ordinary takeaway cabinets, two small welfare windows, one Magical Beast Peach Blossom Land doll rack.

Street stalls: two level-2 with two quality self-service vending machines each; four level-1 without equipment.

Shop includes level-3 protection, alarm system, and blacklist interception.

Business hours: 6 a.m.–9 p.m.

Magical Beast Peach Blossom Land (Branch): Level 3, area 36 sq.m, can place two doll racks from the main store.

Equipment: two basic tables/chairs, two service robots, one level-1 dust removal spring.

Shop includes level-3 protection, alarm, and blacklist system.

Business hours: 24/7.

Jiang Jitang used a store expansion card. Both main and branch stores increased to 36 + 100 sq.m, with the note: “Additional area fixed, not increased with level.”

Fixed area—if only he’d used it sooner.

Area increased by 100 sq.m, points accumulated over a million.

He looked at the virtual model: two squares combined, one 36 sq.m (6 m frontage), one 100 sq.m (10 × 10 m). A 4 m gap allowed passage between them.

In addition to vending machines, takeaway cabinets, and welfare windows, new options appeared: “integrated kitchen” and “candy machine.”

“Time for a full upgrade.” Previously small-scale, today he went big.

Integrated kitchen: robotic chefs cook dishes based on player-provided ingredients, with effects. Star rating indicates max culinary performance, influenced by ingredient quality.

This kitchen would greatly alleviate player demand and his ingredient consumption speed.

He chose continuous upgrades:
Level 1, 4 sq.m, basic tools, one 1-star robot, 1,000 points.
Level 2, 12 sq.m, full tools, two 2-star robots, 10,000 points.
Level 3, 36 sq.m, quality tools, six 3-star robots, 100,000 points.

Level-3 kitchen: 6×6 m square, H-shaped internal layout, mechanical cooking stations, six robots waiting.

One side: marble counter for cooked special-effect dishes, with LCD showing waiting time or order status.

Processing fees: 1-star 30, 2-star 50, 3-star 80.

Three rows of benches placed opposite kitchen for players.

The shop could now operate for 15 hours with real service, not just empty vending machines.

Next to the kitchen: 4×6 m rectangular area for welfare windows, upgraded to medium level: sells half-price products, auto-check eligibility, upgrade 10,000 points.

Two windows occupied 4 m wall.

Six quality vending machines on 10 m wall.

He didn’t add new machines; daily supply was enough for nearby player organizations. Remaining need: casual social players.

He bought two ordinary takeaway cabinets, upgraded all to quality takeaway cabinets.

Quality takeaway cabinet: Starlight silver, 36 slots, 10 items max per slot, network order, 12-hour pickup, updated daily, upgrade 100,000 points.

Placed in the space between vending machines and welfare windows. Remaining 3 m wall: five 1-star candy machines.

Candy machine: automatically makes/sells candy. Supplements energy and mental value, effects depend on materials, type, and machine level. 1-star: one candy type, 100 kg max, cost 1,000 points, upgrade 1,000 points.

All equipment moved to large space. He used points to decorate, added previous warehouse decorations.

Outside 36 sq.m small space: two doll racks remain for player queues. Future branches would add more.

He considered whether to bind a task world with rich resources and ferocious beasts as top-tier ingredients.

Finally, four more stalls added. After consulting Mr. Tao about player distribution and resource priority, stalls were placed in border areas—northmost and westmost.

East District social players stabilized under his influence, but other areas still made noise.

Border first, then central. Rural first, then urban. Lay out benefits clearly; players will choose.

Jiang Jitang, now wealthy, upgraded all six stalls to level 3. Originally intended to buy vending machines for upgrade—turns out level-3 stalls could have mini kitchens.

“Good.” No need to buy ingredients; local players could enjoy their favorite food.

Mini kitchen: 1-star, 2 sq.m, robot, cooks simple 1-star special-effect dishes. Cost 1,000 points.

He equipped all stalls with 1-star mini kitchens, then upgraded all to 3-star.

3-star mini kitchen: 18 sq.m, three robots, cooks 3-star or below special-effect dishes, quality depends on ingredients. Upgrade: 100,000 points.

Because stalls were remote, customers likely casual local players with limited funds; set price: 10 yuan.

Two remaining equipment slots: two quality vending machines. Food distributed by local authorities for registered players and organizations.

Buy and upgrade what’s needed; afterward, Jiang Jitang looked at his six-figure points balance: …poor.

Equipment upgrades cost up to 100,000 points each, and he needed to save for Magical Beast Peach Blossom Land.

He turned his attention to the branch, Magical Beast Peach Blossom Land.

Outside, effects of the upgraded store were already visible.
