"You're really amazing, Niannian."
Yu Sheng didn't hesitate to shower his praise on her, and it was all from the bottom of his heart.
He truly marveled at the fact that Niannian, at just six years old, had earned so much money. She was easily outshining most people in the world.
But as much as he wanted to praise her, he didn't forget to probe.
Yu Sheng quickly put on a pitiful look and asked, "Niannian, are you giving all this money to big brother?"
"Uh-huh!"
Although Niannian loved making money, she wasn't a miser.
Since she had taken it out, it was for her second brother.
She nodded cheerfully.
"But with this much money, you could buy a lot of computers and phones, and there would be a lot left over. Can big brother spend the rest?"
Yu Sheng was just teasing the little girl.
No matter how capable Niannian was, he wouldn't be so shameless as to ask his own sister for money.
"Is second brother really short of money?"
"Yeah, I want to buy a lot of things, but Mom and Dad won't give me that much pocket money. Sigh... Second brother is so pitiful..."
Maybe his act was too convincing, because Niannian really believed him.
She lowered her head and rummaged through her little satchel again. Then, stack after stack of money was taken out and spread out on the table.
The sight was quite spectacular.
Yu Sheng's eyes widened and his mouth fell open involuntarily.
He grabbed Niannian's wrist in a flurry and quickly interrupted her. "Stop, stop! That's enough, enough... Your second brother has plenty of money. I was just joking with you!"
Niannian finally stopped and blinked her eyes twice.
Yu Sheng let out a long sigh. He picked up the money on the table and started stuffing it back into Niannian's little satchel bit by bit.
"You... Don't you know not to show off your wealth? Don't do this again. Do you still not really understand the concept of money?"
Yu Sheng had a smart head, and he quickly figured out why Niannian was acting like this.
The little girl nodded repeatedly. She really didn't understand.
The thing was, up until now, except for that one time when the babysitter deliberately didn't give her food, there had been no need for her to spend money.
Especially after she met up with her senior brothers, there was even less need for her to spend money.
Whenever they went out, it was always the third senior brother who made the arrangements and took care of everything.
At home, all she had to do was tell her dad what she wanted to eat, play, or do, and it would be brought to her.
As for other expensive things, she didn't want to trouble her parents.
For example, she wanted to build a Taoist temple.
So far, the little girl didn't even know how much a normal bowl of noodles should cost.
"Sigh, I'm really speechless. When I'm free someday, I'll take you to the mall and let you go out and have a look. Then you should get the concept. Don't just stay at home all day, either drawing talismans or doing divination. You'll turn into a dull kid."
"But I like drawing talismans and doing divination at home."
Those were basic skills and daily tasks. As an ambitious little girl, Niannian preferred to stay at home and do more practice rather than go out and have fun.
Her master had said that only those who endured hardship could become outstanding.
In every profession, it took ten years of hard work off - stage for one minute of brilliance on - stage.
Especially in their line of work.
If they didn't practice hard on a daily basis, when real danger came, if they didn't know anything, they might even lose their lives.
If their skills in fortune - telling and divination weren't up to par and they were lazy on a daily basis, then when the time came to use them, a single wrong word might change someone's life.
"I'm not saying you have to go out and have fun every day. Just take one day off occasionally."
Yu Sheng was a bit helpless. If she kept staying at home like this, the little girl would turn into a homebody.
"By the way, I've always wanted to ask. What material is this satchel made of? Why can it hold so many things?"
Yu Sheng had been curious about this little satchel that Niannian carried with her all the time for a long time.
It was like a bottomless pit.
"Ah, this is the Qiankun Bag passed down in my master's family. I don't know exactly how much space it has, but it contains all the possessions of the Taoist temple, and there's still quite a bit of space left."
"Oh, isn't it difficult to find things in it?"
Yu Sheng was curious. With so many things piled up together, how did Niannian always manage to find exactly what she wanted?
"It's not difficult. My senior brothers and master have helped me organize everything inside. The things I use often are on top. For the things I don't use often, I can just take everything out and look for them when I need them."
"Can this thing be made? Do you know how to make it?"
Yu Sheng was really envious of this little satchel. He liked traveling, but every time he packed his luggage, he had a hard time deciding what to take.
He wanted this and that.
He always felt that no matter how much he took, it wasn't enough.
If he had something like this, he could just carry one bag with him and take as much as he wanted.
That would be great.
Niannian tilted her head and thought for a while. She really had never studied this before. After all, the materials needed to make this thing were quite precious.
They were so poor that it was already good to have this ancestral one.
Where would they get the materials for her to waste on research?
However...
"I don't know how to make it, but if second brother wants something similar, I have this."
Niannian took out a talisman from her bag.
Pointing at the talisman, she explained, "This is called the Shrinking Talisman. If you stick it on an item, the item will shrink. If you tear it off, it will return to its original size. The things in a big suitcase can be shrunk to about the size of a book, and it will also become lighter. It's quite convenient. If second brother wants it, I can give you a lot."
When Yu Sheng heard about the function of the talisman, his eyes lit up immediately.
Wasn't this exactly what he needed?
The exams were coming up in a while. After the exams, he planned to go on a trip with his friends.
He was going to be away for a month, and he was worried that he had too much luggage to carry.
Originally, he was thinking of either not taking anything at all and just bringing some equipment like a camera.
He would buy the rest of the daily necessities when he got there.
If he had this, it would be much easier!
"That's really great! Sister, can you give me a few more? I might need quite a lot."
Yu Sheng scratched his head a bit sheepishly.
In the end, he still had to ask his sister for something.
"Of course I can!"
Niannian was very happy that the strange talismans she had developed could be useful. Without hesitation, she stuffed them into Yu Sheng's hands.
"Second brother, this thing can only be stuck on inanimate objects. You can't stick it on living animals. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen."
Niannian remembered the instability of this talisman and quickly reminded him.
But Yu Sheng just looked non -chalant.
"Got it. I'm not that stupid."
