Journey to the Ancient Vending Machine

After dying in a car accident, Sheng Jun travels back to ancient times with a supermarket management system.

She initially thought she was supposed to open a supermarket in the ancient world, but unexpectedly, she became the supermarket herself. Oh, wait, that’s not right—she’s not even a full supermarket yet, just a plain and ordinary vending machine.

To return home, she must continually sell products, earn money, and accumulate points, gradually upgrading from a vending machine to a large supermarket.

So the question is: how does she sell her first pack of instant noodles in the deep mountains of ancient times?

During a time of chaos and famine, the villagers of Stone Village, hiding in the deep mountains, discover a strange, square creature.

The creature has a transparent belly filled with many items and makes noises, but it doesn’t move or eat people. The villagers quickly get used to its presence.

Life in the deep mountains is tough, and one day, in desperation from hunger, a villager mistakenly uses a copper coin to offer to the square creature for food and receives two packs of dried noodles. The noodles are incredible; just boiling them turns them into a steaming, fragrant bowl of noodles!

The news that the square creature can provide food spreads quickly, and the villagers are ecstatic! What they thought was a square monster turns out to be a square deity!

Everyone finds ways to offer tributes to the square deity, and life in the barren mountains becomes worry-free with plenty of food and drink.

Gradually, the square deity’s offerings increase. A scholar from a neighboring village recognizes the words on the packaging: milk, soy milk, potato chips, bread, instant porridge, self-heating hotpot… and boxed meals full of meat, snow-white rice, ready to eat hot!

Buying a portion and tasting it makes everyone feel enchanted; they all say the food of the deities is no different!

Later, the square deity transforms into a small house with an even greater variety of goods: sturdy pots, pans, and bowls, warm blankets, books teaching various skills…

To live the happy life described in the books, the villagers decide to work hard to learn to read and write, allowing the merchant caravans to bring the square deity’s treasures to the entire country and build a great kingdom of abundance!
