Shen Qingyao checked the requirements for upgrading her shelter:
【Wood ×10,000, Stone ×10,000, Shelter Heart ×1, Iron ×100, Copper ×100, Glass ×100】
She was only a little short of copper and glass!
She quickly put up a batch of lettuce on the trading market, setting the required trade materials as copper and glass. In less than five minutes, she had collected everything she needed!
“Ding! Host, are you sure you want to upgrade your shelter to Level 4?”
“Confirm!”
“Congratulations, Host! You have successfully upgraded your shelter to Level 4!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have become the first survivor to upgrade their shelter to Level 4! You have received a Golden Treasure Chest as a reward! A system-wide announcement will also be made. Would you like to reveal your name? Friendly reminder: Revealing your name can earn you Prestige!”
“No!”
So after the beginner protection period ended, there were system-wide announcements now?
But she was socially anxious. There was absolutely no way she would agree to have her name broadcast throughout the entire system!
As for Prestige?
Based on her gaming experience, it was probably something needed to form a team later on.
And she didn’t need a team!
The only thing she was interested in was that Golden Treasure Chest!
【Shelter Heart ×1, Random Seed Bag ×1, Fertilizer ×18, Spirit-Tier Hoe ×1, Basic Healing Potion ×6, Wood ×120, Stone ×230, Bathing Set ×1, Seasoning Gift Pack ×1, Glass ×22, Iron ×13, Copper ×23, Cotton Cloth ×4, Outdoor Jacket ×1, Power Card ×1】
A Spirit-Tier Hoe!
The thing she had been dreaming about had finally arrived!
From now on, did this mean she wouldn’t have to reclaim land one hoe-strike at a time?
She didn’t care about anything else. She immediately rushed outside, picked a patch of wasteland, and swung the hoe at it with all her might!
Her ideals were full, but reality was harsh!
The weeds and stones on the ground disappeared!
But the soil was still hard and compacted.
Clearly, she still had to use her stone pickaxe to turn the soil over again!
Shen Qingyao’s mouth twitched.
She returned to the house. The blazing sun was directly overhead now, and it definitely wasn’t a good time to work.
Then she turned around—
Her brick house had become a two-story building!
There were even a pair of auspicious beast-shaped door knockers on the front door.
She pushed the door open.
The first floor had become an open space combining the living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom.
The second floor contained her bedroom and workspace.
Even the workbench had been upgraded!
It had become an Intermediate Workbench!
Unfortunately, she didn’t have any intermediate blueprints yet.
Most importantly, the Level 4 shelter came with its own water and electricity system. She no longer had to fetch water every day. If she could get some pipes, she could even water her crops directly from a faucet!
The sun was still blazing outside, so she decided to submit today’s vegetables.
Mainly because her warehouse was almost full!
“Host, are you sure you want to submit Lettuce ×3,000 and Adzuki Beans ×10,000?”
“Confirm!”
“Please confirm the materialization location!”
Shen Qingyao still decided to use the same place as last time—the artificial lawn in Anyun County.
But…
If the adzuki beans fell into the artificial grass, wouldn’t they be impossible to pick up?
As she thought this, her finger had already clicked the confirmation button on its own!
By the time she realized what she had done, she felt a pang of guilt!
Sorry!
She really hadn’t done it on purpose!
Blue Star. Zhonghua. Anyun County.
At that moment, massive quantities of lettuce and adzuki beans poured down in two separate piles.
The situation Shen Qingyao had imagined—where the adzuki beans would fall into the artificial grass and become impossible to collect—didn’t happen.
Because after the lettuce and gray-green wild vegetables had appeared last time, the authorities had immediately taken action.
After working for an entire day and night, they had removed all the turf and quickly covered the area with tarpaulin.
So not a single adzuki bean would be lost!
“Congratulations, Host! You have received a ten-thousandfold return to Blue Star! You have taken first place on today’s points leaderboard!”
Thirty million heads of lettuce!
One hundred million adzuki beans!
It had to be said that the adzuki beans grown on the Wasteland Planet were noticeably larger than the wild ones on Blue Star.
Each bean was about the size of a soybean!
“There are even red beans!”
“Idiot! Those are adzuki beans!”
“Nonsense! Adzuki beans are much smaller. How could those possibly be adzuki beans?”
“I’m telling you, they’re adzuki beans! When I was young, I used to go out into the wild and look for them for fun!”
One of the two people arguing was already quite old.
But after saying that, he suddenly fell silent.
Yes…
When he was young, Blue Star had still been beautiful.
There had been abundant food everywhere, and birds had sung among fragrant flowers.
When had Blue Star become so barren that not even a blade of grass could grow?
The people of Zhonghua erupted into excitement!
“666 Boss is amazing! I’ll always worship you!”
“Oh my God! Ten thousand signatures! I’m begging 666 Boss to livestream!”
“666 Boss, what kind of person are you?”
“Tearing up! 666 Boss alone is supporting half of Zhonghua’s future!”
Online, speculation about the identity of 666 Boss was growing more and more intense.
The authorities were also investigating everyone connected to Hongshan Village, and they had already more or less narrowed down Shen Qingyao’s identity.
“Are you certain she’s an orphan? She doesn’t have a single relative left?”
The man behind the desk, dressed in an administrative jacket, removed his glasses and wiped them.
His subordinate respectfully replied:
“Yes! And she grew up relying on food from many different households, so that’s probably why she chose to give back to her village first!”
“She’s a good child who knows how to be grateful! Does she have any friends?”
The subordinate paused before answering:
“We found that she once had an ex-boyfriend. However, he was a rich second-generation heir, and he wasn’t sincere when he was with Miss Shen!”
“Apparently, he later married a wealthy heiress from a family of equal social standing. Because of this, Miss Shen was subjected to online harassment and may have even fallen into depression!”
The man sitting behind the desk paused as he wiped his glasses.
“Since that’s the case, investigate those two families! Also, thoroughly investigate the online harassment incident. Arrest whoever should be arrested, and punish whoever should be punished! Our hero should not be wronged!”
“Yes, sir!”
Shen Qingyao had no idea that her identity was already being exposed!
At that moment, she looked at her points, which were far ahead of second place, and smiled with satisfaction!
This was how it should be—stay in the lead all the way!
Only then could she survive.
Only then could she survive until the very end!
“666 Boss, this is absolutely insane! So much lettuce and so many adzuki beans! Did you rob a warehouse in another world?”
Li Hanyue took the initiative to message her.
At first, Shen Qingyao had thought Li Hanyue was a cool and aloof female powerhouse.
Who would have thought she was actually quite lively?
“No. I grew them myself.”
Shen Qingyao didn’t hide it.
“Amazing!”
The other woman sent her a thumbs-up emoji.
Wang Guodong also sent her a message:
“Do you still have vegetables?”
Shen Qingyao replied instantly:
“Yes! As much as you want!”
This big shot was her premium supplier of meat!
Right!
She had forgotten to send him a sample of the Basic Nutrient Solution too:
“【Basic Nutrient Solution】Take a look at this. Do you need it?”
She had figured it out—this guy was a battle maniac. The number of prey he brought in every day kept increasing, and today he had even submitted three pythons!
As expected, Wang Guodong recognized a good thing when he saw one:
“Yes! How many do you have? I’ll take them all!”
Shen Qingyao’s expression brightened.
“I can provide them long-term! But you’ll have to trade meat for them!”
She wasn’t lacking vegetables or grains. What she lacked was meat.
Even though she now possessed incredible physical strength, she still didn’t dare venture outside.
After all, she had no idea when that wolf pack might appear again!
Once they surrounded her, she would undoubtedly be dead!
