Day Five of the Wasteland Survival Game.
Shen Qingyao slowly woke up in the morning light.
She sat up and looked at her bloodstained body before heading to the bathroom to wash up.
After cleaning herself up, she leisurely gnawed on two tomatoes.
There was also a large pot of meat she had braised yesterday, and there was still plenty left. She ate it together with the tomatoes.
Only after finishing an entire basin of meat did she finally feel her spirits return.
She checked the injury on her leg.
Fortunately, she had been wearing her combat uniform yesterday, so the wound wasn’t serious.
She leisurely claimed the Golden Treasure Chest first:
【Random Seed Bag ×1, Fertilizer ×13, Wood ×110, Stone ×160, Glass ×32, Iron ×14, Copper ×26, Cotton Cloth ×3, Beehive ×1, Power Card ×1, Spirit-Tier Boots ×1, One-Minute Calling Card ×1】
Shen Qingyao first put on the pair of Spirit-Tier boots.
The boots were originally slightly too large for her, but once she put them on, they automatically shrank until they fit perfectly.
Then there was the calling card.
She had no idea what it was for.
“System, what is the calling card used for?”
“Host, you can use the calling card to contact the real world! This one allows you to talk for one minute.”
Contact the real world?
There was no one in the real world she wanted to contact anymore!
This card was useless to her!
So she decided to sell it.
She first asked Wang Guodong:
“【One-Minute Calling Card】It allows you to make a one-minute call to the real world. Do you need it?”
Since he was probably an official representative, he should need it, right?
What Shen Qingyao didn’t know was that Wang Guodong had already been unconscious for more than ten hours!
If not for the notification sound from Shen Qingyao’s message, he would still have been sleeping.
He sat up, gulped down a bottle of Basic Healing Potion, and then laughed softly.
“I didn’t die!”
The livestream comments were going crazy:
“Brother Dong! Brother Dong! Hurry! It’s already noon! If you don’t go back, you’re going to be roasted alive!”
“Brother Dong is freaking awesome! He killed the entire monkey pack by himself! Who else can do that?”
“My heart aches for Brother Dong. He slept outside for an entire night!”
“Yeah! I saw wild beasts approaching several times during the night. It scared me to death! I almost thought Brother Dong was going to get eaten while he was unconscious!”
“Terrifying! Thank goodness Brother Dong woke up in time!”
After Wang Guodong finished cleaning himself up, he opened the system.
Among the pile of messages, he discovered Shen Qingyao’s private message and immediately opened it.
“Yes! I’ll give you a Mortal-Tier Grade 6 Blackwind Donkey. How about it?”
“Deal!”
Shen Qingyao didn’t pay much attention to the price.
After all, they were old trading partners. Neither of them ever quibbled over the slightest gain or loss whenever they traded.
After exchanging the calling card, Shen Qingyao walked out of the house.
Seeing the ruined yard, she silently began cleaning it up.
Today, she could finally enclose yesterday’s newly reclaimed land within the fence.
She had even placed a trap outside the fence at regular intervals.
Today’s harvest wasn’t particularly large, but the corn was ready to harvest.
Thanks to the fertilizer, her cultivation speed had increased dramatically!
“Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Mortal-Tier Grade 2 Lettuce ×2,330!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Mortal-Tier Grade 3 Lettuce ×1,227!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Mortal-Tier Grade 3 Corn ×1,248!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Mortal-Tier Grade 3 Corn Seeds ×288!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Mortal-Tier Grade 4 Corn Seeds ×96!”
“…”
The system notifications rang out incessantly.
Shen Qingyao harvested a large amount of lettuce and corn, along with quite a few seeds.
Corn had a slightly higher starting point than lettuce. She was already obtaining Mortal-Tier Grade 4 seeds!
As for the lettuce, the rate at which the seed quality improved was gradually slowing down.
It seemed that Mortal-Tier Grade 5 was already its limit!
She continued laboriously digging up the land and reclaimed another two mu in front of the house, then planted lettuce there.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to plant other things.
It was just that, given the current situation, making sure the people of Blue Star had enough to eat was the most important thing!
And lettuce, with its incredibly fast growth rate, was her first choice!
She also planted some corn.
Mainly because it was a staple grain, had a high yield, and was another excellent food for filling people’s stomachs.
When people had no food, grains were more important than meat and vegetables.
After all, grains were much more filling!
They say that dragon meat comes from heaven, while donkey meat comes from the earth.
At noon, Shen Qingyao specially stewed a pot of donkey meat.
Sure enough, the aroma filled the air.
She broke off some tender corn and ate until her stomach was completely round.
“I just spoke to the real world. They asked me to pass a message to you!”
Wang Guodong sent her a private message.
“What message?”
“The Zhou Mingli and Xu Yiyi families committed serious offenses. They’re already being dealt with!”
Shen Qingyao froze!
The two families she had once believed were untouchable and far above her…
It turned out that in the face of absolute power, they were nothing more than paper tigers?
“There was something else. They told me to tell you not to worry. You don’t need to feel any psychological burden.”
Wang Guodong didn’t know what had happened to Shen Qingyao, but clearly, it hadn’t been anything good.
“Thank you!”
She hadn’t expected that this One-Minute Calling Card would bring her such wonderful news.
“Today is a good day. I’m treating you to some corn!”
Shen Qingyao traded him twenty ears of corn.
Wang Guodong was both amused and speechless.
“Thanks?”
“Don’t mention it!”
She had originally planned to submit the food later that evening, but since the authorities were being so supportive, she should return the favor!
“Host, are you sure you want to submit Mortal-Tier Grade 5 Green Wolves ×52?”
Out of the fifty-two Green Wolves, she had kept only five for herself to eat and submitted all the rest!
“Confirm!”
“Please confirm the material manifestation location!”
“Anyun County!”
“Congratulations, Host! Your supplies have been manifested on Blue Star ten-thousandfold. You have obtained first place on today’s points ranking!”
The fifty-two Green Wolves had directly pushed her to the top of the rankings!
She raised an eyebrow.
Seeing that she still had some Mortal-Tier Grade 2 lettuce and gray cabbage in her warehouse, she submitted all of them as well.
“Host, are you sure you want to submit Mortal-Tier Grade 2 Lettuce ×2,314 and Mortal-Tier Grade 2 Gray Cabbage ×1,213?”
“Confirm!”
“Please select the manifestation location!”
“Anyun County!”
“Congratulations, Host! Your supplies have been manifested on Blue Star ten-thousandfold. You have obtained first place on today’s points ranking!”
Wang Guodong had obviously noticed the rankings as well.
He sent her a string of ellipses:
“…You’re making me feel a lot of pressure here!”
Shen Qingyao was in a good mood.
“You’re in hunting mode, while I’m in farming mode. We’re fundamentally different! Your potential ceiling is much higher!”
As if!
Her farm could expand indefinitely!
As long as she was capable of cultivating the land!
Right now, she was only missing a Spirit-Tier shovel. Otherwise, she would have reclaimed ten or even twenty mu of land already!
Thinking that Wang Guodong was also a frequent presence on the rankings, she couldn’t help asking:
“Do you have any farming tools you don’t need? I’ll buy them at a high price!”
“Wait! Let me look!”
Wang Guodong remembered that he seemed to have some.
But since they weren’t very useful to him, he had simply piled them in a corner of his shelter!
During noon, Shen Qingyao took the opportunity to make some more fences and Basic Nutrient Solutions.
When she finished, she saw a message from Wang Guodong:
“【Spirit-Tier Composting Barrel】, do you need it?”
!!!
“I want it!!!”
