What did she lack?
Aside from an iron shovel, it was fertilizer!
A composting barrel that could produce fertilizer on its own—who knew how badly she needed one?
From now on, she would have somewhere to put all her weeds, fallen leaves, and animal offal!
“Name your price!”
She hurriedly replied.
Wang Guodong laughed.
“I got this thing from a treasure chest. It’s not much use to me, so I’ll give it to you!”
He had previously wondered why a survival game would need a composting barrel.
Now he understood.
Someone had actually managed to grow grains and vegetables!
He couldn’t help admiring Shen Qingyao.
Her farming route was probably the proper way to play this survival game, wasn’t it?
Unfortunately, he had tried it himself. Everything he planted on his territory died.
So farming wasn’t something just anyone could do!
Shen Qingyao hesitated for a moment, but still put up 100 Mortal-Tier Grade 4 lettuces, 100 Mortal-Tier Grade 3 tomatoes, and 10 Basic Traps.
“I’ll take care of your vegetables from now on!”
Wang Guodong was resting inside his shelter at the time.
Hearing this, he couldn’t help laughing.
“Sure! Then I’ll take care of your meat. Don’t be polite with me!”
Shen Qingyao’s heart felt warm.
It seemed that she had found a companion in this otherworldly place—someone who could walk alongside her.
With the Spirit-Tier Composting Barrel, Shen Qingyao immediately reclaimed some more land.
She then gathered all kinds of dried grass and vegetable roots from the fields, mixed them with animal offal, and put everything into the composting barrel.
As long as there was something inside the composting barrel, it could produce one bag of fertilizer every hour!
From now on, she would never have to pinch pennies and ration her fertilizer again!
There were still 22 bags of fertilizer in her warehouse.
She simply used them all on every field today, and even after that, she still had 10 bags left!
“Hahaha! Even the landlord has surplus grain now!”
She put her hands on her hips and laughed triumphantly at the sky!
That’s right. With fertilizer, she could harvest two batches of lettuce today!
Even the corn had all ripened!
“Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Mortal-Tier Grade 4 Corn ×2,543!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Mortal-Tier Grade 4 Corn Seeds ×533!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Mortal-Tier Grade 5 Corn Seeds ×169!”
“…”
This time, she had mainly planted corn, with only one plot devoted to lettuce.
She then reclaimed another two mu of land around the outskirts, working until her hands were blistered again!
However, looking at the eight mu of farmland in front of her shelter, her heart was filled with immense pride.
“All of this is the empire I conquered myself!”
She hadn’t opened any of the Random Seed Bags she had obtained over the past few days.
Today, she opened them all at once to see if there were any good seeds.
【Millet Seeds ×207, Chili Pepper Seeds ×16, Cabbage Seeds ×38, Peach Tree Seeds ×5, Chinese Chive Seeds ×23, Garlic Chive Seeds ×44, Shepherd’s Purse Seeds ×35】
There was actually quite a good variety!
She definitely had to plant the peach tree seeds.
She would plant them on the hillside behind the house and go reclaim some land there later.
Chili peppers and Chinese chives were both seasonings, so they also had to be planted as soon as possible.
She had long since grown sick of eating boiled meat in plain water!
Unfortunately, the seasonings she had obtained from treasure chests were only Mortal-Tier Grade 1.
Her palate had become particularly picky now. Anything even slightly inferior tasted strange to her!
So she still had to grow her own seasonings!
As for the other seeds, apart from the garlic chives, which she could plant, there was no need to rush the rest.
Shen Qingyao didn’t even feel tired anymore.
She grabbed her hoe and excitedly went to the slope behind the house to till the soil.
Then she used the iron shovel to dig five holes and buried some base fertilizer at the bottom of each hole before planting the peach tree seeds.
In the real-world Blue Star, these kinds of seed-grown peach trees generally took three years to bear fruit.
She couldn’t possibly wait three years!
Fortunately, she had fertilizer from a higher civilization!
Sure enough, the seeds sprouted at lightning speed.
Before long, they had grown to half her height, after which their growth rate gradually slowed down.
Satisfied, she left and reclaimed another small patch of land in front of the house, planting garlic chives, chili peppers, and Chinese chives.
Once she had some free time, she began preparing to investigate the surrounding environment.
She had already crippled the wolf pack, but were there any other potential dangers lurking nearby?
First of all, there were the arrows.
She made more than a thousand feather arrows as spares.
To be safe, she also exchanged some poisonous mushrooms with Wang Guodong again and soaked the arrowheads in mushroom-infused water.
Finally, she had some free time.
She sat by the window, quietly waiting for the wolf pack to arrive.
She waited until late at night, but the wolves never came.
Only then did she go to bed.
Meanwhile, Qin Lie nearly lost his life!
“Brother Dong, thanks!”
After Qin Lie woke up, he immediately sent Wang Guodong a message.
Wang Guodong couldn’t help cursing angrily:
“Can’t you give me a little less to worry about? What kind of place is this? Do you really think you can afford to act recklessly?”
Qin Lie hurriedly explained:
“Brother Dong, listen to me! I really couldn’t stand watching those bastards slaughter people indiscriminately! I was careless this time and fell into their trap. Next time, I’ll definitely chop their heads off!”
“I don’t think you’ve realized what you did wrong! Is your life yours alone? Let me tell you, the moment you die, a natural disaster will immediately erupt at the manifestation location you designated! Countless people will die because of you! Knowing that, do you still dare act recklessly?”
Wang Guodong was genuinely furious!
Qin Lie was his comrade.
He came from a good background and had excellent skills. He was also extremely proud and arrogant.
After entering the Wasteland Survival Game, he still treated himself like some kind of hero!
That attitude was extremely dangerous!
Forget whether those people were killing survivors from the Hua Nation or not—even if they were, Qin Lie still couldn’t disregard his own safety!
Qin Lie immediately deflated.
“Brother Dong, I’m sorry! I acted impulsively!”
He had also seen the comments, so naturally, he knew about these things.
It was just that he had always relied on his excellent combat skills and had never been afraid of anything!
But this time, he had been surrounded by more than a dozen other survivors, suffered serious injuries, and nearly died!
If Brother Dong hadn’t sent him healing medicine and food, he really would have been dead by now!
“It’s good that you know you were wrong! Do you still have enough food over there? If you don’t, tell me. Take a few days to recover properly first!”
Qin Lie immediately perked up.
“I’ve got meat, but those vegetables of yours are from 666, aren’t they? Your luck is ridiculously good! You actually managed to get food from the big shot?”
Wang Guodong was so angry he wanted to kick him, but unfortunately, the guy wasn’t standing in front of him.
“Yeah! I trade with her privately. And you really haven’t gotten rid of that spoiled-young-master attitude. We’re in a wasteland survival game, and you’re still picky about food!”
Qin Lie immediately sent an obsequious sticker.
“Bro, you’re my real bro! Can you help me trade for some too?”
Wang Guodong traded him some more lettuce and cursed:
“Get lost!”
What an exhausting little brat!
The comments in Qin Lie’s livestream immediately erupted in laughter:
“Hahaha, Brother Lie is so pitiful!”
“Brother Dong is so generous!”
“If it were me, I’d go crazy eating meat every day too!”
“666 is the real god! Please, 666, start a livestream!”
“Same request!”
“Same!”
Qin Lie glanced at the comments and said miserably:
“You bunch of ingrates! Forsaking the old for the new, forgetting those who helped you, switching sides at the drop of a hat…”
Before he could finish, the endless stream of “hahahaha” comments irritated him so much that he simply turned off the comments.
