Shen Qingyao was still debating whether she should speak up in the public channel to remind that person when she saw that the transaction had already been completed!
Very good. No need to hesitate anymore!
As for who had bought it, she couldn’t care less!
She took out the remaining cattail leaves, repaired the shrimp trap, and headed to the river again. After running back and forth for the past two days, she was no longer as resistant to going there.
A native frog she encountered on the way was killed with a single slash of her knife. She also picked up some more river snails along the way.
After securing the shrimp trap once again, she began collecting water.
Looking at the riverbed full of stones, she suddenly remembered a survival video she had watched before. The streamer had arranged the stones in the river into a lollipop-shaped maze. Once fish and shrimp entered it, they couldn’t find their way out!
She had no idea what principle was behind it, but this place was similar enough to the one in the original video, so she decided to give it a try.
Her strength was much greater now, so moving a few stones wasn’t a problem.
In less than half an hour, she had finished building the maze.
Then she took out all her containers, filled them with water one by one, and stored them in her warehouse.
It was now evening. A cool breeze blew gently—perfect weather for working in the fields.
Shen Qingyao first used the watering can to water all her crops. To her surprise, the watering can was extremely useful. The water came out in a very fine spray, making it highly water-efficient.
After watering the crops, she continued reclaiming land.
“Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained Stone ×1!”
“Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained Adzuki Bean Seeds ×18!”
“Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained Dry Grass ×3!”
“Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained Lamb’s Quarters Seeds ×9!”
The system notifications rang out continuously.
Shen Qingyao kept her head down and worked tirelessly. Sweat trickled down from her temples. After wiping it away, she paused and looked into the distance.
Birds suddenly took flight in the distant mountain forest, and the shadows of the trees swayed violently.
Fear rose in her heart.
That was the kind of commotion caused by a large wild beast!
There really were large beasts in the mountain forest!
Fortunately—
She had a safe zone!
Over the past two days, she had also learned something.
Unlike her, everyone else’s safe zone was very small and only covered the area around their shelter.
In other words, the safe zone surrounding her wooden house had been brought about by the Wild Planet Farming System.
She didn’t understand the relationship between the Wild Planet Farming System and the Wild Planet Survival System. However, there was one thing she could be certain of: since the two could be integrated, they must belong to the same system family!
The Wild Planet Farming System was more like a subsidiary system.
That was why both her hunting and gathering, as well as her farming, could be exchanged for points!
However, it was obvious that her main focus should be farming!
Hunting and gathering had never been her strong suit!
Lowering her head, she continued digging the soil. As long as she didn’t leave the safe zone, she should be safe for the time being.
The most important thing right now was upgrading!
If her farmland leveled up, would the range of her safe zone expand as well?
She wasn’t asking for much. She only wanted it to expand all the way to the river!
That way, she wouldn’t have to nervously worry every day when she went there to fetch water.
Perhaps because her physical strength had improved, she had reclaimed a little over one mu of land before nightfall.
This time, she planted all of it with lettuce!
The random seed bags had yielded some lettuce seeds, along with tomato seeds.
After she finished watering them, the sky had already turned completely dark.
Then, just as she finished watering the crops and looked up, she saw something that terrified her beyond measure!
Pairs of green eyes moved through the darkness along the edge of her fields, heading toward the river.
Those were…
Wolves!
The Azure Wolf meat Wang Guodong had given her today!
Terrified, she scrambled back to the wooden house on all fours and slammed the door shut. Peering through the window, she saw the distant pack of Azure Wolves seemingly fail to notice her as they headed straight toward the river.
She stared fixedly at the scene, trembling all over with fear.
A pack of Rank 6 Mortal-tier wolves was not something she could deal with!
If she had encountered them at the river during the day, she would have had no chance of survival!
Only after a long while, when she saw the wolf pack leave, did she collapse weakly to the ground.
The lingering fear was overwhelming!
The fact that there was a wolf pack nearby was nothing less than a bolt from the blue!
After calming herself down, she took out that piece of wolf meat almost spitefully, fried it, sprinkled a little instant noodle seasoning over it, and began devouring it.
“Ding! It has been detected that the host has consumed Rank 6 Mortal-tier Azure Wolf meat. The host’s physical attributes have improved slightly. Please keep up the good work!”
She could clearly feel the piece of Azure Wolf meat transforming into warm energy within her body.
She touched her arms and legs.
After a full day of labor, her body wasn’t sore or aching at all!
Thinking about that wolf pack, however, she was too anxious to sleep. She could only spend some time lurking in the public channel.
She was an introvert, after all. She wasn’t going to speak—she only lurked.
“Have you guys noticed? There are ferocious beasts roaming around nearby!”
“I’m floating on the ocean, and I’ve already seen sharks several times over the past few days. They haven’t attacked me yet, but I know it’s only a matter of time!”
“I’m on an ice field. Do you understand what it feels like to see a polar giant bear the size of a small mountain?”
“I’ve got a pack of sand wolves here too!”
Everyone chimed in one after another. Apparently, everyone was in roughly the same situation!
After seeing that, Shen Qingyao stopped reading.
Since everyone was facing the same problem, there was nothing to complain about.
Right now, the most important thing was upgrading!
She needed to upgrade everything she possibly could!
She took the remaining river mussel meat she had and exchanged it on the trading market for some clothes and shoes.
She had already eaten the native frog meat!
That left only the river snails for manifestation!
Fortunately, she had been lucky today and had picked up more than half a jar of river snails.
After setting aside enough for one meal, she turned all the rest over to the system!
“Ding! The host has submitted River Snails ×326. They will be manifested ten thousandfold on Blue Star. Please choose the manifestation location!”
3.26 million river snails!
She had just eaten them. They were Rank 1 Mortal-tier food and didn’t do much for her, but there were so many hungry compatriots back in China waiting for food!
Once again, she selected Hongshan Village as the location!
She knew it was impossible for all this food to go to Hongshan Village. However, since she had designated the village, the higher-ups would have to consider her wishes and give Hongshan Village some preferential treatment.
That was enough!
3.26 million river snails formed another small mountain!
People had long since been stationed in Hongshan Village. The moment the river snails appeared, they immediately began loading them onto trucks in an orderly manner.
The villagers of Hongshan Village watched the scene with envy.
“Ah, what a pity! They’re actually going to be transported away!”
“Are you stupid? Can Hongshan Village even eat this many supplies?”
“I’m just a little unhappy about it. Why should the things brought back by someone from our Hongshan Village be shared with other people?”
“Put that pig brain of yours away! We don’t even know if Boss 666 is from Hongshan Village! The authorities have investigated for so long and still haven’t found that person. Watch what you say—you could bring trouble upon yourself!”
“Who do you think this person really is? Hongshan Village has become famous this time, but when people ask me about it, I don’t even know what to say!”
“Sigh… Let’s keep a low profile! Even Boss 666 is keeping a low profile, so we definitely shouldn’t go around talking nonsense!”
Shen Qingyao knew nothing about any of this. Taking care of Hongshan Village was merely something she had done in passing.
She noticed that her points ranking had dropped today.
She was now only in 78th place.
It seemed that this jar of river snails wasn’t enough—neither the quantity nor the quality was good enough.
Everyone was still competing way too fiercely!
