After returning to the house, Shen Qingyao washed her face and began making pottery.
She prioritized making ceramic jars and basins, as those two items had the most buyers.
Today, she made nearly twelve before she finally began to feel tired.
It was probably the effect of her improved physique.
She listed all the ceramic jars and basins on the trading market, continuing to exchange them for wood, glass, iron ingots, and other materials.
Then, she browsed the trading market for a while and unexpectedly discovered some fertilizer!
Without hesitation, she bought it for two pieces of wood!
So other people could also obtain fertilizer?
Then she definitely needed to buy it in bulk over the long term!
As for what to use for the purchases, there were stones everywhere around here!
After all, people who didn’t farm had no use for fertilizer. They might as well exchange it for basic resources such as stones.
Then, aside from keeping a small amount of the lettuce and lamb’s quarters she had harvested today for herself, she sold all the rest to the system!
“Ding! Congratulations, host! You have submitted Lettuce ×1,300 and Lamb’s Quarters ×2,500, earning 98,076 points. They will be manifested ten thousandfold on Blue Star. Please choose a delivery location!”
More than 300 million vegetables!
Hongshan Village probably couldn’t hold all of that, could it?
She hesitated for only a moment before deciding to change locations.
She remembered that near the county seat of Anyun County, where Hongshan Village was located, there was an empty plot of land covered only with artificial turf.
It was perfect for placing all these vegetables.
After confirming the location, she tapped Deliver!
Since it was in the county seat, news of such a huge pile of supplies would surely spread quickly, and they would soon be transported away.
“Ding! Congratulations, host! You have risen to first place on the Points Leaderboard!”
Although what she submitted today wasn’t high in quality, she made up for it with quantity!
With so many vegetables, it should be enough for many people in China to at least have a bite to eat, right?
After such a long apocalypse, there weren’t as many people left in China anymore. With more than 300 million vegetables, there should be enough for everyone to receive one!
Unexpectedly, her lettuce was ready for harvest again that very afternoon!
This time, the lettuce she harvested was Rank 2 Mortal-tier!
“Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained Lettuce ×3,504!”
“Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained Rank 2 Mortal-tier Lettuce ×398!”
“Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained Rank 2 Mortal-tier Lettuce Seeds ×1,689!”
“Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained Rank 3 Mortal-tier Lettuce Seeds ×187!”
And she had even harvested Rank 3 Mortal-tier seeds!
Although there weren’t many of those seeds, they gave her hope!
Shen Qingyao happily continued planting the Rank 2 and Rank 3 seeds.
She could feel that her body had become much stronger again. Previously, she would be panting after taking only a few steps, but now she could carry a whole jar of water with one hand!
She could even run all the way to the river without feeling tired at all!
And less than three days had passed!
She opened the Points Leaderboard and discovered that today’s second place wasn’t Wang Guodong.
It was actually a foreigner!
She kept scrolling down through dozens of names but still couldn’t find Wang Guodong.
Had he not submitted any supplies today?
After hesitating for a while, she still sent him a message.
“Do you need help?”
There was no reply.
Shen Qingyao didn’t know that Wang Guodong was currently fighting a bear!
Of course, he didn’t have time to pay attention to her!
She didn’t think too much about it. She continued browsing the trading market and exchanged lettuce and lamb’s quarters for several blueprints and some daily necessities, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, and toilet paper.
The blueprint that interested her the most was the Basic Nutrient Solution Blueprint!
She didn’t know whether she could make it or not, but it wasn’t expensive anyway—just two heads of lettuce.
So she bought it directly.
After placing it on the workbench, she discovered that she really could learn it!
Nutrient solution was a technology from a higher civilization, but its ingredients were very simple.
Any food ingredient would do!
In other words, both her lamb’s quarters and lettuce could be used to make it.
However, she was still missing one ingredient: grain!
The recipe for Basic Nutrient Solution required meat, vegetables, and grains mixed in a 1:1:1 ratio.
Shen Qingyao seriously suspected that it was nothing more than meat and vegetable porridge blended into a mush!
But since she had never seen it before, she couldn’t be sure!
She took out the Random Seed Bag she had received earlier and checked its contents again.
Although adzuki beans could be considered a grain, she felt that they would be too hard if used as a staple food!
Then she discovered millet seeds.
How strange!
The seeds provided by the system were all plants that existed on Blue Star. Even the plants scattered across the Wild Planet were originally species found on Blue Star.
The animals, however, were very different!
Even river snails and mussels that looked similar actually had significant differences in appearance compared with those on Blue Star!
It was only that the system used the same names for them as their Blue Star counterparts.
Shen Qingyao felt that there had to be some secret behind all this.
But she knew too little at the moment and couldn’t draw any definite conclusions.
Before night fell, she planted the millet in an empty plot that had already been harvested.
She planted lettuce in all the other empty plots.
“Do you have any medicine for injuries?”
A private message from Wang Guodong suddenly came through.
Along with it came a trade request.
Right there in the trade window was a Rank 7 Mortal-tier bear paw!
Shen Qingyao was stunned!
Was Wang Guodong really this amazing?
He could even get meat from a Rank 7 Mortal-tier beast!
If she established a long-term trading relationship with him, why would she ever have to worry about obtaining high-level beast meat?
“Yes!”
Shen Qingyao hurriedly put up a roll of hemostatic bandages and also added two heads of Rank 2 Mortal-tier lettuce.
This was a major future supplier of high-level beast meat!
She absolutely had to maintain a good relationship with him!
“I grew them myself. They’re a gift for you to eat!”
Wang Guodong had already lost so much blood that his vision was going dark. He didn’t even have the strength to refuse.
He immediately accepted the trade, then barely managed to apply the hemostatic bandage before passing out.
Seeing that he didn’t send any more messages, Shen Qingyao checked the Points Leaderboard.
Second place had already changed.
It was now Wang Guodong.
One Rank 7 Mortal-tier bear, manifested ten thousandfold in reality…
That would be a mountain of meat!
Amazing!
Absolutely amazing!
China was winning big!
She provided the vegetables, and he supplied the meat. Getting everyone completely full might be impossible, but the chances of people starving had become much smaller!
The public channel had already exploded with discussion!
“Boss 666, where did you get so much lettuce and lamb’s quarters? Don’t tell me you found an entire vegetable garden?”
“I’m tired of saying how jealous I am! I want vegetables too! I’ve been eating fish nonstop lately, and I’m about to get sick of it!”
“Same here. I’ve been living on desert rat meat. Can someone please give me a bite of vegetables?”
“I don’t care. I’ve already traded for one head of lettuce on the market! It’s seriously huge—enough for me to eat for several days! Boss 666, you’re my god!”
“What? The market has some? I’m going to take a look!”
In an instant, the public channel emptied as everyone rushed to the trading market.
Almost immediately, the ten listings of lettuce and lamb’s quarters she had put up were completely snatched up!
Shen Qingyao raised her eyebrows and continued listing more, still trading one head of lettuce for twenty pieces of wood.
She had no choice—she desperately needed wood!
After several rounds, the number of buyers finally began to decrease.
Shen Qingyao now had nearly 2,000 pieces of wood in her possession.
Unfortunately, that was still far from the 10,000 she needed to upgrade to Level 4!
She was also still short on stone, so she needed to go pick up some.
Fortunately, it wasn’t dark yet. She quickly ran to the river and hurriedly gathered a large number of stones.
She checked all her traps along the way. Finding no prey, she returned home.
This time, after night fell, she crouched by the window and looked outside.
