Why did she want seeds from Blue Star so badly?
It was because all the seeds in this world were genetically contaminated. Even if the detected pollution level was safe, there was no guarantee at which stage they would suddenly mutate after being planted.
It could mutate the moment it touched the soil, or during germination, or on any given day during its growth, or even at maturity.
The whole thing was unpredictable—like opening a blind box, thrilling!
The seeds she had planted the day before yesterday showed no abnormalities when she left yesterday morning. But by the time she returned after begging for food, they had already mutated.
【Holy shit, what am I seeing? A sweet potato really appeared out of thin air!】
【Professionally verified: the sweet potato in the streamer’s hand is identical to the one gifted by ‘Dragon Year Riches.’ Screenshot as proof.】
【Is this livestream for real? Streamer, are you really in the Wasteland World? If you’ve been kidnapped, blink twice.】
【It’s probably AI. How is this possible? I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!】
【If you don’t understand, shut up. You’re embarrassing yourself. The special effects when the sweet potato appeared just now would cost at least ten million to produce. That’s way more expensive than gifting.】
Lu Liuhe gratefully addressed the light screen: “Thank you, ‘Dragon Year Riches,’ for the gift. I love you, sending hearts!”
As she spoke, she raised both arms and formed a big heart above her head.
【Streamer, he only initiated the crowdfunding. I donated a thousand bucks!】
【Me too, I donated a hundred. Streamer, look at me!】
【I donated fifty. I’m just a student—that’s my breakfast money for a whole week!】
Many new fans flooding the bullet comments had found the crowdfunding platform through yesterday’s video, then located the Livestream Room number in the comments and followed it here.
Everyone had donated money and demanded equal treatment.
“Thank you, family,” Lu Liuhe continued, forming hearts. “Thank you all, sending hearts!”
Then.
Beautiful fireworks and celebratory cannons exploded across the bullet comments.
#DaddyRaisesHisDaughter# gifted you ten wheat seeds.
Lu Liuhe widened her eyes in disbelief: !
Her tiny Livestream Room with only a hundred viewers had actually attracted a sugar daddy who spent money like water.
The donation fans competing for attention: …
【Holy shit!】
【Big shot!】
【So rich!】
【Daddy, do you need a sidekick? Look at me!】
Dragon Year Riches: 【Streamer, this big brother donated five hundred thousand during yesterday’s crowdfunding.】
Lu Liuhe wasn’t inexperienced, but she never expected to receive such a huge gift at this moment: “Big brother, I don’t know how to thank you. Let me perform some somersaults for you!”
After saying that.
She did one, two, three, four, five—five consecutive somersaults, stopping only when she bumped into the fence ahead. After steadying herself, she bowed deeply to the light screen.
【Hahaha, you can tell the streamer is genuinely happy.】
【Five somersaults were just the limit of the space, not the streamer’s limit. If there wasn’t a fence ahead, I bet she could do a hundred without a problem.】
DaddyRaisesHisDaughter: 【Child, you look a lot like my daughter who passed away. Seeing you reminds me of her. I wish she could have had a chance to be reborn like you, living well in another world.】
Since the sponsor said so.
Lu Liuhe would be disrespecting her sponsor daddy and money if she hesitated even for a second: “Daddy, from now on, you are my real father, and I am your real daughter. You raise me now, and when I grow crops and earn money, I will support you.”
Daddy Will Raise You, My Daughter: 【Okay, Daddy will raise you.】
【Congratulations to the top-ranked daddy for gaining a daughter.】
【Congratulations to the streamer for finding a daddy.】
【Congratulations +1】
【Congratulations +10086】
The scrolling bullet comments all turned into congratulations.
Including ‘Daddy Will Raise You, My Daughter,’ no one at this moment could have predicted that she would keep her word and, in the near future, help her sponsor daddy become the wealthiest person on Blue Star.
Lu Liuhe smiled and took out the wheat seeds from her space. She had to show Daddy that their livestream room was not a scam—it was a genuine Wasteland broadcast.
Then.
With a thought, she stored the sweet potatoes and wheat back into the System Space.
At this moment, the system also reminded her: 【Congratulations, host, for gaining a top-ranked daddy. The livestream room’s Fan Points have accumulated to 700. When Fan Points reach 1000, the livestream room will automatically upgrade to Level 2, accommodating 1,000 viewers. Keep it up, host!】
Gifts, liveliness, number of fans, viewing duration, and interactions can all increase Fan Points.
Lu Liuhe calculated that by the end of today’s livestream, she would accumulate 1,000 Fan Points and upgrade to a Level 2 livestream room.
For the first hundred levels of the livestream room, every ten levels would automatically unlock an ordinary Plane with a technological civilization similar to Blue Star’s.
With so many new fans joining, the livestream room was incredibly lively, with various explanations scrolling nonstop.
Lu Liuhe chatted with them while walking out of the Planting Base, saying, “Ordinary people in the Base cannot leave freely. I have to go to the Mercenary Management Center and hitch a ride with a kind-hearted Mercenary Squad.”
The Mercenary Management Center was located near the Planting Base, just a ten-minute walk away—a five-story building.
The ground floor was for administrative purposes, handling all matters related to Mercenary Squads: registering Mercenary Teams, entering and leaving the Base, accepting tasks, delivering tasks, and squad member changes all required registration here.
After arriving, Lu Liuhe found a spot by the roadside, where people were coming and going, sat cross-legged, and placed a small blackboard in front of her.
It read: Task Posting
Task Content: Take me out of the Base.
Task Reward: One energy bar, an IOU for ten pounds of grain (PS: I am a Planter with 10 years of experience in grain cultivation. I promise to repay the debt within six months, with absolute credibility.)
Passing mercenaries would occasionally glance at it, while others couldn’t be bothered to look.
For many of them, one energy bar was nothing special, and ten pounds of grain might be worth considering—but only if paid upfront. An IOU? Ha!
Everyone knew that Planters changed even more frequently than mercenaries. Whether she could survive six months was a question in itself.
The bullet comments scrolled:
【These people are so cold-hearted. The streamer just wants them to take her out of the Base—it’s a simple favor.】
【Did you notice? They’re all so strong, radiating a murderous aura. You can tell they’ve fought their way through bloodshed.】
“Anchor, they take on missions where the reward starts at a hundred catties of grain. I think you’re just wasting your time—no one will pay you any attention.”
Lu Liuhe didn’t mind at all and replied quite optimistically, “The willing will take the bait. I did a divination before I left home, and my luck today isn’t too bad.”
Going out to dig for soil was absolutely necessary.
After a month of experiments, she had confirmed that the soil at home was all contaminated. No matter what was planted, it would mutate.
Moreover, even if it weren’t contaminated, she couldn’t bear to use such poor, nutrient-deficient soil to plant the hard-won Blue Star original seeds.
She waited and waited.
Finally.
A pair of long legs stopped in front of her, clad in black military boots.
“Why do you want to leave the Base?”
The man’s voice was pleasant, clear, and youthful.
