[Obtained: One Pair of Big White Geese]
What kind of reward was this? She had thought it would be some kind of spatial item. At the very least, perhaps a cultivation technique. Yet it turned out to be two big white geese.
“System, can I redraw?”
Looking at the two large geese in front of her, she felt like crying. In the apocalypse she would now have to feed and take care of these two geese. What a waste.
[Dear host, rewards cannot be redrawn. Our system shop never contains useless products. Please explore the advantages of these two big white geese yourself.]
Yan Jin looked at the two foolish looking geese before her and suddenly remembered her childhood. Once she had accidentally lifted the bowl that the family geese ate from. From that day on, whenever the geese saw her, they chased her all around the yard, bringing an entire flock along to chase her.
[Ding. Temporary Mission 1: Build a comfortable nest for the “Inn Guardian Beasts,” the Big White Geese.]
[Mission reward: Luck +1]
This reward was extremely tempting. Just what kind of background did these two geese have?
She browsed through the system shop. Even the simplest goose shed cost 3000 gold coins, though it came with automatic feeding and automatic cleaning functions. But she simply could not afford it.
Forget it. There was no need to rush this matter.
Yan Jin closed the panel. She settled the two geese in the courtyard and then went to check whether Bai Ruozhu had woken up.
Before she even entered the room, she felt a sharp gust of wind howling past her ears, making her body shiver involuntarily. When she opened the door, she saw that the bedsheets, the hanging lamp, and the cabinet inside the room had all been blown into complete disarray.
Bai Ruozhu’s body was wrapped in a milky white aura, within which faint currents of wind could be seen flowing.
After a full day and night of awakening, the wind surrounding Bai Ruozhu gradually absorbed back into her body. The wind around the room slowly calmed, then finally dissipated.
Bai Ruozhu opened her eyes.
“Sister, look…”
Before she could finish speaking, a wind blade suddenly formed in her hand and slashed toward the hanging lamp. In an instant, the lamp was split cleanly in half.
Bai Ruozhu looked at Yan Jin with an expression that clearly said she was proud of herself.
Yan Jin stared at the lamp that had been cut into two pieces, feeling as though she had swallowed hundreds of lemons.
She had only bought that lamp a few days ago, and now it was already destroyed.
“Sister… I am sorry!”
Yan Jin forced a slight smile onto her face, trying to comfort herself as she spoke.
“It is fine. It was not expensive anyway…”
Bai Ruozhu was about to speak again, but Yan Jin quickly changed the topic with an exclamation.
“You awakened wind abilities. That is amazing!”
“That is right, sister. From now on I can protect you.”
Yan Jin’s bad mood was instantly washed away by the good news. That meant even without her, Bai Ruozhu could survive in this apocalypse and would not be bullied.
“Aaaah!”
A miserable cry suddenly came from outside the courtyard, followed by frantic footsteps and the sharp honking cries of two geese.
Oh no.
Both Bai Ruozhu and Yan Jin were inside the room. Other than Yu Chen, there was no one else in the courtyard.
Sure enough, the two geese were staring intently at the item in Yu Chen’s hands.
Yu Chen clutched the roasted sweet potato tightly, afraid that the two geese would snatch it away.
“What… are you doing?” Yan Jin walked over, completely confused.
“They… they want to steal my roasted sweet potato!”
The pair of geese stared at Yu Chen with expressions full of disdain.
Yu Chen still felt shaken as he looked at the two big white geese. Where had this shop owner found such geese? Their combat power was terrifying. One of his hands had almost been pecked through.
The two geese had even attacked from the front and the back together.
Meanwhile, the attacks he launched had dissipated in moments without even damaging a single feather. He was a Level 1 fire ability user.
“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding,” Yan Jin said hurriedly.
She leaned closer to the two geese and whispered, “That is our financial supporter. Tonight’s dinner depends on him.”
After hearing this, the two geese lowered their arrogant wings and began patrolling while honking proudly.
“Mr. Yu, I am really sorry. These two foolish geese just arrived and are not familiar with the surroundings yet. That is why they attacked you.”
“It is fine. As long as the misunderstanding is cleared up.”
Yu Chen waved his hand indifferently. If people found out he could not even defeat two geese, would he not become a laughingstock?
After sending Yu Chen away, Yan Jin noticed the two geese resting in a crude nest made of dry grass not far away. It seemed they had carried the grass back themselves.
“When I earn more money, I will build you a better nest.”
The two geese flapped their snow white wings as if saying that she had better keep her word.
Then one of them nudged a spotless white egg toward Yan Jin with its beak.
They stood upright and honked proudly, as though asking for praise.
“This is your egg?” Yan Jin curiously picked it up. The goose egg felt slightly warm in her hands.
Images of fried eggs, steamed eggs, shrimp fried rice, egg fried rice, and chive egg dumplings flashed through her mind.
She swallowed unconsciously.
Suddenly she seemed to realize something. Carefully, she placed the goose egg back into the nest and covered it with some dry grass.
She muttered softly, “We still have to pursue sustainable development. Small geese become big geese, and big geese lay more small geese. That way the supply never ends.”
[Ding. Successfully unlocked the Spotless White Goose Egg.]
[Reward: 100 gold coins]
Hearing the system’s reward notification, Yan Jin’s mood brightened. She hummed cheerfully.
After all, in the apocalypse, poultry had become extremely precious, especially those capable of laying eggs.
Moreover, the two geese had just chased Yu Chen around the courtyard earlier, proving that their combat power was formidable. They were practically two additional bodyguards. This system reward was actually quite wonderful.
[Ding. Main quest triggered: Expand and improve the inn.]
[Mission 1: Recruit two employees.]
[Mission 2: Unlock ten types of fruits and vegetables, five types of meat. Progress: 3/15.]
A series of mission notifications sounded beside Yan Jin’s ear.
She had not even started the goose shed mission yet, and now two more missions had appeared.
Besides, she had not seen a single person around here lately. Where was she supposed to find employees?
