The little white creature, praised by the human, felt a surge of pride. Just as it was about to gloat, it was scooped up by the human and taken back to the planting area.
The sudden shift in fortune was too much for it to bear.
"Squeak squeak." It wanted to stay there. The little white creature extended its tiny paws, pointing towards the storage area.
That place was so much better, filled with food. Even though there were many things it couldn't open, just looking at them made its mouth water.
"Potato chips are very salty, you've eaten so much, you can't have any more."
"Squeak squeak." Just looking is fine too.
However, Fu Xinci was not in the mood to bicker with the little white creature. She looked at the fully mature crops in the space with a mix of joy and helplessness.
Where could she possibly store all these things? She didn't have enough bags.
This was truly vexing. She needed to use her brain, which was usually occupied with thoughts of vacation.
Should she spread that large plastic sheet on the ground? That scene seemed so incongruous with the grandeur of this space.
Fu Xinci was so worried that she was about to pull her hair out when she heard a strange noise from behind her.
When Fu Xinci turned around, she was horrified to discover that the previously useless and somewhat cumbersome notice board had actually lit up on its own.
In a moment of panic, Fu Xinci blurted out a curse, "What the hell, this is how it's played?"
After a burst of mechanical gibberish, when the large characters "Longcheng" appeared on the notice board, Fu Xinci's hands trembled with excitement, her eyes welling up with tears.
During the apocalypse, her mercenary team was stationed in Longcheng.
Could it be?
As countless possibilities flashed through Fu Xinci's mind, the notice board began to display gibberish again.
Just as Fu Xinci was about to curse again, the notice board's panel split in two from left to right. The left side still displayed the two golden characters "Longcheng," while the right side now showed two new characters: "Unknown."
Looking at "Longcheng" on the left and "Unknown" on the right.
Fu Xinci suddenly had an idea. "Unknown"... could it represent her current location?
My heavens! This was almost too unbelievable to write about, even for a novelist.
After a long silence.
Seeing that the notice board's panel was no longer displaying gibberish, Fu Xinci slowly approached to examine it closely.
After a careful exploration, she discovered a vending machine-like device below the notice board, with a large dispensing slot and several smaller slots below it.
"Huh?" She found it very strange, not knowing how to use this thing.
She pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out. She squatted for a while until her legs went numb and sat down on the ground in dejection.
"Squeak squeak." This white creature still wanted to go eat delicious food over there.
"Your belly is already so full, and you still want to eat? Aren't you afraid of bursting?"
"Squeak...?" The little white creature touched its bulging belly, grudgingly gave up the idea, and sat down with a sigh, mimicking the human.
Fu Xinci: She was frustrated and distressed. These crops had matured, and she didn't know where to put them. And why was the creature next to her distressed?
"Squeak squeak." The little white creature pointed with its paws, saying it was clumsy and could just try it.
"Right." The little white creature's reminder brought Fu Xinci a moment of clarity.
However, trying it out required courage. If these soon-to-be-harvested crops were lost, she would cry.
"Squeak squeak." The little white creature was almost contemptuous of the human. She usually acted so carefree, but at critical moments, she became such a coward.
Being looked down upon by this creature made Fu Xinci indignant. Fine, she would try it, and at worst, she could replant.
"Squeak squeak." This white creature is cheering you on.
Fu Xinci gave the little white creature a fierce glare before carefully thinking things through.
First, if she was going to experiment, she should use the cheapest item.
Looking at the vast expanse of golden rice, millet, and wheat ears in front of her, heavy enough to bend their stalks, Fu Xinci was reluctant.
Fu Xinci then turned her gaze to the corn cobs, each over a foot long, and was still reluctant. She glanced at the red sorghum ears and was still reluctant.
Finally, gritting her teeth, she decided that the cheapest among the things she had planted were the soybeans, so she would use soybeans for the experiment.
No sooner said than done, with a thought of harvesting soybeans, she watched as the acre of soybeans was uprooted, the withered bean stalks piling up neatly, forming a large heap, and the soybeans in the pods were gone.
"..." Fu Xinci had feared this outcome. Just as she was about to search everywhere, the notice board flashed.
She quickly moved closer to look, and saw that the smaller dispensing slots at the bottom had changed.
The first dispensing slot from the left displayed: 1200 jin of soybeans.
Seeing that the goods were not lost and were inside the vending machine, Fu Xinci's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled.
Just as she was about to comfort her fragile heart, the notice board's panel changed again.
The characters "Longcheng" became smaller, and below them appeared a line of text: Someone wants to buy pollution-free soybeans. Does the owner wish to sell?
Below were the options "Sell" and "Do Not Sell."
Fu Xinci: What did this mean?
The little white creature wanted to cover its face at the sight of the傻瓜-like human.
"Squeak squeak." Where's your brain? Has it been taken?
"You're the one whose brain has been taken, your whole family's has been taken."
The human's words struck a chord. It seemed that apart from her, the entire family of the little white creature had indeed been taken.
"Wuwuwu~"
Fu Xinci hadn't expected that a single sentence would lead to a family tragedy.
As the saying goes, recognizing and correcting mistakes leads to progress. Fu Xinci immediately apologized to the little white creature seriously, "Uh, little white, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
The little white creature ignored the human, needing some time to grieve.
Fu Xinci didn't want to disturb the little white creature, so she collected herself and stared intently at the two options displayed on the notice board's panel: "Sell" and "Do Not Sell."
Thinking that the experiment had already come this far, Fu Xinci no longer hesitated and quickly tapped the "Sell" option.
Then, the panel quickly displayed the next option: Sell by market jin.
Seeing the listed options: 100 jin, 200 jin, 500 jin, 1000 jin, 5000 jin, Fu Xinci decisively selected 100 jin.
For a trial run, of course, she would choose the smallest amount.
After tapping the options a few more times, she found her mood calming down significantly.
However, when she clearly saw the options displayed on the panel again, her heart began to pound erratically.
Crystal nuclei
Gold, silver, and jade ware
Weapons
Other
At the very bottom, there was even a "Custom Selection."
Fu Xinci almost cried out again, this was getting more and more interesting.
Looking at the options above, she decisively pressed the second option, "Gold, silver, and jade ware."
Crystal nuclei were useless to her now, as her ability upgrades were linked to the space.
As for weapons and other items, she hadn't given them much thought yet.
Therefore, at this moment, the only things that caught her eye were gold, silver, and jade ware.
When she saw a modern-crafted gold bracelet appear on the screen, she did not hesitate to click "Confirm Transaction."
