"We'll have to wait a little longer."

"All right!"

As they spoke, the spot where the seed was buried began to slowly undulate, and a tiny sprout emerged from the soil, its tip shaped like a pair of gloves.

"A pair of gloves? The thing my body desperately needs most is a pair of gloves?"

"Yes, host, what your body urgently needs right now is a pair of gloves."

"Impossible. What I need most is a house, a bed, food, and a place to sleep."

"Host, why don't you plant another one and see?"

Zuo Qingya thought for a moment and said, "That works too." Then she took out another seed and planted it in the ground.

After a while, the spot where the seed was buried began to slowly move, and a small sprout emerged from the soil. The sprout was now a packet of unknown liquid.

Zuo Qingya asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Little Darling glanced at it and said, "Host is a packet of nutrient solution. Drinking one packet will keep you full for a day!"

"Nutritional solution? Does it taste good?"

"I don't know, host."

Zuo Qingya sighed. How come she doesn't know anything?

Rumble... At this moment, Zuo Qingya's stomach rumbled.

"I'm so hungry!" she said, taking off the nutrient solution and gulping it down in two gulps. After finishing, Zuo Qingya smacked her lips and said, "It doesn't taste like anything, but it definitely makes me feel full."

"Hey! Let's get back to work! But little one, how long are we going to be picking up trash?"

Little Darling glanced at the icon in Zuo Qingya's taskbar and said, "Host, almost there, only one-third left! Keep it up, Host!"

"Okay!" Zuo Qingya looked at the pile of trash and thought that it would be great if she could collect all the trash with a wave of her hand. She couldn't help but ask, "Little darling, it would be great if you could collect all the trash with a wave of your hand."

"Host, that's something only advanced mission takers can do. Right now, you're just a lowly beginner mission taker!"

"???All right!"

"So, host, you must work hard; labor is the most glorious thing."

"But hey, little one, how do we get points? I've been picking up trash for so long, but I haven't seen any points earned."

"Host, points are only calculated after the task is completed."

"All right!"

Just as they were talking, Zuo Qingya finished picking up the trash.

Zuo Qingya held her lower back, her buttocks also aching: "Picking up trash isn't really difficult, it's just that my lower back hurts quite a bit, and my buttocks hurt too. Luckily, I have you here, little darling, otherwise, it would be too lonely. There's not a soul around here, just trash everywhere. Where did all this trash come from?"

"Host, this is a world that has just experienced the apocalypse. The reason there is no one here is because I specially chose this place for you. If there were people or zombies, your small body would definitely not be able to fight them."

"Then I really have to thank you, thank you, my little darling."

"You're welcome, host."

"Host, our mission is complete. We're heading back now."

"good."

After a moment of dizziness, Zuo Qingya appeared in her own consciousness space.

"Little darling, aren't we supposed to be going back? Why are you in my consciousness space?"

"Host, just repeat it to yourself and you can leave."

"Why is it so complicated? I thought I could just go back to reality."

"No, host, we are connecting to your consciousness space, not the real world!"

"All right!"

"Host, points are now being calculated! Please check."

Zuo Qingya looked at the points on the system panel.

"Only 5 points? How come there are so few?"

"That's quite a lot, host."

"5 points? That's quite a lot?"

"Sweetie, I still owe you 3 points! Once you pay me back those 3 points, I'll only have 2 points left."

"Host, we can only accept basic missions now, and that's all the points you can get. Once you level up to advanced, you can accept more advanced missions, and the points will be much higher."

"Oh! Is that so? How many points are needed for advanced missions?"

"Host, the points for advanced missions vary. High-point missions are relatively more dangerous, while low-point missions are relatively less dangerous. Generally, the locations for advanced missions are set by the main system. They are all dangerous places and have time limits. If you fail to complete the mission, the main system will judge it as a failure. If you do well, you will be demoted. If you do poorly, the main system will erase your memory and kick you out of the system space, never to be hired again."

"I see. The main system is pretty good then! It just erases your memories and kicks you out of the system space, never to be used again. It's good that it didn't kill you, it just puts you back in your original life."

"Yes, our main system believes that even if buying and selling cease, benevolence and righteousness will remain."

"Hmm... quite cultured."

"That's right."

Zuo Qingya silently recited "go out" in her mind, and she appeared in front of her computer, the game still continuing...

If it weren't for the sound of Xiao Guai Guai's voice still echoing in her head, Zuo Qingya would have thought she was just having a dream.

So tired, putting games aside, Zuo Qingya just wants to sleep right now.

Zuo Qingya slept for a whole day without feeling hungry, which must be thanks to the nutrient solution.

Zuo Qingya stretched, thankfully she lived alone, otherwise, given her mother's temper, her bottom would have suffered.

I checked the time, it's 1 a.m.? Sigh... it's not even dawn yet, I can still sleep a little longer.

Zuo Qingya drifted off to sleep, and if she hadn't been hungry, she probably would still be lying in bed.

I was thinking of cooking some noodles, but then I remembered the nutrient solution from yesterday, which made me feel very full. Maybe I should plant another nutrient solution.

Zuo Qingya entered the consciousness space, planted the rare seed on the ground, and waited for a long time for the nutrient solution, but instead of the solution, she received a towel.

"Huh? This?"

Zuo Qingya refused to believe in superstition and planted a rare seed with high hopes, but what she grew was still just a towel.

"This isn't a reminder that I should wash my face and brush my teeth first thing in the morning, is it?"

"Host, no need to think anymore, this should be it."

"Planting them one by one is too much trouble. Can we plant them all at once?"

Little Darling touched her virtual chin and said, "Logically, it should be possible."

"What are you waiting for? Let's try and see if it works." With that, Zuo Qingya took out a handful of rare seeds. There was no need to dig a hole; she just scattered them on the ground and covered them with soil.

After the soil was buried, Zuo Qingya saw the amazing sight of objects emerging from the ground.

"It's quite unique, but why are they all towels? Does this mean I have to wash my face and brush my teeth every morning before I can eat anything?" Thinking this, Zuo Qingya left the consciousness space, went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, and then entered the consciousness space again to start farming.

Seeing the nutrient solution in the field, Zuo Qingya was overjoyed. This time it was finally the right thing to do; she could plant more of this kind of good stuff.

Zuo Qingya happily planted another batch and harvested a large amount of nutrient solution.
