Xia Chuohe played games day and night until she died of exhaustion. The bad news: she didn't die completely and transmigrated into the monster-slaying game she was playing before her death – ...
In the afternoon, the mill on the farm was completed.
Xia Chuhe long-pressed and saw the equipment in the mill. As expected of a mill built with 50,000 points, it was fully equipped.
One wheat thresher, one grain dryer, one human-powered/animal-powered stone mill, one mechanical stone mill, and one packaging machine.
With a mill, there's no need to worry about wheat threshing and processing, although harvesting might be a bit troublesome.
Once we've harvested enough wheat and corn, we can grind them into flour and cornmeal in a stone mill, completely solving our staple food problem. We might even be able to make a small profit.
Those 50,000 points were well spent.
...
The countdown to the dungeon ends in 1 day.
The wheat is ripe.
Xia Chuhe was a little anxious because he couldn't dig out the land to harvest wheat.
But before that, she realized a problem—she didn't have a sickle.
Xia Chuhe plans to go to a weapons shop to order some farm tools.
She's also planning to look at houses and such; she needs a private space, otherwise it will be inconvenient to farm in the future.
The trading market has weapon shops, which mainly sell cold weapons.
The base has strict control over firearms, and ordinary shops cannot sell them at will.
The walls of the weapon shop were hung with various knives, spears, swords, axes, and halberds, the styles of which were similar to those Xia Chuhe had seen online.
Xia Chuhe gestured to the shop owner, "I need hoes, rakes, and sickles for tilling the land. Do you have any here?"
"Only the upper class has the equipment for tilling the land." The shopkeeper yawned, thinking that Xia Chuhe was making fun of him.
He had a good temper and explained politely, "If the customer can provide drawings, our shop can customize them."
Xia Chuhe breathed a sigh of relief; she could draw blueprints for commonly used farm tools.
Xia Chuhe drew a diagram on the spot. She didn't need much; she just wanted the three most essential farm tools.
The shop owner glanced at it and saw that it wasn't a complicated item, and the materials needed were common. It could be made today for only 300 points.
With a wave of his hand, the shopkeeper conjured several pieces of refined iron and thick wooden sticks out of thin air, indicating that he was also a space-type user.
The shop owner delivered the materials to the back of the shop, and in less than half an hour, someone delivered the farm tools that Xia Chuhe needed.
Xia Chuhe put away his farm tools and couldn't help but sigh, "Having superpowers is really convenient; I don't even have to bang and clang to shape iron anymore."
There are no factories in the wasteland that can produce harvesters. If only there were evolved humans with superpowers suitable for farming, she would be willing to pay a lot of money to hire them!
...
Back at the hotel, Xia Chuhe received a list from the housekeeper.
The list contains twenty mercenaries protecting Xia Chuhe, with detailed information about each mercenary, including their age, gender, base, organization, and special abilities.
Xia Chuhe opened the list and found two familiar faces—Wang Yan and Qin Sheng.
Xia Chuhe immediately lost his composure. Everyone knows how dangerous the animal world is. How could these two be so greedy for money that they would risk their lives?
As a modern person, Xia Chuhe has seen plenty of things that drive people crazy. This is one of the reasons why she dares to challenge the mental attack instance.
But what do Wang Yan and Lao Qin have in common?
One had fire powers, the other was a medic; they went in and didn't even know how they died.
Xia Chuhe thought for a moment, then sent a message to Wang Yan: "Why didn't you tell me you were going to be in Animal World too?"
Wang Yan chuckled and said, "I'll give you a surprise when we meet tomorrow. Hehe."
It was clearly fright.
Xia Chuhe asked him, "Is it absolutely necessary to go?"
Wang Yan: "You know, Five Star Company gives too much."
Xia Chuhe: ...That makes sense.
Since Wang Yan and Lao Qin were going, she didn't say much. Their relationship hadn't reached that point yet, and saying too much would only annoy people.
...
Xia Chuhe and Lu Dangui arrived at the station where they had agreed to meet the steward. Twenty mercenaries had already arrived there.
The housekeeper rented a large vehicle and a medium-sized vehicle, enough to seat 24 people.
The two cars drove one after the other along the underpass, taking a whole night to reach their destination.
After leaving the station and walking for a while through the yellow sand, Xia Chuhe saw a row of fences erected on the ground, with guards lingering around the fences.
Butler: "The area where the animal world overlaps with the wasteland is quite large, so the authorities have specially fenced it off to prevent people from accidentally wandering in."
Outside the fence, a dozen or so people were scattered around waiting to run a dungeon. Although the animal world is dangerous, there are always those who would rather die than risk their lives for money.
Xia Chuhe unexpectedly spotted a familiar face among the dozen or so people.
Sister Li, who absolutely refused to come a few days ago, is actually here!
The butler also saw Li Yue, but he acted as if he didn't, and continued to instruct everyone: "You must all enter the instance from the same place. The animal world is very large, and different entrances may lead to different areas. The company does not want this to happen."
Finally, I wish you all the best.
The butler stood there silently for a few seconds, then turned and left.
Xia Chuhe moved closer to Li Yue: "Sister Li, what brings you here too?"
Sister Li brushed a stray hair behind her ear: "There's no way around it, the sugar daddy told me to go to the dungeon, I have to come."
Xia Chuhe remembered that Sister Li had said she had connections, so it seemed that she wasn't getting any benefits for nothing. If she wanted to be protected, she had to work hard.
"Shall we go in together?" Xia Chuhe asked.
“Okay!” Sister Li readily agreed and stood in line in front of Xia Chuhe.
As she walked, she revealed something hanging from her waist that was identical to a combat kit produced by Pentagon.
A group of twenty-three people lined up in a row, waiting for the instance to open.
The three hands of the wristwatch all pointed to 12, and several gaps were opened in the fence, allowing different teams to choose different entrances.
Xia Chuhe and his twenty-three men were particularly eye-catching.
Li Yue was at the very front of the line. She stepped over the fence and her figure disappeared in an instant.
Xia Chuhe took a deep breath and followed closely behind.
Xia Chuhe didn't feel much when he first entered the world of ice and snow because it was too rushed.
This time, she finally got to experience what it felt like to enter a dungeon.
It's like passing through a door to another world, where you can smell the fragrance of grass and smell the sweetness of flowers as soon as you get close.
Step in with one foot.
Half of my body was caressed by the gentle breeze, and the other half was pounded by the yellow sand.
Stepping through that gate, everything belonging to the wasteland vanished, and before you lay a school built on a green grassland.
It looks a lot like the sheep village in Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.
The number of people in front of the school gradually increased, but after the twenty-first person entered, the last two people were nowhere to be seen.
The twenty-first person explained, "They might have gone astray."
Suddenly, the quiet school was filled with the sound of a loudspeaker: "Dear students, the cafeteria is now open. Please eat your fill!"
Attracted by the sound, everyone turned to look at the school gate.
Wang Yan, who was standing next to Xia Chuhe, suddenly lunged at Xia Chuhe: "Watch out!"
