Filtering water is also a physical job. You have to scoop water one bucket at a time and then wait for the water to filter down slowly. It is both time-consuming and laborious. However, Lin Man enjoys it. To her, this water is hope. It is the hope for farming in the space, and it is also the hope for her, her mother, the three members of the Wu family, and the survivors in the base.

She looked at the rushing water and thought about asking her mother and the others to come over tomorrow. Staying in the cave wasn't a long-term solution. As for those people in the base...

She looked at the wild vegetable patch and realized that the vegetables there were not enough for anyone to eat.

Lin Man put these thoughts aside and began to pay attention to her physical condition. After taking a breath of spiritual energy, she didn't feel tired at work anymore. Her fever was completely gone, but she still didn't feel anything special about her body. Where was the legendary supernatural power?

She thought again of the incident during the day when she threw tiles and cut the man's face.

No matter how she thought about it, something seemed wrong. It seemed like when she was desperately thinking about "hitting it", the tile suddenly changed its direction.

Lin Man had heard before that scientists divided superpowers into two main categories. One type was called elemental, which was the very cool kind that could spit fire and discharge electricity, and it was also the ability that Lin Man longed for the most.

It is said that nine out of ten people with special abilities are elemental.

The remaining abilities are all classified as special types, which are quite diverse. Some of them include super memory, amazing calculation ability, petrified skin, invulnerability, regenerative ability, and the ability to communicate with animals...

Anyway, according to those people, elemental powers are cool and powerful. They can attack and defend, promote plant growth, produce water to create survival materials, and are particularly useful. However, special powers are mostly useless.

In addition to his healing powers, he can treat injuries and be a very good doctor.

Apart from this, Lin Man knew nothing about superpowers.

The peace base is too isolated from the outside world. People there were all refugees back then. Most of them have witnessed the struggles within humanity and suffered persecution from their compatriots. They are extremely distrustful of the outside world.

In the first five years, zombies were rampant and they had no contact with the outside world. After that, the number of zombies decreased and life stabilized. People became self-sufficient in this mountain and became less concerned about changes in the outside world.

Only a few managers had a radio and could get some information sporadically.

All the knowledge the base has about the outside world comes from here.

At Lin Man's level, what he said was just hearsay.

So now she is just confused.

She picked up a stone and threw it, thinking "turn, turn, turn", but the stone fell to the ground without any effect.

Lin Man threw dozens of stones, thinking about it until his head ached, but no surprise happened.

She sighed in disappointment.

After about an hour, a bucket of water was finally filtered out. It was still a little yellow under the light of the fire. Lin Man really wanted to dive in and take a good bath, but she held back and took the bucket of water into the space.

The chick jumped to the edge of the bucket, took a look, hummed softly, and pointed to a corner with the little wings on its back: "Let's start there."

"Okay." Lin Man lifted the water head and walked to the corner, pouring water on the ground with a bucket of water. The soil was too dry, and the water seeped in immediately. After pouring a bucket of water, only a small area was wet.

Guan Guan excitedly circled the soil and chirped twice: "Can we start planting now?"

Lin Man was also very excited when he saw the small piece of wet soil. He asked Guan Guan, "Where are the seeds?"

"You wait."

Guan Guan ran into the cabin and soon dragged out a large textile bag.

Lin Man took it and it was quite heavy. When he opened it, the first thing he saw was a few big sweet potatoes, a few potatoes, two corn cobs, two apples, and some fruits that Lin Man didn't recognize.

Under these big pieces were a lot of different kinds of seeds mixed together. Lin Man only recognized some red ones as peanuts, some orange ones as corn kernels, some yellow ones as soybeans, and some green and red ones as mung beans and red beans.

Lin Man reached out and grabbed two handfuls, picking out a few grains of millet, but she couldn't tell whether it was rice or wheat. Maybe it was neither?

As for the rest, she couldn't even recognize who was who.

Lin Man was stunned: "So many?!"

Guan Guan said proudly: "I have been collecting them for a long time, and they are all able to be planted."

Lin Man came back to his senses from his shock: "What kind of seeds are these?"

"I don't know."

"Don't know? Didn't you collect this?"

"Just harvest whatever seeds are suitable for planting. No matter what kind they are," Guan Guan said nonchalantly.

Lin Man felt that this was unreliable and suddenly thought of a question: "Do you know how to farm?"

The little white chick gave her a cold look: "Of course - I don't understand, don't I have you?"

It had actually grown things before, but all it had to do was flap its wings and scatter the seeds into the soil, and then the flowers and grass would grow on their own. This was unlike ordinary crops, which not only had to be sown, but also had to be watered, fertilized, weeded, and insects caught, which was extremely troublesome.

Lin felt dizzy. She had thought that in farming, she was just a laborer and this guy would tell her what to do. But now it seemed that she had to rely on herself.

But she had never really farmed before. Regardless of her age or status, she was not qualified to do plantation work. At most, she had helped Grandma Wu grow vegetables.

The two rookies looked at each other in shock. Neither of them had expected the other to be so unreliable.

"Don't you know how to farm?" The little chick jumped up and down.

"Not really." She was just an amateur.

"Then why were you so excited when I told you I wanted to farm?"

"That's because farming itself is exciting! I thought you were the one to lead me in farming."

Both the man and the chicken were speechless.

After a moment of awkwardness, Guan Guan said, "I don't care. You have already signed the contract, and I can't change anyone. You must grow the crops. If you don't know how to grow them, learn quickly. You won't lose out. I only need the spiritual energy generated by the growth of plants, and everything grown is yours." In order to motivate the only and unchangeable contractor to work hard and learn how to farm quickly, the chick promised benefits.

Lin Man was stunned, his voice trembling: "Really? They are all mine?"

"Yeah." The chicken said dejectedly.

Lin Man felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

It was a long time later that she realized that after signing the contract, she was considered half the owner of this space, and any crops she produced originally belonged to her.

This chick doesn't need to eat anything, it only feeds on spiritual energy, so it's useless to take food.

The reason why it didn't tell Lin Man this was that it wanted to keep the food for itself. Yes, this guy doesn't need to eat, but he especially likes to cook all kinds of delicious food, and then use the food to give Lin Man a little bit every day as a salary.

All the food that was given to Lin Manfa before was made by it itself.

But now Lin Man didn't know that this was a particularly dishonest chicken, so she had no idea that she was also a partner. She still regarded herself as an employee, suppressed the vague suspicion, and felt indescribable excitement and gratitude in her heart.

Isn't it just farming? If you don't know how to do it, just learn. Grandma Wu is your teacher.

But Grandma Wu is not needed for the time being. The most commonly grown crops in the base in the past were sweet potatoes and corn. So although she has never grown these two crops herself, she knows the planting process to some extent.

She took out sweet potatoes and corn from her pocket. There were three sweet potatoes with a few buds on the surface that had sprouted, and two corn cobs, both of which were dried.

All very suitable for planting.

She thought for a moment, dug a hole in the moist soil, and buried the sweet potato. Worried about failure the first time, she only buried one. She remembered that sweet potatoes had to grow into seedlings first, then be cut and planted. If successful, one sweet potato could produce many seedlings, and this took about ten days.

Because the soil was already moist, she didn't water it again.

She broke off a few more corns from the cob and buried a few of them some distance away from the sweet potatoes, with each one about ten centimeters apart.

At this time, Lin Man thought again, I need to apply fertilizer. How can it grow well without fertilizer?

Guan Guan said that human feces and urine should not be used as fertilizer, so she tried to find a way to get some humus soil.

Lin Man felt like he was full of life, and quickly left the space to continue filtering water.

Lin Man then poured several buckets of water into the space until the water level in the puddle dropped again. By then, two square meters of soil in the space had been soaked.

She buried some more corn seeds.

"Xiao Man." When they finally had a break, Guan Guan suddenly said, "I was just about to say this."

"What?"

"You seem to stink."

Lin Man: "..." Why are you saying this suddenly? She knows she smells. Isn't it because she doesn't have time to take a shower?

Guan Guan suddenly pulled out a woven bag from the cabin and dumped out a bunch of stuff: "Ding ding ding ding, toiletries, you deserve them!"

Lin Man opened his eyes wide and looked at the pile of things on the ground.

Shower gel, shampoo, soap, soap, towel, toothpaste, toothbrush...

Although she had never been to school, her mother Lin had taught her to read. She picked up the things one by one and looked at them. After seeing their purpose clearly, her eyes lit up.

They are all things that can be washed clean!

"Is this all for me?"

"Three things a day, you forgot."

Lin Man woke up immediately.

If she hadn't been told, she would have almost forgotten that from today onwards - it was already past midnight - she could get three things a day from the manager. This was a benefit after signing the contract, but before the harvest in the fields, she and her mother would still rely on these three things a day for food and drink.

She reluctantly refused these things: "I don't want these, I want to exchange them for food."

Guan Guan's face fell: "Why don't you try it?" It collected these strange things and wanted to see their effects.

"Let's talk about it later. I can't even fill my stomach, so hygiene issues have to be put on the back burner."
