Chapter 19

"Yes, boss, can we find a job here?"

“We are not hiring at the moment.”

Mingzhu said again: "I forgot to hang up the task notification block."

The infrastructure system itself could recycle all resources and exchange them for Starlight Coins. Mingzhu only needed to buy a few recycling bins at the Inter-Spacetime Trading Market and have guests drop their belongings into them. He could then pay the high price quoted by the subsystem.

Thinking of this, Mingzhu began to search for the prices of recycling bins.

Very good, not expensive, 100 Starlight Coins each, just enough to buy two Mingzhu.

In fact, it is a loss to buy it now. If you wait until 12 o'clock midnight, there will be a 3-minute flash sale, where you can find trash cans selling it at a 10% discount.

Unfortunately, this is a matter of probability. After all, the midnight special mainly sells various grain seeds, fruit tree seedlings and aquatic seedlings.

Recycling bins may or may not be available for purchase.

Mingzhu placed two trash cans, one on each side of the door, and explained how to redeem Starlight Coins through the recycling bins for collectible resources.

Qin Mingyue and Yu Xiaowan discussed it and decided to go out to find resources for exchange. But before going out, Qin Mingyue asked if there would be any rewards if they introduced customers.

Mingzhu shook his head, indicating that he was very stingy.

"You two have seen the current state of the Taoyuan Inn. I just built it, and there are only nine rooms in the inn, which can accommodate 14 people at most. If there are fewer guests, it can barely accommodate them. If there are more guests, where will they stay?"

"Let's set up a tent." Yu Xiaowan said.

Mingzhu: “…”

"The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuchs are." Mingzhu muttered, and without caring about their reactions, he went to plant crops on the 10 plots of farmland that he had reclaimed yesterday.

They were all basic crops: wheat, corn, and sweet potatoes. I wanted to buy potatoes, but they didn't have any.

I bought 50 grams, which was enough to plant three portions of wheat seeds, three portions of corn seeds, three portions of sweet potato seeds and three portions of chili seeds in a field.

The flower of the pepper plant is the horn pepper. It is not spicy and can be used as a condiment or as a vegetable.

The price is more expensive than basic grains.

Wheat still matures in 5 days, corn, sweet potatoes and peppers mature in 7 days.

"I forgot to collect the food."

Mingzhu remembered and hurried back to his residence to collect the harvest from the four fields.

The result has been collected.

After asking 184, I found out that it was the Maomao Engineering Team that made the great contribution again.

It turns out that the virtual cat engineering team can not only build houses, but also help harvest the crops that the host has sown but forgotten to harvest.

Mingzhu gave a thumbs-up and praised it. "Very good."

"Host, we need a millstone." 184 reminded.

"Oh, yes, we forgot to build the stone mill." Mingzhu thought about it and simply built a stone mill outside his residence.

The stone mill is very beautiful and full of traditional ancient charm. The only drawback is that it cannot be ground with a single click, and can only be done manually and mechanically, so the grain can only be ground the same way it is ground in reality.

"That's fine."

Mingzhu clicked his tongue twice and put the harvested rice into the stone mill to grind it.

The speed was still quite fast, but after Mingzhu crushed it for a while, he felt that he was worse than cattle and horses, so he simply left it aside.

At the same time, Qin Mingyue and Yu Xiaowan, who left the "Taoyuan Base", originally planned to go to the abandoned factory in City X to look for recyclable resources in exchange for Starlight Coins.

Yu Xiaowan's sense of direction was extremely strong at this moment.

The two successfully arrived at the ruins of City X. Just as they were about to collect resources, they saw several carrot heads crawling out from the ruins.

Qin Mingyue: “???”

Yu Xiaowan: “…”

"Child, there is actually a child."

"Is this strange?"

"A living child."

"This isn't a living child. Could it be a zombie child?"

"Don't make a fuss, it's just a living child!"

Qin Mingyue took a deep breath and tried to appear amiable. "Kids, why are you hiding here? Where are your companions?"

"Companions? What companions? Sister, are you referring to the PLA uncles in green uniforms?"

"Are there still troops stationed in City X?"

“Always.”

Although the children were dirty, they were in good spirits and did not have the so-called "end of the world syndrome" or feel afraid of seeing people.

She was quite talkative and answered many questions that Qin Mingyue hadn't asked. A few children later asked Qin Mingyue and Yu Xiaowan what they were doing here.

"If you're looking for food, there's none here!"

"No, we are looking for resources." Yu Xiaowan and Qin Mingyue looked at each other and told him that they were staying at the Taoyuan Inn and were going to pick up resources, exchange the resources for Starlight Coins, and stay at the Taoyuan Inn for a long time.

The more the children listened, the brighter their eyes became.

"Big sister, can we go?" a child asked impatiently. "We are good at picking up trash."

Picking up resources is equivalent to picking up garbage!

Qin Mingyue and Yu Xiaowan looked at each other again.

Agreed to the kid's request.

To be honest, the stingy boss probably anticipated that their going out would attract new customers, so he did not organize any activities to "bring new customers to old customers".

Oh! Missed out on 100 million.

Qin Mingyue and Yu Xiaowan were deeply saddened.

"You have special abilities, right?" Yu Xiaowan asked the little brothers.

The tallest of the children nodded and said, "We all have special abilities. If we didn't have them, we would have died long ago even with the protection of the PLA uncles."

This is the truth!

In the doomsday world, if ordinary people don’t have special powers, even if they can survive, their lives will be extremely difficult.

Although the kids looked dirty, they were in good spirits, which showed that they were living a pretty good life.

Although they couldn't catch up with Qin Mingyue and Yu Xiaowan, one of them had a super affinity with mutant plants, and the other had a super sense of direction, so they never made any mistakes in their "escape and treasure hunt".

The two of them worked together, and despite having to be careful of the mutated animals, they completely crushed the enemy along the way. Even in times of danger, Qin Mingyue could use her supernatural powers to bribe the mutated plants to act as her bodyguards.

The two were safe, but not that safe.

"By the way, where are the PLA uncles you mentioned?" After agreeing to a few kids, Qin Mingyue asked a very important question.

Since there are still troops stationed in City X, there must be soldiers here. If possible, Qin Mingyue hopes that the "Taoyuan Inn" they "discovered" will become a paradise for the end of the world.

Although everything has just begun, Qin Mingyue feels that such a day will come soon.

"The PLA uncles are in University Town," the tallest kid replied. "The PLA uncles have eliminated all the zombies in University Town, and then used University Town as a temporary base to search for survivors in City X."

This statement actually matched the newly built base mentioned by the family of five that Mingzhu had first encountered. It was just that it had originally been a suburban gymnasium, but how did the kid brother describe it as a university town?

Although Qin Mingyue and Yu Xiaowan were not aware of Mingzhu, they had met a family of five before the construction of the "Taoyuan Base" and even escorted them to the base.

But Yu Xiaowan's intuition told her that the so-called PLA uncle was not in the university town at all.

"Children, don't lie!" Yu Xiaowan said solemnly, "Sister didn't lie to you. The 'Taoyuan Inn' we were talking about really exists. It's just newly built and there's no advertising. It's normal that you don't know about it."
