The Rookie Returns: Soaring in the Apocalypse

On the brink of the apocalypse, Zuo Ling is brought back to her distant relatives' Ding family and safely survives countless disasters through the chaos.

However, on the verge of death, s...

Chapter 146 is far too bad

The man didn't argue and continued, "I'll take all six packs of noodles."

Zuo Ling realized something was wrong.

After returning from Shuzhou, she rarely went out except to the market, and had never seen what other people's cold-resistant sweet potatoes and potatoes looked like.

She had never seen the sweet potatoes and potatoes grown in the community greenhouses before, nor had she seen them being sold at the market.

The cold-resistant sweet potatoes didn't look as good as the ones used to, and the taste was much worse, so Zuo Ling didn't find them particularly special.

Someone's stealing it? That means the sweet potatoes and potatoes she grows are extraordinary.

"I'll contribute five kilograms of vacuum-packed rice and a bag of noodles."

The first bidder got angry and immediately raised the price.

Although five jin of noodles and five jin of rice are the same weight, rice is always more valuable than noodles in the exchange market.

In the end, twenty pounds of sweet potatoes were exchanged for five pounds of vacuum-packed rice, plus a bag of noodles.

They took everything, but there were still quite a few people surrounding Zuo Ling.

"Miss, do you have any more? When will you come back to exchange them?"

"Young lady, we have no vegetables at home, and my child is crying for them. Could you give me two pounds instead?"

“Hey girl, look, we’ve been setting up stalls together and even chatted together. Can you give us a special favor?”

"..."

Zuo Ling fled in panic.

She didn't go home; instead, she went to the community greenhouse to find Researcher Tang.

Professor Jin earned a large number of contribution points on the perpetual motion arm, and Researcher Tang also earned a high number of contribution points by guiding people in the community to do planting. The elderly couple no longer need to set up a stall at the market to exchange for firewood.

According to the people who set up stalls with her, Professor Jin comes to sell bean sprouts once every ten days or so, but Zuo Ling has never run into him.

Researcher Tang happened to be there. He was very happy to see her and greeted her from afar: "Xiao Zuo, I haven't seen you come downstairs all day. What brings you here to see me today?"

"Aunt Tang, are your sweet potatoes and potatoes ripe yet? I'd like to see them."

"Oh, this."

Researcher Tang frowned:

"Sigh, we've planted two crops already. They say it's a cold-resistant variety, but I think the technology isn't mature enough, and the growth is far from ideal. Look."

Researcher Tang showed Zuo Ling several dark, wrinkled lumps of mud.

Before seeing it, I thought it was at most slightly inferior to what her space produced. But after seeing the real thing, I realized it's far inferior!

The produce from this space is far superior to that from those grown in the community greenhouse, whether in terms of size, smoothness, or fullness.

Sweat beaded on her forehead, but thankfully she hadn't taken out much, so she could still manage to cover it up.

Otherwise, it will be a huge problem.

After returning home, she told Pei Nansheng about the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Pei Nansheng was focused on her and Xiao Hao's training and didn't pay attention to the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

When Zuo Ling cooked it for them, he thought everyone's crops were the same, but he never expected they would be different.

He said, "Don't go to the market recently. Once things calm down, it will all pass."

Before the matter had even settled down, Professor Jin and his wife arrived at their door right after dinner that evening.

Knowing that Zuo Ling didn't want to get too involved with them, the two elders had never visited before, but this time they had no choice but to come.

"Young lady, I heard you were selling cold-resistant sweet potatoes and potatoes at the market today. Do you still have any? Let me see what they look like."

Researcher Tang wondered why Zuo Ling was acting strangely today. Later, he heard that someone was selling cold-resistant sweet potatoes and potatoes at the market, and they looked very appealing.

Zuo Ling was so famous in the Noah's Ark community that many people knew her and quickly found out about her.
