Song Ziyi naturally obeyed her sister's instructions. The siblings spent the entire morning shopping at the department store, buying winter clothes for themselves and their parents. They also bought a lot of cotton fabric for undergarments. She had learned sewing from her roommate in college, so she was quite good at it and could make her own clothes from time to time.
Song Yun fell in love with the ready-made cotton batting at first sight. Although it was more expensive than buying cotton and having someone make it, this kind of ready-made cotton batting was much easier to make. All she had to do was buy some cloth to wrap it and sew it up, and it would be a warm and thick quilt. She had seen an old professor in her village sew one when she was in college, and it was very simple.
There were too many things, and Ziyi was still a child, so she could only help carry a limited amount. She finally gave up the plan of buying four quilts and only bought two. She didn't buy any coarse cloth. This kind of thing would be available even in small supply and marketing stores, so she could buy it later when she found a place.
The brother and sister walked out of the department store with bags full of stuff. Song Yun was always thinking about where to earn star coins so that she could exchange them for a traditional storage grid before leaving Beijing. She wanted to stock up as much supplies as possible so that she wouldn't have to suffer in Heilongjiang Province due to lack of supplies.
She brought the things she bought back to the guesthouse and prepared lunch for Ziyi. She told Ziyi to stay in the room in the afternoon to watch over the things and not to go out, while she went out to do something.
Ziyi always listened to his sister and nodded obediently, "Sister, I will definitely take good care of the things. Please come back soon after you finish your work."
Song Yun noticed the nervousness in the little guy's eyes and touched his head with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. I won't abandon you, ever."
Ziyi's nervousness immediately dissipated, and he nodded vigorously, "Yes, I know."
Song Yun pinched her brother's cute cheeks, told him to bolt the door, and quietly added some low-level nutrient solution to Ziyi's teacup. Then she left the guesthouse and took a bus to the outskirts of Beijing.
Song Yun sat by the window, gazing out at the scenery. The streetscape at that moment passed before her like a series of old photographs. The sky was blue, the houses were either green or gray, and the people's clothes were all a monotonous palette of black, blue, and gray, rarely any other colors. Occasionally, one or two young women would be seen wearing plain, elegant blouses, which would surely attract countless glances and turn heads.
When the bus stopped, Song Yun looked around carefully and guessed that this place should be outside the Second Ring Road decades later.
Who could have imagined that the vast open spaces, wilderness and farmlands before our eyes would be transformed into countless skyscrapers just a few decades later.
After sighing for a while, Song Yun immediately started to work. She found a deserted piece of land, squatted down and began to look for wild grass and vegetables. In order to hide her tracks, she took out a cloth bag bought from the supply store, picked some wild vegetables and put them in it, so that she could explain to someone when she met them later.
Although there are many weeds in the wild, there are only a few varieties. Most of them had been exchanged yesterday. After working hard for half a day, I only earned 45 star coins. Together with the 80 star coins left yesterday, the total is only 125 star coins, which is still a long way from exchanging for storage slots.
"This won't work. We have to think of another way." Song Yun straightened up, looked around with the cloth bag in hand, and saw a forest in the northwest direction in the distance. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately headed towards the forest with the cloth bag in hand.
The picking system picks the animal and plant ecological chain, and wild grasses and vegetables are considered the bottom of the ecological chain, so the exchange value is low, and you can't earn 500 star coins even if you work yourself to death.
Trees have stronger vitality, especially mature trees. They definitely have a high status in the ecological chain and may be able to be exchanged for a lot of star coins.
There are so many trees in the grove, it should be okay if one or two are missing.
The closer we get to the grove, the stronger the pine scent in the air becomes, mixed with a faint hint of cypress. It looks like it should be a pine and cypress forest.
Song Yun looked around and saw no one nearby, so she quickened her pace and went into the pine and cypress forest. After making sure that there was no one in the forest, she raised her left hand and scanned a pine tree about seven or eight meters high.
Subtitles on the light screen: "The scan target is qualified and can be exchanged for 100 star coins."
