On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Cheng Ruyi thought she would sleep until noon, but her established biological clock woke her up early in the morning. Looking at the sky just beginning to brighten, she suddenly felt a complicated mix of emotions...
However, since she rarely had anything to do in the morning, she could take the time to organize the system's gift packs and think about her plans for the year.
After all, when she completed her December check-in yesterday, the system gave her a "surprise":
"【Mother and Child Talisman】, Tier 1, Low Grade. There is one Mother Talisman and one Child Talisman. When both people wear them at the same time, the person holding the Mother Talisman can sense the location of the person holding the Child Talisman."
How to use: Wear it close to your body and activate it with spiritual energy.
Target audience: Living intelligent humanoid beings.
Scope of application: Within 100 li (approximately 50 kilometers) of each other.
To be honest, Cheng Ruyi wasn't happy at all when she received this gift package. According to the system's characteristics, the items it gives you are things you'll definitely need someday. The fact that she received an item with such special functions meant that someone important to her would definitely be in danger.
During the Lunar New Year, it's one thing for the system not to give her any blessings or red envelopes, but it also suddenly sends a warning. If she hadn't experienced so much lately, she would definitely be so bothered that she couldn't sleep.
After receiving this item yesterday, she actually spent the whole day thinking about who should receive this "child talisman".
In terms of self-defense capabilities, the children are definitely the weakest; if something happens to them, they will have almost no ability to resist.
The youngest child, Cheng Mande, is about one year old. He has just learned to stand up and can't even walk a few steps. He is always within Lin Xiaoman's sight. Moreover, the child is very well-behaved and obedient, so there is basically no possibility of him getting lost while playing.
Compared to her grandson, she was more worried about the two sisters, Yun'an and Yunle, especially the younger Yunle.
It wasn't that she was biased, but rather that Yun'an had always been meticulous, cautious, and very reliable, while Yun Le was naive and trusting, completely trusting of everyone and extremely careless. Although she had instilled in her younger daughter the importance of being wary of others, it didn't seem to have much effect so far...
Therefore, if it were a question of which of the two sisters would need "Zifu" more, Cheng Ruyi felt it would be Cheng Yunle.
Of course, it's not entirely impossible for other people to get into trouble. Just to be on the safe side, she specifically reminded everyone to be careful during this period, not to walk alone outside, and to always go in groups of two or three.
In particular, the two sisters, in addition to having the Tao family sisters play with them, also invited Meng Daya. The five girls of similar age could play together and take care of each other, killing two birds with one stone.
The Cheng family members were used to following her arrangements and accepted them without any objection.
Thinking back to the petty thieves she encountered during the lockdown, Cheng Ruyi guessed that if there were any unexpected dangers in the future, the system would definitely issue a task and give an early warning, just like before. In this way, as long as you are prepared, you will still have enough time to react.
Ultimately, she would deal with whatever came her way, and her family had changed drastically since a year ago. Besides, she had so many life-saving items on hand!
As of today, the system has given 15 Bigu Pills and 2 Meridian Nourishing Pills, but none of the Spirit Nourishing Pills have been given away to the Spirit Field.
In the latter half of last year, the food problem was solved after the lockdown was lifted, so there was basically no need for fasting pills. As a result, there was a relatively large surplus of fasting pills compared to other types of pills. However, even with a large surplus, it would not be enough in case of an emergency, so it is still necessary to stock up on some occasionally.
Because of its targeted effects, the Nourishing Meridian Pill has always been in demand. For example, it is used to nourish Xiaoman and Liuer, and to regulate the bodies of the Wind Chaser Rabbit and Phoenix Tail Chicken. If there is no alternative pill, the consumption will likely remain at this level. Otherwise, we will have to wait until Jade Marrow Rice is mass-produced.
As for the remnants of the Spirit Gathering Pill, they are an even scarcer resource. She usually uses up all of them, but it is precisely because she used up all the Spirit Gathering Pills that the vegetable field was able to become a spirit field. In order to ensure that the spiritual energy of the spirit field meets the standard, she cannot be stingy with them in the future.
In addition to these three fixed sign-in gift packs, there are also several special gift packs, starting with the item type:
A Tier 1 Low-Grade Invisibility Talisman, an essential item for survival. I currently have two left. If you're really in a life-or-death situation, you can give them to your family members. After all, survival is the highest priority. You can just find an excuse to explain later.
The first-grade low-level peach wood sword is a powerful weapon capable of breaking through ordinary iron. She always carries it with her, so this item is not very useful to the children.
A first-tier, low-grade concealment array, a life-saving artifact for the group, but unfortunately it cannot completely surround the entire courtyard.
A first-grade low-grade water-repelling bead has a very wide range of uses, and if used well, it can be a very powerful artifact.
Then there are the plant and animal types:
The seeds of the first-grade low-level Crimson Thorn have been planted outside the courtyard wall. After a period of time, they will grow into a natural guard around the courtyard. In addition, she also specially left a pot of mature Crimson Thorn in case of emergency. She can take out the poisonous thorns and carry them with her at any time, which is better than nothing.
The first-tier low-grade Wind Chaser Rabbits have been bred very successfully. The next step is to continue expanding the number of rabbits bred. Currently, the rabbits sold to Zhiwei Restaurant are mostly mixed-breeds, while purebreds also produce a litter every month. These high-quality rabbits are naturally kept for personal consumption or given as gifts to relatives and friends. As for Manager Huang, he doesn't seem to have noticed the difference yet. If he does discover it in the future, he can say that he has bred two different qualities of rabbits, and he might sell them if the price is right.
The breeding of the Tier 1 Low-Grade Phoenix Chicken is currently only half successful. I don't know if it's a problem with the Phoenix Chicken's bloodline or its personality, but the Golden Phoenix can only successfully breed with two old hens, and the breeding success rate is only 50%, which results in a small number of Phoenix Chicken chicks. There is no solution to this problem at present, so we can only continue to raise them carefully.
The first-grade low-quality jade marrow rice has not yet been planted. It is estimated that the seedlings can only be started when the weather is warmer. According to the spiritual energy content of the low-grade spiritual field, if everything goes smoothly, there will be a harvest by the end of the year, and then the planting can be expanded next year.
In addition, there is also a bottle of Tier 1 low-grade spiritual spring water. I got one bottle in July and another in November. Both times I got it from the monthly gift pack. I guess the monthly gift pack is similar to the ten-day gift pack. They both have a fixed number of items and then send them out randomly. Of course, there is not much data to refer to at the moment. I need to try it a few more times to summarize the pattern.
Thanks to the hard work of the whole family last year, the Cheng family's business has developed rapidly. The furniture shop's income has soared from three taels to thirty taels per month. With other income, the profit in the twelfth lunar month has reached as high as seventy taels of silver. However, many factors have affected this month, and it is estimated that it will not last long.
Even so, the monthly income of thirty or forty taels was something the Cheng family had never dared to dream of before.
Moreover, as the farms around the villa gradually expand, it is estimated that one hundred taels per month should not be too much of a problem, thus the financial situation is basically guaranteed.
