Chapter 65 The Village is in Chaos, Does the Streamer Really Treat People Differently? ...
I was careless.
Upon seeing that the safe house could be enlarged and shrunk, Lu Xuan subconsciously thought of capsule products from a classic cartoon he watched as a child. Without much thought, he threw the house out, but unexpectedly…
Looking at the villa in front of him, Lu Xuan murmured, "It seems the correct way to use X is to put the house on the ground before activating it."
Thinking to himself that he should be more careful next time, Lu Xuan strolled to the front door and grabbed the doorknob. At the same time, a gentle yet slightly mechanical female voice came from the door.
[Welcome to the 6th generation safe house manufactured by Star Alliance Shining Glory Technology Co., Ltd. First-time users, please set up authentication information.]
Following the voice navigation, Lu Xuan set up his pupil and palm print password and other information. After everything was set up, the door finally opened, and the layout of the villa came into view.
Lu Chen, who had been quite interested just a moment ago, fell silent as he looked at the empty interior.
"..."
Upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem strange at all.
Star Alliance gave away a house, but didn't say they would also give away furniture and appliances.
The overall decor of this safe house is similar to modern style, but some technological decorations and utensils can be found in the details, such as the energy tank for energy stones in the entrance hall, and the control panel for all electronic products in the control room.
Although Lu Xuan owned several villas before the apocalypse, safe houses from the Star Alliance are still quite different.
After touring all three floors, Lu Xuan began decorating the safe house.
Besides placing the furniture obtained from the blind boxes in suitable locations, you can buy the missing pieces directly from the store.
Lu Xuan was never one to compromise himself. With the achievement of reaching 100% fan status, a new batch of products was unlocked in the store. He quickly tapped his fingers, specifically choosing high-quality furniture and appliances to buy. In the blink of an eye, he had spent more than 50,000 points.
He also installed one of the two amethyst air conditioners he won in a specific location.
After arranging the furniture, Lu Xuan inserted a primary energy stone into the energy tank, turned on the air conditioner via the control panel, and within seconds, the temperature inside the safe house noticeably dropped.
The energy bar also displays the safe house's real-time energy consumption, along with a detailed description of the energy consumption.
One basic energy stone can keep a safe house running for a week, an intermediate energy stone can last for three months, and one advanced energy stone is enough for a year.
Of course, if all kinds of electrical appliances are used at the same time, the energy consumption will be even higher, roughly doubling the amount mentioned above.
Having learned everything he needed to know, Lu Xuan walked out of the villa and pressed the close button.
The huge villa, along with its furniture, was reduced to the size of a palm.
Incidentally, once there are living people inside, the safe house cannot be closed; the Covenant's technology has not yet advanced to the point where it can shrink living beings.
Satisfied with his curiosity, Lu Xuan returned home.
However, upon arriving at Giant Wood Square, they discovered that it was in complete chaos.
The square, which was dark when I went out, was now brightly lit. The villagers, who had been asleep, had all gathered in the square, shouting in panic.
"Run! Pack your bags!"
"Where are you running to in the dead of night? Do you want to be eaten by jackals and tigers?"
"Don't panic! There are trees and rocks everywhere in the mountains. At least there's nothing that could fall on you in the square. It's safer to stay here!"
"Keep a close eye on the children and make sure they don't run around!"
The children were terrified by the adults' panic and cried loudly. Lu Qing and Lei Yan frantically called out Lu Xuan's name in the crowd. In short, the scene was quite chaotic.
Lu Xuan belatedly realized that the tremors when the safe house landed had not only startled the animals in the mountains, but also terrified the villagers who had recently experienced a major earthquake.
Seeing that Lu Qing and Lei Yan wanted to go out to look for him, Lu Xuan immediately walked out of the dark woods.
"Ah Xuan is there!" Lei Yan was the first to spot him, and the village chief, who had been somewhat panicked after learning that Lu Xuan was missing, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Several people nervously gathered around.
Before they could speak, Lu Xuan took the initiative to reassure them, saying, "Don't worry, there was no earthquake. The tremors I caused earlier were accidental. Everyone, there's no need to be nervous. This area of the mountain is safe until the extreme heat catastrophe ends."
Hearing his words, the panicked villagers finally calmed down a bit. After confirming that it really was him who caused it and that it wasn't an earthquake, they relaxed while still complaining.
"And you, what are you doing up in the middle of the night? Trying to scare people to death?"
"Exactly! I thought there was another earthquake! People can scare each other to death, you know that!" Chen Rong, who had a bad temper, cursed. "If something serious happens because of this, can you afford to pay for it?"
"Alright, alright, stop complaining." Li Tie stopped the villagers who were still complaining. "If it wasn't a real earthquake, then we're lucky. It's getting late, go back to sleep."
The villagers didn't really have much of a problem with Lu Xuan.
Being startled awake while sleeping soundly inevitably leaves a bit of resentment, but once you've vented, the matter is over.
After being slapped on the head by Aunt Chen as usual, Chen Rong reluctantly shut his mouth.
The villagers, now relaxed, quickly started yawning. They had a lot to do tomorrow, and no energy left to continue their antics. After calming the still-crying children, they went back to sleep one after another.
However, after Lu Qing returned to the small cave, she asked Lu Xuan with a stern face, "Why did you go out in the middle of the night? It's so dangerous..."
Thinking of her younger brother's abilities, she changed her mind halfway through, saying, "Even if it's not dangerous, you can't just go out without saying a word! Don't you know we'll worry!"
Lu Xuan thought to himself, "If it weren't for this unexpected incident today, you wouldn't even know if I went parkour in the mountains and came back."
But seeing the identical concern on Lu Qing and Lei Yan's faces, and Lu Chen clinging tightly to his clothes with eyes as red as a rabbit's, he could only say, "I'll be more careful next time."
Lu Qingqi, you'll do it again?!
Lu Qing was about to continue her lecture when Lei Yan grabbed her hand before she could even speak.
Lei Yan shook his head at her imperceptibly.
Lu Qing paused slightly, sighed inwardly, and said helplessly, "Anyway, you need to be careful and don't worry us, okay?"
The couple had discussed Lu Xuan quite a bit in private. They both knew that Lu Xuan was no longer the ignorant and naive boy he used to be. He had his own things to do, and even his family probably couldn't interfere too much.
But as her own siblings, how could she possibly abandon them?
Lu Xuan nodded: "Okay."
Lei Yan smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, since everything's alright, go to sleep early. We still have a lot of work to do tomorrow."
Lu Xuan took out the remaining amethyst air conditioner from his spatial storage. "This is my new air conditioner. It'll be more comfortable to sleep with it on." He then magnetically attached the air conditioner to the stone wall of the main room, installed the energy stone, and turned it on.
A gentle breeze quickly swept through the entire cave.
Feeling the rapid drop in temperature around them, the three members of the Lu family exclaimed in surprise, "How refreshing!"
Lu Qing couldn't help but wonder if he had done something for the gods when he went out tonight, and that's why the gods rewarded him?
In any case, with the air conditioning on, the already not-so-hot cave became even cooler, and the Lu family slept more comfortably that night than before.

Unlike data coupons, you can't choose when a recommendation slot is displayed.
Therefore, as soon as Lu Xuan started his live stream the next morning, the number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed, quickly surpassing yesterday's peak and reaching over six million in a short time, and it was still increasing rapidly.
Some of the new fans came from the recommendation slots, but many others were attracted by his special abilities, and the comments section was filled with questions about the type of Lu Xuan's abilities.
However, once the meal started, neither new nor old fans had time to ask these questions.
All viewers in the live stream: What are you asking? The delicious food is here, hurry up and grab it!!!
Today, the Lu family's breakfast is rice mixed with lard.
Sprinkle sesame seeds, chopped green onions, diced cured pork, and diced sausage on top of the white, steamed rice cooked in a wooden bucket. Add a large spoonful of freshly made lard from yesterday, drizzle with soy sauce, and mix well. A bowl of fragrant lard rice is ready.
The side dishes consisted of only pan-fried fish fillets and cold pig's ear salad. It looked simple, but the rice mixed with lard alone was enough to make everyone's mouths water.
Lu Qing and Lu Chen each showed off a large bowl of bibimbap, Lei Yan ate two bowls, and Lu Xuan... ate a whole basin as usual.
The comments section was even more chaotic, with viewers raving about how delicious it smelled. Millions of people across the Star Alliance planets and cities were making sounds like pigs were eating.
Live stream viewers: Aww, it smells so good! Pork lard rice is the best!!!
New viewers exclaimed: "Do you longtime fans eat this well every day? How come I didn't discover this treasure trove of a live stream sooner!"
The longtime viewers fell silent.
No, there really isn't.
They're only enjoying it for one more day.
It's all tears when I talk about it; the anchor is getting stabbed in the back!!!
After the meal, the helpers quickly took their places, and a new day of busy work soon began.
Today, besides pickling the large fish we got yesterday and the previous days to make smoked fish, our main task is to make pasta dishes.
The batch of steamed buns and pies we bought in Fucheng has been mostly used up, so today is a good day to replenish our stock.
The new audience was somewhat disappointed.
[So, we won't be able to see the streamer use wind-based abilities today?]
【No way! I heard from a long-time fan that you bought over a thousand pigs, and you only processed a hundred yesterday. Are you ordering another hundred today?】
[Exactly! We gained so many new followers and online users today, consider this a bonus for our new followers!]
Longtime viewers scoffed at the word "perks," thinking that expecting any perks from this streamer was just wishful thinking.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan said, "Want to see wind-type abilities? Sure."
Longtime viewers: ? ? ?
What's going on? Are these dog streamers really treating people differently?
So what? New fans are treated like angels, while the old fans are treated like stepchildren?!
Fortunately, Lu Xuan quickly said, "To see wind-type abilities, you don't necessarily need to grind meat; you can use it to process rice and flour."
The veteran viewers, who were about to unleash a torrent of profanities, paused slightly.
Hmm? Not minced meat?
Well... let's see what new tricks the streamer is up to before deciding whether to start criticizing.
Lu Xuan took out several dozen bags of grain and said, "I have exchanged more than 7,000 catties of coarse rice and coarse flour with the villagers. My family does not eat coarse grains, so today's noodles will be made with processed refined rice and flour."
During the processing of coarse grains, wind-based superpowers come in handy.
[Is the streamer going to process all 7,000-plus kilograms of food today?]
Lu Xuan shook his head: "Process half of it first. We can finish the rest later when we have time."
What do ordinary people need to process coarse grains? A stone mortar, a stone mill, and a stone pestle.
Lu Xuan was different; he could process rice and flour with just his hands.
Just like yesterday, he first poured the rice and flour from the bag into an empty plastic box, then channeled his supernatural power into the box, and the rice and flour immediately began to churn wildly.
