Chapter 39 Time Passes
Who cares? At least I’ve fulfilled my wish. I don’t have to worry about poor communication with Xiaolan anymore!
"Hahaha, that's great, this trip is really worth it!"
Qin Zhiyu happily picked up Xiaolan and gently rubbed its forehead.
Qin Zhiyu rushed to the shelter with an eagerness to share his joy with 007.
"Xiao Lan, will my dusty appearance scare 007? It has probably never seen me like this before."
There was a lively excitement on Qin Zhiyu's thin face.
"Master, look at how much time has passed. We have been in the ruins for quite some time. We may be heading for the next natural disaster soon." The kitten spoke softly and gently.
"You're right, I had forgotten about this." Qin Zhiyu was so absorbed in the realization of his long-awaited wish that he didn't think about the issue of time.
3 days!
Today is the 6th day of the natural disaster!
Qin Zhiyu was shocked by the time displayed on the natural disaster system. The time was neither long nor short, but when you think about it carefully, there are many things to it.
She and Xiaolan had already eaten the three cubic meters of water, bread, steamed buns, biscuits, milk, and raw meat prepared for Xiaolan that 007 had stored for them.
It would normally take quite some time to finish so much food, at least a week. But only three days have passed, which is obviously too short.
Qin Zhiyu wondered if he and Xiaolan were still in some special state after leaving the ruins, and that only after leaving the snow-capped mountains could they completely escape from that strange place where the flow of time was different.
"It's okay, there are still three days left. Let's go back quickly. 007 must be getting anxious."
Qin Zhiyu ignored this strange reason and rushed to the shelter first.
"Okay, master." Xiaolan said softly.
When others hear Xiaolan's voice, do they think it is a meow or a human voice? The cat's physiological structure cannot make such a sound. Qin Zhiyu wondered how natural disasters affect the vocal cords?
Or maybe the natural disaster acts as a converter. In any case, it can quickly update information if there are any changes in personal attributes and shelters.
While thinking, Qin Zhiyu took out his bicycle and rode Xiaolan to the shelter. Although there was a lot of mud on the road, most of it was flat and they could ride on the muddy ground without rain.
She couldn't use the bicycle at all in the ruins. There were so many stones and sand on the mudflats that her butt would shake apart if she rode the bicycle.
This is the first time Qin Zhiyu has ridden a bicycle for such a long time. He used to drive to work, so there was no need to ride a bicycle and he didn't have this hobby.
"Ding-ling-ling~" the familiar sound of the brake bell of an old bicycle.
"We are back 007!" Qin Zhiyu said with a smile, his eyes shining with stars.
007: Master Zhiyu, you are back. You have been away for quite a long time this time.
"Yes, I'm back. I'm so hungry. Is there anything to eat?" Qin Zhiyu had been riding a bicycle for almost an hour. It was past two o'clock in the afternoon and she was really hungry and thirsty.
007: Some owners have freshly prepared meals.
"It's just been done. How did you know I would come back at this time?" Qin Zhiyu said as he walked into the house.
007: Because I prepare meals at mealtime every day. If you don’t come back, I will replace the meals with supplies to avoid waste.
"Okay, that's good, thank you 007."
Qin Zhiyu felt warm in his heart. Perhaps this was what made friends so heartwarming, especially 007. The details it could achieve were simply beyond words.
She smelled the aroma of the food, held back her anger, and drank a small bowl of meatball soup.
She decided to take a shower before eating. She was so dirty after traveling so much these past few days that she felt like she smelled bad.
Qin Zhiyu took the time to open his shelter message while eating.
I haven’t had time to check the construction value gained in the past few days, so I don’t know the current situation of the shelter.
[You have entered the sixth day of the Calamity Calendar, and have gained a total of 3815 construction points]
…
[You are 7135/10000 away from the Level 2 Shelter]
…
Qin Zhiyu looked at the message records and summarized the situation of the shelter in the past few days.
Maybe it’s because she is not in the shelter, so there haven’t been any major changes in the shelter recently, only some of the shelter’s guaranteed construction values.
She observed the construction value of the shelter and found that there was a certain pattern.
One is to survive a natural disaster. Every day that passes will increase a certain amount of construction value. The specific increase depends on whether it is a natural disaster day or an ordinary day. If it is an ordinary day, the increase will be relatively small.
In addition, the more resources flow every day, the more the corresponding construction value increases.
Some people may want to use this to increase their construction value. First, there must be sufficient circulating resources, and the trading channel will charge a proportional fee.
If this is used to improve the level of the shelter, it is fine if the difference in construction value is not too big. However, if the difference is much, it is better to use the resources where they are needed most. In this way, the overall strength of the shelter will be improved faster.
In addition, the functional areas of the room will have corresponding construction value increases every day. The more advanced and comprehensive the functional areas are, the more construction value will be increased.
Another thing to consider is the comfort of the shelter. A decorated shelter is definitely more valuable than a bare-bones one. A shelter with fine configuration is definitely more valuable than one that is just painted.
"007, if you see any furniture or appliances that we can use but don't have, we can trade them."
Qin Zhiyu thought of this and said.
"This will increase our construction value. Even if it's small, it's still meat. Over time, we'll definitely accumulate a lot of construction value, and living here will be more comfortable."
007: I have thought about this issue. Currently, I am trading in small parts, cushions, cups, tableware, etc., and I have purchased washing machines and dryers as electrical appliances.
"Okay, if there's anything suitable, let's trade directly. By the way, are our bicycles available for sale?"
Qin Zhiyu suddenly remembered that she and Xiaolan were planning to open the provincial shelter channel before going out, but it was delayed for so many days.
007: Master Zhiyu, I have already stockpiled the bicycles and gathered all the supplies. I am just waiting for you to come back to open the provincial trading channel.
"Okay, then I'll open it now." Qin Zhiyu took the last bite of food, wiped his mouth and said.
007: Okay, Master Zhiyu.
While Qin Zhiyu was eating, 007 had been observing her silently, and his dull eyes became a little more lively than before.
Looking at the emaciated Qin Zhiyu 007 felt inexplicably strange. It was the same indescribable process as last time, or rather, a process that had never happened before.
007 still couldn't figure it out. The first time was a coincidence, but the second time required serious consideration.
It decided to pay more attention to the chat records in this regard when it was spying on the TV next time, and to read some books on the subject, which were very cheap anyway during natural disasters.
That's right, 007 sometimes uses public funds for personal purposes, such as trading some books of interest, trading some pieces of metal, or buying a set of ornaments that he thinks Qin Zhiyu will like.
However, it will not discuss the details with Qin Zhiyu, not because it is arbitrary, but because it is confident that it understands Qin Zhiyu's preferences in life well enough.
