Chapter 118 Let’s Stay Up All Night Together
When Zeng Laotou heard his grandson's words, he felt very relieved and said, "I will be relieved if you live a good life."
His biggest wish now is to save enough money while he is alive so that the child won't have to worry about money when he is gone.
Groups of professional residents passed by them, including young ordinary residents.
Tang Yi remembered that Uncle Zhuang was a professional resident and was not in the city at the moment.
"An An, will your father also go to climb the tree to pick fruit?" Tang Yi asked An An who was standing next to him.
"That's right. I'm just afraid those monsters will come suddenly." She just hoped that her father would come back soon.
Tang Yi was very sensible. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he touched her head like a brother. He had seen Uncle Zhuang touch An An's head like this before, and An An would smile every time.
Sure enough, after he comforted her like this, An An smiled at him.
Seeing so many people outside, some ordinary residents who were originally worried about the attack of wild geese and wild monsters felt relieved. They thought that if they went out to collect food, even if the wild monsters really came, those professional residents would not ignore them.
In this way, the fields outside the city also became lively, and everyone came out together to collect. Although a large number of wild monsters were about to arrive, there was no tense atmosphere in the city. Instead, it was as lively as a festival.
Tang Yi watched as others went out to collect vegetables, and he also wanted to go out and do something. He shook Old Man Zeng's hand and said, "Grandpa, I want to go out and pick vegetables too."
They had enough food stored, and most of the excess was sold cheaply to professional residents they knew, so they only picked vegetables this time.
Old Man Zeng looked at the two children and knew they wanted to do something for the family, but he still refused. "No, there are enough vegetables at home. You should stay in the city for the next few days and don't let Grandpa and your Uncle Zhuang worry."
The two children looked at each other and nodded.
Autumn is coming to an end. During this time, the residents of Xuantian City have stored a lot of food. Going out to pick more now will also make people feel at ease.

The lively fruit picking activity did not end until the evening, and only a few people returned to the city.
Lin Zuo and Dou Fanrong each picked over ten thousand tempering fruits this afternoon, which would be enough for them to use for a long time.
It was almost dark, and their team gathered together, with other teammates talking about their gains.
A fat teammate leaned on his teammate's shoulder, his face full of fatigue, "Damn, I only picked more than a thousand fruits in this whole afternoon."
It's not his fault. Climbing a tree is just too difficult. If it weren't for the game settings, his hands would probably be covered in blood.
The teammate who was supporting him rolled his eyes and said, "Who made you so fat? Your arms are really bearing weights that shouldn't be borne at your age."
"Hahaha!"
The other teammates laughed, but their gains were not much more than that of the little fat boy, they were all about the same.
"Our captain and Brother Dou are the best. They climb trees just like they're walking. They can climb up one tree in no time."
A teammate recalled Dou Fanrong's crazy behavior in the afternoon and patted the arm of the person next to him. "Hey! I saw Dou's fierce operation this afternoon. He jumped directly from one tree to another. What a man!" He gave a thumbs up.
Even a man like him would be fascinated by that heroic figure.
The two protagonists they were discussing also came over. Now everyone was sweating profusely and looked quite embarrassed.
Lin Zuo sat by the campfire and asked, "How was your harvest today?"
Everyone started reporting how much they had collected, but just giving an approximate number was enough. His team didn't want to hand in resources for redistribution, so whoever worked harder would get more.
Dou Fanrong was playing with a dagger on the side, showing no interest in their conversation at all.
However, the teammates also tacitly agreed not to ask about the captain and Dou Fanrong's situation. After all, they must have gained more than them, and telling them would only hurt themselves.
Lin Zuo's ability to become the captain is due to his own strength. He and Dou Fanrong always take the lead in fighting wild monsters, and the final blow to the wild monsters depends on their own abilities.
"Do you want to go back today, or continue picking here?"
As Lin Zuo spoke, he looked into the distance and saw the light of burning fire, which meant that some people were still in the wild and had not returned.
"Captain, we decided to stay here. Who knows when those birds will come? We might as well pick as many as possible before it affects us."
Lin Zuo just nodded, "Okay, be careful in the wild, don't spread out too much, at least your teammates won't have to work too hard when they need support. Remember to contact me by email as soon as possible."
"Got it, Captain."
"Yes, yes. Of course I'll contact you first, Boss."
…
Lin Zuo and his friends had a simple dinner here and then continued to pick fruit.

Lu Jiu looked up at the sky. The moon was high in the sky and the stars were shining. It was foggy during the day, but it was so bright at night.
Because of the moonlight, they can clearly see the surrounding environment from the top of the tree canopy.
[Chen Jufeng: Gather at this coordinate. Zhuang Yun is already making dinner.]
After receiving the message, she immediately headed to the coordinate location. Traveling with wings was much faster than walking.
When she arrived at the coordinates, she saw two tents already set up.
When I walked into the tent, the two teammates were looking at each other in silence, each doing their own thing. Zhuang Yun was concentrating on cooking, while Shen Jufeng was staring at the Tempering Fruit in his hand.
Seeing him coming, they greeted him one after another.
"I'm back."
"I'll help you set up the tent." Shen Jufeng said as he put away the fruit and stood up.
They all brought their own tents, which were actually very convenient to open, but her teammates were just such gentlemen.
After they got outside for a while, Shen Jufeng helped her set up the tent, and when she came out again, she could smell the fragrance of food.
“Gugu——”
Lu Jiu's stomach made a clear growling sound. She hadn't heard this sound for a long time. At this moment, she felt that she was still a lively person as before.
Shen Jufeng snorted and laughed, "Hungry?"
He was also surprised by this sound. Even after the major game update, when the human body's functions were restored, he had never heard this kind of hungry stomach growling sound.
Lu Jiu's face flushed. "This is a normal reaction. I've been so busy today that I didn't even have time to drink a sip of water."
She did quite a bit of exercise today.
"Are you okay today?" Shen Jufeng asked her gently.
Lu Jiu hesitated for a moment, and when he didn't hear an answer for a long time, he felt something was wrong and looked up at her.
"Is something really wrong?"
Lu Jiu nodded, then shook his head.
Shen Jufeng was not in a hurry, just waiting to see how awkward she could be.
"Well, I ran too far today, almost to the border of the neighboring city-state. Luckily, I stopped to walk and ran into people from other cities, but we tacitly avoided each other. To keep a low profile, I walked to find a tree and then secretly flew into the treetops."
Because of this, she ran frequently this afternoon, and in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of seeing other people when she entered the tree canopy, she ran a little further away.
Shen Jufeng raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay. Zhuang Yun and I have also encountered this. But as long as we don't fight or argue, we won't go back today. It will be more secretive to do it overnight."
You can see the surrounding environment clearly in the tree canopy tonight, but it is different under the canopy.
