Chapter 161
"Of course, we can, but in the short term, there won't be any extra space capsules available for sale in Cosona's plane."
Moreover, they need to deliver the remaining 9,990 cubic meters of water before they can start a new transaction.
After hearing Zhou Qi's analysis, Tang Yu'an nodded: "That's true, it's still easier to collect space stones."
Is it easy?
Judging by the pace at which Space Stones can be found during every seven-day sale, it's indeed quite easy, but...
I guess only An An has such good luck?
Zhou Qi had already let it go. He said, "Let's continue fishing for the message in the bottle."
I can catch it twice more today.
"Oh, okay!"
Tang Yu'an stood up and took out a bottle from the pile of brightly lit drifting bottles.
As the bottle opened, a ball of light floated into the air and Xiao Risheng's voice rang out in the attic.
Looks like I can trade for Blue Hu Ye again!
Today, we produced 100 sheets of 2.4m*2m low-temperature cloth, which consumed 200 pieces of dried blue beard leaves.
Now Round Head has started to make room temperature cloth, with a size of 1.2 meters x 1 meter. He has also been given 100 sheets of materials, which requires 300 blue beard leaves.
Normal temperature cloth has a wider range of applications, such as making clothes, protecting plants at night, etc. More blue beard leaves will definitely be needed in the future, so the more you stock up now, the better.
"Rise, do you still want to change to brown rice today?" Tang Yu'an asked.
"Yeah! I need to exchange it for rice!"
Xiao Risheng said confidently, then hesitated, "There are... there are other things..."
"Anything else?" Tang Yu'an asked.
"I...I need to think about it..." Xiao Risheng's voice became uncertain, "It seems...it seems like medicine?"
-
Lanhu Town, the lord's residence.
Lan Yunqing looked at the little boy sleeping with his eyes closed on the bed, with lingering worry between his slightly wrinkled brows.
After demonstrating his dream trading ability, Xiao Risheng has officially changed his name to Lan Risheng and moved to his house to sleep.
Next to him were 6,000 blue beard leaves that he was going to use for trading today.
This number would have been considered crazy in the past.
Lanhu Town has never sold so many leaves to other countries. Even in Qingmu Fort, they only sell 1,000 Lanhu leaves every year.
Blue beech leaves are their food. There is a water source and a salt mine in the blue beech forest.
Although they did trade with salt merchants, it was just to cover up their tracks. In fact, the Lanhu people were not short of salt.
1,000 blue beard leaves were enough for them to exchange for daily necessities from Qingmu Castle.
So even if there are extra leaves, the Lanhu people prefer to keep them because it is a gift from the Lanhu tree to them.
Hiding their cleverness in clumsiness is their wisdom for surviving in this wasteland.
After all, the Blue Hulin are too blessed. If they are not low-key and xenophobic, they will attract the covetousness of powerful forces.
Now that he has to trade so many blue beard leaves, Lan Yunqing is under a lot of pressure.
However, he also knew that this was indeed the only way out for Lanhu Town at the moment.
After using the six drops of healing potion left by Chi Hao before he left, the condition of the Blue Hu mother tree improved significantly, and its vitality recovered to about 60% of its peak period.
Although the lesion has not been eliminated and the situation will continue to worsen day by day, it at least buys them time.
However, due to the recovery of vitality, the falling of blue beard leaves has actually decreased compared to before, so the number of fresh blue beard leaves picked up by the people has also decreased.
If this situation continues for a long time, problems will definitely arise.
Some of the subjects probably realized this situation, so they were very willing to use their stock of blue beard leaves to make brown rice.
They did not eat the brown rice they exchanged for, but followed Lan Yunqing and began to try to grow brown rice.
The Blue Hu people who grew up eating Blue Hu leaves have a relatively high rate of awakening superpowers, and the proportion of those with wood-type powers is relatively high.
However, due to the strong exclusivity of Blue Hulin, unless they leave Blue Hulin, the wood-based abilities will be basically useless.
Therefore, their ability levels are very low and they have basically never been successfully planted.
Now these wood-type mutants have also begun to study how to grow brown rice, but because the exclusivity of Blue Hulin is still very strong, it is not going very smoothly at the moment.
Of course, not everyone is so sensitive and aware of the risks. Some people do exchange brown rice for food.
They also discovered from the books left before the disaster that this brown rice was actually rice, and then... after processing and removing the shells, they got white rice grains.
I have to say that the rice made from this kind of white rice is really delicious. It is hot, fragrant, soft and sticky, and has a hint of sweetness.
Compared to the blue rice that has been eaten for decades, everyone generally thinks that this white rice tastes better.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Lan Yunqing also preferred eating white rice.
So since the white rice came out yesterday, the sales of brown rice have surged again today. He has exchanged more than 14,000 kilograms of brown rice in total, and now there are only about 1,000 kilograms left.
So before they develop an effective method of growing rice, Lan Yunqing can only increase the amount of exchange.
As for the healing potion… he also hoped to get it in exchange, so he asked Xiao Risheng to help find out. He just didn't know if the child could still remember it after falling asleep—
In fact, he asked the child about it when he traded 10,000 kilograms of brown rice last time, but he forgot about it after he fell asleep.
Facing a child who was only a few years old, Lan Yunqing couldn't bear to criticize him.
Xiao Risheng was very brave to face the mysterious businessman alone and bring hope to Lanhu Town. If possible, he really hoped that he would be the one facing the mysterious businessman in his dream.
Looking at the sleeping face of the child, Lan Yunqing sighed again, feeling deeply worried about the unknown future of Lanhu Town.
Soon, the six thousand blue beard leaves piled on the ground disappeared out of thin air, and were replaced by twenty thousand kilograms of brown rice.
These brown rices are vacuum-packed, each bag weighing 100 kilograms, with a total of 200 bags piled up.
If Lan Yunqing hadn't specially arranged Xiao Risheng's bed in the warehouse, so many bags of brown rice would not have been able to fit in at all.
Xiao Risheng, who was lying on the bed, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, waking up from his dream.
Lan Yunqing quickly calmed down.
As soon as Xiao Risheng opened his eyes, he saw the beautiful and noble lord smiling at him, and he smiled too.
He sat up and said, "My Lord, I got rice!"
“Wow, that’s a lot!”
Xiao Risheng said in shock when he saw the real objects piled on the ground.
Compared with the six thousand blue beard leaves, the twenty thousand kilograms of brown rice were really spectacular. Thinking that he had exchanged all of this for something, Xiao Risheng felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.
He is awesome!
Lan Yunqing also touched his hair and said with a smile: "Rise, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard at all!" Xiao Risheng laughed.
Although he moved to the lord's house, he could still go home during the day to see his family, and communicate with the mysterious businessman easily, so he didn't feel tired at all.
Lan Yunqing smiled and then asked, "Have you asked about the healing potion?"
"Ask!"
Xiao Risheng recalled: "The mysterious merchant said it could be exchanged, but...but..."
"But what?" Lan Yunqing asked hurriedly.
"He seemed to say...that you should agree to be his employee." Xiao Risheng said.
"You want me to be his employee?"
"Um!"
At the same time, a strange light curtain popped up in front of him.
[A mysterious businessman intends to recruit you as a salesperson at the "Ping An Grocery Store"]
Job Description: Assisting shop owners in selling goods, managing the shop, etc.
【Salary: 10 points per month】
【Benefits: Open the mall exchange panel, etc.】
【Accept】【Reject】
Lan Yunqing looked at the light screen and the words appearing on it, and couldn't help but be stunned.
-
Ping An Grocery Store, attic.
"I wonder if the lord of Lanhu Town will agree to become our employee?"
After Tang Yu'an sent out the recruitment information, he waited anxiously.
Since they had already hired Lao Mo, they thought they could also hire one from Lanhu Town. Anyway, since the upgrade to the American direction, the number of employees they could recruit had increased.
The main store alone can recruit 9 people. Excluding Chi Hao, Hai Jing and Lao Mo, there are still 6 positions left.
Of course, the reason they wanted to recruit the lord of Lanhu Town was the information they obtained when chatting with Chi Hao.
Because Chi Hao boasted on the message board that he had leveled up seven times in one day, Zhou Qi took the opportunity to ask him privately how he did it.
Only then did I realize that this is where Xiao Risheng got the blue beech leaves, and that’s why the proportion of dried blue beech leaves was so high.
So Tang Yu'an was very envious of these points.
However, he waited and waited, but Lan Yunqing never accepted or rejected his recruitment.
Just like when he was recruiting Chi Hao, he was wary of such unknown things, let alone a town lord like Lan Yunqing.
Although he felt a little disappointed, Tang Yu'an quickly let it go.
Anyway, today can be considered a great harvest - fortunately, he got 40,000 points from the transaction with Kosona, otherwise he might not be able to afford the exchange cost of 20,000 kilograms of brown rice.
Because 20,000 kilograms of brown rice require 100,000 points to exchange, people without some savings really can't do this deal.
But even so, they only delivered 19,800 kilograms of brown rice, and the remaining 200 kilograms will have to wait for the next delivery.
This transaction ultimately resulted in a 42,000-point increase in points, bringing Tang Yu'an's points balance to 141,000!
"Hey, it feels like it's going to be 200,000 soon."
Tang Yu'an looked at the remaining points and said happily.
Seeing his money-grubber look, Zhou Qi smiled and said, "Would you like to use a seven-day sale refresh card?"
There are still three seven-day sale refresh cards. Since the upgrade speed has slowed down, it doesn’t matter if you use one or two now.
Tang Yu'an was in a dilemma.
"How many magical furniture pieces do we need to upgrade our shop?"
Zhou Qi thought for a moment and said, "Two."
The lv2 furniture they currently own includes an automatic water storage thermos, a Nanyuan container, and a super-capacity container that is still being upgraded.
There are only two more pieces left, and...
"Maybe we can create another smart household robot?" Zhou Qi said.
The round head is really useful. Just like now when they are getting ready to go to bed, it is still diligently guarding the printing press downstairs.
Constantly loading materials, waiting, and taking out materials, over and over again, without getting tired.
Tang Yu'an was moved by what he said.
That’s right, they now have a lot of points, which can be used to purchase robots.
If there are enough robots, they can even put one at the swimming pool. Operations like collecting eggs and feeding should be easy for intelligent robots with simple learning abilities to learn!
In this way, Grandpa Li won't have to work so hard, and a breeding base like the swimming pool doesn't need to be known by too many people.
Tang Yu'an finally made up his mind and used a seven-day special sale refresh card.
The seven-day sale interface was refreshed quickly.
[Seven-day sale (remaining refresh time: 6 days)]
1. Intermediate Healing Potion (5/5): 400 points/bottle
2. Cold Medicine (3/3): 100 points/3 tablets
3. Green Light Strip (3/3): 288 points/strip
4. Smart Housekeeping Robot [Advanced Edition] (1/1): 16,688 points/unit
Description: Level 0, high-tech product
Function: Master all housekeeping skills, can complete the instructions given by the owner well, has primary intelligence, can have simple conversations, and has simple learning ability.
Compared to the entry-level version, it has added solar charging, which can automatically absorb energy from sunlight during the day. The charging efficiency depends on the light intensity.
5. Fluorescent Stone (1/1): 38888 points/piece
Description: Rare material
Function: Can be used to make light equipment, furniture upgrades, etc.
"Great, a new robot really appeared!" Looking at the information on the interface, Tang Yu'an's eyes lit up.
Not only is it a new robot, but it's also a solar-powered version! It's perfect for his needs!
"In this way, we don't have to worry about charging problems when we put it in the swimming pool." Tang Yu'an said happily, and then he waved his hand and swept away all the goods.
Not to mention the first two, they also need the green light strip.
No. 1 Store still needs lighting at night, which will greatly improve safety and convenience.
As for fluorescent stone, it is an essential material for upgrading the fluorescent green light strip, and the fluorescent green light strip is also very useful after upgrading.
【Green light strip】
[Level 2 effect: The light strip is extended to 50 meters and can be used in sections, with a minimum length of 5 meters. On the basis of the original function, switch control is added]
In other words, the green light strip can be split into at least 10 sections, which can be used in many more places.
Moreover, the wood spiritual energy absorbed on a daily basis can be stored and will only be consumed when the light is turned on. This is undoubtedly much more durable than the original switch through the spirit gathering grass.
However, because the super-capable container is still being upgraded and Yaya is not accepting orders, it cannot be upgraded for the time being.
We can only wait two days.
"Do you want to use another refresh card?" Tang Yu'an said excitedly.
Although he is usually stingy, he has to admit that it feels so good to spend money, especially when he can buy something super useful.
It turns out that money is only money when it flows!
Seeing his face flushed with excitement, Zhou Qi smiled and said, "How many points do you have left now?"
"There are still 82,000!" Tang Yu'an replied.
"Then don't use it for now." Zhou Qi thought for a moment and said, "If Lanhu Town wants to continue exchanging for brown rice tomorrow, we need to keep enough capital."
Tomorrow, with the income from Haijing, we should be able to reach another 100,000 points.
"Okay then." Tang Yu'an nodded reluctantly.
He put away the refresh card, then reached into the dream sea to grab a bottle. This time, he did not grab those bottles that shone particularly brightly.
He wanted to see if he could catch a bottle farther away.
The person who made the wish in this dream was a girl. Judging from her voice, she should be in her teens or twenties. Unfortunately, the dream was not very stable. After Tang Yu'an spoke, it was broken in less than a few seconds.
Although it’s a bit regrettable, there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s always like this at the beginning.
So, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi went downstairs to the warehouse to check the newly purchased solar-powered smart housekeeping robot.
The round head is silver-white, and this one is golden orange, which looks particularly sunny.
The other shapes are no different.
"Smart Housekeeping Robot (Advanced Edition) DD6868 is at your service! Detecting the network..."
Tang Yu'an turned on the power switch and went through the same operating procedures as Yuan Naotou. This time he was quite proficient in it.
Finally, he named the new robot "Golden Head".
Because they planned to use the Golden Head in the swimming pool, they did not let it work tonight, but let it fully charge first.
After all, due to the floods, there are more and more clouds in the sky, and they are getting thicker and thicker, resulting in less sunlight during the day. I don’t know if it is enough to recharge the golden head.
After saying good night to the two robots, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi went back to the attic to sleep.
The next morning, when they went downstairs, a stack of 100 sheets of room temperature cloth was neatly placed next to the printing machine.
Both robots are fully charged.
Zhou Qi went to prepare breakfast, while Tang Yu'an studied the snack foods in Yuan Nao's store.
Now that he had two robots, he decided to use one to make delicious food and the other to make clothes.
Ever since they installed a gas stove and gas tank in Room 501, Grandpa Li has been preparing meals for the employees himself, and they no longer have to be delivered.
So after they finished breakfast, they took Golden Head to the swimming pool.
After making sure that Golden Head could go up and down the stairs on his own, they cleaned out a room on the second floor and placed Golden Head in it.
Next, give it 100 sheets of room temperature cloth and set the style of clothes to be made.
People in the last days are generally short and thin due to malnutrition, so there is no need for particularly large sizes.
The style is loose, and then divided into three sizes: large, medium and small. The medium size is produced more frequently.
Zhou Qi removed the windows in the room, expanded them into a whole wall, and installed glass to create a whole glass wall.
The light in the room suddenly became abundant, and the sunlight shone directly on the golden head.
It can charge while working, which increases its efficiency.
"I don't know if Bobo can fix it if there is a malfunction." Tang Yu'an looked at the golden head and began to worry that it would malfunction if it did too much work.
Zhou Qi thought about it and shook his head: "It shouldn't break down so soon."
Then they took Golden Head downstairs and asked it to collect eggs on the first floor at five o'clock every afternoon.
This is classified as a storage function by the robot and there is no need to teach it at all. Just let it scan the eggs and it will start looking for them automatically.
As for feeding, it is also very simple. They put the soybeans and millet on the second floor and wrap them with low-temperature cloth. The golden head will complete the feeding according to the learned movements and paths.
In order to prevent the first floor from being too dirty and causing animals to get sick, they also gave Golden Head the order to clean an area every day.
At this time, Old Li, who came to collect eggs, appeared.
When he saw this intelligent robot named "Golden Head", he did not show any surprise or astonishment. After hearing its function, the old man nodded.
Then he offered a suggestion.
First, he asked Tang Yu'an to bring a fence wall to separate the living areas of different animals, which would make management easier.
Then, they arranged special troughs for the hens that needed to be fed, used them for eating and drinking, took some dry vines as chicken coops, and even built a shed for them with fence walls.
The big hen was very satisfied with the new nest. As soon as it was built, she ran in and laid an egg, then ran to the trough to eat soybeans with a cluck.
Then he caught a few unruly goats, tied them with ropes made of vines, and dragged them into the sheepfold.
This way, the goat's feces won't be everywhere.
The yellow rabbits were just enclosed in an area with a fence and no one was paying much attention to them for the time being.
As for the birds that build nests on walls and ceilings, there is no good solution for now, but they do not cause much damage and do not need to be restrained too much.
This makes cleaning and collecting manure easier, but it also adds the task of watering the animals every day.
After seeing the puddle where the animals drank water, Old Li planned to dig a canal from outside and filter the water during the process.
He plans to implement it in No. 1 Store first, and if the results are good, he will move it to the swimming pool.
As long as this canal with filtering function is successful, the residents of the deserted city home will not have to worry about using water. Moreover, the canal can surround all the fields to solve the problem of plant irrigation.
Listening to Old Li's idea, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi nodded repeatedly.
At least during floods, this canal will be very useful, and not only that, Old Li continued.
"Since we can control floods by setting up and removing fences, can we build a reservoir?"
For example, first enclose the land with a fence, then hire residents to build a reservoir, and then demolish the fence.
In this way, as long as the height of the reservoir is lower than the water surface, the flood will automatically fill the reservoir. As long as enough reservoirs are built, we won’t have to worry about droughts when the floods are over, right?
