Sunless Sea
On the thirty-first day of drought hell, the temperature finally dropped and the air was filled with fresh moisture.
The planes finally began operating, with several flights making several trips back and forth, bringing back many new personnel. The research institute at the center of the territory officially relocated to the nameless desert—there was ample space there to build the equipment the new researchers needed.
This rare holiday for the residents is also Ye Miaomiao's busiest time.
Don't ask, if you ask, it means they are hoarding goods.
Ye Miaomiao no longer had enough to take advantage of on Taoduoduo, so she asked Hu Mifeng to look for all the goods that were lower than the usual price in the system store, and buy them all with a wave of her hand. Almost the entire Yunshen Yuanshun was filled with goods.
There were not enough professional couriers, so with Ye Miaomiao hiring them at a high price, almost all the hungry residents joined the team to transport goods.
Relying on the double attribute value of [Infinite Strength], the little girl can easily lift goods that are twice as heavy as her - she looks more like a courier than the courier - although it is obviously hard work, there is laughter and joy, and a world has been achieved where only the courier is injured.
The warehouse expanded rapidly. Ye Miaomiao looked at the rapidly decreasing points and resisted the desire to continue buying.
She had already stockpiled millions of points worth of merchandise, hundreds of thousands of which she had used to purchase Doraemon's warehouse, but it still felt like it wasn't enough. She needed to keep 200,000 points for emergencies.
Customer service reappeared after the long drought disaster ended.
"The agent's review has concluded. He is suspected of serious violations and has been detained in a civilized prison. Thank you for reporting him. However, I'm sorry, because human civilization has never advanced beyond fourth-dimensional technology, and the human race has never appeared on the Spacetime Regulatory Bureau, you cannot perform spacetime retracing. The losses that have occurred are irreparable."
Ye Miaomiao tried her best to appear more confused. Did she hear correctly? The store wouldn't accept returns? Because the customer was ugly? What a joke! How could her ugliness necessarily have anything to do with whether or not you could accept a return?
The customer service representative was visibly embarrassed. "Fortunately, this game has two Spacetime SSRs that meet the rules. The [Your Story] SSR has disappeared. We asked the Spacetime Patrol to send the second [Butterfly Effect] to the best candidate and changed the history of the first stage. Apparently, he now holds the second stage of [Butterfly Effect], and your survival until now is already a kind of optimal compensation."
Ye Miaomiao: "?" What compensation has already happened? Ye Miaomiao rubbed his forehead, trying to understand, "Are you talking about Fang Yan? He is the compensation?"
"But the first stage you changed was his past life, right? That's a story that has already happened. Changing that story won't affect Fang Yan..."
"So we've put Fang Yan under space-time supervision..." The customer service representative said with a guilty conscience, "He's already half a four-dimensional being. Even if you all die, he won't. He's trapped in reincarnation, and after controlling time, he can change history himself. But after another reincarnation, he's the only one in the world who's real."
However... reincarnation is not endless, and he cannot succeed alone. The customer service did not say this. After all, even if there is another reincarnation, it has nothing to do with the person in front of him.
"There's one more good news!" Perhaps feeling guilty, the customer service representative raised his voice. "A cartoonist from a civilization partner is interested in your civilization's story and is about to publish a comic about human civilization. If you successfully ascend, you'll become an extremely popular race. I mean... maybe you'll even receive gifts?"
Ye Miaomiao: “…” After talking so much nonsense and making so many promises, where is her actual compensation?
"A formal apology will be released in the form of a notice later." The customer service representative finally couldn't stand Ye Miaomiao's clear and straightforward eyes. She coughed lightly and thrust her finger forward. "As for your personal loss, I applied for one, no, two, chances to draw a card. Remember to give me a five-star rating."
Ye Miaomiao watched expressionlessly as the big yellow dog in front of her suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground. When he opened his eyes again, they were wet with joy, and he clung to her foolishly.
Ye Miaomiao immediately softened her heart and took out a piece of smoked beef from the warehouse and fed it to Dahuang.
He rubbed the dog's head and pulled out his fingers, and two golden cards appeared.
Having been forced to experience a high-level disaster before, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise and he drew all the interstellar-related cards.
[Call of the Void (SSR)): Zip-zip-zip—your radio suddenly picks up a disembodied voice, "We were once at the pinnacle of the universe, until we stepped into the void... The remains of our civilization are our only proof. Devour them! Let us step completely into the void, leaving no ground beneath our feet."]
[Note: With 1 point of Void race favorability, this card is successfully drawn.]
Ye Miaomiao: “?” Where did her favorability come from?
An unbelievable thought came to her mind. Could it be the pie in the sky that the customer service had just painted? Something about comics being published, being popular, and receiving gifts... Just as she thought of this, the next card appeared in front of her, seeming to confirm this statement.
[Manga Artist's Gift (SSR): This is a beginner's encyclopedia of the universe, I believe you will need it if you are just starting to learn about space creatures.]
[Note: You must have 10 points of partner favorability to successfully draw this card]
The complete set of "The First Explanation of the Universe" contains over a thousand volumes, which is enough to show the diversity of species in the universe. Even so, Ye Miaomiao could not find any introduction to the void race.
I can only wait until the technology of space travel is developed and then go and see it in person.
The books were placed in the library, filling up four bookshelves. I'm sure they will be used many times in the future.
Ye Miaomiao was very satisfied with these two SSRs.
The global notification she received shortly afterwards disappointed her.
[Hello dear players:]
We apologize for the unfair treatment you experienced. To ensure fairness, civility, and other ethical considerations, as well as regulatory compliance, we have corrected the error and restored a level playing field. As an apology, your territory will receive *Evolution Points × 4*. Please check carefully.
Ye Miaomiao sighed, understanding it. After all, the agent was human, and no one would have thought he would harm his own people. Furthermore, the authorities had done their best to remedy the situation. If there were any mistakes, they could only blame the penguins for starting a bad trend. Fortunately, the bad apple of the agent had been eliminated, so there was no need to worry about backstabbing.
While everyone was delighted, they were also counting the days until the "holiday" came. However, as soon as midnight passed, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky, gradually turning into a violent storm. This was definitely not a peaceful night.
At six o'clock in the morning, in the heavy rain, the notice appeared as expected.
[Hello dear players, congratulations on successfully resisting four rounds of disasters!
The fifth round of disasters is approaching, this time titled "Sea Without Light." We regret to inform you that this round is a medium-to-high level disaster. You will not receive any disaster-related information, and the special damage caused by this round will be accumulated into the next round. Please take precautions!
[Your only mission of resistance - to survive!
The disaster is about to begin, good luck, we are with you! ]
"Oh my god! This rain is so damn creepy! Everyone, stay out!"
Early in the morning, people were awakened by a shout.
Previously, many people in the residents’ group summarized the characteristics of disasters: if there is ice and snow, there will be scorching heat; if there is drought and locust plague, there will definitely be a huge rain disaster.
Therefore, many people are grateful when it rains, after all, the tools used for sun protection and rain protection are almost the same.
I went out happily with an umbrella, but after a while, the thorny rain actually penetrated the umbrella! It dripped directly onto my face, making a sizzling sound and causing great pain!
Fortunately, the victim had just left the house and was close to the hospital. He rushed to the hospital without hesitation and shared his battle-damaged umbrella. A good black umbrella, now rotten to the point of being a broken garbage bag.
"Acid rain corrosion disaster?" The group chattered.
"Go look at the balcony! My railings are broken by the rain!"
"The color of this rain is wrong too. One moment it feels pitch black, and the next it feels fluorescent. It's really scary."
"It seems that the rainstorm disaster is more difficult than we imagined."
"How can it be that simple? Did you see the disaster theme? The Sunless Sea. I guess this rain is just an appetizer."
“…”
Ye Miaomiao turned off the screen and got up from the bed.
She was about to yawn when a series of system alerts stopped her.
[Warning! The Lord's Cabin has been damaged to 80% and is about to fall below the health line.]
[Warning! The Night Watch Center has been damaged to 80% and is about to fall below the health line.]
[Warning! "Diplomatic Office"...]
Ye Miaomiao: "..." When she thought about the points that were going to be wasted, she had only one thought: this rain was really creepy.
After repairing them one by one, Ye Miaomiao stood at the window. The railings outside that should have been broken had been restored to their original state. However, those clumps of rain with strange colors indicated that things were not so simple.
This color... is almost the same as what the group members described. It looks like black metal with a cold glow. When viewed from different angles, you can see reddish brown, copper rust... various colors that are both matte and fluorescent.
Ye Miaomiao had a bad feeling.
The warning from the old farmer prompted her to take out a pot of dried and withered mint and place it outdoors on a wooden board where it could be exposed to rain.
After a while, about ten minutes later, when I took it back, the cracked soil had turned the same color as the rain.
Ye Miaomiao: “…” She would never eat anything that grew from the soil.
If the damage accumulated to the next round of disasters comes, the soil may never recover... Ye Miaomiao pondered the matter and, after a moment, took out a gold card that she had kept in the bottom of her box for a long time.
[Today is a holiday!: Choose one day to reject the effects of disasters, for this round only.]
This card was obtained during the first round of disasters, so hoarding it is useless. It's better to stock up on normal items while you can still avoid disasters.
Ye Miaomiao used it without much hesitation.
Suddenly the rain stopped and the sky cleared up, the sky was as blue as a mirror, and the frightening rain just now seemed to have never appeared.
[Your territory has used a special card, and you have entered vacation mode!]
"Hurry, hurry! Get moving!" Ye Miaomiao urged the hesitant residents, "Hurry up and stock up on water. The territory might be running low on water. Residents who farm their own land can stock up on soil. We might never see normal land again. Also, stock up on anything related to water pollution."
There was a moment of silence in the group, and then everyone replied "Got it", and the quiet territory immediately became noisy.
Ye Miaomiao solemnly opened Doraemon's warehouse.
As the disaster entered the middle and high levels, many of the low-level props that Ye Miaomiao had previously stockpiled were no longer valuable, so he quickly sold them, freeing up more than ten warehouses. Some high-level items had low costs and high selling prices and could be produced earlier, so Ye Miaomiao sold them without hesitation. There were also some stockpiled goods that took up a lot of space, so Ye Miaomiao also sold them to make room.
Finally, fifty or so warehouses were vacated, and fifty thousand points were sold, plus half of the remaining balance, leaving a total of three hundred warehouse spaces.
Ye Miaomiao worked tirelessly, filling a hundred warehouses with fresh water and a hundred warehouses with fertile soil, and actually dug a large layer lower on the thick soil plain.
Many residents were also digging, and when they saw Ye Miaomiao's locust-like speed of the bulldozer, they all sped up their actions.
At the last hundred warehouses, Ye Miaomiao hadn't forgotten the theme of this round of disasters, "The Sunless Sea." This was a disaster about the ocean. She stood in front of the sunset beach.
The world can be without anything except seafood.
Ye Miaomiao casually packed two warehouses of sea salt: Of course, to add spicy and numb flavors, you need to add salt.
