Precious crops
The next day, the hungry hungry spaceship set off in a mighty manner.
The refugees' situation was more like a trip than a refuge. They quickly shared their first breakfast on Taoduoduo and lamented that the delicious food on E E E was as good and cheap as ever.
At the same time, a new round of artillery bombardment began on the ground.
"Just wait, you'll regret it." A man muttered maliciously in a dark corner. "Look how happy they are now, but how sad they'll be when they reach the Beginning of Spring. How bad can hunger be? Even if it's severe, can't we still just live on a planet with a 60% habitability level? Is that habitable? We made the right choice to stay here. Just wait and see."
The other man was startled by the gunfire overhead and uttered a meek "oh". He was only afraid to sign up because he was on the "hungry hungry hungry" blacklist. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to stay here no matter what.
"We've stockpiled enough supplies to last a year, don't worry," another man said, noticing the man's hesitation. "If you're going to starve, you'll have to work, especially in the weather like that on the Beginning of Spring. Look how tanned those people are. Who knows how much they'll regret it later."
These words comforted the man, and he finally felt at ease - staying here was the right choice, no doubt about it.
"Just wait and see them laugh at you, tsk." He chuckled and flipped the screen again.

After the spacecraft docked at Lichun Star, the Hunger Hunger Space Station began upgrading. Assisted by artificial intelligence, this upgrade required minimal manpower and was completed in a short time, approximately five days.
Taking advantage of this unprecedented period of manpower, Lichunxing also began its transformation work.
From the perspective of anthropology, transforming Lichunxing isn't as simple as shifting its orbit away from its star. It also involves modifying the terrain, the soil, and the environment...the workload is far greater than one might imagine.
Ye Miaomiao threw a lot of work on the task board, all of which were planet transformation tasks. In order to motivate everyone to complete the tasks, she gave out a lot of rewards.
Although the food on Lichun Star is of good quality and cheap, and food and accommodation do not cost much, people who have experienced disasters always want to learn more and stock up more. Under the temptation of rich rewards, whether they are residents who have settled on Lichun Star, disaster victims who temporarily seek refuge, or hungry residents themselves, they can't help but take on the task.
Of course, it’s not just to earn more points for studying and stocking up, there’s a more important reason - there are precious crops in the mission rewards.
[Cordyceps sinensis* cherish
Effect: Restores health by 10, permanently increases strength by 1; restores hunger, improves mood...]
[Snow Lotus* cherish;
Effect: Restores health points by 10, permanently increases health points by 1; restores hunger points, increases mood...]
[...]
"Permanently increase strength!" God knows when Li Chenxin saw this description, she almost screamed.
She rushed all the way to find Zhang Chenxi, her heart overflowing with joy. Since the disaster, no, since she became an adult and entered society, she had never been as happy as a child.
"I can go study mecha design!" Li Chenxin finally ran to Zhang Chenxi and told her the good news with great excitement.
Before the apocalypse, Li Chenxin's main job was welding wires. In her spare time, she would make some mechanical handicrafts and post them online. However, she only welded some small finger sleeves and hand guards, and had neither the ability nor the conditions to make larger mechanical weapons.
After joining Hungry Hungry, Li Chenxin secretly went to the Hungry Hungry school district to learn about similar majors. The one that excited her the most was mecha design - who knew how excited she was when she saw the finished mechas.
However, most of these majors are even more advanced than advanced majors. Not only do they require expensive tuition fees, but they also have requirements for the students' own attribute values. Many space operations require extremely high strength values.
So although Li Chenxin was very interested in this, she never told anyone about it.
Until today, until now.
Zhang Chenxi was happy for her friend. She held Li Chenxin's hand and smiled involuntarily: "I saw those announcements. Maybe I can also improve my attribute values."
"Of course! Putting aside improving our attributes, learning more, and finding a better job, at least we won't have to rely on others for water anymore. I'm telling you, if I increase my strength by ten points, I can lift a grown man! From now on, no one will dare to think I'm a weak woman."
"You already know this," Zhang Chenxi tapped her forehead. "Just stack your strength. I want to see how much weight you can lift from now on."
"You're talking as if you don't plan on folding it. If you don't, I'll carry you."
The two of them laughed together and didn't make any more noise. They discussed taking on a few tasks that they could cooperate on. It was so hard to get such an opportunity, and they wished they could have three heads and six arms to earn more.
Precious crops, even before the apocalypse, were national treasures. To obtain even one required exceptional luck and the ability to penetrate the central region, especially in a specific environment. Because these were priceless treasures, even having points wasn't enough to buy them.
With Hungry Hungry generously offering these precious crops as rewards, a wave of quests swept across the entire Lichun Star. Everyone knew these valuable plants were scarce, and everyone wanted to grab as many as possible. If you were slow, you'd miss out! What if everyone else snatched them all up?
As for the mission, does it even matter? Isn't it just splitting rocks, moving mountains and filling the sea? They can even create the world.
For a time, people working hard could be seen everywhere on Lichun Star.
Li Yihan knocked on Ye Miaomiao's door worriedly, and asked as soon as the door opened: "When the truth is revealed, should we just send them away?"
Ye Miaomiao: “?”
Before she could clarify her thoughts, Li Yihan said with a hint of complaint, "Look at you, I know you're anxious to transform Lichun Star, but you can't lie. I know we can cultivate precious crops, but how can all that zombie fertilizer produce so much? If we can't issue quest rewards, it will definitely cause public resentment. I don't even dare to grab quests, for fear that the precious crops will be gone in a short time, which would be disastrous."
Ye Miaomiao stopped her: "Wait, who said it's not enough?"
Li Yihan: "Everyone says the quantity is limited."
Ye Miaomiao: "Is it possible that this is just a rumor and I just didn't clarify it?"
"How could it be..." Li Yihan looked at Ye Miaomiao's half-smile and suddenly felt uncertain. It was also true that, based on her understanding of Ye Miaomiao, as a big boss who could "provide supplies under any circumstances," he was definitely the most stable in some aspects. How could he do such a stupid thing?
Even so, Li Yihan still asked, "How many do we have?"
"A few warehouses," Ye Miaomiao said. The territory had been stockpiling precious crops since the last few disasters. She had been consciously investing points and props, and had accumulated quite a bit over the past few days. "Enough for everyone here to eat a few hundred plants each."
Li Yihan opened her mouth wide.
"And this time, the locusts invested in the Demon Research Institute and developed [Accelerated Fertilizer]. It works as its name suggests, speeding up the growth of crops. This way, there will be no shortage of precious crops," Ye Miaomiao said with a smile. "Wouldn't it be better to use it to transform Lichun Star and improve the attribute values of the residents at the same time? Although not all residents here are ours, we are all compatriots. It's an equal exchange. We can all improve our attribute values together and fight disasters together. I think it's a good deal."
What kind of wealthy family's statement is this? That's a precious crop, cherish it! Regardless of its price, just using it to improve the military could create a super-spying team. And the people in front of me are using it to transform the planet, build the environment, and allow the residents to collectively improve their attribute values.
Li Yihan looked at Ye Miaomiao and felt that she was glowing at the moment, the kind of glow that could make her squat on the ground and hug her thighs tightly.
With tears in his eyes, Li Yihan turned on the screen and was about to accept the task.
Ye Miaomiao: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm accepting quests!" Li Yihan let out a scream. "I was afraid you'd be in trouble if all your stuff was snatched away, so I didn't accept a single quest. Do you know how it feels to watch others spend money to improve themselves when I can't?"
As she spoke, she placed the bags of snacks she had brought with her on Ye Miaomiao's desk. "I'll give them all to you. From today on, I'm going to start a new life. I'll move bricks every day, be self-disciplined, and cultivate myself with krypton gold. I'll become a super female warrior and a beautiful Godzilla."
In fact, if she wanted, Ye Miaomiao could give it to her separately... However, coveting the milk tea in the bag, Ye Miaomiao sealed her mouth, made a serious gesture of "come on", accepted the snacks, and watched Li Yihan leave anxiously.
Tsk, being a lord is great. Others work hard to cultivate themselves, but she cultivates all the residents of the territory. She doesn't have to do anything and can get everything done. Ye Miaomiao thought comfortably while lying in a recliner, eating snacks and watching a movie.
With the incentive of cherishing crops, the resettlement and transformation work of Lichunxing went exceptionally smoothly.
A day passed, and the resettlement houses for the residents were built. Looking around, there were rows of brand new buildings, and green plants were grown and clothes were hung on the balconies of several buildings; a day passed, and another piece of land was filled in. A newly dug river channel passed through the park all the way through the Lichun base, and then meandered around the residential buildings and flowed towards the newly planned lake; another day passed, and surrounding the residential buildings, tall and short, distinctive buildings rose from the ground, and roads and sidewalks connected the various buildings. The newly planted green plants had not yet begun to grow leaves, and the flowers had not yet bloomed, but we could already see how beautiful the future would be.
Every time the residents complete a task, they will gain an attribute value improvement, so that they complete the tasks faster and faster, and the construction of Lichun Star becomes faster and faster, it changes every day. It is not an exaggeration to say that a skyscraper is built from the ground overnight.
It's a pity that Lichun Star is too close to the star, and the air is still filled with a scorching breath all the time. Even if [human aquaculture] has been used to the limit to transform the planet, the habitability has only risen to 80%.
Finally, on the fifth day, the space station was upgraded to a starship, and the victims received a system notification—
[Random disaster in this round: war crisis;]
[Details: Some major weaponry has finally been decided for use in the war. Rejoice! Once these weapons are deployed, the outcome of the war will be decided, and you can finally escape the harassment of the flames of war. That is, if you can survive this frantic battle. Disaster is about to begin. Good luck! We are with you!]
