Chapter 280 Asking for Advice
"Yuzu!"
Yun Xiang was just opening the door when she heard someone calling her, "Aunt Fu!"
She hadn't seen them for a while since she was busy gathering resources. "Come in."
Yun wanted to bring the person into the house and poured a glass of water. "Is your family doing well?"
"I'm fine."
“Are there enough nutritious ingredients?”
"That's enough, that's enough." Aunt Fu said quickly.
Yun Xiang glanced at her, then looked at her again, and said unhappily, "Why are you so reserved?"
"Ha..." Aunt Fu rubbed her hands, but was still too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"If you don't tell me, I'll send you away!" It's true, after coming here, Zhuixing has become more and more polite.
"Oh, no, I'm just embarrassed," Aunt Fu said, suddenly getting excited, "Daqiang has awakened!"
"Awakened?" Yun Xiang was surprised. "What level?"
"Not high, beginner F level."
"That's not bad. It's a good thing that he can awaken." But for Aunt Fu's family, it is a rare good thing.
"Yes, we thought so too. We didn't even dare to think about it before, but..." Aunt Fu choked with excitement, "Youyou, this is all thanks to you."
"What are you talking about? This is the result of your hard work in completing the mission." Daqiang should have awakened after consuming nutritious ingredients for a long time.
It seems that the coming of the Millennium Catastrophe is not entirely a bad thing. At least it is a good thing for ordinary people. It just depends on whether they can seize it.
"You were the one who brought us here. The credit belongs to you. I will remember your kindness."
"Who told you to remember that living a good life is better than anything else."
"Of course. I plan to feed all three of them nutritious food, and take advantage of this 'easterly opportunity' to awaken Erqiang and Xiaoman."
"Are there enough nutritious ingredients? Daqiang has just awakened and needs nutritious ingredients to consolidate his strength."
"Hey, that's what I came to ask you. If it were just Daqiang, it would be enough for a year, alright. But if it were split evenly between Erqiang and Manman, it wouldn't work.
How long will this snow last? Any news? When can we go on the mission? "When mentioning snow, Aunt Fu's face was filled with worry.
If she couldn't go on the mission, she had to stabilize Daqiang's power first, otherwise none of the three siblings would be able to succeed, but she still wasn't willing to give up.
"It's not certain yet, but it will definitely not stop in the near future. You should be mentally prepared." Yun thought for a moment, "The planting base is hiring people recently to do some odd jobs. You have planting experience, so you will definitely be given priority.
The wages can be exchanged for low-level nutritious ingredients."
"Really?" Aunt Fu looked at Yunxiang in disbelief. There was actually such a good thing.
"Yeah, but not a lot."
"That's fine, our whole family can go, and we can definitely earn enough for two."
“You need to plan it yourself.”
"well."
Yun wanted to send Aunt Fu back and leave some low- and medium-quality nutritious ingredients for them. The high-quality ones were a bit too much.
"Youyou, what are you doing? Take it back now! I'm looking for your advice, not asking you for anything. If you keep doing this, I won't dare to bother you again."
"What are you talking about? It's not just for your family, there are other families as well."
"That's not necessary. We have our own hands and feet, we can earn it ourselves."
Yun Xiang felt a headache. "This isn't a special situation. When you're able to go on missions, help me find seeds and seedlings."
"Seeds and seedlings are just a matter of convenience, which is far less than the help you can give us." Aunt Fu waved her hands and said she didn't want anything.
If Youyou hadn't brought them to Falling Star, they would still be struggling on Chaihe Star, and Daqiang would probably be gone.
"Is it still meaningful to count favors like this?" This time Lun Yun wanted to get angry, "Then should we count it from when Grandpa was alive?"
"Haha...what are you talking about?" Aunt Fu couldn't think of a rebuttal. "You gave it to us, do you have any more?"
"Of course, don't you think I'll give it to you? It's not a very good ingredient."
"Yes, yes... Then we will accept it."
"Hmm," Yun Xiang hummed roughly, "Ask a few other companies if they're willing to go for an interview and go together."
"Okay, I was just about to ask you that."
Yunxiang talked to Aunt Fu for a while, then saw the snow was getting heavier outside, so he stood up and said goodbye.
Within a few days, word spread throughout the galaxy that ordinary people could awaken. Those with savings rushed to buy nutritious food, but the market was very limited.
After all, the awakened ones need it more than they do.
Everyone uses their connections to try their luck at the planting bases, but in reality, they gain very little.
Soon, many people set their sights on Falling Star. Whoever can awaken the most ordinary people on Falling Star will have the highest output in their planting base.
But the amount produced and sold by Zhuixing was not enough, so there was no extra to share with them, so they thought of robbing them.
Who gave them the guts to come and rob Falling Star?! No law enforcement team was even used, so the robbers became the robbed. No one dared to act rashly.
The topic started to get heatedly discussed online again.
"Fuck, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the falling star!"
"How can these people be so desperate? There are all kinds of monsters and demons there. They go there to rob people. They are simply fed up with life."
"But the people from Falling Star didn't kill them. Doesn't that mean that the security on Falling Star has improved?"
"That's hard to say. Maybe it's just to scare the monkeys."
"I feel like the people of Falling Star are quite united. When ordinary people were robbed, the Awakened ones didn't just stand there and watch, but stepped forward to help. It instantly warmed my heart. I think the atmosphere there must be very good."
"Yeah, they're usually so arrogant, but if someone says something bad about Falling Stars, they'll scold them until they quit the internet."
"Is it really that good? You guys are making me want to move to Falling Star."
Someone honestly said, "I don't know if there are any, but the people of Falling Star are famous for their unity, especially in the past two years, their cohesion has been particularly strong."
"Good leadership, huh..."
"Hey, why aren't those people from Falling Star showing up again?"
"Hey, it's been a while since I last saw you. I actually feel so empty."
"I heard they're rushing to finish the work again. They've already started preparing the second batch of resources."
"So soon? We haven't finished the first batch yet?"
"That's a falling star!" Invisibly, the falling star has already walked ahead of other planets.
"Stop chatting. I'm going to prepare too." It's really unpleasant to see them chatting idly every day while others are busy preparing for the war.
"I'm going too!"
More and more people went offline, and others found it boring and stopped talking.
The heavy snow lasted for three years before finally stopping. Everyone longed for the snow to melt quickly so they could complete their mission. The Empire developed a new de-icing agent and sprayed it across the planets.
Every day, listening to the gurgling sound of the mellow snow, everyone's faces could no longer be concealed with smiles. Although they would face countless powerful mutant beasts, it also meant that there was meat to eat.
They haven't eaten fresh meat in a long time. Every day they eat either dried meat or meat sauce, which makes their mouths dry. And this is for the rich families. The poor can only survive on ordinary food.
However, not long after, the temperature continued to drop, and the gradually melted snow immediately froze. It was fine without using de-icing agents, but using them would only result in a layer of ice on the slopes. The thicker the snow, the thicker the ice.
The plants showed no signs of life, the mutant beasts were intercepted in the mountains, and the people were trapped in the safe zone and could not leave.
