The sea breeze was getting cooler, and even facing the breathtakingly beautiful blue sea, Sang Ning lost her good mood.
She said, "The weather is about to change, but we still don't have any blankets."
Monet was picking up mantis shrimp when she heard this and said very straightforwardly, "But we have cotton. If all else fails, we can just wrap ourselves in cotton."
Sang Ning is utterly useless; if only it were that simple.
She wanted to say that cotton wasn't used that way, but after glancing at the two people happily collecting seafood, she decided it was better not to waste her breath.
But he had made up his mind. After going back and having a good meal, he started to study how to make a loom.
I wonder if Grandpa Qi will be online today. If he is, we can ask him to upload pictures related to looms.
Achoo!
Qi Wenyuan, who was being nagged, sneezed loudly, startling Gu Shiqian, who was checking accounts nearby.
Without looking up, he said, "Are you sick? I still have some Cistanche deserticola, do you want to eat it first?"
"No need for that, I'm perfectly healthy."
After replying in a booming voice, Qi Wenyuan stroked his chin, looking thoughtful, and said, "The old saying goes, 'Thinking, scolding, and catching a cold.' I just sneezed. Do you think someone is thinking about me?"
Who misses you?
Gu Shiqian retorted without holding back, "Do you still think you're that handsome young man from back then? Only a blind person would think of you. Give up, no one will think of an old codger like you."
"uncertain."
Qi Wenyuan firmly believes that someone is thinking about him. "I feel that it is Xiao Ningzi who is thinking about me."
Speaking of Sang Ning, Gu Shiqian stopped what he was doing, looked up, and said, "If I remember correctly, it's been almost two months since you last logged on, right?!"
"Be confident and remove the word '吧'. It's been two days, seven hours, fifteen minutes, and forty-two seconds since the last two months."
Qi Wenyuan remembered the time he last logged in very clearly, down to the second.
Gu Shiqian was incredibly envious of his memory. The old man's memory was truly amazing. When would he ever have such an exaggeratedly incredible memory?
He sighed and said, "We really need to find a way to buy a signal receiver, and it has to be the latest model. The signal receiver that the Mo family gave us last time doesn't work here."
"What a pity!"
It was indeed a pity, but there was nothing that could be done about it. Qi Wenyuan squatted on the ground, pulling at his hair, and said, "Is it that I don't want to buy it? It's because I'm poor. I know that the latest model of signal receiver is good, but this thing is expensive. Even if I sold myself by weight, I couldn't buy a scrap of it."
"No, we have money in our account now."
Gu Shiqian said with a serious expression, "Knitting has brought us a considerable amount of income, but this money cannot be moved at will; we need to buy winter gear."
It's true that planet E72 is covered in yellow sand all year round, but that doesn't mean that this planet is immune to cold waves.
On the contrary, planet E72 has only two seasons: a long summer and a long winter.
Summer temperatures can reach over 60 degrees Celsius, forcing them to stay in sand shelters, afraid to go out and unable to leave.
During the cold season, the lowest temperature can reach below -60 degrees Celsius, which forces them to stay in sand caves and dare not go out.
Actually, summer is easier to get through than the cold season because no matter how the temperature changes, it will drop during the five hours from 10 pm to 3 am. During this time, you can go out to find food and cut thorny vines and other plants to bring back to the sand shelter.
The cold season is truly unbearable, not only for humans but also for sandworms.
With the arrival of the cold season, sandworm activity levels drop sharply, making it extremely difficult to find food during the cold season.
In addition, there is a severe shortage of thermal clothing and related protective materials. Every year during the cold season, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of elderly people and children with poor physical condition lose their lives in the cold waves on planet E72.
Last year, there was also an incident where a young and strong adult lost their life without realizing it in their sleep.
This year, thanks to Xiao Ningzi's survival trip to a remote planet, which brought back a wave of donated items for E72, along with supplies donated by the Historical Research Center and other related organizations, it is possible to ensure that some people can wear temperature-controlled suits and avoid the discomfort of extreme cold and heat.
Moreover, what can be guaranteed is only a very small portion; most people get nothing at all.
The gap in providing thermostat suits for all the inhabitants of planet E72 is enormous.
Gu Shiqian had already planned how to use the money in the account; he intended to buy thermal suits and nutritional supplements in preparation for the cold wave, but the signal receiver…
He went over his thoughts in his mind again and again, and said, "I have a plan."
"Tell me about it."
Qi Wenyuan, who became serious when talking about business, looked at him and unconsciously released his aura. Gu Shiqian was used to it, and besides, his strength was no less than Qi Wenyuan's.
Therefore, he showed no discomfort whatsoever and even spoke to Qi Wenyuan about his plans, his tone and expression remaining very calm.
However, Hao Liansihua, who came to Qi Wenyuan with something to discuss, felt that she was about to have a breakdown, as the mental pressure was ridiculously strong.
As the curator of the Museum of Human History, he was born and raised in the Central Star Region and received an elite education. After graduation, he traveled to many star regions for work and had dealings with intelligent life and powerful beings of various races.
There are quite a few intelligent beings with such a powerful aura, but as mentioned before, intelligent beings that can reach this level are all elite races with optimized genes, so it's not surprising that they have this strength.
Even he, a non-combat intelligent life form, exuded an aura of power not much weaker than the two inside the sand shelter.
However, these two are primitive humans, whose genes have not been optimized.
Yet they possess such a powerful and overwhelming spiritual pressure that even many elite races lack.
This is a bit outrageous.
Hao Liansihua couldn't understand what had caused such a gap.
As he was pondering this, he heard Qi Wenyuan say, "No, I don't agree."
"But···"
"No buts."
Interrupting Gu Shiqian, Qi Wenyuan said in a deep voice, "I can agree to sell the receiver, since we have no use for it. But the money in the account cannot be touched. This is the money for purchasing the thermostat and nutrient solution, and it cannot be touched under any circumstances."
At this point, he said with considerable grief, "Old Gu, I really don't want to see another incident like last year where thousands or tens of thousands of people died."
"So many people died?"
Hao Liansihua could no longer contain his astonishment and blurted it out. Only after he finished speaking did he realize that something was wrong. He subconsciously wanted to apologize, saying that he did not mean to eavesdrop on purpose, but that there was no door in the sand shelter for him to knock on. He just happened to have something to do with Qi Wenyuan and unfortunately overheard these things.
But Qi Wenyuan didn't give him a chance to speak.
"Is Director Hao Lian here on business?"
"Yes, I need to speak with the Consul."
