Xia Chuhe was a little troubled.
Li Qiusheng and Zhao Maomao abandoned their previous organizations and came to join her. She had to make it as good as a mercenary organization; she didn't have to provide food, but she had to provide lodging.
Xia Chuhe's two-story house has two bedrooms and one living room. Currently, Xia Chuhe, Lu Danggui, and Xia Bao'er each occupy one room, leaving only one room available for occupancy.
Although Xia Bao'er rarely came to stay at home, Xia Chuhe wanted to reserve a room for her at home.
Although the living room can be partitioned into rooms, it is not a long-term solution.
Xia Chuhe thought about it all the way and finally came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.
The room is available, but currently it can only be provided to one person at a time.
For those who are unwilling or unable to stay in the courtyard, Xia Chuhe will provide an accommodation subsidy, which is 800 points per day based on the price of a single room in a hotel.
Li Qiusheng didn't really care about where she stayed, so she let Zhao Maomao choose first.
Zhao Maomao's eyes darted around: "You're all girls, it's not very convenient for me to live in the courtyard, so you should stay outside."
He had a good plan. With an 800 yuan subsidy, he would only need to spend 100 yuan if he slept in a dormitory, making a net profit of 700 yuan a day. It was a good deal.
Xia Chuhe was also satisfied with the assignment of the two: "Okay, I recently took on a mission to collect mutated plants. Do you want to come with me?"
The two nodded in unison.
"Then I'll approve a three-day allowance for Mao Mao first, and we'll set off in three days."
"There's only a bed in the room right now. See if you need to buy any furniture, and I'll reimburse you."
Xia Chuhe had arranged everything for the two of them perfectly, but he was still troubled.
Xia Chuhe never expected that Wang Yan would be so corrupted by the base that he became blindly filial. This made her very worried about Xia Bao'er, who was studying at the base.
While the others were preparing for their mission, Xia Chuhe went to the school to pick up Xia Bao'er.
Whether influenced by the butler's power or deeply impressed by Li Qiusheng's rebellious behavior, the teacher didn't ask any further questions and readily granted Xia Bao'er leave.
"Bao'er, what did you learn at school?" Xia Chuhe patted Xia Bao'er's head, his heart softening at the thought of her unwavering loyalty.
"Pinyin, literacy, and arithmetic."
"What characters have you learned so far? Can you tell me?" Xia Chuhe asked patiently.
"Dedication, base, kindness, filial piety..."
Xia Bao'er uttered a few words, and Xia Chuhe became increasingly alarmed as he listened.
Xia Chuhe forced a smile: "Do you like school?"
Xia Bao'er glanced at her cautiously: "Not really... I like it. There are many things the teacher says that I don't understand, and he won't let me ask."
"What don't you understand?"
"I don't understand. Are evolved beings more noble than non-evolved beings? Non-evolved beings work very hard every day, while evolved beings are free because they don't have to work. But I feel that you, Sister Lu, Uncle Wang Yan, and Uncle Qin are all living very tiring and dangerous lives."
"Also, the base didn't give us anything. The food we ate was actually paid for with points deducted from our parents' work points or points spent, but the teachers said that the base raised us."
"The teacher also said that no matter what parents do or say, their original intention is always for our own good."
...
Xia Bao'er muttered a lot, while Xia Chuhe's expression grew increasingly indifferent.
Xia Chuhe suddenly said, "If you don't like school, let's not go to school anymore, okay?"
Xia Bao'er's eyes lit up: "Really? None of my classmates play with me. They don't like me and say I'm a wild child without parents."
Xia Chuhe: "..."
Raising children is really a difficult thing!
Xia Chuhe comforted Xia Bao'er: "You're not a wild child. You're better than all of them, and you're very polite. You have me and your sister Lu~"
...
The two, one big and one small, chatted all the way, and Xia Chuhe decided to withdraw Xia Bao'er from school.
Xia Chuhe wants to find a normal person to teach Xia Bao'er to read and do arithmetic, and also to read more books. He needs to buy some books or download some e-books.
The wasteland must have preserved some pre-apocalyptic civilization, right?
Xia Chuhe recalled the shops in the base, but he didn't seem to have seen a bookstore...
Perhaps we could ask Wang Yan; didn't he buy a dictionary?
However, these things can't be rushed; the most urgent thing is to fill our stomachs.
Back in the courtyard, Xia Chuhe caught a rooster from the farm, harvested some corn from a plot of land, and, along with sugar and soy sauce he had exchanged from the dungeon, quickly stir-fried a pot of corn and chicken.
Given the choice, Xia Chuhe doesn't like taking nutritional supplements.
After filling his stomach, Xia Chuhe finally had time to look at the envelope sent by the farm.
The rat cages, stables, and pigsties that had been built earlier were all completed, and the items that had been exchanged with Boss Ma were piled up on the ground.
The farm unlocked a new building—the warehouse—and Xia Chuhe immediately set it up.
The farm has evaluated the Peach Blossom Village instance, with a background completeness of 40%.
Again, 40%. Both of these animal-themed instances have very low background detail.
The last letter was about the core of the dungeon.
At the last moment before leaving the instance, Xia Chuhe used that set of keycaps—the copy and paste tool.
The copied item is the core of the game: the gacha wheel for drawing characters.
The farm's description is: Happy Spin Wheel (Mirror Shard Replica), you can draw an animal once a day (the replica can only be used three times). It is recommended to merge with the farm to unlock new features.
Having experienced the benefits of the Follower's Manual, Xia Chuhe chose to merge without hesitation.
Soon, a spinning wheel icon appeared on the farm – the copy locator (trial version).
This dungeon locator can only be used three times. Players can use the locator to draw dungeon coordinates and previous information. Note: You must complete the dungeon you have drawn before you can draw again.
