Chapter 34 Chapter 034【VIP】
——Emergency notice: There are still 11 days, 13 hours and 59 seconds until the arrival of the extreme cold weather.
——Emergency Notice: The farmland is being upgraded. Farmers who manage the farmland please wait three hours before going to work on the farmland.
——Supplementary notice: Before this, please go to the lobby of Taoyuan Inn to find Ms. Jin Suanpan or Miss Tonghua to receive cotton seeds. Each farmer is limited to receiving 8 sets of cotton seeds and 16 bottles of high-efficiency nutrient solution!
Early in the morning, a speaker, installed at some unknown time, began playing a notification three times in a loop. The incredibly loud volume woke up everyone, even those who were asleep.
"What's going on?" Yu Xiaowan jumped out of bed in panic. "Zombies are attacking the city?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qin Mingyue was clearly calmer than Yu Xiaowan and wasn't too panicked. After she calmed down, she heard the announcement repeated once more.
"Oh! They're telling the farmers who manage the farmland to go get some cotton seeds from Ms. Jin so they can prepare for the upcoming cold snap."
"That's a good thing," Yu Xiaowan said, calming down and patting her chest. "When the cotton is ripe, we can buy some and make our own quilts and cotton-padded clothes."
"Can you?" Qin Mingyue asked a soul-searching question.
"No, but with so many people at Taoyuan Base, there's bound to be someone who can," Yu Xiaowan suggested. "Then we can hire someone to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts using whatever we have but don't need right now. If that doesn't work, we can just hire them with Starlight Coins."
Qin Mingyue pondered for a moment, then nodded decisively, acknowledging Yu Xiaowan's suggestion. "Let's go out for breakfast and see if there are any new quests."
Qin Mingyue and Yu Xiaowan left quickly.
On the way up and down the stairs, Qin Mingyue and Yu Xiaowan had just arrived when farmers came to collect cotton seeds and high-efficiency nutrient solution.
However, although the golden abacus was not there, fortunately the copper flower was there. Soon all 25 farmers arrived and received cotton seeds and high-efficiency nutrient solution.
Today, Taoyuan Inn prepared breakfast, which is big buns with vegetable porridge. There are three kinds of big buns: green onion pork, mutton and cabbage, and shredded radish.
Qin Mingyue and Yu Xiaowan ordered a big steamed bun of each flavor and a bowl of vegetable porridge each, then found a seat and sat down to have breakfast.
Five of the 25 farmers stayed at Taoyuan Inn for breakfast, and the remaining 20 took their breakfast home.
By noon, 100 plots of farmland had been upgraded from primary to intermediate. The crops had been harvested in the morning, and now that the farmland had been upgraded, 25 farmers began sowing cotton, using a high-efficiency nutrient solution.
In just over ten minutes, the cotton has been completely planted, and the countdown to maturity has appeared, with 4 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes left to mature.
After the cotton was planted, Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. The others at Taoyuan Base, especially Zhang Junfang and his colleagues from the former University Town Base, were particularly alert to the crisis and began leading teams out to collect supplies in cities Z, X, and C. Over the course of several days, they managed to gather a considerable amount of supplies to survive the extreme cold.
Mingzhu here...
His unlucky physique kicked in, or rather, it got to the extreme, and he suddenly became lucky. On the first day after planting cotton, the limited-time flash sale at '12 o'clock midnight', hey, refreshed the cotton seeds.
Mingzhu: “…”
It's really not surprising at all, it's all within expectations.
"Mmmm!" Mingzhu finally lost his composure and blurted out a string of traditional Chinese idioms. "Banana, cantaloupe, I knew it, I knew it..."
"Host, stay calm." 184 consoled Mingzhu. "You should be used to this by now."
"I'm used to it, but I can't stay calm." Mingzhu said almost gritting his teeth, "How can I stay calm about this rotten luck?"
"...But host, your luck in your previous life wasn't much better. But weren't you calm from the beginning to the end?"
"Speaking of my past life..." Mingzhu's mouth twitched as he thought of his past life, where he had been in and out of the Zerg numerous times, and was invincible. "How could I not have remained calm in my past life? Who would dare to get excited in such an environment?"
"So the host can get excited now?" 184 really didn't understand. For a long while, he kept repeating, "Host, you can't do this anymore. You're really making Tong at a loss for words."
"You said, bad luck, habit!" Mingzhu said almost gritting his teeth, his eyes dull, it seemed that he had lost the desire to speak.
"Now, I'll lie down, thank you!"
184: "......"
Mingzhu fell asleep before lying down for a while, and then on the second day, the third day, and until the night when the extremely cold weather arrived, Mingzhu still repeated the steps of "lying down", "sleep", and then lying down", "sleep".
There is no way. I have been sleeping in the middle of the night for several days in a row. Even the bright candles are out. I can't lie down and sleep. I am depressed.
This is because Mingzhu only takes a short time to repair his emotions. He can usually recover his emotions completely after a good night's sleep, and then he can do whatever he needs to do.
It's not the Ah Q spirit.
"Wow, I got a furnace construction blueprint today." 184 Super Stone 100, you can build a furnace, consuming 100 units of charcoal per day, but..."
Bright candle
"Compared to its practicality, it's not expensive!" 184 argued confidently. "Host, you can't be so short-sighted."
"You've finished what you said."
Mingzhu spent money to buy the stove blueprints.
And use it immediately, choose to build 100.
It is indeed useful.
If placed in an apartment, two stoves placed at both ends of the corridor can keep the temperature of one floor at around 5 degrees.
As for the courtyard house, a stove needs to be installed in the main house and the left and right wing rooms to keep the temperature inside the house at around 10 degrees.
From this perspective, it is more cost-effective for residents living in siheyuan. After all, a siheyuan only needs three stoves to keep the indoor temperature of the entire siheyuan at 10 degrees.
For apartments, two stoves are required on each floor, and the room temperature is only kept at around 5 degrees.
Don't underestimate the temperature difference of 5 degrees. In the cold winter, it is enough to change a person's life or death. But then again, extreme cold weather, apart from other things, must be at least below -60 degrees Celsius, or even below -100 degrees Celsius, to be called extreme cold weather.
If the weather really drops to minus 100 degrees, then an indoor temperature of 5 degrees can be considered a lifesaver.
It takes 6 hours to build 100 stoves, which means Mingzhu can finish the construction by taking a nap.
"Hey, the temperature suddenly dropped by 10 degrees." Mingzhu closed the cross-time and space shopping mall and immediately noticed the temperature difference display.
"The cold snap has arrived," Mingzhu frowned. "It starts at midnight. How despicable! The residents are probably all asleep at this time."
184: "The host can use the broadcast to widely inform the residents of the Taoyuan Base to keep warm."
"Yes. To inform."
As for whether it will wake people up, if extreme weather strikes and no one is notified in time, who knows what will happen.
What if the temperature drops by 10 degrees in an hour? The temperature is only around 20 degrees now. If it drops by 10 degrees in an hour, it will be dozens of degrees below zero by tomorrow.
