Chapter 185 You Are Destined to Be Extraordinary
Zuo Shan was amazed by the purchasing power of the wasteland tycoons. Now she realized that poverty had limited her imagination. The Ninth Forum was a good place for her to get rich.
Back on Earth, she was just an ordinary girl; but after arriving in the wasteland, she became a scavenging orphan in District 50.
In the early days after she transmigrated, she even fell into despair because she suspected she had a tumor in her stomach and worried that she couldn't afford the expensive medical bills.
Later, he met Xiaobai, who would often send him high-end gene potions, space buttons, large quantities of pork, reindeer milk, and crocodile eggs.
On the surface, she seems to have escaped poverty and become wealthy, but she is never at ease because she owes Xiaobai a huge favor that she can never repay.
However, the Ninth Forum gave her a sense of security that "from now on, I can lift myself out of poverty through my own abilities." She believed that one day, she would be able to repay the favor she owed Xiaobai.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful to Madam Gu for securing this invaluable invitation code for her, giving her the opportunity to enter this new world.
From now on, she can rely on her diligence, wisdom, and the complex knowledge and skills she learned from the other world to earn a living.
Zuo Shan left the forum and quickly fell asleep. This was the most restful sleep she had had since transmigrating.
The next day, I woke up feeling refreshed, and the whole family went to visit Madam Gu and pick up reindeer milk.
Lele pushed the stroller, and Achen babbled. Old Madam Gu and the old housekeeper surrounded him with eyes full of joy. As people get older, they love such lively and adorable little babies.
Xiao Bao can now find its little friend Han Han to play with without its owner having to call it. The two cubs chase and jump around the yard, having a great time.
After chatting with Madam Gu for a few minutes, Zuo Shan earnestly thanked her: "Madam, you gave me the opportunity to enter the Ninth Forum, which will benefit me for life. I am deeply grateful and will not thank you enough. In the future, if there is anything I can do to help you, please just ask."
"Hehe, you silly girl, I'm already this old and have no offspring, so how could I possibly trouble you?"
"But Ah Zhong, lately he's been looking everywhere for idle land because of your planting. He's got something on his mind, and the old man looks much more energetic than before," Madam Gu said with a smile.
Then she said seriously, "Actually, being able to enter the Ninth Forum was your own choice."
Any scavenger from District 50 would find it difficult to make a decision within half an hour, since the million they just received would have to be used to pay a deposit.
Your successful registration proves that you have vision, courage, and magnanimity.
Someone like you is destined for greatness. It's my honor that I, an old woman nearing my grave, can be your guide.
"Regardless, this opportunity was given to me by you, and I will always remember this kindness."
However, I really didn't expect that the so-called one million deposit of the Ninth Forum was actually just a test.
"Who would have thought that they would take the money one day, and then return the million yuan, claiming that my registration number was a lucky number? It made me feel the pinch for a long time," Zuo Shan said.
"You said your deposit was fully refunded?" Old Madam Gu looked at her with a complicated expression.
"Yes, didn't you get your deposit back when you registered?" Zuo Shan laughed.
"Of course not. You're really lucky." Old Madam Gu was genuinely happy for her.
"Then I'll just take the 1 million and 5,000 points from District Chief Pan for nothing. Is that fair?" Zuo Shan asked somewhat uneasily.
“What’s inappropriate about it? He definitely used public funds; it was absolutely not from his own pocket.”
"The debts owed to me, an old woman, by District 48 are countless. Who would dare object to him, the district head, allocating some funds?" Old Madam Gu said righteously.
Zuo Shan immediately understood that Old Madam Gu must have made a huge contribution to District 48 in the past, so much so that even though District Chief Pan knew she was extorting money, he didn't dare to say a word against it.
She would ultimately remember this favor by Old Madam Gu, and would cook more delicious food to honor her in the future, treating her as her closest elder in this strange world.
As Zuo Shan was about to leave, the old housekeeper called her back: "Little Shan, I've found three plots of land, all located on the edge of residential areas. It's definitely not convenient to fence off land in the center."
I'll take you around today, and you can see which plot of land you like best.
"Then I'll trouble you, Grandpa Butler. I'll make some ant eggs for you and the old lady to try later," Zuo Shan said with a smile.
She was too tired to cook anything delicious when she got back yesterday, so Ant Egg just told Lele to make a few, and the family made do with what they had.
She wasn't entirely confident in Lele's cooking skills; she felt that she needed to do the work herself to be sure of the gift.
Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, the old housekeeper immediately beamed with joy and walked with the speed of a whirlwind, quickly leading her to see the three plots of land.
The three plots of land were roughly the same size, and they were covered with inedible weeds. The edible ones had probably already been picked by nearby residents.
One of the plots had a wall, and another had a stream nearby. In the end, the third plot was chosen from the left side because the soil there was the softest.
She casually picked up a dagger and dug around, and even unearthed a mutated earthworm the size of an eel. Just for that, she was determined to choose it.
