Finally, at Fang Yuan's insistence, the two rented a house with a yard.
The house is over 100 square meters, and each room is quite large.
It's many times larger than the houses in the slums outside.
There is a small courtyard of about 60 square meters outside the house, and a well in one corner of the courtyard.
"Is there water in this well? Is the water drinkable?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.
A house with a well in its courtyard is considered quite nice.
“There is water down here, but it’s not filtered. If you want to drink it, you’ll have to buy or rent a filter. We also offer that service.”
The staff member said it very politely.
“…Okay, we’ll contact you again when we need you,” Fang Qi quickly replied.
This staff member not only rents houses but also equipment, so their business scope is quite comprehensive.
Once the money was paid and the staff left, Fang Yuan closed the door and began planning the layout of the yard.
"Brother, let's try to buy a water filter, so we can have free access to water too."
Looking at the well in front of him, Fang Yuan considered the possibility of buying a filter.
"Rent it, buying is too expensive," Fang Qi said, shaking his head.
Filters that can filter radiation require an energy core to support them, and they're too expensive to buy.
"How about building another kitchen outside?"
"Brother, let's build a warehouse in the yard!"
The houses here can be expanded, of course, within the limited scope.
However, if the rental is cancelled in the future, all the renovated items must be kept.
"You rented this place with a small courtyard to build a house?" Fang Qi asked, exasperated.
The materials needed to repair the house are not a small amount, and they cannot be demolished later, so repairing the house is a huge loss.
"The main reason is that I want to do business in the future, and this place is too small to store things properly," Fang Yuan replied softly.
"Fine!" Fang Qi said helplessly.
After renting the house, Fangyuan's temporary pass was also obtained.
The two ran back and forth several times. When they were getting the item for the last time, Zhang Cheng asked reluctantly.
"Are you really not coming back?"
At the same time, his gaze toward Fang Yuan was filled with hatred.
If she hadn't gone out with Fang Yuan, her daughter wouldn't have died.
"We won't be coming back for now, but we'll still come back to visit Uncle when we have time."
Seeing this, Fang Qi smiled and replied again.
He secretly thought to himself that he should probably be careful with Uncle Zhang.
When the two returned home, Fang Qi looked rather unwell.
"You should stay away from Zhang Cheng in the future."
He had already noticed the hatred in the man's eyes when he looked at his sister.
"I understand. I won't go out alone anymore. I'll always go with you, brother," Fang Yuan nodded and said.
She will find opportunities to discover 'good things' in the future, and naturally she will have to bring along her brother, with whom she depends on each other for survival.
How could I go out with outsiders and let them benefit from it!
After packing up their belongings, the two of them didn't rest for more than a few days before going to the outer city at Fang Yuan's request.
Fang Qi thought that she was indeed better, and her health had improved a lot, so she agreed to go to the outer city with Fang Yuan.
"Brother, do you feel like you've gotten stronger?"
Seeing Fang Qi easily cut down the vines blocking his path again, Fang Yuan approached Fang Qi and asked in a low voice.
"I didn't realize it until you said it, but now that you mention it, I really do feel it. Little sister, have you gained strength too?"
Fang Qi looked around and asked.
He had initially thought it was his imagination, but upon closer inspection, he realized that his younger sister had become much fairer and her face seemed to have gained some weight.
They look much cuter than before.
"Yes, I've become much stronger, and... I think I..."
Fang Yuan looked at Fang Qi with some trepidation, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong? Did you awaken some kind of superpower?" Fang Qi asked jokingly.
"Yes, look!"
As Fang Yuan spoke, he raised his hand, and a stream of spring water gushed from his palm.
"How is that possible?"
Fang Qi stared wide-eyed at the water in Fang Yuan's hand.
He hasn't awakened his superpowers yet, and he's planning to buy evolution fluid later.
I never expected my younger sister to awaken her supernatural abilities first; this is such a blow...
"Has this a natural awakening?"
After the initial shock, Fang Qi's face was filled with joy as he confirmed it once again.
He was often away from home, so he didn't know if his sister had secretly bought and taken the gene evolution fluid.
"Of course, I don't have any credits to buy anything else. Bro, what about you? Have you awakened anything yet?"
She looked at Fang Qi and asked deliberately.
Her brother's aptitude was really too poor. He ate her spiritual food for more than ten days and slept on several kinds of potential-stimulating crystals for a long time.
It only repaired some hidden injuries and improved my physical condition a little, but I didn't even awaken any power-type superpowers.
"Well... it's great that you've awakened, little sister. I'll be relying on you to buy evolution fluid from now on!"
Fang Qi scratched his head, then said in a carefree manner.
Although he hasn't awakened any special abilities, his archery skills are quite good. Now that his physique has improved, he will be able to run faster than others when he needs to escape.
"Actually, brother, don't worry. I think you've just not been eating enough good food. I'll have been eating for a while longer than you, so just wait a bit, and maybe you'll awaken!"
Taking evolution fluid is far from natural awakening; at least for those who take evolution fluid, the only way to advance is to continue using it.
But those who awaken naturally are different; they can gradually accumulate and upgrade on their own.
During this time, she has been feeding him the treasures from her past life.
"Okay! I'll listen to you, brother!" Fang Qi nodded.
He also felt that he probably hadn't eaten enough and hadn't accumulated enough energy.
Anyway, since my sister has become an Awakened One, and a Water-type one at that, at least they won't have to worry anymore.
Water-based superpowers are highly sought after, as the water they condense is completely free of radiation.
As they talked, they arrived at the same sweet potato field they had visited before.
"Brother, we've arrived at our destination, this is it!"
Fang Yuan looked at the sweet potato field in front of him, which still only had a few pits, indicating that no one had dug it up since.
"Here? Uncle Zhang knows about this place too?" Fang Qi asked cautiously after looking around.
This isn't like Uncle Zhang at all. Is he really up to something?
"Yes, but it looks like he didn't come to dig up the sweet potatoes. We got lucky!" Fang Yuan said, pretending to be relaxed.
In fact, she had the system check her all the way, and there was no one within a few kilometers around her.
"That's right, let's ignore him for now and get the sweet potatoes back as soon as possible!"
Although Fang Qi was somewhat worried, he couldn't just give up the food he had finally gotten his hands on.
After all, the food stored at home wasn't enough to get through the winter.
"Um!"
Fang Yuan nodded, then found a place to start digging again.
This time, her strength had returned, and digging the soil was a breeze for her.
After digging up the entire sweet potato plant, she buried a black crystal at the bottom of the pit.
"Brother, look~~ I've found something good again."
Fang Yuan picked up the crystal and shouted at Fang Qi.
The crystal she took out could probably be exchanged for four to five thousand credits, which Fang Qi would then exchange.
"You found another energy stone just like that?"
Fang Qi stared at Fang Yuan in disbelief for a moment, then exclaimed:
"Are you perhaps God's favorite daughter? It's such a waste to have you stay at home all this time."
He never imagined that his sister could find energy stones while digging for sweet potatoes. He felt that his family had really held her back in the past.
"That's right, I'm really lucky. Let's see if you'll still be willing to take me out in the future, hmph." Fang Yuan replied, feigning smugness.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll definitely take you with me from now on!" Fang Qi nodded and smiled as he looked at the crystal in his hand.
However, the two were still immersed in their joy.
The system then poured cold water on Fang Yuan's hopes.
[Host, a wild boar is chasing Xiao Qi from two kilometers away.]
