There is still one person who can't sleep tonight.
The soul of a certain non-official ghost officer left his body and ran back and forth in the Daqing Mountains, almost becoming a residual shadow. Wherever he passed, ghosts and monsters trembled in fear.
He finally has a name!!!
Yi Qingqing calmed down only after she roughly drew today's scene in the thatched hut.
On the first day of the new year, the promised reward for the college entrance examination skills did not come, but she could now count down her gains this year.
This year, apart from signing in on Yun Guyuan, she did not spend any sign-in points anywhere else. Adding the sign-in points she earned from merit rewards during the worship activities, as well as the sign-in points for reaching level 3 in hunting skills and planting skills, her current sign-in point balance has exceeded 1,000 and reached 1,056.
New year, new atmosphere, her personal space needs a makeover too!
Yi Qingqing clicked on the upgrade icon of the portable space skill.
At this moment, she was in the thatched hut in her portable space. The virtual simulation scenery outside the window suddenly became hazy and then expanded.
In front of the thatched house there was fertile black soil, on which there was a well, and outside was an endless field.
It seemed that apart from the dividing line between grass and soil, there was no difference between the black soil and the distant scenery. Even the sunlight from the sky was shining on both areas at the same time. But Yi Qingqing knew that the black soil was real!
At the same time, the information of the skill "Personal Space" has also changed.
[Special Skill: Portable Space]
[Level 3: 1,000 square meters, no height limit, planting area appears, including land, light, and wells (only items in the residential area can be kept fresh for a long time)]
[Next level: 5,000 square meters, unlocking the breeding area, where animals can grow normally]
[Upgrade cost: 10,000 sign-in points]
The Level 4 portable space unlocks the animal breeding function, but Yi Qingqing is not very interested in this. Moreover, the upgrade is so expensive. If she continues to save up like this, it will take her decades.
Instead of spending all that effort to accumulate check-in points, you might as well spend them on other things and live a good life for a few decades.
Unless she has too many sign-in points one day and can’t use them all, she will consider using this place.
[The portable space has been upgraded to level 3, and new magical items have been added to the system store. Please check it out in time! ]
There are new things on the shelves. Yi Qingqing opened the system store and found three new items at once.
【Spiritual Spring Eye】
[Introduction: A special item, dedicated to the planting area of the portable space. In the wells in the planting area, the ordinary water in the wells can be turned into spiritual spring water. The spiritual spring water can nourish the plants in the planting area, making their survival rate higher and their quality better.]
[Price: 10 check-in points/year]
【Quantity: 1】
【Speed Fence】
[Introduction: Special item, dedicated to the portable space planting area, a fence that can be expanded, reduced, split or changed in shape at will. Encircling the land with an accelerated fence can change the time flow rate of the plants on this land. On the plot with an accelerated fence, the time of the plants will eventually stagnate at the optimal maturity period by default, and no sign-in points will be consumed after stagnation.]
[Price: 1 sign-in point, charged according to fence size, acceleration multiple, usage time and type of plants in the fence]
【Quantity: 1】
【Planting Area Expansion Card】
[Introduction: Special item, dedicated to the planting area of the portable space. After use, it can expand the size of the planting area of the portable space.]
[Price: 10 check-in points/acre]
[Quantity: Unlimited]
After seeing these three new magical things, Yi Qingqing had only one thought: the system store never disappoints.
If the happiness of owning a planting space is one, then the happiness of owning a planting space with a spiritual spring that can accelerate the growth of plants is ten thousand. Moreover, as long as you are willing to spend money, this space can be expanded infinitely.
It was only then that Yi Qingqing discovered that after the upgrade, the extra planting area was actually 1,000 square meters. In other words, the 1,000 square meters of the level 3 portable space was an additional addition and was not based on the original residential area.
In fact, her current personal space consists of a 500-cubic-meter thatched-roof residential area plus a 1,000-square-meter planting area.
The system store directly grasped Yi Qingqing's itch.
She must buy these three things!
However, there is no rush to get the planting area expansion card. Right now, this piece of land is enough for her for the time being. However, the spiritual spring and acceleration fence can be purchased.
The spiritual spring is a crystal blue water ball, which disappears after being thrown into the well.
Before and after the investment, she fetched a bucket of water and took a sip. There was no difference in taste, and the water quality was better than the well outside the educated youth site.
She didn't feel any effect like the ones written in those online novels in her previous life, such as cleansing the tendons and marrow. It seems that this water is indeed only for plants.
The acceleration fence is just two flat bamboo strips in your hand, but if you pull the two bamboo strips apart, more retractable bamboo strips will appear in the middle. When inserted into the ground, it becomes a fence. It can be large or small, and can be split into multiple pieces.
In Yi Qingqing’s New Year gift package last year, the gifts related to planting skills included not only vegetable seeds, but also seeds of common fruits and nuts. This year, there are even more common herbal seeds. You can try them now.
With these seeds, she no longer has to go to the mountains to find seedlings.
I must have the chestnut tree I've been longing for.
Yi Qingqing went to the utility room and found a chestnut tree seed, buried it in the ground outside the thatched house, and then placed the acceleration fence around it.
Then there was a speed-up scheme on the fence.
【Acceleration Solution】
[1. Mature in one day: one chestnut tree, fence area of 16 square meters, speed up 1460 times, 24 sign-in points required]
[2. Mature in January: One chestnut tree, fence area of 16 square meters, 48 times acceleration, 1 sign-in point required] (with energy remaining)
[3. Mature in one year: one chestnut tree, fence area of 16 square meters, speed up 4 times, consume 1 sign-in point] (there is energy remaining)
【4. Customization】
(The remaining energy will be stored in the acceleration fence and will continue to be consumed the next time it is used)
This price is much cheaper than Yi Qingqing expected. Although the ones that mature in one day are a bit expensive, the ones that mature in one month or one year are very cheap, and there is still energy left after one check-in point.
And the remaining energy will not be lost and can be used next time.
Yi Qingqing thought about it and decided to make it one that would mature in one year and consume 1 sign-in point. As long as one year later, she would have a chestnut tree that could bear fruit every year. Normally, it takes about 4 years for chestnuts to grow from seeds into saplings that can bear fruit.
Then she widened the fence and planted another chestnut seed in every other area. Adding the two together, there was still 1 check-in point left.
So she widened the fence and continued to bury fruit tree seeds in it, gradually trying.
【Acceleration Solution】
…
[3. Mature in one year: two chestnut trees, two peach trees, one persimmon tree, the fence needs to be 75 square meters, needs to be accelerated by 4 times, and consumes 1 sign-in point]
Five trees were planted at once, and five seeds were buried in an area of more than 70 square meters in the middle of the fence. Yi Qingqing carefully watered the land with the spiritual spring water, and then consumed 1 sign-in point to make the accelerated fence take effect.
With the fence and the spiritual spring water, planting seems to be no longer difficult.
This sign-in point is really worth it.
Then she used the acceleration fence to enclose a small vegetable plot and a small medicinal field. She did not add check-in points to the fences for these two places.
The climate in this space is suitable, and the vegetable seeds and medicinal herb seeds she has now are all very common herbs with a short growth cycle, and they are all easy to obtain outside.
She was not in a hurry to use them. Many of the herbs she got as rewards in the New Year gift packs were still unused. She just let them grow in their most natural state.
She didn't have any herbal seeds like ginseng.
Yi Qingqing wanted to try planting some herself first. The main purpose of building a fence was to separate the plants from the others, and when the plants within the fence matured, they would be kept in their current best condition by default and would not continue to grow. If she did not pick them in time, they would not rot in the ground.
After working in the planting area for a long time, Yi Qingqing finally tidied up the vegetable and medicinal fields and planted the crops.
She stood with her hands on her hips and looked at the land with three more fences, feeling very satisfied.
From now on, no matter where she goes, in the countryside or in the city, she can have her own vegetable garden, orchard and medicinal field.
She would not be afraid even if the world ended tomorrow, because her personal space was basically self-sufficient except that it could not produce meat.
Even if she doesn't have a penny, she can still eat and drink well.
This is a sense of security, this is confidence!
Yi Qingqing admired it for a while, looked down, and felt that there was something missing in the planting area: a gravel path!
This is easy. She just needs to move the gravel road in her backyard here tomorrow!
Anyway, she will leave here soon. It would be great if the stones she picked up with great effort could continue to glow and emit heat in the space!
Because of the 3x acceleration card, it wasn't too late outside, and she even had four full hours to sleep.
In the dream, she, with a golden flower on her head, owned the entire world. She stood on top of the world, with her hands on her hips, shouting, "I am the Lord of the World!"
When she woke up, Yi Qingqing patted her chest to comfort herself. Dreams and reality are opposites. She was a fool in the dream, which must be because she was a serious person in reality!
She wanted to get up and work to wake herself up.
Early in the morning, before dawn, she wrapped herself in a cotton jacket and shoveled away the gravel road in the yard, moved it all into the space, and paved another one there.
Divide the planting area into two halves.
On the left side are fruit trees and vegetables, while on the right side are medicinal herbs and spices.
The work was done and then the sky began to brighten.
Section 151
She prepared some snacks and candies. According to Li Mengxue and others, some children from the team would come over to wish them a happy new year on this day.
Sure enough, Hu Wa and his friends arrived soon. Yi Qingqing generously gave each of them a handful of candy: "Happy New Year!"
In the blink of an eye, Hu Wa graduated from elementary school. In the past few years, these "little" friends have helped her a lot and brought her a lot of happiness.
Seeing Hu Wa and a group of other kids running excitedly to the next house, Yi Qingqing turned around to prepare breakfast.
As soon as the water started to boil, there was a knock on the door.
"Qingqing, I cooked noodles. Let's eat together in the morning!" Yun Guyuan shouted.
"Hey!" Yi Qingqing agreed and opened the door.
Even Yi Qingqing could feel Yun Guyuan's happiness.
Once upon a time, Yi Qingqing thought he was a handsome guy with a cold face, but she didn't know when he started to become much softer and smiled more often.
"Come and sit down first, it will be ready soon," said Yun Guyuan.
Finally, I can legitimately ask Qingqing to have dinner with me! It is only natural to have dinner with someone!
Yi Qingqing thought back to yesterday and was still a little shy, but Yun Guyuan behaved so naturally that it slowly affected her.
But the way the two get along with each other has quietly changed.
Yi Qingqing felt that Yun Guyuan had become a little more clingy, which was mainly reflected in eating with her.
When he heard her cooking in the morning, he called her to eat. When he heard her cooking at noon, he called her to eat again. In the evening, before Yi Qingqing started cooking, she came and knocked on his door, only to find that he was cooking again, and making two portions.
Yi Qingqing: "..."
Although she is happy that her boyfriend cooks three meals a day for her, and he learned the cooking skills from her and his food is delicious, she still feels bad eating his food every day!
But her hearing was not as good as Yun Guyuan's. How could she detect the sound of fire in the house opposite from across the alley?
There was no other way, so Yi Qingqing had to say in advance: "Come to my place for dinner tomorrow!"
"Okay." Yun Guyuan was very obedient. From eating together once a week to eating together three meals a day, what was there for him to object to?
Yi Qingqing was not stupid, she knew that Yun Guyuan wanted to stay with her for a while longer.
In the past, if he wanted to get close to her, he had to find all kinds of reasons and approach her cautiously, but now, he can ask her to have dinner with him whenever he wants.
Yi Qingqing's learning of various skills has now entered a stable period and needs to be accumulated slowly. She can now spend some time accompanying her boyfriend.
It’s nice to have a meal together, especially when the person sitting opposite you is so pleasing to the eye.
The more she looks at him, the prouder she becomes. This handsome and smart man is her partner!
"What are you thinking about? Why are you laughing so happily?" Yun Guyuan couldn't help but ask.
"I miss you!" Yi Qingqing admired her boyfriend and her appetite improved. Her mother was right, good looks really go well with food.
Yi Qingqing suddenly remembered her mother's instructions and her heart skipped a beat. Was she dating without telling her parents?
"I'm thinking, my mother doesn't allow me to find a partner when I go to the countryside, what should we do with our secret relationship?" Yi Qingqing threatened him.
So that's what you were thinking! "We'll be back in the city soon, and then we can have an open relationship. Or maybe you can take me back to visit your parents-in-law during the Chinese New Year!"
It was Yi Qingqing's turn to be dumbfounded: "What?"
