The water in the lake is purchased in limited quantities.
Each person can only buy 200 ml at a time, which isn't even enough to fill a mineral water bottle.
However, there is one exception: purchasing spring water sourced from outside.
Although it was cloudy, and due to the high temperature, it had a foul stench of animal carcasses.
But this water can be used to grow vegetables or for daily hygiene.
Yang Muyi brought a bucket, which was for holding spring water.
The two children clung tightly to the bucket, warily watching their surroundings, while Yang Muyi was paying points with the base staff. Shen Jing glanced at the bucket; indeed, it contained quite a few dead insects.
Fortunately, we didn't see any zombie remains, such as eyeballs.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to walk towards the lake.
"Ah Jing, we're going there later too." Yang Muyi hurriedly grabbed her and whispered to her, "I know a way to get there, where there are fewer people."
Shen Jing nodded meaningfully.
She's really impressive. Given time, Yang Muyi will definitely do very well at the base.
After Yang Muyi finished buying the spring water, they slowly walked towards another exit.
"Why don't you buy lake water first? Isn't it heavy to carry a bucket of water?"
"You don't understand, people will only believe you're leaving if there's water in the bucket."
Then Yang Muyi led her to one of the lake's exits, saying, "Look there."
It turns out that this place not only has lake water, but also fish for sale!
Yang Muyi walked up to a girl with practiced ease. "Zhang Ze, how's the fish today?"
Actually, most of them were dead fish.
The fresh and plump ones have already been transported to other places.
Zhang Ze didn't hide anything and casually said, "These two just died. I can sell them to you once you have enough points to reach 20."
Yang Muyi thought about the points she would get from selling the corpse, and then she thought about how Shen Jing had helped her family of three.
She gritted her teeth and decided to pay for it.
Suddenly, Zhang Ze exclaimed excitedly, "Chen Jing! What are you doing here?"
“?” Shen Jing looked at Zhang Ze blankly.
"Don't you recognize me? I'm your high school classmate!"
"I guess so."
Indeed, no matter where you are, some relationships remain unchanged.
Despite the game's premise and the various intricate relationships, it's all surprisingly well-integrated.
Shen Jing could hardly tell them apart... Did she have a clone traveling between the two worlds?
However, she quickly contradicted herself: she had also contributed to the development of the game!
When her high school classmates saw Shen Jing, they were very excited: "Didn't you go to university in G City? Have you already graduated?"
Shen Jing nodded. "It's in G City. Yes, I've graduated."
"It's been over four years since we last met, and you haven't changed much, haha." Zhang Ze wiped his hands with his clothes, gestured with his chin towards Yang Muyi, and asked, "Is she your friend?"
"She's my current landlady," Shen Jing muttered lazily. "I've clearly grown taller, haven't I?"
There are more ways to make money while in college; she can save up enough for tuition just by streaming games.
So my nutrition kept up, and even though I stayed home a lot, I finally caught up in height.
Back in high school, I was just a tiny little bean sprout.
Zhang Ze laughed heartily, "You're still shorter than me. Consider this fish a small gift to help you get some nutrition!"
Upon hearing this, the two children instinctively swallowed.
However, Shen Jing disagreed, saying, "20 points is something we can afford. Don't break the rules."
Boasting is a standard trait for all men.
Even Zhang Ze was no exception: "Don't be polite with me, I'm the one who calls the shots here!"
"Sure, classmate." Shen Jing looked around; the place resembled a small pond. "You can sell this water too?"
“We draw water from a well, and the base even has a Longjing well!” Zhang Ze didn’t hide anything, and proudly continued, “Now we drink Longjing water, and the water quality is about the same as the one at the temple in H City.”
Shen Jing turned to Yang Muyi and asked, "So you're going to buy well water?"
Yang Muyi was surprised that Shen Jing knew Zhang Ze. She seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment she said, "Yes, it's safer to use well water for drinking and cooking."
Whether the spring water is polluted or not is another matter, but it is definitely not suitable for drinking.
Although the well water from Zhang Ze's place is quite expensive, it's more reliable.
"You know your stuff! The well water here is definitely better than the lake water." Zhang Ze said, taking out a bucket from behind him and handling it skillfully. "Don't be shy, it's rare to see an acquaintance again, before..."
As the words were about to come out, Zhang Ze's expression turned somewhat serious.
It's really rare to run into an acquaintance these days.
Throughout the country and even the world, countless families have been torn apart!
Seeing that none of them were smiling, Zhang Ze quickly changed the subject, saying, "If it's delicious, we'll come back to buy it again next time!"
Since things have already been said to this extent, it would be embarrassing to refuse any further.
Shen Jing took out a stun gun from her bag. It had been seen in front of Yang Muyi, so there was no problem taking it out.
She handed it to Zhang Ze, saying, "You should need this."
"Same old story, you've got it all figured out." Zhang Ze reluctantly accepted it, then, as if unwilling to admit defeat, he made sure to replace the fish with fresh ones and even added an extra one. "This stun gun is definitely from before, and I have enough points to charge it, haha!"
Yang Muyi glanced at Shen Jing before taking the gift, and only accepted it after seeing that Shen Jing agreed.
Then Zhang Ze said, "You're staying at that beautiful guesthouse, right? I wish I had renovated my house too!"
"Come on, little boss, you're trying to steal my tenants!" Yang Muyi glared at him teasingly.
"There's nothing I can do, Jing doesn't like my fish."
