【Get "Ordinary Blind Box"】
Watching Ye Mian pull the rod six times in just a few minutes, but not being able to see what she caught, Xue Kai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He scratched his head and face but couldn't help but asked, "How about taking a break?"
Although Lu Ning was relatively calm, there was still a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Ye Mian was still a little dazed. She pulled the rod out of inertia. She turned her head and looked at the two of them with a subtle expression: "Bring a basin."
Is this a big harvest?
Xue Kai immediately turned around and ran back: "Right away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone was already on his way over with a plastic basin in his hand.
The speed was so fast that Lu Ning felt inferior to him.
Seeing him coming with a basin, Ye Mian temporarily put down his fishing rod and shook out the catch in the basket.
After seeing what was there, the two people squatting nearby almost simultaneously raised their voices in confusion: "Huh?"
“This is really connected to the sea…”
"I underestimated this fish pond..."
"Actually," Ye Mian opened the system warehouse and looked at the two blind boxes that appeared in the grid. He was happy but also a little complicated. "There are other things."
"Um?"
"Anything else?"
The two squatting people looked up at her.
Ye Mian nodded, then opened both blind boxes in front of them.
The two could not see the system interface, they could only see her hand tapping a few times in the air, and then she opened her mouth slightly with an expression of surprise.
The ordinary blind box opens up a big gift pack of condiments, which is not so bad.
The point is this rare blind box.
【Congratulations on getting "Treasure Map" X1! 】
Are you serious?
Or was it not the kind of treasure map she understood?
Ye Mian took out the yellowed brown paper and pointed at it. From the back, it looked similar to the three recipes, but when he opened the front, he found that it was indeed a simple map.
There are several mountains drawn on it, with several roads going up and around the mountains from different directions, and an icon that looks like a tower, and a five-pointed star marked in the middle, representing the location of the treasure.
It really looks like a real place.
After Ye Mian looked at it, he handed it to the two of them.
"It's said to be a treasure map. Can you tell where this is?"
"ah?"
Xue Kai took the brown paper with a puzzled look, then handed it to Lu Ning and ran back to the house to get the map for comparison.
"Yes, it is here. This super tall signal tower is located between Salt City and Carp City. It is quite famous."
Ye Mian and Lu Ning looked at the place he pointed to and were both stunned. It was none other than the mountains behind the villages and towns and industrial park that they had decided to visit in the morning.
Thinking that the two of them rarely go out and are probably a bit directionally challenged, Xue Kai reminded them: "If you are lucky enough to meet a local evolver, you can ask them which mountain is the shortest and which road is the closest to it, so as not to get lost."
"good."
After handing the treasure map back to Ye Mian, Xue Kai thought of something and asked, "Could the treasure in the mountains be some rare mutant beast?"
Lu Ning shrugged: "We'll know when we find it."
Neither she nor Xue Kai held out much hope. After all, if there really was any treasure, it would have been discovered and taken away long before the mutation.
Ye Mian didn't think much about it. After putting the fish into the warehouse, he continued fishing.
However, perhaps it was a bit of a good start. Although there were still many fish caught afterwards, no blind boxes were released again.
After an hour, they harvested more than fifty fish, shrimps and crabs. The plastic basin Xue Kai brought was not enough to hold them all, so he and Lu Ning went to the open space behind the rice field and dug a temporary reservoir, which could be used to raise fish and add water to the rice field at the appropriate time.
However, the harvest did not bring only joy. Looking at the pond of fish, Xue Kai suddenly exclaimed: "I have always lived in an inland city. I don't usually eat seafood, so I don't know how to cook it."
"How about you bring back a cook?"
Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Cooking is a little difficult, but I should be able to find some relevant recipe books."
"That's fine," Xue Kai reluctantly accepted, "Then let's have some simple steamed and braised food tonight."
Ye Mian liked eating anything, and after tasting the fresh and delicate fish, she silently put vegetarian dishes in third place. The first was naturally the rabbit meat, which she ate for two meals in a row.
After dinner, taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do in the evening, the three of them held a brief meeting and discussed a few things.
First, it is rare to go out, so you should bring back whatever you can find, especially some farm tools or semi-manual farm machinery.
Second, too much grain has been harvested so far, so the sowing can be put on hold. We should first plan the expanded area after the upgrade, decide which land to plant what, and which piece to reserve in preparation for seeds that may be obtained in the future.
The last thing is a side note, but also very important - the message board.
Yesterday, Xue Kai bought some things from the stationery section of the supermarket. Now he found an erasable magnetic drawing board and hung it on the wall.
"We can't see the system interface, right? So Ye Mian, just write down the tasks that require our assistance, which will save a lot of time in explaining."
"Also, if you want to eat something or not eat something in the future, you can write it down here, and I will do my best to satisfy you."
"You can also quietly write some suggestions or opinions, such as today's food is too spicy, who made noise at night, etc."
These were the ideas Xue Kai came up with after a day of thinking. After all, the three of them were complete strangers a few days ago. Even if they were to get to know each other, it would still take some time.
So not everything can be said in person, it would be more comfortable to write it down.
Ye Mian nodded first: "This is good."
"Well," Lu Ning had no objection, "Let's focus on the mission."
"Of course."
Having said that, the two of them looked at Ye Mian at the same time, wanting to know if there were any new tasks.
As they wished, Ye Mian stood up and walked over, picked up a pen and wrote a few words.
"It's better to go to bed early today"
“…”
Putting down the pen, Ye Mian turned around and nodded to the two people who were laughing helplessly: "Then I will go upstairs to rest first, good night."
It’s not that she is really obsessed with going to bed early, but there is really nothing she can do immediately.
There are three main tasks that have not been completed yet, and the mysterious plants are already being planted. Employees have to wait until they go out to know whether they can encounter a suitable one. As for the remaining one-day extra gain... there is no rush.
After all, there were 9+1 spiritual essences yesterday, and the extra gains were only a dozen times.
So in Ye Mian's opinion, in order to complete this task, multiple conditions must be met - first of all, the spiritual quality value must be at least 9, then a large number of crops must be planted, such as the hundreds of sweet potato seeds in the warehouse, and finally, there must be enough manpower.
"Just take a shower and go to bed."
After closing the task interface, Ye Mian first went to the bedroom to get the clothes he would wear tomorrow, and then went to the bathroom.
No words were spoken that night.
In the morning, Ye Mian went downstairs sleepily and stood for a while before he realized something seemed wrong.
——Although there was a familiar scent of corn in the air, it was too quiet both inside and outside the house, as if there was no one else there except her.
"Um?"
Ye Mian took a few steps, then turned around and looked at the message board on the wall, only to see that there was an extra sentence under the line she wrote yesterday.
"We're going out for some morning exercise and to scout out the new fields. We'll be back soon."
It was put to use right away.
As soon as he walked out of the house, Ye Mian saw Xue Kai and Lu Ning walking back not far ahead, and Da Hei was following closely behind them.
When the two men and the dog came closer, Ye Mian discovered that Lu Ning was holding a bird with black and white feathers in his hand.
Unlike the previous mutant osprey, this was just a low-level mutant bird. Apart from being slightly larger and having an excessively long and sharp beak, it had no other mutations.
Ye Mian subconsciously thought that Dahei had gone out hunting again, but after a closer look, he found that something was wrong - there was no scar on the bird's body, and not a single feather had fallen off.
It couldn't be that the bird hit Lu Ning's fist by itself, right?
"This is?"
"We found it outside the farm," Lu Ning put the bird on the ground and showed it to Ye Mian. "It looked like it died of natural causes, but Xue Kai said he smelled a bit of burnt odor, so it's very likely that it was electrocuted by a sudden burst of high voltage."
Xue Kai shrugged: "After all, it's unharmed. It can't be a gift from nature."
The outside world has long been without electricity, and only the farm still has electricity.
Ye Mian realized something: "Maybe it's because the farm's defenses have been upgraded, and trespassing without permission will trigger a punishment mechanism."
As she spoke, she opened the farm information in the system, and when she scrolled down, she found new content below.
【Farm Log】
【3.17: The farm has been upgraded! 】
【3.18: The defense grid has been activated and successfully shot down an illegal visitor. 】
It is indeed so.
Hearing that it was thanks to the farm's own defenses, the two felt more relieved.
Along the way, they were also worried about whether there were other unknown dangers or whether there were new problems among the mutants.
“Can I eat this?”
After Ye Mian nodded in confirmation, Lu Ning dragged the slightly fat bird to a corner and continued to be responsible for handling it.
Xue Kai went straight into the kitchen to prepare more breakfast.
It seemed that Ye Mian went upstairs to rest very early last night, but in fact he had been lying in bed reading the tool encyclopedia and plant illustrations for a long time. Now he walked around the fields, looking at the rice fields that had turned golden like the wheat, and his mind slowly became clear.
Just now, she took a look at today's spiritual value, which was not high, only 5+1.
The mysterious seeds that were planted the night before have not shown any signs of growth. The peaches and olives are growing slower than expected, just slightly taller than a person, and their branches and leaves are sparse and not fully grown yet.
So today is really... a rare day of leisure.
However, the next morning was completely different and busy and tense.
Seeing Lu Ning doing warm-up exercises here, Xue Kai was preparing various cooked and raw foods over there, so that Ye Mian could take them out to find a suitable trading partner.
Ye Mian put away the specific route map she had just received, as well as the thick map that Xue Kai gave her to keep as he said they might need it more. She went outside to feed Dahei first, then found some wild Panax notoginseng, trampled on it and successfully rubbed her hands with pollen, making final preparations for going out.
