Chapter 161 A Great Swindler
While busy preparing the sauce, Lu Yu still craned his neck to ask, "Sis, what kind of perk?"
In their minds, Meng Shiwan had always been very generous to them, never stingy with food and drink.
The benefits she mentioned are definitely better than just good food and drink.
The others also stared wide-eyed at Meng Shiwan, their faces full of anticipation.
The scene resembled baby birds in their nest with their mouths wide open, waiting for their mother to feed them.
Meng Shiwan: ...
She took out cards. "Come on, everyone take one and put your fingerprints on the card."
The group stood up, walked up to Meng Shiwan, received transparent cards, and looked at them over and over, not knowing what they were for.
Lei Zhe asked, puzzled, "Sis, what's this? What's the use of a little card?"
Jiang Yuan looked at it over and over again, "It's so clear, it should work great for applying screen protectors to phones."
Anjiewen: ? ?
He looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "You weren't in the business of applying screen protectors to phones before the apocalypse, were you?"
Jiang Yuan replied matter-of-factly, "Yeah, those who set up screen protector stalls, they only do that at night markets."
Anjawen: ...
Tao Yarong asked, "Sister, is this our team member's identification tag?"
Seeing that their conversation was getting more and more outrageous, Meng Shiwan replied, "These are space cards. Each card currently has one cubic meter of space, and it can be expanded and upgraded. Ten crystal cores can expand it by one cubic meter. If you have crystal cores, you can come to me to expand it."
Lei Zhe, who was casually examining the card in his hand, suddenly trembled and quickly and carefully held it in his palm, as if afraid of damaging it even slightly.
"Empty, spatial cards? There are such good things?"
Tao Yarong was also surprised, "Space cards? There are such superpowers? We can use space now?"
One cubic meter of space may not seem like much, but for them, it's an absolutely invaluable asset.
It brings a lot of convenience when used to store food, daily necessities, etc.
The key point is that it can be upgraded; you can expand the space by taking the crystal core to Meng Shiwan.
You can really buy good things with crystal cores here. Before, there was a power-enhancing liquid, and now there's a spatial dimension.
Ma Jiandong held the card with great delight, exclaiming, "Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! We have space to use! We actually have space to use!"
Lu Yu wanted to cry, "Back then, we were determined to stick with you, and our decision was absolutely right. Space, I have space now too."
Even though they had seen a lot of the world by following Meng Shiwan, this spatial card still shocked them.
Whether this space is due to my own superpower or how I obtained it is not important.
The important thing is that they have space to use, which is pretty awesome.
Lei Zhe's eyes were practically sparkling as he looked at Meng Shiwan.
"Sister, you're so kind. You really give us your good stuff. I'd go through fire and water for you."
Meng Shiwan: ...
She set these people to be able to save and retrieve their data.
Aside from Meng Shiwan having absolute control over the space within their cards and having no privacy in front of her, their usage is actually no different from that of space ability users.
Everyone was praising Meng Shiwan, but the system was complaining, "A shrewd businessman."
Meng Shiwan previously sold the power-enhancing liquid to her teammates for double the price, and now she's selling the space for ten times the price.
That's outrageous! A complete swindler! Even the system can't stand it anymore.
Qiu Zhiyi shouted, "Crystal core, crystal core, crystal core! From now on, I will never coexist with zombies!"
Crystal cores are really good stuff, because you can exchange them for even better things from Meng Shiwan.
Meng Shiwan sighed helplessly, "The fish and crabs in the pot will get too tough if you steam them any longer."
Lu Yu then came to his senses, "Right, right, the seafood is ready to eat."
He quickly turned off the stove and put the food on a plate.
This time, we didn't catch a lot of seafood, but we prepared it in many different ways, from steaming to boiling. The simpler the cooking method, the more you can taste the freshness and sweetness of the seafood.
Having benefited from the deal, Lei Zhe stopped competing with Taxue, saying, "If Taxue likes it, she can eat more. We'll scoop some more after she's done."
Ta Xue tilted her head: ? ? ?
The cat-like punches didn't subdue Razer, but a spatial card did make him stop being possessive of his food.
The fishing boats moved steadily forward on the calm sea.
There were no waves, and the sea was as smooth as a mirror, a clear blue.
Everyone on the boat was busy; apart from those who took turns navigating the boat, everyone else was working on the farm.
Harvested fruits and vegetables, cleaned them thoroughly, and stored them in Zhou Wen's card space.
The vegetable leaves that were broken off were usually used for stir-frying, but there were too many to eat. The women figured out that some could be dried in the sun, and others could be pickled.
In short, we should try every possible way to preserve these vegetable leaves so that we can eat them for as long as possible.
When the team members have free time, they also help out at the farm.
With the efforts of twenty or thirty people, the harvest was completed in three or four days, and a new batch of fruits and vegetables was also planted.
The farm was well-maintained. Meng Shiwan packed it up, and the green fields disappeared into the azure sea.
On the deck of the fishing boat, there was a small mountain of vegetable leaves, all of which were old and yellowed leaves that had been discarded from the vegetables.
Aside from its less-than-ideal appearance, it doesn't affect the taste at all.
The survivors were busy dealing with the situation and trying to preserve the items.
Zhou Wen walked up to Meng Shiwan with the spatial card in his hand. "Sister, all the fruits and vegetables we harvested these past few days are inside."
Once the work is done, the items must be handed in.
He's just an ordinary person; how could he dare to occupy space without giving it to others?
Such a magical thing didn't belong to him.
Meng Shiwan didn't take it. "I've taken the fruits and vegetables inside. You can keep the space card. I'll leave you one cubic meter of space to use. You can access it freely. Consider it a reward for your hard work in planting these past few days."
Meng moved 99 cubic meters of fruits and vegetables to combine with the refrigerator space.
Zhou Wen's space card has one cubic meter remaining, which can be considered his private space card.
Zhou Wen was immediately moved beyond words, "Thank you so much, sister. I am so grateful to you. I am someone who has a space now."
Space! He, an ordinary person, actually has the ability to use space.
Before meeting Meng Shiwan, he had always longed to live a good life.
Now we can not only eat meat and vegetables, but also have a space like spatial ability users. This is too good to be true.
Meng Shiwan instructed him, "Don't tell anyone else about the farm and the card space. Keep your mouth shut."
Zhou Wen quickly replied, "I understand, I understand. I will explain it to you again and again, don't worry."
Anyone with a brain knows what arable farmland means in the apocalypse.
You definitely can't go around talking about this kind of thing.
Zhou Wen had a cubic meter of space, which he filled to the brim with vegetable leaves for later consumption.
Having grain in hand made him feel much more at ease.
After several days of sailing, they were far from the coast.
Looking around, all I could see was the endless sea.
It was empty and desolate, quite oppressive.
