“My niece is right,” Village Chief Li agreed with Jiang Qinyu first, as was his habit. “Let’s look around here again tomorrow during the day. Maybe we can find a water source without digging a well!”
Someone immediately whispered, "But village chief, we haven't been back for two days..."
“Well, since things have come to this, we can’t give up halfway. Tomorrow, let some people take the supplies down the mountain and exchange them with the people guarding the village. The day after tomorrow, let those who haven’t come up. We’ll take turns handling everything here before going back.” Village Chief Li made the decision immediately.
Drilling a well is a project that is neither too big nor too small. If it can be avoided, it is best not to drill, so as to save time and effort. If not much water is found, the villagers will complain about him.
It's getting late tonight. Village Chief Li and the others didn't get any rest last night, and many of them are feeling the strain now.
"Let's go, let's all go back to the cave first. Get some rest tonight, and we'll make arrangements tomorrow," Village Chief Li said to Meng Tianze and the others.
Then he looked at Jiang Qinyu and said, "Niece, why don't you stay and not go back tomorrow?"
This girl can't go back, otherwise, how could a rough old man like him lead people to find so much food and water?
Besides, he always felt that this girl was lucky, and bringing her along might bring them some surprises.
“Yes, it’s not too late to go back after we find water.” Jiang Qinyu nodded.
Although she was worried about Shufan and Pan'er, the system also only had three days to complete this mission. If she went down the mountain, it would be too late to go back in.
The group had moved all the prey to an open area outside the cave and covered it with a large net to prevent it from being dragged away by other wild animals.
Upon seeing Jiang Qinyu and the others return, many people stepped forward to inquire about the situation. Village Chief Li explained the discovery and decision he had just made.
“The village chief is right. We don’t lack food now, but we lack water. Since there is a possibility of finding an underground water source, we can’t let it go easily.”
"Yes, I'm willing to stay and help anyway."
"Uncles, please stay here tomorrow. Liu Yazi, my brothers, and I will take the game back to the village first. We'll need the aunties to take care of it!"
“Ah Shao is right, these wild animals won’t keep in this weather, we need to take them back and process them first…”
Seeing that they were discussing things amicably, Jiang Qinyu felt relieved and returned to her cave first.
Just like last night, Jiang Qinyu hung a cloth at the entrance of the cave, quickly washed herself, and then lay down, opening the system in her mind.
She hasn't looked at the grain and oil section yet, even after it was unlocked.
The entire system is the flagship store of a large supermarket that Jiang Qinyu inherited, and the unlocked grain and oil section is also the flagship store's grain and oil section.
Jiang Qinyu remembered that she had just restocked the main store before she transmigrated and had also added some new brands to the store.
When Jiang Qinyu realized she had arrived at the grain and oil section, she was almost overjoyed.
As the largest private supermarket in Beijing, the entire grain and oil section is nearly 100 square meters, with shelves and stocking areas fully occupied.
Looking at the dazzling array of goods, Jiang Qinyu felt satisfied but couldn't help but sigh, "If only you could categorize and count the varieties and quantities for me..."
The moment this idea popped into Jiang Qinyu's head, she saw a light screen suddenly appear above the grain and oil section, displaying the statistical information of the goods in the grain and oil section in a loop.
Jiang Qinyu's eyes widened. This system could hear her thoughts?
It doesn't seem so. For example, when she complains that the system is unreliable, the system pretends to be dead.
It seems that when her thoughts contain keywords that trigger system functions, the system will display corresponding functions or prompts.
Having figured out the nature of another system, Jiang Qinyu was in a great mood and began to look at the statistics of the grain and oil section with great satisfaction.
The total amount of various types of rice is 2,400 jin, flour 1,300 jin, millet 420 jin, mung beans...
This light screen is quite intelligent. Wherever Jiang Qinyu's consciousness stops, the light screen will pause scrolling there, and it will even scroll up and down and turn pages according to her consciousness.
After reading the information from the grain and oil section, Jiang Qinyu felt incredibly relieved.
Based on the current state of the system, once she unlocks all the areas, she will definitely unlock the supermarket's warehouse as well, which is currently well-stocked.
Now she was relieved. No matter what others did, at least she wouldn't starve to death in this world.
In a good mood, Jiang Qinyu turned her attention to the cashier; she still had half a bottle of cola left from last night.
However, Jiang Qinyu searched the freezer several times but couldn't find the half-bottle of cola left over from last night.
Jiang Qinyu was dumbfounded. What was going on? Did this system have another owner? Who stole her cola?
In a short moment, many questions flashed through Jiang Qinyu's mind.
Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure it out, Jiang Qinyu's consciousness swept back to the place where she had taken the bread, and then she was dumbfounded again.
Wait a minute, she clearly remembered taking all the bread from the top box out and sharing it with Shufan and Pan'er. How come there's still a box there now, and it's half full of bread?
Something's not right," Jiang Qinyu frowned, her mind scanning the cashier area several times.
Then she suddenly stopped, thinking of a certain possibility, and then Jiang Qinyu in reality sat up abruptly, her eyes widening in disbelief.
This system can actually be reset!
But only the things she ate will be reset; the things Shufan and Pan'er ate will be permanently lost.
Jiang Qinyu's eyes lit up at the thought of this possibility.
If that's the case, then she'll never go hungry again!
Thinking about it, that makes sense. As the host, the system naturally has to ensure her survival first. Only if she lives can she continuously unlock different areas and allow the system to continuously upgrade.
Having figured this out, Jiang Qinyu lay down again.
He reviewed the map of water source distribution that he had memorized before gradually drifting off to sleep.
Tonight was truly fruitful; she even had a smile on her face as she fell asleep.
Because she was in a good mood, Jiang Qinyu got up very early the next day. However, compared to Chen Shao and the others who were going to take their prey back, she was still late because they had already left.
“Niece, let’s go and check out the underground water source as soon as possible. Whether it exists or not, if we find out, we can go back sooner,” Village Chief Li said with a smile.
Jiang Qinyu felt a little embarrassed. She knew without a doubt that Village Chief Li was waiting for her. "Uncle Village Chief, why didn't you go with Uncle Erleng and the others first? I could find the place."
“It’s still early, let’s go together.” Village Chief Li waited for her without saying a word.
What else is there to say? Let's go.
Only a dozen or so people remained in the mountains today, and they quickly reached a place where there appeared to be a water source.
Jiang Qinyu said, "Uncle Village Chief, shall we split up into groups of three and search separately?"
“Okay, this way we can find it faster.” Village Chief Li nodded quickly.
Jiang Qinyu, Old Man Lu, and Meng Tianze went to the southwest.
This is the possible direction of the water source entrance that Jiang Qinyu analyzed based on the map prompts last night.
