Chapter 9: This is a famine, why are you all so gossipy?



While Xiushui was thinking this, Mengmeng's voice continued to sound.

"I found three edible Chinese loaches, one male and one female, with 15% of their original bloodline, which gives me 55 points.

The host is awesome, the dream is there, the food is there, the host, keep going and create the first place in your KPI! "

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

After hearing that there were only fifty or so points, Xiushui got angry.

"Only fifty-five points, what the hell are you yelling about?"

Tongzi seemed to be stunned by the yelling. After a moment of silence, Mengmeng's aggrieved voice sounded.

"But, host, you said the last time we collected something, it was all grass and no meat to eat.

Even though the fish collected this time is precious, it can be eaten after the host raises it.

Being edible means the host has meat to eat, and Meng Meng is happy for the host... is that wrong..."

Was that sound wrong? It was so vague and long.

If the real thing existed, Mengmeng would definitely be standing in front of him with tears in her eyes.

Xiushui's heart trembled. She... seemed too fierce.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you. It's just... I thought there would be a few hundred points. I expected too much.

Finally... forget it, I won't say anymore. This time I was wrong, I apologize to you."

"Wow, if apologies were effective, why would we hire programmers? If apologies were effective, the governors wouldn't have to work themselves to death to create KPIs..."

Then, a series of crying sounds came into my head.

You can confront Tongzi head-on, or you can play tricks on it.

But yelling at people and making them cry wronged the entire system...

"Then... I'll buy you a skin."

"Really? Really? Host, you are so awesome, so amazing. Ugh, Tongzi loves you the most, I can even build a huge wall for you and for love."

What did this Tongzi watch in his free time? Xiushui has now turned into an emotionless machine.

“The cheapest kind.”

"The flattery came to an abrupt end, and at the end, a series of whimpering sounds were heard."

"Even the cheapest one is not available."

“…”

Finally, Tongzi's aggrieved voice was heard.

“Host, Tongzi’s latest skin costs one point. Just add one more point, and people can raise a pet with a picture on it…

Just one more, really…”

Actually, just one point more is not unacceptable. However, the host of the avatar machine has no emotions.

"If I say it's the cheapest, then it's the cheapest. No more nonsense."

"Okay, the host has placed an order. Woo, I've got a new skin."

Then, the screen that was originally slowly blooming turned into a black plum blossom picture.

This plum blossom is really beautiful, but the interface is black!!

If it weren't for this, it wouldn't have been made into a special edition.

"This one is also very beautiful. Tongzi, your aesthetic taste needs to be improved."

After saying this, Xiushui walked away decisively.

Humph, of course I can't easily satisfy Tongzi the first time I coax him. If he agrees easily this time, he will be even more demanding in the future.

After taking the loaches, I kept three for the system, sorted the others, chopped them up, and sprinkled them all into the porridge.

Because he stole his younger brothers' loaches, Xiushui added some minced meat that he had exchanged for points.

Then, when drinking the porridge, everyone's eyes lit up after drinking the first bowl.

"Wow, so fragrant... so chewy..." Chang Tong ate incoherently.

The adorable twin boy and girl from the sixth room were also enjoying their meal with relish.

"From now on, dig more loaches and make porridge for Sister Xiushui...it's so delicious..."

The little girl was five years old, the same age as Chang Tong. She ate while looking at Xiushui with starry eyes.

Xiushui was so cute that she reached out to touch her little head, but her sixth uncle Wen Subei pointed it out lightly.

"Why does it taste like pork to me?"

Xiushui was shocked. Uncle Six must have a dog nose. How could there be a little bit of pork mixed with slightly fishy loach...

You can taste it too!

You know, there are wild vegetables mixed in here.

Dad is still awesome.

"We haven't eaten meat in a long time. Even eating some loach porridge can make our mouths full of the delicious meat. There's nothing more to say. We'll get some food when we get the chance.

Otherwise, our family’s food supply will be very difficult to come by!”

His words diverted everyone's attention from the meat or the loach. Everyone thought of the little food they had, and their hearts became heavy.

The children saw that the adults looked worried and knew when to stop, so they kept silent.

The old lady took a look and thought, "No, this is not good. The attention has been diverted. Why is the morale so low? How can this be acceptable?"

"Why are you all so sad? I, an old woman, am not sad at all. You people with hands and feet, families and mouths, why are you so sad?

Everyone cheered up. Today, while everyone was on the road, they picked vegetables and looked for wild vegetables and other wild food.

Fourth brother, you take the sixth brother and the third brother with you to weave more straw ropes and straw mats.

Oh, and leave a knot at each corner of the straw mat so we can use it not only as a mat but also as a sleeping mat at night."

"My daughters-in-law, while you keep an eye on the kids, please find me as much food and wild vegetables as you can.

Once they are found, they will be handed over to Xiushui for safekeeping.

By the way, from now on, all the food in our house will be given to Xiushui, and she will be responsible for its safekeeping.

That’s right, if you see good firewood, you can’t let it go.”

"Okay, mother."

“As for you kids, the older ones take care of the younger ones, and those who are able can pull some grass.

Those who are not capable or have short legs, if you are really tired, you can take turns to get on the bus and rest. Do you understand?"

"I understand, grandma."

A group of babies were crying out together, full of energy and vitality.
