Chapter 55: Collection Mission in the Exchange Hall



I took the earliest bus back to Dawn City and bought the ticket to go into the city. As soon as Shen Tangtang returned to the shanty town in the South District, she saw the two people squatting in circles at the door of her house and sighed softly, "Get up!"

Two people are whispering to each other.

“…”

“…”

"Tangtang, you're back!"

Lin Daiyu, who was beaten to the punch by Jiang Li, froze for a moment, glared at her fiercely, and then asked gently, "Tangtang, you're finally back! Where did you go yesterday? Do you know how worried I was?"

Shen Tangtang opened the door and invited the two in. After taking a big sip of water, she answered, “I made Sister Dai Yu worried. I accidentally fell into a trap used by hunters in the past yesterday. When I woke up from a coma, it was already dark, so I hid.”

Shen Tangtang explained why she didn't come back last night. Although she made it up, when she was away from home, she should use her skills of talking nonsense well if she could.

What's more, it's impossible for her to really tell the two reborn heroines in detail about what happened yesterday.

Lin Daiyu stepped forward with concern and checked Shen Tangtang's body up and down. When he saw her fair little face after washing off the black charcoal, he found a scratch on it. A complicated expression passed across his face. Tangtang was really loved by God.

Chen Tangtang's skin color never gets tanned. She used to be pale and thin because she didn't eat well. But now after eating well and cleansing her essence and marrow in the cave, her face is as white as tender tofu.

Looking at the scabbed wound on her face, he said distressedly, "I'm glad you're back. There are so many mutant beasts in the wild at night. I couldn't sleep well after I found out you were missing yesterday."

Jiang Li had been waiting for so long that he was thirsty. He stopped drinking water, put down the scoop, squeezed Lin Daiyu away, and looked at Shen Tangtang with sparkling eyes. "Me too, me too. I was also very worried about you. I didn't sleep well last night. Look, I have dark circles under my eyes."

[687, see, I told you Shen Tangtang would be fine. Besides her clothes being a little torn and a cut on her face, how could someone who had spent a whole night in the wild and was safe and sound die so easily just because of the cold weather?]

[Host, everyone is equal under natural disasters!]

[Criticism~ Then why is it that no one dies of cold in the aristocratic and military districts every winter? Only in the shanty towns and slums is everyone equal, right?]

As Jiang Li finished speaking, what followed was the daily banter between her and the system - Jiang Li bantering with her system.

Shen Tangtang rubbed her ears, looked at her with complicated eyes, and nodded gently, “Thank you for your concern, I’m fine now.”

"By the way, Sister Dai Yu, didn't you go out to scavenge today?"

"I've already come back. It's not far away, in the planting area outside the East Gate. This year's mutant rice is ripe. The redemption hall issued a task last night, and each resident can only claim it once."

Lin Daiyu took the sack and put it next to the firewood, and answered Shen Tangtang’s question gently.

"No wonder, there's still a mission tomorrow, right?"

Thinking of the millions of acres of mutant rice planted in Dawn City, Shen Tangtang puffed out her cheeks. She had some ideas about this rice. The mutant rice planted this year was a new variety developed by the Special Safety City Research Institute in District 1. It was said that it was particularly resistant to high temperatures, drought, and radiation. The only drawback was that it matured later than other crops.

As for whether it tastes good or not, rice as a staple food has never been considered as a question of whether it tastes good or not. The issue is whether it can fill the stomach.

"Yes, the residents of Dawn City can collect some of the food and hand it over to the mercenaries in their respective areas."

Although Lin Daiyu was talking, his hands did not stop moving. He had just started the fire.

Jiang Li leaned against the wall, looking at the two people getting along naturally, and suddenly a sour feeling welled up in her heart. She was such a grown-up standing there, and they couldn't see her, right?

The crickets in their hearts and the system were crazy...

"Okay, I'm going back first, you have a good rest!"

"By the way, Bai Yanjun's mother is also gone."

At this point, a smile appeared on Lin Daiyu's face, and there was an unshakable madness in his eyes.

He glanced at Jiang Li who was silent beside him and said, "Brother Yanjun is very sad now."

It's time for you to take action. Don't let her down. Since we can't be friends in the previous life, then be a pawn in my hands!

Jiang Li smacked her lips when she heard this. She was finding it increasingly difficult to understand Lin Daiyu. All of his actions were completely different from the novel. Moreover, she had no idea in her previous life that Lin Daiyu was so crazy.

Shen Tangtang followed her words and drove people away, “You guys go back, be careful on the road.”

These days, people basically don’t stay for dinner, not to mention that these two people don’t need to eat.

Jiang Li wanted to say something but was pulled out of the shanty house by Lin Daiyu. Shen Tangtang could only hear the sound of the two of them pushing each other.

Sister Dai Yu has really changed. She knows how to manipulate people's hearts and can even "live in peace" with her enemies from her previous life. Her relationship with herself seems to have not changed much, but she knows that Lin Daiyu's spying on the wooden sign is not over yet.

After the two left, Shen Tangtang used her wood-related abilities to heal the wound on her face and continued to do her own thing.

the next day.

After Shen Tangtang received the task and registered her name, she followed the mercenary to the area where she had drawn the number.

No. 245, each number has half an acre of land.

She was very lucky, the mutant rice in this area grew very well.

The rice in the wasteland looks like small saplings, with rice grains as big as an adult man's fist hanging on the rice ears as thick as wrists. No wonder it is said that many people have enough to eat after this kind of rice became popular.

Dawn City is a remote intermediate-level safe city. Its level was actually only upgraded more than ten years ago. Many crop research results have not been popularized here, so people still rely on scavenging in the wild to make a living.

This time, it just so happened that I heard that the mutant rice was obtained by Major Ling Shaoqing of the military region through his connections.

The rice grains were heavy. When the outer skin was cut with a dagger, the white rice was exposed. It was not as translucent as the rice in the previous life. It gave off a faint rice fragrance, but it was not very strong.

[Test results: Hybrid rice 101.3 radiation value 42%, edible.]

[Test results: Hybrid rice 101.3 radiation value 37%, edible.]

[Test results: Hybrid rice 101.3 radiation value 45%, edible.]

There are 260 rice grains growing on one rice plant, and none of them has a radiation value exceeding 50%, and none of them has a radiation value lower than 10%.

Can be eaten.

Also very productive.

"Gudong~Gudong~"

Shen Tangtang hid in the shade of the rice, drinking the water of life in big gulps.

I shook the kettle, and there really wasn't a drop left...

I glanced at the time on my hand and it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Seeing the six sacks of rice piled under the rice stalks, I felt that all the effort was worth it.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and picked up the straw hat next to him and put it on his head.

"Little girl, you have a good catch. Come, weigh yourself here."

The mercenary sitting under the straw shed saw Shen Tangtang coming over with a sack, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to help take it down.
