Zhou Zhuxing nodded, and Yu Bing whispered a complaint from the side: "Boss, you lied. You said it was a villa, but it turned out to be abandoned. We have to redo everything ourselves..."
This was the first time Cheng Shuili had been called out like this to her face, but it didn't matter; she had thick skin. She gave a light cough and defended herself: "It's still a villa, isn't it? It's so big, you can live wherever you want."
Yu Bing agreed with that; after all, by comparison, it was certainly much more comfortable than living inside a vehicle.
Most importantly, this place was truly safe. There was no need to be on edge every single moment, and once a person felt relaxed, everything felt better.
"Oh, right."
Yu Bing's gaze was eager as she raised her hand to rub her stomach and asked: "Boss, when are we eating?"
Lunch?
Cheng Shuili glanced at the time. It was about time for a meal; today had certainly been a hectic morning.
Qi Wanyi should have it ready by now.
She smiled gently: "What's the rush? There's enough for both of you."
Zhou Zhuxing, standing to the side, didn't speak, but she seemed relieved and let out a quiet sigh.
Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow slightly: "Come to think of it, where did you get these seeds?"
She was asking for trade secrets directly.
Yu Bing became nervous, her eyes darting toward Zhou Zhuxing.
Zhou Zhuxing gave a small cough, adopted a professional attitude, and said softly: "I bought them in the beastman town. My vehicle is unique, and I caught the attention of an NPC right from the start. She led me into the town and gave me the first bag of seeds."
"Is that so?" Cheng Shuili nodded, signaling for her to continue.
"Later, I helped her solve a major problem. To thank me, we agreed that she would provide me with a bag of seeds for free every two weeks. She told me that if it wasn't convenient for me to pick them up, I could ask someone else to go on my behalf."
Hearing this, Cheng Shuili finally felt at ease.
As long as there was a way to keep getting seeds, it was fine.
Zhou Zhuxing understood what she was worried about, so she put this matter out in the open and began to discuss other planting issues:
"The environment in the manor is similar to reality. We have a few bags of seeds on hand now, which should be plantable, but it's unclear what the growth cycle will be. If it's the same as reality..."
She trailed off there.
Cheng Shuili also understood the criticality of this issue, but regardless, this land had to be utilized.
Even if it only produced one harvest a year, as long as it produced something, it was better than nothing, right?
Cheng Shuili sighed. Still feeling a bit uneasy, she asked for more details.
Zhou Zhuxing answered everything she was asked, describing the process in detail. The big problem she had helped solve was cultivating a type of seed that even the beastman NPCs couldn't grow.
That was impressive.
Cheng Shuili felt like she had found a treasure and couldn't help but exclaim: "With you here, I can rest easy."
Zhou Zhuxing nodded with great restraint. As if to put Cheng Shuili at ease, she mentioned that she had studied this in her past life, so doing this now could be considered finding a good job.
Yu Bing, who was listening to the two of them talk, couldn't help but interject: "Boss! She is super amazing! She had the best grades in our grade. Several professors liked her so much that they fought over who got to teach her."
Oh...
Looking at it that way, it was just like Qi Wanyi; her individual ability had been recognized by the system, granting her a special vehicle, meaning her starting point was different from everyone else's from the very beginning.
Cheng Shuili nodded and asked: "What about the vehicle?"
As soon as the question was asked, Zhou Zhuxing immediately lowered her head, and Yu Bing felt a bit embarrassed to say it, eventually explaining: "This idiot thought she could buy rainproof tarps to keep me alive by selling her own supplies. She piled all the tarps on me, and her own vehicle's durability was drained to zero."
So it was because of the acid rain.
Cheng Shuili had an idea of the situation and didn't ask further.
The servants brought back from the old dog's place were like Su Rui; as long as they had water, they could live well. The top priority was definitely to put the well back into use so these servants could be self-sufficient.
Otherwise, if they all drank pure water, no matter how many supplies Cheng Shuili had, they would be drunk dry.
There was no need for Cheng Shuili to notify anyone about this. The guide knew how to make arrangements; he was someone from the black market, so he knew exactly what these servants needed. Therefore, he immediately sent people to repair the well.
The manor didn't have the tools needed. It was only after he pondered for a moment and realized he couldn't solve it himself that he came to find Cheng Shuili.
After Cheng Shuili heard what he needed, she went out for a trip. Whatever she had, she sent in directly, and for what she didn't have, she notified Xinxue to purchase.
Cheng Shuili didn't have a single piece of essential farming equipment like hoes or shovels on her vehicle. Taking advantage of this procurement opportunity, she simply had the guide list a specific inventory, which she then handed to Xinxue to purchase all at once.
Xinxue was still confused when she received the list. If Cheng Shuili hadn't told her it was a list, she really wouldn't have been able to tell.
Who lists an inventory by drawing pictures?
The more Xinxue looked at the paper, the stranger she felt. In any case, Cheng Shuili definitely couldn't have done something like that. She probably found some eccentric genius somewhere, right?
Xinxue shook her head and went off to make the purchases according to the list.
It wasn't early, and the time Qi Wanyi called for dinner was clearly a bit late today.
Cheng Shuili didn't mind; she just casually asked about it in passing.
【Wanyi】: I don't know which little bastard spread the news that I have food here. They painted such an exaggerated picture that people have been using designated player duel cards on me all morning.
What?
Cheng Shuili was shocked and asked in a panic: "You aren't hurt, are you?"
She opened the regional channel and saw that these people were still talking about Qi Wanyi.
"That person is a food truck! It's all prepared food! Not the kind of fast food we usually eat. My demands aren't high; I'll take whatever I can grab!"
"No... does no one really realize the danger? Her ID was leaked this morning, right? How many designated player duel cards could have been used all morning? This person is completely fine, yet you all keep coming one after another. You really aren't afraid of death, are you?"
"Uh... I always feel like this ID is a bit familiar, but I don't know where I've seen it... Eh, anyway, it's best not to provoke her. This one isn't someone to mess with either."
"But that's food... that's a food truck! Even if we put the vehicle aside, the food in her car is enough for one person to eat for a long time, right? Who could resist that temptation?"
Cheng Shuili frowned. She searched for a while but couldn't find out who had leaked the fact that Qi Wanyi was a food truck.
She thought for a moment and directly told Xinxue to have the water army stir up the narrative.
"Do you guys really have bad memories? Back then... the dungeon after the first novice dungeon, the one called the hunt. The only ones who came out of that hell-level dungeon were this Wanyi and Crow. If you say Wanyi has nothing to do with Crow, then I absolutely don't believe it."
