In any case, after tidying up, it looked clean and neat, giving it somewhat of a homey feel.
โNot bad.โ Zhuang Qingning said rubbing her sore waist.
โMmm.โ Zhuang Qingsui smiled and nodded: โFrom now on, we can consider this our new home.โ
โThis hardly counts as a new home. When I build you a house with blue bricks and a tile roof, with a courtyard of two sections, that will be a real new home.โ Zhuang Qingning mussed Qingsuiโs fluffy little head: โAre you hungry?โ
โA little.โ
They had been busy all day, and Qingsui was so tired that her stomach started to growl, making her involuntarily rub her belly.
โThe weather isnโt fully warm yet, and we donโt have a pot to boil water in, so we can only drink raw water. If we keep eating cold food, our stomachs wonโt feel good. Letโs make a fire and roast some steamed cornbread for dinner.โ
โAlright.โ Qingsui hurriedly looked for a flint in the kitchen and started a fire in the stove.
Once the fire was roaring, she took a tree branch, skewered the steamed cornbread on it, and carefully roasted it by the fire. The originally doughy cornbread soon developed a crust on the outside.
She took it off the fire and took a bite. It cracked satisfyingly in her mouth, filling it with a delicious aroma.
Qingsui, who had eaten her fill today, was now enjoying the delightfully crunchy and aromatic roasted cornbread. She felt her life was incredibly happy and she couldnโt help but grin.
Seeing this, Zhuang Qingning also broke into a smile.
After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they tidied up their bedding and prepared to go to sleep early.
โYou go and tidy up the bed first. Iโm going to wash my feet and join you,โ Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.
โOk.โ Qingsui bounded off, carrying a bundle of straw for the bed.
Zhuang Qingning let out a sigh of relief when she saw Qingsui disappear into the house. freewebno vel.com
Systemโฆ what was your number again? Show yourself.
[No. 0715โฆ]
Thatโs too long. Can I call you Xiaowu from now on?
[I donโt think thatโs a good idea, I do have a name.]
If that doesnโt work, then Iโll have to keep calling you the systemโฆ what was your number again?
[!!]
[Fine! The system doesnโt quibble with humans. Xiaowu it is. What can I do for you, host?]
Check how many points Iโve earned from my diligent hard work today and what items I can exchange for.
[Host, you have earned 8 hardwork points today. After deducting the required 1 point to keep the system running normally, you have 7 points left. You can exchange these points for the following itemsโฆ]
As Xiaowu finished speaking, a touch screen display, similar to those in the modern society, appeared in Zhuang Qingningโs mind. Various items were displayed on the screen in the form of pictures.
Next to it were the exchange rules: Hardwork points can only be exchanged for items, not for money. To maintain the balance of this parallel universe, advanced items such as glass, rubber products and even some recipes which canโt be exchanged for trading in this world otherwise the item will self-destruct, deduct ten thousand hardwork points, and add twenty compulsory tasks.
It was obviously a system that had been through the crucible of social scorn, blocking any room for exploiting loopholes.
Zhuang Qingning pulled a face and looked away from the transparent glass cup.
After some consideration, Zhuang Qingning finally chose several items that were cost-effective.
A pound of cornmeal, a pound of white flour, two eggs, two coarse porcelain bowls, a bit of salt, and a bit of peanut oil.
They were all necessities for daily life.
As it was the first time using the system, Xiaowu gave her a newbie gift pack, which included an iron pot and a spatula for cooking.
Looking at these items, Zhuang Qingning frowned: โIsnโt the daily amount of these hardwork points a little too small?โ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ต.๐๐ธ๐
She had been kept busy all day long just to get these few items.
If she could only exchange for so few items every day, wouldnโt it take forever to accumulate wealth?
[As already mentioned before, the amount of hardwork points is determined by the importance and equivalent value of the work you do in this world, as well as its impact on the world.]
[For example, in comparison to just hoeing a field, carpentry work can yield more hardwork points.]
[So based on your situation, I suggest that you use your modern abilities and skills to focus on process-related or mental labor tasks. This would be an easier and faster way to earn hardwork points and exchange them for relevant items.]
When it comes to mental labor, as an academic underachiever in her previous life, Zhuang Qingning didnโt think the modern knowledge she had would be of much use. But the processing jobsโฆ
The wheels in Zhuang Qingningโs mind started to turn.
โSister, the bed is ready,โ Qingsuiโs clear voice called out from inside the house.
โComing.โ Zhuang Qingning put away the system, shook off the water droplets on her feet, put on her shoes, and went into the house.
The straw that had been crushed by a stone grinder earlier was soft instead of crispy. As it had been sunned in the courtyard all day, it didnโt have the moldy smell from exposure to the elements. On the contrary, it was imbued with the warm fragrance of the sun and felt quite comfortable to lie on.
Covered with this quilted jacket, they didnโt feel cold at all.
The two sisters cuddled together, closed their eyes, and quickly drifted off into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, the farmers who had been working hard all day had also gone to bed early, turned off their oil lamps, and prepared to sleep.
At Zhuang Rumanโs house, however, the lights were still on.
The flickering candlelight cast deep shadows on Zhuang Rumanโs face, making his already dark complexion even more gloomy.
He had spent an entire day searching the village, but failed to find any trace of the two girls. Several families, especially those close to his home, claimed they hadnโt seen where the two girls had gone.
โMy lord, I think others are lying. Those two girls canโt have just disappeared into thin air. Theyโre not a couple of flies! I reckon someoneโs hiding them!โ
โIf I have my way, weโll go house to house tomorrow asking questions and searching. We better look inside the houses too, and Iโm sure we will find them!โ Mrs. Song said angrily.
Stupid woman!
Zhuang Ruman cursed in his heart several times, giving Mrs. Song a sidelong glance: โHave you ever asked yourself why the villagers are siding with those two girls?โ
โI told you to be nice when asking for their whereabouts this morning, but you proceeded to act as if you wanted to eat them alive. Who would tell you the truth then?โ
โWith the way you are acting, we may never find those two girls.โ
After another round of quarreling, Mrs. Song lowered her head and stopped talking. She kept tugging at her sleeve, turning it almost white, but she couldnโt stop herself.
After a long silence, she still couldnโt let go: โSo thatโs it? Weโre just giving up on this?โ
