Chapter 82 - 82: The Pod
Chapter 82: Chapter 82: The Pod
Nian Shutong looked at the stone box in front of her, thinking it would be great to blast out doors and windows directly afterward.
Hopefully, it wouldn’t collapse.
Let it air out for a couple of days first.
On the other hand, Fu Yunhe had also called everyone for dinner.
The dinner was chicken with potatoes again; apart from Ha Ha, both Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe were a bit tired of it.
It was tasty, of course, and for Fu Yunhe it had the secret effect of repairing the physique, but there was still a slight sense of having had enough.
Today, Nian Shutong ate a little less than usual. She put down her chopsticks and told Fu Yunhe, “We won’t sell salt today, just the potato chicken. Pack a few portions, and you set the prices.”
“Okay, we will definitely make money.”
Nian Shutong nodded, stood up, and began delegating tasks to the three of them.
“Ha Ha, continue working on the rice field. If you finish, move on to clearing more land.”
“Rubble, hurry up and finish making what I need.”
“You, just focus on doing the livestream well. Earning money is enough. I still owe taxes!”
Everyone agreed to their tasks. Fu Yunhe, thinking a bit more, asked, “Do you have something to do?”
“Yes. I’m planning to go out, eating potatoes every day isn’t working,” Nian Shutong answered and then got ready to leave.
Day or night made no difference to her.
Nian Shutong boarded the egg-shaped flying device and said to Fu Yunhe who had followed, “Take care of the house, I’m leaving.”
“Whoosh—” The flying device took off and quickly disappeared into the night.
Fu Yunhe thought about what Nian Shutong had said, to take care of the house.
The word “home” felt so distant now.
Fu Yunhe collected his thoughts and went back to clean up the dishes, beginning preparations for the night’s livestream.
Ha Ha wasn’t lazy at all and kept on working.
Rubble, who really couldn’t work anymore, sat opposite Fu Yunhe, watching him livestream.
Meanwhile, the far-flown Nian Shutong flew lower, having Daodao activate Divine Sense to scan the ground below, looking for any crops that could be eaten now.
Nian Shutong realized that many things on this planet were being sold interstellarly, just under different names.
As for her current situation, she could only purchase foods she had grown herself in the system, and with the limitation of their maturation periods, she felt quite passive.
Therefore, she planned to find some naturally mature crops, absorb the toxins, and sell them in the livestream room.
First, she needed to accumulate some wealth so she could truly hire people. Without people, relying solely on herself, when would the entire planet be fully developed?
“Master, stop!”
Nian Shutong immediately hit the brakes on the flying device, waiting for Daodao to speak.
“Master, there is an ancient plant below, soybeans. I discovered this plant can make so many things!”
“Good, let’s go down!” Nian Shutong controlled the flying device to descend, turned on a spotlight, and saw some dried-up seedlings and cracked bean pods on the ground.
“Master, master, we need those yellow beans.”
“I know, I’ll start now.”
Nian Shutong got straight to work without hesitation, taking out a bag and plucking the bean pods. She did this until dawn.
In the morning, Nian Shutong purchased a few cucumbers from the system; one cost 1300 Star Coins, which was really expensive.
She set aside the money intended for tax payment, and with the rest, they could manage a few more meals.
“Huh? There’s income again.”
Nian Shutong checked her account. After deducting more than twenty thousand for taxes, she still had over ninety thousand Star Coins.
It seemed like last night’s livestream had made some money; otherwise, she’d have less than thirty thousand Star Coins left.
Thirty thousand Star Coins couldn’t buy even thirty cucumbers. There wouldn’t be much rice either.
But Fu Yunhe was quite reliable.
Keeping him around had indeed been a wise choice.
