Chapter 643: Chapter 643 Endless Farm Work
The upgrade of Space this time cost a whopping 4.2 million Crystal Cores, but it also let everyone breathe a sigh of relief, at least it didn’t consume all the Crystal Cores in the Space.
And the biggest change in Space this time was the area of the Spirit Fields, the already not-so-small Spirit Fields had become extremely vast now.
"I think we have gained another identity,"
Lin Xiuyuan muttered as he stood in front of the Spirit Field.
"What identity?"
Su Jin didn’t know how many acres there were, she only knew it was very, very large.
"Farmers"
Lin Xiuyuan made a crying face, that would be so much farming work...
"Then we are the most amazing farmers, no need for harvesters at all, hahaha"
Lin Cheng was still very happy to see the Space getting bigger and bigger, as if he was a landlord whose power was continuously expanding, all the land in this Space needed to be tilled by him.
After the upgrade, Space actually gained another Teleportation Array, such a precious thing. Su Jin didn’t know where to place it temporarily. Following Lu Hao’s advice, this Teleportation Array should not be used for now.
The whole family agreed; now that their home base was in S City, setting up a Teleportation Array there wouldn’t be a problem. But they really felt that nowhere was truly safe for the newly appeared Teleportation Array.
"Uncle Nie, won’t this be the final upgrade for the Space? It’s already so large,"
Su Jin said, feeling that the Space was already large enough for their use.
"Since the Jade slip didn’t give any hints, it probably hasn’t reached the end. Little girl, don’t be anxious, it’s only the second year of the Apocalypse,"
Nie Qing pointed out; in fact, they have been upgrading quite rapidly already.
"Yeah, I think we’re pretty good as we are, it’s like it was destined for us to use the food from here to help more people. During this time in your past life, not so many people survived, right?"
Lin Tianhui shared her thoughts after reflecting on their journey. Although saving others wasn’t their purpose, they indeed managed to feed many people here.
Su Jin nodded, it was indeed so; at least at this time in the past life, A City had already become a Dead City.
She was traveling from G province towards H City at that time. The situation in D City base was also dire; the existence of the base was completely for the sake of the higher-ups. As for the lower-level Survivors, their fate inside the base was no different from being outside—it was a dead end either way.
And now, under Yao Rui’s leadership, D City base had clearly joined the ranks of the large bases. Without their sold supplies, the current scene would probably not have been possible.
"As long as this place can continue to upgrade, we’ll keep going,"
Lu Hao said, patting Su Jin’s shoulder.
"Hehe, right, actually being able to continue like this makes us all quite happy. We are a big family that is both relatives and companions. What’s there to fear in the future?"
Lin Xiuyuan felt that their journey so far had been very joyful, even though there were times of fatigue and fright, it was all worth it.
"I’m happy too,"
Su Jin and her family stood in front of the Spirit Field looking into the distance, she was happy every day she could spend with her family.
However, after the family finished reflecting, they realized that it seemed like they had to start working again, and thankfully, Time in the Space was long, otherwise they could never finish so much farming work no matter how capable they were...
Yao Rui, a woman of exemplary management skills, had people categorize and screen those who came to purchase supplies, encouraging Special Ability Users to pool all their Crystal Cores together. They were to buy supplies as a unit and then distribute them within their respective teams afterward. Those who met this criterion could gain priority purchasing rights.
So in the initial days, the family welcomed customers who bought in large quantities, which was far more efficient than weighing out a few pounds for individuals. The family couldn’t help but admire Yao Rui’s meticulousness and thoughtfulness.
Meanwhile, Lu Guanhai had set up a stall on the other side to collect empty grain bags, offering a pound of grain in exchange for each bag.
"It’s about being eco-friendly and saving, eh? Bring your used bags here, and you can exchange them for a pound of grain,"
Lu Guanhai shouted.
"Uncle, do we still need to worry about being eco-friendly these days?"
Some of the younger people found it somewhat amusing to even mention environmental conservation in the Apocalypse.
"That’s right, as we go along, we observe, and we feel that the root of the Apocalypse might well be related to environmental pollution. Don’t you think this is like the Earth trying to purify itself?"
Lu Guanhai spoke earnestly.
"Purify? How so?"
Someone asked skeptically, for now, the challenge of simply staying alive was hard enough, let alone concerning oneself with the Earth’s problems.
"Look, humanity has caused various kinds of damage to the Earth, and now we are facing retribution. Which of the plants and animals hasn’t gained tremendous vitality and capability? If humanity hadn’t acquired Special Abilities, we wouldn’t even know who would dominate the Earth,"
Lu Guanhai, though not a professional in any field, had been an environmentalist before the Apocalypse and had observed much with his family on their journey. All this was his genuine reflection and realization.
"Tsk, you’re right. Now, even a small Mutated Plant can take a bunch of lives,"
"Yeah, the chickens we used to raise back home have turned into bloodthirsty battle chickens. I’ll never forget the size of them in my life,"
"Good heavens, is Mother Earth trying to cleanse us from existence?"
"Used to think man could conquer nature, but in the face of disaster, humans are nothing,"
Seeing that his words were steering everyone toward pessimism, Lu Guanhai cleared his throat and said, "It’s not that there’s no way out, right? Didn’t humanity receive Special Abilities? Maybe this is also a lifeline that Earth left for us,"
Sure enough, these words from Lu Guanhai resonated with the onlookers, and they seemed to think it made a lot of sense.
Subsequently, more and more people started to bring their grain bags for exchange, but standing next to Lu Guanhai was a man in glasses, who was looking at him with eager eyes.
"Trading grain? Where’s the bag?"
Lu Guanhai extended his hand and asked. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
To his surprise, the man grabbed Lu Guanhai’s hand with both of his, exclaiming, "Elder! A hero recognizes the wisdom in another! Your thoughts just now are precisely what I’ve been thinking!"
Chang Xuan said excitedly, feeling as if he had found a kindred spirit upon hearing the uncle’s words.
"Cough cough, if it’s the same, then it’s the same. Young man, would you mind letting go of my hand first?"
Lu Guanhai felt as if his hand was about to be crushed.
Only then did Chang Xuan realize his unintentional act might have hurt Lu Guanhai. As a Power Element Ability User, even his inadvertent strength could seem overpowering to others.
Seeing Chang Xuan sincerely apologizing, Lu Guanhai wasn’t angry at all, and he chatted with the young man while collecting the bags.
