Ch 95: TGCIR

What does “getting rich overnight” mean?

Receiving millions from selling a house is getting rich overnight. Opening the space and seeing countless grains of rice, it’s equivalent to seeing shiny gold coins. That’s the feeling of getting rich overnight.

Shen Cheng looked at the nearly overflowing pile of grains. In reality, she just wanted to ask cub one question: is your liver still okay?

Oh no, is your back okay?

Bending over to harvest wheat every day, can your back handle it?

You see, cub doesn’t have an auto-harvest function. After the rice matures each day, he must manually harvest it. Although the system automatically dehulls and cleans, harvesting and storing, every grain she saw here was the result of cub’s hard work.

During the days she wasn’t in the game, cub must have diligently come to plant and harvest rice at the appointed time every day, and then carefully store it.

Shen Cheng imagined the scene of cub, his little chili figure, working in the fields that could cover his body, and felt a slight pang in her heart. During her two months away, she had been thinking about him. It was this longing and the hope of meeting him someday that kept her going. But what about him during this year?

What made him through this entire year, during days of planting and harvesting, what was he thinking each time he did this?

He even lied to her, saying he hadn’t figured it out at the time. If he hadn’t held on to the idea that she would come back someday, where did he find the strength to harvest and plant every day? Isn’t this a joke?

Shen Cheng snorted. It’s too late to sell the rice now; these are all clear evidence. She had to have a clear conversation with cub first.

Li Weilan heard her coming aggressively, and this time her tone was very strong. “Hey, Li Weilan.”

“Cheng.” Li Weilan smiled helplessly. “The situation in the base now…”

“Hmm?” His eyes widened slightly.

Her fingers lightly pressed against his lips through the screen.

It was as if separated by only a screen, he could fully feel the soft touch of her fingers lingering on his lips.

A faint redness appeared on Li Weilan’s face.

Although Shen Cheng’s tone was strong and aggressive, she was actually shy. As she spoke, her voice lowered. “Tell me the truth, do you think about me every day?”

His gaze flickered.

“I think about you every day,” Shen Cheng said softly, “I was afraid that something unexpected might happen to you while I couldn’t log in. I was afraid that when I came back online, I would see you covered in scars. I couldn’t eat or sleep well during those days until the game suddenly appeared again.”

Li Weilan’s eyes grew larger and brighter, but whatever he wanted to say was blocked by the faintly intensified touch on his lips.

“No talking,” Shen Cheng murmured softly and coquettishly, “Don’t say things I don’t like to hear. I don’t care; you have to listen to me first.”

Otherwise, she might lose her courage.

“I know you must care about me. I don’t want to hear about any regrets or anything you said before. I don’t want to listen. During the two months when we couldn’t communicate, I thought it through very clearly.”

Shen Cheng’s voice lowered a bit, but her meaning was clear and firm. She felt her face heating up, but regardless, she had to convey her intentions to him. “I don’t want to leave behind a lifetime of regrets. I just want to cherish every moment we have together. You said you liked me, and I just want to tell you, I like you too. I care about you, and I don’t want to lose you. Whether we can ultimately live together is not important. There are so many people in the world who are in long-distance relationships or even online relationships without ever meeting. At least we’re better than them; we’ve met and even held hands. You’re not allowed to abandon me halfway.”

Shen Cheng finished speaking before removing her finger from his lips. “Okay, if you have any objections, you can speak now.”

Li Weilan chuckled.

His voice was that kind of very magnetic bass, and when he laughed in her ear, it felt like little feathers lightly tickling the walls of her ears.

Shen Cheng’s face turned red from his laughter.

She couldn’t help but protest, “What’s so funny?”

“Of course, it’s because you’re cute,” Li Weilan stopped laughing and looked seriously at the screen. If he had any shadows before, they were completely wiped away by her sweet words that seemed to ooze honey.

“These words should be said by me to you. I’m sorry they had to come out of your mouth first. Cheng, I originally wanted to tell you this in person, but my hope is the same as yours: to spend every remaining day of my life with you.” Of course, this wasn’t the scene he had originally imagined.

Shen Cheng’s face blushed.

She stammered, “So, so is our relationship considered confirmed?”

After some thought, she hesitantly gave herself a definition: “online girlfriend, um.”

Li Weilan remained silent for two seconds, then shook his head. “No, you’re the only girlfriend.”

He looked at her seriously. “The only girlfriend in my life.”

Shen Cheng felt her face burning. Even though she knew cub couldn’t see her, she still felt like her face in front of the screen must be hot. She couldn’t help but be glad that she and the other person were separated by a screen. Otherwise, he might suddenly realize that her face was blushing badly.

After their relationship was confirmed, Shen Cheng finally had the heart to sell the rice for gold coins.

After selling the entire year’s harvest, Shen Cheng became rich overnight, and her coins soared to over sixty thousand. Although in reality, her disposable passive income was already several thousand per month, the five-figure sum in the game could buy many, many things. Just looking at it was pleasing to the eye.

Shen Cheng knew very well that cub’s production of so much rice was not easy. Thinking about it, every dollar was carefully saved by cub for her while she was offline. Shen Cheng felt even more that this money couldn’t be spent casually.

There were only three types of high-level medicinal herb seeds in the store: ginseng, cordyceps, and snow lotus.

Buying ginseng seeds required a total of 1000 gold coins, but the medicinal herb field for planting ginseng required careful care by a wood-elemental ability user of level four or above in order to thrive. Moreover, the daily output was only enough to produce a bottle of anti-aging elixir. If it weren’t for the fact that the base intended to sell this product as a luxury item to those suckers, Shen Cheng wouldn’t spend so much money on a single seed.

Shen Cheng planted the upgraded ginseng seeds in the high-level medicinal herb field and then dragged the only wood-elemental ability user in the base, Xi Bei, to this building to take care of the ginseng planting.

Xi Bei didn’t expect her job to suddenly change from handling ordinary breadfruit and ordinary fruits and vegetables to ginseng.

Even when she started inputting her wood-elemental ability, she discovered that this seemingly ordinary, light brown seed, only the size of a fingernail, was actually a big eater of abilities. It greedily sucked up every drop of her ability that she transferred over, biting down and refusing to let go, like a pond that was never filled, crazily swallowing her abilities.

Xi Bei had never encountered such a plant before.

Most of the plants she had dealt with before, even if they were at her current ability level, would only need a couple of sips at most. Where could there be a seed like this one, which hadn’t even sprouted yet, that was about to be insatiable?

The degree of greed in absorbing abilities was almost like absorbing as much as possible.

Xi Bei was even forced to mobilize all the abilities in her body and couldn’t hold back anything, until she felt that her ability core was empty. Only then did the seemingly satisfied seed slowly release the link between her and it.

After a short while, a small sprout slowly emerged from the soil.

Xi Bei wiped the glistening sweat from her forehead, took a long breath, and almost collapsed to the ground.

She really wanted to ask what kind of gluttonous plant could absorb abilities like this.

But even if Xi Bei didn’t ask, she could guess. This must be some advanced plant. The contamination levels of the apples she secretly tested had already been revealed, reaching pre-apocalyptic levels of 0.

This secret was currently only known by her and Fu Yanzhou. Xi Bei felt very worried. She suspected that with the passage of time, the research institute would eventually uncover their small deception.

After all, long-term consumption of contaminated food could lead to ability riots, accelerated aging in ordinary people, and even, they heard, a significant weakening of the reproductive abilities of some ordinary people.

Although the extent of the weakening was a secret, the changes in the ordinary people of Noah Base over the past year had not been significant.

The research institute might overlook them for a while, but they couldn’t ignore them forever.

Xi Bei let out a long sigh. She didn’t know if the leaders of the base were ready.

By now, presenting such high-end plants, could it be that they were preparing for provocation and war?

When Shen Cheng went offline to sleep, Li Weilan led a team to take the beehive.

If it were the old Li Weilan, Shen Cheng would definitely be worried. But now, most areas on the map were low-risk for him, including the beehive, so Shen Cheng let him go with peace of mind.

Sure enough, after the system’s confirmed round trip time ended, Li Weilan successfully brought back the beehive and the queen bee. Although the huge, chubby queen bee, who couldn’t move, was extremely angry about being wiped out while she slept, her protests were completely ignored. The queen bee, with some intelligence, could only obediently stay in Noah Base to produce honey and royal jelly for them.

At this point, the main products of the fourth and fifth-tier pharmaceutical factories, anti-aging elixir and limb regeneration elixir, could enter mass production.

After confirming the efficacy of these two medicines, Shen Cheng impatiently clicked to confirm the products. Immediately, a prompt popped up in the game.

“Auction notice has been sent to the entire server. Please confirm the sales quantity and minimum starting price.”

“Auction across the server?”

Is this asking me to hold an auction?

Shen Cheng hadn’t expected the game to automatically turn buying and selling into an auction. But thinking about it, doing it this way could greatly enhance the reputation of Noah Base and her own medicine. Shen Cheng gritted her teeth and decided to sell seven bottles of each, along with some surplus armor from the base. This way, when the big bases received the list of goods for their auction, they would all be in an uproar.

In Base J, Tang Lu looked at the photos and descriptions of the auction items in his hand, threw them onto the table with a snap, rubbed his forehead irritably, and asked Bai Su, who was sitting beside him, “Limb regeneration, can you do it too?”

Bai Su was the only healing-type ability user Tang Lu knew, and her healing ability was exceptionally powerful. Not only could she heal wounds, but more importantly, as long as there was a breath, she could keep someone from dying.

This was also the main reason why Bai Su could establish herself in Base J and even have a superior position.

But no matter how powerful her ability was, it could only treat new injuries. For injuries that had already healed, even bones that had grown back, unless the injured person had the courage to directly cut off the limb and reattach it, it was absolutely impossible for it to grow back.

Bai Su looked at the description above and shook her head.

But she muttered, “Why is it Noah again?”
