Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 424 Daily Wasteland Collection (52)

On the 15th day of the hot and rainy season, Manman had already adapted to the scheduled training and began to clamor for more time.

Increase the time? Good boy, he is really not afraid of the training. He cried and felt uncomfortable before going to bed last night.

Manman was pointed out by Shen Yao for her coquettish behavior last night. She covered her face shyly, but unfortunately her hands were too fleshy and small to cover it completely.

Cheng Qi looked at his densely packed daily training list, took out a pen and paper and started marking for a long time. Starting from the 16th day of the hot rainy season, he began to increase the time for running and jumping exercises in the morning and afternoon.

Because the amount of exercise increased suddenly, the amount of food eaten and the use of medicines also increased a lot.

Shen Yao had to take out the fresh meat from the space and stew it every day to supplement her nutrition.

Although this was a little extra hard, Manman's body developed faster. By the 30th day of the hot rainy season, the baby fat on Manman's face had disappeared a little, and the soft flesh all over his body had become firmer.

It's like the change from a soft steamed bun to a firm bean curd, which is a big change.

"cluck cluck cluck"

Manman turned his head to avoid his own mother's big palm and ran around the sofa in the living room, "Itchy."

"Do your legs hurt after running? Come here and let me give you a massage," Shen Yao called Manman over and took out the medicinal wine for rubbing and poured it on the child's legs.

Every time this happens, no matter how rational Shen Yao is, she will feel distressed. The child is too young and should be leading a carefree life, but because of the harsh environment, he has to learn survival skills in advance.

"Mom, it doesn't hurt at all."

Little boy Manman came up to his mother, pouted his little lips and gave her a kiss.

Shen Yao's heart softened instantly. She raised the back of her hand that was not stained with medicinal wine and rubbed Manman's round little head, "Manman is awesome."

After the mother and daughter finished the matter lovingly, Shen Yao took out the lunch that had been prepared long ago. She watched Manman finish eating before letting her get down to the ground to move around to digest the food.

The amount of exercise that would make other children cry, but for Manman, it is like a fun toy. Not only will he not cry or make a fuss, but he will also find it interesting.

Cheng Qi came out of the studio, holding in his hand a crossbow that he had modified countless times.

The crossbow is exquisite and compact and suitable for children to use. There are also bows and arrows and some knife tools on the back, all for the purpose of educating my daughter.

She ran over with a big smile and threw herself on Cheng Qi's lap, begging her father to tie it up for her.

Cheng Qi bent down and tied the crossbow to Manman's arm with a gentle expression, reminding her to be careful when using it, as the crossbow is a sharp weapon that can hurt people.

"Dad, Manman knows. Manman will be good and won't use it recklessly."

Manman now particularly likes to talk in four words at a time. Every day he is like a little chatterbox. He not only speaks actively but also enjoys talking to himself.

Although taking care of children on a daily basis is tiring, every time a child makes a little progress, they as parents will feel a sense of pride.

Cheng Qi and Manman ran to the front of the disc and shot arrows. The disc was placed a few meters away from them. Manman easily raised his little arm, and with a whoosh, a silver light flashed, and the arrow was inserted in the center of the disc.

She looked up happily and accepted the encouragement from her parents, her eyes sparkling.

After practicing for a while, he felt very sleepy and was taken back to his room by Shen Yao to sleep.

When Shen Yao returned to the living room on the first floor from the second floor, Cheng Qi had already put the scattered items in place and was muttering to himself that he was planning to go to the studio to make the remaining bows and arrows and other items.

During the normal mild season, the two of them were always busy with their lives and neglected their children. Now that they finally have some free time during the hot and rainy season, they will definitely spend more time with their children.

"Manman is so young, what you have done is a bit too advanced, why don't you focus on what is in front of you.

By the way, the base notified through watches that the rain will decrease or stop in the near future.

Should we take advantage of the rain to go to the bamboo forest outside the base?"

Outside every base there is a lush bamboo forest of varying sizes, which is also one of the main sources of weaving materials for daily necessities for the people in the base.

The bamboo forest at Base No. 25 is even more special. Not only does it produce a large amount of bamboo every year, but it also produces a wealth of byproducts.

After Shen Yao's research and exploration over this period of time, she felt that there was a high probability that there were energy stones in the bamboo forest.

On normal days, it is difficult to find them in the bamboo forest because there are many people around. Now, if they set out before the rain stops, perhaps they can create a time difference so that others will not notice their movements.

Cheng Qi stared at Shen Yao's eyes and finally nodded, "There will be bamboo shoots and various mushrooms in the bamboo forest after the rain. Let's drive there and come back quickly."

Shen Yao smiled and said, "Yeah."

On the 33rd day of the hot rainy season, the heavy rain outside began to subside.

Shen Yao stood by the first-floor window and looked outside, thankful that the underground drainage system in the inner area was well developed, otherwise the entire base would have become a flood after dozens of days of rain.

Behind him came the sound of Manman exercising hard with Cheng Qi. The little child's humming and laughing sounded so childish that one wanted to grab the child's arms and squeeze him into a round and flat position.

On the 35th day of the hot rainy season, the rain was getting lighter and lighter, and some brave people had already opened windows and doors for ventilation.

Shen Yao still stood by the window observing the situation outside, calculating in her mind how many days it would take before she could leave the house.

On the 37th day of the hot rainy season, the rain stopped.

The moment the sky cleared, Shen Yao heard people cheering in the inner area.

The sound spread outside, triggering a chain reaction, and many people followed suit, shouting one after another.

Shen Yao's watch soon received a notification from the base that the temporary rain today would probably stop until around three in the afternoon.

The base does not recommend individuals to go out. If you go out, remember to take precautions.

Shen Yao put down her watch, turned around and asked Manman and Cheng Qi to change their clothes. They still had to put on protective clothing on the outside. After all, it had rained for so many days in a row and the air was humid. For safety reasons, they tried to avoid contact with the water vapor.

Manman put on a silver-white protective suit, revealing her big round eyes.

She seemed a little excited because after practicing at home for so long, she finally had the opportunity to go outside and practice.

As a brave person, Manman is not opposed to seeing blood in daily life. She has an innate fearlessness, which is very unusual for her age, but surprisingly fits in with this changing world.

"We'll be leaving in a minute. Be good and obedient."

Shen Yao carried Manman down the stairs. Cheng Qi took advantage of this time to pack up the car, lock the door and put an iron chain on it. The family of three drove away from the base.

With no other destination, they headed towards the bamboo forest with a clear goal in mind.

On the road, you can also see many ordinary people carrying backpacks and taking simple protective measures. Most of them are from slums. They may want to take the opportunity to pick some fresh wild vegetables to take back. Even if it is just to add a vegetable to their daily life, it is better than just going in without going out.

Not everyone has enough supplies. For those living on the edge of the base, frugality is ingrained in their bones. Even if the base does not recommend going out, it cannot stop their desire to create value.

It took about half an hour for the family of three to reach the outskirts of the bamboo forest.

At this time, there was a layer of white mist floating inside and outside the bamboo forest, which was the rain vapor that had not yet dispersed.

Shen Yao led Manman and asked the child to run slower. They were going to get to the center of the bamboo forest and would spend the time here until the rain stopped.

Manman nodded in response, but because her legs were a little short, she walked like a wobbly fat penguin, and even if she wanted to run, she couldn't run far.

The system had already learned to find work for itself without Shen Yao saying anything.

Scout the area within a few miles. If you are still worried, expand the scope appropriately and remind people in a tactful way where the energy stone is hidden.

Yes, the news of the energy stone in the bamboo forest was thanks to this gossip-loving leader.

If you go out and walk around the neighborhood every day, you can hear a lot of gossip.

In addition, Shen Yao has developed the habit of browsing forums, so she doesn't need to ask questions deliberately to locate the approximate location of the energy stone in the bamboo forest.

Seeing the bamboo shoots pushing through the soil on the road, Shen Yao resisted the urge to pick them up.

However, she did not forget to tease the system that the delivery rate in the bamboo forest after the rain was really high, which was completely contrary to normal logic.

After all, rainwater contains high mutation values. These bamboo forests that have absorbed sufficient rainwater should not grow bamboo shoots and mushrooms with medium and low mutations. However, the fact is just the opposite. The species that grow are basically edible.

'No one noticed this? 'It's all food, it's very eye-catching just by looking at it.

"Some people have discovered that these low- and medium-level mutant plants are far away from the base. There is no means of transportation, so it is not time-efficient to simply walk there."

The system explained that they didn't mind it because they had cars as a means of transportation. If it were most people in the slums and outer areas, no matter how much they envied the output of the bamboo forest, they would not come here. A round trip would take three or four hours, not to mention the harvested materials. Who could afford it?

Shen Yao:......

What the system said was reasonable. She had been living too well recently and had taken things for granted.

Without chatting with the system any further, the family of three came to the center of the bamboo forest. With a muffled "bang", Cheng Qi took out the tools in the space and silently distributed them to Shen Yao and Manman.

"First dig for bamboo roots. If there are none, dig for bamboo shoots and mushrooms that have popped up."

Shen Yao held the hoe in her hand and looked around. She saw dense yellow and green dots everywhere. The puddles were emitting red light, and only a few places had faint white light.

That's the color of the energy stone!

Shen Yao first marked out a small area for Manman to work on, and then walked towards the place where white light was coming out while digging with a hoe.

When the bamboo shoots around him piled up into a small hill and the freshly picked mushrooms filled the bamboo basket, Shen Yao finally successfully dug up the first energy stone.

The white crystal, which is smaller than a fingernail, emits a faint white light.

Shen Yao wiped it and put it in his pocket, then continued digging forward.

It took Shen Yao about three or four hours to go through the entire visible area before she had the mood to pick up the bamboo shoots and fresh mushrooms scattered on the ground.

Throw them all into the space, leaving a basket to be taken back by car.

Shen Yao returned to the original position and saw Cheng Qi accompanying the children to hunt bamboo rats.

The fully loaded crossbows were put to good use, and the arrows they carried became sharp weapons of attack, which soon killed the bamboo rats running around in the bamboo forest and made them flee in disarray.

When she saw her mother come back, Manman pointed to the bamboo rat carcasses tied up nearby, indicating that these were all hunted by her.

“Manman is really amazing”

Shen Yao put the bamboo basket aside, half squatted down and patted her full little head.

He looked up and exchanged a glance with Cheng Qi. The purpose of their coming here had been achieved, and it was time to hurry back home.

Drop drop-

The alarm on the watch rang, and in response there was a reminder notification from the base that the sky had become gloomy again, and the rain that had just stopped for most of the day was about to fall again.

Cheng Qi was driving the car while Manman was sitting in the back, looking at his body uncomfortably. Protective clothing would become non-breathable if worn for a long time, and with the current hot and humid weather, people wrapped in it were like fish out of water, and they could not feel relieved even if they opened their mouths to breathe.

Manman is still young. He didn't feel anything when he was hunting bamboo rats in high spirits before, but now he feels uncomfortable everywhere when sitting in the car seat.

The little girl even cried and asked her parents to help her take off her clothes because she didn't want to be suffocated.

Shen Yao comforted Manman and urged him to hold on, using the diversion method to let Manman see the situation outside the window.

Cheng Qi unconsciously sped up the car. The scenery on both sides of the road flashed by, accompanied by the occasional thunder in the distant sky. Manman was fascinated by it.

Shen Yao got home before the rain fell again. She didn't have time to deal with the bamboo shoots and fresh mushrooms she brought back. Instead, she took a hot bath with her daughter. Only after she felt refreshed did she lazily look through the things she had put into the space.

There were of course bamboo shoots and mushrooms, as well as a few sturdy bamboos, but what made her happiest was the energy stone wrapped in cloth.

Open the cloth wrapped around it to reveal a few beautiful white crystals.

One, two, three, four, five, six, and seven, a total of seven. She dug up four and Cheng Qi dug up three.

It is not as big as the ones in the rabbit hole, and has not yet been tested by a machine, but judging from the size and color depth, the maximum energy does not exceed 300.

Well, it’s okay.

Cheng Qi came down from upstairs after taking a shower, with water drops still falling from the ends of his hair.

Manman was so tired that he lay on the sofa and started snoring. Shen Yao found a thin blanket to cover him up to protect him from the air conditioner in the living room.

"Run it through the machine?" Cheng Qi suggested.

"Take a look and use up the ones with low energy," Shen Yao nodded and went to the studio holding the energy stone.

When they came out again, Shen Yao picked out the three smallest ones and gave them to Cheng Qi, "You take one, and keep the other two for sale at a higher price."

I haven't forgotten that after the hot rainy season, the Shen family and the Cheng family came here, bought houses in the outer districts, and looked for ways in the inner districts, and they needed to spend enough money to pave the way.

The most valuable things Shen Yao and the others have now are these energy stones and energy pearls.

The energy pearls are too valuable to be sold, but the energy stones contain lower energy and can be sold occasionally without attracting any attention.

Base No. 25 is too large, and there are lucky people who find energy stones here every day. Energy stones are not as rare as those in Dawn Base, but the relevant selling prices are comparable to those in Dawn Base.

If they had enough background, selling energy stones would be a very good business.

Imagine that you don’t have to do anything on weekdays. When your points are gone, you can sell them for an energy stone. You can buy all your daily supplies at the redemption center. There will be no risk of accidents if you don’t go out. Wow, your life will be very enjoyable.
