Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

After the coming-of-age ceremony, there was a banquet in the cafeteria in the evening. Because of Shi Anan's status in the hearts of the villagers in Guangming Village, everyone was very happy to participate in her birthday party.

But there were too many people and the cafeteria couldn't accommodate them, so the banquet was a buffet. Everyone left after eating and gave their seat to the next person.

Shi Anan felt that her face was almost frozen from smiling today. Every villager who came to eat would come over to say happy birthday to her, and some enthusiastic ones would even give her local eggs, old hens or something like that as gifts.

It was a kind gesture from the other person, so she couldn't refuse it. She expressed her gratitude regardless of whether the gift was valuable or not.

They worked like this until it was completely dark, then Shi Anan made an excuse to leave early and dragged her tired body back home.

"An An!" A voice suddenly came from behind, scaring Shi An An who was standing in front of him.

Now everyone was at the cafeteria, and the road was very quiet. In addition, it was dark, with only a faint moonlight illuminating the road. Shi Anan was afraid of the dark, but because of fatigue, her brain's reaction was much slower, so she ignored the surrounding environment.

On the dark road, you suddenly hear a voice behind you calling your name. An An, who has read too many horror stories, has a momentary block in his mind. Can’t he turn back?

Seeing the figure in front of him standing stiffly, Xiao Yi looked puzzled. What happened to her?

He walked forward and patted Shi Anan's shoulder: "Anan."

"Ah——" Shi Anan was so scared that she turned around and jumped up, crossing her arms to block her eyes.

Xiao Yi's forehead twitched: "What are you doing?"

Huh? The voice sounds familiar.

Shi Anan put down her hand, and saw clearly in the moonlight that the person who called her was Xiao Yi, and then she relaxed: "Little pretty, why do you always pat people on the shoulders from behind? It was the same when we were outside before, you always scared me on purpose!"

"I called you, but you ignored me." Xiao Yi felt aggrieved. How could he have deliberately scared her?

Well, she was just imagining too much. Shi Anan felt guilty and changed the subject without leaving any trace: "What do you want from me?"

Thinking of the purpose of his visit, Xiao Yi suddenly became a little nervous, and his ears turned red again. Fortunately, it was dark and no one could see it.

He took out a hairpin from his bosom and handed it to Shi Anan. It was carved by him from the finest red sandalwood. "This is for you. Happy birthday."

Shi Anan took it with surprise: "Wow, this is so beautiful, did you carve it yourself? What kind of pattern is this?"

"Yes, I carved it myself. It's a crabapple flower." The crabapple flower is elegant, beautiful, pure, gentle and tough. He thinks it is very suitable for Shi Anan.

"It looks so beautiful, please put it on for me!" Shi Anan said happily. Although she didn't know much about flowers, it didn't stop her from liking this hairpin. It was low-key and restrained, and much more beautiful than those with jewels and precious stones.

She put the hairpin back in Xiao Yi's hand, turned her back to Xiao Yi, and waited for him to put the hairpin on her, but she never thought about how much impact her behavior had caused to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi looked at the hairpin that returned to his hand, then looked at Shi Anan's back. His throat tightened and he spoke in a deep voice, revealing his emotional fluctuations: "Do you know what I meant by giving you the hairpin?"

Shi Anan didn't notice anything wrong in his voice, and said happily, "Didn't you say it was a birthday present for me?"

Forgive An An for not really thinking about that incident, mainly because in modern times, when people give birthday gifts, hairpins and hairpins are very common things.

But they don’t know that in Tianqi, when a man gives a woman a hairpin, it has the same meaning as a man giving a woman a ring in modern times.

Xiao Yi smiled helplessly. She really still didn't get it. She had been brewing for a long time but suddenly didn't know where to start.

He walked forward and gently put on Shi Anan the hairpin he had carved himself.

Shi Anan shook his head and asked, "Does it look good?"

Xiao Yi nodded and said affirmatively: "It looks good."

The hairpin is beautiful, and the person is even more beautiful.

Seeing Shi Anan's happy expression after receiving the hairpin, Xiao Yi sighed silently. Never mind, he would not add unnecessary trouble to her. As long as she was happy, that was enough.

She didn't know why, but among all the gifts she received from so many people today, Shi Anan was the happiest when she received the one from Xiao Yi. She subconsciously thought that it was because this hairpin was so much to her liking.

The two of them walked towards home together. From time to time, Shi Anan's excited voice could be heard. Although Xiao Yi didn't talk much, he would always respond in time to show that he was listening carefully.

The moonlight shone on the two of them, lengthening their shadows. From behind, they seemed to be overlapping, revealing an intimate atmosphere that no one else could intrude upon.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, there were less than two days left for them to go out.

On the day before departure, Shi Anan received another good news. After another round of planting and harvesting, her agricultural skills were successfully upgraded to level 20.

The reward for reaching level 20 in agriculture was an ecological orchard, which contained seedlings of common fruits such as apples, pears, oranges, grapefruits, lychees, and strawberries.

However, the orchard covers a large area and has high requirements for its placement, requiring at least 50 acres of open space to accommodate it.

Now the existing land in Guangming Village is used to grow crops and cannot be occupied directly, so at least she has to wait until she clears the forest land behind it before there will be enough space for it.

It seems that the orchard will have to be left in the backpack for a while. Fortunately, the weather is not very good now, with extremely high temperatures and no rain. Her irrigation system only covers the existing farmland in Guangming Village. It may not be a good thing to leave the orchard now.

After feeling a little sorry for a while, Shi Anan put the matter behind her. Before exiting the system, she also paid attention to the current status of her skills:

Agriculture (level 20), waiting for the next stage to start

Medical (level 17), upgrade to level 18 experience 100/180

Cooking (level 20), waiting for the next stage to start

Manufacturing (level 19), upgrade to level 20 experience 10/170

In addition to agriculture and cooking, which have already reached level 20, manufacturing is also steadily improving.

There is only medical care, probably because the villagers in Guangming Village are too healthy. The last time they improved their medical experience on a large scale was when those refugees came here.

Now that so much time has passed and we haven't seen the next wave of refugees, the medical experience is increasing very slowly.

However, since every ten levels is a large level, you have to wait until all skills reach level 20 before you can start the next stage, just like the previous ten levels.

And it was estimated that there would be some kind of reward of four choices for her. It would be a lie for Shi Anan to say that she was not looking forward to it. After all, the last reward made them feel much better in the extreme cold.

After completing tasks and obtaining rewards for so long, Shi Anan has roughly figured out the rules of the system. If nothing big is about to happen, the system will reward something related to infrastructure and improving people's livelihood.

But if it involves the next natural disaster that may affect her life, the system's reward bias is very obvious, as if it is secretly reminding her in this way.
