Chapter 17: Raising a baby while making money
After half an hour.
Su Lan jumped up from the bed. No, how did she fall asleep? ?
The last minute, she was still immersed in the beautiful fantasy of realizing her talent, but now, she finally accepted the reality.
The lazy feeling just now was just due to being full and weak.
I looked at the time. It was already 10 o'clock in the evening. Heavy snow began to fall outside the window again and the outdoor temperature dropped to minus 18 degrees Celsius.
Su Lan shuddered. This was too terrifying. How could she play this?
She looked at the number of people online, and this time, unexpectedly, the number of people online only dropped by 30, leaving 7036.
It seems that the remaining people all actually own houses, otherwise they would have been disconnected long ago.
Then, Su Lan walked around the trading market and actually found someone who bought crocodiles.
A crocodile costs 1000 gold coins.
Su Lan clicked the trade button without hesitation and passed the two crocodiles that were frozen into popsicles over.
Whether the other party buys the crocodile to eat or make leather shoes, it has nothing to do with her. This thing is so dirty and it makes people uncomfortable just looking at it.
I'll go for another walk along the river tomorrow and see if I can find another bargain.
Just as Su Lan was about to close the leather book and go to sleep, the notification center started flashing.
[Today, 3 talents were issued. Talent holders have talent energy. In principle, the talents will be valid forever. If the talent holder dies, the game department will take back the talents and issue them again. ]
[Talents are being released continuously, please stay tuned! ]
If nothing unexpected happens, the group exploded again.
"What, only 3 talents a day? Just let it hang there, right?"
"Two more brothers, come out and tell us what talent is!"
"You are honest, little brother. @321, how do you feel?"
A group of people tagged No. 321 in the group and asked him to share his insights.
Now that everyone knows that he has the talent of a strongman, No. 321 no longer hides it.
"Moga, I'm a sister, not a little brother."
"Honestly, it's awesome! I collected 5000K rocks today."
"So we are sisters, sister, please take care of me, I will cling to you from now on!"
In addition to envying 321, people in the group were more curious about what the other two talents were and which lucky guy got them.
Su Lan watched silently, with nothing to say.
After the house is upgraded to level 3, it needs to be upgraded with gold coins. It does not mean that basic wood such as stone and wood are no longer needed.
As long as you work hard enough, collect stones and wood every day and exchange them for gold coins, you will have enough to live a worry-free life.
Su Lan took a look and found that 5K stones or wood could be exchanged for one gold coin.
Sister Moga earned 2500 gold coins today, which really means she got rich through hard work.
For someone with average physical strength like Su Lan, it is better to just look for supplies and exchange them for gold coins.
Didn’t her two popsicle crocodiles also earn her 2000 gold coins?
Her idea is right. When you can't win by physical strength, you have to find another way.
Perhaps this kind of icy and snowy weather would be a good time for her to make a fortune.
As for whether one has talent or not, it is purely a matter of luck. If you get it, it will be icing on the cake, but if you don’t have it, it will not affect your life.
Su Lan picked a big bone, filled it with water, and placed it on the mantelpiece, preparing to eat big bone noodles tomorrow.
Then he added enough charcoal to burn for the whole night and snuggled into the quilt to fall asleep.
Inside Shelter 321, a woman with a blue towel wrapped around her head was sharpening an axe, with hope in her eyes.
A little boy of three or four years old lay quietly on the bed, breathing evenly.
After she sharpened the hatchet, she tucked the quilt for the little boy, took out the cowhide book, and clicked into her personal center.
Ten thousand gold coins!
In fact, she lied. She could earn nearly 3000 gold coins in an hour.
There was a river next to the shelter, and the riverside was covered with pebbles. She kept picking up stones and exchanged them for 10,000 gold coins a day.
If Xiao La (her son) hadn't opened the door to look for her so often, she could have earned even more gold coins.
In the real world, you have to depend on your mother-in-law to get your 500 yuan living expenses every month.
On the contrary, through the game, she was able to make money while taking care of her child.
She used the gold coins to exchange for some daily necessities and food. With her talent and hard work, she was able to raise her son.
Looking at the child's sleeping face, Yingzi smiled lovingly.
I think she was just a 21-year-old girl, but she was in love and found a husband from the mountains.
She soon became pregnant, and after giving birth to Xiaola, she stayed at home to take care of the child, do housework, farm work, feed livestock, and serve her mother-in-law.
My husband goes out to work every year and sends back 500 yuan a month, which is not enough to cover their family's expenses.
Xiao La is three years old, but looks like a two-year-old child. Both mother and son are pale and thin. Her mother-in-law dislikes her for being lazy and the cows she raises are dying.
That day, the mother-in-law complained that the food she cooked was not tasty, and she looked at her in a cold face and even asked questions about Yingzi's mother. Yingzi overturned the table on the spot.
"The money your son sent back can only buy old rice, not delicious Northeastern rice or oil, so the soup is watery and tastes bad, so don't eat it!"
"How can cows grow big without eating feed? Who can you blame? It's because your son is incompetent!" This was the first time Yingzi talked back to her mother-in-law.
"You, you, you make me so mad, you fucker, I'll ask my son to come back and divorce you!" The mother-in-law was so angry that she was shaking, and she immediately called her son.
It was getting dark, and there were endless mountains all around, just like Yingzi's life, desperate and with no end in sight.
Yingzi was upset and took her son back to her room early.
Xiaola was clamoring to watch TV, so Yingzi took out some cartoons that she had downloaded from another home's internet connection and prepared them for Xiaola to watch.
Suddenly a loading page popped up, Yingzi and Xiaola touched the login page at the same time. When they woke up, they were both in the thatched hut.
Yingzi doesn't understand any big principles, she just knows that she can survive by following the rules of the game.
She worked hard to pick up stones and chop wood, and on the second day of the novice period, she upgraded the house to level 3.
Together with some treasure chests she opened, it was just enough for her and her mother to continue giving birth.
This kind of life is better than serving that never-satisfied, foul-mouthed mother-in-law.
On the first morning of the cold wave, she became a natural strongman, as strong as an ox, and could lift hundreds of pounds of stones as if it were a piece of cake.
She had been picking up stones all day and her waist was aching badly. She would chop wood tomorrow. Anyway, she had endless energy now. If nothing unexpected happened, she would be able to earn 10,000 gold coins tomorrow.
Yingzi felt happy just thinking about it, and life had hope.
She lay down beside Xiaola, with the cowhide book on her belly, and slowly fell asleep.
Just when I fell asleep, Xiao La beside me started humming and talking nonsense.
Yingzi jumped up with a start. This was a conditioned reflex formed after years of being a mother. She would wake up immediately at the slightest movement of the child.
Yingzi touched Xiaola's body, it was hot!
According to past experience, it must be above 38.5.
Yingzi was suddenly panicked. The treasure chests she opened a few days ago contained either food, tools, and seeds, but no medicine at all.
She quickly added warm water and used a towel to cool Xiao La down physically while opening the transaction records.
At this point, everyone is asleep!
Only Yingzi was running around in the house in a panic!
