Chapter 3 - Qin Yu Want to Start Farming

"Forget it, I shan't think about any complicated matters for now…"

Qin Yu shook her head and let out a self-deprecating laugh.

She was just being revived, yet she was already so presumptuous to think so far ahead.

She didn't even know whether the future would really happen according to her previous memory.

What she had to do right now was to try her best to take advantage of her cheat and ensure her survival.

It was only by doing so that she was able to consider more serious issues.

After regaining her calm, she focused her attention back on the Red Packet System once more.

'The notification said that I can request for red packet daily, can I do it once a day, or more frequently?'

She immediately called her system and tested it.

"Xiao Hong, request for the daily red packet."

A series of words appear in her mind.

[Today's quota has been used. Please wait until tomorrow to refill the request quota.]

Although she already expected the answer, Qin Yu was a little bit disappointed to know that she couldn't abuse her system to get more items. But, she also felt relieved that she didn't need to do anything like a mission or alike, as she only needed to wait for a new day to make another request.

"Xiao Hong, why can I only make a request in Blessed Town? Why can't I do it in another place? "

This was one of the things that she really wanted to know.

She'd always thought that the blessed city was just an ordinary rural area, but when she got the system, she realized that this wasn't necessarily the case.

She initially wanted to ask this question to the Bot System but was afraid that she would get another cold refusal.

As for why she decided to ask the question right now, it was because she had a faint hope that her system would be a little cuter and not so cold-hearted as the stinky bot system.

Unfortunately, the system didn't give her any response, even after she waited for another ten minutes.

'Hmm. It seems that I won't get any answers from the system.'

She decided to give up for now and tried the inventory function of her system.

"Xiao Hong, retrieve one sack of supreme grade soil nutrient."

After she gave her order, a big gray metal box appeared in front of her out of thin air.

Since she had expected that such a scene would occur, she wasn't that surprised that something illogical was happening right before her eyes.

She observed the metal box curiously; it seemed to be made of ordinary stainless steel and had a volume of roughly 1 cubic meter.

"Is it really enough for one mu field?"

Qin Yu frowned slightly as she saw that it was much smaller than she'd originally thought it would be.

As a bachelor who graduated from an agricultural major at a famous university in City K, she was quite familiar with the necessary steps required for planting so that it could yield the best results.

Before seeding the field, you need to apply some soil nutrients or compost so that the planting soil can regain its best state. By doing so, it could help hasten the seeds' buds and successfully grow.

However, the amount of nutrients given by the system was really small. Such a quantity of compost could barely be enough for a 25-meter square field, let alone one mu. It was akin to dropping one drop of water into the sea; that was if it was an ordinary soil nutrient.

Qin Yu believed that it was almost impossible for the system to make such a stupid mistake. It means that she might need to mix it with ordinary soil so that it would be enough for such a massive area.

What kind of compost could be that magical? She was really excited about seeing it.

She observed the box carefully and couldn't find any lock or handle to open it. It looked more like a dice than a container.

'Do I need a crowbar or a hammer to forcefully open it?'

She didn't think that the system wanted to prank her.

"Xiao Hong, how can I open the box?"

[The box was made with advanced security technology so that anyone other than the host cannot open the box unless they have the host's permission. Host just needs to touch the box and say "open"]

"Oh…"

Qin Yu nodded in understanding. 'The stuff inside is an extraordinary thing. How can the box be an ordinary box?" 'I can't use common sense to judge the item from the system.'

"Open!"

She touched the box and shouted as the system instructed, and not long after, she heard a faint "click" sound from the box and the box's top opened sideways like a slider.

Inside, Qin Yu could see a whole box of healthy dark brown soil—indicating that the manure was perfectly matured.

She scooped up a handful of soil with her hand and felt its smooth and crumbly texture. It reminded her of fine-ground coffee powder.

She brought the soil closer to her face and found that a deep earthly and refreshing fragrance sneaked into her nostrils, making her inexplicably joyful.

"Good stuff!"

She didn't doubt that even if she used a third-grade seed, she could still grow it into a first-rate plant if she used this soil nutrient to enhance the planting soil.

She suddenly remembered the legend of the peach garden in the heavenly palace that yielded immortal peaches that could grant immortality when they ate them.

'Maybe they use this kind of manure in heaven. ' She giggled sillily as the thought occurred in her mind.

She put the soil in her hand back into the box and, with the word "Close" the metal box once again shut closed.

"Xiao Hong put it back into inventory."

With the order, the metal box vanished from her sight, as it had never been there before. Qin Yu couldn't get enough of such a marvelous scene happening in front of her eyes.

There were another two items that came from the system…

"Xiao Hong, retrieve the rest of the items for me."

[Ding!]

[Compact Nuclear Fusion-Powered Electricity Generator is automatically installed in the mansion. Time to upgrade: 14 days.]

[High-Security Nuclear Resistance Building Fortification Plan is automatically installed in the mansion. Time to upgrade: 14 days.]

"It's really convenient to have a system. No wonder many protagonists in those stories want to get a golden finger like this."

Qin Yu's smile got wider as she saw the notification coming from the system. It was a pleasant surprise that she didn't need to do anything, as the system had taken care of anything that was too complicated for her in her place.

Although there might be some works that needed her to actually put some effort in the future, like farming, breeding livestock, or so on, she felt that she wouldn't be burdened by it and instead would enjoy it as a way to prove that she was truly alive.

If everything was already taken care of by the system, wouldn't that make her a salted fish in the future? What is the joy in that kind of life? At least she will treat it as a hobby in the apocalypse.

With a high spirit, she rushed to the door and couldn't wait to get to the backyard to start her farming project.

However, as she was just about to grab the door handle and push it over, a familiar voice that she couldn't and wouldn't forget in both her previous and present lifetimes entered her ears, making her hand freeze.
