Chapter 120: Chapter 120 The Selection Begins
Overnight cultivation, Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer.
Feeling refreshed and energetic, Nian Shutong started reclaiming land early in the morning. With her increased vigor, she felt like working hard.
She chose a different location this time. Ginger does not like water, so she walked a bit further to choose sandy soil and decided to plant ginger on an acre of land.
The requirements for planting onions are not high, almost next to the ginger field, so she began clearing an acre for them as well.
Finally, it was garlic’s turn. Preferring the cool, she randomly picked a shady spot and planned to plant five acres.
Because Nian Shutong understood that garlic could be harvested at different times to form various foods: garlic sprouts, garlic scapes, and even garlic cloves could be made into sweet garlic.
Planting more seemed cost-effective.
Plus, the seeds provided by the system were the most suitable. The ginger had already been soaked in herbicide, perfectly processed; the garlic cloves were all intact and germinable; the onion seeds were plump and full.
When Ha Ha woke up early and saw Nian Shutong working with the robots, he carried his own hoe over, unhappy.
“You’re working without calling Ha Ha.”
“Hmph!”
Ha Ha let out a coquettish snort, bent his head down to work, and his speed was astonishingly fast, as if venting all his dissatisfaction into his labor.

Nian Shutong found it amusing and a bit touching, what kind of mythical person was this?
She also didn’t bother to appease Ha Ha right now, as she had obtained new food today; the wheat had been planted, which meant she could now buy it from the system.
She was going to switch to a different staple food!
Actually, she could buy it on the Star Network, but she always felt less pained when spending money on the system, and besides, the systems’ produce tasted unique and stood out.
“Ha Ha! You keep up the good work, I’ll go make you something delicious,” Nian Shutong said, then ran towards the direction of the small wooden house.
Ha Ha, who was working hard, bent over to continue his work without lifting his head.
But the bared big white teeth showed his cheerful mood.
“Hehe… the kind-hearted person lets me work and even cooks for me, so good.”
While preparing the meal, Nian Shutong was buying wheat from the system, a hundred pounds of wheat flour, which cost her Two Hundred Thousand Star Coins.
However, considering that 200 grams of flour on the interstellar market required Five Thousand Star Coins, a hundred pounds of flour would need One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Star Coins.
By comparison, why does it seem so cheap?
“Ah! Indeed, a good mood needs comparison.”
Having spent Two Hundred Thousand, Nian Shutong’s account had about Sixty Thousand Star Coins left. If it weren’t for the money she had earned from livestreaming these past few days, she couldn’t have afforded it.
“Master, master! Why didn’t you buy wheat seeds? A pound of wheat seeds costs Three Hundred Star Coins. If we ground it into flour ourselves, we could save a lot of money!”
Carrying the flour across the bridge, Nian Shutong stood on the bridge like a statue.
Three Hundred per pound, a hundred pounds equaled Thirty Thousand Star Coins.
She had spent Two Hundred Thousand Star Coins.
She wanted to cry, but had no tears.
Maybe she should just jump into the river! Nian Shutong looked at the stream under the bridge. Although it seemed shallow, burying her head in it should suffice.
“Ding! Host, don’t give up on yourself! Our seeds are not meant for other uses. If the host wants them for personal consumption, you can only buy flour.”
“Hmph! What about Maltose?”
Nian Shutong didn’t say a word, but Daodao and Xiao Ba started arguing.
“Hello Daodao, I’m Xiao Ba! Maltose is just seeds that have sprouted and grown for a while, harvested prematurely. It’s not against the rules.”
“Loophole exploiter!” Daodao said discontentedly, then turned to comfort the saddened Nian Shutong.
“Master, don’t be sad! Daodao will give you money! Daodao’s novel made money again!”
“Also, master, there’s a response to the poetry competition you entered. You’ve made it to the finals. The judging will begin on the Star Network today.”
