Chapter 117 Another Upgrade
I was woken up by the space in the early morning. I suddenly felt very hungry. I saw that the number on the space had reached 205! Let's take a look at what shelves have been added to the space supermarket.
This time the expanded space is even bigger, and it’s filled with instant noodles! It’s amazing. The shelves are about ten meters long and have all kinds of instant noodles of all brands, flavors, and quantities. There are even enough goods to fill the shelves for more than ten layers!
The soup of Baixiang is delicious, with the signature pork bone noodle soup and old hen noodle soup. Uni-President, Master Kong, Korean Badao beef kimchi bowl noodles, Nissin UFO fried noodles with fish-flavored pork, and even Huafeng's three-fresh noodles. The bottom row is a variety of mixed noodles, including crayfish noodles, Italian noodles, and noodles with stew...
There are small bags, large bags, five bags or ten bags of various flavors. The bag of ten bags even comes with a gift, which is an extra-large bowl!
This half of the shelf also has everything in barrels: thick miso noodles, dandan noodles, Tongyi Japanese pork bone ramen, seafood ramen tomato beef noodles, borscht noodles...
Next to the barrels, there are some various brands of instant noodles, packed in bags. I guess these instant noodles are the favorite of children.
I took out all the instant noodles and almost filled up my small 80-square-meter attic. I thought about asking my grandfather to go upstairs and take these things away, because they would be displayed on the shelves of my space again in the morning, and it would be a waste if I didn't take them out.
Standing in the middle of the room and looking at the food on the floor, I feel hungry as I am trying to get down to 205 catties. I want to eat, but if I eat, I will weigh more than 205 catties. Then will the new food in the supermarket disappear?
In the end, the desire to eat took over. I thought it was a good opportunity to eat something to verify it. If my weight increased after eating, would the food disappear?
Give me a reason, then eat it!
Thinking about going to the lounge to eat? I looked at the clock and it was 2:30 in the morning. Because I found out in the past few days that I can only go into the lounge for half an hour every twelve hours, the time in this space is still very precious. Today, I have to go out with Lin Lin to find the crystal stone. I don’t know what dangers we will encounter in this uneasy world. The half an hour in the space is enough to save our lives, so I can’t go in for the time being.
Since there are so many instant noodles on the ground, just pick up a bag of pork ribs flavored noodle soup, boil some water, take out a can of luncheon meat from the space, and make a bowl of noodles to eat.
I started eating like this, and when I was full, I looked at the scale in my space: 205.46! I thought to myself, what a damn weight! I have to go hungry for several meals to lose a pound, and I can only gain a pound by eating a bowl of instant noodles.
But one fact has been verified, that is, as long as a node is reached, a piece of goods will be generated in the space supermarket. However, if the weight rebounds a little, this thing will still exist, so I feel relieved.
The next morning, I pulled my grandpa upstairs and put all the instant noodles I took out in the middle of the night into his space. I told him that these things should be more expensive than other things now, because they are food!
Grandpa also lamented that Xiaofei, we are not as capable as you!
I was secretly proud of myself and asked grandpa to give the instant noodles to my younger sisters. Those kids all love to eat this stuff. So when I counted, the ones around me, Bian Hui, who is eighteen, Zhenzhu, who is sixteen, Yuxuan, who is seventeen, and Bian Yue, who is fourteen, are really all little sisters.
Early in the morning, the two sisters Bian Hui came again. Their family was going to seal the balcony and renovate the door today. They came to have breakfast. When Bian Hui heard that we were going out, she wanted to go with us. She wanted to buy some rapeseed and make some soil for the balcony to grow food in the future. Half of the 80-square-meter balcony was used to grow food and the other half was used to grow vegetables, so that the two sisters could be self-sufficient.
I thought that was a good idea, so I took out a few large packages of instant noodles, more than ten bags, and gave away a large bowl of noodles. Together, there were more than thirty bags of instant noodles. I handed them to Bian Hui without picking a brand. She took the instant noodles very happily, because these foods were thousands of times better than what she had eaten in the cellar.
Just as she was about to say thank you, I interrupted her and said: This bag of rice only cost thirty yuan before, but the world is different now. You went out for a walk last night and saw the prices. There are indeed still places selling grain now, but there are only one or two places provided by the government where you can buy it. Moreover, the 50 kilograms of rice that used to cost three or four hundred yuan has soared to one thousand yuan a bag. Individually packaged foods like instant noodles cost at least thirty-one bags, and that's just one bag.
I took out thirty bags for them, and I estimated that it would cost her five hundred dollars.
Bian Hui asked me why I was so materialistic, and asked if she could grow vegetables, could she exchange them with me for snacks and the like?
It suddenly occurred to me that our family really needs Bian Hui's ability, so this little money is dispensable. I'll make a verbal deal with her. Our family can provide her with convenience food, and she has to come regularly to provide energy for grandpa's balcony greenhouse!
After the discussion, Bian Hui still refused to leave. She wanted to go out with us to the market to buy some vegetable seeds to grow vegetables on the balcony. Moreover, it might not be possible to seal the balcony in one day, so she had nothing to do at home today.
Lin Lin also pleaded that we should bring Bian Hui along so that the two of them could determine the location together, which would be helpful for both of us to find the crystal.
Before leaving, Bian Hui sent Bian Yue to her grandfather, hoping that he would treat her dementia. After checking her sister's health yesterday, she completely believed in her grandfather's ability. After Bian Yue experienced her grandfather's treatment, she treated him very kindly, as if he were her own grandfather.
If Bian Yue likes grandpa so much that she treats him as a relative, then we will not stop her from coming. First, she is indeed capable of protecting herself, and second, there is a chance that her dementia will be cured, which will be a good thing in the future. At present, if Lin Lin's ability is X-ray vision, my abilities only belong to space and reserve, Xiaobai is a fast errand runner, and Zhenzhu can tame animals, but at present, it is people rather than animals that are dangerous. Among these people, in fact, only Feicui has an offensive ability, but she is going out with the Duanmu family, so now the only one who can stay to defend herself is Bian Yue. Since she has poor intelligence, we dare not upgrade her abilities. If grandpa can cure her, we will also let her advance. So our group of people actually formed a team, a complementary team!
In this chaotic and turbulent era, the power of an individual seems insignificant. If you are alone or in a small group, you will inevitably become the target of bullying and oppression; however, if you form a stronger team, the situation will be completely different. After all, unity is strength! Many hands make light work! Only by gathering many talents and resources to form a strong force can we resist various risks and challenges from the outside world, at least to protect ourselves.
Now my little sister Zhenzhu doesn't go out to school, and there is a Yang Yuxuan who is entrusted to her downstairs. This morning, Shan Ziyu also came to the door to report. When he saw me, he called me big brother and said he wanted to play with Zhenzhu.
I remember Lin Lin told me before that the light on Shan Ziyu's head was transparent and it was the first time he saw this color, but the light was not developed and was too small to see any actual ability. I asked Shan Ziyu about his family situation. His family was well-off. His parents were businessmen. He also had a sister who was older than him. She went abroad to study before the disaster and is now missing.
I asked him if his parents were worried about him coming out, and he told me that his parents were also busy and had no time to take care of him.
Well, the kids may be studying together. Oh, it doesn’t matter even if they play games. It seems they can’t go to this school anyway. Knowledge is enough to learn until high school. So let it be.
Xiaobai also wanted to go out with us, but how could he do that without a man at home? Seventeen-year-old Shan Ziyu volunteered and said it was okay, he was a man, and successfully made us laugh.
Tell Xiaobai to look after the house and help grandpa cook for the children at noon, so that grandpa won't have to work alone.
