6 Chapter 006 “New Home

Translator: 549690339

In any case, after tidying up, it looked clean and neat, giving it somewhat of a homey feel.

“Not bad.” Zhuang Qingning said rubbing her sore waist.

“Mmm.” Zhuang Qingsui smiled and nodded: “From now on, we can consider this our new home.”

“This hardly counts as a new home. When I build you a house with blue bricks and a tile roof, with a courtyard of two sections, that will be a real new home.” Zhuang Qingning mussed Qingsui’s fluffy little head: “Are you hungry?”

“A little.”

They had been busy all day, and Qingsui was so tired that her stomach started to growl, making her involuntarily rub her belly.

“The weather isn’t fully warm yet, and we don’t have a pot to boil water in, so we can only drink raw water. If we keep eating cold food, our stomachs won’t feel good. Let’s make a fire and roast some steamed cornbread for dinner.”

“Alright.” Qingsui hurriedly looked for a flint in the kitchen and started a fire in the stove.

Once the fire was roaring, she took a tree branch, skewered the steamed cornbread on it, and carefully roasted it by the fire. The originally doughy cornbread soon developed a crust on the outside.

She took it off the fire and took a bite. It cracked satisfyingly in her mouth, filling it with a delicious aroma.

Qingsui, who had eaten her fill today, was now enjoying the delightfully crunchy and aromatic roasted cornbread. She felt her life was incredibly happy and she couldn’t help but grin.

Seeing this, Zhuang Qingning also broke into a smile.

After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they tidied up their bedding and prepared to go to sleep early.

“You go and tidy up the bed first. I’m going to wash my feet and join you,” Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

“Ok.” Qingsui bounded off, carrying a bundle of straw for the bed.

Zhuang Qingning let out a sigh of relief when she saw Qingsui disappear into the house.

System… what was your number again? Show yourself.

[No. 0715…]

That’s too long. Can I call you Xiaowu from now on?

[I don’t think that’s a good idea, I do have a name.]

If that doesn’t work, then I’ll have to keep calling you the system… what was your number again?

[!!]

[Fine! The system doesn’t quibble with humans. Xiaowu it is. What can I do for you, host?]

Check how many points I’ve earned from my diligent hard work today and what items I can exchange for.

[Host, you have earned 8 hardwork points today. After deducting the required 1 point to keep the system running normally, you have 7 points left. You can exchange these points for the following items…]

As Xiaowu finished speaking, a touch screen display, similar to those in the modern society, appeared in Zhuang Qingning’s mind. Various items were displayed on the screen in the form of pictures.

Next to it were the exchange rules: Hardwork points can only be exchanged for items, not for money. To maintain the balance of this parallel universe, advanced items such as glass, rubber products and even some recipes which can’t be exchanged for trading in this world otherwise the item will self-destruct, deduct ten thousand hardwork points, and add twenty compulsory tasks.

It was obviously a system that had been through the crucible of social scorn, blocking any room for exploiting loopholes.
