Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

After making a complaint, Chen Xi turned around and looked around to confirm his suspicions.

The more he looked at the self-built house in front of him, the more it resembled the residence described by the poster on the online forum.

Just then, not far away, there was a dark-skinned old lady who had just finished her farm work and was on her way back.

Chen Xi jogged over there:

"Sister, was this self-built house haunted before?"

As a local, you must have heard about this.

The older woman shook her head and walked past Chen Xi without saying a word.

"no?"

"It seems I was overthinking it."

"That's true. How could a temporary residence given to me by a kind person be haunted?"

Chen Xi did not press for answers; this response left him somewhat disappointed.

To be honest, he really wanted to live in that haunted house.

This self-built house has four floors, and all of them have iron and wooden doors, unlike Chen Xi's own house which has smart locks.

With a click, Chen Xi pushed open the door. There were no rooms on the first floor, so he chose the closest one, which was on the second floor, to save himself a lot of time climbing stairs later.

Opening the second-floor bedroom, the furnishings were extremely simple, so simple that they could be described as a return to basics: there was only a bed, a clothes rack, and a drawer.

Fortunately, Chen Xi is a man, and it's summer now, so even if the accommodations are simple or harsh, he can adapt.

They came here to farm, not to enjoy a life of luxury.

However, simplicity has its advantages, namely, it's easy to clean. In no time at all, the room, the toilet outside, and the stove downstairs were all cleaned.

As for other rooms and storage rooms, Chen Xi didn't bother with them; they were completely unnecessary, and he wouldn't even glance at them.

After tidying up, Chen Xi went out.

It's 17:12 PM now. Since it's summer, there's still some time before sunset, so Chen Xi plans to go to the convenience store to buy some rice, noodles, and other food and seasonings.

He wasn't particular about food; being full was his top priority.

Once you become a superhuman, gaining experience points is the most important thing; whether or not it's nutritious is no longer a concern.

On the way, Chen Xi recalled the events of the day as she walked.

In the morning, he killed his neighbor, Old Wang, who was a fake, and then took the high-speed train to Fucheng.

On the way, I met Yang Wei, a lawyer with amazing abilities.

They also discovered the unknown, innately gifted pseudo-human, the One Truth, and a girl named Chu Qingge with a number written on her forehead, who was suspected to be the forbidden object numbered 9.

Following the group's rules, Chen Xi privately sent the name "The Only Truth," a natural talent, to the group owner, who was also a Stage III superhuman.

Watchmen!

The name "The Only Truth" has not yet appeared on the list of pseudo-human innate talents published in the group, indicating that the specific ranking of "The Only Truth" has not yet been finalized.

As for whether 9 is indeed the code for a prohibited item, we'll have many opportunities to verify that once Yang Wei arrives.

Neither of these problems is difficult to solve.

Just one word...

Wait!

Around noon, Chen Xi found a kind person and successfully obtained a way to accumulate identity experience points.

Farming!

After lunch and a short online chat with Yang Wei, we arrived in Jiangcun and confirmed the warehouse and accommodation. The whole trip was very fulfilling and not wasted.

Soon, Chen Xi arrived at the only convenience store in the entire village.

Jiangcun Convenience Store.

This convenience store is not a standalone store in the conventional sense, but rather a converted ground floor of a self-built house, with accommodations located upstairs.

Standing in the shop on the first floor, you can still smell the cooking aromas coming from the family.

Chen Xi was the only guest at that time.

The owner was an old man, wearing reading glasses, sitting on a wooden stool reading a newspaper while fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.

Every household here is a local, and they are basically self-sufficient. Few people come to buy things.

Chen Xi had no idea what she wanted to buy, so she just picked whatever was available in the store.

Fortunately, though small, it has all the essentials, just not as many varieties.

This place also serves as a courier station, where all online purchases are delivered to the same location.

It has to be said that Daxia has developed very well in recent years, and the village now has internet access.

You can buy what you want no matter where you are.

This wasn't Chen Xi's first time visiting the countryside; he had been before, but only to attend banquets and didn't gain a deeper understanding of the area.

After purchasing some supplies, Chen Xi scanned the code to pay. Before leaving, she saw the older woman she had met earlier.

He nodded, gave a polite smile, and left.

"Old woman, do you know that child?"

"Whose child is he?"

"I don't remember it."

After thinking for a moment, the old man asked.

"I don't know him either."

"I ran into him on my way back after finishing my farm work."

"I wonder what they're doing in our village."

He asked me if Old Li's house had ever been haunted.

"I originally wanted to say yes, but I've never left Jiangcun in my entire life and I can't speak Mandarin."

"He shook his head, indicating that he couldn't speak Mandarin."

"I see."

The old man nodded, looking understanding.

"Speaking of haunted houses, Old Li's house almost couldn't be sold because of this incident."

"Later, it was bought by a boss surnamed Gu. He was quite bold and even lived inside for a while. After he came out, he said that there was no such thing as ghosts or monsters."

"By the way, if you shook your head, he wouldn't interpret that as meaning there are no ghosts, would he?"

"It's better to believe something exists than not!"

"Don't let this action harm them in the end."

"I think that child has a good appearance and seems honest and simple."

The old man had been a farmer his whole life, and he was full of conscience and simplicity.

"Really?"

"He looks like a college student; surely he can't be completely incomprehensible?"

"Too."

"College students are educated, so they must be smart!"

The old man thought for a moment and replied.

The village was small, and Chen Xi's strength was now far greater than before, so he easily took the supplies back.

At this point, all preparations have been completed.

Before it got dark, Chen Xi went to the warehouse again.

Grab the tools inside, change your clothes, and go straight to the ground.

The two plots of land that Gu Yi mentioned are connected, and the contract states that each plot is 0.9 mu (approximately 0.067 hectares).

One mu (approximately 1 acres) is about 666.66 square meters, but it is usually rounded up to 667 square meters.

Because no one is planting, there are many weeds in the field.

Chen Xi was full of energy. He went down and weeded the fields in baskets, then started turning over the soil to prepare for tomorrow's seeds.

Although the movements were clumsy, I had read the relevant information and practiced them in my mind many times, so overall I did them reasonably well.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Chen Xi swung his hoe again and again.

The sight of the elderly men who had just finished their farm work left many passing by stunned.

They watched Chen Xi, who was busy as a bee, in small groups, their expressions like those of crickets:

"Old Liu, I remember your kid went to an agricultural university, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Look at that kid in the field. Is the agricultural university just teaching them how to farm?"

"You spent so much money to learn this stuff?"

"Did that kid in the fields finish four years of college and come here for an internship?"
