Luo Ning nodded in satisfaction; she was now extremely pleased with Xiao Jie.

He was afraid that she would think that her place was not as good as the official base, even if Old Man Fu had poached her.

If Xiao Jie is taken away, there will be no one to dig potatoes and sweet potatoes for her anymore. She will have to rely on herself and grow enough for herself to eat in a year.

Luo Ning finally pulled out a scale and weighed the potatoes and sweet potatoes, which totaled about 1100 jin (500 catties). It was more than they could eat in half a year.

Then the next batch should be ripe.

Luo Ning plans to sell the surplus supplies later to earn more points and crystals.

Thinking about the crystal core gave Luo Ning a headache again.

Her kids are eating crystals way too fast. If she doesn't stop them, each of them will eat about a hundred crystals a day.

Even with so many crystal cores, I still feel like I can't afford to raise her.

She needs to open a shop as soon as possible so she can start earning money to support her family.

And then there's Xiao Jie. He's worked so hard for him, he can't let him be treated worse than the official base.

In the future, when buying potions and weapons for the official team, you'll need crystal cores. So, I need to save up a few good crystal cores for him to use when he upgrades later.

Since Xiao Jie forcibly enhanced his superpower last time, after this period of consolidation, he should be able to upgrade to the fifth rank soon.

Luo Ning's wood-type ability has reached level five, and her earth and metal-type abilities have also awakened, but they are only at level two.

Next, she awakened her spatial abilities.

Luo Ning also wanted to save up a few high-level crystal cores for herself, as she planned to upgrade all her abilities as soon as possible.

Try to maintain a balance and prevent any one type of ability from falling behind.

Thinking about it this way, Luo Ning felt that the burden on her shoulders was quite heavy.

She is no longer the kind of person who only needs to eat her fill and has no worries about the rest of the family, as she was in her previous life.

Xiao Jie found it amusing to see her expression shift between pride and seriousness; she was clearly only in her early twenties, yet she sometimes liked to act like an adult.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that her birthday was coming up, and there was only a little over a month left. He needed to think about what gift to prepare for her.

After digging up the potatoes and sweet potatoes, the digital clumps turned into a complete mud mass. Luo Ning wouldn't allow them to get close, nor would he let them go downstairs like that.

Xiao Jie could only grab them and rinse them under the tap first. The mud flowed down their bodies and onto the ground, leaving a clear mark.

124 shook himself, getting mud all over Xiao Jie and the other two. Xiao Jie's eyes were wide open.

As a result, he's not much better off than them now.

Luo Ning was glad she was standing far away, otherwise she would definitely have slapped 124.

123 squeaked and yelled, "124, you're so dirty, you've splashed all over us!"

125 roared at 124, a cute but fierce sound.

It barked twice, forgetting that it wasn't clean yet.

After giving them a bath, Xiao Jie was also quite wet and covered in mud.

He glanced at the person next to him, then quickly took off his short-sleeved shirt, grabbed the hose, and started spraying water on himself.

Luo Ning, who had been watching the spectacle from the side, kept his eyes fixed on it.

Why did he suddenly take off his clothes?!

"I'm covered in mud, and going down there will definitely dirty the floor, so I'll just rinse myself off first," Xiao Jie explained casually.

If he hadn't explained, Luo Ning would have pretended not to see it, but he did.

Luo Ning was at a loss for words.

So what if it's dirty? It's his fault anyway.

Besides, if he wants to wash, he should just wash; why did he specifically tell her what he meant?

Want her to give me some feedback?

However, he does have a good physique. The man who originally looked thin had clearly defined muscles when he took off his clothes.

He doesn't have thick muscles, but looking at his physique, you would never think he's a thin person.

The image of him being so weak when we first rescued him was so vivid in my mind.

Later, he always acted like a virtuous husband and father, always gentle and not one to cause trouble.

Luo Ning subjectively thought Xiao Jie was thin and weak, but she never expected that such a strong body was hidden under his weak exterior.

Add to that his exquisitely handsome face, and he's truly a rare find.

Luo Ning's gaze never left Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie was originally showing off his physique with great confidence, but she stared at him for a long time.

The tips of my ears started to turn red, then my body, and my heart was pounding in my chest.

"Your body has turned pink," Luo Ning suddenly said.

Xiao Jie's ears turned red. "Is...is that so?" He looked down in a panic and saw that the skin on his chest had really turned pink. He couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed his clothes, and ran downstairs.

"I'm almost done rinsing, I'm going downstairs now."

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow and snorted softly, still wanting to play seduction with her.

She admitted that she was initially tempted, but she had experienced similar scenarios many times in her past lives.

So she quickly realized what was happening and succumbed to his temptation, taking a good look at his body.

She has a good figure; if she weren't so indifferent, she might have accepted Xiao Jie.

She wasn't offended by Xiao Jie's behavior; Luo Ning had countless admirers, both before and after the apocalypse.

As long as it doesn't affect her life, she can't stop others from liking her.

She couldn't very well tell someone, in a haughty way, "You don't have to like me."

She doesn't think she's unworthy of so many people liking her; she's so outstanding.

It's their good taste and their honor that they like her.

It's not narcissism, it's Luo Ning's absolute trust in himself.

When he came downstairs again, Xiao Jie had already tidied himself up and resumed his feigned serious demeanor.

Luo Ning pretended nothing had happened, but she was satisfied with Xiao Jie's reaction.

I'm not in the mood for that right now; I don't want Xiao Jie to let some personal reasons affect our future relationship.

Tonight, Xiao Jie prepared a feast of potatoes and sweet potatoes using freshly dug potatoes and sweet potatoes.

On the table were the dishes that Luo Ning and the Digital Group had ordered, including candied sweet potatoes, sweet potato baked egg custard, sweet potato balls, and sweet potato fries.

The table was covered with food, but he made only a small amount, not only so that Luo Ning would just be full, but also so that 124 and 125 wouldn't eat too much.

They are both too fat.

There are only 123, no matter how much I eat, it will be the same.

Besides the food made from potatoes and sweet potatoes, Xiao Jie also stewed bird's nest and white fungus soup for Luo Ning. Everyone else got it, but she didn't.

The digital clusters were already used to it. They had tried to resist, but each time only the host would do so.

They've become accustomed to the male protagonist's favoritism.

Luo Ning ate the potatoes and sweet potatoes that she had grown herself and personally dug up, and felt that they tasted better than those collected from outside.

Di Azhe felt a sense of joy and accomplishment.
