I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

"Borrow the water pump for two more days."

-80 points.

Balance: 179 points.

Before leaving, Jiang Li glanced at the types of seeds on the blackboard.

Potatoes, green peppers, eggplants, strawberries, soybeans, tomatoes.

These are all native seeds from the Ninth Base, and she has planted them all.

"When will new seeds be available?" Jiang Li asked.

Staff member: "That depends on the research and development progress of the agricultural research institute."

"Alright." Jiang Li sighed.

As soon as the seed station emerged, red rain began to fall.

Springtime brings a lot of rain. It rained for a week just a while ago, and now it's raining again, and quite heavily.

[Ninth Base Meteorological Bureau: Red rain is expected to continue for a whole month. Farmers are advised to take good care of their crops and pay close attention to the harvest.]

The meteorological department staff are analyzing the expected impact of this red rain.

"Director Han, the simulation is complete and the statistical results have been generated. During the continuous rainfall, the concentration of foreign elements in the air can reach as high as 0.0092%."

"Affected by this, the mutation rate of ordinary seeds will generally increase to 98%, and the mutation rate of resistant seeds will also increase from 82% to 88%."

This means that one-third of the harvest from the farmland will be cut during this period.

Han Jindong contacted Xu Kaiyuan at the planting field, "Director Xu, please arrange for personnel to harvest the unharvested crops in the planting field as soon as possible to prevent further mutations during the growth process."

Xu Kaiyuan: "Received."

[Host: Jiang Li]

[Special Ability: Wood-type (Level 2)]

[Abilities: Plant Perception (Level 2), Plant Growth and Decline (Level 3)]

[Occupation: Novice Farmer]

[Land: 50 mu]

[Farm: Level 0]

Since the farm fence and farm gate were built, Jiang Li discovered that her farm had a level, although it was level 0. But level 0 is still a level! It's better than nothing.

Congratulations on successfully setting up your farm! Your agricultural product trading box has been delivered. Please check it!

The planting guide is now unlocked! Plant crops to complete the guide and earn rewards!

[Taskbar unlocked! You can now earn rewards by completing daily tasks!]

Today's task: Trade 100 catties of agricultural products (Note: Trading through the trading box or with other residents of the world counts as a completed transaction!)

[Mission Reward: 10 bags of 100% Anti-Mutation Green Bean Seeds]

Jiang Li had just returned with her stroller when system messages kept popping up, making her dizzy.

And suddenly a large, openable wooden crate fell from the sky and landed in front of Jiang Li.

With a loud "bang," Jiang Yan and Lin An were both startled.

"What is this?" Jiang Yan asked.

He knew this must have been something Jiang Li had done!

Lin An walked over and opened the lid of the large wooden box.

The wooden box made a creaking sound.

Jiang Yan and Lin An cannot see it, but Jiang Li can see the description of the [Agricultural Products Trading Box]:

Open the lid, place the tradable agricultural products inside, close the lid, and the transaction is complete.

Jiang Li glanced into the large box, took a one-pound tomato from the safe house refrigerator, and threw it inside.

Then close the lid.

Wait a few seconds before opening the lid.

The tomatoes are gone.

10 points credited to your account

"What?!"

Jiang Li opened her eyes wide and realized she had been tricked!

How come she only traded 10 points for tomatoes that cost 70 points per kilogram?

This is such a rip-off!

Jiang Li grabbed a handful of soil and put it in.

She closed the lid and opened it again; the soil was still inside, and her score remained unchanged.

Just as described, only agricultural products can be traded, but that's too much of a loss. It's much more cost-effective to trade agricultural products with local residents!

Jiang Li said to Jiang Yan, "This box is useless. Let's move it to the corner."

Jiang Yan and Lin An worked together to move the large box to the corner of the wall.

Jiang Li reminded them, "Don't throw crops in there, or they will disappear."

The two nodded.

This was the first time Lin An had ever seen such a magical thing, capable of making tomatoes disappear into thin air. She really wanted to jump in and see if she would disappear as well, but then she thought of her elderly parents and gave up the idea. If she really disappeared, she would be doomed.

Jiang Li carefully reviewed today's tasks.

[Trading 100 jin (50 catties) of farm produce.]

The reward is 100% mutated green bean seeds! And 10 bags at once! Wow! That's amazing!

Jiang Li was overjoyed; she absolutely had to get those 10 bags of green bean seeds!

Putting on her raincoat, Jiang Li grabbed her seeds and tools and went into the vegetable garden to hurry up and plant vegetables!

Today is the first time I've planted leafy greens.

Leafy green vegetables are rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, and many wealthy people are willing to buy them to eat, making them a scarce product in the market!

Moreover, the Ninth Base does not currently have its own anti-alienation leafy vegetable seeds; those available on the market are either purchased sporadically from mobile refugee camps or imported from other bases.

Before planting spinach, potatoes were planted first so that Liu Qing and her son could quickly take them to sell.

After planting the potatoes, Jiang Li estimated that she still had two-thirds of her energy left, so she messaged Liu Qing and asked her to come and dig up the potatoes.

Liu Qing and Wei Zhou rushed over despite the rain.

Wearing a transparent raincoat, her hair was wet.

Jiang Li: "It's raining, so the potatoes in the field are hard to dig. You'll have to spend more time on it."

Liu Qing nodded.

The soil was soaked by the heavy rain and became incredibly sticky. The potatoes we dug out were also covered in mud, making them difficult to clean.

But the mother and son worked very hard, digging with small hoes, not daring to waste a moment.

What usually takes a little over an hour to dig, took Liu Qing and Wei Zhou two whole hours today to process, clean, and pack all 70 jin of potatoes into snakeskin bags.

Liu Qing had over 4200 points from selling potatoes yesterday, spent 350 points to buy a pound of pork for Jiang Li, and ate dinner in the safe zone. Now she has over 3700 points.

She transferred 3500 points to Jiang Li, and then she and Wei Zhou carried the potatoes away.

The torrential rain made the thin, frail figures of the mother and son appear both fragile and resilient.

After receiving the points transferred by Liu Qing, Jiang Li glanced at the task panel.

Today's task: Trade 100 jin of agricultural products (Task progress: 70%)

It seems that the transaction is considered complete when it is transferred to a distributor, and the system's recognition method should be that the money and goods are settled.

……

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on the door of the safe house.

Li Lan went to open the door, and was taken aback when she saw who it was. "Captain Lu?"

"What's wrong? What happened?" Ye Hongjun rubbed his hands together as he came over.

Lu Mingjue took out an agreement, his expression serious. "I'm here to have you sign this."

Clearly, the higher-ups have also recognized the special circumstances of wood-type ability users, and issued an emergency document today.

Li Lan took it and saw that it was a confidentiality agreement.

"1. Under no circumstances shall anyone disclose Jiang Limu's identity as a superhuman. His abilities must be kept strictly confidential. Anyone who discloses information to the person whose identity is being kept confidential, resulting in harm to their personal safety, will be stripped of their Ninth Base resident status and permanently banned from entering the Ninth Base..."

"2. This matter must not be publicized or disseminated..."

There are five points listed in total, the general message of which is to ask everyone to be careful with their words and actions, and not to spread or disseminate information recklessly, as there will be serious consequences for violations.

This may not stop the news from spreading, but having such an agreement is better than nothing. At least most people will control their words and actions after signing the agreement, considering the possible consequences.

All four members of the Ye family signed the agreement.

Lu Mingjue led his men out of the Ye family's house, turned his head and saw the fence around Jiang Li's farm, and was also taken aback.

Although we had already received news from Lin An that Jiang Li had built a fence, seeing it still took us quite a surprise.

He stared at the farm gate for a few seconds, then led his men to the next farm.
