Fortunately, in this message, Twenty-Four was not completely pessimistic, and he still left a glimmer of hope for Jiang Chuan. At least, according to his words, hope does exist.

The prerequisite is that I can do as he said: truly use the power of this space to the fullest.

But what is real application?

Jiang Chuan scratched his head, feeling a little overwhelmed.

This is roughly the information left by the Twenty-Four. There are also some unimportant but unanswered questions, such as why their names are all numbers, and what is the string tower in the last signature?

And of course, there's the machine in front of us.

After putting the out-of-power terminal into his space backpack, Jiang Chuan continued forward and came to the large machine deep in the space.

Densely packed wires are wrapped around various complex instruments, yet there is no sign that they are in operation.

Jiang Chuan observed for a while before finally finding a part that looked like a power supply device.

Seven glass jars were placed in a row in the middle of the machine. The metal lids on the jars were all open, as if waiting for something to be put into them...

Combined with the information just left by Twenty-Four, it seems that in order to activate this machine, we have to find what he called the "Crystal Core of Despair".

Since it has the prefix "despair", it seems that this thing is most likely related to zombies.

Even a more direct guess is that it is most likely the drop after killing that special giant monster zombie...

Not to mention whether I have the ability to kill such a behemoth now, I have been living in a small town on the outskirts of Aomori, deliberately avoiding areas with dense zombies. And the message also said that if the woman who is the "Lord of Despair" really exists, then of course the lower the better, and try not to be discovered by the other party as much as possible.

In this case, how can I obtain the so-called "Crystal Core of Despair"?

Jiang Chuan felt very troubled, but there was really no way to solve the problem now. He could only leave this mysterious machine here for the time being, and wait until the future when he really had a chance to obtain the so-called "Crystal Core of Despair" and then find out more.

As Jiang Chuan uncovered the secret hidden in the deepest part of the farm space, the system prompt appeared again.

[Main Quest (Ancient Mystery - Solved): You have discovered the true secret of the farm space. The huge instrument in the deep white space seems to have more magical functions. Please try to find the corresponding energy to activate it.]

[Currently activated energy tanks: 0/7]

[Task Reward: Each time you activate an energy tank, you will get a stage reward: EXP*100000; Activate all energy tanks to get a mission reward: Twenty-four Magic Handbook]

[Tip: This task is a prerequisite for the final main storyline. After completing it, the final main storyline will be unlocked: Ancient Mystery - End]

really.

The seven glass tanks in the middle of this huge machine are its energy supply components. The mission requires activating all seven energy tanks, and the activation method has just been learned from Twenty-Four's message.

Now the only thing missing is a method to obtain it.

"We can only take one step and see..."

Jiang Chuan now has a high-level scarecrow flag and totem, and has entered the stage where he can infinitely produce soldiers to defend his home. If no trouble comes, the best thing to do is to continue to stay alive and produce soldiers and develop.

With the combat effectiveness of the scarecrow, one scarecrow can resist the siege of at least two or three zombies. The total population of Japan is only 1.24 million. Excluding those who have been killed and have not turned into zombies, and those who are over 2 years old and under years old and have no combat effectiveness, the current total number of zombies in Japan is probably only about to million.

In other words, theoretically, if Jiang Chuan could produce 30 million straw dolls, even if zombies from all over the country attacked at the same time, Jiang Chuan would be able to resist it perfectly.

Of course, it's just theory.

It is impossible for tens of millions of zombies to come to such a remote town and launch an attack at the same time. After devouring the flesh and blood of the zombies, the scarecrows can evolve and be reused. The actual situation is much more optimistic.

But even so, the straw dolls still need to rely on the limited output of the farm space for support. A doll costs 100 gold coins. Even after a long period of farm expansion, with Jiang Chuan's current daily income, he can only produce a little over soldiers a day at most.

It seems necessary to continue to increase the output of the farm space...

During the past period of time, Jiang Chuan stopped the farmland expansion plan of the farm space, and instead used the increased daily income to invest in other aspects such as ranching and construction. That's because during the recent period of time, Jiang Chuan and the woman around him hid in the small town. There was no urgent danger, so there was naturally no need to be nervous.

However, it now seems that these days of relaxation have come to an end.

Chapter 192 Preparations for the Festival

Currently, all the farmlands in the farm space have been planted with crops by Jiang Chuan, but only the ten farmlands in the second new area are high-yield fruit gardens, while the first twenty farmlands are still planted with low-yield peas and grape vines.

A simple comparison will make it clear that a piece of fruit farm can plant 50 fruit trees, which means that a piece of fruit farm can bring a daily income of 4 gold coins if converted into production capacity. Although a pea farm can plant trees, due to the lower value of the crops, a piece of farm can only bring a daily income of more than gold coins.

The gap is nearly ten times, so if the old areas can all be replaced with fruit tree gardens, the daily production capacity of the farm space can be further increased to two to three times the current level, and the daily gold coin output will exceed one million...

A daily income of more than one million gold coins means that Jiang Chuan can get an army of 10,000 scarecrows every day!

By then, even if a large number of zombies really came to attack the town continuously, Jiang Chuan would be able to fight against them.

----------

After leaving the white space at the bottom of the pool, Jiang Chuan, wearing a diving suit, kept floating up, and finally left the pond and returned to the farm space.

Number Two brought a towel in a timely manner. Jiang Chuan changed out of his diving suit, wiped off the water droplets on his hair and body, and then explained the matters concerning the expansion of farmland to Number Two.

"To put it simply, we need to clear all the pea and grape fields around the house, plant saplings, and apply growth promoters to them, with the same density as the orchard over there."

Fortunately, now we have the intelligent bionic man No. 2. In the future, Jiang Chuan can completely let go of this kind of repetitive work in the farm space and hand it over to No. 2.

"I'll buy the saplings and growth promoters in advance. You can plant as many plants as I buy every day. If you can't handle it alone, you can ask Xiaohong and the other two to help. I'll give them an order later and let them follow your command, but you have to be careful not to affect their daily work, especially Xiaohong."

Xiaohong is in charge of the harvest of farmland, which is the most important daily work in the farm space. It determines Jiang Chuan's daily gold coin income, so it cannot be delayed. However, Xiaolan and Xiaohuang have relatively less workload every day. After fishing and pasture feeding, they are in standby mode, which allows No. 2 to make full use of them.

Hearing Jiang Chuan's instructions, No. 2 nodded decisively.

"I understand. I will consider comprehensively and optimize the daily work distribution of the three of them, so as to complete the fruit tree planting task assigned by the master while ensuring that their daily work is not affected."

"..."

Why does this sound weird?

Jiang Chuan felt like a switch hidden in his DNA had moved, and a feeling of discomfort followed, but there was nothing to say about No. 2's attitude and ability.

"give it to you."

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he was about to leave the farm space, but was suddenly grabbed by No. 2 on the wrist.

Looking back in surprise, Jiang Chuan saw an abnormal expression on No. 2's face.

"Master, since you asked me to change my appearance, I thought you were going to use my special ability..."

As Number Two spoke, a pink halo began to flicker on his temple again.

Seeing "Sister Fairy" showing such an expression and saying such meaningful words, Jiang Chuan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

But then his brain suddenly woke up and he realized that the person in front of him was not the fairy sister herself, but a bionic man with the appearance transformed according to his request.

Ever since he started using the appearance-changing function of No. 2, Jiang Chuan would have this extremely unreal illusion from time to time, as if he were dreaming.

"Ahem, I'm a bit busy lately, so I can't take care of it. Maybe next time."

"Could it be that my transformed appearance is still not similar enough?"

Number Two took a step forward and tightly grasped Jiang Chuan's hand. The mountain on his chest, which was exactly the same as Teacher Okita's, immediately pressed against Jiang Chuan's wrist...

Jiang Chuan suddenly became alert and almost lost control as he lunged forward.

terrible!

When he was a stay-at-home guy at home, Jiang Chuan had downloaded some fun character-making games online, such as Sweetheart Selection and Sweetheart Selection 2.

Although this type of game does not have the thrilling and touching plot of the early years like Tailing 2, it has greatly relaxed the degree of freedom, so free that you can customize the doll's appearance, figure, and even various details at will...

This kind of customized function allows a person's various preferences to be stacked on the same object, ultimately achieving the effect of 1+1 being greater than two. Jiang Chuan remembered that the day he installed Sweetheart Selection for the first time was during the summer vacation, which directly resulted in him being unable to go out for a whole week.

This is the scary thing about pinching people.

However, when this function came from the computer screen to reality, from the virtual world to the real world, Jiang Chuan knew that once he was addicted, there would be no turning back.

But now is not the time to dwell.

Danger is approaching step by step. The summer festival is coming in the evening. The town’s defense plan has just begun. If you indulge in the character-shaping game now, you may miss something important...

"Number Two, can the original transformed appearance be preserved?"

Hearing Jiang Chuan's question, No. 2 nodded and said, "The appearance that has been transformed can be saved. Just give it a name. The next time you transform, you only need to tell me the name of the appearance you saved before."

What a convenient function...

So Jiang Chuan nodded and slowly said to No. 2: "Save the current appearance and save the name as Okita Yifei."

"Okay master, the save was successful."

"Have all the files in my computer been imported into your database?"

"Yes."

"Then you can just transform yourself into an ordinary-looking woman."

"Master, please choose a target to transform into."

"You can pick whatever you want. Just pick an average-looking one from my study materials."

"I understand."

As No. 2 finished speaking, her appearance slowly changed again, and finally she turned into a person who looked somewhat familiar to Jiang Chuan, and indeed very ordinary in appearance.

"Let's keep it like this for now. As for the special function, I'll come and play with you when I'm free later."

Jiang Chuan looked at No. 2 again, and seeing her ordinary face, he felt much calmer and couldn't help but feel grateful for his own wit.

He was not bothered by the function of No. 2. On the contrary, he liked it so much that when No. 2 was around him, he often couldn't concentrate. He could only use this method to temporarily seal this function.

When I have some free time later, I will indulge myself in it...

After things were settled, there was nothing else to deal with in the farm space, so Jiang Chuan did not stay any longer. He pushed open the space door and left the farm space.

Looking at Jiang Chuan's leaving back, a barely perceptible loneliness flashed through No. 2's eyes.

--------------

The time comes in the afternoon.

Because the festival was about to begin in the evening, after lunch, Jiang Chuan noticed that people in the town were carrying various objects and carts towards the shrine, apparently preparing for the festival stalls.

The atmosphere in the town gradually became lively. In the past period of time, everyone's mood had been a little depressed by the end of the world, but fortunately this year's festival could be held as usual. At least on this night, everyone could briefly forget the troubles of the end of the world, happily stroll around the festival, and eat some delicious food.

As for food, this year's festival will naturally not be as rich as usual, but Jiang Chuan has also entrusted Akiyama Shinsuke to deliver enough ingredients to the shrine, including but not limited to rice, flour, vegetables, fresh milk, eggs, various freshwater fish and shrimp, and even various cold fresh fruits.

These things have been simply processed. Although they are not as delicious as the snacks such as fried noodles, takoyaki, and candied haws served at festivals in previous years, they are far better than the simple meals we eat on weekdays.

The shrine received a large amount of food ingredients, and Kudo Shizuka also started to prepare step by step under Jiang Chuan's instructions. Until now, basically everything is ready, but Jiang Chuan did not participate in the whole process. He only learned about it from Akiyama Shinsuke who ran to Ando's house from time to time to pass on messages to Jiang Chuan.

Everyone in the town was looking forward to it, and Ando's parents were no exception.

"Jiang Chuan, I heard that this year's summer festival was able to be held normally thanks to you. Is this true or not?"

After Ando's mother returned home, she took Jiang Chuan's hand and asked in surprise. It was obvious that she had just met neighbors when she was out and heard some gossip about Jiang Chuan from them.

To this day, Jiang Chuan's reputation in the town can be said to have been completely established. Now everyone in the town knows this wealthy and generous young man. Naturally, his deeds have indirectly spread to Ando's parents, whom he relied on. The old couple's reputation in the town has also risen recently.

"Jiang Chuan, have you done a lot of good things in town recently? Your uncle and I have been walking on the road recently, and people always shake our hands and thank us. Your uncle is confused..."

"Ahem, actually I didn't do anything, so you two don't have to worry about these things."

After listening to what Ando's mother said, Jiang Chuan suddenly felt a little dizzy, but he still had to appear calm on the surface.

"What a good kid..."

Ando's mother smiled and raised her hand to touch Jiang Chuan's head.

Everything has changed since the child came into our family. The days that were once dull and hopeless have suddenly become bright and hopeful.

Although this child is good in every way, he is a little unconventional in that aspect... But the world has changed now, and it doesn't seem to be unreasonable for a capable child like him to have more women around him.

Thinking of this, a strange idea suddenly popped up in Ando's mother's mind.

Should we let Dongzi settle the matter with him as well?

hiss……

Ando's mother suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

I don't know whether this idea is good or bad...

Chapter 193 A Pair of High Heels

As it got closer to evening, the town became more lively, and the same was true for Ando's house.

At Jiang Chuan's invitation, Mrs. Sugimoto also came to Ando's house in the evening, holding Kenta-kun. Jiang Chuan was naturally very welcoming. After all, the more people there were, the more lively it would be if they went to the festival together. Ando's parents were also familiar with Mrs. Sugimoto, and they soon started chatting harmoniously.

After the Ando sisters woke up from their nap, they naturally met Mrs. Sugimoto. Ando Haruyuki finally met Mrs. Sugimoto formally. Jiang Chuan also noticed that after seeing Mrs. Sugimoto, a blush suddenly appeared on Ando Haruyuki's cheeks.

A strange premonition also emerged in Jiang Chuan's mind.
