Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

At this moment, a constable ran in in a hurry and reported to Master Zhang breathlessly: "Master, it's not good! According to the latest statistics, the death toll today has reached more than a thousand, and... and among them are two doctors!"

Upon hearing the news, Mr. Zhang's face instantly turned pale, his eyes widened, and his eyes were filled with astonishment and anger. He suddenly grabbed the policeman's collar and asked angrily: "What did you say? How could this happen? Why did so many people die? What is going on?"

The constable was so frightened by Lord Zhang's sudden anger that he trembled all over. He stammered and explained, "Lord, please don't get excited. As far as I know, this plague is fierce and highly contagious. Many patients have serious symptoms, even vomiting blood, difficulty breathing and other symptoms. Their conditions are very critical. Moreover, due to the lack of effective treatment, many doctors are helpless."

Lord Zhang loosened the collar of the constable, frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Call all the doctors immediately to discuss countermeasures. At the same time, strengthen the isolation and care of the patients to ensure that they receive the best medical services. In addition, we must collect more medicines and supplies as soon as possible to meet the needs of the patients."

The constable nodded to show that he understood, and quickly turned around and left, ready to carry out Mr. Zhang's order. Mr. Zhang looked at the constable's back, sighed heavily, and said to himself: "I hope we can find a solution as soon as possible to save these innocent lives." After that, he sat silently in the chair, falling into deep worry.

Mrs. Zhang stood aside, already in tears. She clutched Master Zhang's sleeve tightly, her voice choking with sobs: "Master, we can't go on like this. Yu'er is still so young, he can't be without a father! You have already paid too much for this city, but what about the court? Do they really care about the lives of people like us?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang felt mixed emotions. He was also worried about his family and his own safety. But as an official, he was well aware of the responsibilities and missions on his shoulders. He slowly loosened the collar of the constable, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

"Madam, I know you are worried about me and Yu'er. But I am the official of Bincheng. I cannot abandon this city and the people in it. The court will send people, it will definitely do so. Before that, we must stick to our posts and do our best to control the epidemic and save more people." Although Lord Zhang's voice was low, it was full of firmness and determination.

After saying that, he turned to the constable and ordered: "You must immediately organize people to strengthen the defense of the city gates and strictly prohibit anyone from entering or leaving at will. At the same time, send people to continue searching for medicinal materials and doctors, and make sure to alleviate the epidemic as soon as possible."

The constable took the order and left. Lord Zhang held Madam Zhang's hand and comforted her gently, "Madam, don't worry. I will protect myself and this city. Yu'er will be proud of me."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Mr. Zhang's determined eyes. Although she was reluctant and worried, she finally nodded. She knew that she could not be a burden to Mr. Zhang, but should be his strong backing.

......

"Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading. The system no longer uses points." After hearing the system prompt, Jiang Xue and Xiao Nong were both very confused.

"Little farmer, how can I use the system to buy things without using points?" Jiang Xue asked curiously while sitting in the carriage.

"Sister Xue, the system was suddenly upgraded to the top level. I don't know what happened. I'm still studying it!" Xiao Nong frowned and answered blankly.

“But it seems that I can buy whatever I want, but there are restrictions. Some precious things…” The small farmer said as he thought.

"Oh? The system has been upgraded to the top level? That's unexpected." Jiang Xue's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she was full of curiosity. She then asked: "Then how does the system work now? Without points, how can we buy things in the system?"

"Yes, Sister Xue, I'm also wondering about this question." The small farmer sitting next to him scratched his head, looking a little confused. As he spoke, he opened the system interface and tried to find the answer.

"However, I tried it and found that although points are no longer needed, the system seems to dynamically adjust the items and quantities that can be purchased based on our needs, abilities, and the completion of tasks. In other words, we may be more flexible in buying things now, but there are also some restrictions, especially for those particularly precious items."

Xiaonong quickly opened the system mall interface in his mind and began to browse it carefully.

The system mall has a wide variety of items, from daily necessities to rare medicinal materials. As he scrolled the screen, he silently recited Jiang Xue's needs in his mind: "Mask, mask..."

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on an option called "Advanced Protective Mask".

This mask not only uses advanced filtering materials that can effectively block viruses and bacteria in the air, but is also equipped with an intelligent breathing adjustment system that allows the wearer to breathe smoothly even after long-term use.

"Sister Xue, I found it! This 'advanced protective mask' looks very good and should be able to meet our needs." The farmer said excitedly, while showing the detailed information of the mask to Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue carefully read the description and pictures of the mask, and a look of satisfaction appeared in her eyes. This high-grade protective mask uses advanced filtering technology, which can effectively block the invasion of viruses and bacteria, and is comfortable and breathable to wear, and will not affect normal breathing.

"This mask is really good, the quality is guaranteed." Jiang Xue nodded in approval. However, when she saw the purchase limit for masks, she couldn't help but frown. "But the limit is one thousand per day, which is really far from enough."

The farmer continued, "Yes, Sister Xue, in addition to this advanced protective mask, there are some other ordinary medical-grade masks. Although they are not as powerful as advanced protective masks, they can also provide a certain degree of protection. However, the inventory of these ordinary masks is sufficient and can be purchased in large quantities."

Jiang Xue thought for a moment, then said, "Let's buy all the high-grade protective masks first. After all, we need to make sure everyone can get enough protection."

"However, the ordinary medical-grade masks you mentioned are also a good choice." Jiang Xue changed the subject, and hope rekindled in her eyes. "Although their protective effect may not be as good as high-grade protective masks, in the current situation, any measure that can reduce the risk of virus transmission is worth trying."
