Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

The atmosphere around suddenly became silent. The wolf's body was still thrown on the ground with no one picking it up. The injured and dead villagers huddled together on the right side of the camp, and low whimpering and crying could be heard from time to time.

"I will get up early tomorrow and leave the mountains as quickly as possible. You should discuss what to do."

After a long silence, Ye Chuyi finally expressed his thoughts. At first, he just wanted to find some people to walk with, but he didn't expect that there would be more and more people.

The more people there are, the bigger the problems and the greater the risks. She is a person who hates trouble. It would be better for her to go by herself if she has to worry every day.

She now has space and food. As long as she takes Yaya and the old man with her, they can live well wherever they go. Even if she cannot complete the system tasks and get rewards, what she has obtained before will be enough for her future life.

"What do we have to discuss and prepare? Aren't we all going together?"

Du Jiayi scratched his head innocently. Everyone in their Du family listened to the young lady very much, so there was really nothing to discuss.

"I'm going to go on my own," Ye Chu paused before continuing, "I've offended a lot of bandits and refugees along the way. There will definitely be all kinds of dangers if you follow me. It will definitely be safer if you go on your own."

That's what they said, but everyone can hear that it's just an excuse.

Moreover, compared to Ye Chuyi, they are just ordinary people. In such a chaotic world, they have no ability to protect themselves. If they are really allowed to leave, they are afraid that they will not be able to survive.

"We are too useless and cannot share the young lady's worries. We are the ones who are dragging her down. We from Dahuaishu Village do not ask the young lady to take us with her. We only ask the young lady to let us follow behind her from a distance. We will definitely not affect the young lady."

Wang Chengde knelt down on the ground neatly, his tone full of sincerity, without any intention of moral blackmail.

[Host, wouldn't it be nice for you to go together? Why do you have to separate? Can't they still help you?]

Baizai looked at the crowd curiously, but his little head couldn't figure out the key.

The host is really a strange and changeable person.

[Ding——, the task of helping the villagers attacked by wolves has been completed, and the system reward of silver*20 taels has been obtained.]

[Ding——, additional income was detected during the mission, which can be used to improve the system and upgrade it. It will be used now.]

[Five, four, three, two, one.]

[The upgrade has been detected to be complete. You can use 135,421 taels of silver, 354 taels of edible gold, and several pieces of gold and silver jewelry. The total system upgrade experience value is 205,830. The system upgrade is in progress. Please wait patiently.]

Ye Chuyi felt a chill all over his body, and instantly had a bad premonition, "What does this mean? What did you do behind my back?"

[Host, I don't know. This wasn't done by me. This was done by the task system. I'll check it out now!]

Baizai disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Ye Chu turned the space in his hands subconsciously, and his vision became blurred and he stood there in a daze.

She had neatly placed boxes of silver, gold, and jewelry in the middle of the space, and then it was gone.

All gone!

Only the lonely boxes were left standing there, proving that they had once existed.

"Fuck, what a rubbish system! This is pure theft. I want to unbind it. I want to file a complaint. We are sworn enemies!"

Because she was too angry, Ye Chu shouted unconsciously. When she came to her senses, she realized that everyone was looking at her.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Qinghuan asked cautiously, and subconsciously retracted his hand when he was about to touch her.

Just now the lady said that she would leave by herself tomorrow and she would definitely not be taken with her. She really didn't do a good enough job.

"I'm fine!"

Ye Chuyi's words were spoken with some gnashing of teeth.

She took a quick look and found that everything they had obtained in the house that day had disappeared. All that was left were the things they had purchased and the few pieces of silver they had received from the system these days.

Although the system did not directly object when she said she wanted to leave on her own, it could be seen from the system's reaction that it clearly disagreed with her leaving these people behind.

She just refused to believe it. She has always been a stubborn person. She would do things that others told her not to do. Not only did she want to go alone, but she also wanted to go far away. She would not even do system tasks in the future. Let's see who is afraid of who!

[Ding——, the upgrade has been completed...]

The system's mechanical sound suddenly froze for two or three seconds before continuing to report as if nothing had happened, "We have detected multiple violations of the host's mission. We are now conducting an electric shock punishment for one minute. We hope the host will take this as a warning and do more good deeds."

Unlike the fleeting numbing feeling in the past, the pain started from the brain and gradually spread to the limbs and bones. The slight tingling at the beginning gradually deepened and became an indescribable pain.

Ye Chuyi bit his lips tightly, his nails digging into his flesh. His legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and he couldn't move at all.

It was only one minute, but it felt like a long century. She felt her whole body had lost consciousness, and sweat dripped down her cheeks.

[Host, are you okay?]

The white cub, who had just revealed his figure, was instantly frightened by the miserable appearance of his host, and began to feel the space while crying.

[Host, hold on, eat some candy, eat some candy, eating some candy will help you regain your energy, eat it quickly!]

"You are not stupid. I can't move anymore."

Ye Chuyi took a lot of effort to say this sentence, and the next moment he felt something cold sliding into his throat.

It was icy and cool, different from all the candies she had eaten before, and had a light apple flavor. In just a moment, she felt a warm current rising in her stomach, and her head didn't seem to hurt so much.

"You have this good thing, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why are you willing to take it out now?"

[I clearly gave it to the host a long time ago.]

The white cub poked his hands in grievance, saying that this was his last candy and he would never be able to eat it again.

Ye Chuyi then remembered the candy the system had given her before, when she had just crossed over, but did she eat it later? How could she not remember it?

"Miss, don't scare me. I'm Uncle Chen and I'm here to show you."

Qinghuan looked at the young lady who was suddenly twitching and sweating, and was so scared that she didn't know what to do, and her tone was filled with tears.

"It's okay, no need to shout, I just need to rest for a while." Ye Chuyi said weakly.

When she saw the other people waiting there, she suddenly felt tired. If she had just let it go, she would have to take it back now. It was really embarrassing.

"Just pretend you didn't hear what I said just now. Tell some people to bury the dead villagers. Then have someone kill these wolves. They are meat after all. We have been busy all night. Let the ladies stew a pot of meat first. You can arrange the rest."

After saying that, Ye Chuyi staggered into her own little tent.

She thought ordinary electric shocks were nothing and could still accept them, but looking at the system's behavior, it was obviously giving her a warning.

She had no doubt that if she dared to walk alone tomorrow, the system would definitely shock her directly for half an hour.

Although she doesn't want to compromise with the system, her life is her own after all. Things may change over time, and it is still unclear who will be the final winner.
