There is still half an acre of land in the space, all of which has been planted with rice. After it matures, about two hundred kilograms of rice can be harvested.

[High-efficiency fertilizer] Although it consumes 150 system points each time, it can shorten the maturity time of rice to less than one month. Currently, half an acre of land has been upgraded to "black soil", but if the arable area needs to be expanded, it still needs nearly points. The crystal core collected in the cave below has already been worth nearly points. She didn't expect that the special crystal cores in the bodies of those snow ape mutants could be exchanged for nearly system points each.

Unfortunately, the time was too short, so they had no way to carefully remove all the crystal cores from the snow ape mutants. In addition, Yan Fan and Liao Yunyun also shared some, and the part of the crystal core in her hand was given by Chen Yanxi, otherwise she would not be able to obtain so many high-level crystal cores.

If you want to continue earning system points, it seems you can only wait for the next system bounty mission. Otherwise, you can only wait until the weather stabilizes and go to the northern forest for hunting.

It had been almost three hours since she came out of the space, and it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Maybe because she had eaten too much at noon, she was not too hungry at this time. In addition, she had already taken a shower in the space. After putting on thermal underwear, she directly put on a set of pink and purple coral fleece pajamas with an open pattern. Because the entire first and second floors were heated by charcoal, the indoor temperature was also one or two degrees. It wouldn't be too cold to walk in the living room wearing this.

Liao Yunyun seemed to have returned at around five o'clock, and had not come out since returning to her room. She was probably catching up on sleep. Recently, she discovered that her best friend's daily routine was completely reversed. Sometimes she would sleep until noon the next day, and then after lunch she would have to sleep for another two hours at five or six in the afternoon. After waking up around eight o'clock in the evening, it would be basically impossible for her to fall asleep without checking her phone until two or three in the morning.

Sure enough, when she was sitting in the living room watching TV, Liao Yunyun came out, yawned loudly, and sat on the sofa chair beside her. She slowly drank some warm water in the thermos before she came back to her senses.

"How was your time at your friend's house today?" Liao Yunyun asked casually.

"Very well, I'll be back after dinner. By the way, on the tenth day I will take Xiaoli and Lan Cen to visit the friends I met at the guesthouse I used to stay at."

"Sure, it will be more lively with two more people, but...are you and Chen Yanxi really dating? Why don't you find time to go on a date?"

"Do we have to stick together every day to be considered a relationship?" Gu Tongwan glanced at her before picking up the cup and taking a sip of the freshly brewed rose tea.

Liao Yunyun said with a smile: "What kind of young couple is not clingy? This is the normal state when dating. You and Chen Yanxi are just too calm. Oh, no, maybe it's just you who is calm, but he may not be."

Gu Tongwan stretched out his finger and poked her forehead: "Instead of caring about my affairs with him, you should think about yourself."

"Me? I'm fine being alone. Anyway, I'll just stay single until I meet the right person. In this apocalyptic world, people's minds are hard to guess. Do you think everyone knows each other well like you and Chen Yanxi? The risk index of falling in love in the apocalyptic world is comparable to entering a dangerous area to carry out a mission. Anyway, my goal is to live every day well and not starve to death or freeze to death." Liao Yunyun noticed that there were peanuts and melon seeds on the coffee table, so her attention was diverted and she asked curiously, "Don't you dislike eating these? Did you just buy them today?"

"Well, I bought it when I passed by the farmer's market on my way back. And you like eating melon seeds, so I bought it especially for you." Gu Tong said casually.

Liao Yunyun curled her lips and said, "Women's words are deceiving." Although she said this, she did not stop cracking melon seeds.

"By the way, tomorrow is the second and third day of the Chinese New Year. My colleague's family is celebrating the New Year, so I may not eat at home. I will eat at their house. But don't worry, everyone knows it's not safe after dark, so they usually have dinner at four o'clock. I think I'll be back by half past six."

"It starts to get dark at six o'clock. How about I ask Yan Fan to pick you up?" Gu Tongwan asked.

Liao Yunyun waved her hand and said, "No, no, they are all colleagues who live nearby. Their home is in the same district as the colleague I visited today, and the other one is in a nearby neighborhood. The longest walking distance is no more than half an hour. And I think the public security is pretty good recently. After it stopped snowing, the Self-Defense Force began to arrange patrols. When I came back at noon today, I saw members on duty nearby. I went up to ask and found out that the base has arranged for them to start patrolling 24 hours a day in three shifts."

Gu Tongwan saw that the nearby street lights had been repaired and that most places had light sources, so he felt a little relieved: "Then give me your colleague's community address and unit building number, so that I can feel more at ease."

"Okay, that's no problem." Liao Yunyun knew that her bestie was doing this for safety reasons. To put it another way, if it was Gu Tongwan who was going out, she would at least want to know the approximate direction he was going so that she would feel a little more at ease.

On the morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year, Liao Yunyun slept until noon before going out. When she went out, she saw Gu Tongwan tidying up her small vegetable garden in the backyard. Looking at the tiny "vegetable garden", she couldn't help but laugh and joked: "It's just such a small area, what are you going to plant?"

"Plant some beans and rapeseed, and put some foam boxes here to plant some lettuce, green onions, and coriander." Gu Tongwan had planned it long ago. Because the yard area is limited, for the time being, he can only plant these vegetables that are easy to grow and do not have too high requirements for the environment and soil.

"Isn't it too cold in this weather?"

"I'll turn the soil over again first, and then try the rapeseed to see if it can sprout." In fact, she didn't know whether it could be planted normally, but the soil was brought from the big forest in the north, and some of it was soil from the black soil in space. Previously, she had to temporarily stop the vegetable garden plan because of the snowstorm. Now that the snowstorm has stopped and the weather is gradually stabilizing, she can take care of her own vegetable garden again.

Liao Yunyun gave her friend an encouraging look and went out. During the New Year, she specially used the curling iron from Gu Tongwan's house to style her hair. In addition, the black slim-fit down jacket and mid-calf boots she wore today made her look taller. When she went out, she was bound to attract attention from the opposite sex.

The residential area where Liao Yunyun's colleagues live is only a 20-minute walk away. In fact, it is just on the left side of the block opposite the villa area, only a little over one kilometer away. It is considered a relatively high-end residential area nearby, and those who can afford to live there are basically upper-middle class people in the inner circle.

The person who invited her was a sister from another department of the same unit, who was someone Liao Yunyun had a good relationship with.

The young sisters were very happy to see Liao Yunyun coming, and the hostess Xu Hong even pulled Liao Yunyun to sit inside.

"Perming your hair? How much does it cost? It looks pretty good, much better than the one I got yesterday." Xu Hong pointed at her hair and her tone suddenly sounded a little resentful.

Only then did Liao Yunyun look forward and almost burst out laughing. It turned out that Xu Hong's smooth straight hair was turned into the wool curls that aunties love most, and it was also covered with a thick layer of gel.

"Laugh if you want to. They started laughing as soon as they came today. It cost me nearly 200 points. I feel so bad for them. They also said that they were the director of XX hair design shop and the stylist of a certain artist. I think it's all nonsense. With this level, I can do it myself." Xu Hong became more and more angry as she spoke, but she had already applied the styling lotion and had to maintain this hairstyle for at least half a year.

Liao Yunyun suppressed a smile and said, "It's okay, it won't be obvious if you tie it up, but please share the address of the store so that I don't make the same mistake in the future."

"Yunyun, your hairstyle is really nice. Where did you get it?" Another colleague was sitting at the mahjong table and had been looking at Liao Yunyun since she entered the room.

Liao Yunyun took off her down coat and hung it behind the door. Her colleague's house, like Gu Tongwan's, used a fireplace for heating, so the room was not too cold.

"I permed it myself. It's not permanent, it's disposable." Liao Yunyun walked to the mahjong table with a smile and started to play mahjong with familiar movements.

"Wow, you have quite good skills. It looks like you used a curling iron. Where did you buy it? I looked for it in the department store last time but couldn't find it. There were only hair dryers in the small appliance section, and there were no negative ion ones, so I could only buy the most common ones. My hair is dry, and after a whole winter of hair drying, my hair is almost like straw." The colleague couldn't help but look at Liao Yunyun's hair and said casually, "Yunyun, I haven't seen you for a while. Your hair seems to be better than before. Did you do some maintenance?"

Liao Yunyun thought that although she had tried her best to take care of her hair in daily life, her hair had always been dry because she used cheaper brands of shampoo and conditioner sold at the supply and marketing cooperative. But after moving into Gu Tongwan's house and washing her hair two or three times, it seemed that her hair was not as dry as before.

However, there are always various surprises in her best friend's house. For example, her best friend's house has all kinds of home appliances. Sometimes even Liao Yunyun doubts what her childhood friend has at home. Her two-story house is basically no different from the life before the end of the world. Although Liao Yunyun was surprised, she did not find it too strange. She knew that the life of those powerful people in the upper circle was actually the same as before the end of the world. Their living standards did not decrease at all, and some were even more luxurious. Not only did they have Filipino maids at home, but also all kinds of rare and exotic animals. They even kept some rare mutant creatures in the yard to satisfy their curiosity.

"Oh, I've been staying at my friend's house recently, so I use her shampoo and other things." Liao Yunyun was afraid that everyone would continue to ask, so she changed the subject naturally: "Oh, oh, our company will resume work on the 16th day of the first lunar month, right? I heard you say last night that after you resumed work, Xu Hong, there will be a new employee in your office?"

Xu Hong's face darkened immediately upon hearing this, and her tone was also full of mockery: "Oh, he is just a relative, someone from above forced him in, otherwise how could a rookie who just graduated before the apocalypse and has no experience after the apocalypse be able to enter our company?"

Xu Hong rolled her eyes in disdain when she heard this. After playing a card, she sneered, "Yeah, it's another one of those with connections. We can't help it. Our supervisor likes her. And I heard that she seems to be the girlfriend of a relative of the supervisor. Anyway, there is always some connection."

After hearing what Xu Hong said, another woman wearing an elegant cheongsam said with a smile: "Which department doesn't have people with connections? Isn't this quite normal? As long as people are obedient and willing to work hard, that's all."

"That's not clear. Young people nowadays are hot-tempered and hard to command. The two new girls in our department are particularly self-willed. It was clearly asked for her to do materials about the Hunter Guild, but she summarized the recent status of the hunters for me. She also said that instead of reporting on the Hunter Guild, it would be better to introduce individual hunters, which would also increase the popularity of their guild and allow ordinary people to learn about the guild. I was so angry that I laughed. Later I found out that she was a fan of one of the hunters, so she spared no effort to find ways to promote her favorite hunter. She is really obsessed with idols."

"Hey, Sister Xu, this relative is quite pretty. I saw her when she came to report to our HR department yesterday. She seems to be a college graduate." Another woman shared the information she knew with others with a gossipy look on her face.

"Being pretty is useless, only being capable is good. I am afraid of these young girls now. Not only are they overambitious but also delicate. They don't want to go out for field work, and they say they can't write manuscripts in the office. They just look down at their phones all day..." Perhaps realizing that Liao Yunyun was beside him, he smiled and said, "Of course, not everyone is like Yunyun who is willing to endure hardships and work hard."

Liao Yunyun was planning to just laugh it off, but she didn't expect the other party to say, "The new girl's name seems to be Zhenzhen. She looks small, but pretty. She dresses very well. She wears branded clothes."

"Could her name be Zhao Zhenzhen?" Liao Yunyun said with a smile.

The woman playing cards opposite him looked surprised and asked, "How did you know? It seems that his last name is Zhao."

"Oh, because it's the same name as my high school teacher, I just blurted it out." Liao Yunyun laughed it off but started to pay attention to her. She asked her several times in a roundabout way, and as a result, she became more and more suspicious that the new girl in their unit was most likely Zhao Zhenzhen.

While waiting for dinner, Liao Yunyun couldn't help but send a message to Gu Tongwan, "Sister, isn't it a coincidence that that damn Zhao Zhenzhen actually came to work in our company? It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet!"
