Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Just as Shi Anan was concentrating on digging bamboo shoots, the system's prompt box kept ringing.

[Congratulations to the host for digging up a bamboo shoot, triggering agricultural skills, agricultural experience +1, obtaining wild bamboo shoots +1, copper coins +100]

[Congratulations to the host for digging up a bamboo shoot, agricultural experience +1, obtained wild bamboo shoot +1, copper coins +100]

[Congratulations to the host for digging up a bamboo shoot, agricultural experience +1, obtained wild bamboo shoot +1, copper coins +100]

[Congratulations to the host for digging up a bamboo shoot, agricultural experience +1, obtained wild bamboo shoot +1, copper coins +100]

……

[Congratulations to the host for upgrading his agricultural skills, Agriculture (Level 1), the distance to Level 2 is: 0/20]

[Congratulations to the host for accumulating 1000 copper coins. The mall is now open! ]

After Shi Anan had dug ten bamboo shoots, she finally had time to check the system. Wow, her farming skills had actually been upgraded!

"Hey, waiter, why do you give copper coins for digging bamboo shoots? Then why didn't I get any copper coins when I successfully unlocked the door yesterday?" Shi Anan asked in confusion. It turned out that these copper coins were the key to opening the mall.

[Because digging bamboo shoots yields products, there are copper coins. The host did not obtain any products when unlocking the door.]

"I see. So if I want to get a monetary reward for manufacturing skills, I can only get money if I make something myself?"

[Yes, if the host successfully creates an item, he can choose whether to sell it to the system. The system will give a certain amount of monetary rewards based on the value of the item. ]

[1 gold coin = 1000 silver coins, 1 silver coin = 1000 copper coins]

That is to say, the more valuable the things you make, the more money you get.

But there is still a question: "Can this currency only be used to buy things in the mall?"

[Yes, system currency can only be spent in the mall, and the mall only recognizes system currency. ]

Well, it seems that she has collected so much gold and silver, just waiting for the day when the mall opens to see if she can spend some money. But this damn system only recognizes its own currency. Who is the good person who plans and designs the game and doesn't allow people to spend money?

"Is it really impossible to sell real things to the system and then exchange them for currency? This is unreasonable. In real life, I can earn money by playing games." Shi Anan was a little unwilling to give up. It would take her forever to save up the money just by completing tasks.

The system froze for a moment, not sure if it was communicating with the main brain, then the system's emotionless electric sound rang out:

[The host can sell handicrafts in exchange for system currency, not limited to the ones made by the host himself. 】

She said that when chatting with the system, you have to bargain, but handicrafts... "How much can I get for the mechanical bird in my bag?" Shi Anan asked.

These were also the things she brought out from the bedroom of the Prince of Weiguo. In addition to the mechanical bird, there were many other models with exquisite structures. She liked them very much and was reluctant to sell them.

[The mechanical bird can be exchanged for 20 silver coins. ]

"Wow! Waiter, you are too mean. Such a beautiful mechanical bird is made of fine wood, but you only gave me 20 silver coins." Shi Anan complained about the system's shameless behavior.

[Host, 20 silver coins are already a lot. If you just make an ordinary piece of clothing, you can only exchange it for 100 copper coins at most. ]

"I won't sell them anymore. I can't bear to do that. One less piece means one less." She still doesn't know what's in the mall and whether these handicrafts are worth selling.

Thinking of this, Shi Anan didn't plan to continue digging. She wanted to go back and study what was in the system mall, as well as the changes after the previous skill upgrade that she hadn't had time to see.

He asked Fu Xin to pack up and send the dug bamboo shoots to the kitchen, asking the cook to prepare some for her. He then returned to his room to study the system.

As soon as she opened the mall, she was stunned by the gray products. The gray color was naturally because she couldn't afford them, so they were not unlocked. The shock was naturally because of the price and variety of these products.

Shi Anan took a quick look through the system mall. The items in the mall ranged from the ape age to the high-dimensional science fiction age of the future. However, the higher the technological content of the items, the more expensive they were. For example, the aircraft carrier was sold for as much as gold coins. Even if she sold herself, she couldn't afford it.

Not to mention that there will be interstellar mechas in the future that can directly travel through space. The price makes her... No, too many 0s make her eyes hurt.

Shi Anan skipped the high-tech products and looked at the things that were already widely used in the modern world. Well, they were also priced beyond her ability to afford.

However, apart from the ridiculously high prices of those high-tech finished products, precious knowledge products such as cement making method, penicillin making method, and glass making method are actually only sold for 1000 silver coins. In the future, she can afford them if she works hard. Does the system want to encourage her to invent?

[Yes, the infrastructure game system is committed to improving the lives of people in every era. If every host can create products that surpass this era in the present world, he will receive a considerable reward. ]

The waiter's sudden voice scared Shi Anan, but the information he said also verified Shi Anan's guess, so these product manufacturing methods that should have been very important could be exchanged at such a low price.

After taking a quick look at the mall, she only had a pitiful 1000 copper coins, and could only afford some food and clothes. She had no shortage of these things for the time being. Although she wanted to eat modern snacks, she still tried hard to save money to exchange for those knowledge products in the future.

Reluctantly closing the mall, Shi Anan continued to check the skill interface.

Currently, she has only two skills unlocked, namely: Agriculture (Level 2) and Manufacturing (Level 1). Medical care and cooking are still gray and unlocked.

She didn't look closely before, but now she clicked on the skill and found that after the agriculture was upgraded, there was a small gift package icon flashing next to the button.

Shi Anan clicked on the small gift package, and the system prompt sounded:

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the agricultural upgrade reward: sweet potato seeds*100. Other special rewards will be viewed after the construction area is activated.]

It turned out to be sweet potato seeds! You know, there was no such high-yield crop as sweet potatoes in this dynasty, and there was even a special reward. Digging ten bamboo shoots in exchange for sweet potatoes, Shi Anan was very satisfied.

After receiving the reward, she looked at the skills again. As expected, experience points could be added to agricultural activities such as gathering and planting, as well as fertilizing, deworming and other activities related to agriculture.

That is to say, there is no land for her to work on now, and she can't go digging bamboo shoots every day.

The same goes for manufacturing skills. Anything related to processing, production, or similar to the previous craft skills of lock picking can add manufacturing experience. The difference is whether there is output and whether you can get system currency rewards.

After checking the skills, Shi Anan had a rough idea of ​​the direction in which these skills would be unlocked.

There is no other way. This system, except for the main quest, has to be explored by yourself. If you don’t trigger the keywords, the waiter won’t explain too much.

In addition to planning a main line direction, the rest of the side lines or skills are mainly aimed at allowing the host to choose the direction and grow freely. As for whether it will grow in the wrong direction in the end, it depends on the host himself.

An An also protested to the system about this. Let’s forget about other things, but let’s just talk about the main storyline. The prompts were so perfunctory.

Isn’t she afraid that the end of the world will suddenly come one day while she is sleeping, and she will die instantly?

The system's explanation for this is that carrying Shi An'an's soul through time and space and resurrecting her has consumed all of the system's energy. Now the system is using backup energy just like a cell phone turning on power saving mode, and the available functions are limited.

What else could Shi Anan say? If she didn't want to die, she could only complete the task honestly.

All in all, I did gain something today. Not only did I unlock agricultural skills and receive upgrade rewards, I also opened a shopping mall and saw the mysterious face of this mall.

There is more than a month left until the end of the world. It is now the end of February. Because she is not sure about the exact time and form of the end of the world, she will start to pay attention every day to see if there are any abnormal phenomena in early April.

More than a month was neither long nor short. Now the supplies had been basically collected. Her backpack did not have enough space and her movements were restricted. She had to wait and see if she could collect the remaining difficult supplies later.

As for the cooking skill, she also plans to try to trigger it within this month.

Because she had to go to Ciguang Temple with her stepmother to pray for blessings tomorrow, An An didn't do anything else tonight and went to bed early.
