Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

Two bottles of spiritual spring water, two powerful pills, 500 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of peanut oil - Zeng Zhengen's eyes lit up instantly when she saw these supplies. Rice and oil, these are things that are in short supply now! This reward really won her heart.

Excited, Zeng Zhengen did not hesitate at all and decided to strike while the iron was hot. Since the reward this time was so great, maybe there would be more surprises if he drew again!

"System, I want to draw again!"

[Ding, one thousand points have been deducted, and the lottery is in progress. ]

The lottery icon on the screen spun rapidly again. Zeng Zhengen stared at it expectantly, silently praying for good luck to continue. Soon, the lottery stopped, and a gift package larger than the previous one appeared on the system screen.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for winning a super gift package. Would you like to open it now? ]

Super gift pack? Just by hearing the name, you can feel that the rewards are more generous than the previous gift packs. Zeng Zhengen smiled with curved eyebrows, his luck is simply too good!

"System, quickly open the gift package and take a look"

Zeng couldn't wait to check the contents of the gift package, her heart full of anticipation. Soon, the gift package was opened, and the items inside were clearly presented in front of her: a 20-square-meter system space, a set of seeds of various fruits and vegetables, a set of grain seeds, a set of food recipes, and a set of internal skills.

Although the seeds and food recipes were good, Zeng Zhengen's attention was completely attracted by the 20 square meters of system space and internal skills. She was excited. The previous novice gift package had given her 10 square meters of space. With the 20 square meters of this big gift package, she now had a total of 30 square meters of system space, enough to store more supplies.

As for the inner strength method, Zeng Zhengen's eyes lit up, and a thought immediately popped up in his mind: "System, if I practice this inner strength method, can I fly over eaves and walls like the people in ancient martial arts novels, and have light skills?"

If that were really possible, wouldn't she be able to defy the heavens? Thinking of this, Zeng Zhengen's face was full of anticipation.

However, the system's voice interrupted her fantasy. [Host, this internal skill is to improve your internal strength, but if you want to fly over eaves and walls, you still need to practice the Qinggong secret book.]

Hearing this, Zeng Zhengen's interest suddenly waned a lot, "If I can't fly over eaves and walk on walls, then why should I practice it?"

The system seemed to see through her thoughts and continued to explain: [Host, the inner strength is the foundation. Once you have mastered the inner strength, it will be much easier to practice the lightness skills. Moreover, with the inner strength, combined with the fighting skills you learned in your previous life, you will become stronger when facing the enemy in the future, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.]

After listening to this, Zeng Zhengen felt that it made some sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will practice this internal strength method first!"

Zeng Zhengen finally had to accept this fact. She stored all the items in the super gift package and the previous gift package contents into the system space, and the instant noodles in the container continued to be placed in the system mall. After completing these, Zeng Zhengen rested contentedly for a night.

The next morning, after a simple breakfast, the team set out on their way. After a day's rest, the soldiers had recovered a lot and were able to walk again. The team continued to move south, and Zeng Zhengen collected all the herbs he saw on the road.

After several days of trekking, they finally walked out of the forest. Zeng Zhengen checked the map and found that they were close to the border of Qingzhen City, and Bijie City was ahead. The food in the team was gradually eaten up, and some people even started to dig grass roots and tree bark to fill their stomachs. Although Zeng Zhengen obtained a lot of food from the system, she did not intend to take it out in this desolate mountain. After all, no one is a fool.

Because Pan Yang's family had not split up, the food supply was consumed very quickly and was almost exhausted. So Pan Yang said, "Everyone, hurry up. We will reach Bijie City soon. I will send a few people to Bijie City to buy food and find out about the situation there."

Hearing this, the people in the team showed hope and quickened their pace. Before long, the team had walked nearly thirty miles.

Just as everyone was happy and ready to return to the pipeline as soon as possible, Zeng Zhengen's face suddenly changed. She heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. Although the sound was still far away, her senses became particularly sharp after drinking the spiritual spring water, especially her hearing.

Zeng Zhengen's heart tightened, and he quickly walked to the front and reported the situation to Pan Yang. Pan Yang's face became very nervous after hearing it.

"Girl Zeng, are you sure there are really horse hoof sounds ahead?" The village head looked at Zeng Zhengen with doubt. After all, among so many people, she was the only one who heard the sound.

"Pan Yang, I must have heard it right," Zeng Zhengen said seriously, "There are indeed horse hooves ahead, and there are quite a few of them, at least a dozen. I'm worried they are bandits, let's quickly hide in the mountains!"

There was famine everywhere, and ordinary people could not afford horses. In this situation, if they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in a remote mountain forest, it was most likely bandit activity. Zeng Zhengen's words made the head of the village hesitate, and he was still thinking about whether he really wanted to avoid it.

"Old man, why are you still hesitating? Zeng girl said it might be bandits. Let's go up the mountain and hide!" Pan Yang's wife was so anxious that she immediately advised.

She couldn't explain why, but when she heard Zeng Zhenghao mention the bandits, she inexplicably believed her judgment.

"But..." Pan Yang still had some concerns in his heart. After all, hurrying on the journey was the top priority.

"But what?" Pan Yang's wife interrupted him impatiently, "Even if we have to go to Bijie City, what does it matter if we delay for a while? We have been walking in the mountains for so many days, do we still need a little time to hide? Why don't we wait until the bandits leave before going down the mountain?"

After listening to what his wife said, Pan Yang felt that it made sense and finally nodded in agreement.

"Everyone, listen up!" Pan Yang said in a serious and urgent voice, "There may be bandits ahead. For everyone's safety, I decided to lead the team up the mountain to take shelter first. After the bandits leave, we will go down the mountain and go to Yuncheng to get information."

Hearing this, everyone's faces turned pale instantly.

"Bandits? How could there be bandits?"

"We are almost at Bijie City, how come bandits suddenly appear?"

"This God is really torturing me! I finally managed to escape from the famine, but now I have to encounter bandits. There is really no way for me to survive!"

The older women in the team started to complain, and some children started to cry loudly in fear, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Even the strong men in the team looked depressed, with faces full of helplessness and despair.
