Protagonist:

Shen Yao

"The Official is recruiting staff recently, do you want to go try it?"

Wei Mingyu has internal channels, and his sources of information are more than Shen Yao's.

This recruitment was originally meant to be conducted privately, but considering the large number of migrating people and the thoughts of the locals, the Official, in order to balance things, plans to recruit some people from Rimu City.

"Official recruitment probably has many requirements," Shen Yao didn't think she could qualify; on the surface, she hadn't even finished university, counting as being on leave at home.

"There are many requirements, and the work isn't easy either; the only relatively light one is planting, but planting is all in enclosed environments, some even underground. Working all day, anyone with a slightly weaker body can't withstand this intensity."

Telling Shen Yao the information he knew, Wei Mingyu told her to think it over carefully: "If you work, the salary and treatment are secondary; the main thing is that the place you go to has safety guarantees."

Right now, fruits and vegetables are more useful than people; experts are using all sorts of methods for research, just to make the masses live more comfortably.

"I understand, I'll think this matter over carefully," If she could go, it would also count as finding a small backing; staying in the residential area all the time would attract the attention of people with ulterior motives.

The two of them ate their fill with the food and dishes; Wei Mingyu didn't return immediately, but instead used the idle tables and chairs at Shen Yao's home to work.

Neither of them disturbed the other, each doing their own work, until the time came to nine-thirty in the evening; Wei Mingyu rubbed his wrist, stood up, and left.

Shen Yao double-locked the room door, then returned to her bedroom to think about the recruitment matter.

Without a doubt, going to work would definitely be tiring, and running around outside every day, over time her house might be coveted by people with impure intentions.

She still remembered that Wei Mingyu had said that after the cold wave, the Official would organize manpower to build houses.

So many people were waiting for resettlement, their brains were about to be beaten into dog brains.

The room she lived in, no matter from which angle you looked at it, was excellent; it was inevitable that someone would have improper thoughts and want to sneakily hit her with a stick and take it for themselves.

Thinking it over in her heart, Shen Yao felt she had to take this Official recruitment job—not to earn a few melons and dates, but to use the opportunity to make herself stand out.

Talent, no matter when, is always the more the better.

……

Shen Yao made up her mind to make herself a talent, so in dealing with the upcoming entrance examination, she unleashed one hundred and twenty percent of her effort, successfully killed her way out of the encirclement among the crowd, and was selected by the Official.

Although the work she did was very ordinary, just an employee of a planting garden, every day she buried her head in taking care of several bunches of soil-grown plants, to prevent the plants from not producing seeds.

The work time was set for half a month after the assessment ended; at this time it was already early December, the weather was excessively cold, even if she wrapped herself up like a ball, she couldn't block the piercing cold wind blowing over.

Shen Yao put on thick clothes, and outside there was another layer of protective suit used to block the wind.

Seen from afar, she looked like a chubby bear, cute and adorable without a head.

It's just that the time to walk there was a bit long; Shen Yao sighed and sighed again, thinking in her heart that this job was really not easy, but even so, it was hard to get even if you broke your head trying; Shen Yao being selected was largely thanks to her knowing how to farm.

That's right, just knowing how to farm; the seedlings grown by her hands grew very healthy, and even if they produced seeds, the seeds were plump and full of vitality; as for why this was so, it was because Shen Yao planted some tech-enhanced fast-growing vegetables.

The fast-growing vegetables didn't taste very good, but they could provide the human body with necessary nutritional components; they were the items with the highest sales volume and the cheapest price at the Official Supermarket.

If it weren't for the arrival of the natural disaster, these things wouldn't be taken out by the Official now; because they had defects, they couldn't care about so much anymore.

Shen Yao arrived at the planting garden; this place's original body was an office building, and now except for the shell, everything else had been remodeled into an environment suitable for planting.

Taking off the protective suit on her body, Shen Yao greeted the group leader in charge, then casually picked up a drum of fertilizer and walked to the small green vegetables that had sprouted green buds.

Splash splash—

The fertilizer in her hand was constantly being thrown out; she pulled out the weeds growing around the small green vegetables, and Shen Yao didn't forget to observe whether the seeds she had previously formulated were effective or not.

Although hybrid seeds had obvious shortcomings, the finished products grown from them were big and round, very suitable for large-scale production and sales.

Nowadays, disaster sweeping the globe, reduced grain production was a certainty.

Shen Yao could do little; she tried to smuggle some seeds from her space out bit by bit, and then conduct hybrid cross-breeding ratios.

These were all experimental products with unstable traits; having one or two mutant varieties was considered normal and had nothing to do with Shen Yao.

System: ……

The System had a hard time speaking, feeling that Shen Yao doing this was a case of putting in a lot of effort without appreciation.

Shen Yao shrugged her shoulders, telling the System to pay more attention to her own merit; good deeds and good things could earn merit; she indirectly saved so many people by relying on seeds, and even if the World Consciousness was stingy, it would still give her benefits.

"Although you always say this planet can't take care of humans, humans are special;" as long as there was a little hope, they could tenaciously survive.

The changes Shen Yao made were just a little bit, but the impact brought was very huge.

Shen Yao, who had experience harvesting wool, explained earnestly to the System, and by the way told it that although she was playing it safe, her mission goal had not been lost.

The overall environment being good was beneficial to her life; when civilization wasn't torn apart, everyone would put on a good person mask, even if it was a false appearance.

Soon, the fertilizer in her hand was used up by Shen Yao; Shen Yao felt her body was a bit hot, so she took off two more pieces of clothing, then picked up the fertilizer again to continue scattering.

The fertilizer was a new product from the laboratory, its effect unknown; Shen Yao's side needed to compare and experiment.

As expected, in the next few days, Shen Yao had to bury her head in taking notes and observing results every day, striving to find the one with the best effect, and rushing to let the factory produce.

Unexpectedly, over the next few days, Shen Yao kept her head down every day taking notes on observation results, striving to find the most effective one, seizing time to let the factory go into production.

Someone called her; it was an acquaintance from the planting garden, and also their group leader.

Someone called her; she was an acquaintance from the Planting Garden, and also their Group Leader.

Shen Yao patted the dirt off her body, walked over, and asked the other party what was the matter.

Sister Li made a "hai" sound, pointed her finger forward, "A newcomer has arrived; our group only has a spot on your side;" she could only arrange it this way.

Li Jie huffed, pointing at the front, "The newcomers have arrived; our group only has room on your side," so they could only arrange it this way.

Shen Yao blinked her eyes, "Coming at this time;" is there someone at home?

Recruitment had already ended; the planting garden had more men than women; the newcomer was a male, looking thin and weak; placing him by Shen Yao's side wasn't that big of a deal.

Sister Li sighed, her mouth pouting quickly, "He was someone who went to the construction team earlier; he couldn't do the work there, so he could only be assigned to the planting garden to do some light work."

Shen Yao blinked her eyes, "Coming at this time;" is there someone at home?

【61】 Recruitment had already ended; the planting garden had more men than women; the newcomer was a male, looking thin and weak; placing him by Shen Yao's side wasn't that big of a deal.

【62】 Sister Li sighed, her mouth pouting quickly, "He was someone who went to the construction team earlier; he couldn't do the work there, so he could only be assigned to the planting garden to do some light work."

Construction Team? Shen Yao shifted her eyes, thinking that Construction Team recruitment was all about brute strength; this man had gotten hired by the Construction Team yet couldn't do heavy labor—any normal person would have been weeded out long ago. How could they possibly transfer him to the Planting Garden?

"Sister Li, I understand. There's still some weeding work here that needs manpower. He came at just the right time," Shen Yao said, instantly dumping the easiest task on hand onto him.

Sister Li smiled. "Don't hold back. If it's not suitable, just tell me directly."

Sister Li looked down on this kind of backdoor hiring. What era was this, still doing such things?

Waving her hand and exchanging a few words with Shen Yao, Sister Li left in a hurry.

But the man who had followed Sister Li in had a surly expression and knew nothing about work. Forget doing labor, he simply plopped himself down, cared about nothing, and sat motionless.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao had never seen such a person. She glanced at the already empty fertilizer drum, merely mentioned that weeding was needed, then after returning the items she took out her notebook and drew sketches against the field before her.

By evening, Shen Yao got dressed and finished work. As for work hours, the newcomer was more relaxed than her and didn't need her reminders at all.

"Damn it!"

A child without sense must have a parent without sense behind them.

Shen Yao didn't want to argue too much with this person, and they rarely interacted anyway. Aside from necessary communication, she preferred not to speak if she could avoid it.

But even so, she still couldn't dodge the other party's various schemes.

Watching her experimental results being stolen, with the other party looking smug, Shen Yao silently finished her own work, turned around, and left.

"Host, why aren't you kicking up a fuss? Getting something for nothing? That's not this Host's style."

"Kick up a fuss over what? It's a half-finished product. He's bold; if he wants to use it, let him use it."

The blended fertilizer hadn't passed through her hands, so it was incomplete.

"The people above aren't stupid. He thinks grabbing a notebook will let him steal it? Maybe others could, but Shen Yao's treasures are all products of another world. This world doesn't even have the raw materials."

On the surface she was indignant, but in reality her eating and drinking were unaffected at all. Shen Yao just rested at home for a few days, and then the management asked her back.

Sister Li watched Shen Yao return and forced a smile to offer a few words of comfort.

"Don't take him to heart, Little Shen. Sister Li trusts you the most."

Her words came out haltingly. Seeing Shen Yao's expression unchanged, she left in a hurry.

This person was highly skilled at going with the flow. If Shen Yao hadn't remembered Sister Li quietly complaining and griping about Lin Tao on the day he first arrived, she might have thought it was an illusion.

"I know the situation. These fertilizers aren't finished products. To use them in large quantities, several more experiments are still needed."

Shen Yao reached out and pinched some, holding it to her nose to smell. The scent had faded quite a bit.

This fertilizer was more volatile than ordinary fertilizer. Used well, there would be no waste at all—it could be called a utilization rate of up to ninety percent.

Shen Yao had originally planned to combine it with a type of decomposing spirit grass in her space, blending the two to further increase the utilization rate.

Because Lin Tao suddenly barged in and threw things off schedule, time was pushed back. Even if completed, the earliest would be after the New Year.

"There isn't enough time." A half-finished product couldn't meet farming needs; otherwise, the management wouldn't have come to Shen Yao again.

After apologizing slightly to the person who came to find her, Shen Yao busied herself at her usual pace, which greatly increased the safety around her.

Sister Li, who used to be able to exchange a few words with Shen Yao, no longer dared to come over. The entire area around them was pretty much cleared out.

"What is this? Winning them over? Making a gesture of goodwill?"

It wasn't Shen Yao's fault to begin with. She farmed and lived seriously; it was others who grew greedy and wanted more, leading to this series of events.

Still, it at least spared Shen Yao unnecessary socializing. Some things weren't troublesome, but it was nicer to be idle. Who liked being worn out?

Shen Yao went to work on time and finished work on time every day. Her research progressed in an orderly fashion.

By the time the management was waiting for results and growing anxious, the New Year arrived.

Shen Yao carried a bag of New Year's prizes home. A thick layer of snow had already fallen on her heavy clothes.

Snowflakes drifted down outside—not big, not small, falling endlessly.

Shen Yao didn't dislike winter, but now the temperature had dropped to minus forty degrees. According to the official forecast, it might continue to drop after the New Year.

If it dropped further, those living on the ground couldn't bear it, and the underground shelter had no place to accommodate them. Rimu City would probably be thrown into chaos again.

Feeling somewhat worried, Shen Yao sorted through the New Year's goods she had brought back. Things that could be stored went to the storage room; things that couldn't were eaten promptly.

The cold had its benefits. Even a power outage wouldn't affect food preservation, saving Shen Yao a lot of electricity.

Clatter clatter—

The sound of sorting supplies was a bit noisy, especially in an empty room with only herself.

Soon, one bag was scraped to the bottom. Shen Yao rubbed her hands and went to the bedroom to turn on the hair dryer to ease her somewhat stiff body and arms.

It was cold, and power and water outages had become common. The generator in her space had its uses, and the solar panels previously used to store electricity were now spread out in the living room all day—better than nothing.

But doing this was ultimately treating symptoms, not the root cause. Supply was less than demand, and there wasn't enough electricity. The hair dryer that could originally run twenty-four hours a day now had to be used less and less. If Shen Yao didn't have other ways to keep warm, she might freeze herself sick.

"She'd still have to take out a quilt. The electric blanket's power isn't enough."

Touching the cold bedding, Shen Yao took out a thicker cotton quilt from her space. Inside the quilt was a layer of down—light and warm.

Even so, sitting on the bed, she still couldn't take off her outer clothes.

Wearing thick, puffy clothes, she curled up into a ball to keep warm. Shen Yao felt it was about time and hurried out of the bedroom to eat.

The food wasn't freshly made; it was cooked food she had stored in her space earlier.

Since Wei Mingyu had resumed his busy daily routine, Shen Yao and his meal-buddy life had fizzled out.

Now Shen Yao relied entirely on herself for three meals a day. Fortunately, there was enough food stored in her space. Shen Yao slurped down her meal quickly, and while the bowls and plates hadn't yet frozen solid, she washed them with warm water from her space.

She put the washed bowls and plates back into her space, then went to the living room to check the solar panels that had been basking in the sun all day. She found the stored electricity was less than before, so she had to move the other solar panels from her space out.

If quality wasn't enough, she made up for it with quantity. She couldn't really go without the electric heating pad and electric warm air blower. The room had long since lost its heating. Without these two treasures that heated up quickly, Shen Yao could only take an alchemy pill and get through the day.

The number of alchemy pills was limited, and there were other restrictions. But whenever there was a way, Shen Yao wouldn't want to set her eyes on alchemy pills. They were poison that made people addicted.

Full from eating and drinking, she felt a bit sleepy.

Just as the bed was warm enough, Shen Yao took off her outer clothes, curled up into the bed, closed her eyes, and rested.

She didn't have to work for these few days of the New Year. Shen Yao planned not to go out unless necessary and hide for a few days.

As for eating and drinking during the holidays, thanks to the space's storage function, her leftover food could still make up several tables of Manchu Han Imperial Feasts, saving her quite a bit of trouble.
