Protagonist:

Shen Yao

After meeting Shen Yao once, Yu Ze Yun moved into the residence that had just been built not long ago.

It was a three-story villa, larger in area than Shen Yao's farm residence, enclosed by a courtyard wall in front, with a few newly opened vegetable plots in the middle, and the back courtyard leading to a not-too-steep mountain peak where wild vegetables could be picked on ordinary days.

For this piece of land, the Yu family spent no small amount of connections; originally they had wanted everything to be perfect, so after Yu Ze Yun moved in, apart from daily food and drink, everything else was no problem.

"When is your family moving over?"

Shen Yao looked at Yu Ze Yun sitting in front of her; this person came to mooch meals (paying for them) every day on time, keeping his boundaries very steady.

"Wait until spring, when there are fields and water here, it will be more comfortable than living in the city."

Yu Ze Yun said his family didn't like staying in the city either; before the New Year, when he was busy with missions, the Yu family had already thought of moving as soon as possible, but Yu Ze Yun was afraid that moving too fast would leave hidden dangers, so they planned to take it slowly.

Shen Yao picked up some vegetables with her chopsticks, "The farm has fruit and vegetable seeds."

Compared to the ordinary varieties available outside, the ones in her hands were all quality goods that had been cultivated.

Nourished by spiritual energy, whether the final products or the seeds were all very good; it was also because Yu Ze Yun had sent her money for several months, otherwise Shen Yao would never have actively given the seeds away.

Yu Ze Yun finished the rice and dishes in his bowl, then smiled and nodded.

After about half a month, Yu Ze Yun's parents drove over, with a whole truck behind them, fully loaded with the supplies they brought.

Below the residence was a basement, with walls around it made of special materials; not only could it store ingredients and supplies, but in times of crisis one could also go in to avoid danger.

"Your Second Uncle and them plan to build a new residence next door; anyway, the family bought some empty land there, so it's better to live separately, to avoid future conflicts."

Yu Ze Yun's mother was a university professor, now officially retired at home.

The Second Uncle she mentioned was Yu Xingye's family; although the Yu family was a large clan, counting from Yu Ze Yun's grandfather's generation downward, the population was still very small.

By the grandchildren's generation there were only Yu Xingye and Yu Ze Yun, so their relationship was very good.

"There isn't much empty land in Sweetwater Village; just right, the land next door has already been bought by us."

"It's just that Second Uncle wants to build a house and needs to seize the time; the longer it's delayed, the more variables there will be."

Sweetwater Village didn't have many villagers, but the village area wasn't large.

Yu Ze Yun planned to live in Sweetwater Village for a long time; he had long understood the situation of Sweetwater Village; fortunately it was a village of mixed surnames, with no clique phenomenon.

Unlike the surrounding few villages and towns, where big households controlled certain resources, villagers living in the same village were all bullied, let alone city people coming from outside.

"Rest assured, I've already contacted the previous construction team, same requirements as before; as long as the price is right, the residence can be built in less than two months."

Shen Yao's farm welcomed two new customers, who like Yu Ze Yun needed three meals a day.

Shen Yao:...

Yu Ze Yun was helpless; his parents were not people who could cook; when in the city they could hire people with money, but after coming to the village they couldn't directly expose themselves.

It wasn't that Shen Yao's farm offered farmhouse entertainment services; the two of them came to eat three meals a day, thought the food tasted good, and directly turned short-term dining into long-term residence; anyway, the Yu family wasn't short of money.

Shen Yao just thought it was fun, and definitely didn't mean to push business outward.

Besides, the Yu couple knew a lot; simple exchanges of a few sentences on ordinary days could give Shen Yao inspiration; wasn't it just liking to eat at the farm? Shen Yao simply spent a large sum to hire the auntie who cooked at noon to be responsible for three meals a day; the materials used were all produced from the farm's land; as long as one was willing to use ingredients generously, it wouldn't taste bad.

In April, the greenery was lush.

The crops in the farm sprouted one after another, growing vigorously.

The villagers of Sweetwater Village, after finishing their own field work every day, would run to the farm to work.

The people from the Management Bureau came discreetly and earnestly invited Shen Yao to leave the mountain to help.

"The seeds were discovered in the dense forest; laboratory tests showed good viability, but they couldn't be grown."

They first chose wood-type ability users employed by the official or military to try cultivating them, but the effect was not obvious.

Later, the leader suggested pooling ideas, thinking that capable people could be invited to brainstorm together; Shen Yao was recognized by the Management Bureau because of the medicinal herbs she cultivated and crops with special effects (spiritual plants), which led to the matter before her eyes.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao finally agreed to the Management Bureau's request; emotionally and rationally, cooperating with the official had no drawbacks.

Moreover, this time going out would just let the official realize her importance.

The more chaotic the situation, the more dangerous her residence would be; it was time to give Sweetwater Village a layer of insurance.

After learning about this matter, Yu Ze Yun said he was also invited to travel with Shen Yao.

"The official plans to take this opportunity to investigate all ability users."

Before this, the official had left civilian awakened ability users in a state of free-range; as long as these ability users did not openly violate or challenge social order and laws, the official would turn a blind eye.

But the future situation would only get worse; the official feared loss of order, and ordinary people's living space would be infinitely compressed.

"Nip the danger in the bud, cut off the possibility of future expansion;" the official's approach had no problem at all.

Shen Yao and Yu Ze Yun's abilities leaned toward support; self-preservation was sufficient, but attack was insufficient.

Let alone other ordinary people who had not awakened abilities; they could survive in a society with normal order, but in a society of the weak being preyed upon by the strong, they were all cannon fodder.

Three days later, Shen Yao and Yu Ze Yun left in the Management Bureau's vehicle.

The farm's affairs were temporarily handed over to Shen Guozhu and his wife; since it wasn't the season for selling fruits and vegetables, apart from daily work there was nothing else to do at the farm, and Shen Le would also return from Songlin Village, so Shen Yao was completely not worried about problems arising at the farm.

"Miss Shen, Mr. Yu, this time we are going to the laboratory."

"The geographical location is relatively remote, mobile signal is weak; please both understand."

Sitting in the co-pilot seat was precisely the person in charge of this operation; although young, he spoke in an organized and amiable manner.

The medicinal herbs and spiritual plants cultivated at Shen Yao's farm were all handed over to the official through this person's hands; both sides had a foundation of previous cooperation, and getting along didn't require being overly careful.

"Captain Sun, how long will this operation take?"

Previously it was only said within one month, without a specific time.

The young man called Captain Sun nodded. "If progress is fast, half a month; if not, we'll still strive to finish within a month."

Shen Yao smiled and said it was fine, since the farm's crops needed time to mature anyway; otherwise her losses would have to be reimbursed by the Management Bureau.

"Reimbursing Miss Shen is only natural," he said. Who among the Management Bureau staff hadn't eaten the vegetables and fruits produced by the farm? They were truly good for the body, and truly scarce in quantity.

Chatting and laughing, the car soon drove out of the city center, heading for a remote suburb.

The surrounding roads grew increasingly complex, the shade cast by tall trees covering the entire road. Shen Yao had sharp eyes and noticed small and medium-sized wild beasts hiding behind the trees, each one becoming smarter.

"Captain Sun, how's the situation lately? I heard some deep mountains and old forests have animals that have become spirits."

To say they had become spirits was more like an awakening of extraordinary abilities; like the new humans, they mastered all sorts of extraordinary powers, and their threat to humanity had greatly increased.

Captain Sun scratched his head upon hearing this. "Indeed there are, but the places they appear are mostly deep mountains and old forests, so their impact on humanity isn't significant in the short term."

Last year there were several earthquakes, causing the entire planet to swell and grow larger, mainly in the mountain forests rarely trodden by humans.

The authorities had once used the latest drones for on-site investigation, discovering not only animals that had become spirits, but also many mutated plants.

This time they invited Shen Yao to leave the mountain because these newly obtained seeds were different from before; the energy particles contained within were closer to the evolutionary components in the air.

The experts said if these seeds could be successfully planted this time, the fruits they bore might be of great use.

Spiritual Qi Revival! Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!

The authorities' minds ran wild; after all, in nearly a year's time, the benefits animals and plants received far exceeded those of these new humans like them.

What Captain Sun thought in his heart naturally couldn't be said, but it didn't stop him from selling Shen Yao a favor, including the civilian awakeners they would meet this time, and the personalities and tempers of these awakeners; Shen Yao heard it all in a wrapped-up manner.

In the evening, the car drove into the interior of a silver-white building.

Unlike some ordinary materials, this place was entirely made of special steel; even if several missiles came down, it couldn't be blown open.

After getting out of the car, Captain Sun handed over to a young man, then closely followed Captain Sun as he left, leaving Shen Yao and Yu Ze Yun to follow the young man.

The place they were going to right now was their residence; the matter would be discussed tomorrow morning.

"The rooms are upstairs, the cafeteria is downstairs, and there's a supermarket around."

The young man briefly introduced the place where they lived, then took another call and left.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao and Yu Ze Yun exchanged a glance, suddenly discovering they weren't as important as they had imagined.

Even if the Management Bureau people spoke earnestly, judging by their treatment, it was just by-the-book.

"Pretty good."

If she showed she valued it too much, Shen Yao would still worry the other side had ulterior motives.

Holding their respective room cards, they returned to their rooms to rest. Shen Yao and Yu Ze Yun agreed on a time to go downstairs for a meal, then she lay on the sofa and blanked out.

The System popped up at the right moment, saying the technology here was far stronger than in the city, "Still can't compare to the previous world." To deal with the major changes ahead, they could only rely on new humans who had awakened extraordinary abilities.

"Finally came out for a trip, System, unleash your abilities," and scout the situation for her.

System:...

The System felt the Host was getting thicker-skinned, taking white looting for granted.

"Host, you'd better hurry up and complete the mission," their transmigration absolutely couldn't be lost, otherwise both of them would be finished.

"What's the rush? Can't I choose carefully?" It had been said the situation ahead was probably not good. She herself could live without worry about food and drink, but raising a child—she had to find a capable partner no matter what.

The System kindly advised, "I think Yu Ze Yun isn't bad, Host, don't be too picky."

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao didn't take the System's words to heart. So what if she was picky? Being picky now was better than being schemed against after marriage.

"Get to work, don't dawdle here. If it affects our mission progress, System, I don't have much here, but you'll be in a bad way."

After all, the System was now out of contact and couldn't reach the Main System.

Shen Yao lived by earning a day for each extra day she lived, while the System wished she would complete more missions. Their goals were consistent, but their focuses differed in detail.

Persuaded by Shen Yao's words, the System didn't dawdle and left silently.

Shen Yao rested well in her room, then got up to find Yu Ze Yun to go downstairs for a meal.

The cafeteria, to take care of the people living there, was open twenty-four hours a day; no matter when you went, there were delicious dishes.

After ordering several meat dishes paired with vegetable dishes, Shen Yao and Yu Ze Yun sat together. Before they could speak, they heard arguing voices beside them.

Turning her head, she saw a young girl speaking excitedly into the phone.

They were still some distance away, but the girl hadn't controlled her volume, or rather, she was too angry and had forgotten this was a public place.

"The dishes here"

Yu Ze Yun picked up a chopsticksful and felt the taste was very similar to the products from Shen Yao's farm.

"Vegetables cultivated by a wood-type ability user."

The energy wasn't as rich as the farm with buried Spirit Stones and Arrays, but eating it was still better than ordinary vegetables.

The authorities still had some resources, but these resources were the authorities' trump cards, and they wouldn't easily put them out in the open.

The world here was very similar to modern society. The threats the country faced were not only natural disasters, but also other neighbors on the same planet.

In other words, the Spiritual Qi Revival caught all countries off guard. Otherwise, how would Hua Guo have any breathing room? They might have to fight a real battle with real knives and spears before being able to survive and develop in peace.

The two quickly finished eating and were about to head back when Shen Yao turned around and almost bumped into someone.

Fortunately, Yu Ze Yun was quick-eyed and quick-handed and pulled the person away. But the person who bumped into her wasn't so lucky; she fell to the ground, couldn't help sucking in a breath and wiping away tears.

Shen Yao:...

What was this supposed to be!

A patroller came over to deal with it, and Shen Yao just left with Yu Ze Yun.

It was that crying girl who, when they met the next day, apologized to Shen Yao. Her pair of red, swollen eyes showed she hadn't rested well the previous night.

This person was called Li Jing, a native of this province, originally living in the village as a primary school teacher.

Later, after the Spiritual Qi Revival, she awakened an ability related to speed. After being registered by the Management Bureau, she could be considered to have an iron rice bowl.

It was just that Li Jing's family situation wasn't great; the elders at home had a strong preference for sons over daughters, and whatever good things Li Jing had, they wanted to pull into their own son's hands.

This time was no different; Li Jing insisted on bringing them along when she went out, and on the phone they caused all sorts of entanglement and fuss.

Li Jing was naturally soft in personality; otherwise, relying on the Management Bureau she could have pushed away the vampire's family, but she just couldn't do it.

As the fuss went on and on, she had worn herself out enough spite, not to mention the Li family remained self-willed.

Shen Yao wanted to say a few words, but seeing that Li Jing wasn't the type to stand firm, she could only let people find difficulty with the Management Bureau; her Speed Ability was of great use in some respects, and the Management Bureau wouldn't not care.

To put it bluntly, the Li family pressed too hard, affecting Li Jing's mission for the Management Bureau, and the Li family couldn't afford to compensate for the losses caused.

Chatting a few idle words with Li Jing with a smile, the group was brought to the Conference Room and entered the main topic.
