Protagonist:

Shen Yao

"Second Sister, Second Sister"

Shen Le ran over again, with three little tails following her.

Shen Yao held a hoe in her hand, mud on her shoes, just returned from the mountain foot.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Le had been busy lately because of Songlin Village; after all, the weather was gradually getting colder, the fruit trees she raised needed winter maintenance, and the chickens and ducks she raised needed to be sold for money.

If it weren't for the Shen Family being in Sweetwater Village, and Songlin Village not being far from Sweetwater Village, Shen Le would have wanted to directly take root in Songlin Village and not return to rest until she sold everything.

"Second Sister, a fight broke out!" Shen Le widened her eyes, spinning around everywhere.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao pointed to the residence not far away, had Wen Qi lead the younger brothers and sisters inside, and pulled Shen Le aside to ask for specific news, "Speak clearly."

Shen Le made an "oh" sound, exaggeratedly pointing to the mountain not far away, "The Shi family at East Village found a vine full of fruit, took it back to hand over to the Official Personnel at the village entrance for testing, one fruit sold for one hundred thousand!"

That's not a small amount of money; who let the fruits on the vine have double digits.

And being able to let Official Personnel assess a price of six digits for one fruit shows this kind of fruit is not ordinary.

With the Spiritual Qi Revival, New Humans are no longer something that can be gotten by hiding, let alone the Official never thought of hiding, but is just guiding with a plan.

Like the overnight wealth Shen Le mentioned, as the Spiritual Qi Revival gets stronger, it will happen to more and more people.

"Sweetwater Village will be very lively during this period, especially the few mountains around Sweetwater Village."

Shen Yao raised her hand and pointed, telling Shen Le not to go join the fun if there's nothing to do; the villagers are not simple people, they are mostly greedy.

After all, who doesn't love money?

Under the premise that money hasn't been invalidated and purchasing power is not low, everyone likes making money.

Even if not making money, just one fruit worth one hundred thousand is attractive enough; eating it oneself might make one become a New Human, and then having the ability to fly and burrow underground, isn't that even more impressive?

Shen Le originally wanted to go up the mountain for a stroll, but after her Second Sister said that, she immediately stopped that thought and focused on that piece of land in Songlin Village.

Shen Guozhu and his wife's thoughts were also very fiery, including Shen Shuo staying at home (after helping Shen Le, he had been at home taking care of the three children); it's just that Shen Yao spoke clearly and clearly, they didn't have the ability of three heads and six arms, to go up the mountain with the villagers to find fruit? Forget it.

Just like that, the liveliness of Sweetwater Village didn't decrease but increased, because fruits worth one hundred thousand each stimulated many people; as long as there was greed in their hearts, they went up the mountain in groups of three or two, and even if the Official emphasized the danger on the mountain again and again, they couldn't stop those who wanted to get rich.

Sure enough, half a month after the fruit sold for a high price, those who went up the mountain had an accident.

Five went up the mountain, two came down, and they were all in a half-dead state.

Crying to the heavens and shouting to the earth, asking the Official Personnel at the village entrance to save people; there are wild beasts eating people on the mountain!

The Official naturally couldn't ignore it, took people to the accident site, but unfortunately, besides remnants of human body fragments, not a shadow of a wild beast could be seen there.

The case could only be shelved indefinitely; neither drones nor high technology could find the shadow of the wild beast, and manpower was even more impossible to be inexhaustible.

"Sigh"

Fu Chunfang sighed, warning the few children at home not to go up the mountain; people went fine, but didn't come back, and were even cut into eight hundred pieces.

Saying eight hundred pieces is a bit exaggerated, but it really was the kind where not a trace of the corpse remained.

Wild beasts eating people definitely chew them up before swallowing; one can imagine what those bone fragments are like.

The people of Sweetwater Village were scared and no longer dared to go up the mountain to make money (for now); every household sighed and lamented, some sympathizing with the families who had accidents, some regretting that the money-making business didn't last a few days.

The human heart is inherently a complex thing, hard to explain clearly.

Shen Yao still circled around her own farm.

It should have been a normal morning, but the Management Bureau's car came whistling over.

"There, something is strange."

Shen Yao pointed to a small field at the mountain foot, where medicinal herbs and Spiritual Plants were planted.

Shen Yao handed over Spiritual Plants to the Official from time to time, and medicinal herbs were sold every few months; but at this juncture, problems appeared in the medicine field, with several medicinal herbs mutating under the effect of Spiritual Qi.

As a Wood-type Ability User who wanted to hug the Official's thigh, Shen Yao looked down on these few mutated medicinal herbs, so the Management Bureau appeared this morning.

Putting away these few medicinal herbs, Shen Yao pointed to the chickens and ducks not far away; animal mutation far exceeded plant mutation.

The livestock types in the farm were not many; Shen Yao purposefully restricted animal mutation, but chickens and ducks were too numerous, and no matter how strictly guarded, accidents would still happen.

Since the Management Bureau came, one matter shouldn't trouble two masters; just take them all away directly.

Management Bureau:...

The Management Bureau left satisfied, at the same time preparing a draft in their hearts to report upward.

Such talent is not common; shouldn't their Official raise the corresponding treatment? They can't let the hearts of Meritorious Officials grow cold.

Shen Yao soon received a commendation from the Official, with money and goods, and among these goods were items containing Spiritual Qi, rare Nourishing Supplements.

Shen Yao naturally wouldn't eat them herself; she didn't lack these things; in the end, these things all went into the stomachs of the Shen Family members; after all, they were blood relatives; whether it was Shen Guozhu and his wife who were getting older with constant health problems, or the juniors who were more likely to awaken abilities, they all received real benefits.

Of course, when Shen Yao gave them, she had already made things clear; after Shen Guozhu and his wife felt their bodies obviously improve but didn't awaken any abilities, they felt even more heartache; this was all money!

Shen Yao:...

"Dad, Mom, what time is it now; is money more important or life more important?"

Shen Le also felt heartache over the six-digit value things Second Sister gave them, but thinking again, no matter how much money is earned, without the ability to protect it, it's just working for others for free.

Weren't people online always chanting 'Neighbors hoard supplies, I hoard guns, neighbors are my granary'; anyway, they must first have the ability to protect themselves before they can guard valuable items and money.

"You girl, your dad and I were just muttering," Fu Chunfang glanced at Shen Le, then talked about the madness outside Sweetwater Village; everywhere were people who didn't care about their lives for money, and many accidents of going up the mountain to die had occurred in surrounding villages and towns.

But even so, they still couldn't stop those who wanted to get rich overnight.

How simple it is to go up the mountain; with a bit of luck, one can find a string of fruit; whether sold to the Official or Rich People, they will have food and clothing without worry in the future.

People living in the village had no great skills; they spent all day tending crops and earned little money.

The golden road laid before them now was dangerous but also brought wealth; besides, everyone who went up the mountain harbored a lucky streak—what if it wasn't me? What if I could find something and never worry about food and drink again?

The Shen family had Shen Yao keeping them down so they wouldn't harbor improper thoughts; besides, they lacked neither money nor goods, only a bit of luck.

…………

Shen Shuo clenched his palm; it was the day before the year's end, and as usual he accompanied Shen Le back from Songlin Village.

But Shen Shuo did not return to the Shen family first; instead, he hurriedly ran to the farmstead.

"Second Sister."

Shen Yao in winter was even more languid; Yu Ze Yun occasionally came over to chat, and at other times she either stayed in her room or went to the foot of the mountain to tend those medicinal herbs.

It was just that after the previous battle, Shen Yao's supply of medicinal herbs had decreased extremely quickly; unwilling to keep working in the bitter cold, she rested lazily and scatteredly.

"Sit."

Shen Shuo's butt had just touched the sofa when he jumped up as if burned by fire; "Second Sister, someone in Songlin Village found a squirrel that can spit fire, and the official reward is five hundred thousand."

Shen Yao made an "en" sound and nodded; "And then?" Just because of this, Shen Shuo wouldn't have rushed to the farmstead to find her in such a hurry.

Shen Shuo:...

Shen Shuo lowered his head; "The chickens and ducks at my uncle's house have also mutated; after the officials came and took them away, they gave three hundred thousand."

Those chicken and duck kids were taken from Third Sister's hands, and Grandfather wants some more."

Shen Yao raised her hand and rubbed her head; "Shen Le's business of renting the mountain to raise chickens and ducks cannot last long."

If she has time, she should still hurry to get Grandfather and them to join in."

Songlin Village was not Sweetwater Village; besides, Fu Chunfang's feelings had to be considered. Not to mention that they wanted chicken and duck kids right now—even if the Fu family forcibly stuck their nose in, Shen Le could only swallow this bitterness in her belly.

Otherwise? Make a scene and tear faces with relatives? Songlin Village had a large population; did Shen Le still want to keep doing business? In the countryside, daring to go it alone meant either being stupid or having backing.

"Second Sister, you say eating more new creatures—will one become a new human?"

"There's a probability."

After all, awakening of abilities depends on fate; some people awaken without doing anything, while others eat good things like rice and still show no change.

Shen Yao could understand Shen Shuo's thoughts, but she had no absolute certainty that she could make someone awaken their ability.

Not to mention her—even the officials were making slow progress; only a few special spiritual plants could do it, but the whole country had so few resources; if they weren't urgently used to cultivate and strengthen the military, how could they be given to common people?

After all, national stability comes first; everything else must wait.

Amidst the plain and ordinary, the New Year arrived, and the Shen family gathered at the old house to eat.

Except for Shen Xin, who had no news at all, even Shen Liang and his wife came back.

Zhou Wei mentioned the chaos outside; several supermarkets at home had been shut down, and thieves appeared from time to time; the two of them had the idea of returning to the village.

Shen Guozhu and his wife said nothing; after all, there were many rooms at home, with places to live; since they wanted to come back, let them come back.

But Sweetwater Village was just that big; Shen Liang couldn't make use of his strengths (running a supermarket) upon returning, so he could only farm with Shen Guozhu and his wife.

Shen Liang didn't want to farm; he hesitantly proposed to go help at the farmstead, the implication being that Shen Yao's farmstead was busy and she alone couldn't manage it, and as her elder brother he had an inescapable responsibility.

The Shen family and Shen Yao:...

That was a bit shameless; why was he still eyeing his siblings' property?

Shen Yao refused; "There is plenty of wasteland in the village; Eldest Young Master can spend his own money to rent from the Village Chief."

"Second Sister, I..." Shen Liang licked the corner of his mouth, thinking that starting over was too much trouble and suffering; of course, picking up someone else's ready-made thing was more satisfying.

Shen Liang's thoughts couldn't be understood by normal people, but who made him feel so good about himself?

Before Shen Yao could speak, Shen Guozhu was already angry enough to slap the table and curse, telling Shen Liang to get lost quickly.

Fu Chunfang's face was full of disappointment; her two children were truly, truly useless!

The elders dispersed unhappily, and the juniors trembled with fear.

The Shen family spent this New Year without flavor; the three grandchildren were even more fearful and anxious, afraid the elders' anger would spread to them.

Heaven pitied them; they really knew nothing, and it had nothing to do with them!

When the new year came and Shen Yao returned to the farmstead, she received news of the explosive growth of mutated creatures nationwide.

The original purchase price plummeted; except for certain extremely special types, other common mutated creatures had their related prices slashed across the board.

Shen Le had even come back to complain about this; the grandfather and several uncles in Songlin Village had all raised chickens and ducks, hoping to make a fortune, but now it looked like it was just so-so.

Mutated creatures appeared at Shen Yao's farmstead from time to time; these were all results of the Spiritual Qi Revival.

Some were sold by Shen Yao to the Management Bureau; some went into the Shen family's bellies.

Because of eating like this, finally in early May, Shen Shuo awakened and an ability appeared within him.

"Clairvoyance?"

The ability from ancient myths?

Shen Shuo had already passed the initial excitement; he rubbed his eyes; "I can't see a thousand li yet; at most right now it's within a ten-li radius;" there was also a time limit.

That's not bad! At least it's better than the speed or strength mutations that are everywhere.

"Sister, I've already reported to the Management Bureau; in a couple of days I'll have a formal job."

Shen Shuo waved the fist in his hand; you have to know he hadn't even graduated from university; he simply envied those college students looking for jobs to death.

Shen Shuo's awakening made the Shen family happy; especially the three children, their thoughts were wild and unrestrained, and they hoped even more that this kind of opportunity would fall on themselves.

But until June, another earthquake that made the planet expand arrived, and the other Shen family members were still ordinary people.

They hadn't eaten few good things; because mutated creatures increased, as long as one was serious and willing to work, planting some crops in the fields at home, one could encounter several mutated creatures.

But those who could rely on these to awaken were ultimately still a minority; most were mediocre ordinary people, busily living day after day.

Yu Ze Yun was very busy this year; almost all his time was spent on missions, he could return few times, let alone that most of the time he had to squeeze out time to spend with Shen Yao.

The Yu family living in the city all came to Sweetwater Village; even if unaccustomed, they were striving to overcome it, instead of persisting for a few days and then dejectedly running back to the city.

Even so, the number of outsiders in Sweetwater Village still reached the highest in years; even with official staff stationed at the village entrance to block them, they couldn't stop the effect of money power.

……

Shen Yao stood in front of her own farm, accompanied by low-key Management Bureau personnel who had come over.

After three earthquakes, the speed of Planet Expansion grew faster and faster.

The most direct sensation was that the newly appeared land area of Shen Yao's farm reached one-third of the original; Shen Yao alone could not manage so much, and finally chose to partner with the Management Bureau, with one side responsible for farming and the other for sales, finally sharing accounts together.

Because of the farm, the number of Official Personnel stationed at the Village Entrance increased, and along with it a batch of Official Personnel with extremely high Martial Force moved into the farm, greatly ensuring Shen Yao's safety.
