Main Character:

Shen Yao

The pond had not been cleaned; weeds of all kinds grew thickly both around it and within it.

These were not ordinary pre-apocalypse weeds; every one stood as tall as an adult and was covered head to toe in thorns and barbs, and just looking at them made one's skin crawl.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao did not charge straight in, after all so many people around were watching her, and there were no protective measures here yet; it was said the water in the pond could be several meters deep at its deepest point, not even counting the undercurrents.

Hmm

That's right, the pond here was living water, and right beside it flowed a stream coming down from the mountain; they wound down from the mountain and eventually all entered this pond.

After walking a circle around the not-small pond, Shen Yao found a small path that was passable enough to enter.

Her figure was quickly hidden by the surrounding weeds; people not far away saw Shen Yao acting so recklessly and sighed that there was actually someone actively throwing away their life.

"That place is dangerous; I heard someone still hasn't found their bones to this day."

"Tsk, what's that? Next door at the planting field there's a mutant fruit tree that likes to eat people, and the fruit on it has all been taken by the authorities."

"These days, who knows how long we can live; thinking becoming an ability user would make things better, heh."

"Life is just this hard to endure; other shelters aren't any better than here, just make do."

"No more talk, hurry up and rest; there's still work this afternoon, one day's work gets five special points, and we can get two meat dishes at the cafeteria when we go back!"

Shen Yao didn't know that after entering she would become a joke in some people's mouths; right now she was clearing the weeds around her bit by bit.

There was no other way; the weeds were too lush and dense, not only blocking her route to the edge of the pond but also shading the surrounding sunlight.

Inside it was pitch black and gloomy, water droplets fell on her from time to time; although Shen Yao had already set up a mental barrier around her, this environment made her frown.

After releasing her mental ability, it actively dealt with these weeds in the way; soon, centered on Shen Yao, some areas that looked quite dry were cleared around her.

Taking advantage of the convenience of clearing, Shen Yao discovered there was a secret in the weeds; she found a nest of mutant wild duck eggs.

Pale green patterns surrounded the duck eggs; duck eggs larger than a palm by a circle lay in the weed nest that had been surrounded.

Shen Yao lowered her head and counted them once, and while at it she did not forget to condense her mental ability into a net and collect all these wild duck eggs into her space.

As her mental ability changed from net-shaped to dot-shaped and spread outward, soon one piece of information after another appeared in Shen Yao's mind.

Like a puzzle appearing in her head, every missing piece of picture would be uploaded; as more and more pictures were uploaded, Shen Yao's mind soon showed the scene around the pond, including some more dangerous creatures, all concentrated at the edge of the pond.

Tsk

Was she lucky or unlucky? Behind her a mutant snake was about to reach her, and around were several nests of pale green wild duck eggs, but on the duck eggs lay not easy-to-provoke mutant animals; as for the wild ducks of these wild duck eggs, they probably had all run away clean, right?

She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead; Shen Yao didn't know what to say now; apparently this place was indeed quite dangerous, and without mental ability protection, she wouldn't have rashly thrown herself into danger alone.

She raised her hand to reclaim the dot-shaped mental ability, then kneaded them into chain shape, and next threw her mental ability toward a spot not far behind her; in a moment a dead snake corpse floated there, the snake several meters long, its thickest part bulging, obviously it had just had a full meal, which was why it hadn't attacked Shen Yao right away.

Shen Yao:...

She really ought to thank the unlucky one eaten by the mutant snake; otherwise she would be the victim right now.

Putting this dead snake corpse into her space, Shen Yao continued to use her mental ability against the surrounding mutant creatures; the wild duck eggs naturally all went into her space, while those posing little threat to her were released, and those posing a big threat were all dealt with and thrown into her space.

Shen Yao's space was very large, holding not a few mutant creatures; often their end was to fill the bellies of the four people at home; occasionally ones that couldn't be eaten were also dealt with harmlessly by Shen Yao, so although her space could hold a lot it never filled up, things inside came and went, always maintained within a certain range.

After using her mental ability to check the surroundings once more and confirm there was no danger, Shen Yao patted her hands and stepped forward.

Soon the edge of the pond appeared in Shen Yao's sight; the weeds around had already been dealt with by her mental ability in advance, and it even thoughtfully gave Shen Yao a place to enter the water; it was just that the pond's water level was quite high, and for Shen Yao, who absolutely could not swim, entering the water was still very dangerous.

There was a fishing net in her space; Shen Yao took it out and threw it into the pond with a not very skilled posture, back and forth several times, finally salvaging the fish Shen Chengyi had mentioned.

It was a small fish no bigger than a palm, pale greenish-blue, with sharp teeth all over its mouth.

This kind of small fish was very good-looking; Shen Yao took a fancy to the energy stone inside it at a glance.

Hmm

Calling it an energy stone wasn't right; it should be a solid kind of energy crystal, except these energy crystals, when condensed together, were round or oval, looking very much like small stones.

Why did Shen Yao say that? Because she gutted all the pale greenish-blue small fish she had salvaged, then used her mental ability to take out the energy stones inside; right now these few energy stones were rolling back and forth in Shen Yao's palm.

Shen Yao:...

At this time Shen Yao could be said to understand what Shen Chengyi meant by special; not to mention that the body of this pale greenish-blue small fish was rich in energy, just saying that the energy stone produced by this kind of pale greenish-blue small fish had a unique effect on mental ability was enough to make Shen Yao value it.

The energy stones in her palm soon disappeared, while the mental ability surrounding Shen Yao grew stronger by a bit; the visible effect confirmed it on herself, what was she waiting for? Keep salvaging.

Shen Yao started throwing the net into the pond without stop; the pale greenish-blue small fish inside were salvaged up, their corpses lying in her space waiting to be cooked when she went back; as for the dug-out energy stones, Shen Yao had put them in a small box in advance, and of course the box was put back into her space safely.

Soon the pale greenish-blue small fish in the fishing net visibly decreased by a lot; after all, although the pond area was large, the number of small fish was limited, and besides, Shen Yao only stood in one place salvaging; there would always be a time when she fished them clean.

Helpless, Shen Yao changed position; her mental ability was no longer used sparingly like before but with full force, just to salvage more pale greenish-blue small fish before working in the afternoon.

When she left the pond, the weeds at the edge of the pond had fallen haphazardly; Shen Yao had to stick these weeds back into their original positions to disguise it, so the scene before her eyes looked no different from before.

"Host, aren't you afraid others will come over?" Then instead it would expose her ability.

"Don't worry," Shen Yao smiled slightly; after completely leaving the pond she would act to stimulate those mutant creatures, making the originally lazy mutant creatures become active, accompanied by several unpleasant sounds.

System:...?!?!

If I remember correctly, those mutant creatures were ones the host actively chose to let go when she acted before, because they posed no threat.

Good fellow, so their use is here!

But doing this indeed had effect; the system looked again at the crowd already gathered not far away, thinking these people's guts were too small; the danger of the planting field wasn't just the pond side, but mainly the area around the planting field, where many unknown mutant creatures hid, and who knew when they would pop out and take a bite at the crowd.

Shen Yao didn't say anything to the system, but instead messed up her hair, and several not-long marks appeared on her clothes; the purpose was naturally to show her sorry state and the boldness of not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth; although she saved her life, she definitely wouldn't dare go near the edge of the pond recently.

Sure enough, as Shen Yao came back, after describing the danger at the edge of the pond, paired with her pitiful look, others, whether they had the mind or not, all gave up the idea of wandering around everywhere.

Only by living can one get benefits; who would want to rush to find death?

Shen Yao returned and found a spot to sit down, raised her hand to comb her messy hair back into order and tie it up, and simultaneously she also closed her eyes to check the harvest inside her space.

Mm.

Earlier when she was fishing she got too absorbed, going back and forth just watching the fishing nets she threw out and the small fish she hauled back, and by the time there were no more fish to haul she had to prepare to return.

Only now did Shen Yao have time to organize her space.

Looking at the pale green small fish already piled into a small heap, each and every one had become a gutted unlucky fish; the energy stones were placed at a position not far from the fish pile, because these extracted energy stones were not large, the small wooden box just fit them, and next to them were the pale green wild duck eggs, on top of which there were still obvious energy fluctuations and life breath — if she wanted to hatch them, they could still hatch mutant wild ducks.

Speaking of which, does the shelter have a breeding demand? Shen Yao took out her communication device, looked at the content on it, and decided that after returning she would take the duck eggs from her space and sell a few to exchange for special points; coming out of the pond she couldn't truly have zero harvest, and her persona still needed perfecting.

The afternoon's work was very trivial; Shen Yao just followed the morning's standard to farm, and after burying all the seeds she had obtained into the ground, Shen Yao watered the field, confirmed there was no problem, and only then returned to the tour bus to rest.

Taking advantage of the fact that not many people had boarded yet, Shen Yao sneakily (actually deliberately) took out two pale green wild duck eggs from her bosom.

Because the wild duck eggs were relatively large, Shen Yao had no particularly good hiding spot on her whole body; being able to take out two was already feasible, any more and she would give herself away.

"Aiya, is this something you picked up by the pond?" Someone saw Shen Yao's action and was very envious, after all not everyone has such good luck.

However two wild duck eggs are not a big deal either, at most they can exchange for a few special points; they were envious in their hearts, but letting them go try it themselves — that was absolutely impossible.

"Good luck, just went in and ran into wild duck eggs, but there are mutant creatures inside, I didn't dare take more, picked up two and hurriedly hid."

Shen Yao sighed as she recounted her adventure at the pond's edge; although what she described was all fake, the others did not think so, because ability users are not omnipotent either, those they cannot beat still cannot change the weak's mentality, people like Shen Yao — the shelter can grab a handful.

After hearing Shen Yao's description, the other people sitting in the bus all sighed that it was not easy.

The value of two wild duck eggs is not that great, at least it cannot compare to gambling with one's life; this is also why when Shen Yao came out from the pond's edge, the others all backed away.

Shen Yao smiled bitterly and shook her head, did not explain why she went to the pond, but this behavior of hers already proved from the side that every family has its own hardships; maybe her family needs these few special points, who among those who come out to work has no worries about food and drink at home, there must be hardships.

Shen Yao:...

Actually she didn't, it was just acting; she couldn't reveal everything, compared to the sympathy and pity cast by everyone, jealousy and envy are what make people afraid.

More and more people got on the tour bus, until the planting field mission was completely finished, and the bus was full of people who had come out, only then did the driver drive the car back to the shelter.

Shen Yao's seat was near the window side; turning her head she could see the scenery outside.

At this time the weather outside had already darkened considerably; the sun in the distance only had a little bit left; the tour bus traveled on the road looking gloomy, and even those with better hearing could hear howling sounds coming from not far away.

The planting field is near the shelter's range, but this does not mean it is definitely safe; just like the others in the bus said, the other few planting fields often have personnel casualties appear, some can be rescued back, some lose their lives on the spot and cannot be saved.

The planting field located on the west side is the farthest among the other three, its danger level still cannot compare to the south side and north side; the reason ultimately is because the west side has no forest, mutant creatures wanting to live well need large amounts of food sources, and the forest is the important place providing food.

Shen Yao seemed to hear some unusual sounds mixed in; although the danger level is relatively high, with the tour bus's current speed it is still considered safe.

The trip there took half an hour; the return trip was slightly faster.

When the tour bus stopped at the shelter's gate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison; no matter what, today counted as going out safely and returning safely, and they could also take advantage of the convenience of going to the planting field to buy the canteen's limited meals; everyone was extremely happy.

Shen Yao did not act uniquely, also followed the crowd to the canteen to buy limited meals, and by the way did not forget to sell both wild duck eggs she brought back to the official; the wild duck eggs' price is not low, especially the two Shen Yao found that are full of vitality — hatching them, whether used to lay eggs or used as dishes, is very cost-effective.
