Chapter 82: The '60s Farm System (Chapter Concluded)

The mountain delicacies brought along were all sold out, and the two main tasks for this trip to Pingcheng were also successfully completed.

With three more days left to stay in Pingcheng, Xie Yang began to enjoy the joy of shopping.

Shopping is inherently joyful, and shopping without worrying about money is double the joy.

It doesn't matter if you lack coupons; go for a spin at the black market, and as long as you are generous with your money, you can get any coupon you need.

Just like this, Xie Yang strolled leisurely through the streets of Pingcheng every day.

The Supply and Marketing Cooperative has new stock? Go in and take a look! Buy whatever you like!

The department store opened a new counter? Go in and browse! Buy it if you're interested!

A time-honored restaurant has reopened? Go in and have a taste! While you're at it, pick a few signature dishes to pack up and take back for Aunt's family to try as well!

On the final day, she had a sudden whim to visit the largest Recycling Station in Pingcheng, but while passing Pingcheng Normal University, her path was blocked by a slender figure.

"Xie Yang!"

"... Zhao Wanqing?"

After many years, meeting Zhao Wanqing in Pingcheng was something Xie Yang had not expected.

Zhao Wanqing looked her over with a complex expression.

So many years have passed, why hasn't Xie Yang changed at all? It allowed her to recognize her at a single glance.

No! If one really had to speak of changes, there were some: she was even fairer and more beautiful than in her memory, and her figure was better too.

Looking again at the clothes and pants she wore, there wasn't a single patch, and although her shoes were cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, they weren't frayed or old, which showed she had been living quite well all these years.

Unlike herself...

Zhao Wanqing shook her head, unwilling to recall the hardships she had endured at Hongqi Brigade over these years.

Regardless of anything else, she had returned to the city!

It was worth her rebirth; in this life, she had successfully been admitted to university as she wished, and from now on, she would be a normal student receiving a subsidy!

Not knowing what she thought of, she suddenly took a big step forward, leaned close to Xie Yang, and lowered her voice: "You bound a magical system called Super Farm, right?"

"Don't be in such a hurry to deny it! That year when saving Xu Shengnan and the others, the system that was originally bound to me suddenly disappeared. It either found you, or it found Xu Shengnan or her niece, but I have been observing them at Hongqi Brigade all these years and didn't see anything strange. But you..."

Speaking up to here, she glanced at Xie Yang with profound meaning:

"I saw the news published in the newspaper. You cultivated rice seeds with a yield of a thousand catties per mu at Yuewan Brigade. That was actually borrowing the Black Soil in the Farm Space, right? Black Soil can make crops high-yielding."

The year before last, when she went to the Recycling Station to buy expired newspapers for kindling, she inadvertently saw a news report in the paper about an Educated Youth at Yuewan Brigade who had cultivated rice seeds with a yield of a thousand catties per mu.

She wrote to ask Yang Qingqing, and from Yang Qingqing's mouth, she learned about the things Xie Yang had accomplished at Yuewan Brigade during those years—

"The cultivator of thousand-catty-per-mu rice seeds";

"The hardworking and uncomplaining Advanced Laborer";

"The practitioner who turned a place of ill omen into a treasure mountain"...

With multiple honorary titles bestowed upon her, Xie Yang had been named a Youth Model Worker and Advanced Educated Youth of Chuan Nan for several consecutive years.

Zhao Wanqing didn't care about the others; she only cared about who the magical system that had originally bound her had ended up binding.

These years, she had been like a madman, keeping her eyes on Xu Shengnan and her niece.

In the end, the Xie Yang she had ignored was the true winner!

"Ha!" Seeing Xie Yang looking at her as if she were a fool, Zhao Wanqing suddenly burst into laughter, "Haha! Hahaha—not admitting it? That's true! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't admit it either! But you can't fool me! Everything you have possessed all these years is the system helping you!"

As she laughed, she began to cry again: "Why! What did I do wrong! Why did it have to leave me! And why did it choose you! This world is too unfair to me!"

"Honk honk—"

"Honk honk—"

At this moment, a trolleybus passing by the entrance of the Normal University suddenly lost control, veered off its tracks, and sped toward the direction where the two were standing.

The driver desperately stepped on the brakes and honked the horn.

The passengers on the bus were in a panic; some fell over, and some hit their heads against the handrails or window glass.

"What's wrong! What's wrong with the bus?"

"Mom—Mom, you're bleeding! Niuniu is scared—"

"Driver, hit the brakes! Hurry and hit the brakes!"

Did the driver not hit the brakes?

It was that hitting them was useless!

Zhao Wanqing was so scared that she hurriedly dodged to the side of the road.

Xie Yang, however, turned and faced the speeding, out-of-control trolleybus.

"Screech—"

After a very piercing sound of braking, the trolleybus was finally forced to a stop.

The passengers and the driver ran off the bus one after another.

When they got off, they saw that in front of the bus, a young female comrade had used her physical body to hold back the bus with all her might, saving a busload of people, and she, had already lost her breath...

Everyone present began to sob and cry.

"She sacrificed herself to save us..."

"Whose child is this? She is so heroic!"

"Comrade! Thank you! We will remember you forever! Remember this day!"

Zhao Wanqing sat paralyzed on the ground, looking at this scene, still in shock, unable to believe it was real.

A few days ago, when she received the admission notice from Pingcheng Normal University, she was still thinking about how to bring up the matter of the system if she met Xie Yang in Pingcheng.

A few minutes ago, she had indeed met Xie Yang, and before she had decided whether to expose the fact that Xie Yang had bound the system to the outside world or use this point to make Xie Yang fund her, the result was that before she could even propose the conditions, Xie Yang was dead!

She actually died!

Right!

What about the Main System?

If Xie Yang dies, will the Main System unbind from her?

"System!"

"System!"

Zhao Wanqing looked up at the sky, shouting one cry after another, as if she had gone mad.

At this moment, a light, drizzling rain began to fall from the sky.

The siren of an ambulance could be heard in the distance.

Many people were crying, and some were shouting.

【Host, are you willing to leave just like this?】

Xie Yang looked at her own transparent Original Soul and shrugged: "Leaving at this time is the most appropriate."

With her strength, holding back a tram capable of holding forty or fifty people would certainly exhaust her, but it wouldn't go so far as to cost her her life.

It was just that Zhao Wanqing's appearance made her change her mind on the spot, deciding to depart from this plane ahead of schedule.

【Wuu wuu... although I haven't had enough of the thrill of leveling up, Host, you are truly so great! After I return to the factory, I will strive to preserve the data of the Farm Space. Host, you must choose me as your lifelong partner when the time comes! Take me to continue leveling up and continue to soar! Love you! Mwah!】

"..."

As the Super Farm System was bundled up and tossed back to the Main Star for repairs, Xie Yang's Task in this plane could be considered to have come to an end.

The only regret was not having the time to say goodbye to the friends and family of this plane.

But there is always a time for gathering and parting; if not today, it would be tomorrow or the day after.

The Yuewan Brigade has the cultivation insights and farming notes she recorded with care over these years; she thinks that after she is gone, by following the insights and notes she left behind, they will still be able to produce ecological fertilizer from fertile soil and continue to cultivate the rice seeds that yield a thousand jin per mu.

As for her other friends and family, with the Reform and Opening-up, their lives will also get better and better.

As for herself, before meeting Zhao Wanqing, she topped up one thousand yuan into the System Mall to pay off the debt she owed in the "Limited Time Purchase" column.

The moment she met the bus, she also topped up the remaining money and coupons she had on her into the System Mall.

Leaving them on her person might just benefit Yu Huizhu, so it was better to top them up into the System Mall as a tip for the Main System.

If she could coax it into being happy and have it waive that debt of 9999 points for the Collection Illustrated Handbook, it could be considered making the best use of everything.

【Ding! A new Task world has been opened, please prepare yourself, Host!】
