The six coconut trees took up all the space of the six 1-cubic ter fields. Jing Shu had intended to plant so strawberries or whatever around them, but there simply was no room left. Jing Shu looked forward to their fruiting every day, but who would have expected that the trees would shoot up to 25 ters tall without producing any fruit.
Fortunately, in the Magic Cube Space, each 1-cubic ter field could be extended in all directions for crops to grow, but it could not be used for storage. Jing Shu’s Spiritual Body was obstructed outside the field, akin to a blind spot on a ga map that could not be seen or touched.
Jing Shu had been longing for coconut milk, yet she had never managed to get it right. anwhile, she had harvested corn several tis and planned to ’suddenly rember’ that she had collected so corn a few months ago, intending to use it for a live food show. Then she would drag out bags of corn from the basent, and making corn juice would be excellent.
Life’s like a play; it all depends on the acting.
Perhaps due to the high energy expenditure from killing, Jing Shu ate especially large nightti snacks. She had recently slaughtered a bunch of fish from the villa’s pond, preparing grilled fish, fried fish, and boiling fish.
After finishing off a pot of green pepper and white jade boiling fish fillets tonight, she thought it would be wasteful to throw away such good broth. So she added shrimp paste, beef balls, beef rolls, and such, and had a hotpot al... SLURP! Truly delicious.
While eating, Jing Shu also made a battle summary to learn from her mistakes and strive to do better.
Concerned about the many knife-wielding robbers today, she refrained from getting close and didn’t give them any ti to react. She used a massive boulder to kill them in one strike. While satisfying, it shattered one of her conical boulders, and shaping those was no easy task.
A seven to eight-ter range is too tight for boulders to be effective. If I’m that close next ti, I could control ten or more repeating crossbows from the space to fire simultaneously. For distances above fifteen ters, I’ll use boulders. And if I’m in danger but can’t reveal the secret of the space, I’ll resort to a gun.
After practicing in the Magic Cube Space for two hours, Jing Shu had made significant progress, becoming extrely proficient. Especially today, when an unexpected adrenaline rush got her excited, she entered a state of intense focus while practicing with the Magic Cube.
In a few months at most, I will upgrade to a 6th-level Magic Cube Space! When one becos proficient with the Magic Cube, there’s a sensation akin to being ready to give birth. As the books say, even if you don’t know how to kiss, when it actually happens, you’ll naturally know what to do; it’s all human instinct.
「The next day at 4 a.m.」
Fully ard Jing Shu, carrying a broken iron rod, along with her fat chicken, a female frog, over a hundred little frogs, their containers, and ropes, escorted Mrs. Jing to work.
The construction of the Artificial Sun began in Wu City yesterday, absorbing countless amounts of electricity and other resources. Thousands of workers were recruited, and it was said that a company-sized military unit was stationed for security.
From that day on, the salaries of all state-run enterprises in Wu City were halved, paid in rice, flour, water, and even vegetables. This policy was to be implented in all enterprises a month later, until the sunlight was restored.
This aroused envy, jealousy, and hatred among many people, causing dissatisfaction to spread.
Mr. Jing drove while Mrs. Jing cracked apricot kernels. Jing Shu sat in the back scrolling through posts, with the fat chicken quietly sitting at her feet, looking up at its owner pitifully. Every ti it dared to defecate in the car, it got a good beating, causing the poor thing, with its quick bowels, to always hold it in.
Just like in her previous life, yesterday, a group nad the ’Sky Covering Party,’ with over a hundred mbers ard with machetes and axes, robbed hundreds of households in Huasheng District. They slashed whoever they saw and looted whatever grains they found. So unimaginably evil individuals even killed pregnant won. They operated in groups of ten, breaking into hos to kill and loot before retreating swiftly.
With so few survivors to provide clues, and with the absence of surveillance caras, these criminals scattered after their heinous acts, significantly impeding the police’s efforts.
The most critical aspect was this organized, preditated large-scale massacre. Starting from five o’clock yesterday afternoon, the police had received hundreds of false reports, among which were several real massacres. These severely disrupted the police’s visibility and effectively delayed their response ti.
That person finally appeared again. Who would have thought that just one person could lead the whole country into an era of chaotic slaughter? Perhaps he was rely exploiting human nature?
In the following days, all sorts of bizarre organizations proclaiming the apocalypse sprung up across the country. It wouldn’t take long before the police, governnt, and laws would collapse as well.
Those who sought revenge against society, those who always wanted to kill but never dared, and those who had robbed before would beco completely unrestrained.
In a society that still has order, such things ideally shouldn’t happen.
Jing Shu learned of the triple conspiracy much later, after everybody else already knew about it.
Broadly speaking, Arica was unhappy with Huaxia. Arica was plagued by daily gunfights, sci-fi and robbery films, and an unstable society with one president succeeding another. Their popular protests were so vast they could have lined the Great Wall. Yet, everyone kept praising how great Huaxia was. So, they wondered: Why was Huaxia so stable and trouble-free?
Why, when Arica’s mortality rate reached 10%, was Huaxia’s only 5%? No, sothing had to be done about it.
They bribed many people and even recruited that mastermind, a Huaxia person, a young man who graduated from Yale University and beca their spy, stealing Huaxia’s information.
This month, he found many ’like-minded’ individuals disgruntled with society and drew up a detailed plan. He recruited many who had past offenses and those seeking thrills.
He planned to set an example for everyone, to commit a big cri like robbery or murder to set the pace: Look, we did it, and nothing happened. Why don’t you make a move?
This completely ignited the long-suppressed darkness in people’s hearts, making them act without any qualms in the future. Rumors spread online, causing panic and dragging more people into overthrowing the social system.
And so, there was this dark half-year that obliterated humanity’s conscience. Maybe it would have erupted without that person anyway.
Jing Shu sighed. Even though I’ve lived through it once and know so much, I can’t change anything. What that person manipulated was the human heart. All I can do is protect my own family and survive in the even more difficult conditions of the apocalypse.
Mrs. Jing imdiately got busy when she arrived at her workplace, while Jing Shu led the frogs through one greenhouse after another to catch insects. Minister Niu arrived in the morning with two busloads of leaders and their families.
It looked a bit like they had co for tourism; otherwise, why bring family mbers? Before Jing Shu could understand the situation, Minister Niu spoke first.
"Thank you for the support of all the families. Today, we brought everyone to see the vegetables in the Developnt Zone. In fifteen days, we will provide these vegetables to all official staff mbers of Wu City’s institutions. Please be assured that all these vegetables were grown by us."
"Oh, and did you see these frogs that eat insects? This is a pest control project contracted out by the Developnt Zone. If you need them, you can buy a couple of frogs to keep at ho. Ever since I got one, I haven’t seen a single insect."
