The next morning, Diamond opened her eyes groggily before rubbing them as she yawned.
She had slept the previous night, and the sleepiness was getting to her.
After watching Nancy settle the furniture in her apartnt, Diamond and Nancy returned to the villa a bit later.
After having supper, Diamond was forced to entertain the girls as she listened to how they were coping at the foundation.
Their experience was literally funny. In the end, Diamond retired to her bedroom around eleven at night.
Instead of going to sleep directly, she began to look into the buildings she had previously purchased before going to Dielas.
Last ti she wanted to open a shop and sell the beauty cream that she had in possession. As a result, she purchased two buildings and, on top of that, a villa in a wonderful neighborhood.
But her trip to Dielas made her set aside those three projects. And now that she was back, and also registered several companies, Diamond felt that she didn’t have ti to sleep and be lazy.
Instead, she should work hard and see which way she should go forward.
So, she spent two hours or so looking into the renovations that she would want those three buildings of hers to have.
But she mostly spent her ti in the villa. Since that villa was her other ho, Diamond felt that she should put more effort into it.
Before she wanted to rent it out, but after thinking for a while, she decided to keep it to herself.
It wouldn’t hurt to sleep there once in a while as she makes a few friends.
So, when she woke up the next morning, she was still drowsy. However, she didn’t have a choice. She had to visit the farm and et Cain and see what more good things the farm could do for the season.
Despite her unwillingness to wake up, Diamond had instilled in herself a rigorous schedule. So, she washed her face, brushed her face and changed into her exercising gear before going for a morning jog.
After exercising, she washed up and changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt with so sneakers before heading downstairs where she ate breakfast with everyone.
After breakfast, Diamond took Nancy out and left her at Greenbay apartnts, where the other would be busy putting her place in order first before she started working officially.
After dropping Nancy off, Diamond started driving towards the farm. She turned on the radio and listened to it as she went.
[Ding! Do you want to sign in?]
’Sign in!’
[Ding! You have been rewarded with a red tea recipe.]
Diamond was puzzled when she heard the reward. What the heck was this red tea?
’System, what’s this red tea?’ Diamond asked though she was sure that the system wouldn’t give her any descriptions as it always does.
[It’s a tea that is useful for won who have nstrual pain (dysnorrhea) problems.]
However, it seed that she was dood to be proved wrong. Did the system just respond to her?
Upon seeing that, Diamond was so excited that she asked the system another question again before it vanished. Who knows what kind of temper it had?
’Is it only good for dysnorrhea only? Can it only relieve the pain and not uproot the cause of the problem?’
Diamond was exceptionally curious about that problem. She used to have severe dysnorrhea before, but after taking the water pill and having her body detoxified, that problem completely vanished.
However, she understood how painful that problem was for a woman and she felt sorry for others. And now that she had been given sothing useful to the ladies, she wanted to know more before she was too happy only to be disappointed in a while.
[It’s only a pain reliever.]
After saying that, the system went offline.
Diamond was a bit disappointed after hearing that, but shortly happiness overwheld her.
Getting relief was also better than getting nothing. So why beco ungrateful instead of being thankful for the grace that was bestowed on her?
’Thanks.’
She said inwardly, though she knew that she wouldn’t be receiving any response in return.
Diamond was very happy about this recipe. Now she had two recipes at hand. Her company might start on a good note whenever it opens. And that excitent brought her into a good mood.
As she drove closer to the farm, Diamond suddenly recalled another skill of hers that she was rewarded a few days ago. She had never used it and was now curious about the wonderful things that it was capable of.
So, she called out for the skill in her mind.
’Use the random prediction news skill now!’
She was curious as to what the news would be. Would she get so lotto numbers, maybe get so insights on a good stock to invest in or sothing like that?
Diamond was simply curious and couldn’t wait to find out.
Shortly after instructing that. A virtual screen suddenly appeared in front of her, shocking the heck out of her.
Luckily, she was the only one on the road, otherwise an accident might have happened.
Diamond didn’t rush to read the contents as that would distract her from driving, so she called out for her reliable personal assistant and favorite child.
"Andrea, can you take over for ? I need to check sothing."
After saying that, Andrea, who was keeping a low profile since the mont she woke up, sounded, [Sure.]
After agreeing to her, Diamond let the steering wheel go and Andrea, as promised, took over.
Diamond took out her phone and pretended to be browsing sothing on it. At that ti, she was busy looking at the virtual screen that had erged with the phone screen.
[Date: 28.01.2***
The governnt is not talking about it, but everyone seems to be worried about what is currently happening right now. Prices are increasing crazily and there is nothing that people can do about it. The drought seems to have hit people hard, and it is advisable for people who had not listened to the rumors spread in December to start hoarding. Otherwise, I have seen a lot of people starving. Let’s work together to ....]
The more she read the article, the colder Diamond got.
A drought! Did this an that the rain didn’t end up falling as she hoped?
Did that also an that prices were going to increase and make things difficult for everyone?
Diamond felt fear for the first ti.
When was the last ti that a drought hit Athary?
Although the article was released by an online news company, Diamond wasn’t one to dismiss easily what she had just read.
It was too hot, and the skies were so clear. She had thought about a drought at so point but didn’t want to jinx it. And now, seeing that the case might be true, she didn’t know how to react.
A lot of black-bellied rchants will be using the drought to earn money from money and at the thought of such manipulation, Diamond began to feel sick.
’I need to do sothing about this!’ she decided as conviction spread across her face.
She didn’t know about a lot of things, but when it cos to food, perhaps Cain would be knowledgeable.
She owns twenty hectares of land and roughly a quarter was being used. She didn’t believe that she would be able to use the other land to produce sothing that might help others in the coming year.
After reading that news, she was no longer in the mood to drive, so she just allowed Andrea to drive her to the farm.
When she arrived, the gate was opened, as another car had just driven through into the farm.
That was normal. So custors preferred to visit the farm in person to collect their goods, and Diamond was happy to see that.
Diamond watched as Andrea parked in front of the farmhouse before she picked up everything she wanted and got out of the car.
Cain wasn’t there to welco her, but she could spot him rushing towards her.
It seed that his obsession with the newly tilled land was still there and, seeing him like that, Diamond couldn’t wait to get her hands on another bottle of soil fertilizer.
She could see the green on that stretch of land so vividly and without seeing even closer, she could tell that the plants were going well, and that was sothing that she wanted to see.
Especially after confirming that next year won’t be a good one.
A drought wouldn’t just affect a single year, but nearly two years in total. Since they couldn’t rely on the rains for this year, it ant that they needed to wait until next year for the rain to fall.
Even if it falls, they could only eat the harvest the other year. So, what would they be doing in these two years?
Diamond’s worry increased as she thought about that.
