Chapter 223: Chapter 96: Baby Ke’s Latest Trick Shocks All Players! Player: Damn! Report him for malicious freebies!_3

"Shh, don’t tell my sister, but my house is about to be upgraded. Once it’s done, I’ll be living in my mansion, and she’ll be right next door in her shabby little hut. With just a push of the door, she can see my big villa, which will give her a little nouveau riche shock! Hahaha!"

While laughing, he suddenly couldn’t laugh anymore.

Because he had finally dashed towards NPC Robin to choose the house he wanted to upgrade, and all the materials like wood and stone were ready.

Just when he submitted the application.

Suddenly, a dialogue box popped up.

[You do not have enough Gold Coins]

"What??"

Zhuangzhuang was startled and subconsciously looked at the number of Gold Coins displayed in the top right corner of the screen.

Gold Coins.

Yet, upgrading to a large house with a kitchen required twenty thousand Gold Coins.

Zhuangzhuang, with a dumbfounded expression, scratched his head and then asked through voice chat, "Sis, where are the twenty thousand bucks I just saved?"

"I preached, didn’t I? And you said you didn’t have any money." Nu Liu closed the system settings without any expression on her face.

She had glanced over the settings a moment ago, prompted by a reminder from the barrage.

Sure enough, she found a setting that could be modified within the multiplayer options.

[Enable Economic Sharing?]

This option is turned off by default. When turned off, each player enjoys their own Gold Coins separately.

However, when it is turned on, the players’ money is pooled together.

It seems that Zhuangzhuang, during the time he was guarding the house, had been tossing all the ripe crops into his own recycling box, keeping all the profits firmly under his control.

Nu Liu, after discovering Zhuangzhuang’s sneaky moves, just before he was about to buy a house, went all-in and bought more than two hundred pieces of copper ore, plus over a hundred pieces of iron ore.

She personally crushed Zhuangzhuang’s dream of buying a house.

At this moment, the contrasting expressions of the dumbfounded Zhuangzhuang and the snickering Nu Liu couldn’t have been more different.

The barrage in the live broadcast room also exploded!

"Hahahaha! This game is too much fun, playing like this?"

"Zhuangzhuang’s CPU is overheating and still can’t figure out what’s going on, thinking it’s a BUG. He’s currently contacting the top player’s game customer service, insisting on getting an explanation, it’s killing me!"

"Zhuangzhuang: I—... How easy do you think it is for me to embezzle a bit of cash!"

"Fast-forward to 50 years later and go straight to the hospital to pull the plug."

"It’s all about undermining each other within the family, keeps it interesting."

While the barrage was having a blast, Nu Liu briefly explained the situation to Zhuangzhuang and even dangled a big carrot in front of him.

"Work hard for this period, clear out your stamina by 2 a.m. every night before sleeping, and wake up promptly at 6 a.m. Once the community is fully repaired, sis will help you renovate a luxurious two-story cottage with a cellar!"

Zhuangzhuang, who hadn’t been playing long, didn’t know how long it would take to repair the community and nodded happily.

But the audience who had been following along with Nu Liu knew better and teased him all the same.

"Isn’t that just biting off a big piece of pie without a drop of water to wash it down?"

"Capitalists watching 66’s live stream should introspect thrice daily, reviewing their shortcomings."

The sidetrack quickly turned over a new leaf.

The combined Strength of the two was significant. Previously, Nu Liu had to farm, water, occasionally log and mine, plus fish to make ends meet, and schedule regular gifts for the NPCs in the town.

She was almost too busy to fly.

With Zhuangzhuang joining in, he took a lot of work off her hands, and everything slowly started to normalize. The game’s progress was advancing rapidly.

The unlocking of more and more new items also provided the audience with a comfortable viewing experience.

By the first day of summer’s arrival.

The small, dilapidated farmhouse they first saw had been renovated into two large houses.

Pushing open the door, the fields once filled with weeds had been cultivated into a large expanse of fertile soil.

Twenty groups of sprinklers tirelessly sprayed water droplets, which sparkled translucently under the sunlight, nourishing the crops on the eighty plots that were on the verge of blooming.

Besides that, the tools of the siblings had been upgraded from ordinary farming implements to all-steel ones.

The hoe that could only till one plot at a time could now till five in a straight line with one charge, effectively quintupling efficiency!

Chopping trees, which initially took fifteen swings to collect the wood, had been reduced to just nine swings with a steel axe.

The other tools were also upgraded.

Not far from the front door, a row of wooden storage chests was neatly arrayed.

The chests were meticulously divided into categories and labeled accordingly.

There was one specifically for crops; upon opening, it was packed full with leftover crops from spring.

Cauliflower, green onion, peas, kale, potatoes, and more that could be cooked in the upgraded kitchen to make dishes like cheesy cauliflower, salmon dinner, spicy bean hotpot, Italian-style fern stew, and other stamina-boosting delicacies.

There was also a chest brimming with surplus fish.

Another one held stones, wood, and other materials for construction purposes.

And a half-filled chest of rare ores.

As well as a box of miscellaneous items that were not immediately needed but were saved for future use, which was also filled to the brim.

Beyond that, progress in the community aspects also grew steadily.

All these visible improvements provided great satisfaction to the viewers.

"Alright, it’s getting late today, let’s check it out tomorrow and continue the stream then."
