Chapter 248: The Meeting

[Basic Warehouse (Tendra Civilization)

-Function: 200 slots X99 same item capacity]

[Do you wish to consume 40 units of stone and 7 units of metal blocks to build the Basic Warehouse?]

Li Chunhua’s finger stopped an inch away from the ’yes’ option.

She browsed the other one first. Freeing another 2 pages won’t make a difference. If she calculates it, she would need at least 20 more of this warehouse.

(￣_,￣ )

[Basic Warehouse (+) (Custom)]

-Function: Ten 6-layer shelves, 500 slots X99 same item capacity

-Area: 100 square feet...]

"500 slots will free up 5 pages of my inventory but the problem is the materials..." One of them is quite very expensive. Li Chunhua frowned.

[-Necessary Materials: 2 Space-Attribute Ore, 100 stones, 40 metal blocks, 5 silver coin]

[Space-Attribute Ore- 4500 EP per 1 unit]

Hiss...

So expensive, probably because it was a rare attribute ore.

Actually, cultivators can create black technology space equipment better than the ones offered by the system but the main requirement is at least you need to be at Golden Core Stage and above. The materials on the other hand required must possess enough qi-induction ability.

At Golden Core Stage, the maximum capacity space equipment you can make is around 1 to 5 cubic meters. The space ring of Li Chunhua where she used to store all her food was given to her by her Master and its size was around 10 cubic meters.

He bestowed it to her after the discipleship ceremony.

The most wonderful thing was the time inside the space equipment made is still which means one doesn’t need to worry about the food rotting!

Well, it’s impossible for her to create items since her cultivate was still around Core Formation 6th level. She slacked a lot during the first week but if she managed to create them then...

(*^▽^*)

Li Chunhua threw her head back and laughed imagining her sleeping in a mountain of copper coins. Now with update, it would surely sell well! The system’s move was a good business opportunity. "Ha ha ha..."

"Good Old witch, are you fine?" Elga’s drowsiness vanished when she heard the strange laugh coming from Li Chunhua, who was standing outside the entrance of the warehouse. It’s so early in the morning and she’s already possessed.

Li Chunhua was startled, turned to her left only to find the pixie staring at her and giving her an odd look.

She hurriedly closed her mouth and cleared her throat. "Yes, I’m fine."

[You’ve received a message from your friend, Player Hua.]

[You’ve received a message from your friend, Player Green Thumb.]

[Player Hua]: Baozi, thank you so much for your trust. I will strive harder working for you. Please accept these as tokens of our gratitude.

[Player Green Thumb]: Baozi, please take it. I don’t know what kind of jade your wife specifically likes but if you pair it up beautiful flowers and a love letter, then that would work. That’s how I manage to get to my deceased wife to agree dating me.

(￣_￣|||)

Li Chunhua: "..." What is Green Thumb implying? Come to think of it, every time when jade gets involved, the players would always mentioned about her being in a relationship.

Towards rumors, as long it doesn’t hurt her and don’t disrupt her eating lifestyle, it’s better to ignore it.

Anyways, she never expected to receive the jades from them.

Li Chunhua examined the jades on her palm. The color was richer than the ones she bought from the other players.

Her eyes shone. She could tell right away that it was the highest quality. Are these two some jade moguls?

But it was weird...

The two sent her the same jades.

Li Chunhua inspected the jades more closely and tried to insert her qi and the jade without the use of her guiding absorb it. She raised the amount she input and the jades had no qualms swallowing it.

She messaged the two and when the other side said it was from the Earth Points Shop, she searched for it and found it in the last pages around 200 of the [Other Items] section and they were cheap.

If the two didn’t informed her, she would missed it.

The system is really good at making business.

A smile bloomed on the little dumpling’s lips.

The Heavens were really helping her!

He he he....

Now she just needed to reach Golden Core Stage and with the blueprint of the space pouch as a guide, she can make a higher quality space gear!

And if that happens, Chef Long can carry fresh ingredients wherever he goes!

And another money!

He he he...

"Good Old Witch, are you really fine?" Elga stepped forwards because Li Chunhua’s smile was disturbing as if she was about to screw someone.

Li Chunhua coughed and calmed herself down. "Yes." She went back to the main residence in a hurried manner.

---

A few minutes before 8 in the morning, all the residents gathered in the large space. They laid wooden planks for everyone to sit on.

Xiang’er freshly bathed and dressed in a new clothes occupied the space next to Bai Susu. Conrad and the three others were still asleep inside the men’s hut. "What are you going to talk about?" She whispered in Bai Susu’s ears.

Bai Susu replied, "The system updates."

"Oh." Xiang’er murmured and her eyes caught a glimpse of four figures, the landowner, a cute small child with long golden hair tied into pigtails, an aesthetically beautiful tall elf with pointed ears, but what got her attention the most was the man walking beside the landowner.

The man seemed to sense her stare. He reciprocated her glance and when her eyes saw the pair of blue orbs that seemed to penetrate her soul, Xiang’er quickly looked elsewhere with a blush.

She asked Bai Susu the name of the man using a hushed voice.

Bai Susu covered her smile and replied, "I only heard the Landowner call him Chef Long. Why? Do you like him?"

"What are you..." The blush on her face reddened but Xiang’er swallowed the rest of her words after she saw something from the corner of her eyes.

The man named Chef Long patted the wooden plank with his hand to clean away any dirt before spreading a piece of cloth on it.

He looked up and said something to landowner which Xiang’er couldn’t hear, but the momentary emotion in the man’s eyes when he gazed at the landowner sobered up Xiang’er.

"Hey Xiang’er..."Bai Susu called her and Xiang’er after a few seconds of adjusting her thoughts smiled, "What is it?"

"You were spacing out and didn’t hear my call. So what? Do you like Chef Long?" Girls at Bai Susu’s age always like to tease each other in regards to this matter.

However Xiang’er shook her head. "No. I thought he just looked like someone I knew but I was mistaken." She was not a blind fool. She can tell that she already lose in the starting line.

"My bad. I’m sorry." Bai Susu apologized.

"It’s alright." Xiang’er smiled making Bai Susu feel a lot better.

Siri and Long Haoran finished turning 25% of the vegetable into pickles and will continue the rest after and joined the meeting at exactly 8.

Elga sitting beside her Master yawned.

"Chef Long, next time, let me clean my own seat. Did you forget my deep cleaning skill? It’s 100% dust and dirt free, proven and tested." Li Chunhua sat and leaned closer in Long Haoran’s ears, unintentionally promoting her cleaning services.

Because he was in front of many people, Long Haoran put on a calm façade but the tip of ears betrayed his true feelings. "I forgot."

Xiang’er noticed it and didn’t look at the two’s direction anymore.

Li Chunhua observed the poor setting of the meeting place and suddenly felt guilt.

She must prioritize to build a place for gathering.

As a landowner so focused on the defense facilities, she failed to consider this aspect. Baozi, you have still a lot to learn. Li Chunhua scolded herself.

The very first agenda of the meeting was the rewards for last night.

Because it was promised that the Landowner would give points based on the performance, everyone was excited.

Bit when they thought everyone would only get points, the landowner did something that made everyone happy.

Everyone except Xiang’er received a notification.

[Congratulations! You are now an official resident of the Salted Fish territory!]

"Landowner? What is the meaning of this? Is this for real?" All the people’s eyes landed on Li Chunhua and the expression on their faces was that of joy.

An official resident!

Li Chunhua was glad their reactions after gaining residency status were positive, "I saw your dedication for the territory in past few days and your efforts in helping me defend the tide, and so I decided to give this reward."

Xiang’er was initially wondering what the people were happy about but after the Baozi explained it, she understood and was happy for them.

Everyone was touched and thanked Li Chunhua.

After the residency notification, they received another one.

[Your territory placed 1st on the weekly tide and you gained temporary buff of 5% increase in every stats.]

A 5% increase?

Each of their basic stat instantly increased by 2-4 points.

This is too good!

And apart from the official resident status, Li Chunhua also said, "Each of you can redeem 20-bronze quality, 2 silver-quality gears and 20 kilograms of food later in the warehouse."

"Really Landowner?"

Li Chunhua nodded before reassuring Chef Long that he also have his share.

Long Haoran nodded.

The newly promoted Salted Fishes were smiling from ear to ear.

The second agenda was about the expiration of the food and the inventory slots. A table appeared at the center of the gathering crowd. Siri and Long Haoran placed the pickle and jams and shared some ways to preserve the food longer.

In addition a cold storage unit will be built later.

The players and natives were less worried for the food now.

The Aunties were inspired and also shared some tips. Long Haoran gladly listened and ended up taking notes in his mind.

Li Chunhua also mentioned about the space pouch but the premise of such was for the Aunties to upgrade up their Tailoring Skill to Level 3.

The Aunties reassured everyone that will try their best to achieve it within this week.

Afterwards Li Chunhua also wanted to establish a personal army and patrol group that would take shift in surveying the area around the mountain. Points will be awarded and a weekly salary too.

And after she said that, in her utter surprise all combat units applied, despite knowing the progress of their leveling would be affected.

"Landowner, you count on us!" Cui spoke for the rest and everyone nodded including Xiang’er.

Long Haoran lifted the corner of his lips. With this development, Xiao Hua wouldn’t be tired anymore.

Li Chunhua and Siri were also delighted and quickly decided on shifts. The Elf written down everyone’s name and the time.

The rest of the meeting was centered on the merging, recruiting residents and the making of the detailed maps. Because the last one was the highest of difficulty, Li Chunhua was in charged of it.

Long Haoran’s breath tickled her ears, "I’ll go with you."

Having Chef Long by her side always means there are snacks, Li Chunhua would not refuse his help. "Sure."

The meeting continued for another 30 minutes before Li Chunhua dismissed everyone. With the Elf and Chef Long following her, they walked towards the summoning platform.

Li Chunhua: Ancestor! Please give me a blacksmith!
