The Country Maiden: Fields and Leisure
Chapter 439: Reward

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Reward

Outside, who doesn’t know that the Wang Family is on the rise now? The mountain goods business is linked to every family, and offending Old Granny Zhang could very well lead to depreciation in both quality and price of their own mountain goods.

It’s all about the shiny silver.

Who would willingly cross paths negatively with silver?

Therefore, everyone greets Old Granny Zhang with a smile on their face.

Even the former arch-enemies, upon seeing Old Granny Zhang, didn’t wait for her to speak before a group of people stepped in to shoo away the offender with a barrage of insults.

Life can be so lonely; with nowhere to utilize her talents, Old Granny Zhang truly felt the bitterness of restraint.

Now, hearing that someone in town had bullied her dear daughter and son-in-law, ah, she had finally found a target, and was determined to test her mettle anew.

Seeing that her daughter did not refuse and even appeared hesitant, Old Granny Zhang knew that her daughter must also be harboring some resentment.

So she said right away, "Then it’s settled. I’ll go and ask Chongjin some questions."

Saying this, she excitedly went out.

Wang Yongzhu was speechless for a long while before she couldn’t help but let out a suppressed laugh.

Shaking her head, she figured Old Granny Zhang was off to inquire Song Chongjin about Hunter Qin and Shopkeeper Zhang’s circumstances, preparing to use that information for tomorrow’s scolding match.

She decided not to disturb her and instead took the opportunity to see what kind of great gift package Xiao Tiantian could come up with after this upgrade.

Closing the door, Wang Yongzhu lay on the bed and summoned Xiao Tiantian: "Come out, let me see what’s different about you after the upgrade?"

In her mind, the System panel opened, looking not very different from before.

Host status currently:

Clothing: Level 4, 0 Points

Food: Level 4, 0 Points

Housing: Level 4, 0 Points

Transportation: Level 4, 0 Points

Available Points: 67 (Points can be freely allocated to the above options)

"Host, last time you chose to combine six tasks and receive the rewards together, do you wish to claim them now?" Xiao Tiantian’s voice rang out.

"Now that you’ve upgraded, will the rewards be upgraded as well?" Wang Yongzhu was somewhat interested.

"Of course, host. Now I’m truly deserving of the title of the Farming System. With the new upgrade, my System store has also gained quite a few new items. Purchasing and exchanging them now comes with a ten percent discount––" Xiao Tiantian spoke with pride.

Wang Yongzhu casually browsed through the store, then a thought struck her, "Find me something, do you have any drugs similar to the poison Song Chongjin took?"

Xiao Tiantian didn’t speak, but promptly searched out a bunch of drugs and toxins that were hard to distinguish from each other.

Among the top few items were a kind of pill, a kind of powder, and directly, a plant.

Wang Yongzhu clicked on the powder, and the screen displayed its name: Plant Neurotoxin, a brown, tasteless powder. It can penetrate into the body through contact with human skin, causing random degrees of nerve damage.

For instance: deafness, blindness, stroke, and other symptoms...

That’s the one.

Exchanging points required only two Points, and that would get her 500 grams, plus a dozen plastic gloves that would protect against the pesticide powder.

Wang Yongzhu quickly exchanged for the pesticide powder, and soon, a large glass bottle and a packet of plastic gloves appeared in the System’s inventory.

After storing the glass bottle and gloves into the storage box, Wang Yongzhu then said, "Now, let’s collect the rewards."

"Okay!" Xiao Tiantian responded briskly, the screen shimmered with golden light, and fireworks burst in all directions, the scene bustling with excitement before a resplendent treasure chest fell from the sky, landing with a clang right in front of Wang Yongzhu.

"How is it, host? This visual, this atmosphere, isn’t it just perfect for receiving awards?" Xiao Tiantian said, showing off.

Wang Yongzhu chuckled coldly, "So, after leveling up to 4, you’ve leveled up to these fancy but useless features?"

Xiao Tiantian thought to itself that this host was really hard to please, totally lacking in romance.

As the treasure chest opened, a row of shimmering golden characters appeared: Seed Selection and Cultivation Laboratory.

Wang Yongzhu’s eyes lit up.

Then she heard Xiao Tiantian’s astonished tone, "Host, you actually got this, you’ve struck it rich! This is the highest reward in the level 4 System. It’s your golden finger for reaching the pinnacle of farming, your amulet, your ship cutting through the waves..."

The next five hundred words of praise were automatically ignored by Wang Yongzhu.

With a gentle touch, the tiny house inside the treasure chest that looked like a model quickly transformed into a large laboratory, its cleanliness and cold detached feel characteristically that of a scientific lab.

The doors of the laboratory were wide open, and Wang Yongzhu saw some familiar laboratory equipment, and though she did not recognize most of it, a few pieces were familiar.

She was suddenly filled with excitement.

"Xiao Tiantian, explain this laboratory to me."

"The Seed Selection and Cultivation Laboratory, as the name implies, can detect and cultivate seeds of all plants. With this laboratory, as long as you grow something, you can always pick the best seeds from here..."

Without needing further explanations, Wang Yongzhu understood.

This really was the golden finger for farming; with this, achieving a high yield per acre wasn’t a dream!

Of all the rewards she had received for completing tasks up to now, only this laboratory and that storage box had satisfied Wang Yongzhu.

"Host, are you satisfied? Many hosts dream of getting this lab but never do, you’re seriously lucky. Host, if you keep up this progress, completing the ultimate task isn’t a dream~~" Xiao Tiantian overflowed with confidence.

"Enough, I get it, knell in peace!" Wang Yongzhu played the relentless card beautifully.

Exiting the System, she blocked out Xiao Tiantian, whose mind was flooded with accusations of her being heartless, cold, and unreasonable.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Wang Yonggui with a few kids huddled around the house where Song Chongjin was now living, pretending to work but actually eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

Wang Yongzhu coughed, and when Wang Yonggui and the kids twisted their heads to see her, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Wang Yonggui approached with a smile, "Little sister, I heard from mom that she wants me to drive into town tomorrow to settle some accounts. Were you bullied in town today? Just tell Third Brother, I’m not boasting, but I still have some influence in town. I’ll help you get back your dignity!"

Wang Yongzhu wanted to facepalm, seeing Wang Yonggui’s eagerness to blow things out of proportion, she just gave him a look and casually flexed her wrist.

Wang Yonggui quickly backed off a step, "Oh, little sister, I just remembered that I have to teach Jindou and the others some stuff, I’ll head off first, off I go..."

Suddenly, the courtyard was clear of people.

Wang Yongzhu pushed open the door to find Song Chongjin lying on the kang and Old Granny Zhang sitting on a chair, her face livid with anger.

Seeing Wang Yongzhu come in, Old Granny Zhang’s rage subsided a bit, and she couldn’t help saying, "Don’t say anything, first thing tomorrow morning, I’ll take you to claim back our dignity. They underestimate my daughter and son-in-law; I’ll show them tomorrow just how formidable a country woman can be!"
