Quick Wear: Even big guys have to work hard

"Ding! Congratulations, the Farmland System has been upgraded..."

"Ding! Congratulations, the Merit Stele has been upgraded..."

Mi Shishi and 074 happily checked the system together.

With the promotion of the tofu recipe, the Farmland System and the Merit Monument have finally been upgraded!

"Ding, you have a video call request. Do you want to accept?"

All that could be seen on the monument was the record of merit.

A button is flashing.

"take over!"

Mi Shishi thought, it must have been sent by the original owner of this body. She wondered how the original owner was doing in the apocalypse.

An image appeared on the monument of merit, and out appeared a man in ancient costume with flowing white robes!

Huh?

Could it be that the original owner was a man in his previous life?

An ancient version of the apocalypse?

"Hello!"

The man greeted him with a smile, and a familiar spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from him.

It's him!

"Shen Linyu?"

Mi Shishi asked in surprise, "How did he manage to contact her through the merit monument?"

"It's me. Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Min Yu. How's the Rural System going?"

After Min Yu finished his introduction, he asked a question.

"That's great, thank you! My name is Mi Shishi. How did you manage to contact me through the merit monument?"

Shouldn't we be using the friend function in the rural system?

"A monument of merit? Let me see."

Min Yu was somewhat puzzled.

Mi Shishi shared the Merit Monument function with him, and this guy has automatically become a friend of the Pastoral System.

Partners who have entered into a system law contract share certain system functions.

You can rest assured!

"Oh, this is a merit space, a very unique feature. Did you devour this type of space?"

Min Yu clearly recognized this function.

That puts my mind at ease!

"Hehe, I already have the Rural System, so I've integrated the half of the space left behind by the original owner."

Mi Shishi smiled shyly.

"Great, you're lucky!"

Min Yu gave a thumbs up and then explained.

"This kind of merit space is amazing. It's a great tool to help you earn a lot of merit. It comes from the Taiming Sacred Domain and is very popular among mission envoys."

"Nani?"

"I am a mission envoy from the Mingchuan Sacred Domain, but I am currently on a mission in the outer realms. I will come to find you when I return!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Mi Shishi and Min Yu chatted for a while longer before hanging up the video call.

I've already made up my mind.

We must wait for him before returning.

Mi Shishi carefully studied the merit tablet and discovered that her friend list had been merged with the pastoral system.

Besides my friend Min Yu.

There is also an unknown friend whose name is marked with an asterisk and is shown in gray.

It must be the original owner without a doubt.

I just don't know which level I need to advance to before I can contact her.

The merit monument also has a special function: it automatically refreshes the list of merit events, the progress of the events, and the merit points earned.

To Mi Shishi's delight, she could clearly distinguish between acts of giving back and acts of purifying merit!

As long as you follow the merit list to accumulate merit, you'll never have to worry about missing out again!

such as.

How many people have benefited from promoting the tofu recipe? How much merit has been accumulated so far? How much pure merit has been gained?

The merit list records everything clearly; it's truly a super tool for accumulating merit.

No wonder Min Yu admires him so much!

I owe the original owner a huge favor!

First, make arrangements for her relatives in this life, and strive to ensure that their descendants can benefit.

By the time both roads in Shanqian Village were completed, the magistrate of Shan County would soon be returning to the capital to report on his duties.

Before he returned to Beijing, Mi Shishi prepared a big gift for him that would definitely lead to his promotion.

The magistrate of Shan County was accompanied by his servant.

I was invited to the Wu family's banquet.

Mi Shishi acted mysteriously and took him to visit the quarry, where there was a natural cave.

When the Wu family members get tired from quarrying and breaking stones, they sometimes rest here.

The cave is warm in winter and cool in summer.

Actually, it's not very deep inside, and there's nothing particularly special about it.

however!

Mi Shishi came in a few times.

It is said that a cave within a cave was discovered inside, containing a stone statue and a stone table with two animal skin scrolls on it.

Here comes the point!

An animal skin scroll was embroidered with ancient characters, which, when translated, turned out to be recipes for cement, soap, toothpaste, and so on.

The recipes for tofu and braised meat are also included.

On another animal skin scroll was an embroidered map, clearly a map of mineral distribution in the Zhenshan area, with limestone and gypsum minerals marked out.

and also!

Inside the stone box under the stone table.

Surprisingly, it also contained seeds of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, and animal hides indicating that they were not picky about the soil and were high-yielding food crops.

This is a truly great act of merit that benefits the country and its people!

of course.

These seeds have become fossils, but living plants can still be found in Zhenshan.

Needless to say, Mi Shishi must have planted it beforehand.

"A miracle, this is a miracle!"

"May Heaven bless our Great Yin!"

The magistrate of Shan County was extremely excited and knelt down before the stone statue.

Mi Shishi ultimately resorted to vulgarity, creating a miracle.

Finally, the recipes for tofu and braised meat were also written on it.

That way, we won't have to worry about vulnerabilities!

As for the recipe for braised meat, it's not exclusive, so the Wu family might suffer losses.

But it’s safe!

To avoid being coveted by others.

The magistrate of Shan County did not rush back to the capital immediately. Instead, he submitted another secret memorial and stayed at the Wu family's house to await a reply from the capital.

With the strength of the entire dynasty, it would be easy to gather enough materials and make it according to the recipe in a short period of time.

In less than two months, the capital sent an imperial envoy and officials from the Ministry of Works.

Not only should the Wu family be commended, but a temple should also be built for the stone statues in the cave within a cave to receive incense offerings and worship.

Most importantly, the agricultural official was to test several new varieties in the Zhenshan area.

Officials from the Ministry of Works were also to take over limestone and gypsum mines.

Wu Laoshi has been promoted again.

Oh, I should say, he was knighted, though only as a baron, but the title was hereditary for three generations.

As long as they don't rebel.

The Wu family's wealth and status are assured.

This is much more reliable in terms of profit than having a proprietary recipe for braised meat!

The noble mansion will also be built together with the temple. The wasteland that the Wu family bought earlier will be used to build the noble mansion.

The temple was naturally built inside that cave, and the surrounding quarry was also enclosed within it.

The Wu family acquired a noble title.

Of course, there's no need to do stonemasonry work anymore!

The annual salary is enough to cover expenses, not to mention that the Wu family will continue to produce tofu products and braised meat.

"Host, something's happening!"

074 suddenly issued a warning.

Mi Shishi quickly checked the virtual water mirror.

Two masked men dressed in black appeared in the Wu family compound and silently slipped into each room.

"074, bring them in!"

The rural system has already included the hillside area, including the Wu Family Courtyard, the adjacent wasteland, the quarry area, and so on.

"Hypnosis!"

Mi Shishi's soul cultivation level has already reached the advanced stage, and since integrating the local pastoral system, the restrictions she faces have been greatly reduced.

Her system-based soul magic items have also been unlocked as her cultivation level has advanced.

However, this is not the cultivation world, so soul magic items cannot be used directly in the real world, but they can be used in the system's virtual world!

Because these two men in black have been incorporated into the rural system, they have essentially become NPCs.

After the rural system was integrated, it naturally also gained the function of creating realistic scenes that can be customized.

That's how awesome it is.

These two men in black are assassins from the Linglie Pavilion. Their goal is to capture the Wu family and force them to reveal their recipes, and not just the recipe for braised meat, but also the recipes for cement, soap, and other ingredients.

It's unclear at which point the leak occurred.

The imperial court did not publish the formula.

Instead, the funds were secretly allocated, and the Imperial Household Department ultimately profited from the transactions, increasing the national treasury's revenue.

"Collect causal lines!"

Give the imperial court some face and help them find the traitor.
