Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

The next morning, Su Yang felt a chill in his groggy state, as if a cold wind was constantly blowing into his bed. He struggled to open his eyes, and what he saw startled him awake. For some reason, his blanket was bulging and constantly wriggling. He had been woken up by the cold because this wriggling had allowed cold air to enter his bed.

Startled, Su Yang didn't care about anything else. He threw off the covers and began circulating his Qi to prepare for battle. As soon as he started circulating his Qi, a voice rang out, sounding a little tense: "Mr. Su, what's wrong? Are there enemies?" Then Su Yang saw Jiu Li stand up, looking around warily.

Upon seeing that it was Jiuli, Su Yang's tense nerves finally relaxed. He collapsed onto the bed and asked weakly with a deep sense of helplessness, "Jiuli, how come it's you?"

Jiuli looked around but didn't see any enemies. Hearing Su Yang's voice, she looked down at Su Yang, who was covering his forehead with his arm, and immediately sat down next to him. She said softly, "I woke up and wanted to transform. I wonder if you're still sleeping, sir~".

Jiuli spoke with a hint of playfulness. Su Yang thought to himself that she must have done it on purpose. She didn't need to transform to know her own state, so how could she say she didn't know? But Su Yang didn't expose her. He just sighed, glanced out the window, and saw that it was still pitch black outside. He then pulled the blanket over himself and prepared to go back to sleep.

Seeing that Su Yang had covered himself with the blanket again, Jiu Li crawled back into bed and quietly lay down beside him, staring at his profile. Su Yang, having just fallen asleep, naturally sensed this and turned to look at Jiu Li, asking helplessly, "What's wrong, Jiu Li?"

"Nothing, sir. I was just wondering why you learned spatial skills. Did Die'er tell you something?" Jiuli asked with a smile.

"Yes, she mentioned spatial skills to me, which is why I started thinking about it," Su Yang answered truthfully.

"Okay, that's all, sir. You should go to sleep now. I'll lie down for a bit and then go back to my bracelet."

Seeing that Jiuli stopped speaking, Su Yang closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep. Hearing Su Yang's breathing gradually become steady, Jiuli looked at Su Yang's profile and thought to herself, "You've changed a lot too, Fioss."

Sunlight finally streamed into the room, the blinding sunlight waking Su Yang up again. He looked around and saw that Jiu Li had already disappeared. After dawdling for a while, he got up and dressed. The weather was getting colder every day, and Su Yang now had to wear three or four layers of clothing every day, otherwise it would be really hard to withstand this temperature.

Downstairs, there was no one. The three Icewing Dogs were snuggling together. Little Orange no longer clung to Su Yang when he slept; he usually slept with Lin Anlan. Su Yang lit the fire in the fireplace, sat on a stool to the side, and stared at the flames for a while before getting up to prepare breakfast.

As the weather got colder, Lin Anlan woke up later and later. In the past, Lin Anlan would get up and come downstairs when Su Yang made breakfast. Today, however, Lin Anlan was nowhere to be seen until Su Yang finished making breakfast, so Su Yang ate by himself. He only heard Lin Anlan yawn when he finished breakfast.

Wrapped in a thick coat, Lin Anlan yawned as she walked downstairs. Seeing the firelight in the fireplace, she went to warm herself by it. Her eyes were half open and half closed, as if the warmth and crackling sound of the fireplace were about to lull her to sleep. Seeing this, Su Yang reminded her, "Don't fall asleep. Breakfast is on the table. I'm going to do some farm work now."

"Hmm...okay..." was the only response from Lin Anlan, a sound as if she were talking in her sleep.

Su Yang shook his head helplessly, put down the Icewing Dog's breakfast, and then pushed open the door to go outside. Stepping outside, a biting wind blew in his face. Su Yang rubbed his hands, wondering if it snowed in this world during winter; as a southerner, he had hardly ever seen snow. After standing there for a while, Su Yang went to a nearby shed, picked up a hoe, and headed towards the fields.

Along the way, there were small plots of farmland that had already been cultivated, with various vegetables planted in different categories. Starting from the first plot, Su Yang bent down and pulled out the weeds one by one. It was a very time-consuming task, but Su Yang found it very interesting. The vegetables he planted were like raising a child; only with careful nurturing could they grow well in the future.

"The vegetables in these fields were planted too late; they probably won't grow this winter," Su Yang muttered to himself, looking at the fields that had been cultivated but showed no signs of sprouting. He then returned to the shed, took out a wooden bucket, filled it with stream water, and went back to the fields, watering them in order with a wooden ladle.

When he watered a field, Su Yang stopped and looked at a patch of cabbage that had been touched by frost. He felt a sense of relief: "Cabbage touched by frost must taste sweet." These cabbages from another world were a common vegetable in this world. They had a very short growth cycle, growing in just one week, so they were very cheap. Su Yang bought a lot of them because of this.

"The problem is that there are too many cabbages, and I don't have a way to store them. Sigh! Maybe I should dig a cellar. Back in the original world, I saw on TV or in movies that people in the north basically used cellars to store food and vegetables for the winter."

Without further ado, Su Yang inspected all the farmland, finished tilling the one or two plots that hadn't been plowed yet, and then picked up his hoe and returned to the house. He figured that since it was a cellar for storing food, it had to be close to the house. After looking around, the only suitable place was the shed for storing farm tools. It was not only right next to the house, but also had a shed for shelter, so he wouldn't have to worry about rain.

Su Yang went into the shed and moved all the farm tools that were originally there. He cleared a piece of land, picked up a hoe, and started digging. This time, he didn't use elemental power to speed things up, but instead enjoyed the process of working. Not only could he generate heat to keep warm, but he could also exercise his body. Su Yang hummed a little tune as he dug, and soon he dug a square pit that was one meter deep and about one meter long. He piled the excess soil aside, planning to transport it to the field later to make a vegetable garden.

As Su Yang continued digging, the depth of the pit increased proportionally to the height of the sun, gradually reaching three or four meters deep. Su Yang planned to dig horizontally when it reached five meters to ensure the cellar wouldn't collapse. At this time, Lin Anlan finished breakfast, opened the door, and let Icewing Dog and Little Orange out. Lin Anlan walked into the sunlight and looked around, but couldn't find Su Yang. Thinking he had gone out again, she turned to go back inside when she heard a digging sound.

Following the sound, Lin Anlan arrived at the edge of the pit and looked down. She saw Su Yang, covered in dirt, digging away at the bottom. Lin Anlan asked curiously, "What are you doing, Su Yang?"
