Survival in the Mist: From a Dilapidated Wooden Hut to a Heavenly Palace in the Clouds

"Unbelievable, unbelievable, ding ding ding ding!"

Song Yufei skipped and hopped over to Mo Ming, spreading out the few small bags in her hand.

"These...are seeds? Let me see...cabbage, potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes...and rubber!"

Mo Ming was very excited. His method had worked, and he had indeed obtained rubber seeds.

"Quick...give it to me, I'll take it to the greenhouse and plant it right away."

After receiving several bags of seeds, Mo Ming happily ran outside and headed straight for the greenhouse.

Seeing Mo Ming's expression, Song Yufei couldn't contain her joy, "It seems we'll be able to make a fortune again soon!"

Seeing that the two's plan was proceeding in an orderly manner, Song Yufei was also full of expectations for this shelter rating.

Once inside the greenhouse, Mo Ming realized that the rubber trees were quite tall and wouldn't fit inside the greenhouse once they grew large enough.

However, now that the weather is getting warmer and the temperature has risen to around ten degrees Celsius, it is not a bad idea to plant it outdoors.

So Mo Ming planted several kinds of vegetable seeds in the greenhouse, then ran to the Hundred Flowers and Fruit Forest and found an open space to plant a small bag of rubber seeds, and then sprinkled two bags of plant growth regulator fertilizer.

Upon arriving at the Hundred Flowers and Fruit Forest, Mo Ming couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. The eight hours of extreme low temperatures that followed, while causing the crops in the greenhouses to wilt, did not extinguish their vitality. However, they dealt a near-devastating blow to the Hundred Flowers and Fruit Forest.

Most of the fruit trees had withered and completely lost their vitality, with only a few particularly robust ones still clinging to life, gradually recovering as the weather warmed up.

"We need to cultivate more flowering fruit trees, otherwise the flowering fruit will eventually run out."

After spending some more time watering and fertilizing all the crops, Mo Ming finally left with peace of mind.

Passing by an empty fishpond, Mo Ming suddenly remembered what Song Yufei had said: someone on her friend list seemed to raise fish, and he could go to him to buy some fish fry.

"Yufei, is that fish-keeping friend you mentioned before still alive? If so, bring her over here!"

Song Yufei rolled her eyes, speechless. "Please, how can you ask a question like that? Asking someone if they're dead right off the bat? Have you no manners?"

"Uh...hehe, but I learned my lesson from the past. It was my fault, I won't do it again!" Mo Ming smiled sheepishly, knowing that he had indeed been a bit impolite.

"Her profile picture is still online. I've sent you her contact information. She's a girl, so be serious!"

"Look at what you're saying, am I not proper? I'm a gentleman, okay!"

"Hehe, I laughed..."

Clicking on the business card, Mo Ming was surprised to find that he was actually a friend of this person. Looking at the profile picture and name again, he thought, "Good heavens, is the world really that small?"

"Yufei, are you sure you didn't give the wrong business card?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"This...Lin Qingqing?"

"You know her?" This time it was Song Yufei's turn to be surprised. How could she possibly know Lin Qingqing?

Mo Ming laughed heartily, "Hahaha, it's more than just knowing each other, we have quite a deep connection!"

"Oh? Tell me quickly, what's going on between you and her? How did you two become so closely connected?"

"Gossip!"

"..."

Mo Ming pointed to Xiao Jin, who was patrolling in the air outside, and slowly said, "I don't know if you noticed, but when we first crossed into the Misty World, someone sent a message in the world chat channel about a bird egg that needed to be exchanged for some wood."

Song Yufei thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was such a thing. "I think I saw it too. I remember that at the time, not many people wanted to buy it! Timber was a rare commodity back then."

"Yes, yes, I added that person as a friend in private and traded 50 units of wood for that bird egg, which is now Little Gold---Golden Feather Sky Eagle!"

"What does this have to do with Lin Qingqing? You're not trying to say that person is Lin Qingqing, are you?"

"Hahaha, that's her!"

Having received an affirmative answer, Song Yufei's mouth opened slightly. "What a small world!"

Song Yufei, with her long, slender legs that seemed to say she didn't recognize anyone, strolled to the side and stopped arguing with Mo Ming.

......

Mo Ming: Mr. Lin, how have you been lately?

Lin Qingqing: Mo Ming? You're a rare guest! What business does this big shot have with me?

Mo Ming: It's nothing serious, just wondering if you still have any bird eggs to sell? Hehe!

Lin Qingqing: Goodbye, and take care!

Mo Ming: Hahaha, come back, come back, come back! I have important business to discuss!

Mo Ming: I heard you raise a lot of fish, I'd like to buy some.

Lin Qingqing: How did you know?

Lin Qingqing was somewhat surprised. Due to the limited number of fish, she hadn't advertised the sale of fish on the platform in order to ensure her own food reserves.

He'd only done a few private transactions, so how did he know? Was it through an acquaintance?

Mo Ming: I already said it was just hearsay!

Lin Qingqing: Who told you that?

Mo Ming: What's wrong? Are your fish something you can't show to people? You can't even talk about them?

Lin Qingqing: You're the one who's ashamed to be seen by others. I was just asking out of curiosity.

Mo Ming: What kinds of fish do you keep? Tell me about them! If they're good, I'll buy more!

Lin Qingqing: Not for sale!!!

Mo Ming: What?!

Mo Ming was dumbfounded. Had this girl lost her mind? What had gotten into her that made her so unwilling to spend money?

(Author: Are you sure she's not trying to make things difficult for you?)

Mo Ming: You won't even do business that's offered to you?

Lin Qingqing: Others do it, but you don't.

Mo Ming: Why? When did I offend you?

Mo Ming carefully recalled his interactions with Lin Qingqing. After much thought, he realized that he had only traded bird eggs with her, and she had even taught him a lesson back then.

At most, I traded with Lin Nan, whom she introduced me to, once more. Could it be that I asked for too high a price back then?

Lin Qingqing: I regret selling you a bird egg last time, and I don't want to do it again.

Mo Ming laughed in anger. So she still remembered that incident. Besides, it was a case of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one was willing to hit and the other was willing to be hit. Why did it make it seem like I was the one who wronged her?

Mo Ming: How can that be the same? Last time it was some unknown bird egg, there was an element of gambling there. This time it's all out in the open, are you still afraid of losing out?

Mo Ming: And last time you tricked me, and I didn't even say anything!

Lin Qingqing: No way, I don't care, I'm not selling to you, hmph!

Mo Ming: How about... I add a little more money?

Lin Qingqing: I'm not selling, no matter how much you raise the price!

Mo Ming: Sister, can you please be reasonable?

Lin Qingqing: Don't even think about reasoning with a beautiful woman. Goodbye!

Mo Ming felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through his mind. How come she's just like Song Xiaoniu? She really doesn't listen to reason at all!

Fine, I won't sell it to you! I refuse to believe I can't buy fish without you.

(Mo Ming: Where's Qiang Ge? Where's Lao Mo?)

Beautiful? Beautiful my ass...
