In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.
Chapter 54 Zhao Minmin
The girl's eyes lit up for a moment, then returned to their previous blank expression. She quickly replied, "Sure, I'm the best at shoveling snow! Please leave it to me, sister."
Hongtang took a small bag of compressed biscuits out of her backpack and tossed it to her, saying, "This is the deposit."
The girl was a little overwhelmed. "This is too much." The deposit alone was a bag of compressed biscuits, while the wages she wanted were only one yuan.
Hongtang smiled and said, "Not much. Tomorrow at the service hall, 7:30. See you there." Without giving the girl a chance to continue the conversation, she turned and left.
"Zhao Minmin," the girl shouted from behind, "Sister, my name is Zhao Minmin, what's your name?"
"Hongtang." Hongtang waved behind her.
"Zhao Minmin!" a shrill female voice rang out. "We've finally found you! Hand over what you're holding! Dean Li hasn't eaten for two days. Do you want him to starve to death?"
Upon seeing the visitor, Zhao Minmin lowered her head, hiding the hatred in her eyes, and said woodenly, "I have no food, but I found a job shoveling snow tomorrow. I can only get a biscuit after I finish the job."
"Then what are you still standing here for? Hurry up and find some work to do! Do you want us all to starve to death?"
The screaming girl was even angrier. She hadn't eaten all day, and Dean Li had fallen ill from the cold. She was about to lose all her support. And Zhao Minmin had been very disobedient lately. If she lost control of her, she wouldn't be able to survive in the base on her own.
Zhao Minmin ran away quickly before the girl's slap landed on her face.
"You piece of trash, how dare you dodge!" the screaming girl yelled behind her, casually tossing a small jet of water at Zhao Minmin. However, the water jet froze into an icicle the moment it left her palm and fell to the ground.
"So it's speed and water-based abilities." No wonder Zhao Minmin couldn't beat that girl and the so-called dean behind her; no wonder she had to compromise.
She's hardworking, patient, and not greedy; she might achieve great things in the future. I hope she lives a long life. If she's of use to me, Hongtang wouldn't mind helping her.
After symbolically exchanging some grain, oil, and coal, Hongtang returned to her lodgings. When she reached the sixth floor, she was dumbfounded.
"Hey, who put up this iron fence?"
Hongtang stood at the stairwell between the fifth and sixth floors. An iron gate had been welded on there at some point, and judging by its thickness, it must be quite heavy.
However, this barrier is only good for ordinary people; it's not very useful against ability users, especially those with metal-based abilities.
Hongtang originally intended to teleport back to her house, but there were people in the building, and several of them were peeking out from the stairwell to watch the commotion.
What bad luck. Too many people are such a hassle; Hongtang wanted to leave even more.
Using her mental energy, Hongtang checked and found that the man across the hall was also home. She pounded on the iron gate, making a loud banging noise. But ten minutes passed, and the man across the hall didn't come out to open the door.
Hongtang was really angry now. Just as she was about to turn around and go downstairs to find the housing rental center to cancel her lease, the door across the street finally opened.
The man was estimated to be nearly 1.9 meters tall, dressed entirely in black except for his eyes, which were bloodshot.
"What is it?" The man's voice was hoarse and cold, colder than the temperature of the snow and ice outside, making one's hair stand on end.
As soon as the man spoke, the people who had been waiting to watch the commotion in the hallway all slunk away. It seems this man usually has a lot of intimidation over people; I wonder what got into him to install such a door.
Hongtang kicked the iron gate, which made a clanging sound.
"Across the hall, 602." Her tone was also unpleasant, clearly giving the other person a hard time.
Anyone would be in a bad mood after standing at the door for more than ten minutes on a freezing cold day.
The man's tone grew even colder. "Just wait." Clearly, he didn't want to indulge Hongtang either.
Downstairs, two daring men, eager for a good show, hid in the shadows and muttered, "Look, look! They're about to fight."
"What are you looking at? Don't you want your eyes anymore!" Hongtang shouted downstairs after passing through the iron gate.
I originally planned to keep a low profile when I went to the city, or maybe play dumb and outsmart everyone, but it seems that won't work.
Instead of doing that, why not play the role of a "shrew"? Maybe that will reduce some trouble.
After glaring at the man across the hall, Hongtang quickly went inside.
The man looked at the keys in his hand; he had originally intended to give them to his neighbor across the hall. After his nighttime visit, he discovered that the neighbor was just an ordinary person with no special abilities and posed no threat to him.
But recently, his operation failed, and he suffered serious injuries, requiring rest. To avoid trouble, he installed an iron gate on the outside. However, he forgot to discuss it with the neighbor across the hall, and he had to force himself to get up and open the door just now.
There are two keys. This one was left for the neighbor across the hall, but they don't seem to appreciate it. Oh well, I'll just wait for them to come looking for it.
As soon as she entered the house, Hongtang took Ha Ge out of her backpack. The little guy had been clamoring to come out ever since she started banging on the iron gate.
Ha Ge: Why doesn't this stupid woman call for me when she's fighting? My little lightning can't hold back anymore.
"It's a good thing you didn't make a move, or you would have electrocuted your old man."
"Meow~" Ha Ge rubbed his head against Hong Tang's legs. Hmph, ungrateful woman.
After petting Hago's head for a while, Hongtang took it into the space.
The rabbits at the farm have given birth again; I've lost count of how many litters they've had. The baby rabbits are completely hairless, their eyes are still closed, they're only the length of a middle finger, and they're all chubby, like little mice.
When Hago saw them, he mistook them for mice and reached out his paw to grab them, which frightened the mother rabbit so much that her eyes turned red. Hongtang quickly picked up Hago, added some grass to his burp as a reassuring gesture, and then left the place of trouble.
"Brother Ha, you can't mess with any of the creatures or plants in this entire space except for the fishpond. Remember that? Otherwise, do you still remember that 'Wolf Brother'? Hmph, your old man has never eaten cat meat before."
Ha Ge meowed and turned around, presenting his big butt to Hong Tang's face.
Ha Ge: You stupid woman, all you do is bully me, and you even want to eat my flesh, boohoo~ I'm definitely not your biological daughter.
"Susu~"
"Shasha~"
Tengteng and Sisi also came over. The two vines quickly wrapped around Hongtang's wrists, the tips of the vines caressing her fingers.
Hongtang felt as if she were wearing two exquisite jade bracelets. One was emerald green, and the other was dark green.
"Wow, Tengteng and Sisi, you two have leveled up again! You're such sweet little darlings of your mom." Hongtang admired her hands for a while before realizing that the two little ones had leveled up.
The vine has reached level four and is already 20 meters long when it stretches out. The silk has also reached level two, but it is only a little over 6 meters long. However, it has mastered its first skill: its entire body of tendrils can form a vast, all-encompassing net that cuts off all life.
Hongtang and Hage crawled into the woven green tennis ball and rolled around on the grass, playing happily. Tengteng joined in, taking the opportunity to toss the tennis ball up and down, left and right. The whole family had a great time.
My sister, working alone: So I'm not the biological daughter after all!
