Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Repair
Nian Shutong had already eaten enough, but she didn't want to waste anything. Although it was given for free, she did spend money on it.
Based on the price of the seeds she was buying, the little money she had scraped together would soon be insufficient.
Even though she wasn't very good at farming, she knew that the crops she planted needed time to mature.
It seemed she would have to redouble her efforts and dig a bit deeper into her funds.
At that moment, the delivery robot had already landed and was discussing with Fu Yunhe where to place the "small wooden house."
Fu Yunhe asked Nian Shutong for her opinion and chose a flat area facing the forest. The robot took the small wooden house out of the Space Button.
In the blink of an eye, its mechanical arm transformed into a screwdriver, and it circled the small wooden house, fixing it in place with a "zzz" sound.
After installing the small house, the robot took out a small box containing the nutrient liquid, salt, and a poison barrier that Fu Yunhe had purchased.
After completing its task, the rectangular body of the robot revealed a screen, and a pleasant child-like voice rang out:
"If you are satisfied, please give a five-star rating!"
Fu Yunhe raised his arm to press the five stars for a good rating, but he froze in place.
The robot was silver-white, and Fu Yunhe stared at the seven-part clear reflection of a person on the robot's body. Who was he?
It took a while for Fu Yunhe to recover. Was this his current self?
He suddenly understood why Nian Shutong had said he was a woman.
Thunderstruck! Astounding!
Damn! He was a manly man. In his previous life, even if he wasn't particularly bulky, he was thoroughly masculine, with muscles and abs to show for it.
But now, he had to live with such a pretty-boy face! To call it a pretty-boy face was actually a compliment!
It was the kind of face he despised the most in his past life—a beautiful girl's face.
Nian Shutong, with her dark hand holding a potato, watched this scene with great interest and remarked, "Are you stunned by your own beauty? That makes sense; who doesn't like looking at a beauty?"
"Do you like looking at it?" Fu Yunhe retorted without thinking and immediately received Nian Shutong's reply.
"If it's useful, I like it. If it's not... heh."
Her 'heh' made her stance quite clear.
Fu Yunhe closed his eyes and mentally prepared himself once, twice, three times.
No big deal, no big deal. It's not easy to become more beautiful, but it's very simple to become uglier, very simple.
He opened his eyes again, pressed a good rating, and the robot thanked him and left.
Fu Yunhe turned to look at Nian Shutong, now envying Nian Shutong's appearance, which, installed on a man, didn't feel out of place at all.
Fu Yunhe kept his thoughts to himself and spoke to Nian Shutong.
"That... rest early." He coughed and walked toward the small wooden house, controlling himself not to look at the 'tugada' in Nian Shutong's hands. He asked at the doorway, "Which side of the room do you want?"
Nian Shutong, holding the dark potato, casually pointed to the right and said, "This one."
Fu Yunhe nodded, pushed the door open, and prepared to enter.
Behind him, Nian Shutong, who had finished eating, asked, "Do you want to buy a potato?"
A potato? Wasn't it a tugada?
Nevertheless, Fu Yunhe replied without any hesitation, "No need."
His heart was bleeding, but he dared not reveal any flaws that might let Nian Shutong know he wanted that object.
Nian Shutong didn't ask further, turned, and headed to the river's edge. She put the potato into the Space Button, washed her hands and face, and returned to sleep.
"I hope to still see you alive in the morning."
"Bang!" Nian Shutong closed the right room's door.
Standing in front of the left room's door, Fu Yunhe gritted his teeth. Why didn't she ask again?
You could have asked!
If you asked, I would have bought it!
He felt like beating his chest and stomping his feet, but looking disdainfully at his thin frame, he decided to save his energy.
With a heart full of gloom, Fu Yunhe grudgingly returned to the left room.
The small wooden house was very simply furnished, with a couch in the middle of the living room and nothing else.
Each side had a room, each with a bed, and that was it.
Back in her room, Nian Shutong finally had time to take the Repair Liquid provided by the system; she didn't want to wait another moment.
She locked the doors and windows and began.
She threw the Lifebound Repair Liquid to Daodao and drank the Physical Repair Liquid herself.
"I don't feel anything..."
Nian Shutong flopped onto the bed, waiting for the medicine to take effect.
About a minute later, her bones and muscles began to change.
Her original body was barely adequate for cultivation, but with this Repair Liquid, she could be transformed for optimal physical and cultivation states.
Half an hour later, Nian Shutong got up, the effects of the medicine having worn off.
It was indeed useful, but it still fell far short of her body in her previous life. It seemed she needed to keep doing tasks and earning more.
But now... she could begin cultivation.
First, she checked her Lifebound Magical Artifact, Daodao, directing her consciousness toward the Sea of Consciousness.
Damn! What is this?
Daodao, originally a palm-sized blue dagger, now glowed with golden light and its handle had grown over a meter long.
Though still very ethereal and not solidified, how had it changed so much?
