I Raised A Sick And Weak Prince
Chapter 11
After the servants had all moved away, the entire place immediately quieted down.
This was the most peaceful time Lu Huan had been in over ten years. There was only the sound of snow falling between heaven and earth.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath. His eyebrows relaxed a lot.
After changing into a set of dry robes, Lu Huan did not rest for even a moment. Instead, he found a hoe in a corner of the Firewood Courtyard. First, he circled around the entire area that the Old Madame had rewarded him. After observing for a while, he finally stopped at an open space behind the bamboo forest.
The snow here was soft, and there were some sprouts and bamboo shoots, indicating that it was suitable for planting.
It was winter now, so there was no way to plant anything. However, he could first open up the wasteland …
Lu Huan moved very quickly. In less than two hours, he had plowed the land once.
Then, he went to the other courtyards that were empty after the servants had left. He violently tore down the fences in those courtyards, carried the fences to the wasteland, and planted them.
Every few days, he plowed the land. It would be more suitable for planting in the coming year.
The vegetables he planted could be eaten by himself or sold. No matter what, his livelihood wouldn't be a problem in the future. It was much better to be self-reliant than to be constrained everywhere.
After doing this, he skillfully tied up the remaining fences and made a circle around his firewood yard to make a small chicken house. He also took the materials from the other firewood houses and dismantled a lot of wood. With the addition of straw, he made it into a nest for the hens to protect them from the cold in winter without any hesitation.
Su Xi cheered him on from outside the screen. "Hurry up and buy some hens. It's time to eat more eggs to nourish yourself."
Not far away was the servants' small kitchen. Previously, it was used by the servants on night duty to cook supper. After the Old Madame had rewarded this courtyard to him, the people in the back kitchen had no choice but to move away.
Although this small kitchen was simple and crude and couldn't be compared to Prince Ning Fu's back kitchen, it had a stove and firewood.
Lu Huan's forehead was covered in a layer of sweat, but he didn't rest for a moment. He took his tools and tidied up the simple kitchen.
By the time he finished all this, it was almost dark, but he still didn't stop. In a spurt of energy, he took the silver and walked quickly towards the side door of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Clearly, he was planning to take the three taels of silver he had just received and go to the market to buy some tools, chickens, and ducks.
Su Xi, who was outside the screen, was eating a bun and watching with great interest!
In the time it took for her to eat breakfast, the simplified drawing of Zaizai kept running around on the screen.........
The fence was thrown up as quickly as the wall, and the ground was softer than ever, and the footprints of the cub were everywhere in the snow.
......
...............
...........................
Why would he still want to watch Li Ziqi's live broadcast? In the future, he would just watch Zaizai farm!
. Su Xi wanted to go over and see what the ancient market outside Prince Ning Fu was like. She was extremely curious. Would there be street vendors, candy-figurines, and so on?
But because she couldn't unlock them for the time being, she could only watch as the game character disappeared from this place.
"Every time I accumulate points, I can only unlock one place. When will I be able to unlock all of them?!" Su Xi was left in the empty space. She wiped her hands with a piece of tissue.
The system said, "Please work hard to complete the main mission. As the difficulty of the mission increases, the reward points will also increase."
Su Xi casually asked, "What's the next main mission?"
The system popped up. "Please accept the second main mission (elementary): Help the protagonist to increase the production of food to 2,000 kilograms and successfully get to know the richest man in the capital, Wan Sanqian. Obtain his support."
"Difficulty: 4 stars. Reward: 100 gold coins. Reward: 8 points."
'No …'
'What the hell???'
As a liberal arts student who wasn't good at mathematics, Su Xi quickly opened the Baidu page and checked how much food 2,000 kilograms was.
After taking a look, she almost fainted.
"There's only one player in the game. You want him to farm and produce two thousand kilograms of crops by himself?
How long would that take?
Do you still want to be the emperor? "
The System said mechanically, "So the difficulty is four stars."
"Moreover, the game is set in ancient times. There are no excavators or modern facilities. Even the variety of fertilizers has not been discovered. Other merchants can produce a few hundred kilograms per mu, and that has already shocked the capital. You want me to produce two thousand kilograms?!"
The System Recorder said, "So the difficulty is four stars."
Su Xi asked suspiciously, "What's the total difficulty rating? It can't be ten stars, right?"
The System was silent for a moment, then said, "A total of 100 stars."
Su Xi, "…???"
This game was f * cking crazy. This was only the second main mission. Su Xi couldn't imagine what other missions were waiting for him.
But she was eager to give it a try.
It was clear that among all the bad people in Prince Ning Fu's faction, only the Old Madame could support Zaizai.
But the Old Madame had a cold personality. At most, she would give Zaizai some help and benefits. It was impossible for her to completely stand on Zaizai's side and protect him.
If Zaizai wanted to be strong, he had to rely on the people outside Prince Ning Fu. In other words, he had to gradually recruit people and build his own power.
To put it simply, he had to take in followers.
If Wan Sanqian became Zaizai's follower, how would Prince Ning Fu and the rest of them react?
Su Xi looked at Wan Sanqian's information and found that the richest man in the capital was doing well. He had connections with the Prime Minister, the Minister of Rites, the Assistant Minister of Justice and other officials.
Rumor had it that he was richer than the national treasury.
Money could make the devil turn millstones. It was the same in the game.
So the next goal was to help Zaizai grow a new type of rice that didn't exist in ancient times.
Take the entire capital by storm?
The System, "…" The girl had a good train of thought.
But there was no rush. He had to take it step by step.
Prince Ning Fu was afraid that things would not be peaceful in the future. Although Lu Wenxiu had been locked up for a month to reflect on her mistakes, Lady Ning was still thinking of ways to mess with the minions in the game.
He still had to be on guard.
Su Xi was bored to death waiting for the minions to return from outside when the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open.
Her good friend and deskmate, Gu Qin, poked his head in and smiled as he waved the bag of snacks in his hand, "Su Xixi, we're here to see you!"
Su Xi was pleasantly surprised, "Why are you guys here?"
She had been playing games in the hospital for a long time. Although Zaizai was very cute, she was almost sick from holding it in. She needed to see living people.
"We missed you. We had a math exam today. It was very difficult. Our homeroom teacher even nagged us to bring the exam to you."
Gu Qin said. He walked in and sat beside the bed. He opened the bag of snacks and placed it in front of Su Xi, "I brought you potato chips."
Su Xi did not stand on ceremony. She opened the bag of potato chips and said, "Thanks."
Huo Jingchuan followed Gu Qin in, holding a small wallet in his hand.
Su Xi asked, "What's that?"
"Didn't you say you were short of money last time when you called?"
Huo Jingchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "We used our pocket money to get you some money, but we couldn't get much. It's only about a thousand. Let's see if it can solve your urgent need."
He and Gu Qin thought that Su Xi was unlucky again. She had broken some merchandise or glass display and needed to pay for it.
After all, such unlucky things often happened to Su Xi.
He and Gu Qin had witnessed Su Xi's bad luck since she was young. From the beginning, they found it inconceivable, but now, they were almost calm.
"You guys …" Su Xi looked at Gu Qin and Huo Jingchuan. She sniffed and was speechless for a long time.
She did not expect that her two good friends would immediately gather money for her when she called and said she was short of money.
A thousand yuan was not a small amount for a high school student.
The two of them must have secretly taken some money from home and then scammed other students for food.
"It's not like we don't want you to return it. You can return it to us on the weekend when your leg is better," Gu Qin said.
"Yes."
Huo Jingchuan said cheekily, "Or you can just go and chase that rich second-generation school hunk Yin Yao from the science class. You won't have to worry about money if you chase him."
Su Xi's nose was sore and her heart was moved. She suddenly lost her composure.
She threw a bag of jelly at him and said, "Shut up."
Su Xi held the thousand yuan in her small wallet. She did not plan to accept it.
Most importantly, even if she accepted it, it was just a drop in the bucket. Her family owed 100,000 yuan now.
Wait …
Su Xi suddenly remembered something. She almost forgot that she bought a lottery ticket a few days ago. Wasn't today the day of the lottery?
Su Xi suddenly jumped down from the bed with one leg and said to Gu Qin, "Gu Qin, help me downstairs. I bought a lottery ticket three days ago. Today is the day of the lottery. I want to go and claim my prize."
"What the hell?"
Gu Qin was amused. He pushed Su Xi's head and said, "Did you become stupid after staying in the hospital? Anyone can win the lottery. Are you possessed by bad luck?
Absolutely impossible. "
Su Xi did not believe it in her heart. However, she felt that this game was a little mysterious. She had asked the nurses if they wanted to play this game. However, when the nurses checked their phones, they could not find the game in the app store. In other words, it only appeared on her phone.
What did this mean?
This was too strange.
Moreover, it was better to believe it than not. Poor people had to grab hold of every glimmer of hope.
She grabbed Gu Qin's arm and skipped downstairs.
Huo Jingchuan followed her downstairs. He was still holding a packet of raccoon crispy noodle snacks. He looked at Su Xi as if she was an idiot. However, since Su Xi was interested and insisted on making a scene, he played along with her and said, "Stop jumping. I'll carry you."
Two girls and a boy left the inpatient department and walked to the lottery shop outside the hospital entrance.
A group of people stared nervously at the screen, waiting for the lottery to be announced.
Huo Jingchuan squeezed in with Su Xi on his back. Su Xi took out the string of numbers she bought a few days ago and handed it to the boss of the lottery shop.
On one hand, she felt that she was crazy to believe the words of a game system. However, on the other hand, her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
She called out nervously, "Boss, look at this string of numbers."
The boss pointed at the screen on the wall and said, "The winning numbers will be out later."
He casually glanced at Su Xi from under his glasses. He took the lottery ticket and muttered, "Little girl, it's obviously your first time buying a lottery ticket. Why are you so nervous?
Look at your sweaty palms. "
"Boss, let me tell you, calm down. The probability of winning is too low. Don't lose all your pocket money …"
His words came to an abrupt end.
The boss's pupils shrank. He was dumbstruck as he stared at the string of numbers on the screen. He then looked down at the lottery ticket paper that Su Xi gave him. It was as if he was struck by lightning.
He looked at the numbers on the screen again and said, "F * ck, you … little girl, you …"
"Patter." The crispy noodle snacks in Huo Jingchuan's hand fell to the ground and spilled all over.
He casually glanced at it and memorized the lottery number.
Damn it, Su Xixi's lottery number was exactly the same as the number of the first prize winner on the screen!
The first prize was … three million???
His eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets.
This world was crazy … Su Xi could even win the lottery … She had accumulated sixteen years of bad luck. Was it a one-time change from extreme misfortune?
The people in the lottery shop realized something. They were stunned and looked at Su Xi.
Su Xi stood on the ground and almost couldn't stand steadily. Blood rushed to her head.
Did she see wrongly … or was she dreaming?
Three million????
Ahhh, three million!!!
She had never seen so much money in her life!
How could she spend it all?!
Her mind was in a mess. The first thought that flashed through her mind was … wait, could she spend money on Zaizai?!
