With the old elm tree gone, the place to enjoy the shade is naturally gone too.
However, for the two people who used cheat codes, this was no big deal.
The two were in a sheltered spot in a deep valley, where there were only Shitou and red soil, and not a single blade of grass.
In addition, it is far from the mountain village, so almost no one comes here usually.
Ling Yi redeemed an air-conditioned tent, a table and chairs, and also a carpet and soft blanket.
Lin Xueru didn't have much currency in the mall, so she exchanged it for two ice creams and two bottles of drinks.
At that moment, the two were eating ice cream and discussing their future plans.
"With our abilities, surviving in this era is naturally not a problem. What are your plans next?" Ling Yi asked.
Lin Xueru shook her head. "The original owner of this body had a family to support."
"In reality, I didn't want to get involved with this family."
"My grandmother was sharp-tongued, selfish, and favored boys over girls. She would occasionally cause trouble. My grandfather, on the other hand, Preference biased and doted on my Second Brother. He treated my eldest brother like a slave, and my third sister and I like commodities."
According to the original plot, the eldest brother died from overwork, and the third sister was sold to a scoundrel in the village, where she was abused every day and eventually hanged herself.
"As for the original owner of this body, she starved to death three days ago, which is why I transmigrated here."
"If there was no food at home, that would be one thing, but even though there was food, Grandpa and Grandma hid it, and my Second Brother and I only stole some every night."
"Oh, by the way, the little bit of grain your family received as a village subsidy was also stolen by that old lady."
"The three of them eat until they're stuffed every day, but they don't care about the lives of others at all."
"The original owner of this body didn't eat a single bite of food for three days and starved to death."
Ling Yi asked, "Who is the Protagonist of this world?"
In most transmigration novels, there is a pseudo- Protagonist, like the junior sister in the second world.
The real Protagonist, of course, is Lin Xueru, who is standing right in front of us.
" The Protagonist's name is Lin Xueqing, or Shen Xue Qing for now. She's a young woman from the countryside who comes from the city, and she'll probably arrive in our Shitou Village in about half a month."
"What's the Protagonist's cheat ability?" Ling Yi asked.
" Revive!"
Wow, this world is really interesting. One is a transmigrator, one is Revive person, and one is a transmigrator.
After arriving in Shitou Village, Shen Xue Qing, drawing on her experience of Revive, successfully helped the village dig three wells with water.
"Before this, six wells had been dug in the village, but none of them yielded water."
"This immediately elevated Shen Xue Qing's status in the village, and she subsequently discovered a large quantity of supplies that Waite had secretly hidden in a cave on Old Man Mountain."
"Among them were Firearms, gold and silver jewelry, and a large amount of grain. She secretly hid most of the supplies elsewhere, leaving only one-third of the grain, and reported it to the village."
"But this one-third of the grain successfully helped Shitou Village get through the most difficult months."
Ling Yi stroked his chin. "This Shen Xue Qing doesn't seem like a good person!"
"Yes, a person who is extremely good at disguising himself, and also extremely selfish."
"You have to understand, this batch of supplies was originally enough to supply a thousand-strong army for a month. It's a considerable amount, and she definitely couldn't transport it by herself without alerting anyone."
"So, she secretly found twelve young men from the village, plus five educated youths, and it took her half a month to move most of the supplies away."
"To ensure the secret of these supplies was not leaked, Shen Qingxue poisoned all seventeen people."
"That's ruthless!" Ling Yi curled his lip.
As expected, none of the fake Protagonist are good people.
"She's ruthless and vicious, but what can you expect when she's the Protagonist? The ending is wonderful; she not only lives happily ever after with the male lead and has many children, but she also uses that batch of gold and silver as initial capital."
"Using her experience from later generations, she bought land, built factories, and amassed a fortune. Thirty years later, she became a household name as the richest woman in China."
"So?" Ling Yi asked with a smile.
"What do you think?" Lin Xueru threw the popsicle stick on the ground. "Everything else is fine, but the supplies in the cave definitely need to be taken."
"However, I don't intend to take everything. I only plan to take the gold, silver, jewelry, food, Firearms, leaving them where they are."
"I don't want this grain. Just bury it somewhere conspicuous so the villagers will find it."
"If the previous third of the grain was enough to help the village Nanguan, then there will be no problem at all if we give all the grain to the village."
"You're not planning to take credit for this?" Ling Yi asked.
"What's the use?" Lin Xueru shook her head.
"We have a system, and we're not short of food. After we collect this batch of gold and silver jewelry, we can buy whatever delicious food we want in the mall. I can show off my meat to my whole family every day."
"You still want to help your family of oddballs?" Ling Yi asked, puzzled.
Lin Xueru sighed, "But since I've taken over the body of the original owner, I have to bear the Karma of that body!"
Ling Yi gave Lin Xueru a thumbs up.
"However, I won't spoil them too much. If they listen, they'll be fed; if they don't, I'll punish them severely. I'm not the weak and easily bullied original owner of this body."
"Once it's released a year later, I'll go to a big city and use the system to help our country develop rapidly and become a world superpower."
"Then, we'll personally lead our warships to annihilate the Radiant Water Country."
"Then you'll have to take me with you," Ling Yi said with a smile.
Ling Yi really likes this Protagonist; he's just too damn handsome.
Unlike other Protagonist, who spend their days in love affairs and complicated love triangles and quadrangles.
"Absolutely!" Lin Xueru smiled brightly.
"When Shen Xue Qing leads her people to dig for supplies in the cave, we'll pin an extra-special crime on her and see if she survives!" Lin Xueru said with her hands on her hips, laughing.
"However, she couldn't explain why she knew about this location where special supplies were stored."
"Hehe, when that time comes, Lin Xueqing —no, Shen Xue Qing —will be lucky to escape with her life."
"You hate the Protagonist that much?"
"Hmph, I really disliked the female lead when I was reading the book. She has warped values, a vicious and ruthless mind, and more than thirty innocent lives died at her hands throughout the entire book."
"Why should someone like that be the Protagonist? Why should he have Perfection ending?"
Ling Yi gave Lin Xueru two thumbs up. " Sister Ru, awesome!"
"But what about Shen Xue Qing and Lin Xueqing? Could they be related to you?"
"It's not related to me, it's related to the original owner of this body. You know about the True and False Heiresses, right? The original owner and Lin Xueqing had this kind of relationship."
"Was the hospital involved in a mix-up at birth, or was it a deliberate attempt to switch babies?"
"It wasn't intentional. The old lady went to the wrong ward back then and somehow brought the original owner of this body back with her."
"Coincidentally, that nurse from back then was also a bit of a scatterbrain; she took Shen Xue Qing away with her, and so they were switched without any clear explanation."
"However, none of that matters, since Shen Xue Qing never intended to acknowledge her ancestors."
By this time, it was almost dark.
Ling Yi redeemed two more takeout meals from his own online store.
After finishing their meal, Lin Xueru prepared to take Ling Yi to the cave where special supplies were stored.
As for the air conditioner and tent, Lin Xueru also put them away.
After all, Ling Yi didn't have Personal Space.
Ling Yi sighed. It seemed there was no way to earn Cannon Fodder Points in the short term.
