Chapter 102: Settlement Reward
“Big Shot, would you like some?” Player 3 pretended to pour some for Yu Jiang too.
“No thanks, I don’t drink baijiu.”
Yu Jiang waved her hand, took out the sparkling wine beverage she had just bought from the vending machine in the farm store, poured half a glass for Player 5, and everyone clinked glasses together.
In her ears was the music played by the NPC boss in the wooden house, the atmosphere relaxed, as if they had temporarily forgotten the crisis on the road. At this moment, they were all just tourists camping in the farm.
Relaxed and comfortable time always passes quickly.
In the blink of an eye, instance time was left with only 2 hours.
Everyone was rushing to harvest the last crop, too busy to sort supplies.
Yu Jiang used fertilizer and advanced feed for her last batch of supplies, shortening the harvest time to barely make it.
At exactly 12 noon, the instance declared end.
For the first time, no one looked forward to instance reward settlement; instead, they didn’t want to leave the instance and wished they could spend crystal coins to stay a few more days.
Yu Jiang really asked if it was possible. The farm NPC boss looked at her and snorted, his expression three parts indifferent and seven parts proud, only saying:
“In your dreams! Even if you encounter a farm service area on the road in the future, you can stay for at most 12 hours. Using planting ground and breeding area requires rent, or you can directly buy supplies produced by our farm.”
“You took out the mutants occupying my home, so I’m telling you this.” The boss added.
Yu Jiang glanced at the farm boss’s favorability; it was quite high at 20 points.
For other teams’ farm instances, were the NPCs the boss’s family, or just self-service light screens for purchase?
Yu Jiang felt it was both.
When more players completed hidden quests and there weren’t enough NPCs, it switched to self-service purchase.
While pondering, the surrounding environment had changed; they were teleported out of the instance, or rather kicked out by the instance.
The six stood in the parking plaza, all with a consistent style.
Wearing plain old cotton clothes, several urea sacks at their feet, more on their shoulders, grayish scarves covering their entire heads, looking dusty and dirty.
Faces and clothes stained with dirt from tilling, moving goods, or shoveling manure, comparable to the farmer avatars in Fight the Landlord.
Exuding a simple and honest aura, faces beaming with the joy of a bountiful harvest, like city-bound vendors selling vegetables.
Now, who could tell they had cleared the instance in 12 hours?
Yu Jiang had the most supplies; the supermarket cart bore weight it shouldn’t, sacks stacked one on another, utilizing space to the extreme.
Player 3 in leather jacket walked over, “Big Shot, let’s add each other as friends right here.”
This couldn’t be forgotten; once the big shot floored it and left, who knew when they’d meet again.
“Sure.” Yu Jiang added all five, “Friend channel can only be used back on the road; I’ll pull you in later.”
Player 3’s leather jacket nickname was ‘Murong Tiedan’, the one who appeared on public screen as The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain. Seeing Yu Jiang, he was stunned at first, then excitedly clapped his hands.
“Damn! It’s really the live Little Drill Wind big shot! I’m making it big too!”
Murong Tiedan continued, “Big Shot, you hid this too well.”
She had said at the start that she was just a low combat power player doing manufacturing and gathering.
Fine fine fine, if the big shot called this low combat power, what were they? Scrap metal combat power?
Yu Jiang looked at the list. Player 10 Uncle Desert Eagle, Player 2 Big Sister Good Times, Player 7 Boss is an Idiot.
This worker’s resentment was strong; he had said it himself during last night’s barbecue, working 007 overtime at the company until dizzy, then arriving on the road.
“Hurry and move the supplies onto the vehicle; the parking plaza will close soon too.”
Yu Jiang was already pushing the cart to the truck bed, placing what fit in the gaps, stuffing the rest inside the vehicle, to sort later on her personal road.
She didn’t want her hard-earned supplies to be left behind when people were sent out of the parking plaza.
“Big Shot, let me help carry some!” Murong Tiedan packed his own supplies and came to help.
Boss is an Idiot and Yu Ji also did, the three helping Yu Jiang move supplies to the vehicle side, then stepping back on their own.
There were curtains inside the vehicle, plus anti-peep film pasted by Desert Eagle Uncle, clearly not wanting others to see inside the vehicle.
Sticking with the big shot was right; maintaining good relations might mean teaming up for instances later.
“See you later, Yu Ji sister.” Good Times Big Sister gave Yu Ji an encouraging look.
Yu Ji nodded firmly, “Thanks everyone for taking care of me in this instance; I’ll try hard to survive!”
She thought she had nothing left, but leaving the instance with so many supplies, she could hold out for a long time.
Yu Jiang had just returned to the vehicle and waved goodbye to everyone when the parking plaza countdown ended.
The next second, she and her vehicle were back on the road.
After exiting the instance, the parallel road was usually not too long; after driving ten-plus minutes, she was back on her personal road.
Only then did Yu Jiang open the instance reward settlement interface.
[Congratulations, player. Based on your performance in Happy Farm, you qualify for the highest tier reward:
Farm exclusive supplies +30%, crystal coins +500
Happy Farm limited super sunlight card (one equals five!)
Fertilizer card*5 (upgrades crops after use, triggers surprise effect)

Personal storage space grids*10
Level 5 universal component card*10]
Service areas with Happy Farm logo! Selling crops produced by the farm!
If memory served, the raccoon supermarket fresh food section had this logo, so raccoon supermarket counted too; she could get discount there!
Plus 20 grid rewards, coming at the perfect time!
She had gathered all materials needed for level 5 vehicle.
Today was day 29 of survival; tomorrow night the game area leaderboard would be announced, and she felt a bit of anticipation.
These two days were instance and game area leaderboard settlement time; weekly mileage mission hadn’t refreshed, nor had daily mileage mission.
Probably because exiting the instance was past noon 12, not even a full day.
Not to mention many players exiting low health, some with broken arms or legs, flooding public screen begging for medicine or players specializing in healing.
The game had to give everyone a breather, a chance to survive.
Yu Jiang could thus relax and prepare to level up her vehicle, sort supplies.
This wave was real riches; the new 20 grids weren’t even enough, making vehicle upgrade very necessary.
No worry now about energy not supporting level 5 vehicle, especially after refueling in the farm.
She glanced at team channel; everyone had mostly exited the instance too.
Han Jiang Gu Ying: “This 2-star instance was a bit tough; everyone okay? @The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain, I have extra level 5 component cards; do you need any?”
Yu Jiang: “I’ve gathered all materials for level 5 vehicle, some even extras. Anyone short? Can trade with batteries.”
She @’d teammates outside the instance: X, Han Jiang Gu Ying, Pure Love Cockroach, Holding a Cleaver, etc., who were upgrading vehicles.
Next chapter is level 5 vehicles, with small RVs~
